Heidi’s first event.
Emelia special event.
Around 21,500 words of story.
Around 2,500 lines of scripting.
New feature – messaging system in notebook accessible from the main hub page after Emelia’s new event. Only one set of messages in it currently.
70 sprites and static images of Heidi.

Corrected some continuity and spelling issues throughout the game.
Edited the home hub background image so that the dagger on the table is the one Emelia gave the MC.
Corrected some unforgivable sartorial mistakes with the MC’s new suit, Vivian should be ashamed of herself. There are a few for his suit in this update that I didn’t have time to edit out, but will get around to it…
Updated the menu background showreels, replaced some animations, added some new ones and added in some featured in the game.
v0.49
Reworked Zara’s sprites and animations from the prologue and Chapter 1.
Reworked Heidi’s sprites and animations from the prologue and Chapter 1.
Reworked a couple of Alice’s new sprites in the prologue, as the facial structure was slightly off.
Reworked, added to and replaced animations from Emelia’s sex scenes in the 2nd Cartographer’s Guild mission and her second character event. There’s still a few more to replace, but the sex scenes are now more dynamic and longer in action.
Reworked all the animations to reduce filesize, knocking about 1gb off the file size since 0.47 came out, despite all the extra sprites and animations that have gone in with this update.
Fixed some spelling issues in the 0.48 content.

Added 4 new codex entries
Added a trans/futa content toggle to the MC’s character profile sheet as the codex entries contain the first content of this type.

Fixed the new, thicker bolded text outline not properly applying to speech.
Adjusted the image quality of most of the game image assets.
Adjusted the image quality of the intro movie assets.
The adjustments have resulted in a reduction in filesize of around 300mb, despite all the new assets from this update going in. I have still to go through and do the same thing with all of the game animations to get the filesize down further.

Added in 5 second fade-to-blacks at the end of each event, as a clearer indicator that the event is ending.
Updated the hub screen so that if there is no content available, the contracts or character events buttons will be greyed out, rather than just not being there at all.

Migrated all character information screens to new format.
Re-wrote most character bios.
Added in video galleries for the MC, Emelia and Alice – these are unlocked at the end of their respective events in this update.
Tidied up some of the stat tracking logic.
Checked all the score/maxscore logic to make sure it fires in the right order and at the right time.
Finished overhauling the end of content segment – it will now take you to the hub screen, the info and patreon screen is now a link in the hub.
v0.35
Added Alice’s first event.
Added Emelia’s second event.
Overhauled Vivian’s scene in Chapter 1.
Added a metaphysics codex entry.
Updated the codex screen – clicking one option will now close any other open option and added a darkened background to the text box to make it easier to read.
Rebuilt the end of content process so that it will open up the hub screen automatically.
Hub screen has been changed so that if there are any character or mission events available, the icons will be slowly pulsing. If there aren’t, the icons won’t be there at all.
Updated the stat change notifications to include a total score as well – this is still a little buggy because it now matters what order I scripted the update to the maxscore and actual score in at each choice. If I wrote for the game to update the maxscore after the actual score was updated, it won’t reflect that in this notification. I will be going through all the choices and making sure they are in the right order over the next week. The stats are correct in the background.
Migrated the MC’s character profile screen to the new format. It will now show (your player name) Sinclair, rather than just “You”.
Added stat tracking to the player character screen.
Fixed some bugs related to maxscore stat tracking – unfortunately now that the game has moved out of it’s linear progression portion, I can’t fix the incorrect max score stats on existing saves – sorry. I thought this would be a nice little feature that was easy to implement, but I have totally ballsed it up. It should™ now all be correct on a new save.
Fixed a bug in the prologue causing a soft crash.
Fixed a few errant spelling and grammar mistakes.
Fixed a bug with Saga’s character and gallery screens not working as intended.
Removed about 15-20 extra backgrounds that were never used to reduce file size.
Added more animations that are used in the game to the menu screen background player.
v0.3
Added the 2nd Cartographer’s Guild mission.
Fixed a crash related to skipping Isabella’s romance content.
Fixed the max score counter for aberrant gnosis, Emelia, Lilly and Sarah being too high.
Added a correction in to make sure that the max score is set correctly for existing saves.
Updated the character galleries – added in character sheets and galleries for Saga, Felsia, Xanthe and Kaisa. These will unlock once you complete the missions that you encounter them in game. I also adjusted the position of the buttons to access character sheets for non-romanceable characters to the bottom row.
For these characters I created a new version of the character sheet, one that can I can easily update to add in lore and info, whereas previously the character sheets were all fixed images that I could not really update unless I edited and replaced the image. All the old characters are using the old format still, I intend to migrate them for 0.35.
Added in an explanation of the alignment system to the codex screen.
Fixed a few spelling and grammar errors.
The update stats are:
Approx 12500 words of story.
Approx 2200 lines of scripting.
56 sprites, 1 fixed image and 42 animations (approx 11.5 minutes) of Emelia added.

v0.21
Re-worked the gallery as I didn’t realise that the first time you went into the gallery, it fixed all the images forever. Should now dynamically update as you progress.
Fixed a video not playing in one of the camp scenes.
It turns out it was 6 new animations for Isabella, I had added two versions of the same scene and set it to the wrong version. Now plays the right video.
Fixed a few spelling and name issues.
