Vaasrefs comments:

The changes made in the version 0.40.0 were massive.

They affected almost the entirety of the gameplay and while it cost a huge amount of work we really hope it was worth it and that it will significantly improve the general experience of the players.

I was lucky enough to be able to work pretty much full-time on this update for a few weeks and the most tricky part was to not overload Jan with a mountain of TODOs, well, I tried …

Anyway, that allowed me to make some gameplay changes I was planning since quite a few months already as well as including a number of save-breaking changes that were already done for a while and that were on the backburner.

We are very interested to know what you think about this version.

One of the reasons we are late is that I am quality procrastinator.

In the last few days I kept adding little, and not-so-little, things on the TODO list. While it increases the overall quality over time it adds up and we end up with a lot of little changes.

-Vaasref

V 0.39.1:
Fixing Harley's anal sex scene.
Light fixing some error that can be encountered with corrupted saves.
Fixing an issue in the tutoring menu.
V 0.39.0:

SPOILER
There were 52 images rendered for a total of six new scenes and eight new phone encounters.
All of those scenes are at Harley's 3rd Tier and are listed below.
Harley's scenes:
A new "chill" scene. It nets affection and it should alternate between four different images.
She also has a brand new spanking scene.
Piv doggy scene, where she's strapped to a bench.
A wandplay scene which has two different endings
What would an update from me be, without a butt stuff scene? This time it involves her and a buttplug.
She also has a new Bj scene with two different endings as well.
Harley's selfies:
There are a total of 8 new selfies you can recieve from Harley.
If you inspect her, then she sends you a text.
Spend enough time with her just chilling to raise affection and she will text you.
Do the spanking scene for the next image.
Do the wandplay action and then end by denying her orgasm and she will send you a text. You'll then get two choices which will lead to two different images. Repeat for the other image.
Play with her on the fuck machine for another text.
Plug her butt for the last text.
Additional changes:
Improved readability of character SMS with lighter colors.

V 0.38.0:
Reworked the intro:​

We redid the intro to better fill in maybe some blanks and provide a much needed background for the character.
Main story:​

For the main story to trigger you do need to have finished dealing with both Howard and Greg for Kara as well as visiting her at her house (the pool part, specifically.).
It's then triggered by meeting an person from your past at the school and from there on it should be pretty much straightforward.
Chrystal's slutty ending:​

So we did manage to get one of Chrystal's endings made and implemented and this ending is the outcome of maxing her sluttiness.
If you're having troubles with maxing her sluttiness you could always put her to work at the strip club.
That ending is not really something that's tied to the main story, but more like a side ending or a closure for her character.
Other:​

Adding a toggle switch in the Preferences to activate the console.
Sorting the travel menu by name.
Adding a blink to the Dean's Office travel option when Kara is available for meeting up.
Removing the Gym from the travel menu when it's closed.
Fixing an issue making the phone icon and Kara's contact entry blink.
Fixing an issue preventing Chrystal from texting the MC after the second study session.
Fixing the issue with skipping deactivating for good.
Polishing the halting when skipping to notify the available SMS event.
Fixed a potential issue preventing SMS events to trigger (including the one needed in the story).
Added a little increase in the sluttiness of the girl working at the stripclub.
Added a cap to the money a girl can make at the stripclub.
Fixing an issue with SMS notifications appearing multiple times.
Added an adaptive outline to text over colored background to improve readability.
Known bugs:​

The notifications can sometime appear a second time
The notifications can also have a weird behavior when it comes to rollback

V 0.37.4:
Corrected the incoherence around the chain of event unlocking Luna
Improved feedback when hovering buttons
Made the travel menu appear when hovered
Optimized SMS display
Made the Lab Office accessible without having to pass by the Lab first
Fixed a bug making the contact list window too small
We weren't able to add everything that we wanted into this version, for example we had to leave out a still in development system which will add onto Yuki at her pet stage.

V 0.37.1 Changelog:

Fixed bug with Kara's first injection.
We weren't able to add everything that we wanted into this version, for example we had to leave out a still in development system which will add onto Yuki at her pet stage.

But rest assured I will talk about that feature at a later time and we will surely add that system as soon as it's finished.

Most of all I'd like to really thank you guys for your ongoing support and especially your patience this past month.

V 0.37.0 Changelog:

64 images were rendered for this update.
Yuki's content is from this version forward now split between her either wearing the tail plug and engaging in puppy play or her normal, submissive self.
Yuki's content:

I reworked the old put her tail in scene, adding a lot more dialogue in the process. So after you play that scene Yuki will switch to her pet role, making those scenes available.
Yuki now has a long awaited scene where she puts her enhanced chest to good use.
Last but not least, a new doggystyle scene.
Yuki's pet play content:

I added a lot more of scenes for her pet playing role, plus I reworked the old tail out scene. That will revert her to her normal self.
You can now walk and feed her which are two separate scenes.
Reward her with a treat or punish her are also two separate scenes.
While in her pet role, she's allowed to hump things which I made a scene of.

Added blinking avatar in the list of SMS discussion when an event is available
Added a hard pause when the MC is thinking about contacting a girl via SMS

V 0.36.0:
73 new images rendered for this update, and even though some of the images are reworks of scenes that were already in the game, I did make sure to carefully go through each and every one of them to bring them up to my current standard of artwork.
Chrystal now has 8 new scenes at her top tier and I will list them right below.
I think it also goes without saying that in reworking the images I felt I also had to rewrite the dialogue for those scenes, so going through those scenes should be a completely different experience.
Some typo corrections.
Fixed the bug preventing a softlock on Harley's last injection.
Chrystal's content:
After Chrystal's injection you can now inspect her changes, making comments through the examination.
Three new scenes where the Mc's coaches her through different tasks that deal with her new found love for exhibitionism and objectification.

I rendered 54 new pictures in this update and that's not counting the portrait pics. So there's definitely a lot of new stuff to look at.

V 0.30.0 Changelog:
So this update is probably the biggest in regards to behind the scenes work, even though I tried my best to put as many scenes as I could it doesn't really compare to the amount of work my coder put in to this update.
Seeing as Vaasref rewrote all of the code, and reworked all of the game's systems that is the main reason for this version bump.
Now this time, and probably also going forward, I'll try to split the changelog into scenes and other visible content, and then the inner workings and changes in code.
Let's start with the former:

New location:

The stripclub, where the girls can be set to work, netting you a passive income each night. You'll also be able to watch the girls perform and in this update you can get a private dance from one of them.

New Character:

Alexey, who is the owner of the stripclub. You'll have to talk to him in order to unlock the features of the club.

New scenes:

Chrystal's performance and her private dancing.
Lola's show
Kara's dancing
Harley's performance
Yuki's dancing


Changes

- Correcting various typos
- Rewriting the game logic hopefully dealing with the bugs
- Laying the foundation for better, deeper and more connected storylines
- Tweaking "tutoring" difficulty
- Implementing the first drafts of coming GUI
- Compressing images from now on


Note from Vaasref

Due to the nature of the work on the backend of the game and my recent arrival on this project things didn't have time to settle down yet.
What that mean for you is that for the next few updates your saves will probably not work from a version to the next. And while I'll try to keep my naming OCD in check to avoid unnecessary save breaking, as the game currently undergo massive backend changes and save breaking will be mandatory until I finished pumping out all sorts of new functionalities for Jan the spider to go crazy with.
