Dungeon crawling and lewds! That is the name of the game this month. In the past months, there was only minor new content in Roya; this time we have a rather big wave in the fantasy world! To start off the summary with numbers as usual we have 3 new dungeon levels, making up the Central Lake Underwater dungeon, 6 new lewd scenes, 3 corruption scenes (2 of them being among the new lewd scenes!), 1 new mental change, 2 new perversion passives 1 new minor H-CG, and a bunch of other minor stuff like a new Star Knightess costume and a new theme soundtrack along with it, and minor more minor additions!

The new underwater dungeon will most likely kill you as it's the difficult alternative to just doing the Disbanded Crew and paying your way to the North. But going into the depths also gives access to a lot materials and you can even find a new formula down there!

To start the new Roya lewd scenes, visit the Magic Academy in the west of Verdeaux! The city is still pretty life less, but there's already a lot you can do here. Partcipiate in the Special Study to skip the massive enrollment costs while also gaining a powerful magic bonus! In addition to all that, Aura will also receive an "Upgrade" in her attitude that will make Aura seek out a certain Expert Rank Adventurer from the Festival ;)

On the real world side, we have 3 new events that follow-up on the Character Orb corruption mental change. Aura is slowly turning more and more appreciative of guys, even if she cannot stand their personality. The scenes also include new Richard interactions. For the lewd parts, one of them continues the Aura Masturbating at home sequence while the other one is also a masturbating event, but not quite at home. The cheerleading activities get Aura a bit hot. :'D

For the new mental change, we have the vulgar speech mental change, which may sounds more impressive than it is. It just performs some simple speech subsitutions where Aura drops euphemisms such as "special place" in favor of directly saying pussy. Same for stuff like "manhood" which becomes "cock".

On the technical side, we have a new menu overhaul, this time for the shopping menu! There are still some todo's as I don't like the position of the number of owned itmes.

On the art side, you have seen today, Emubi managed to finish one last minor CG, a cut-in for the Homewrecking 1 scene.

Aaand that's where I will leave the post for now. I just came home from a long train-ride and still have a bunch of minor items for my move to work down on. Like I mentioned, a lot more details on the development can be found in the weekly devlog posts! Have fun with the update, oh, and be careful with the Special Study, Roland currently only has 1 non-repeat event, so you might have to suffer from a pretty big -willpower check for some time :'D

I don't know how responsive I will be over the next week, as internet will be turned off at my old flat on March first and before that my old flat will get painted, so we will see.
