Maids & Masters v0.15.1 Release

It's time for a big ol' love shack update. A few other things got updated as well (along with a change I've been going back and forth on for a while), but nothing too major. Details are in the change log:

Fixed a bug that caused a door in the Stebbing Estate to go from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor.
Fixed a number of bugs where skills meant only for combat were usable outside of combat.
Fixed a bug that may cause combat with a rat to trigger when importing a save from Arrival.
Fixed a bug that could cause Emily’s arrival event to not trigger when teleporting home.
Fixed a bug that caused June and Chloe to appear in the war room before being recruited.
Fixed a bug that prevented Mysterious Murder from being added to the task list.
Fixed a bug that could cause the Bancroft dinner event to restart during questioning.
Fixed a bug that caused the first animation in Katrina’s third scene to not play correctly.
Fixed a bug that may cause Vendra’s fireside images to not correctly display her pregnancy.
Updated the age gate question to be more clear about why the README is important.
Updated XP values for boss enemies to be higher.
Updated the nameplate outside the empty room to update when the room is no longer empty.
Updated some of Summer’s face portraits to better match what she’s saying.
Updated the Trophy Codex to use a variable that won’t affect static random events.
Updated Heavy Strike to have the same cost as its counterpart, Warded Strike.
Updated Love Shack interactions to give two affection points instead of one.
Removed the “end of version” message that was mistakenly left in from v0.14.
Various other minor dialogue and event updates.

Maids & Masters (& A Release Date For v0.15.1)

I've already announced this to my Patrons, but after some consideration, I've decided to break up v0.15.1 into two different updates. v0.15.1 will have all of the love shack content, which is six (technically seven) characters worth of fireside chats and bonus scenes. The reason it's only technically seven is that the seventh character will have her love shack content completed in the update, but she isn't available to recruit until v0.16. 

 

That means all the affection quests will be waiting for v0.15.2, which should be an amount of content similar to the Freeze updates. There might be a few quests that will need to wait for v0.16 or another side content update, but in the long run, I'm planning on having each Maid having three affection quests. I'm hoping I'll be able to find room to fit in everything I want to fit in without needing to delay content much.

On that note, because v0.15.1 will largely just be the love shack content plus a few other smaller updates, the release is more or less ready to go. There are still a few things I need to polish up or find a good way to include, but that won't take much work to get sorted out. That means release day for v0.15.1 will be this Friday, May 17.

If you're interested a little more than early access, there's also a poll on Patreon where you can vote for which image will be used to promote the update and serve as the cover image on itch.

Shilling For My Fellow Devs - The Second r/GoodAdultGaming Bundle

While I'm still plugging away at the love shack content for v0.15.1, here's a bundle of adult games (that includes the early access version of Precious Kouhai) celebrating 1000 members of the r/GoodAdultGaming subreddit, which is run by a developer friend of mine.

The bundle is paid, but in addition to supporting a bunch of small indie devs, you're getting the paid versions of all the games that have them plus a few extras, bringing the total value of the bundle closer to $100 for your money.
