New Features Coming in 5.1! (Patreon)

Lots of work has been done over the last few days, and in between the bigger initiatives I've found time to slip in a few neat features that I thought I'd share with you all today.

Random Events and Saving Time

First, all random events for home have been added. When I say "all" I mean "all intended for 5.1". There will be more. There are a total of 15 events in right now, with 9 unlocked by default and the other 6 unlocked by various actions. Since this patch focuses on Dakota, it should be pretty clear how to unlock those events!

Speaking of events, I've adjusted them so that if you choose the "do nothing" that comes with most events, time will no longer pass. Basically, you can (usually) choose to either see the event occur, or save the time slot!

Thinking with your Other Head

With 5.1, the original stat system was removed. From this, player arousal was replaced with a simple "Is Horny" flag, that was later updated to support various stages of arousal, basically 0-3, with 0 being not horny and 3 being uncontrollably horny. The next step was to make that system matter.

Now, various elements will passively affect your arousal. Sissy's can never drop to below 2, and Bimbos will permanently be stuck at 3. Wearing anal or vaginal accessories will increase your arousal by 1, wearing women's underwear as a male, or none at all. Getting off can help with arousal induced from events, but passive effects will persist.

Finally, when you're in an Uncontrollably Horny state (Level 3) you will no longer be able to make non-sexual choices when given the chance. For example, normally you could "Watch your mother in the shower" or "Keep walking", but if your arousal was maxed, you'd no longer have the option to ignore your mother in the shower. That's a simple one, but the effects can be much father reaching than that!

Transformation Controls

You've already seen the option to toggle forced transformation in the last test build, but that's now being expanded on. Leading up the Wednesday Lab Accident, you'll be given various chances to adjust the pace of the transformation systems. You'll have the option to have transformations occur quicker, or slower, or not at all. You'll still have a chance to toggle forced transformations, and now you'll be able to toggle permanent transformations, as the game is now coded to make Sissy and Bimbo states permanent if they continue taking submissive or slutty actions.

Cleaning up the John

Well, his events, anyway. His event structure has been overhauled under the hood to account for all gender states now, as well as affect them appropriately. Submitting to John will be a primary means of player feminization, with bathroom and cuckold events updating dynamically. Additionally, one of John's random events will send you into the bathroom with him, assuming you haven't already chosen one of his routes, to give you a chance to submit to him without talking to him in his office. The intention is just to give a little more visibility to the event. There will also be random events for John, Tasha, Diana and Penny to dose them for free, again for the sake of visibility.

MCS-X

Now for something from left field. I don't want to go into too much detail here, but this is basically my take on Bad Ends for The Company. Early in the story, you'll unlock the ability to create a vial of MCS-X, an experimental serum with unstable effects. It will be expensive, and take a few days to actually make, and once you give it to someone, you won't be able to dose them with anything else for the rest of the game. The effects of the serum will be intense, taking several days to fully manifest and providing new events along the way, however, dosing a character with this serum effectively ends all progression with that character. In 5.1, only Dakota can be dosed with this serum, and you'll have two choices as to how to use it on her. Moving forward, it will be expanded all characters. This adds a certain measure of deliberate cruelty to the game that I feel has been missing, and I think it'll be a fun option for people to have!

That's it for today. Things are moving very fast and I expect you'll all be experiencing the new patch sooner rather than later! Thanks everyone!
