Dev Notes

• It is traditional, in the wake of a major update, for us to release a bonus patch build as feedback comes in. And who am I to argue with tradition? Thank you to everyone who reported the various bugs and eccentricities in v440.

V440 Tweaks

• We have added a new content flag, ‘Fluid Physics’. This covers whether you want to see inflation, regurgitation, and other biological consequences of the large volumes of spooge you produce. It must be manually enabled in the Preferences menu.
• The ‘Infidelity’ flag has been separated out into two different flags: Sharing (when you encourage someone else’s interest) and Cuckoldry (when you do not have a clear say-so). Both inherit your setting for Infidelity by default.
• Choice menus have been improved so that menu options are better separated, and scrollbars placed further to the right. (Tosk)
• Scrollbars are simultaneously more obvious and less intrusive. Magic! (Amon Ra)
• If you rename a waifu then the game’s narration will use their new name, but other characters will not (to avoid voice acting issues).
• Consort ‘soothe’ scenes are activated the evening after experiencing a military loss, rather than randomly.
• Cooch’s scenes with Darja and Naho are now classified under the Sharing flag.
• Darja’s kobold fate scene is still accessible, but will be shortened, if you have Fluid Dynamics disabled.
• Darja can be renamed during her gallery entries.
• Darja’s infernal sacrifice has received updated visual direction, and sound direction.
• Heloise can be interrogated about the Pale Convocation during Malagar’s experiment.
• Volunteering test subjects to Malagar typically requires the Mutilation flag to be active, because you’re going to need it.
• Malagar’s experiment on Naho has had its stage direction improved.
• Malice’s supplemental dreams have had music added to them.
• Marie-Anne’s consort interactions have been expanded to reflect whether or not she has adopted a wolf.
• Marie-Anne’s consort interactions, captive intros, and animal talk have been expanded to reflect whether she has adopted a wolf.
• Marie-Anne’s stable oral art has been updated to use the new dragon dong design.
• Marie-Anne’s ‘Down Boy’ scene is now triggered by visiting the bath-house, before the wolf has been adopted.
• Extra tags have been added to ‘Down Boy’ so that Marie-Anne’s ‘Adoption’ scene references it in new playthroughs.
• Mina’s bandit scene is still accessible, but will be shortened, if you have Cuckoldry disabled.
• Mina will not make references to the aftermath of her semen enemas if you have Fluid Dynamics disabled. 
• Mina’s Kobold Fate tooltip has been rewritten to match the format of other fate tooltips.
• If you conquer the wildlands in Act IV, the victory ‘celebrations’ with Naho are animated.
• Narration in Naho’s lair faction scenes will reflect her new name, if you have given her one.
• Naho’s infernal fate (and followup) has had proper sound direction added.
• Sabetha and Inej are more expressive during their morning argument.
• If you ask Zizeryx about the wellbeing of your sacrifices, it will mention how Maelys is getting on (if appropriate).
• We have updated our RenPy framework to v8.0.2. This provides several stability improvements, but you should not otherwise notice a difference.
• We have found some extra efficiencies that will reduce the size of the Android build by 10%, without reducing quality.
• Several extra tags have been added around the game, to support upcoming conditional content.
• Game credits have been updated.
