• Added 3 more traditional CG-s for a new scene.
• Added new stuff to the lying-down interactive h-scene (new stuff currently on chains path):
• 1 new moveable clothing item: shirt (2 positions)
• 1 new position for chestwrap clothing item (off)
• 2-and-a-half new rubbable regions: thigh, side (the ‘-and-a-half’ part bc the side region works slightly differently with Ari’s shirt on)
• 2 new spankable regions: left/right thigh
• 1 new waxable region: stomach
• new facial expression – Ari winces when the ruler or wax candle tool are used.
• Technically, there are two new quests, but they’re just very small pointers to scenes.
• Total word count: from 28,924 to 34,124

Bugfixes:

• General editorializing (fixing typos, messy sentence)
• Fixed visual glitch when using rub tool on area reddened by ruler.
• Fixed issue causing tool tutorial animations to get stuck on first frame

Internal:

• A bizarrely specific change: dialogue now advances on mousedown, not renpy’s default mouseup. This fixes some interactive-scene-to-dialogue transitions where the key might be held.

Known issues:

• Visual glitch:in some situations, returning to h-scene from dialogue, text notifications (eg. “*Rub!*”) may be stuck on the screen until replaced

v.0.9.1
Changes:
– Skipping intro gives 4 of either fragment instead of 3
– If Ari has Daily Task rule active without Help With Paperwork rule, player is prompted about whether to ask Ari for help when doing paperwork

Bugfixes:
– Hopefully resolved ‘maximum recursion depth exceeded’ error that showed up when saving/loading
– Upgrades no longer have crosstalk issues between savegames
– Important typo in chains quest description fixed (“raise :ari_bang: to 3” -> “raise :ari_bang: to 4”)
– Fixed an issue with the bottom quick menu disappearing during spank scenes and never returning
– Disabled the quick menu during interactive h-scenes – it can cause issues and I should have done this long ago
– Disabled rollforward during interactive h-scenes until I find a fix for why some variables aren’t correctly changed when rolling forward
– Fixed visual glitch where the ruler was sometimes still shown during h-scene interjection scenes
– Fixed issue where Ari’s Temperament wasn’t changing properly on levelup
– Fixed Linux issues caused by renpy.get_mouse_pos() returning float in Linux (thanks, Sep, for including the exact line causing the issue and also a fix with your bug report )
– Fixed issue where the Thaumaturgy Cabinet menu buttons were accessible even if the Upgrades menu was open
– Fixed issue where spank scene max bang interjections weren’t firing correctly
– Fixed some issues with incorrect heart path scenes firing after end-of-content
– Candle upgrade should now always appear when reaching chains level 2
– Small editorial fixes (typos and grammar and sentence structure and stuff. Thanks for the help on that, HeavyEavy)

Known issues:
– there’s a small visual glitch when rubbing areas that have been spanked red

v.0.9
tl;dr:
– Mechanically, the daily loop is almost completely different
– Content ends at about the same point
– Something like 30% of the dialogue until end-of-content is rewritten to some extent
– I recommend playing through the intro again – it has fewer changes than elsewhere, but still
(Renpy’s skipping system *should* be working fine during the intro so you can skip the stuff you’ve seen)
Content:
– All of the content is now accessible through all paths.
– The  and  paths are now trying to move towards slightly different goals –  is about Ari being pleasured,  is about Ari pleasuring Frim
– the different paths are now also trying to give Ari *slightly* different motivations so
– There are a few extra Temperaments (eg. – Ari is horny af) and a bunch of places where that causes a variation in the scene
– There’s some completely new dialogue scenes added inbetween existing stuff, eg:
– The pacing of how Ari becomes friendly is a lot smoother (but not actually slower, just… I wrote it better this time)
– Frim is less *unnecessarily* mean – I feel like I really wasn’t considering sub-y players enough and failed to make Frim an attractive dom (tho I guess tastes vary)
– Some new rules and repeatable daily actions (demanding Ari show her panties is now a daily event)
– Tiny tutorial animations for the tools in interactive h-scenes! *Way* too many people were having trouble with them to not fix this.
Changes:
– *HEAVILY* changed how the mechanics of the daily loop work:
– It’s more-or-less rebuilt from the ground up. Any similarities with v.0.8 are more happenstance than things purposefully left in.
– Explaining all of the changes is basically like trying to form an exhaustive feature list, which is nah dawg, I’m not doing that
– Heavily changed the basic progress path (including quests) that the player goes through and how all of the scenes are accessed.
– The number of quests changed from 3 to 7, of which only the intro remains with the same name and progression as before
– Cut *a lot* of existing dialogue/text, focusing on two areas:
– Any text that’s repeated a lot is shorter (eg. paperwork infraction dialogue went from 14 lines to 8)
– What used to be the quest A Gentle Touch was heavily gutted because:
– it was a severe problem with the pacing of how Ari becomes friendly
– the  path was giving Ari the same reasons to give in as the  path, this was replaced for v.0.9 so the paths work better in parallel
Internal:
– removed a lot of spaghetti code
– added a lot of spaghetti code
Known issues:
– there’s a small visual glitch when rubbing areas that have been spanked red
– sometimes there’s a visual glitch that leaves the ruler visible when the ruler tool is disabled
– rollback and rollforward during interactive h-scenes can cause issues (I’m having a devil of a time fighting this)
– the backend has a massive amount of dead code that was left in due to crunch. I absolutely do not recommend looking at it.

v.0.7
Personal notes:
– New interactive h-scene! It’s not repeatable yet, but it’s there!
Content:
– Can now reach heart level 1
– New scene! Begins immediately after the Ari-sitting-down-scene from v.0.6
– New interactive h-scene! Features:
– 3 Moveable clothing items: skirt (2 positions + off), waistwrap (1 position + off), chestwrap: (2 positions)
– 1 Rubbable region: left breast (3 positions)
– 2 facial expressions
– 2 bonus images that are shown when this scene first plays out in the story
– This, like, weird little system that lets Ari move her arm, which is relevant to how this scene first plays out in the story
– Added exciting new bugs!
– Total word count: from 16,634 to 19,549
Bugfixes:
– General editorializing (fixing typos, messy sentences, etc.)
– Changed the description and name of what’s shown in the Quests menu when no quests are active.
Internal:
– The new interactive h-scene is quite different internally in very cool ways that will be useful in the future
– A small bit of content that got made for the interactive h-scene but then cut, might be repurposed later.

v.0.6:
Personal notes:
– Implemented a scene I’ve been excited about for a long time! 

Content:
– Added one new scene.
– Added two more traditional CG-s for the new scene.
– Added a new variant of Ari showing her panties where she, uh, isn’t wearing panties.
– Total word count: from 14,461 to 16,634

Bugfixes:
– General editorializing (fixing typos, messy sentence)

v.0.5:
Personal notes:
– This one’s a bit backstory-heavy. I’m happy with the writing and it’s the right moment for this backstory dump, but it *is* a backstory dump. 

New Content:
– Added a new heart level and a bit of a twist that accompanies it!
– A single new image of Ari revealing her chastity belt in PJs
– Total word count: from 11,819 to 14,461

Bugfixes:
– Removed some superfluous dialogue lines (oof, right in the word count!  )
– General editorializing (fixing typos, messy sentences, etc. – this time)

Internal:
– Game saves should be cross-version compatible from this point on.
– Changed from Renpy 7.2 to 7.3, because I needed access to some of its features.
