• Removed some unused codes from the project;
• Made Alvina’s dialogue cinematic, adding more body language to her;

• New sliders to change Kalyskah’s muscle intensity in the character customisation;
• Added 4 trivia books to Michael’s library;
• Added the longest erotic scene we ever did. You can trigger it by entering the blood bath area. I suggest you save it before the scene starts because there are a lot of choices on it! Also, you might notice that sometimes the character’s hands will clip with Kalyskah’s skin. that’s Because the animations were done using the new rig but because we didn’t fully implement it on the engine yet, the animations are not looking 100% exactly how they should. But we’ll be fixing it next month.

Known issues:

• The choices on the massage with the female character aren’t changing as many Tendency statuses as the ones with the male. This will be reviewed in the next patch.
• When you close the game, it sends a crash message. This also happens when you leave the open world while loading another save or returning to the main menu. We are investigating what’s causing the issue.
• There might be some stuttering while loading sublevels of the dungeon. But that’s because we are in the process of reworking how we did the world composition. This will be reduced as move forward with this task.
