🎉 MindWare Version 0.3.10 (Public Release)
MindWare 0.3.10 is out for everyone. This update brings two new storylines. It also includes the biggest bug-fixing pass the game has had so far, and a handful of new settings.
Xavier's Cyber Dreams quest: Xavier has noticed that Drake pays Cyber Dreams far more commission than anyone else, and he wants to know what BrainFry is getting in return. That means staying late at BrainFry after everyone has gone home, sneaking into the server room, going through Drake's desk and his computer, and finding out what BrainFry actually does with all that customer data. Xavier also has his own way of making sure you stay motivated. Xavier's message arrives a few days after the Aegis Stage 2 brain scan, once Trix is out of jail, and the quest ends when you tell him what HEATMAP is.
Nurse Amy: If you completed the hidden camera job ("Find the Creep in the Women's Toilets"), you may remember how Amy promised you a free health checkup to say thanks. Now you can take her up on it: tell the Panacea receptionist that Amy sent you, and Amy takes care of you personally in exam room four. Be warned that she is very thorough, and some samples can't be collected with a swab.
Also new is Yuki's second Stage 2 chat message.
For supporters, I have finally added a bunch of new avatar sets, a new avatar picker with a preview of all five body stages, and the ability to more conveniently provide your own pictures to use as a Custom avatar set.
After being impressed by its capabilities, I let Opus 5.5 go through the whole game, area by area, looking for bugs. It found and fixed a lot of issues nobody had reported before, such as scenes that could be lost by leaving them partway, rewards and costs that applied twice after loading a save, buttons that could trigger twice, Go Back buttons that took you to the wrong place, and sounds that kept playing after you left a scene. Supporters have been testing these fixes across the last two betas, so I hope this is the most stable public release so far. If something is broken, please use the in-game bug report button so I get your save.
Other changes in this update:
Minigame difficulty: choose it when you create your character and change it at any time in Settings.
Text Speed: a slider in Settings makes fading and typed text appear up to four times faster.
Stop interface animations: a Settings option stops the pulsing Synapse Steady VX brain, its blinking warnings and the glitching title logo.
City map: places that are closed today are greyed out and show their opening days.
Images: click a scene image to view it larger.
Small conveniences: task notifications name the task, a popup next to your money shows what you just earned or spent, and you name your saves in the Saves dialog.
Downloads page:playmindware.com/downloads for the full offline archive (about 4.03 GB), the HTML-only update, and a 177 MB incremental update for players who have an unmodified 0.3.9 Public Hotfix 1 folder

Fixed: GitGud buttons no longer trigger twice, so Xavier's special visit and his reaction to the truth work as intended

Fixed: Sending Ray the taxi video and visiting Trix in jail before the same night no longer skips the second transformation dream and Jessica's first day at BrainFry, and saves from before 0.3.6 no longer lose Ray's taxi video chat
Fixed: The latex maid scene now remembers when you let go at the hospital
Fixed: When Chapter 1 starts late, Trix's weekend shift is no longer lost to Xavier's break-in request, and her band invitations, her lines about that weekend and the alley dream now come in the right order

In the meantime, I will keep expanding whichever questline interests me most at the moment, with Trix high on the list.

🎉 MindWare Version 0.3.9 (Public Release)
MindWare 0.3.9 is now out publicly for everyone. The main new content in this update is Ray's feminizing-pill quest, which can be approached in two different ways. You can either swap his COLOSSAL JOLT for harmless magnesium capsules, a placebo that's intended to just take the booster out of his system, or you can listen to AVA and go all the way with estrogen pills.
If you have followed the game for a while, you may remember the Panacea psychiatrist. Her content was cut about a year ago, and it returns in this update in an edited form that, I believe, fits the main story better. To meet the psychiatrist, you need to take the feminization route with Ray.
There are currently three appointments with the psychiatrist available in the game. They include a reworked version of the original "babecock" minigame, which is now more interactive.
Besides Ray's feminizing-pill quest, you can also apply to become a HiveClean employee. There's an online form and an aptitude test, followed by an interview in person at the new Hive Properties HQ. To access this content, you need to have finished the second complementary service with the HiveClean maid (or the bonus path you get for turning her down). A few days later, HiveClean emails you about their expansion, and your name is apparently on their list. The questline currently ends after the interview, and the maid training itself is what I'm building next.
Other changes in this update:
Trix's apartment: repeat visits now include a conversation about her transition and your hidden connection to AVA, once the supply-closet storyline at BrainFry is over.
Countdown badges: tasks that wait on a date now show the days remaining in the task panel.
Aegis fixes: Scan 2 no longer completes before its story has finished, and an unfinished results visit can be resumed from the hideout. Both repairs work on older saves.
Navigation: required chats can no longer be escaped with the history buttons.
Fetish notifications have a cleaner card design.
Bug tracker got a security pass, and the supporter privacy policy was updated.
Dozens of smaller fixes and typo corrections from the last two months of bug reports.
Downloads page:playmindware.com/downloads for the full offline archive (about 3.86 GB), the HTML-only update, and a 17 MB incremental update for supporters who have an unmodified 0.3.9 Release Candidate folder

