Update News!


Hello everyone!

All the work for the new update is very close to being finished!
I ended up adding more than what was previously planned in the "Update Roadmap" post. That news update was more of a general outline than a set-in-stone change log. 

Anywho,
0.1.14 is more focused on setting up some base mechanics for future detective game-play going forward. The Puzzle in the update is functional but will be relatively easy for two reasons.

1. The puzzle is reliant on ALOT of paper letters, magazines, pictures, etc item assets (most of which arent finished)
2. Its a tutorial puzzle. So there will be some tutorial windows to explain what the hell is happening on your screen.
Lots of future puzzles will be using this new mechanic, so the hand-holding won't be necessary later on. (I like to avoid tutorial windows wherever possible)

In other news about the update

After some consideration, I decided NOT to have Euphy be the star of this update's lewd activities. The last one felt very thrown in and unfinished.
So instead I actually managed to work the lewd scene into the tutorial of the new mechanic being added. This will give you an idea of some of the cool interactions in the over-world you'll be able to make in the future.

So yeah. Expect it to be out real soon! 

Here are the current patch notes for the update. (Spoiler warning)
