* Stella's hidden StellasLipstick fetish tracker is now properly capped at 100 instead of scaling off forever. Found by the validator update.

* Ushris' green tile temptation event's Offer your cock to her small breasts! scene now properly increases Kissing fetish instead of Kisses Fetish (which isnt real).  Found by the validator update.

* Fixed the restraint tooltip not working if the restraint is started outside of combat, alongside related restraint combat menu choices bugging out. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Fixed an instance where Shizu could softlock you with her footjob attack chain in her clones fight if a clone was missing, effectively edging you forever if you couldn't pass the check to escape.

* Fixed the defense  bonus perks actually making your defend action worse instead of better.

* Assorted typo/editing fixes.

**Ren'Py v7->v8 SDK Upgrade by feltcutemightcleanlater**

After roughly a year of internal prep changes and a handful of test releases on the Discord, MGD is now being built on Ren'Py 8.2.2, offering the following benefits:

* Better compatibility with newer devices and OSes while retaining the same compatibility and system requirements as the last game update.

* Roughly 30% better performance in all aspects of the game, such as load times or gridmap traversal.

* New internal developer conveniences, helping game development.

* No longer being stuck on various end of life software, including just recently Ren'Py 7 itself, ensuring better overall game stability.

* Fixed datetime bug with renpy save sync thanks to fix in Ren'Py 8.

* Fixed some of Sofia's combat event skills displaying "Skip" due to guarding plus very high willpower or other effects as they were triggering on a 250% chance which could be lowered, but are built to always occur.

* Fixed excess items not accounting for your equipped items. By feltcutemightcleanlater.
