The corruption side of Chapter 2-B finds it finale in this update! You have probably already seen it, but this month's update is all about crossing the last meters to towards the finishing line of Chapter 2-B in the real world side by finally getting to the first sex scene between Aura and Richard. 

In numbers, we have 1 new H-CG, new slime character artwork, new variations for two H-CGs, 2 new boss fights, 4 new corruption scenes, among them 2 new lewd scenes, 2 new quests, new mental changes, and bunch of other improvements! As usual, for the detailed updates, I refer to the weekly devlog posts. Here I want to mostsly summarize them a bit.

In the real world we have a bunch of very meaty scenes, that lead to the end of Chapter 2-B. I won't be spoiling anymore about them, except that you will be able to remove the guardian at the end and proceed to Chapter 3. Most important to note here, I integrated the H-CGs for Aura's and Richard's sex scene yesterday, so you can immediately enjoy the scene with CGs!

Then, we also have the remaining progress in the lewd streaming event chain where Aura now masturbates live on-screen. That one will take a while until gets illustrated I expect, buuut on the other hand, Emubi also created some variations for older CGs that allowed me to illustrate some more scenes. The second Rose and Richard sex scene now has H-CGs with Rose in her gyaru outfi and then in Roya, Roland 5 has also received illustrations with the blowjob cg getting a titjob variation.

Then our assistant developer Trihan implemented the second Roland quest, where you are given some more opportunities to investigate some fishy occurrences in Trademond and in the course of doing so, end up with some more corrupt options to threaten and blackmail people.

Staying in Roya, we have also a batch of progress in the in-progress Reverse Summoning Ritual event. It's still incomplete so be careful if you want to check out the content! Also I literally just finished the fight against the Bandit King Lysander in there, and have yet to balance pretty much anything. :'D Also that boss fight in particular is very... um...... Well, Lysander does have a Divine Gift so expect a lot of bullshit. :'D When you check it out you will see what I mean, I still need to test out if the strategies that are supposed to work against him actually do, especially since there is still one helpful element missing in the area. Well, anyways, happy dying! 

And I believe those cover the main changes. Besides that we have a lot of small improvements, like a new BGM that's used for high corruption sex scenes - Currently just Richard and Aura, as well as Aura and Roland. There's of course also the new elemental slime character artwork. Also the Richard lever in the mental world becomes available after the sex scene with him, offering a pretty good way to dump a larger amount of corruption. If you check out your skill menu, you will also find new passive skills for each real world main character, providing Aura with various modifiers based on the relationship values.

Aaaand I think that covers most of the changes. I think there is a lot of little stuff that I forgot to talk about, but overall that should cover the main changes. Have fun with the update and see you early next week for the next project plan update!
