State of the Game: In the Name of Science (Patreon)

Evening all, it's time for the monthly update! As usual, v0.12.0 is now up for free here, and v0.13.0 is now available for supporters!

This update was entirely focused around finishing the Sorority cameo plotline, and came quite close to hitting that goal but not entirely. The final scene has been added but an additional scene variant is still in the works, and a CG for that scene was just completed today and will be added in the next update. The scene is replayable, so no worries about missing content if you play it as it stands. As an added bonus, completing the plotline will reward a pair of Seeder recruits. This isn't the first method to get Seeders on your crew - there's a duty assignment task that may reward them, however this will likely be the easiest method for most folks to get a few until they're eventually unlocked as being fully recruitable. I hope you treat them kindly, and I've posted up a few examples of Seeders in DTF uniforms as extra motivation.

For the next month I'll be fully finishing up Sorority content, and then returning to more Harian and Seeder scene writing. I think I want to put at least another month into them before starting on the next set of species, so we'll see where we are in October for those. I may also be doing a poll this month for the next Carnal Coup cameo, which will certainly be a ways off in implementation but allow me to get started on having art assets made.

That's all I have for tonight, so as usual, patch notes are below, and game links will follow. Thanks for playing!
