Heyhey Scientists!New Patch mainly focusing on fixing bugs and improving gameplay performance is live on Lewd Launcher. (Download the launcher and link your patreon to gain access)
It also changes the Censor Button to use a Password instead of the patreon login. We think after looking at how many of you had issues with the initial approach, that thats the best, fairest and most reliable solution. The password can be found in this static post which will be linked and updated once a month roughly:

(The Password Post is only accessible to Tiers above T1m Bot Tier)In terms of things we did: Long story short, mostly game code refactoring. That means both improved performance, but also simply changed how we addressed certain problems. I wont bore you with too many details since the rabbit hole is deep.
Major changes and current state of the game build:
Prologue Refactor. Dream scene with Melody now uses the Sandbox System which also adds new Interactive Response Inputs to the early progression. Go check it out if you wanna see the new upgraded version of Dream.
Prologue Refactor 2: The Player Room Museum Scene is heavily simplified in an attempt to make it more interesting and guide the player to do certain actions. Take a peek when you can.
Early Version of Story Map added. Only Contains links for Prologue right now. Not final, not finished. Take a peek if you want. Story Map is a accumulative Progression System that tracks which section of the game you played ACROSS SAVES. During development the story map will help us show you late game content without having to have you play through less polished Sections of the game.
Prologue Refactor 3: Stream is currently skipped in preparation of a game design upgrade. You can already see the first portion of this when checking out the players monitor and the new stream overlay. It is interactive and will lead to a new interesting gameplay loop to make the stream watching more fun / engaging / less "sit and watch this"-esk.
Tons and tons and tons of backend changes. Just give the game a whirl when you can to let us know how your frames are looking. We expect mixed feedback but it should be better OVERALL than previously when it comes to performance.
A lot of changes were done to sandbox. Early Showcase of the Interaction System, scroll your mouse wheel when in Sandbox to choose from different ways to interact with characters. I will write a more complete list of changes related to Sandbox in a separate post soonTM.
Known Issues:
You may fall through the ground on loading. If that happens let us know immediately.
Some older saves will not work anymore. Thats why we added the story map and will keep updating that system with new starting points to start the game off from.
Chapter 2 still needs more polish after the code refactor to bring its design solutions up to speed with the current state of production.
If you find bugs, please let us know <3
Thanks a lot for your support and patience, looking forward to fill you up with more content and less code related updates very soon!!! :3 :3 :3
