The Barista Release - v1.06

 


Hello everyone, it's that time again... Release Day!

This time, while we did still work on expanding futa compatibility around the game, we also added a good deal of content/things that aren't futa-specific. Some general improvements that I think are good for the game. Thanks to Krow, we also got to add a big content addition to the Fecundate Division job, which can always use some more pregnancy hijinks!

Outside of AW, this has been a rough month for me. I don't talk about it much outside of Discord (though it's certainly no secret) but I have a day job, and generally work on AW in the evenings and on weekends. This is how I pay my own bills and still pay everyone else working full or part time for Arcanist Codeworks. I work in public service for the government, I guess in what you'd call the "public safety" arena. I'm something of an IT/Sys Admin middleman, making sure data flows to the experts in different agencies, and that their warnings about hazards to life and property get back to the public. There's been a lot of upheaval, new servers, new architecture, etc... so I've just been run ragged with work. I've got to make sure the whole crazy project is a success, because I don't want anyone to get hurt because I made a mistake.

I mention all this in the name of transparency, because I didn't get as much done this month as I wanted to. Of course, all the other guys were still on the job so it's still a solid release... but birth scenes with NPCs didn't make it in. Hopefully everything will have finished (successfully!) in the next couple weeks, and I can go back to business as usual!

Thanks for your support, we couldn't do it without you!