Fixed: Required Instant Messenger conversations can no longer leave the player locked out after using navigation history
Fixed: Saves that stopped at the earlier Panacea placeholder can now resume the Ray route by booking the psychiatrist through the nurse
Fixed: A stable first-appointment test is now described as inconclusive instead of incorrectly confirming gender dysphoria
Fixed: Confronting Reek now requires a full ten-pill supply of Bliss and consumes exactly ten pills

Fixed: Corrected typos across several scenes
What's Next
My main priority right now is making the next physical body change stage available, so that's what I'm focusing on. Unfortunately, there's a lot of cleanup and prep work that has to happen first for it to work well, but I'm getting there, slowly but surely.
At the same time, I'll keep expanding whichever questline or activity in the game interests me the most at the moment. You can find my broad, occasionally updated to-do list here: https://subjunctivegames.com/todo
Thank you for playing, and thank you to my supporters for making it possible. Enjoy the update!
There is no new story content in these hotfixes. They focus on safer backups, smaller saves, accurate release notices, and more reliable online services. Details below.
Hotfix 2
Save/Load and Settings now explain how to download backup files to, hopefully, make it clearer how to keep important progress outside browser storage. Long-running saves are smaller because built-in dream, avatar, TV, and shower media are no longer copied into every history step, while active dreams and PeekStream special requests now keep only the compact information needed to resume. Older saves upgrade automatically when loaded.
Hotfix 2 also introduced the redesigned main-menu logo (more about it in a separate post soon) and corrected the update notice that briefly advertised an unfinished version, which was not available to download.
Hotfix 3
Hotfix 3 strengthens the online services behind supporter access and downloads:
Supporter sign-in and protected downloads now handle repeated requests more reliably.
Online services now reject unexpectedly large requests.
Cloud service checks now match the configured Worker runtime more closely.
Upcoming Content Release
The next content release is planned for early next week and will begin the next stage of the HiveClean latex-maid storyline.
You’ll be able to apply through HiveCleaning’s corporate recruitment portal, read its suspiciously dense terms and conditions, and complete a multi-part suitability assessment that becomes increasingly unconventional. Successful applicants will be invited to continue the process in person, which is where the real fun begins.
The HiveCleaning recruitment content update will be the last one in the series of Latex Maid content updates for some time, so other storylines get some much-needed attention.

🔧 MindWare 0.3.8 Public Hotfix 1
Several players have recently reported that MindWare is running out of space for saves and other game data on their devices, which is what prompted this "emergency" hotfix.
As you may know, MindWare is built with Twine and SugarCube, which stores browser saves in an area called localStorage. That space is usually only around 5 MB for an entire site, although the exact limit varies by browser.
I was always aware that MindWare would eventually begin pressing against the localStorage limit, but I made the problem much worse by letting some tracking lists grow indefinitely and by storing bulky chat, media, and notification data that the game could reconstruct. SugarCube copied that waste into the recent-history snapshots inside every autosave and manual save.
I've burned a lot of midnight oil building proper fixes for the issues mentioned above over the last few days. Older saves will automatically upgrade when loaded, and the next time they are saved they will use the compact format. Future saves will stay smaller, and player-written notes will be preserved. A new Storage tab will show a rough usage estimate and break down what is taking the space. If storage fills up during a save, MindWare will offer export, cleanup, and retry options; its cleanup tools will never silently choose a manual save to delete.
While addressing that problem, I also fixed a larger collection of save-loading, progression, mobile-layout, and settings issues:
Saves will reliably load back into the passage where they were made, and *Go Back* will no longer loop through the loading screen.
Several stuck or reappearing quest states will repair themselves, including the malware-cleanup payout and an obsolete reminder that could block sleeping.
Mobile layouts, music-volume settings, Notes, the malware-cleanup display, and the bug-report window will all receive smaller fixes and improvements.
There is no new story content in this one (that's coming later this week), but it should make long-running saves much safer. Since this hotfix touches a larger number of important things, there's a high chance that hotfix 2 or even 3 will arrive shortly after. Hopefully not, but we'll see.
Thanks to everyone who sent bug reports and saves 🖤

