Hey everyone,
It's time to release the new 0.7.6 Alpha patch, and I have to say that this is my favorite patch in a long while. That is not to say that the new content feels super polished yet, but I really enjoy the new fantasies it introduces. And it was a humongous amount of work that I'm actually a little proud of.

I haven't had the easiest of months because of a health scare, but I'm on the way back up, and I really enjoyed making the new content.
However, we have an issue with the art pipeline. I still have not received all the artwork that I ordered at the beginning of February. I may be bad at being a team leader and pushing people to deliver everything on time because I'd rather get good work than forced results, but I've now spoken to the artist, and we think we've found a way to get better results.
And we have a plan to be able to introduce all of the missing art for this patch before the beta release so in some Alpha patches in the coming two weeks. If you want to follow the release of those, as always, they are on the Discord.

Without further ado, here are your download links:

And here's the HUGE changelog:
- New Himari Lifepath Finale with two new animated scenes
- New character KJ in the weekly game show (placeholder graphics)
- New Weekly Fashion Challenge Mechanic in the game shows
- New Boho clothes theme
- Replaced IQ with a score from 50-200 on the player AND contestants
- Daily IQ loss (starting after week 1)
- New Inhibitor item to prevent daily IQ loss
- Setting IQ at Character Creation
- New Stats Redistribution Mechanic during Character Creation
- Added IQ Bar to NPC Affection window
- Removed IQ from Ally DNA Mutation for now
- Introduced the Mind Goggles as a new item
- Replaced all mental syringes with Mind Goggle programs
- Replaced DUM+ with a MINDSHATTER program (will not be possible to obtain without a quest in the future)
- removed IQ attacks by NPCs
- rephrased all attacks for mind stats to use Mind Goggles
- changed several references to the old DUM+ syringe in other dialogs
- sexual activities will still only be possible if no Mindshatter program has been used on them (Non-consent is forbidden), but a lower IQ from the daily effect does not trigger this effect
- started reworking all dialogs to fit the new IQ system (new, more thorough changes will need to be introduced in one of the next patches)

Not yet working correctly, but will be until the beta release:
- Moderator Expression Art
- Stats UI rework is not working yet
- Some missing Boho clothes
- Social activity trapping may be moved to the next patch

I don't think I remember a changelog this long in the last 2-3 years, and I hope this gives you an idea of how deep the new systems go.

I'm really looking forward to the feedback and to polishing these new mechanics over the next few patches.
Until then, I wish you a happy weekend.

Best,
Kim
