Oh hey,
It's Thaum. Just a quick note from me in case you were curious. Took 3-4 days off after the 1.28.1 bug fix'n release. Transferred the kids over to the grandparents for a month vacation, and that seems to have done the trick. At least for now, burnout is at bay and I've been chugging along. Spending more time on a different project seems to have helped, and I was trying to take it a little easier. Still lots of cool AW stuff from me though. Now on to the change log message as imagined by a friendly cat.
Besty's Change Log
Change Log
- New triangle distribution function because I'm a nerd.
- Added some minor stuff to the dev toolkit (elite build)
- Changed character creation key icon into locked and unlocked icons to be more clear.
- Completion of the major Lactation System upgrade!
- Several uses of that triangle thingamajig above for fancier maths to do things like S curves.
- Update of lactation description in status and elsewhere to use more accurate words that line up with the real production rates.
- Lactation training can now reduce overnight for non-hucow characters depending on their current training level. Reduction is more likely at higher training levels.
- New lactation training cap based on body lactation ability.
- Updated minimum lactation training setup, added checks to ensure minimum is adhered to.
- Reworked the way lactation training is gained during milk pumping to be more accurate and character-responsive.
- Initial gains are faster than gains at higher levels
- Effects of different pumps balanced.
- Far better responsiveness to lactation ability and specific character for determining gains.
- Lactation training guide (game encyclopedia) updated and expanded with more info.
- Lactation training overall now utilizes fancy math probability curves for increases and decreases. Because for some reason AW lactation is really realistic in a lot of ways (except with some fun boosts)
- Tweaks of lactation numbers for balancing.
- Several adjustments to math for milk production.
- example: changing math for how character health impacts.
- much better calculation milk flow rate during milking.
- Fixed a minor issue with milk tank cheat affecting production.
- Character creation lactation selection redone.
- help popup totally rewritten to be properly accurate with new system.
- terminology fixed in describing lactation levels
- renamed lactation ability instead of "milk production" to reduce confusion.
- Total rework of "penalty" section of lactation code. (code that can reduce lactation training when full, cause spilling, pain, etc.)
- Better notifications text for clarity when alerted about full breasts.
- Milk can no longer go above 109% capacity without spilling.
- No leak cheat user will have milk amount adjusted without spill.
- Rather than a simple "spill" there is now a letdown system that provides a chance to have your breasts let down and start releasing milk.
- Breasts can letdown once they reach 90% full.
- The chance of this starts small and increases as they become more full.
- This is more like the behavior of actual tits.
- Amount of spilled milk is no longer a simple percentage and is now calculated based on breast factors.
- lactation training reduction now occurs much more naturally, and takes into account the current lactation training and the PC's lactation ability.
- Is independent of other factors.
- lactation training can start to reduce after reaching 90% of capacity.
- Status penalties for full breasts are now more sane, probably.
- New lactation predictive function.
- Because lactation is highly dependent on character actions, a special function is needed to model actions and "step forward" through time to calculate total milk production over a number of hours.
- This is primarily used for hucows, and also allows us to determine NPC lactation without running code every 15 game minutes.
- Allows us to set milk quotas based on realistic udder values responding to the player's body and actual ability.
- most important part.
- assumes you'll be a good hucow though...
- even more math for an ensemble prediction to limit extremes.
- Organization and consolidation of all lactation functions.
- Differentiation between standard and hucow class milk production working on the same system.
- Various breast mutations/transformations now affect all characters, with proper formulas behind it rather than ad-hoc adjustments.
- Hucow lactation focus system added to adjust milk based on daily choices at work (and episodes outside) to maximize or reduce production.
- lots of minor improvements and things I don't remember.
- Improved the omni timer kill function to increase reliability and handle potential duplicate statuses.
- Additional differentiation added to time chunking to allow 15 minute status function to perform actions at less than 15 minute intervals when needed.
- Significant updates to the body condition and clothes staining systems.
- Rework of external and internal body condition interface, and total rework of internal fluid handling.
- note that sperm cells are handled separately in much more detailed simulation, but the two are linked.
- Fluid now leaks out of orifices over time!
- More math! (for determining how much, etc.)
- Leaking fluid now travels to the first outside condition zone (genitals or ass crack) where it can do all the usual things, spreading, staining, drying, etc.
- System now handles miniscule amounts, for better response to small stains such as a little pussy wetness or a single cum spurt.
- improved terminology for describing how much of a fluid is on the body, with additional levels of gradation.
- New absorption setup determining how fast fluid is absorbed by the body. (for example, cum is absorbed by the body faster in the anus!)
- When placing body conditions from things like creampies/enemas/fem lube, fluid is now universally placed inside the orifice before flowing out, for more realistic behavior.
- Dramatic improvement to how fluids dry.
- Improvement to wetness mechanic. (e.g. is it fresh cum, or tacky nearly dry cum?)
- New body condition location: butt cleft (ass crack).
- Internal fluids no longer dry on their own, but can be absorbed or leak.
- Math on how this happens results in more natural flow of fluids out of orifices, more realistic absorption, and a better curve of time fluids are in there.
- Wetness and leaking improvements.
- Much improved code for determining vaginal wetness across the 0-20 scale.
