Degrees of Lewdity version 0.2.20.3
This update adds winter, a temperature system, and Christmas celebrations to the orphanage. It also adds a tanning salon to the spa, expands tribadism, expands struggle encounters, and adds new scenes with Robin, among other additions and improvements.
Clothes now have a warmth rating. I wanted to make weather and clothing choice more impactful without being too restrictive. The temperature of individual body parts isn't tracked, so you should be comfortable in most any top and bottom, as long as you wear a warm hat, boots, and mittens. The penalities for being chilly aren't too severe.
Speaking of mittens, hands now have a clothing slot. There are only a couple of options so far, but they should help keep you warm in the snow.
Winter changes the town. Robin starts selling hot chocolate instead of lemonade. The lake freezes over. Swimming is still possible, but more dangerous. I planned to add ice skating as a replacement for the lake's "Hang out" option, but pushed it back for time. I'd also like to give Mason something to do during the winter months. Perhaps involving the lake ruins. Right now they're just hiding from the cold. Let me know what other areas you think should be impacted by colder weather.
Lurkers, wasps and similar creatures have been expanded. They can now implant their spawn in the PC, and there are more options during their encounters, including stroke.
A lot of contributors helped this update, so it's a broad one. I didn't expect to add snowy location images due to how long they take to make, but they add a lot, and there are more to come. Thanks everyone!
Hoping to march the rest of the way to 0.3 early next year. There's one more big update before we're ready though, and I might split it into smaller chunks.
Edit: Updated to 0.2.20.2, fixing bugs and fleshing out the asylum.
Edit 2: Updated to 0.2.20.3, fixing further bugs.
Merry Christmas! I don't think I'll ever get used to people supporting me and my game like this. Thank you. I hope you enjoy the update, and have a wonderful season.

Thank you, have a happy holidays.
You're welcome. I hope you have a happy holiday as well.
Always happy for more Robin interactions! Can't wait to play this update
I hope you like it!
I was wondering if you would consider updating the crime system? currently it's just an ever-increasing number; it takes a while before the police start looking for you but once they do you can never escape them, and submitting to their punishments doesn't reduce your "wanted level"... What are your thoughts on this?
There are two numbers tracked. One determines whether the police will arrest you, and can lead to the pillory. This one can drop. It represents the evidence the police have on you.
The second number won't lead to an arrest, but can't drop, and can lead to harassment events. It represents your criminal history.
That said, improvements are planned, including earlier arrests leading to a lighter punishment than the pillory.
I only recently discovered this treasure and just want to say thanks for this game.
No problem. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Ohh had an idea last night. Eden 'adopts' you from the orphanage and you can take Robin with you to the Forest which unlocks a LOT of three-ways!
Thanks for the idea! That could lead to a lot of interesting scenes.
Plus this way you can plan an 'attack' on Bailey. Heh at the end your character could get a full harem with Eden's house as the main base (which you can eventually upgrade).
