First, lots of good with these last two updates!  Your hard work is shining through.  I've noticed a LOT that has been fixed. Endless loops that force the player to exit and reload are getting buttoned up. Quests that can be completed that were once stuck because of progress bar issues. Broken menu items. The Kun games now work, which are nice. I'm impressed by what you're able to pull together on such a tight budget.

A few bugs that slipped through the cracks, that I've noticed: 

Mira's avatar in the Giggles 4 Money game is frozen/locked, no sound file plays, and the bunny girls tickling her are off center over to Mira's right/the player's left.

On the mission to rescue soldiers from the forest and fight the vampiress a second time (I forget the name of the quest), if you rescue any more soldiers after the first half of the quest is fulfilled (due to enemies respawning when entering an area) you have as many Valadrya soldier sprites following your party for the rest of the game as you rescue.

The "Replay Cutscene" and "Fight" menu options with the Ticklebot in the Thermal Pond are switched such that when you select "Replay Cutscene" it take you to a fight and vice versa.

While fighting Genna for the first time your party mysteriously disappears, I note that you can still get them back at a camp site, which is good, but a notification of some kind might be helpful.

Other than that, I notice a lot of things were it looks like you wanted to include them in the game, but haven't gotten around to it.  

The Shapeshifter demon (I forget her name), whom you still can't interact with at night, has two cutscenes: Nightmare 1 and Nightmare 3.  Other than a mechanic to wake up in the middle of the night and talk to her, I wonder what Nightmare 2 was supposed to be?  Since it was mentioned that she's a shapeshifter who can look like anyone on command, I can't help but feel that there's a lot more here that you wanted to include that's not finished yet.  

The fortune teller has a night tease scene, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is also tied to a "wake up in the middle of the night" mechanic that you meant to include in the game?  I notice when sleeping in one of her camps that her feet are sticking out of the tent, and knowing what the game is about couldn't help but wondering when we'd be able to get at her.

Mira has several dungeon torture cutscenes, and it seems like you originally meant for us to find her in one of these situations randomly? I didn't notice any of them during the playthrough, so I'm curious about that.

Captain Amelia, I get the feeling, is going to be a future update in regards to her bedroom scene with Anne.

There was a whole "above the clouds" map in a previous version of the game that didn't have anything to do in the map, but I can't find it.  I take it you decided to scrap it?

Anyway, there is probably more I hadn't noticed. Once you've ironed out the bugs, I look forward to the parts you add on.  It feels like you're so close to getting this finished!

You are really working hard on this.  I appreciate you.

When you release an update, should we start over in the game?  I ask because I tried two saves, one right before you fight Bouddica as a mage, and one after where you're hunting the vampiress in the woods, and in both I encountered new bugs.  The Boudicca scene wouldn't exit out of her post battle torture scene.  The vampiress in the woods fights me the moment I load the game before getting to her to trigger the fight, and for some reason when I click on her image post fight the party moves around in the map in the background, which triggered another glitch when they moved to a new area mid-torture scene. 

Not sure if these are due to the code of the old saves interacting strangely with the new update, or what.  I'll try going further back in my save files and see if things start working or if these are new bugs that appear as a result of trying to fix old ones.

Appreciate the hard work.  I realize that coding is difficult and that when you change something in one place there can be unintended effects elsewhere in the code.

More that I've noticed. "A hunt of hauntings" quest for the Academia of Magic cannot complete.  The quest completion bar stops just short of completion after you remove 10 hauntings, and when you attempt to report to Galatea she does not recognize that the quest is completed.

Cannot complete the Bizarre Collectionist quest on account of the Moth-Girl.  The "Hunt the exotic monster-girl" quest that was offered once by the Academia of Magic doesn't seem to be offered again, and the creature doesn't appear (as far as I know) outside of the quest.  The foot book capture didn't trigger after the battle.  I can also see this being an issue for someone who happens to not talk to the shop owner and start the Bizarre Collectionist quest until after entering the tower and completing the Moth Girl quest.  Suggest having one or two minor moth-girl monsters in the forest of Lys while the quest is for going after the boss Moth-girl.