- Still uses arousal and body values, but with a more realistic determination and transition.
- Anal wetness is now a thing.
- You can also get your panties dirty this way, I suppose.
- Only characters that have their anal wetness increased to above 0 will have to worry about this.
- reworked system for femlube happening due to arousal.
- In addition to better current wetness calculation, fluid is now added to internal vaginal/anal fluids instead of directly to the body.
- Behavior of liquids now works more naturally as in real life.
- because internal fluids use a smaller unit size, it allows more granularity and a more natural ramp up of lube production.
- small amounts of lube now happen at lower arousal levels, starting with a "slightly damp panties" level of accrual.
- now based in ml/min lubricant production.
- Improvements to orgasm pussy wetness to use new "internal-first" setup.
- Pussy Seal added to the game!
- For players who want a wet pussy, but don't want to get their underwear/clothes wet I guess.
- Also for people who want to run around with just a pussy bandage for clothing, because it does that too.
- Or people who want to keep other fluids inside, because it alters semen mechanics (because stuff can't escape in one direction)
- Come in a pack of 21, available at both pharmacies for 18 credits.
- Each one lasts about 18 hours.
- Prevents fluids leaking from vagina.
- Can be removed early.
- Prevents "naked bottom" status, but doesn't act as clothes in most situations (you can just peel for easy access). Still results in the exposed status (which is legal).
- changes semen simulation in certain key ways.
- Lot of cool text, multiple painstakingly photoshopped images with drawn patches.
- application images and for below ad.
- An ad appears when "reading something" (wasting time on phone).
- Sticky cum mutation has been enabled in the semen simulation mechanics.
- Fixed issue where Tincow clothes had an invalid price.
- Muschi Valley map has been updated.
- Now has more teeny tiny farm buildings scattered around.
- Farm COOP buildings on the map more closely matches the actual zoomed-in map.
- Two new clickable areas.
- Farmer Jim Stones added to the game.
- He's got big nuts and he cannot lie.
- Sorry.
- Discover him in the COOP office, he's in a documentary!
- Ask about where he lives.
- Find him on the map and visit him.
- ???
- Profit.
- (3 different sex acts, plenty of text)
- Fixed a bug that prevented the third hucow punishment scene from showing. It was written last month but was inaccessible. Well, now it can be seen (just be a bad hucow and break rules enough times).
- Cowbucks! The internal COOP money is fully functional now.
- Almost all COOP fast food and shops accept Cowbucks instead of Credits now.
- The cowbucks are given to your character every week, the amount is based on your milk productivity (Meeting the milk quota).
- Beware, the COOP takes have interest when loaning your character cowbucks so you can increase your indentured debt rather quickly with it!
- If you need more real Credits for paying in the outside world you can use an ATM in the West Barn area to exchange Cowbucks for Credits. *The exchange rates can vary. **Can't exchange back.
- General Hucow Finances:
- Your indentured debt is calculated properly now and will change according to your milk production and other things.
- You can watch the last ten changes in the new menu on the Career page (or in the financial tab of the end-of-the-week screen).
- Changed the end-of-the-weel screen so it reflects Hucow's finances better. Additional block with debt, cowbucks, and other was added.
- Most of the Credits spendings are now taken care of by COOP so your character can focus on being a good hucow and just producing the precious milk.
- Milk quota.
- Thaum will write it here I hope but in short it calculates the amount of milk you are expected to give to COOP each week. The number is sophisticatedly calculated somehow.
- It's lich magic. (also, see thaum section)
- Not meeting the quota results in getting punished.
- Meeting or even exceeding the quota can provide your character with benefits! Lovely.
- All of the mentioned things depend on the game difficulty settings. On the harder levels, your debt can get out of control pretty soon.
- Small expansion of the COOP milking scene.
- Just a picture of a nice friendly dairy hand commenting on your appearance.
- It will be a full-fledged scene next release. For now on enjoy the pic and the small flavor text.
- Hucoins!
- A cryptocurrency app available for all hucows.
- You can tap on titties and earn Hucoins!
- You can get new ranks and get cool skins for the app!
- Also you may be able to exchange Hucoins to Cowbucks. Maybe. This is not a scam. Not at all.
- New character — Jessy "Viking" James.
- Made following the suggestions of one of the members of our discord server.
- A muscular blonde girl with some interesting kinks and traits.
- Completely dateable and interactable.
- Can be found in the downtown area (evening).
- A new character — Lousie!
- Not a full-fledged NPC, she only appears in certain events. Maybe this will be changed later if you would like her.
- She is into watersports and is a Thornton test subject.
- Two scenes with her, both can happen randomly if you stroll around downtown. (8000 chars).
- The second one happens only if you meet Lousue in the first one.
- Since the content is potentially not for everybody it is gated so your character won't stumble upon her if you haven't set the flag for "watersports" in settings.
- Small CG update
- When using the CoerceMe app to find a date, NPCs will usually have some BDSM toys with them to make you more obedient and helpless.
- I will add more stuff to the CG next month since it needs a bit more attention to become even more cool.
- Changed the size of the boobs needed to play the Titjob card. Now you only need B-sized boobs to perform a titjob.
- WTF? - love, Thaum
