As always, thanks so much for your support~!
CHANGELOG: 0.16 [Changes marked with a + were requested by players on Discord!]
Major additions and changes:
+ Added a sex scene for the first Awoken Haremon. This scene is activated by simply going to sleep once you've completed the Crimson Katana quest.
- Added a bunch of new voice clips for Clarabelle and Vex (in battle, dungeons, and the bedroom). [Sidenote: balancing hundreds of voice clips is tedious and takes forever, so please bear with me; some of the new clips will probably be too loud/too soft.]
- Added several new moves: Cat Nap (learned by Miruku; cures all conditions and inflicts Sleep to restore HP), Copy Cat (learned by Miruku; uses the target's last-used technique), Cat Scratch (learned by Miruku, as a replacement for Scratch; it's identical to Scratch, but with different upgrades), Cat Scratch Fever (upgrades from Cat Scratch; has a chance to inflict poison), Cat Fight (upgrades from Cat Scratch; the user and the target scratch the shit out of each other; tears clothes more easily), Lullaby (learned by Aqua; puts an enemy to sleep), Sobering Slap (learned by Clarabelle; cures Overwhelmed and recenters an ally's Mood). Be careful with Copy Cat, as there are a ton of possibilities so it may cause a bug or two.
- Added some daily events: on Sundays, Annie has a sale where everything is 10% off. On Tuesdays and Thursdays (after completing "The Lady in Black") you'll be able to buy panties at the shop, but not from Annie...
- Added a new sidequest: "Classified Materials". This quest involves retrieving Laurel's stolen research papers from the Temple. It's given to you during The Crimson Katana, but if you've already finished that quest, it will be added to your quest tracker upon importing your save.
- Added a feature to learn more about the lore of Haremon. After completing the "Classified Materials" sidequest, you'll be able to find more of Laurel's research papers scattered throughout the various dungeons. You can read these from the Items menu, and each offers a short snippet of lore based on Laurel's research. You can then turn them in to Laurel for cash. There are currently 13 of these to find, but many more will be coming later.
- Increased all Haremon and monsters' max HP by approximately 2.5x, as well as all damage calculations. (This is intended to make the effects of damage boosts/reductions more noticeable.) As a result, healing items/moves have also been buffed.
- Guild Jobs now have a time limit, given in days. If you don't complete the quest in time, it'll expire, and you won't be able to complete it. You'll get a text from Scarlett telling you when a job has expired. By default, the time limit of all quests is 7 days.
- Changed the way E-cup patrons are honored in-game. Their names now comprise a list of the "citizens" of Dickenside, which is used in two places: first, they are used as questgivers at the Guild, appearing on the Job Board and the To-Do app. Second, they are used as the names of Professor Laurel's former lovers; speaking to her about the "Conquests" topic will let you choose a patron name and read a short diary entry about her sexual encounter with that person (each patron gets their own completely unique entry!)
+ Added a Kink subpage to the Haremon app, where you can view the kinks your Haremon have learned, along with their effects and Pleasure threshold
- Added a new resource: Passion Petals. These are a non-combat counterpart to Star Shards. You can obtain them by completing a battle without dealing ANY damage (by seducing enemies and asking them to leave). Unfortunately, I ran out of time this month to implement their usage, but that will come soon!
Minor additions, changes, and tweaks:
+ Added a "skip collection scenes" option to the Settings menu. If ON, this will skip the scene that happens when you land on a Gather tile (but still gives you an item)
+ Haremon can now move straight to any uncovered tile in the dungeon as long as there are uncovered tiles connecting it to her current tile.
+ Vex's "Hades Spear" attack is no longer an upgrade of Jab; instead, you can unlock it as a new move for 666 shards. Also, it now distributes its damage evenly among all remaining opponents (it deals 1.5x damage if there's 2 enemies, and 3x damage if there's only 1 enemy), to make it worth the massive Shard investment.
- Vex's Power has been raised from 2 to 3.
