The biggest change in this release is a new robust story passage queue system, which allows me to start moving away from confusing and error-prone individual scripts whenever I need to conditionally display content.

Another huge change is a new fetish progression system. Fetishes are now a core gameplay mechanic that works something like this:

• You encounter a scene with a fetish opportunity.

• AVA does her thing to make you embrace the fetish.

• You can resist or submit.

• If you choose to resist and fail - AVA makes you embrace the fetish.

• If you choose to resist and success - you can avoid the fetish, but your relationship with AVA will decrease slightly.

• It takes 10 encounters with a single fetish for the fetish to reach 100%.

• Once a fetish is 100% "leveled up," then you can no longer resist it, and the content associated with the fetish will be displayed automatically.

The fetishes you unlock will determine unique story/relationship/side activity content.

I've also completely redesigned the work minigame because I got sick of playing the old version rather quickly. Don't worry: the redesign took me very little time (AI has become scarily good at coding)—game design and story writing are significantly more time consuming.

I believe that the new version of the minigame far better depicts the activity it's supposed to illustrate, and it's also more optimized for mobile devices.

Next update will be largely about the first weekend of chapter 1 (but not limited to it). The relationship quest with Trix will properly begin with you two working together on Saturday and Sunday, and you'll have a chance to get a few hints as to what sexual content you can expect from Trix.

You will also experience AVA's first post-implant feminization influence -- I've pretty happy with the concept I've came up with and hope you'll be too.  

In general, I'm starting to feel very happy about the decision to do one extra redesign. The game's mechanics have finally clicked in place for me, and the story no longer is at odds with what makes adult games fun in the first place.
