v0.10 ALPHA #3 Status Update

Apologies to all,

The tl;dr is that the game part of ALPHA #3 is all ready to go, I just need another 2 weeks to finish the new scenes. The page has been paused for October so that all active September patrons will not get charged.  And as usual, I'll send out the download links via Patreon Messages so that those September patrons who already canceled their pledges will still get access when the build is released, as they are owed. 

I have been meaning to make this post for the last 2 weeks, but only now have I finally managed to finish all of the gameplay aspects that I "needed" to include. I will post the "Final" Changelog for v0.10 ALPHA #3 below so you can read it for yourselves. The only items currently missing from it are the new sex scenes which I am still working on. 

There is technically nothing stopping me from releasing the build as is, but I fail to see the appeal in playing it without any of the promised new scenes included. Especially since new save files are still required and will still potentially break before the Full Release. The bare minimum should be 3 new scenes to make the download worth your time. So I won't release before then. 

I did very few renders this month while finishing the game work on the build, but that's all about to change now. As I have more renders to share in the coming days, I will do so. Once again, I apologize for the lack of content from me this month and my lack of communication, especially to the higher tiers. I decided to turtle up until I could confidently say that the only work remaining for this build were the sex scenes (rendering and implementing). It just took me far longer than anticipated, but what else is new?

Some 4 year anniversary this turned out to be...

CHANGELOG:

*Implemented the "Debra Titfucks Jebadiah" scene into the game's 2nd Day (Previously in the Gallery only).

*Merged Stat Point Allocation, Perk Point Allocation, Viewing Skills & Viewing Acquired Perks into a single menu option labeled "Progression".

• Added a "Progression" hotkey (Default Key is 'P').
• Stat & Perk Points can now be spent at the player's discretion instead of being forced upon level-up only.

*Added Tiffany's voice lines for the "Romeo Injects Tiffany" Story Scene.

• This scene is also now viewable from the Gallery & can be skipped at any time by holding 'X' like a sex scene.

*Added Tiffany's voice lines for the "Tiffany vs Male Zombie [Anal]" Combat Sex Scene.

• Minor improvements also made to address moan sfx repetition during all sex scenes. 

*Added 1 new large interior (East Sewer) beneath the east part of town. Several manholes were added to access this new location.

*Added an "Undress" hotkey (Default Key is 'U'). Press it while on the map to strip the next piece of Tiffany's outfit without damaging it.

• Outfit Repair Kits (Default Key is 'O') will not be consumed when the next piece of Tiffany's outfit to be equipped is undamaged.
• Undressing/Dressing Up now have corresponding CGs.

*Added 13 new Perks/Traits. Including the 3 non-functioning Perks previously marked in RED text.

• Added the missing Gun Jamming mechanic to the "Sticky Loads" Trait so that it functions as described.
• Fixed the "By A Thread" Perk to function as described instead of awarding free Outfit Repair Kits.
• Adjusted the "Barren" Trait bonus to grant +10% Damage instead of +5%.
• Some Perks/Traits have been hidden from choice until their effects become relevant to the player.

*Added the ability to give most Food/Drink items to other girls by selecting "Cater" when talking to them.

•  This will replenish their END & provide Persuading Skill exp.
•  The items can be laced with "FertiliMax" or "Unconceivable" (drugs required) to manipulate their Fertility & provide Breeding Skill exp.
•  Added a "Companion" hotkey (Default Key is 'C') to access this "Cater" feature for Tiffany's active companion.
•  More dialogue options will be tied to this Companion hotkey in future versions.

*Added the very rare chance for twin fetuses(or more - up to Decuplets) upon impregnation. 

• The player will receive a message box if this happens.
• This has no gameplay or visual effect, other than additional Breeding Skill exp & Fetus HP.
• Though in the future(End of Day 4+), this will of course result in multiple births at once.

*Added a basic Drunk status ailment & screen effect that are temporarily inflicted when consuming alcoholic drinks.

• Positives while Drunk = +10% Attack, +5% Critical Hit Chance.
• Negatives while Drunk = -5% Aim, -10% Reflexes, -10% Agility, Fetus Damage if Pregnant.
• Can become "Addicted to Alcohol", though Addiction effects & Drunkenness affecting dialogue options are planned for future versions.
• Tiffany is unable to read books while drunk (& also while Addicted to Cum).
• Currently: changing locations, drinking water & having combat sex, will contribute towards Tiffany getting sober.

*Added Sewer Zombie encounters to the Fishing mechanic.

*Added 2 new Cooking recipes/consumables & split the "Food" category into "Food(Basics)" & "Food(Recipes)" inside the Cooking Menu to help unclutter the UI.

*Added basic messaging to clarify the amount of successful stumble recoveries needed to regain balance(Day 3+).

*Adjusted combat in following ways for the sake of game balance:

• Slightly Buffed enemy Defense Stats & factored it into Firearm damage calculations.
• Slightly Buffed Firearm damage to account for modified calculations.
• Slightly Nerfed quantity of ammo found in RNG loot.
• Slightly Nerfed natural(per level) Attack Stat growth.
• Slightly Nerfed base Combat Knife Attack Stat bonus. 
• 9mm x2 Combat Move now unlocks at Level 6 instead of Level 10. And it no longer costs 1 END point to use.
• Melee x2 Combat Move now unlocks at Level 9 instead of Level 5.
• Added a new 9mm x3 Combat Move that unlocks at Level 12. It does cost 1 END point to use.
• Sewer Zombies are now 10% less resistant to Fire Damage, but completely immune to being set Ablaze.

*Adjusted Tiffany's MAX HP Stat so that it now increases the base HP of Fetuses at conception.

*Adjusted Tiffany's Defense Stat so that it now decreases any damage dealt to Fetuses during the relevant sex scenes.

*Adjusted the level design of "South Sewer" to reduce unnecessary backtracking during the game's intro.

*Adjusted the "Gallery" Hotkey (Default Key is 'G') so that it can also be used to exit the Gallery while inside.

*Fixed a bug where returning to "Barclay Stables" caused a black screen.

*Fixed a bug where skipping the masturbation scene caused a black screen.

*Fixed a bug where the "Farm Hand" Quest could become stuck if the player already had 7 Blueberries or 3 Eggs prior to starting the quest.

*Fixed a bug where the new "Item Found!" popup notifications would frequently overlap when looting multiple items at once from containers.
