Version 5.3.0, Scales & Escalation

• The first phase of the Chapter Two conclusion is here! This one is for people with a naga daughter, or an empowered lair faction, in one of their playthroughs. If you don’t have either of those, you might want to wait for our next installment. But there’s a bunch of other cool stuff in this update, so maybe it’s a good time to start a new playthrough?
• To celebrate, we are also 25% off on Steam. Pick up your permanent copy now, while you have the chance!
• Our basic tier on SubscribeStar is now free! Join us if you’d like access to our VA streams, funky Discord perks, and a backup way to stay in touch.
• We are collaborating with Cumkeys on The Party Mascot - a fully animated visual novel, which will be released after Ravager is complete.
• I have been working a lot of nights getting this ready - so, once I know the build is stable, I’m gonna take a couple of weeks off. The next monthly update will arrive as normal, but it’ll be a little more modest than usual.
• MVP of a major update is always tricky to pick out; everyone worked really hard on this one. Special mentions to Undoodle for having made three(!) new pieces of splash art and two hundred(!!) sprite enhancements - as well as Dracomancien for his ardent bug hunting, all the way up to 5am on the night before release.
