The Bulge-2-Bulge Release v1.12

 


Hello everyone, it's Release Day once again!

We've got a lot of good stuff for you this time. New content, of course, but also a lot of fixes, adjustments, and improvements. It's a really solid release with plenty of fun stuff to enjoy. Our goal is still to keep working on making AW a better game in addition to adding expansion goals.

Speaking of which, the expansion poll.

It was an extremely close poll this time despite having a really high participation. So close I have a hard time declaring one a "real" winner. I think all the options would be good for the game, and are generally exciting in their own way. We got a lot of feedback in discord too, which we really appreciate. Of course, we were planning a secondary vote to narrow down what you wanted specifically in the chosen category, but it seems like it was a hard choice.

A couple points.

  • The sex system expansion in particular had a lot of feedback that mostly boiled down to: we want the sex system to work better and be better, we don't care so much about adding new features.
  • Several said they want to play as a hucow and transform into one, but don't need all the extra stuff for living in dorms. Basically, many suggested they just wanted to be a hucow as a job, with more hucow-related content... rather than the full scope of the expansion listed with living on the farm.
I am thinking that rather than jumping directly into an expansion after we finish with futa, it might be good to take a couple months to focus on some high impact items, or perhaps create a list of smaller-scope expansions. I'm still putting a lot of thought into it, so please do come share your thoughts with us. 

I'm going to do a longer post by next weekend, probably with two additional polls to narrow things down. Just for the record, the hucow expansion is the winner, with transformatives a close runner up, followed almost immediately by the sex system. 

Thanks everyone for your support and feedback, we really appreciate it!

