V23.5 Change Log

 Remember to update your save in town.

For pre v23 saves - Due to structural changes to the games file organization it is HIGHLY recommended you load a save in town. Or things will get janky. Very janky.

-Do no open your character menu when you load your save, it will crash. Move around town, or manually update your save in options first.

  

-If you load your save in a town location and not town square, you will only have the option to leave that location due to an internal change, but you can go back into that location no problem afterwards.

Content

-When working a long shift for Venefica you can now break out of the cell to explore her home. Just don't get caught. (Also note you can't bring any of your findings here back to Elly yet. But you can get everything for when I do that.) (No the quest still isn't done yet.)

- A "Bathe?" option has been added to Jora's talk options when visiting her, leading to multiple new scenes. Written by Valentine Cognito.

Balancing 

-The sleep status effect has been entirely reworked when affecting the player. It now functions kind of like an aphrodisiac, but drains energy every turn, and stacks potency with succession, but the duration wont reset if hit again. If you hit 0 energy while affected by Sleep, you will fall asleep, regaining 50% of your max energy, but if you cum while sleeping you lose 25% of your spirit. This should make sleep less of a 'need to remove in the next 3 turns' and something you can manage or work around in multiple ways. As it now stacks the player can cast sleep multiple times to speed up the process.

-Sleep the skill now cost's 20 energy down from 25.

-Sleep immunity is no longer applied after waking up.

-Charm no longer increases damage taken by 20%. The effect already does a lot of things and it had this effect long before buffs and debuffs existed, so it's a bit outdated.

 

Art 

-The Mountain now has a proper background by Applehead.

-There is now an art variant of the Alarune by Applehead.

QoL

-You can now drink Imp Juice if you really want to. It's almost the same in function as alraune nectar. Also altered it's description.

-The 'history' menu has been made more readable with long lines no longer overlapping. With special thanks to Feltcutemightcleanlater.

-There is now a Links page in the menus. Special thanks to Feltcutemightcleanlater.

Modding  

-Enemies now all have an energy value for the sake of the sleep effect.

-If you have a mod enemy that uses sleep as a status effect, I highly reccomend you check ancilla's sex skills for the minor changes. Keep in mind Sleep "requiresStatusEffect": "Sleep", "requiresStatusPotency": "-99", means target is asleep, and  "requiresStatusEffect": "Drowsy", means the energy drain phase.

-Be sure to give your monsters a proper energy value or they will be very weak to sleep. 30-50 is an average enemy, while around 100+ would be a boss enemies energy. At least at this time with how im looking at things.

-Added ChangeMonsterMaxEnergy function for the sleep thing.

-SleepAmp perk type now also lowers or increases energy lost by the sleep status.

-Added "InverseRequirement" to menu functions allowing you to reverse a check like RequiresItem to then see if the player doesn't have the item. Special thanks to Feltcutemightcleanlater.

-RemoveStatusEffectFromMonster and RemoveStatusEffect can now be used to remove the following status effect types: Damage, Defence, Power, Technique, Intelligence, Willpower, Allure, Luck, and Crit. At this time it will remove them regardless of if it's a buff or debuff, and will remove ALL of the effects of that type present on the character. This may get updated later on to allow for specficic selection.

-When using the Stat SwapLineIf function or RequiresStat menu function or the StatEqualsOrMore function, you can now check for CurrentArousal, CurrentEnergy, or CurrentSpirit.

-Most of Renpy's innate text functions should now work alongside MGD's text functions. Such as resizing text like this. {size=-10}Text{/size} or a WAY simpler way to change color {color=#d43bd4}YAY{/color}. The only ones that dont work at this time have decimal places involved, such as {alpha=0.1}This crashes!{/alpha}. Check here for more things that should now work fine.  https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/text.html?highlight=image#general-text-tags 

-Added DenyPlayerOrgasm and DenyMonsterOrgasm which bypass normal orgasm calls for an entire round of combat when called for the respective target. Monster though applies to all monsters, but I'm not sure how often this will get used anyways.

-Added DenyTargetOrgasm and DenyAttackerOrgasm which bypass the normal orgasm call for the respective target for a single attack. It resets after that (so the player can still orgasm via their own recoil in this case.) The attacker one is a bit more specific as well as it's only for recoil damage on the attack being ignored.

-Added OnPlayerEdge and onEdge for monster line options to respond to the above denial calls. Does not currently work with the 'edging' perk, as thats still kind of an experimental thing and these work totally different.

-When calling a CombatEncounter you can now call DenyInventory in it to disallow the use of items from the player.

-The modding docs are now complete and up to date with very special thanks to Feltcutemightcleanlater.  

Fixes  

 -A combat AI issue should be fixed with group fights running out of time to pick skills.

-An issue should be fixed where if you were hit by a status effect lowered your power, willpower, or int, your max arousal or max energy could be altered temporarily with it.

-Fixes "Drowsy" as a status effect to check for being labeled "Drowzy" instead of "Drowsy".

-Fixed IfMonsterHasSkill and IfMonsterHasPerk calling return even if they didn't run causing some functions to do weird shit.

-Fixed a bug in Kotone's later stuff that stopped some progress from being given out.

-Fixed the sample mod crashing.
