Monster Girl Tavern - v0.4.1a Release

Monster Girl Tavern v0.4.1 is a chunky update focused on expanding the mid-to-late game, giving some much-needed love to Xion, and the weirder corners of the world.

Xion’s cocktails now has a Tier 2, bringing in the game's most unique ero scene and Potion Brewing. Potions are powerful temporary buffs. The cave siren, Loralei and her healing baths have arrived, just encounter her as a VIP and she'll show up on the town gate map. Titania’s challenges have arrived too, giving those crazy late game players with one trillion gold something to do and rewards to make it worth it.

Meal Prep has received another round of improvements. The HUD and preferences have also been improved, with new options for quick menu behavior and scalable UI. New Blessing loadouts, expanded advertising, updated Ambrosia UI, new waterfall cave map, lots of bug fixes, and a whole lot of balancing and quality-of-life polish.

Putting it like this, I can see why v0.4.1 felt like such a large update, even though it only has four scenes. Coming next: more Alraune, Jessie, Glorp, Xion, and the continued march toward increasingly ridiculous tavern profits.
