🎉 MindWare Version 0.3.8 (Release Candidate)

Hey everyone!

Last time I said I wanted to push the latex maid side quest further. That's most of what this version is.

Once HiveClean has been cleaning your place enough times, a new checkbox shows up on the Hive Properties booking site, and the maid starts turning up for appointments that include a complimentary service. Two such visits are now implemented. Finishing one unlocks it as a replay (available when there's no new unique content to experience).

There's also a new incremental update option in the Downloads hub (link below). If you have the Beta 3 build, the incremental update brings you up to date with only the files that actually changed, which is about 56 MB instead of the full 3.4 GB.

Like always, I've done my best to fix reported bugs. The saved-porn lingerie picker was rendering its images at full size and shoving them off the edge of the passage. That's sorted. The end-of-content notice used to read as though the whole game had ended when you'd only run out of road on one storyline, so it now says what it actually means.

Release candidate, so please tell me if you hit anything broken.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed: Saved-porn lingerie choices no longer expand into oversized images or overflow the passage.

What's Next:

I'm having a lot of fun with the latex maid content and I've got much more planned for it, so I might give it another week or two. What I'm working towards is the point where the main character gets the chance to earn some side income as a maid. Once that's in, it'll definitely be time to switch gears and work on something else.

Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy the update!