🎉 MindWare Version 0.3.8 (Public Release)
MindWare 0.3.8 is now out publicly for everyone. The headline is the HiveClean latex maid arc, which is where most of this version went: the maid now shows up for appointments with a complementary service attached, and there are three separate sessions to find depending on what you do. On top of that there's a new EroSphere glory booth earning route, the next steps in the Aegis and Yuki threads, and a lot of work under the hood.
The HiveClean content gets a lot bigger
Once the HiveClean maid has cleaned your apartment enough times, a new checkbox appears on the Hive Properties booking site, and the maid starts turning up for appointments that include a complementary service.
Two of those sessions are in. Finishing one unlocks it as a replay, so you can go back to it once there's nothing new left in that thread, and the second service can be requested again from later bookings. There's also a third bonus path that only opens if you turn her down.
Smaller updates instead of a 3.7 GB download
The downloads page can now hand you an incremental update rather than the whole archive. If you already have an exact, unmodified copy of the previous build, the update package contains only the files that genuinely changed, which is roughly 55 MB instead of 3.7 GB for this specific release.
A new way to earn at the glory booth
The EroSphere glory booth now has Mouth and Genitals earning options, and you can run more than one service in a single session for a combined bonus.
The Aegis story moves forward
Aegis picks up with the Stage 3 results visit, a new dream on the first night after the firmware installation visit, and a Cipher chat about how the deal is going.
Yuki's storyline continues
Yuki's Stage 2 messages start on their own, one to three days after her Stage 1 arc finishes. She's decided that what happened between you is a standing arrangement now. Where it goes depends on how you answer her.
It's one conversation so far. Most of the effort went into the staging and trigger scripts underneath it, so the next messages in her arc will come much faster now that the wiring is done.
Under the hood
A large chunk of this release went into things you should only notice by their absence. Minigames, story sequences, hypno audio, overlays, and timed scenes no longer keep running in the background after you've left them, which is what used to make long sessions get progressively heavier. Content Maps and several long-running activities are smoother for the same reason.
Supporter sign-in now handles edge cases better, recovers more cleanly when a service is temporarily down, always returns you to the official MindWare site, offers a direct re-verification button when your pass has expired, and no longer leaves the portal sitting on "Verifying" after it has already worked.
If you're playing on a site that isn't mine, the game now says so clearly and explains that videos and other media are likely to be broken there, with links to the real thing. I added this because a steady share of the bug reports I get turn out to be third-party hosting sites rewriting the game's code, not bugs in MindWare, with broken videos being the usual symptom.

Fixed: Stray tag text no longer appears in the Find the Creep in the Women's Toilets job description
What's Next
The plan I set out during the betas still stands: I want to take the maid arc to the point where the main character gets the chance to earn some side income as a maid. That's the next thing I'm building.
After that, there's a Chapter 2 backlog with many quest branches to advance before we reach Chapter 3.
Thank you for playing, and thank you to my supporters for making it possible. Enjoy the update!

🔧 MindWare Version 0.3.7 (Public Hotfix 3)
Hey everyone! Here's another hotfix for issues reported after the 0.3.7 public release. I meant to release it on Friday (and I actually updated the online version that day), but then I decided to delay the release of the downloadable version until Monday to give bug reports more time to accumulate. Two new bugs were reported over the weekend, and this release fixes both + everything else since Hotfix 2:
BrainFry should no longer trap you because of low action points. If you woke up with too little energy but still had mandatory BrainFry work to do, the game could block both work and leaving. BrainFry work is still mandatory before you leave, but it now starts even with low AP. Having less AP means fewer attempts in the work minigame, instead of getting stuck.
The GitGud hidden-cam sniffer no longer blocks leaving when you cannot afford it yet. The sniffer purchase still stays available, but it is no longer treated like urgent work that traps you inside the shop.
The Panacea hidden-camera scanner should be much easier to complete, including on mobile. The target is now reachable on very short and small mobile screens, where it previously could never lock, and the scanner gives clearer feedback when you are close and when the signal locks. If it still will not lock after a few tries, a "proceed anyway" button now appears so you can never get stuck.
Opening the character profile right after the post-hospital transformation no longer loops you back through the change. Pressing back from the profile now returns you to where you were instead of replaying the transformation scenes.
A stuck AVA dream save should recover properly now. Older partial saves could resume the DreamWebP minigame with missing or non-dismissible images. The game now rebuilds the missing AVA dream config safely when possible.
Supporter activation and protected-content loading got more safety checks. This should reduce edge cases where activation or content installation fails in a confusing way.
The downloads are also packaged more clearly now. The complete download contains the versioned HTML file plus assets, while the HTML-only download contains only the new HTML file plus a README explaining that assets are not included.
If you already have the full 0.3.7 local release folder, you can use the HTML-only download: copy mindware-Version 0.3.7 (Public Hotfix 3).html into the same folder as imgs, audio, and vendor, then open the new HTML file.
If you are downloading the game fresh, use the complete package.
I think the public release is now in a good enough shape for me to focus entirely on content creation again, so that I can give you a new content update soon!