The gather "Crystal Seeds" quest generates two quests at the same time, one for collecting 8 seeds, and one for collecting 20 seeds.  The 20 seed quest persists after the 8 seed quest is turned in and remains on your list even after the gypsy gives you other collection quests.

The doppleganger Yina appears at night after you free her, but you never get the option to interact with her.  Nor is there any other interaction with her after she is freed. I have not seen an option to have her join Anne's party yet.  Am I missing something or is there a glitch?

"Mandragoras!" quest is extremely difficult to complete.  Same issue as the "A hunt of hauntings" quest.  Collect the requisite amount, but quest bar is not full and can't turn it in.

Items "Fluffy Quill", "Iron Ore", and "Cotton" don't seem to do anything (I notice using the "Fairy tickler" in combat restores TP).  Are they used for a quest?  "Stiff Feather" also doesn't seem to do anything.

Is failing a quick time challenge against ghosts supposed to produce a blank game over screen followed by the usual options to load a saved game or quit to menu?

Thank you for being a responsive developer.

Two things I noticed regarding Mira, the half-demon Rogue, in the minigames: 1) Her avatar/sprite is completely frozen/locked up in the minigame Giggles 4 Money there's also no laugh track.  2) She doesn't show up at all on the Wall of Tickling minigame.  In fact when you get 4-5 people on your team two of the slots on the wall aren't filled even though they have a showgirl standing in front of them.  When it's 6 people on your team one of the spots isn't occupied.  When the minigame with the quicktime event runs it will cycle through every girl on your squad except Mira.

In many tickle scenes where there's one victim the laugh tracks seem to be layered on top of each other such that it sounds like multiple women laughing instead of one woman.  This is random and not in all scenes.

The Masseuse Session never seems to open up even after beating and interrogating Mistress Lyra, even though it is mentioned in dialogue.

Other people have already mentioned other bugs I've noticed with this version.

You're doing a good job.  Keep up the great work!

Hey, I saw you posted an update to this game very recently, so not sure if some of the issues I'm about to mention have been corrected yet.

1) After Boudicca joins the party all combat instances of "(monster) tries to capture (character)" only result in the character being stripped of shoes or clothing after the failure of the QuickTime event, no tickling animation even for Anne who had animations prior to obtaining party members. After clothes are stripped from a party member, further instances of monsters trying to capture that party member only result in their already missing armor being stolen again.

2) Don't know if this is intentional or a bug, but sometimes shoes or armor that are stolen either in combat or an out of combat QuickTime event go permanently missing. It doesn't happen every time and it's hard to predict when it will happen.

3) When you first go to recruit the monk, if you choose to fight and subdue her rather than submit to her, your party members other than Anne permanently disappear and you have to load a saved game prior to talking to the monk to get them back. You get to keep your party if Anne submits to the monk.

4) The Kun's, after you collect enough to play games with them, after the dialogue to start the game there are several large Kuns that appear on the bottom of the screen and they don't go away unless you load a game prior to your dialogue with the game kun.  This is preceded by a message that says "Work in progress".

5) Sometimes tickling animations will be out of sync such that ticklers/tickling objects won't be properly lined up with the ticklee. Doesn't happen all the time and is hard to predict.

6) The "Wall of Laughter" mini game only seems to feature Anne and Boudicca even after you get additional party members.

7) The book in the "Book of Feet" quest doesn't always appear behind the feet you are collecting when the minigame starts, sometimes leaving a pair of feet floating in front of a black background.

8) The mimic clothing, when used from the inventory, only seems to work on Anne even if you use it on other party members. It also results in her being completely drained of MP even when it says "+2 MP" or something similar.

That's all I have encountered so far.  This is obviously a passion project that you are putting a lot of work into, so I have confidence in your ability to polish this with each new update. Keep up the good work!
