Version 0.3.13 - Advanced Transformations

Hey guys,

Another months is gone and another update is here! As discussed in the previous DevBlog, in this update our main focus was to take Alex's succubus transformations to the next level and to lay the groundwork for the kind of art we want to have. You will notice several new interactive sequences in Chapter 2 that build on our layering tech to create scenes that show you Alex changing in real time.

We have finished the horns and also added her tail, though it is not fully integrated with the plot yet - we will continue next month to upgrade existing scenes and interactions in Chapter 2 to react to Alex's changes.

Another major aspect of this patch was upgrading locations - we have added 6 brand new locations, but also some variations, like the basement before and after the box is moved there, as well as the box opening and closing as you interact with it. We have also taken a moment to update more passages with backgrounds and streamline some transitions from one location to another.

There have also been quite a few behind-the-scenes changes to how Chapter2 handles Alex's succubus progression and the triggers for transformations. The pact is now only responsible for bringing the Mark, which works independently of the other ones. We have playtested for any oddities, but will be keeping an eye on feedback in case anything breaks with these changes.
