Hello everyone!

As some of you might know I've been looking for an assisting writer for quite some time now to allow me to focus on the programming aspects of the game while still getting out new sex scenes at a reasonable phase. I'm happy to announce that Limbo has joined the team and has already been working hard on several scenes for you guys to enjoy!

He's previously added a lot of chapters to the original "Cracking" Chyoa under the name of "Cracked_Subject" so if you want a taste of his works then I'd highly recommend going there and giving them a look: https://chyoa.com/chapter/Visitor-Center.712416

Cracking Version 0.3.10

New Imagery:

• Added new imagery depicting the Kitchen in the Hotel in Chapter 1.

Chapter 3:

• When sending out units for Raids and Scouts, the distance to the target town will be taken into consideration and dictate how long it will take until completion. The amount of time taken is dictated by the slowest unit type sent on the mission.
• Added a speed variable to all infected types.
• Added a new sex scene with Sarah (Dominant)
• Security and Panic dropping over time is now vissible highlighted through notifications in the sidebar.
• Updated the Scouting screen to use the same format as the Raid screen.
• Rewards are now properly separated by commas for more clarity.

Other:

• Fixed hyperagility and spores displaying as "wounded" even after healing.
• Added Subscribestar link to the credits section.
• Fixed a bug causing a "phantom save" to sometime appear upon starting the game.
• Added clarification to the save menu noting that Chapter 3 is not supported yet.
• Temporarily disabled the options menu as it wasn't working properly except in rare cases.
• Updated the formating for the various save states.

Cracking Version 0.3.9

Added a save feature for Chapter 1 and 2:

• Can currently save up to 15 different save files at once.
• Currently limited to Chapter 1 and 2. Support for Chapter 3 will be added in a future patch (not the next one, currently undecided when).
• Feedback greatly appreciated in case of bugs.

New Imagery:

• Added new imagery depicting the Restaurant in the Hotel.

Chapter 3:

• Raids found through scouting will now be growing gradually harder as your horde grows. This should increase the amount of raids possible to pass and hopefully prevent you from getting stuck with tons of raids too hard to pass.
• Improved the rewards listings so they are easier to read.
• Raids can now change town panic and security as part of their rewards.
• Improved the layout of the Raid Deployment window.
• Units can now be lost during raids (both failed and successful). The amount lost is based on the difficulty rating of the raid in relation to the total strength of the units sent. Some raids are naturally more dangerous than others.

Chapter 1:

• Updated the Restaurant scene to better match the new imagery.

Other:

• Added an options menu allowing you to switch between full screen and windowed mode as well as altering the FPS limit if needed (default 60). (NOTE: This edition of the options menu seems to be bugged for most PC's. It's been fixed in 0.3.11, sorry for the inconvenience :S)

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug causing raids to always fail when the raiding strength was lower than the stated difficulty, it's now always possible to succeed a raid if you send units whose total strength are at least 50% of the target raid's difficulty rating (albeit at a low chance), which gradually goes up the closer you get to 100%).
• Fixed a bug causing the Raid Window to occasionally close down when modifying the amount of infected/forcers sent.

Cracking Version 0.3.8b

Remade the Tactical Overview screen to an interactive overhead map with better visual clarity:

• All Scout and Raid reports are now displayed through the sidebar notifications rather than through their own separate menus.
• Removed the "Risk Rating" from available raids, risk is now only calculated using the "Difficulty" value of each raid.
• Raids will now always succeed if you send units with higher total combined strength than the difficulty indicates, no more failures when sending 10000 strength hordes against missions with 8000 difficulty rating. Note that there's still a chance to fail when sending less units than required which exponentially goes up the lower the total strength is in relation to the raid difficulty rating.
• Difficulty is now calculated using the raids basic difficulty rating, the town's panic, the towns security and the towns population .
• Negente and the new Town Gatlingburg can now both be Scouted and Raided just like Tanisava.
• Added notifications for when you send out Scouts and Raids with information about what you units were sent and to where.
• Notifications will now show up in different colors to indicate success or failure.
• Named all raids, no more "Temp Raid X"

New Scenes:

• Added a new sex scene with Sarah in Ch 3, it can be accessed by talking to him and selecting "Submissive".

