Divine Dawn [v0.32] [Cryswar]

0.32

• Sarah got a new lovey thighjob CG, attached to a very… ethereal sort of scene. If you needed a reminder that she’s a succubus, not a normal girl, this is it.
• Sarah also got a new trust scene, with a bit of character development, bonding, and hints for the future. Not all of them are good! Her finalizing her decision to invite Celica for the upcoming library research trip is, though.
• Sarah also got an amusing new conversation, in which you and she discuss Ashley’s viability as the true Demon Queen. Her answer may or may not surprise you.
• Maya got a chonky new affection scene, which has her being almost suspiciously cute when she has her guard down. It also has doggo ear rubs. This is very important.
• Ina trust 4 and 6, delving heavily into Sahuagin lore and her feelings about it. Not all are positive, but it’s a good bonding experience.
• Metatron gets a new trust 18, with a lot of emotions running rampant and a reveal of something that has been bothering her for some time. Robo-angel-wife has been going through a lot, please support her.
• As always, I’ll take a few days off to recuperate and fix bugs as needed, then get to work on the next update. Not sure exactly how long it will take – I don’t wanna do any more giant 2 month updates, so probably more in the 2-4 week range, depends a bit on how much I want to fit in.

• Sam’s actual first time (affection 14), with a massive date, relationship building, special backgrounds, and a new CG courtesy of Aragiken! Watch an unusually fancy aurora with her and realize that you are not immune to tomboy propaganda.
• Sam trust 16, which continues the events from her spar with Metatron and grants her a new Instant.
• Maya affection 8, which has some pretty funny sprite movement and Maya being abnormally honest (sometimes). She’s a very good dog.
• General plot scene, which randomly occurs sometime after Ina joins. Bit of a callback to the scene when you leave on the adventure, with some character development and a fiery new arrival.
• Celica trust 10, which sets up the totally-not-a-date with her and Sarah in the coming updates, and also has our beloved gremlin being vulnerable and cute. She’s always cute.
• Metatron affection 16, which starts off with her asking what it means for a woman to be demure, and kinda goes downhill from there.
• Ina affection 4, in which you and a princess decide how to handle the eventual race war you’re going to start by sleeping around too much.

0.30

• Sarah affection 14, with entirely too much plot relevance to be in a random affection scene
• Maya trust 12, showcasing Maya being less of a gremlin than usual (barely)
• Metatron affection 14, in which Ashley is the MVP
• Metatron conversation 5, further proving that Hieroneiden did nothing wrong
• Ina joining scene (random event in camp, pass time/come back from adventure)
• Ina trust 2. Got wood? She does! I promise that will be vaguely amusing when you read it, but no refunds.
• Ina affection 2. Expect romance, get philosophical debates that get really depressing.
• Ina, Kuril, and Kandros playable. Each has unique traits, some with funky mechanics!
• Abilities are now sorted within an element by school. Martial arts are now color-coded by school as well – if people like it, I can do the same for magic schools.
• Does anyone even want to read ‘assorted bugfixes?’ I feel like every patch notes has them, I never know what they mean, and frankly I don’t even remember what I fixed.

0.28

• A massive combi-scene covering your return to the knight camp after the Deepwoods finale, with some significant plot development and some major callbacks to previous major choices. Also includes Ina being thirstier than usual, which is a feat in and of itself.
• Aspasia 12 and 14 affection scenes, pushing further into friendship and romance with the starstruck slime. Like, astronomy stars, not a metaphor for romance.
• Sarah 10 trust gets moving on her own Rocky training montage, which is unsurprisingly less violent than Ashley’s. Slightly more messed up tho.
• Metatron 10 trust finally starts delving into Metatron’s own martial art, as well as more trauma. That’s gonna be a recurring theme.
• Ashley affection 12 is mostly really wholesome, with a side dish of PTSD. She’s a good girl. Might purr if you pet her.
• Greatsword rework; 4 new traits, a few new support abilities, and several new elemental skills. It’s still probably not as busted as Greataxe, but way safer and plays more into the unstoppable juggernaut vibe.
• Some new music; Selendis and Ina each get their own themes!
• A new knight, with art from alhazart. Same guy who did Kuril, Kandros, Svyatibor, etc.

0.27b

• Aspasia gets 4, 6, 8, and 10 affection scenes, as well as an 8 trust scene setting up future combat upgrades!
• Sam gets a 10 trust scene that lets you somewhat customize her playstyle, helping her synergize with various builds. There’s a much smaller, separate scene in the Training tab that lets you change it at any time while in camp.
• Sarah gets a 12 affection scene that finally reveals one of her Aspects~
• Maya gets an evening hangout/lap pillow scene, unfortunately not involving her lap. She also gets a new missionary sex scene with a CG!
• Ashley got a 10-affection scene pushing her romance forward.
• Damage/heal displays *should* be less prone to displaying 10+ digits, but the move to Renpy 8 caused some more backend issues than I had hoped so it’s possible I missed some. Please let me know if you run into any!
• Various other bug/typo fixes as mentioned above. Probably the most obviously notable one would be Maya’s 10 trust scene having expressions now.

0.26b

• A new area, the Deepwoods Heart. Chock full of plot, new art, and music, it will be a true test of your your abilities and your beliefs, with heavily divergent endings depending on your final choices.
• Sarah gets a wholesome new CG and sex scene (night) as well as another talk (evening), both requiring high affection.
• Celica gets a new Affection 12 scene pushing the relationship forward, as well as a shared hangout with Sam (evening).
• Metatron gets a new conversation that starts off focused on abs and eventually segues into massive spoilers about exactly how thicc or bricc various angels are. Trust me, it’s relevant to the plot.
• Aspasia gets a new 6 Trust scene as your bond with her begins to grow and she gets a little bit snarkier.
• Ashley gets a new conversation with Maya as oil and water mix into a big fucking problem. She also gets a followup conversation discussing her worldview.
• Trait and now Ability dictionaries exist in the right-click menus, with better use of icons and separation to make ’em a bit easier to peruse. Hopefully helps for making new builds.
• Chesed completely revamped into 7 new spells, while Malkuth got quite a few spellsword-oriented spells as well. Binah and Geburah got a few new spells apiece.
• For some godawful reason a lot of active Charisma abilities didn’t actually let you master them, which is now fixed.
• A metric assload of new traits; Charisma gets a bunch that let you buff your allies passively, while healing magic (mostly Aether and Water) get a variety of specialized as well as generalized traits. Pyromancy got some love as well.
• The Athame weapon gained several new elemental skills and traits, hopefully making it a strong option for a more dexterity-focused spellsword rather than a stat stick. Oh, and you can bleed yourself horribly for a short magic buff.
• New stat icons! Also rearranged the display a bit. No functional changes.
• Several existing characters now have new music; Maya’s default, Sarah during her lewd scene, etc.
• Several new themes for the Heart; there’s a lot of new boss music to say the least!
• Minor channel balancing; each active channel increases the activation cost of the next. More thorough work will be done with them when I revisit the mana system, this is somewhat experimental.
