Ravager [v5.1.0]

v5.1.0

Loyalty & Royalty
Faith, Betrothal, and a possible Omen.
It’s here! Version 5.1 completes the main storyline for the first Chapter of our final Act.
In the process of doing so, we’ve cleanly sailed above one million words of dialogue and narration – that’s two Lord Of The Rings trilogies, plus change. Congratulations to my fellow writers, editors, and codesetters!
The astute amongst you will note that a handful of our faction leaders and minor characters don’t have Act V content yet. These are in progress, and will be added before Chapter Two commences. Maybe keep a save behind?
With all this done, I am going on an extremely-needed holiday. Work on patch builds and our next update will continue in my absence, but let’s call September a quiet month.

Tweaks
Darja will only express concern about the logistics of bellyful boinking once per playthrough.
Forcibly undressing Enid has a better sound effect, and smoother transition.
Malagar will not be available in Act V if Darja has been permanently glomped by your daughter.
Malagar’s Act V ambience loops more smoothly.

Fixes
Doing a number on Issa’s drapes during return visits in Act V will no longer cause narrative irregularities.
Mother’s dream will no longer hide the day counter afterwards.
Voice acting has been harmonised with text in many places.
And the many, many, many issues found during playtesting. Thank you to our ‘tester monkeys, and especially to Stuke and Garoompahfah!
