Patch Notes and Release Date Update 1.12.0 (Patreon)

Hello Hello!

This update has been a bit of a wild one. Holidays and illness have delayed us somewhat from our usual schedule, but I am pleased to announce we are nearing the end and are ready to give a final release date.

The backer build of update 1.12.0 will release on Saturday, March 5th with the public release following two weeks later on Saturday, March 19th. This update has taught us a lot about how we'll want to finish the romance lines for characters, and we'll be using that knowledge as we slowly fill in the other storylines in future updates.

So what, exactly, are your romance options? Let's find out!
Patch Notes 1.12.0

Romance Storylines Now Complete for Cassy (AI) and Samantha (Partner). Romance one of your employees yourself, or play matchmaker and pair them off to help with each other's problems. Unlocks new art and new sex scenes, and may alter final epilogue at game end (future content).

New Mechanics

• 'Exclusive' vs 'Polyamorous' Romances
  Different strokes for different folks!  If you choose to deepen your relationship with your employees further, some of them will expect a (romantically) exclusive relationship, while some of them prefer to share and share alike. Your partners will make clear what they prefer! Make sure you're willing to respect their wishes!
  
• Update to Mason's Romance
  If you have already entered into a D/s relationship with your incubus engineer, this will now count as an exclusive romance. The crystalline resonance which bonded you is powerful, and doesn't promote sharing.
• Recolored Art
  We've tweaked some of the darker skin tones for the main character to improve the look in some of the new full body art pieces included with this update. 

Samantha - A Sub Of Her Own

• Main Character Pairing:  
  Submit to your favorite secretary! After going on two dates with Samantha and choosing not to enter into a relationship with Mason, talk to Mason about Samantha's desires. Samantha is an exclusive romance.
  
• Dana Pairing:
  Why not pair up your employee needing a permanent sub with one needing a more permanent dom? Go on two dates with Dana and Samantha, then suggest they look to one another for comfort. Enjoy a new duo scene in the office.
  
• Mason Pairing:
  Turning down Mason has left his better than he was, but a little adrift. No one would be happier to teach him how to feel again than Samantha. Go on two dates with Samantha, turn down a relationship with Mason, then suggest they look to each other for what they need. Enjoy a new duo scene in the office.

Cassy - Digital Denizen 

• Main Character Pairing:
  Upgrade your relationship status with your friendly neighborhood AI! After going on two dates with Cassy, select 'think about Cassy's Problem' in the bedroom, and spend 1000 energy to create a way for you to enter her world, then encourage a more romantic relationship.  Cassy is non-exclusive.
  
•  'Besties' pairing:
  As above, think about Cassy's problem and build a way to visit her. She's happy to have someone she can interact with directly, who can 'plug in' from time to time. Enjoy your friendship! (Does not count as a romantic relationship and is possible while in an exclusive relationship)
  
•  Jolie Pairing:
  Solve one problem with another. Jolie wants to be in pictures, and Cassy wants to vacation in the real world. Jolie can play the role of a brand new cyborg, allowing Cassy control while the actress runs around in cyberspace. Enjoy a new duo scene in the office. 

We hope you enjoy these paths as much as we enjoyed writing them. Thank you for your patience. For those of you who missed it, update 1.13.0 will focus on a brand new employee, and we can't wait for you to meet her!

Happy Hunting!
Cambion and Luciana
