SWEET LIBERTY it's finally done. Absolutely colossal update, almost all of these scenes are well above average length, some several times over. Rather than ramble about each one, I'll get to the point and list the new scenes/how to unlock them as relevant. Please let me know if I missed any or anything doesn't seem to be loading right.
It's worth noting that many of these have more stringent requirements than usual, since most are either tied to or relevant to the plot. Stellar Shadow, Astrologia Prep, Collect Thoughts, and Soil of Genesis are probably the biggest 4 with the most new reveals and characters.
Metatron Trust 20
Metatron Affection 18 (report Deepwoods results to Selendis)
Metatron Affection 20 (requires Astrologia setup)
Metatron corruption talk (from camp, requires Astrologia setup)
Maya Affection 14 (report Deepwoods results to Selendis)
Ashley Affection 16 (nighttime only)
Sarash Intro (Sarah scene, evening, must have seen Ash affection 16 above)
Stellar Shadow (nighttime, from camp, requires Astrologia setup)
Astrologia Prep (from camp, requires Astrologia setup)
Collect Thoughts (Siofra, evening, from camp, requires Astrologia setup)
Aspasia Affection 16 (requires Metatron's corruption camp scene)
Aspasia Affection 18
Soil of Genesis (Aspasia, must have watched Stellar Shadow and have watched 12 trust/18 affection scenes)
Celica affection 14 (report Deepwoods results to Selendis)
Thank you for your patience, and I hope you have fun!

Definitely took longer than I'd hoped, but there are a lot of large scenes here, important to each character's development, so hopefully it's worth the wait!
I'm especially fond of the Ina, Siofra, and Rosalyn scenes - I decided to try to focus on them to catch them up a bit to others and ensure they felt like full relationships, and in the first two cases, members of the camp.
Changelog;

Rosalyn gets two giant scenes, one full of reveals about her character - and your backstory - and another that's more about your growing relationship with each other. God I wish she would hug me.
Sarah, Ashley, and Metatron get a daytime conversation, touching on Bariura lore and giant mecha.
Siofra gets Trust 8, Affection 4, and Affection 6 scenes, significantly deepening your relationship with her and revealing more of her (mostly) likeable side.
Ina gets Trust 8, Trust 10, and Affection 8 scenes, showcasing a lot more of our favorite princess, plenty of Atlantis lore, and hinting at the start of a relationship.
Aspasia gets a Trust 12 scene with a moral quandary and some of her being surprisingly sweet.
Sam gets an Affection 16, following up her date withsome character development and cute moments!
Maya gets an Affection 12, which is equal parts her shitposting, lore about the east, and admitting you're alright, which is basically a declaration of love from her.
Sarah gets an affection 18, very comfy and sweet. Comfort food reading and I love her for it.
I'll be taking a short break to recuperate and finalize my plans for the next update, will post again in a few days, and fix bugs/typos as they are reported. Have fun!

10/13 Progress
Been plugging away at new stuff. Got a pretty meaty Siofra trust scene with some Gaea lore and the setup for Zephyrmancy, as well as a very chunky Rosalyn scene that finally reveals some of the secrets I've been hinting at for a while and continues to drive home mommy supremacy.

Divine Dawn 0.33 is finally out! Definitely took longer than I hoped, but it's a meaty update with more scenes than usual, and most of them are much larger than usual to boot, with several in the 4-5k+ word range.

Rosalyn gets two new scenes, a conversation (visit her after the Astrologia setup group scene) and a second conversation followed by a paizuri CG (choose Flirt in the conversation menu).
Aspasia gets a trust 10 scene, discussing golems, artificial intelligence, and what souls are. She loves this stuff.
Ina gets a 6 affection scene, which includes some discussion on whether Kuril or the MC would rock a dress better, along with more discussion of what relations are.
Sarah gets a 16 affection scene, with some MC childhood lore drops and her trying to be a supportive girlfriend. She's doing her best.
Ashley gets a 14 affection scene, discussing succubus lore and Ashley's stellar descriptive skills when she's trying to make a point. Especially when she's horny.
Siofra gets 2, 4, and 6 trust scenes, all of them very meaty and deeply philosophical. She has a lot more going on than 'smug goofy forest lady' and is happy to challenge the MC as well as be challenged by him. I meant that intellectually, but she would probably also be into ranked competitive sex.
Siofra also gets a 2 affection scene with some shameless flirting and fun lore. There WAS a 4 affection scene, but I lost it, and I'm still hopping mad two weeks later. I was really happy with it man. I'll rewrite it in a future update.
Sarah and Ashley get a massive evening affection scene, showing their growing bonds with the MC as well as a variety of conversation topics. Sarah is very cute and gets one extra bit if you have high strength, otherwise it's just a trio of goofs in a complicated relationship.

For once, I actually managed to stick to a schedule. Miracles can happen! Anyways, over the last few weeks I busted ass to fit in all the main content I had hoped to for this update, with a good mix of new stuff and content expansions for various girls. Sarah was definitely the big winner here, with a fancy new CG provided by Aragiken, but Ina, Maya, and Metatron all got some significant love too.
Changelog;

