*Tennis:
Playing 2, 4, 8, & 12 tennis matches will provide you with a mild bonus to help win future Tennis games, in addition to the Athletic trait bonus. A tip explaining this bonus has also been added for first-time court visits.
*Saving:
Should now work as expected
Saves have been increased from 5 slots to infinite slots
Old saves should still be compatible, and all old saves from history will show (unless cookies are cleared)
*Infest changes:
Infesting now prevents that NPC's arousal from ever being below 4
Infesting an NPC more than once is no longer possible
Parasite effectiveness on NPCs above 4 arousal has been reduced
*Flirting, Gifting, and Groping actions are no longer available once an NPC is already willing to have sex (Arousal 4 or higher)
*Reduced the overall effectiveness of gifts when the target NPC is already willing to have sex (Arousal 4 or higher)
*Standardized Infest stat changes
*Groping changes:
Now consistently grants +1 Arousal
The amount of IQ points it reduces has been increased
The overall suspicion caused by groping has been increased (and will vary depending on how aroused the NPC already is, I.e. more arousal = smaller suspicion hit)
*Reformatted the NPC UI
*When starting a new day, you will now be warned when your Academia score is too low
*Staff not eating every day in the cafeteria now applies whether your spike food on your own or with Harriet's help
*Giving gifts should now reflect the correct change in arousal for each character
*Increased the transition speeds of New Day texts, saving roughly a couple of seconds of waiting each day
*Fixed an error where Melissa's stats would not exist when loading an existing game that was created before 0.76 (before Melissa was added to the game). For pre-076 savegames where Melissa already exists, a new savegame is recommended to properly display her stats.
*Fullscreen Effects is now only available in Dev mode, indefinitely
*Restored dorm husk varieties (UW is now mostly older students again, Waite is now all girls again, etc.)
*Changed some of the general placeholder NPC dialogue to be more immersive
*Navigation to the Tennis Courts was mistakenly located in the Upper Campus, even though the courts were actually located in Lower Campus. The navigation has been fixed.
*Fixed issue where genitalia length could show excess numbers behind girth in the sidebar
*Bedroom edging event now has a slightly smaller chance to happen
*Maya is no longer a broodmother by default whenever you skip the intro
*Negative IQ is no longer possible
*Fixed the library portion of Madison's quest
-Removed XP rewards for creating 10 and 30 husks. XP reward for 20 husks still remains.
-Removed two face options from the character customizer
Plus, some more new images have been added to the gallery. Here are a couple!
