PUBLIC RELEASE - v0.20.1 - THE KIDS ARE OKAY(?)

The latest update has been released!

In this update the Outskirts open back up again and you can finally visit the farm and the daycare once more! Are Annie, Kana and the kids okay? Suuuuure! I mean, probably. You should go check, though. Also in this update, the Numbers make a return, and what's up with the communications in the town!? Also, a big ol' pile of bug fixes! I hope you enjoy! :)

NOTE: Due to the shift to a biweekly update schedule, all public releases from now on will be on Monday instead of Thursday. Thank you!

CHANGELOG:

• Annie: The return of Annie! Conquer the Old Club and clear the roadblock to get access to the Farm!
• Kids: The return of the kids! Once you make it to the farm, you can talk to any of the kids you left in the day care!
• Kids: You can talk to, and play with, all of the kids in the day care!
• Kids: All the kids now have paperdolls!
• Radio: If you go to the Manor living room in the afternoon, you might hear something interesting on the radio (ten different transmissions to hear)!
• Gwen: After listening to the radio, you can ask Gwen about it!
• Numbers: The Numbers you met in the Act Two finale return! Meet the Shopkeep (conquer then scout the bridge) and then sleep!
• Shopkeep: After talking to the Numbers, find and talk to the Shopkeep again for a little more lore hints!
• Outskirts: You now have access to the Outskirts! Conquer the Old Club, then select "Clear the Roadblock" from the Outskirts location!
• Outskirts: You can visit every location in the Outskirts (except Morgana)!
• Combat: New Power available! You can now use AURA in combat to increase your SEDUCE dice by two!
• Combat: If you use auto-win you will now take a tiny amount of damage when doing so. Don't worry! You can still use the auto-win all day every day, but now events that require you to have taken damage will trigger correctly (such as Lily and Lyx's events)
• Misc: Tidied up some of Gwen's dialogue so her paperdoll doesn't keep sliding in and out
• Misc: Went through some of the earlier dialogue in Act Three and added way more references to the kids, if you have any. Their moms will ask about them too, when you meet them for the first time!
• Bug: Players were unable to leave via the front door at night, even with all requirements met, but could leave through other means. The front door has been unlocked now, so MC no longer needs to climb out via bathroom windows
• Bug: Jessica's paperdoll was hiding some words, and they weren't even naughty! MC has learned to throw his voice slightly to the right, so all is uncovered now. Nice try, Jessica!
• Bug: A couple of error messages relating to Madison and Veronica have been fixed - they're no longer trying to wear outfits that don't exist!
• Bug: Upgraded dice weren't appearing the first time you fought Goons in the garden. Now they are!
• Bug: Your Goon's "Reinforce" tactic was boosting the first dice, not the lowest. Now it will boost the lowest, as it should! Silly Goons, so disorganised...
• Bug: Fixed an error with paperdolls sticking around after reloading the same scene whilst in the middle of talking to them. Shoo, paperdolls! Shoo!
• Bug: There was an issue preventing Lyx from appearing in your bedroom. Which some might say is a good thing, but those people didn't bribe me with mangoes so now she can get in again
• Bug: The latest engine update messed up autosaves. They should be working properly again from this update onwards!
• Bug: You can no longer search the apartments at night, causing a time dilation flux. Doc Brown gave me a good scolding
• Bug: The Credits page is functional again! No more weirdness, and the supporter list is up to date again! Yay!
• Bug: Ty-ty-typpppooosss fixx-x-xxx-xxxed...

I hope you enjoy this update! Next Early Access update will be Monday, 16th of October.
