November is already over, what a quick month that was! Let's have a look at what's new! Overall the focus was on preparing for the next chapter segment and continuin the corruption story line. In terms of Roya content, there isn't any significant new playable content. Summarizing the changes, we have 1 new H-CG, 6 new Corruption Scenes, 2 new lewd scenes and 2 new mental changes. Even though we don't have new gameplay areas, slime players get to have some new toys in the form of level 7 slime spells, some of them completely new. So, let's get into a summary of this update. For a detailed look, I recommend reading the weekly devlog posts.
In Roya, we mostly have some world state updates with NPC reactions to various things: The traders from Mountainreach arriving, Matthias and Mira doing something useful in the Adventurer Guild, the worshippers in the Underground reacting to James' death, a poor bookkeeper in the Boar Hut receiving a bad fate if Hermann gets elected, and a couple other things. Otherwise, there are two new under construction areas, not much to see here, except for the scripted logic for the areas.
Besides these, the main two content additions are on the lewd side in the form of the 2 John sex scenes. The first one is a full scene, the second one the shorter repeat variation. You can check out the recollection crystal for the exact trigger conditions. Though, having Aura lose her virginity to John might be a bit tough since he has a Lewdness 35 check but unlike the Drug Dealer and Hermann there aren't any additional minimum lewdness reductions besides the usual ones (Cursed state and mental changes).
*Drags John into the bed*
Having taken a look at the new Roya content, let's switch back to the real world! Once you have taken the new mental changes in the Happiness Room to make Aura more comfortable with Injustice and more zealous about punishing Uglyness, you can continue the storyline of Alicia corrupting Aura into a mean bully like character. There are a total of 3 new scenes focusing on this. Lunchbreak 8 and Library Club 8 were two scenes I had been meaning to write for a long time and I'm happy it came together nicely with all the buildup.
Furthermore, the story also continues the Rose and Richard event scenes with another 3 scenes, where some further developments happen, and Rose gets to shine for a bit --- although I am afraid she is just kind of outclassed here... With the current state, we have now all the necessary ingredients to go for the Richard and Rose sex scene.
Besides these content additions we also have the usual bunch of minor stuff. Your battle menu has been a bit decluttered by hiding unusable skills, costumes are reflected in the main and status menu, there have been some minor CG consistency improvements and of course bunches upon bunches of bug fixes.
On the CG side, we have the kissing CG for Sexy Times With George 1. On Monday I prepared the brief for Sexy Times With George 2 (Handjob) which currently reached the sketching state.
Those who have read the project plan, you have seen that originally the plan for Week 4 was to include the first iteration of the Verdeaux map. However, as I feared last week, my mapper has remained unresponsive, so this didn't make it in. I will start searching for a new mapper tomorrow. On the bright side, this allowed me to have enough time to write the three Rose Seduced by Richard scenes, instead of only the one I had originally planned for this update.
On the technical menu side, Trihan has begun implementing the overhauled combat UI but it's still WIP for now. Most of the efforts on the UI side were on cleaning up the implementation of the current menus.
Aaaaaaand that's it for the month! You can checkout the complete changelog, as usual, below!
