August - Tales of Androgyny v0.2.03.0! (Patreon)

Hope everyone's northern-hemisphere summer has been great, heatwaves and wildfires aside! July was pretty great for us, as we managed to secure new collaborators (there'll be a post about that soon) to help us, we're nearly finished with the original backlog for ToA that we filled out almost two years ago, and we answered some design questions that had been lingering for a while.

We'll get to the content first, since that's the meat and potatoes - we have the lovely wasp lady above and her full encounter, a mysterious vampire hunter lady with an ill-fitting codpiece, the ogre now has a femme counterpart who is still just as terrifying, there are over half a dozen new encounters, large and small, including a doppelganger encounter, a thief encounter, an aggressive harpy encounter, a cultist encounter, another semi-hidden cameo encounter, a stockades scenario for thieving with companions, an expanded Brigand encounter, and some more mini-world map encounters. To make room for these and new encounters, we expanded the world map for the first time in a while, creating a second zone (adjacent to the Giantess' valley map), where a lot of these new encounters are populated.  We've also added a wiggly warlock animation, a new slash animation for combat, Dullahan x Hiro x Dullahan art, and a bunch of new, original music courtesy of A Complete Spiral.

The feature side of things, as we get to the end of the original backlog, is also pretty full and diverse - we added an Ironman mode, which fits the original design of the game as a roguelite. Achievements gained in Ironman count for double, and are recognized as such.  We upgraded the enemy AI in our first major AI revision, so that we can start making the enemies act in more interesting, fun, and balanced ways.  The speaker of a line of dialogue is now displayed, making it easier to follow what's going on, and that same tagging will be used when more than one character is being displayed at a time. We've improved scouting and made it clearer how it should be used, we've made some changes to food that makes it more balanced (foraging will soon be changed completely from its current incarnation to bring it more in line with the original design), we've added enemy levels to start introducing a more robust difficulty curve, and we've added some new abilities to flesh out combat, particularly around oral stances.

We've also made various improvements to the engine, getting us closer to supporting multiple-enemy combat, and even combat between two NPC characters, as well as some data-driven changes that get us closer to modding potential.

For those that have seen the weeklies: the new stuff is new music in the ogre scene and a few other places, the Warlock animation, and world map keyboard controls, along with some various fixes, including fixing disconnected world map zone 2 spawn points that some people were experiencing.

As promised - the Domme update changelog.  Check the Dropbox link tagged posts to find the actual download links!
