In Her Own Hands, v. 0.8.1 FINAL (Announcement) (Patreon)

Finally managed to put the finishing touches on this update. As I mentioned last week, it is a little bit smaller than anticipated due to some real-life delays. But it does take a big leap forward with the next phase of Shaun's path.

There are two new scenes that take place after the relationship with Shaun has progressed to a "roommates with benefits" situation. One of them is a long-planned scene with Shaun in the gym. Several people noted that Shaun never went to the gym in the last update. That was a major oversight on my part----in the course of updating all of the code in 0.8.0, I accidentally broke the part where you could work out in the gym with Shaun when he was working out. I have now fixed it and added a new repeatable scene that will optionally trigger after you have slept with him a few times.

The second, longer scene takes place in the club and introduces a new character that will take this into a new direction. There is only one scene with him so far, and it is not repeatable yet, but we may see him even more the next time we visit this path. Of course, there will always be the option not to pursue him, and things may still move forward with Shaun in future updates without the new guy.

Both of these are also a big step forward for me as a writer. Unlike some of the sex scenes in In Their Own Hands, these are fully narrated. This was the last part of taking over the writing that I was still insecure about. But hopefully the writing I did maintained the quality we are all used to. I certainly did my best.

Beyond this, I spent most of my time addressing a number of errors that were reported to me. I also altered a couple of event triggers. For example, one of Abby's dares required you to wear a mini-dress. This is pretty easy to do, if you read English. For non-natve English speakers, though, it may be difficult to distinguish between a mini-dress and a mini-skirt. So I changed it to make either one acceptable. As another example, I also heard from a bunch of people that kept missing the Halloween party, which then caused other events to fail to trigger. First, I changed when Saturday would get locked from the time of the invite to the time of buying the costume. I also added some code that would automatically unlock Saturday first thing Sunday morning if you miss the party. This should solve all of the cascading problems if that one event is missed. If you already attended the Halloween party on your saved game, nothing will change.

This FINAL version also has addressed a number of errors that were reported to me since the release of the alpha version last weekend.

The walkthrough for this update has already been released. Patrons at $9 and above can download it from this link.

Unfortunately, this update will not be able to be played on the old website. The site was being maintained by my former partner and I no longer have access to change it. It looks like version 0.7.0 will continue to be playable online for the foreseeable future, but new updates will have to be downloaded until a better option is available.

I will post separately about the status of the next update of In Their Own Hands.

As always, thanks again for your continued support!
