1 expression element replaced with new version
Added new stuff to bending down interactive h-scene:
1 new outfit + 1 new outfit options
3 variations to new outfit option
new facial expression - Ari winces when the ruler or wax candle tool are used.
Technically, there are two new quests, but they're just very small pointers to scenes.
Total word count: from to 34,124 to 47,999 (holy shit)
Bugfixes:
General editorializing (fixing typos, messy sentences, etc.)
Fixed issue where tool tutorials in interactive h-scenes would not show animations.

Loading issue: When loading a game that was saved in the middle of an h-scene in v.0.10, the Renpy error screen is shown. The workaround to this is to just click on "rollback" to return to a point just before the interactive h-scene image is shown.

Content:
Can now advance to ⛓ level 4
Added 3 new scenes.
Added 3 more traditional CG-s for a new scene.

1 new moveable clothing item: shirt (2 positions)
1 new position for chestwrap clothing item (off)
2-and-a-half new rubbable regions: thigh, side (the '-and-a-half' part bc the side region works slightly differently with Ari's shirt on)
2 new spankable regions: left/right thigh

new facial expression - Ari winces when the ruler or wax candle tool are used.
Technically, there are two new quests, but they're just very small pointers to scenes.

Bugfixes:
General editorializing (fixing typos, messy sentence)
Fixed visual glitch when using rub tool on area reddened by ruler.
Fixed issue causing tool tutorial animations to get stuck on first frame
Internal:
A bizarrely specific change: dialogue now advances on mousedown, not renpy's default mouseup. This fixes some interactive-scene-to-dialogue transitions where the key might be held.
Known issues:
Visual glitch:in some situations, returning to h-scene from dialogue, text notifications (eg. "*Rub!*") may be stuck on the screen until replaced

v.0.9.5:
Bugfixes:
- Fixed major bug/crash that was revealed by 0.9.3 and somehow still slipped into v.0.9.4
- Fixed issue: sometimes wrong scene would play when reaches + ⚖
- Small editorial fixes (stuff like typos and grammar and lines I wasn't happy with)

Known issues:
- The tool tutorial animations are stuck on the first frame. This is already fixed in the v.0.10 beta

v.0.9.4
Bugfixes:
- Fixed major bug/crash that was revealed by 0.9.3

Known issues:
- The tool tutorial animations are stuck on the first frame. This is already fixed in the v.0.10 beta

v.0.9.3
Bugfixes:
- Fixed major bug that caused players to get stuck when starting ♥ path after finishing ⛓ path.
- Implemented a feature to unstick players who had savegames already affected by above bug.

v.0.9.2
Bugfixes:
- Fixed issue where max bang interjection would not show up
- Fixed issue where it was possible to have 'Of Magics and Mountain Copper" start twice
- Tried to fix issue where people had an image file that renpy could not find, but I'm kind of flying blind on that one
- Removed ~20mb from the ~80mb download that was caused by me not correctly understanding how to tell Renpy to ignore files when building the distro

v.0.9.1
Changes:
- Skipping intro gives 4 of either fragment instead of 3
- If Ari has Daily Task rule active without Help With Paperwork rule, player is prompted about whether to ask Ari for help when doing paperwork

Bugfixes:
- Hopefully resolved 'maximum recursion depth exceeded' error that showed up when saving/loading
- Upgrades no longer have crosstalk issues between savegames
- Important typo in chains quest description fixed ("raise :ari_bang: to 3" -> "raise :ari_bang: to 4")
- Fixed an issue with the bottom quick menu disappearing during spank scenes and never returning
- Disabled the quick menu during interactive h-scenes - it can cause issues and I should have done this long ago
- Disabled rollforward during interactive h-scenes until I find a fix for why some variables aren't correctly changed when rolling forward
- Fixed visual glitch where the ruler was sometimes still shown during h-scene interjection scenes
- Fixed issue where Ari's Temperament wasn't changing properly on levelup
- Fixed Linux issues caused by renpy.get_mouse_pos() returning float in Linux (thanks, Sep, for including the exact line causing the issue and also a fix with your bug report :D)
- Fixed issue where the Thaumaturgy Cabinet menu buttons were accessible even if the Upgrades menu was open
- Fixed issue where spank scene max bang interjections weren't firing correctly
- Fixed some issues with incorrect heart path scenes firing after end-of-content
- Candle upgrade should now always appear when reaching chains level 2
- Small editorial fixes (typos and grammar and sentence structure and stuff. Thanks for the help on that, HeavyEavy)

Known issues:
- there's a small visual glitch when rubbing areas that have been spanked red

v.0.9
tl;dr:
- Mechanically, the daily loop is almost completely different
- Content ends at about the same point
- Something like 30% of the dialogue until end-of-content is rewritten to some extent
- I recommend playing through the intro again - it has fewer changes than elsewhere, but still
(Renpy's skipping system *should* be working fine during the intro so you can skip the stuff you've seen)
Content:
- All of the content is now accessible through all paths.
- The ⛓ and ♥ paths are now trying to move towards slightly different goals - ♥ is about Ari being pleasured, ⛓ is about Ari pleasuring Frim
- the different paths are now also trying to give Ari *slightly* different motivations so
- There are a few extra Temperaments (eg. - Ari is horny af) and a bunch of places where that causes a variation in the scene
- There's some completely new dialogue scenes added inbetween existing stuff, eg:
- The pacing of how Ari becomes friendly is a lot smoother (but not actually slower, just... I wrote it better this time)
- Frim is less *unnecessarily* mean - I feel like I really wasn't considering sub-y players enough and failed to make Frim an attractive dom (tho I guess tastes vary)
- Some new rules and repeatable daily actions (demanding Ari show her panties is now a daily event)
- Tiny tutorial animations for the tools in interactive h-scenes! *Way* too many people were having trouble with them to not fix this.
Changes:
- *HEAVILY* changed how the mechanics of the daily loop work:
- It's more-or-less rebuilt from the ground up. Any similarities with v.0.8 are more happenstance than things purposefully left in.
- Explaining all of the changes is basically like trying to form an exhaustive feature list, which is nah dawg, I'm not doing that
- Heavily changed the basic progress path (including quests) that the player goes through and how all of the scenes are accessed.
- The number of quests changed from 3 to 7, of which only the intro remains with the same name and progression as before
- Cut *a lot* of existing dialogue/text, focusing on two areas:
- Any text that's repeated a lot is shorter (eg. paperwork infraction dialogue went from 14 lines to 8)
- What used to be the quest A Gentle Touch was heavily gutted because:
- it was a severe problem with the pacing of how Ari becomes friendly
- the ⛓ path was giving Ari the same reasons to give in as the ♥ path, this was replaced for v.0.9 so the paths work better in parallel
Internal:
- removed a lot of spaghetti code
- added a lot of spaghetti code
Known issues:
- there's a small visual glitch when rubbing areas that have been spanked red
- sometimes there's a visual glitch that leaves the ruler visible when the ruler tool is disabled
- rollback and rollforward during interactive h-scenes can cause issues (I'm having a devil of a time fighting this)
- the backend has a massive amount of dead code that was left in due to crunch. I absolutely do not recommend looking at it.
