v0.20.1 Game Status: I Know Writers Who Use Subtext, and They're All Cowards (Patreon)

Evening all, it's time for the mid-month update!

This update features a bit of art, with new portrait assets for the Schen Leader NPC, and two new scenes. The direction I'm taking the Happee Leader plotline is...perhaps a bit unsubtle, I'll admit. How much you want to read into the game when it comes to real-life politics is up to you, but certainly 'fighting against the suppression of sexual expression' is one of my themes, I'd say. Given that in the past month alone I've seen at least three different web companies crack down harder on NSFW content creators, and being one myself, it's certainly a topic on my mind while writing recently.

I'm not one to cry 'censorship' at every little thing, or claim that private companies are obligated to host any sort of content, but the methodologies at play certainly have me concerned. Sites changing their rules with bare days worth of warning, previously-fine content leading to bans, and even on Patreon some of the new lines being drawn are so amazingly specific I have no idea what logic was used to come up with them. I don't believe this project is currently under any risk, but...who knows, man, who knows.

Aside from that! I'll be continuing to focus on the Harian Leader plotline for the rest of the month. A smut scene will be next in line, after which it will be time to finally wave your flag over the Harmen system. More on that next time, until then, patrons can find the game at the previous link, and the patch notes are below. Enjoy!