Other:

• Various optimization and spell checking.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug causing the "Total Intel" to display incorrectly if the player had max intel.

0.3.8b:

• Fixed a game breaking bug causing raids to not generate rewards properly

Cracking Version 0.3.7

New Imagery:

• Added new imagery for the Hotel
• Added new imagery for the Hotel Room
• Added new imagery for the Hotel Entrance

New Scenes:

• Added a new sex scene with Lucas in Ch 3, it can be accessed by talking to him and selecting "Dominant". There will be a submissive scene as well as one of each for Sarah as well.
• Rewrote and restructured the Hotel in Ch 1 to go better with the new images, further changes to the area will be added as more images are finished.

Other:

• Added a notification sidebar that highlights things such as changes during the night, upgrading buildings/research and rewards from raids
• Added a new tooltip which will be used to clarify what stuff does. Input on what people would like to see it used on is appreciated
• Added a visible number for the base strength values of various types of infected in the Encyclopedia (visible after said unit has been upgraded)
• Smoothed out the scrolling effects to make the game look less choppy

Bugfixes:

• Fixed bug causing the rewards of a raid to be revealed even on a failed raid

Cracking Version 0.3.6

Fully implemented an updated Research System with the following features:

• Improve your various types of Infected (including yourself!) and even unlock new types in the future. The current research available are the following:
• Experimental Research - Produce scientific materials in exchange for a handful of infected (Sarah is spooky at times :O)
• Guidance Pheromones - Improve increase the amount of units you're able to send on raids
• Infected Muscle Density - Improve the combat power of the Infected during raids
• Infected DNA Manipulation - Increases Forcer birthrate
• Forcer Cell Structure - Improve the combat power of Forcers during raids
• Forcer Deductive Reasoning - Improve the reconnaissance capabilities of Forcers during scouting missions
• Broodmother Fertility - Increases Infected birthrate
• Broodmother Scent Glands - Improve the combat power of Broodmothers during raids
• As more units are added a bit down the line you will be able to unlock and improve those as well. (The coding is already done, they just need to be properly implemented through the story)

Bugfixes:

• Limited game framerate to 60fps to prevent the game from spiking on certain machines
• Fixed bug allowing you to enter negative numbers when scouting, raiding or modifying breeding
• Fixed a bug causing max leveled buildings to read as "not enough materials" rather than "MAX"

Other:

• A notable change in this patch is the change to Raiding as the amount of units are now tied to your guidance pheromones levels, be sure to keep upgrading it in order to be able to tackle the higher difficulty raids .

Finally, thanks to everyone for being so patient with the start of chapter 3. This release marks the full implementation of all core systems into the game (Raiding, Scouting, Building, Researching) and as such starting from next patch I'm going to be focusing more on adding more lewd stuff which I know is the main reason you're here! ^

Cracking Version 0.3.5b

Fully implemented a Town Overview/Buildings system with the following features:

• Upgrade and construct new buildings in order to expand the infected town of Axilton, providing you with new tools and passive bonuses. The current buildings are the following:
• Headquarters - Your main building, upgrade to increase the max level of all other buildings.
• Laboratory - Improve and unlock new research projects and units (Laboratory functionality will be added in 0.3.6)
• Storage Facility - Increases the maximum amount of materials you can hoard.
• Breeding Chambers - Increases the amount of Broodmothers you can house.
• Scavenging Post - Generates passive Raw materials every day.
• Milking Facility - Generates passive Organic materials every day.
• Each building can currently be upgraded to level 5 and additional structures will be added in the future. (Note that most of the numbers used for upgrade costs etc are preliminary only and will be tweaked over time)

Bugfixes:

• The game now properly registers that you've acquired a second Symbiote after infecting Lucas.
• The various input boxes now properly nulls/empties between screens, preventing the player from being able to send more Infected and Forcers than available.
• Fixed a bug which caused a black screen after entering the Gas Station from the front in Chapter 1.

• Added a restart button
• Improved visual clarity of the Cracked Types Encyclopedia
