Quick Progress Update and Changelog

Heyo!  We're just about finished up with new features and content for the monthly build (v0.1.28.0) - all that's left is the grapple indicator.  Once we've wrapped that up, it'll just be bug fixes and tweaks for this update, and otherwise we're working on the new stuff - mainly the Mermaid art and encounter and the Naga Anal art, which were the winners of this month's surveys - more about that later!

This month has been huge progress-wise - definitely our biggest yet, now that Maj is fulltime.  And since Maj was catching up on stories (new Raquel and Jewel chapters, for those that missed it!), that means even more time next month for ToA.  Since Maj took on more of the day to day tasks, Alis has also had more time for art, and you'll see a bit of that in this update, and even moreso next month, as she's had more time to work on other ToA, new assets, and to take the time to improve each piece, as well as reduce the size of her backlog... so February should be even better.

The changelog's below, and we'll also be putting up the next iteration of the roadmap, which is looking better and better by the day.

Wish Patreon's unordered list formatting was a little more robust.  Ah well - hopefully this is readable.  Changelog ahoy!

Version 0.1.28.0 - "New Dawn" update

New features:

• Arousal received a major update

Different enemies now have different fetishes and are aroused accordingly

Lust is now separate from arousal, and is a percentage, building up over time and only reduced by cumming - affects combat strength and impacts encounter branches for high or max lust - lust is visible on Character screen

Lust effects enemy behavior - e.g. Trudy will submit if you seduce him right

Fixed receptive anal not causing arousal without Weak to Anal perk (Weak to Anal still doubles said arousal)

The player character's fetishes change accordingly with the various perks, causing additional arousal and higher lust reduction from orgasm

Seduction techniques arouse someone based on their type - seducing someone (or arousing oneself) by appealing to a desire to be topped or bottomed anally or orally, for instance

Ejaculating now reduces stamina by a large amount

• Added feminized portraits (need very high Cock Lover perk)

• Can now hire girls in the brothel

• Can now move to distant areas on world map by clicking on them - projected path is displayed on hover/touch

• Major overhaul of skill/perk/magic selection interface

Now displays what the maximum level of a skill/perk/spell is

Displays all skills a character can use, even if they aren't upgradeable

 New content:
