Star Knightess Aura Internal Release 0.10.0 (Patreon)

Like every week, grab the latest prerelease at:

Note that this week's prerelease is the 0.10.0 release but 1 day earlier. The public 0.10.0 release will be coming out a couple hours later on saturday.

This week was the mental changes focus week. And as the name suggests, a great number of mental changes and accompanying corruption scenes have been added. In total, we have 7 new mental changes and 8 new corruption scenes! 

The most prominent one is probably the new appearance change for Aura's clothing. Put the compliments Patricia has been gathering to good use to unlock this mental change. Distract Aura from working on her game by installing social media interests! Also remove the second studying book to make it harder for Aura to educate herself with reading in Roya (This change has been counterbalanced by initially making books quicker to read).

I am not sure how clear it has been from the previous scenes, but in the new confrontant scenes betweeen Aura and Rose you can learn quite a lot more about her. Also, watch Alicia and Rose have their first direct face-off since the intro!

With this we are nearing the completion of Chapter 1. There are only about 5 more mental changes missing and about <15 Corruption scenes. I need to reassess next week which scenes I really want to implement, but I think this is perfectly doable by 0.11.0.

On anther note, I have also already started work on 0.11.0 to finish the final confrontation with Arwin (The content however is not available yet in the game.) Have a short sneak-peek nonetheless!
