A Prince's Tale v0.4.0 - Public release
Changelog
Prince body art has been updated with a brand new look!
You start the game with a masculine physique, but can transform your body to appear more androgynous by drinking Morgana's potion.
A feminine body option will be added later as a part of the princess story path.
The paperdoll system is now enabled for all art styles, not just the custom art style.
Added a character creation sequence to the game - you now have some options to change the Prince's looks to whatever you prefer!
To experience character creation you'll have to either restart the game or unlock the Magic Mirror artifact which lets you make changes at any moment.
The Bandit Camp has been expanded with new scenes centered around its mysterious leader, the Bandit Queen.
On your fourth visit to the bandits' party around the bonfire, the Bandit Queen emerges from her tent and challenges you to a wrestling match.
During this intense competition, the Bandit Queen's mask slips and you recognize her face...
Wrestling the Bandit Queen gains you access to the exclusive Red Pavilion, where the party gets even more intimate.
On your third visit to the Red Pavilion you confront the Bandit Queen about her true identity.
You can now go on a third date with Orson in which you help him out in the castle. Initiate the date by finding Orson in the library after completing your second date.
Rewrote Orson bath scenes. The intimate options now only appear after you start dating Orson.
If you chose to work at the brothel in the crossdressing path, you will now have access to a new promiscuous outfit to wear during your work.
New custom art added for when you catch Kathryn having fun by herself in the castle gardens.
Updated Sugarcube engine to the latest version.

I really like the new character creation, it's neat and efficient.
Oh this is lovely thank you :) will see how i get on.
Possible to play on i phone?
Yes, but only on Android, there's a .apk file attached to the post that you can download and run on your phone. Let me know if you have any issues!
Bug in wardrobe: Royal blue dress is missing hands. Additionally, unless you decide to put on the disguise and sneak out, you can't exit the wardrobe in Royal-to-Royal change.
Strange, I can't seem to replicate these bugs, would you be able to send me a save file where this issue occurs? You could send it to me on discord if that works
Contrasting opinion, I quite like the body changes and how they're more subtle and gradual, though if asset expansion is a fetish you're wanting to accommodate then some more significant changes might be in order. While it definitely appears less polished at first blush, I find the art style you've chosen charming and cute, and I think it does suit the story. I can't wait to see how this project develops.
Feel like I just want to say this, glad you kept the Ai art but I still really dislike the paper doll. I doubt anyone here is opposed to a paper doll, but the model itself is...unfinished I think is the best word to describe it. The body proportions from masculine, androgynous, and feminine are almost no different if you don't look at the hair or breasts. Arms, hips and legs remain the same size for basically all versions except for the arms getting slightly skinnier and shoulder a tiny bit narrower. The face is also uncanny; it doesn't look either realistic or cartoony and doesn't fit with the rest of the art styles you have gotten us used to. Personally, if you are paying someone for the assets, I feel you would be better off not investing in it and either changing the style/artist or going back to the Ai. Because while I am happy that we can switch it to Ai, I feel like a lot of the issues we have with the paperdoll are not with the idea of a paperdoll but with the style you've chosen. I don't want to sound unappreciative or rude, but it doesn't look impressive and knowing that development time will be spent towards it is really disheartening when I know the potential of a better style. A good example of a style that would fit your game is Court Magician, or something where the characters look "medieval/fantasy" in style, even without the outfits.
my issues with paper doll isn't so much style as how extremely more conservative it is compared to Fantasy AI or pixel lines. it's like everything is one full iteration back. The first potion does not count. The first major step with the potion makes a difference in the old lines and next to none in the new. Hair does not change at all. And at the point where you get the secret second training skillset and are 3/4ths through the femininity scale technically - on paper doll you are not even andro. and you still have initial hairstyle pre-potion.
