All the work for the new update is very close to being finished!
I ended up adding more than what was previously planned in the "Update Roadmap" post. That news update was more of a general outline than a set-in-stone change log.
Anywho,
0.1.14 is more focused on setting up some base mechanics for future detective game-play going forward. The Puzzle in the update is functional but will be relatively easy for two reasons.
1. The puzzle is reliant on ALOT of paper letters, magazines, pictures, etc item assets (most of which arent finished)
2. Its a tutorial puzzle. So there will be some tutorial windows to explain what the hell is happening on your screen.
Lots of future puzzles will be using this new mechanic, so the hand-holding won't be necessary later on. (I like to avoid tutorial windows wherever possible)
In other news about the update
After some consideration, I decided NOT to have Euphy be the star of this update's lewd activities. The last one felt very thrown in and unfinished.
So instead I actually managed to work the lewd scene into the tutorial of the new mechanic being added. This will give you an idea of some of the cool interactions in the over-world you'll be able to make in the future.
So yeah. Expect it to be out real soon!
Here is the current patchnotes for the update. (Spoiler warning)

In Summary
After 0.1.15 the update additions are a little less concise. These will be worked out as we get to them.
For more details and visual teasers feel free to join the game's discord link on the Itch page!
I will try and get another update out sometime before the end of December.
The update will consist of new story content alongside the introduction of the new character!
There will be some lewd scenes, bug fixes, a save conversion system to allow you to bring over the progress from 0.1.10 as well as a dev menu that will ease the implementation process. ( I may add it to a build later on as a kinda cheat menu if people are interested. )
In other news
Network Euphoria's discord server
will open up alongside the update.
The discord will be open to anyone interested in joining.
If you are a patreon or substar supporter you will get access to special channels on top of roles so people can see how cool you are.
The server will better allow me to communicate with everyone about changes, bug reporting, and teasers for upcoming content.
Thank you to Snowys for supporting the game on top of setting up the server for me :)
