v0.1.55 is now LIVE for Avatar & Ascended Patrons!

Hey Guys,

Firstly we want to address the simultaneous release of this update for both Avatar and Ascended Tiers; until now we've struggled to decide on a fair system that allows Ascended early access to content without leaving Avatar players stuck in a game version riddled with already fixed bugs. To this end we've turned the delivery schedule on its head, henceforth the first update each month will be available for all game-access tiers (Avatar+), with the second update being Ascended exclusive. This also makes it easier for us to create content and results in fewer issues to fix, as we're not maintaining two distinct versions of the game at any one time but ensuring exclusive content is still available to our Ascended patrons. We will also be making more use of the Ascended Discord channel and holding some Ascended-only content polls.

In addition to all the content which is new for Avatar patrons, we've also added a second 'big' member to the lineup of genital options (dragon-horse hybrid), a range of more detailed headwear options for feline players, and three new full-body skins (a lot more people voted in that speed-poll and we thought it only fair to reward that engagement!). 

So with all of the previously exclusive content now unlocked this is a big month for Avatar players, what about Ascended patrons? Well the month is somewhat stacked towards the second update, with so much of the vote going to your favourite unrideable horse friend from the Sabu docks. For starters we've overhauled the centaur body, armour and "equipment" for the new scene, the previous model was always a placeholder and, whilst he looked tall and mysterious, he lacked the attention to detail and design consistency that we aim for. In the image below you can see his new model (sans helmet) bearing the scars of captivity and soon ready to unleash his lust on the player.

Finally we also have some Female-on-Female scenes coming this month, for those players who enjoy their encounters to be soft, sensual, and devoid of penises. So overall it's a packed month for all tiers and, as usual, there will be more polls incoming to help decide the finer points of the March updates.

If you don't know where to find the game, you can download the launcher here.

Thanks again for all your support, it really does mean the world to us.
