Tentacle Release Incremental Change Log

 

Tentacle Hucow?

Here with more bug fixes. Some new, some unearthed from the ancient times long ago.

Thanks for reporting these ^_^

Did you know that it's actually really hard to get good "hucow" images out of AI? I've been learning a bit on the side thanks to Cowbot. It's exciting to think that it's actually possible though, as models with huge perky breasts barely exist, and even those don't really match our AW hucows.

v1.16.1

• Fixed the repeating times on the job selection display for non-hucow jobs.
• Improved the warning screen when starting the female prolog to further emphasize the graphic content contained in that prolog.
• Added a back button so players can return to the story selection screen.
• Added a "what's the difference" link to the description of male/female story on the story selection screen.
• Popup contains low-spoiler information about the difference between the two stories and that they fit together as part of one whole.
• Minor tweaks to hucow job application code to be more forgiving when the player has multiple disqualifying items.
• Adjusted the hucow job application code so that it will always reject the player when pregnant (was previously was possible to squeak in with all other bonuses maxed).
• Hucow transformation is bad for fetuses. Come back when not pregnant.
• Fixed a sperm event Anenn fucked up that would impregnate you incorrectly with tentacles.
• Changed the highest muscle category for female attraction to "She-Ra" to match the male "He-Man" label.
• Adjusted the character review text in male prolog so that it was less ambiguous about why the player was sleeping naked.
• Slight changes to breast size word parser.
• Tweaked descriptors for smaller breasts slightly "downward" toward smaller sizes.
• Tweaked some of the word probabilities.
• Fixed a bug that caused NPC arousal to persist after sex, causing them to start future sex scenes super horny and ready to cum.
• Added new "vulva only" cum results to sex scenes.
• Several positions/actions can result in the player getting a little cum in their vulva (the exterior happy flappy bits). Usually from ejaculating in that general direction, or from getting cum on the pubic mound and having some run down into the vulva.
• Example, stand facing each other position, where the NPC penis is pointed in the general direction of your groin/stomach. most goes on your stomach, some on your pubic mound, and a tiny fraction gets in your vulva.
• Vulva cum can technically cause pregnancy, but is unlikely unless other factors are at play (such as pushing the cum in, or having a vaginal symbiote)
• Sex system previously treated vulva cum as a creampie, which isn't really correct.
• New text will state that some of X's cum got in your vulva, making it more clear about what happened.
• Added a note to the hucow dorm bedroom to make it even more clear that no, you can't sleep yet.
• Fixed bug where a certain scene in dating in a certain location didn't have any buttons to continue, because Anenn, as usual.
• Adjusted the npc-driven interactions to be a little more sane.
• Added arousal reduction in male prolog so that player wouldn't end up with brain damage in certain situations.
• Fix to a janitor job event where you were stuck and couldn't continue.
• Also a red banner for a typo. Usual Anenn bugs... Kinda glad he's not adding to them anymore...
• Coop Home Menu fix (note... really shouldn't be playing with this yet)
• The cleanliness number in the status record note is now properly rounded instead of having 10 decimal places.
• Inseminations at the animal shelter can now cause pseudopregnancy
• Requires the pseudopreg mutation
• follow on from this is not tested!

v1.16.2

• Content warning screen now declares that all characters are 18+ years old.
• Character creation kinks menu now shows a total of 25, not 28 kinks. No idea why there was 28 there, seems like a weird typo to make...
• Fixed bug where job leave/sick leave would not accumulate.
• Apparently existed since we made it possible to switch jobs...
• Added new info to social/career menu showing how many weeks until you earn more leave. Also added a note clarifying that some info is only updated weekly.
• Fixed issue where the studfinder nurse's name would change from Julie to Julia because remembering names is hard.
• Image in studfinder not displaying correctly was tracked down to image with double extension on it. Will be fixed in next resource files download.
• Fixed bug in status bars in top right of screen. Milk fullness was being calculated incorrectly as the milk in one breast as a percentage of capacity in BOTH breasts.
• Fixed a bug in the character menu with the same error as above, just in text form.
• Fixed a bug where futa characters could not be accepted to be a hucow.
• was a stupid "x = -1" instead of correct "x -= 1" :P
• Adjusted hucow job requirements.
• Being unable to produce milk will hurt you more.
• Having a high fertility will help you.
• Futa and previously having kids penalties have been split, so they can hurt your score twice if you have both conditions.
• Totally redid the calculations for determining breast size when lactating.
• 85% more science. Size calculations are far more realistic.
• Breast size will swing far less dramatically over the course of a day.
• Milk capacity and lactation training are now primary contributors to additional breast size while lactating.
• Size is primarily a function of gland tissue swelling when producing milk, with the amount of swelling dependent on lactation training (activation level of gland tissue). Milk is mostly inside this tissue, and doesn't really expand it (it's complicated biology stuff, not gonna explain it here). size changes due to milk in the breast filling of the ductal tissue, which is more elastic and grows in size slowly as glandular cells are more "stuffed". This ductal tissue is a big contributor to discomfort from being overly full of milk.
• Milk in breasts still contribute to size, but at a much smaller degree designed to emulate more natural swelling and shrinking of lactating breasts without dramatic size changes.
• Was looking at another bug, and had to fix this.
• The hypermilky mutation is now unavailable if you can't lactate. This is mostly to prevent confusion, because if you can't lactate, it doesn't matter how much prolactin you have.
• Fixed some Besty typos where "still" was spelled "steel" which sounds correct in a Russian accent, but is wrong nevertheless.
• The size requirements for lactation ability have been dramatically lowered.
• AA and AAA breasts have a max LA of 1.
• A and Large A breasts have a max LA of 2.
• B cup sizes have a max LA of 3.
• Having a lactation ability of 4 at character creation (unlocked with mega milk code) will no longer cause the player to start lactating.
• Breasts with a lactation ability of 4 can generally be thought of as producing a few drops of milk from the nipples with some suction/squeezing, but are not actually lactating. Players can increase their lactation training at the farm coop dairy office, which will start them lactating if lactation training was at zero.
• Minimum lactation training level based on lactation ability has been adjusted to 4 - LA, so a lactation ability of 4 will have a minimum lactation training of zero. 
• This is so you can have a very milky character, that isn't forced to lactate all the time.
• Minimum lactation training for characters with hypermilky mutation is now 1, and they start with a lactation training of 1 if the mutation is chosen at character creation. (previously 3)