Change Log

Word Count: 3,057,229 (20,895,583)
Code: 154,861 lines of TypeScript

  • Fixed a bug that caused huge travel times when moving between the home and apartment common area.
  • Updated the watch a cockmongering match with a variety of team names, and fixed a bug in the text output.
  • Made adjustments to the NPC suicide system.
    • System will no longer kill off NPCs that you have a relationship stronger than acquaintance with.
    • Fixed a bug that affected weighting causing NPCs to appear to be much more "ignored" by the player, which caused NPCs to be killed too quickly in favor of new potentially more interesting NPCs.
      • This was particularly true when under a lot of pressure to kill NPCs because the player interacts with many "fake" NPCs forcing them to be generated and exceeding the NPC count limit.
  • Increased the safe pregnancy bonus for working at Progenerate by 50%
    • Now a 150 fundal height and 12 baby buffer before bad end.
  • Added a new feature to the Tummy Hugger that tells the player how many fetuses they can carry safely in a single womb.
    • This feature includes the bonus for pregnancy experience, and shows the specific limit for each womb if the player has two.
    • New function supporting this can be used to output data elsewhere as well.
  • Made a major change to the way Saradberol (zygote splitter) works to create identical twins.
    • Saradberol now has a 75% chance to cause a zygote to split instead of 33%
    • If the current number of implanted zygotes is within 6 of the max number of fetuses, it will drop this percentage to 25%
    • The goal is to make saradberol a little safer to use while ultimately allowing for even larger pregnancies.
  • Made some adjustment to lactation training, allowing higher training values to be reached with lower power pumps and hand milking.
  • Hand milking adjustments
    • The quick action button for hand milking when out of the house now works properly.
    • The icon has been changed from the "pump" icon to a new "hand" icon to indicate the difference.
    • Hand pumping now has 5 different images for variety instead of the same image every time.
      • Note: A lot more milking variety with pumps is something planned for Hucow Expansion.
  • Some fixes to the appearance of the "Read Something" menu for wasting time on your phone.
  • Adjustment to the cyclical progression of Fecundate Division Events.
    • The player's first seradberol event will instead result in a boosted dose of OvuMax, which is safer in case the player doesn't get the full spread of elasticizing treatments in time. Plus OvuMax fits right in with Fecundate.
    • New OvuMax suppository event at the fecundate division. 
      • The nurse discusses training with large pregnancies to increase the amount of babies you can have safely.
      • Nurse discusses OvuMax, side effects, how it works, etc.
    • Seradberol injection event now has a new text for injections after the first where the nurse suggests using OvuMax on your own.
  • You will now get a happiness boost for getting most fertility treatments at the Gestique clinic.
  • Fixed some various text overrun and format issues at Gestique
  • The character's menstrual cycle will now start one day later than before. This essentially pushes back the day the player could get pregnant by 1 (ovulation day still has random variability based on several factors)
  • Fixed a bug that caused the cumvial use hovertext to be invisible. The options should make a lot more sense now!
  • Fixed the brain damage percentage display in the character details menu so that it displays properly.
  • There is a new Female Supremacist lecture you can attend at FutaFest.
    • It's fairly short, but has some NTR "not cheating" gifs as part of the lecture.
  • The selection of events at FutaFest had the formatting enabled. 
    • A last-minute bug for the prior release had us disable it... it's enabled now.
  • There is a new event at the Bureaucratic Corps where you find a sex toy remote.
    • Play with a new B-Corps employee!
  • The number of testicles you have now affects the size of your semen reserve. 
    • Having only one testicle reduces reserve size by 25%
    • Having three increases it by 25%
    • Having no testicles reduces it by 50%
    • Semen reserve has a minimum size, this change will not reduce it below that.
  • There is now a BDSM event at FutaFest.
    • You must be a futa to participate, however, because Besty is mean.
  • The Tingler App had a lot of fixing done.
    • The background color for NPC characters will now change depending on whether or not they have a cock. 
    • There is also a gender icon now, so no more guessing "female or futa?"
  • The CoerceMe app has been created in a similar style to the Tingler App, of course still focused on con-non-con and harder sexual activities.
  • The "browse the booths" activity at the FutaFest has been created with several interesting things going on.
    • Walk around the con and look at various display booths.
    • You will experience three special booths in a random order.
    • Wheel of Cock - Win a chance to suck a magnificent cock.
      • You won't be able to resist if you are a slut, have a cum addiction, or too low willpower.
      • Drinking the semen has an interesting effect.
        • If you are a cum slut and addicted to cum, you will gain the "cumpire" mutation, locking your cum addiction to 100. (Remember, cum addiction is super easy to manage--beneficial, honestly--if you use cumplete nutrition as your food choice.)
        • Otherwise, it will give you the cumslut kink and make you addicted to semen.
    • Futa Juice - Check out a new beverage company startup and taste their product.
    • Futa Grow - A doctor doing a little community service. You're given the option to take an experimental drug.
      • As a futa, it will grow your cock up to 2 inches in length, add some girth, and increase testicle size by up to 12cc (avg 10).
      • If you are not a futa, it will itch and burn and eventually result in you growing a small cock and tiny balls in a small scene with a cute little girl cock.
      • Returning to the booth after being dosed will result in two different scenes depending on whether you were a futa or not when you took the drug. non-futa players can get a bonus dose to give them some growth as with normal futas.
    • You leave your time browsing the booths with a couple keepsakes.
      • A new keychain for your Missibitchi Lingual keys
      • Some face painting
  • A ton of new job events have been added by Anenn. Just a ton of stuff.
    • Two to three new events for every job.
    • Events are "normal" but also allow for futa players.
  • Fixed the issue where when leaving a school class, the class would still show up in your schedule for a week.
  • Made the NPC job "Public Toilet Scrubber" far less common.
  • Not choosing a home in the female prologue, or any of the prologue skip options, will result in new behavior.
    • You will now be sent to live at "Cumslut Row" instead of a random or missing home.
    • Cumslut row apartments cost only 469 per month in rent, cheaper than any other option. "4 69, cum to Cumslut Row!"
    • Cumslut row has the lowest possible score in all home categories.
  • Restrictions on using the prologue skipper have (finally) been enabled.
    • You must complete a prologue before you are able to skip it.
  • Redid the job milking code!
    • When working at their job, the player will milk themselves during work hours using office "employee pumps". (A mandatory appliance for all Appletree employers)
    • Output in the end-of-day daily performance screen will tell you about any milk pumped and any new milk canisters filled.
    • You will no longer have to worry about being overly full of milk at the end of the work day.
  • Fixed a bug where FutaFest time progressed too quickly at the end of the day.
  • Fixed 391 separate instances where Anenn had used a macro incorrectly causing a bug.
    • Arousal will now be gained/lost appropriately.
    • No errors from these anymore.
    • He is a capybara, it should probably be expected XD
  • Fixed a bug with the heat consumables that could cause excessive arousal gain, and wouldn't cause proper adjustments to fertility cycle to move the player to a "dangerous" part of their cycle.
    • In other news, a use for heat is to help get yourself pregnant without waiting for your next cycle to come around.
      • This was always intended, but didn't work and was only recently reported in the verbose console output.
    • Players with two wombs should be careful to avoid giant pregnancies directly on top of each other.
  • Job content counts have been updated with the latest amount of content for 1.12
  • Lots of other bugs were fixed. 
    • Why doesn't anyone want to document bug resolution?
      • Probably because it's boring, or we do it in the middle of working on something else. 

We hope you enjoy this release!
