Version 6, Excises & Excesses

• This main plotline update completes Act VI (formerly known as Act V Chapter Two) - and it does so in proper style. With an entire novel’s worth of dragon-on-human (and sometimes other things) action.
• A very warm welcome to Ratatooey, whose gorgeous scene art fills out our gallery as we sprint towards completion.
• MVP of a major update is always impossible to choose - but DoItToJulia’s expert command of her writer-harem is what has allowed us to move our plotline forward so swiftly. She also moonlights as a VA now, isn’t that cool?
• Runner-up spots to Amon Ra, for marshalling our artists so well; to Irrelevant Art, for the deluge of new character art; to GreyScale, for the new scene audio enhancements; and to Tosk, and his elite team of playtester-monkeys, for getting this build ready to share with you all.