Sarah got a new lovey thighjob CG, attached to a very... ethereal sort of scene. If you needed a reminder that she's a succubus, not a normal girl, this is it.
Sarah also got a new trust scene, with a bit of character development, bonding, and hints for the future. Not all of them are good! Her finalizing her decision to invite Celica for the upcoming library research trip is, though.
Sarah also got an amusing new conversation, in which you and she discuss Ashley's viability as the true Demon Queen. Her answer may or may not surprise you.
Maya got a chonky new affection scene, which has her being almost suspiciously cute when she has her guard down. It also has doggo ear rubs. This is very important.
Ina trust 4 and 6, delving heavily into Sahuagin lore and her feelings about it. Not all are positive, but it's a good bonding experience.
Metatron gets a new trust 18, with a lot of emotions running rampant and a reveal of something that has been bothering her for some time. Robo-angel-wife has been going through a lot, please support her.
As always, I'll take a few days off to recuperate and fix bugs as needed, then get to work on the next update. Not sure exactly how long it will take - I don't wanna do any more giant 2 month updates, so probably more in the 2-4 week range, depends a bit on how much I want to fit in.
I did finally get a very special character's custom theme, so the next plot scene can happen with her in it. We'll see how ballsy I'm feeling later this week, lol.
Anyways! I hope you all enjoy the update! Let me know if there are any bugs or typos I missed, or if you just really enjoyed a scene - I love hearing feedback on that stuff, it can be hard to tell how well some scenes came out otherwise.

This one is mostly romancey, with a big focus on a very bespoke scene for Sam's first time, and most of the other girls getting something. Hopefully something for everyone. Failing that, next update will probably be a little more laid back, definitely faster, and have stuff for the girls I didn't do much with this time. More on that in a few days after this stabilizes and I decide exactly what I'm doing.
Changelog;

Sam's actual first time (affection 14), with a massive date, relationship building, special backgrounds, and a new CG courtesy of Aragiken! Watch an unusually fancy aurora with her and realize that you are not immune to tomboy propaganda.
Sam trust 16, which continues the events from her spar with Metatron and grants her a new Instant.
Maya affection 8, which has some pretty funny sprite movement and Maya being abnormally honest (sometimes). She's a very good dog.
General plot scene, which randomly occurs sometime after Ina joins. Bit of a callback to the scene when you leave on the adventure, with some character development and a fiery new arrival.
Celica trust 10, which sets up the totally-not-a-date with her and Sarah in the coming updates, and also has our beloved gremlin being vulnerable and cute. She's always cute.
Metatron affection 16, which starts off with her asking what it means for a woman to be demure, and kinda goes downhill from there.
Ina affection 4, in which you and a princess decide how to handle the eventual race war you're going to start by sleeping around too much.
As always, various bugfixes, I think I got everything people were complaining about but no doubt there will be 0.31a or b soon enough.

Holy shit I did NOT think it would take this long after Severn to get playable Ina, but at least the wait is finally worth it - ya gurl has finally joined the crew! Also Kuril and Kandros, mostly for the like 3 people who just want more bros.
Changelog;

Sarah affection 14, with entirely too much plot relevance to be in a random affection scene
Maya trust 12, showcasing Maya being less of a gremlin than usual (barely)
Metatron affection 14, in which Ashley is the MVP
Metatron conversation 5, further proving that Hieroneiden did nothing wrong
Ina joining scene (random event in camp, pass time/come back from adventure)
Ina trust 2. Got wood? She does! I promise that will be vaguely amusing when you read it, but no refunds.
Ina affection 2. Expect romance, get philosophical debates that get really depressing.
Ina, Kuril, and Kandros playable. Each has unique traits, some with funky mechanics!
Abilities are now sorted within an element by school. Martial arts are now color-coded by school as well - if people like it, I can do the same for magic schools.
Does anyone even want to read 'assorted bugfixes?' I feel like every patch notes has them, I never know what they mean, and frankly I don't even remember what I fixed.

Changelog;

Sarah gets her 12 trust, pushing us towards advanced nether magic and an upcoming Celica/Sarah brainiac scene!
Sam and Metatron get a group scene, a sparring match that goes pretty hard. As does Sam.
Sam and Metatron each get followup trust scenes, both of them important to the character, with some fun reveals - especially in Metatron's!
Aspasia gets a massive new evening scene, which includes a lot of characterization, development, and a new CG courtesy of Aragiken making good use of her nature as a slime!
Two new martial arts, Tiger and Crane, available from the start. Tiger is more aggressive, focusing on damage, bleeds, and a bit of utility; you can play it as a fast predator or patient hunter. Crane is more defensive, with plenty of ways to make yourself hard to kill and disrupt enemies, but lacks Tiger's damage output.
Both have a Form channel, which works similar to Harp channels - free, but mutually exclusive. While the Form is active, all abilities of that style gain additional effects.
The new martial arts each have 3 unique traits, some of which are only active when the Form is active.

Definitely took longer than I hoped, but I used that time to make the knight scene a lot chunkier and more reflective of past choices, so hopefully it feels worth it!
Changelog

A massive combi-scene covering your return to the knight camp after the Deepwoods finale, with some significant plot development and some major callbacks to previous major choices. Also includes Ina being thirstier than usual, which is a feat in and of itself.
Aspasia 12 and 14 affection scenes, pushing further into friendship and romance with the starstruck slime. Like, astronomy stars, not a metaphor for romance.
Sarah 10 trust gets moving on her own Rocky training montage, which is unsurprisingly less violent than Ashley's. Slightly more messed up tho.
Metatron 10 trust finally starts delving into Metatron's own martial art, as well as more trauma. That's gonna be a recurring theme.
Ashley affection 12 is mostly really wholesome, with a side dish of PTSD. She's a good girl. Might purr if you pet her.
Greatsword rework; 4 new traits, a few new support abilities, and several new elemental skills. It's still probably not as busted as Greataxe, but *way* safer and plays more into the unstoppable juggernaut vibe.
Some new music; Selendis and Ina each get their own themes!
A new knight, with art from alhazart. Same guy who did Kuril, Kandros, Svyatibor, etc.
As always, let me know if you run into any bugs, so I can fix them!
