Dev Notes

• This is our final interim release on the approach to major update v5.1.0 - currently on course to be completed at the end of this month.
• Darja is the latest beneficiary of Amon Ra’s animation magic. Now you can go spelunking down that dragon hole in glorious full motion, across three different variations!
• MVP of this build is our codesetter, GerdGenus, who has produced an extraordinary amount of work for both this build and our coming major update. Thanks, also, to Mokkel and Stuke, whose tireless sound engineering has allowed us to add ever-more voice acting to the game.

Tweaks

• Darja’s scene with Maelys can be accessed in Act V, although we currently lack dedicated art for if Darja is pregnant during it.
• Maelys’s cell will be more consistently dark if she is despairing or severed.
• Maelys’s history of threesomes will be remembered as they happen, to reference in future events.
• Tormenting severed Maelys will be remembered, and referenced in other dialogue.
• Naho’s statue, if you have one, is now proudly on display in the Act V palace hallways.
• Sabetha and Inej’s arrival events are now in the main lair event queue as well as the sleep queue. This will make them trigger more reliably, and they can now do so during Act IV.
• Valzira’s pregnant scenes will mark where dedicated art is expected to arrive soon.
• Scene direction for Valzira’s egg-laying scene has been improved to make best use of the greater variety of CGs available.
• The proteans will be clearer about who they want as their priestess when you first meet them.
• The Realm map is more saturated when you mouse over a territory, to help you identify targets.
• The Gallery entry for Heloise’s palace scene will feature her additional new image set.
• The Gallery entries for Naho’s Act V scenes will allow you to take the new routes within those scenes.
• The Gallery entry for Valzira’s egg-laying scene uses the new art for its thumbnail.
• The Gallery entry for Valzira’s egg-laying scene will ask you whether you would like to see the normal or nuggie edition.
• Returning to your lair’s main menu will fade out all voices and goopy sound effects currently in progress.
• The ‘Bring Your Daughter To Work Day’ achievement now has unique art.

Fixes

• Attacking Pale Rock immediately in Act IV will not prevent your daughter from being born.
• A miscoded voice line in Adeline’s Act V dialogue has been corrected.
• Being honest to Darja will no longer cause sex sounds in her Handmaiden scene to continue indefinitely.
• Hector will not turn invisible after swearing his oath of allegiance.
• Seeing Heloise’s dream will not reset the dreams you have seen previously.
• Visiting Maelys in her despairing or severed state will not cause repeated transitions to occur.
• Malagar should be correctly inaccessible in Act V if you load an old save in which you have not empowered him.
• Mother failing to conquer the swamp will not cause the Hundred Companies to lose Morale in sympathy.
• Valzira should actually be available to visit in Act V, now, if you have broken her.
• Valzira’s pregnant broken captive scene will display a cleaner floor in its first image.
• Valzira’s pained and smug emotes for her broken state are appearing correctly.
• Mokkel appears in the game credits again, as they (very) deservedly should. Sorry, Mokkel!
