The first progress report of the year, I'm cautiously excited for what I plan to get done these next few months. So since the last build release I've begun work on Re-adding Samara, Treu and Dr.Midday into the new combat system with some minor changes.

I want to cover that and the additional content restorations for the next build, so I'll start with the girls.

My main focus has of course been adding the other playable characters back into the game. For the most part the girls function the same in teams, with adjustments to their abilities.

Starting with Samara, she can still summon The Articulate Fighter into battle, provided the party isn't full.

The Articulate Fighter summon won't have her alternate twilight form anymore that was used primarily for support, but she will still be subject to most sex attacks.
 
Samara's Twilight state has been replaced with her Serferus Transformation that'll greatly enhance her supportive abilities and improve her capacity to take sex attacks without fainting.

This Form will gradually drain Samara's resolve however, and will have a chance to make enemies horny and trigger more h-attacks as a result.

Additionally Samara now has a passive ability that causes any single hit attack that would defeat her to instead leave her at 1 Energy.

Treu is very similar to her initial gameplay incarnation. Besides a minor change in her maid outfit, Treu will now be able to switch from her Bow, to her Umbrella Rapier stance.

The Umbrella stance will enable Support, more AOE and State affliction, while her Bow stance will enable strong, single target attacks.

Dr.Midday has had the least changes, working almost exactly as she did before, focusing on defense debuffs and ally attack buffs. Her primary weapon of choice instead is now an arm cannon she'll equip only in battle.

As a small note, I've mentioned before that Lilith's castle is being expanded and I've begun work on that for this build as well. The extra spaces and areas will be used for more NPCs and events to interact with.

I've also been working on re-adding the baths with updated art. Now when you enter the baths, anyone else in your party will join you and appear in the background, allowing you to interact with them while you buff yourself.

They'll also be subject to ambushes alongside you. Bathing spots will appear in the dungeons now, during Liminal exploration.

Lastly, I realized the actual development of the game isn't very clear, at least in terms of what order I'm working on things. So I put together a simple roadmap for at least the next few build milestones I'm working toward right now.

Hopefully this'll give at least a general idea of what I'm doing and in what order.

That's about it for this update post, there's plenty of art I need to work through so the next update post should be toward the end of February. Until then, take care everyone, and thank you as always for playing the game, your support and patience!
