Star Knightess Aura 0.23.0-prerelease-3

Like every week, grab the latest prerelease at:

ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE

Another week, another prerelease. We are already closing in to 0.23.0. This week I have been mostly focusing on writing. First, we have the last missing part for John's newest quest: His lewd scene.

To be a bit in-theme with the setup in the Riverflow forest, we have a similar "choice" for Aura where her lack of willpower traps her into a lewd action with John.  I originally wanted to make this one a Handjob since we already have quite a few BJ but figured that one more won't be too bad. And the reuse saves quite some costs on having to create costume variations for the handjob CG for all tavern costumes. I have already applied the Blowjob CG to this scene, but will probably commission a John costume for the male party to give it a bit more of a personal note.

Then, the second major addition this week happens in the mental and the real worlds. You can now clear out the second of the three knowledge shelfs. This time focusing on Humanities. I have written the associated corruption scenes as well, giving us 3 (times 2) new mental changes and 3 new corruption scenes. I sadly didn't get to the next Tests Are Out and Homework Project With Laura scenes as I had initially hoped but maybe I can somehow cram them in once I'm done with Fotress of Wrath.

Which is also my transition into the work for next week. I will be working on the remaining floors of Draknor Fortress except for the boss floor. I don't think I will be able to quite finish all of them since there will be two more floors + one more demon domain. But I should get quite close to it so I can finish them off plus the boss floor in the week after that.

Regarding some freelancer updates, I was recently approached by a Composer who offered to create some music (100€ / min). Tomorrow I will be posting the next investment round poll and give some more information on this side. Originally, I wanted to wait with the next Investment poll until I had gotten the test scenes from the two applicants on the Assisstant Writer position, since I believe that could quite stringly influence the decision of where to put the next 100€. But one of them is lacking quite behind, and the other one sent me their test scene today, so I will probably post some info about this tomorrow as well in the poll. Well, yeah, so this might sound a bit incoherent like this. So, in short, more about the new freelancers applicants tomorrow :D

I conclude the post as usual with the combined changelog of today's prerelease plus the public bugfix patch.
