Version 2.4.4, Sleepers & Serpents

Dev Notes

• This is our eighth weekly update, and the first to go out whilst I work on Act IV. It is small but perfectly formed - with a new content flag, a new waifu cameo, and the first work of our new writer. 

Features

• Scene: Marie-Anne helps Malagar with his experiments (several variants, collab with Mattrex and Var).
• Scene: a visit from Malice, the ghost of dickmas future (collab with Mattrex).
• Captives: you can enjoy your time with Naho in a different configuration.
• Art: Naho’s defiance (Lubbio).
• Art: Malice’s character art (Vira).
• Background: a new background for Malagar’s laboratory (Mortalitech).

Tweaks

• The ‘Virginity’ content flag has been added to the Preferences menu.
• When you sleep, you may choose between the dreams available to you.
• You may choose to have Malagar keep Heloise around after your initial experiment with her.
• Night-time events with Darja, Issa, and the rogue sisters also allow you to dream afterwards.
• The size of your hoard appears in your Status menu from Act III onwards.
• Dragon VA has been added to the rogues’ initial scene.
• A link to the walkthrough now appears in the main menu.
• Sleep transitions are faster.

Fixes

• You cannot invite Marie-Anne to partake of Breaker’s human resource services if she is not currently in your employ. Or dead.
• Death also happens to serve as an effective contraceptive.
• The secret escape tunnel from the farmstead to the lowlands has been removed.
• Assorted spelling and grammar improvements (thanks Kahryl!).