- Added a few new crafting recipes, including a few existing gifts, a new panties upgrade (Edible Panties) and a few "refined" crafting materials for crafting higher-end items. A new material called Platinum Ore can now be obtained (very rarely) by mining or opening high-level chests in the Caverns.
- Improved the appearance of QTE prompts and dungeon tiles.
- Changed the "one-handed mode" setting to "prompt mode". This setting now lets you choose between using your left hand (ZXCV) or your right hand (mouse or arrow keys) for QTEs, since using the arrow keys better mimics the directionality of the gamepad face buttons.
- Sped up Choice Spinners' begin and end animations, as well as the rate at which they speed up and slow down (not including when they're nudge-able)
- New condition: Sleep. This renders a girl/monster immobile (like Freeze), but gradually restores HP.
- New item: Hot Coffee. Cures Sleep.
- New item: Running Shorts (panties). Allows the wearer's party to escape from battle instantaneously.
- New item: Nightie (panties). Recover twice as much HP when Asleep.
- Removed the "Malign Magnetism" job from the Guild, as it's no longer completeable.
- Added audio jingles to guild quest popups
- Added a "setday" command to the debug console; use it with a parameter (e.g. "setday monday") to set the current day of the week
- Kira now starts with 50% Affection, since you're supposed to be lifelong friends.
+ You can now press Up at the top of a submenu in battle to go to the bottom, and vice-versa.
- Removed the ability to purchase the Mysterious Lens using NILE (because it voids the Affection gain)
- Added the "dialogue choices" tutorial (this was actually added in 0.15, but a bug prevented it from being displayed)
- Ever so slightly altered some early-game dialogue to make some lore more consistent
+ Heavily nerfed all enemies encountered before taming Circe
- Reminded Kira to wear her glasses.
- Made certain NPC texts occur automatically at certain points in the story.
- Certain quests now advance time to Evening instead of Night, to allow you another action that day.
- Fixed voucher tooltips
- Added a "Battle" page to the Settings menu
- Changes to debug commands: the "repel" debug command now works with the new encounter system, simply clearing all monsters from the board; the "town" debug command no longer locks the dungeon; the "setclothes" debug command now works on enemies
- Doubled the Affection gained from completing "large" dungeons (Path & Temple) [to 8]. Affection gained from dungeon completion is also now Fixed, meaning it's unaffected by Personality and other modifiers
- Tweaked the way success chance is boosted for Manipulation techniques that have previously failed, and tweaked the base success chance for a couple of them
- Lowered Scarlett's Speed and raised her Power
- Doubled the effect of the "Irresistible" kink
- Added flavor text when selecting a Stance in battle
- Flex now prevents multi-target moves from damaging anyone but the flexer. Similarly, Pacify now prevents multi-target moves from damaging the pacifier.
- Added a very rare, very dumb easter egg to the Oni enemy
- More effects are now displayed in the Status menu in battle. These include Flexing, Biding, and effects caused by Curses.
- Increased the extra money gained from manipulation and guild quests when under the Avarice curse
+ The Avarice curse no longer increases money gained by selling items, and the Shopping Spree no longer stacks with Annie's affection discount. These changes are necessary to prevent an exploit where you could make infinite money by selling items back to Annie for more than you spent on them
- Added a new item: Work Briefs. These panties increase the effects of all activities at the ranch.
+ Star Panties now affect Shards gained at the Ranch
- New debug command: "tomorrow" (instantly advances time to the next morning)
- Adjusted the value of many types of panties, to better reflect their usefulness. Also removed some panties from the possible prizes from the Prize Wheel.
- Added a new dialogue box type for displaying "notes" (diaries, signs, etc.)
- Raised the drop rate of Silver Vouchers in chests and Bronze Vouchers on Gather tiles. Also, you can now find Gold Vouchers in chests that have 2 or more stars.
- Clarabelle now starts off knowing Striptease instead of Gore.
