Was replaying the church room start for the caoticus anonymous chain and the image of Elana just getting railed on the altar while some acolyte watches, dick in hand, is still living in my head. The flash compression they had to do for Newgrounds really did a number on the art though, it's all a bit crunchy and soft focus like looking at a jpeg from 2004. There's a blog link for the regular quality version but honestly who has the patience to download a separate thing when the browser tab is right there. The quest log addition is a lifesaver because before this update finding some triggers was like navigating a maze in the dark with your hands tied.

The whole tavern management thing they added, you can hire like 12 characters and dress them up in different outfits, and they all have unique sentences per outfit. Spent way too long just cycling through the tavern worker outfits, the 36 images for that alone, and the promise of one event per outfit in the future is the kind of delayed gratification that drives you nuts. Jenara at the war camp has a standing animation that's got this little hip sway, three events and two images, and Cliff is there too with his stuff but I'm not here for him. The fight difficulty got nerfed which is good because I'm here for the scenes not the grind, and the nymph events now have a 50% chance to show an image or restore stats which is a coin flip I'm always happy to take. The academy events are a whole new can of worms with 20 events and about 12 images, some real "teacher's pet" scenarios if you catch my drift.

The night events in the market got four new images and they're the kind of content that makes you double-check your door's locked. The interface overhaul is cleaner, the wait until night button is a small mercy, and the debug code for money, kginsertcoin, feels like the devs just gave up on pretending this isn't about getting to the good stuff. The standing animations for singular characters are a nice touch, makes the world feel less like a slideshow even if the whole thing's held together with spit and Flash player updates. The elven city observing events are still just teasing at something bigger, and the church of Elana reformation is a placeholder that'll probably pay off in another update when I've forgotten about it entirely.
