April - Tales of Androgyny v0.1.30.0!
New month, new monthly build!
How is it April already?! Well, there's a new monthly build, so that works out just fine. Like last month, the monthly is capital V very capital B big, and like last month, it definitely looks like we're at the end of the current roadmap, which means a new roadmap will be debuting sometime this month, and that we'll be moving into project phase Alpha, which is craaaazyyyyy.
To give you an idea of what big items remain on the current roadmap: Dungeons, Stealth, Camping Improvements, Town/Shop Improvements.
The battle UI overhaul will probably be the first thing on the new roadmap. A lot of stuff needs fleshing out in the existing encounters, like willpower, lust (and with that the long-awaited slut variants: a slut knight rises), knowledge, and femininity checks, ambushes, battle uniqueness, and of course more art and animations. As we move into Alpha, we'll see a greater focus on that kind of vertical improvement. As you can see by the below changelog, our current focus has been on adding new features, both gameplay mechanics and UI and navigation elements.
You'll see a bunch of new combat additions below, and you might be wondering "why bother with the combat, isn't this a porn game?" Well, don't! Doesn't that feel nice? It does, doesn't it? You feel like a weight has lifted off your shoulders. I'm going to count backwards from 5, and you will feel all of your worries melting away... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... there we go.
(we should have added Hypnosis sooner - this is good stuff)
