v26.2 Change Log

 **Remember to load your save from the town square.**

**Also be sure to always install the game into a fresh folder unless it's patch data to avoid weird issues. Saves are kept in a separate location so they're safe.**

**Content**

* The Graffiti Queen shop keep now has a sex scene and a titfuck scene. Both by Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.

* There is now a simple spooky quest in the Labyrinth that can be done to unlock using Nightmare mode at any location when exploring. This includes modded locations/content. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.

**Art**

* The generic Alraune now has a close up CG. By Applehead.

**Balancing**

* Paralysis has been reworked, it no longer stuns you and instead increases your energy costs by 20% and gives all actions except wait a flat +2 energy cost, it now also reduces run chance by 5, each effect per stack.

* Paralysis amp effects now reduce the energy cost penalty instead of decrease chance to be stunned.

* Fairy Circle Ring anti paralysis effect has been increased from 15% to 25%, Tiny Fungal Lantern's anti paralysis effect has been increased from 10% to 20%.

* Struggle!!! when restrained now costs 20 energy, up from 10 energy, but its boost to escaping restraints has been increased from 35% to 50%.

* More actions/skills are available when restrained. Primarily skills that are relevant to a stance you are currently in, with a few select others.

* Using a skill (including a failed skill, even teleport) while restrained now applies damage to the restraint at 0.1x power of a normal struggle. This can't cause you to escape.

* Using a skill while restrained deals 50% damage it normally would. Doesn't apply to recoil effects.

* These restraint changes also apply to enemies, so don't be shocked if they keep swinging their hips too now. Though there may also be some weird interactions hiding around that will need to be buffered out in later updates.

**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.

**Fixes**

* 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.

* Hiding the UI on the map now works properly. This mostly effects android users as the PC version has very little UI to hide.

* Android: The exploration set up UI is now more responsive, clicking add or subtract to a monster/event/quest now immediately brings up the text rather than needing to tap around it.

* Fixed very long equipment names trailing off the top of the character menu. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Fixed non-persistent perk based status effects persisting after combat in cases if you had more than one.

* Fixed unnamed/blank scenes being included in the pool of possible scenes that can play for victory or loss scenes which caused difficulty for modders, and could cause some skipped scenes in specific instances in the game.

* Attack and Defense tooltips now display information properly again, for realz this time.

* Fixed a few odd spots where Catherine's expressions weren't working in the camper event.

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

* Key items in the inventory no longer display a value when viewed in the player inventory for no reason. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Belle's brothel scene no longer ends with her lingering on screen, and when you go to bed from it, it will change the background accordingly.

* Small typo fixes.
