v26.4 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**


* Added a very long sex scene at the Graffiti Queen Shop. Requires the player to have the Rut status when asking the shopkeep for sex options. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.

* You can now "Inquire about 'special services'." from Amber, featuring two expansive sex scenes with variants. By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.

* There are 28 new facts that can be given out by Ancilla. By Threshold and Valentin Cognito. Also facts are no longer randomized and play in a specific order, and after she states the fact you are taken to the same talk menu instead of her first one, so you can easily ask for another fact.


**Balancing**


* Sofia's Mind Melting Makeout skill can now transfer into a MesmerizingMakeout-related skill check if you are Charmed or at 5 stacks of Trance (instead of just at max, deeper into that combat event).

* Ushris now accounts for makeout stance when she's restraining you given the change to restraints.

* Increased Amy's max arousal from 500 to 750.


**QoL**


* Fetching json functions is now a near-instant calculation cost, regardless of what function is being fetched. This will greatly reduce performance variance of dialogue. The cost of running the functions themselves still stands. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* After getting a Perk, you no longer need to hit Confirm Stats to be able to take Perks with that previous Perk as a prerequisite (however, you still need to confirm the Perk).

* When moving or interacting in the Labyrinth, your action is counted before any events occur. This means Aphrodisiac and Paralysis effects are now triggered before combat and events. This also means that being affected by Aphrodisiac in combat doesn't result in immediate Aphrodisiac damage right after combat.

* Since you're given the choice to proceed onwards or go to Town after clearing the Labyrinth for the first time, the status effects on the player are now cleared, so you're not potentially still kiss-covered from Iabel while interacting with Perpetua.

* The tooltips of the Struggle options in the combat menu will now display the hp bar of the restraints, just like the Restrained status effect tooltip. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Pressing Buy or Sell in item shops will now close the confirmation window. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Stance struggling tooltips now provide a stance hp bar for each stance, as well as the total of all stances on each monster. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* When hovering over the map, it now animates with a zoom and built-in glow that helps with selecting small icons. Backward compatible with mods. This can be toggled under the Animated UI setting in Options. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Greatly reduced memory being unnecessarily used by the map menu, owing to Ren'Py calculating lots of collision box data for map icons, due to previously using 1080p images with lots of empty alpha pixels for exact positioning. By feltcutemightcleanlater and Threshold.

* HP, SP, and EP bars are now animated rather than instantly changing values. This can be toggled under the Animated UI setting in Options. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Menu choices now have a small and brief zoom affect. This can be toggled under the Animated UI setting in Options. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* The quick menu choices now have a drop down animation. This can be toggled under the Animated UI setting in Options. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Added 13 new main menu snippets that can appear under the title.


**Modding**


* The game validator was expanded and revamped again, it now checks json functions for invalid names/IDnames. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Added IgnoreDebugChoices key to Event jsons to tell the validator to set choice values or whole choice numbers to be ignored. See modding docs for more info. By feltcutemightcleanlater.


**Fixes**


* Defending now actually increases your Evade, as intended.

* Fixed orgasms outside of combat not affecting blue balls and similar mechanics.

* Fixed exploration rest points not properly restoring Favor.

* Fixed the Double Kunoichi Trainee loss scene not triggering due to not having a name.

* Flat Arousal losses from items now benefit from relevant bonuses, and flat Arousal gains are no longer affected (this was previously reversed).

* Items that work off Skills (such as ones with percentage-based healing) no longer apply item bonuses twice.

* Favor is reset and refreshed upon respeccing, to avoid potentially having more than you should.

* Aphrodisiacs from Labyrinth tiles now properly last 10 turns instead of 11.

* NPCs and player moving across the gridmap is now smoother, with greatly reduced jitter. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Fixed tooltip information not resetting when pressing 'Return' in the map and grimoire menus. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* The item shop now properly reflects the recovery value of items. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* Fixed exception when closing the character menu while hovering over the exp bar. By feltcutemightcleanlater.

* 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.