1.16.3

This one is smaller, fewer bugs each time, except when we accidentally make more bugs fixing bugs, like with the lactating breast size thing...

Also, I got our bug tracker email setup working! Turns out it was the hosting service changing some environment stuff. If you want to make an account, it should now send you the email to create your password. You can also use discord to report bugs, though we do appreciate the bug tracker reports. www.aw-wiki.com/mantis

• Fixed the bug caused by changing how lactating breast size is calculated. (forgot to add back in the base tit size value... dumb mistake.)
• Fixed the issue where the male quickstart would be unavailable despite completing the male prolog.
• If you completed the prolog already, the quick start should now be available to you without needing to re-complete it to unlock.
• Fixed a bug where the PC's cycle info would still display how long they have been pregnant the day of giving birth. 
• Caused because menstrual cycle stuff is all calculated nightly. Now status will show "Gave Birth".
• Removed the "explore" timer event after the end of the prolog with a hucow specific one. For now it displays an additional warning that the Hucow Expansion is in progress, and not ready for full play.

1.16.4

Some more bug fixes for bugs old and new. I'm really happy that the game is getting better. Keep the bug reports coming! 

• Friend Hangout "Friends With Benefits" sex outcome fixed, will now lead to sexing, and will also record hangout outcome correctly (mostly relationship love/like stuff)
• Fixed a couple speech color issues where the wrong color was used.
• Fixed some Besty grammar.
• Tweaked the lactation capacity so that capacity can be higher at higher lactation ability values.
• Updated the timing for the "Oleg caught you stealing" chain when you choose to steal the capacitor component from the warehouse.
• The notification that he has caught you now happens quicker.
• You now have a little more time before he decides to have you disappeared.
• Reminder: find him on the streets to try and work things out if you don't want to be disappeared.
• Fixed a longstanding issue that I discovered involving backward compatibility. Backwards Compatibility merges flags from your save into an existing flags object. When loading the old save first thing, it does this over a freshly initiated flags object. If loading after already playing a different game/save, any new flag variables added to the loaded older save could have not-default values. Unlikely to cause a problem, but still good to have it fixed.
• Made a fix to how cheat code is handled, resulting in more reliable behavior when switching back and forth between cheat and non-cheat versions.
• Hopefully fixed the consumable system item duplication bug.
• seems to have been caused by the way backward compatibility was rebuilding consumables objects and re-adding items to inventory.
• This is necessary so that when a new consumable is added, or a consumable is changed/fixed/updated in the new version, that new stuff is available instead of being overwritten with old stuff.
• Why is this saved in the game save? Because this is one of the few SugarCube things we've used in the game code (though with some enhancements), and SugarCube stuff is just like that. :P
• System will now handle this in a more reliable (less dumb) way.
• Added a maximum capacity for any consumable item of 69 upon loading a save with backwards compatibility.
• Fixed a bug with lactation rates, so it will stop the milk flood.
• I was using empirical data for breast fill rates, and ended up working with hour time units, which is the base value for the amount of milk generated which then gets heavily modified based on many other factors.
• I forgot to account for the fact that milk gets generated every 15 minutes, while the base calculations were generating based on once per hour. Essentially, milk was being produced 4x faster than it was supposed to.
• Made some more tweaks to other lactation values, based on results we've seen.
• Fixed an issue where data generated each night for NPCs wasn't available/generated when loading a save. Main player-noticeable effect of this is that areas tended to be empty due to lack of schedules for the NPCs to be following to wiggle around the world.
• Fixed a bug where trying to cook certain Russian food items would always fail regardless of cooking skill.
• Minor corrections to the hucow orientation text.

1.16.5

There's only a single fix for this one: re-enabling cheats and elite features, because I'm a dummy sometimes. You see, I thought I'd make cheats work more reliably when you're moving saves across versions/builds. Everything was looking good, tests went well, and I thought "let me just run a regex through the code to make sure I catch everything" This caught some things... but also caught a thing it wasn't supposed to... Sorry.

If you're playing the backer build of 1.16.4, there's no need to download the new version.
