Content:

  • New Character: Mary-Lou the Cow Girl
  • 3 New scenes for Riley
  • 2 New Scenes for Helena, and you can now visit her house
  • 22 New morning microscenes across the whole cast (don't appear in gallery!)

Other changes:

  • New character models and expressions for Cayenne and Riley
  • New preferences menu added in the settings, currently allows you to toggle vegetarian/carnivore modes, and separates carnivore mode so people who don't like femboys can still have dickgirls
  • Added selectors for the system character genders to the new preferences menu
  • Music and sound now use volume sliders instead of buttons

Fixes:

  • Changed the app logo to ST instead of the old SV
  • Fixed Helena's logbook checking the wrong character

Known issues:

  • Toggling feral content in the preferences currently does nothing, since it's meant to work with the new cards I haven't implemented yet.
  • Some content (like the foxes) is still reliant on carnivore/vegetarian mode, instead of the more specfic fetish toggles in the preferences menu. I'll need to rewrite the scenes which use those checks for v6.

This update ended up being way more veggie-heavy than expected due to Mary-Lou. Because adding the pregnancy-focused character without any pregnancy content would have been very silly, I completed not only her intro but all the way to being invited to her house.

There's a ton of areas where I've started dabbling, but am not far enough in that I can actually add content. So:

Upcoming content:

  • Bluebell needs a new model the most of the remaining old model cast, so she'll probably be one of the main characters of v6.
  • The new cards and card system need more work, so I reverted back to the old Pocketmanz cards. All the new palcards are in the game files in the neocards folder in the images.
  • I want to have future Helena scenes take place on a second tour of the town, but that's a fair bit of work to actually fill out what you'll do when touring around with her. So she's got a few scenes waiting for me to implement them.
  • I worked up a prototype of the digging minigame from pokemon gen 4 and have been brainstorming exactly what to have you find in them:

  • Aranom from the discord was playing with Wan2.1, an image-to-video model some Syrup Town scenes a shot. They posted their workflow so if I can get it working myself maybe animating the game is in the cards? Especially since Wan2.2 just released, here's two of the shots they posted:
  • I made it for myself to avoid all the lag on mobile when trying to use Stable Diffusion over a network, so I made my own UI to bypass needing to use Gradio:

And all this in addition to all the other things on my to-do list, hoo boy! Lots to do, lots to do! I don't have a lot of experience writing pregnancy, so please feel free to give suggestions for Mary-Lou scenes.

Riley's new content is a pretty good example of how characters will get new content, a short sidequest full of nonlinear scenes. And finally, I wanted to put the new morning scenes into the gallery but given they're very short, only appear randomly, and I may make the hot morning ones only appear in the summer and do seasonal stuff, I kept them out of it. If you'd prefer I do something different with them, lemme know!
