Version 508a Dev Notes
- A full release gives us the chance to gather much more feedback than our (heroic, but small) playtesting team can provide alone! So we’ve put together a mini-update to share all the tweaks and fixes we’ve made over the last week.

v508 Tweaks
- Darja’s scene with Maelys can be accessed in Act V, although we currently lack dedicated art for if Darja is pregnant during it.
- Maelys’s cell will be more consistently dark if she is despairing or severed.
- Maelys’s history of threesomes will be remembered as they happen, to reference in future events.
- Tormenting severed Maelys will be remembered, and referenced in other dialogue.
- Naho’s statue, if you have one, is now proudly on display in the Act V palace hallways.
- Sabetha and Inej’s arrival events are now in the main lair event queue as well as the sleep queue. This will make them trigger more reliably, and they can now do so during Act IV.
- Valzira’s pregnant scenes will mark where dedicated art is expected to arrive soon.
- Scene direction for Valzira’s egg-laying scene has been improved to make best use of the greater variety of CGs available.
- The proteans will be clearer about who they want as their priestess when you first meet them.
- The Realm map is more saturated when you mouse over a territory, to help you identify targets.
- The Gallery entry for Heloise’s palace scene will feature her additional new image set.
- The Gallery entries for Naho’s Act V scenes will allow you to take the new routes within those scenes.
- The Gallery entry for Valzira’s egg-laying scene uses the new art for its thumbnail.
- The Gallery entry for Valzira’s egg-laying scene will ask you whether you would like to see the normal or nuggie edition.
- Returning to your lair’s main menu will fade out all voices and goopy sound effects currently in progress.
- The ‘Bring Your Daughter To Work Day’ achievement now has unique art.
v508 Fixes

- Hector will not turn invisible after swearing his oath of allegiance.
- Seeing Heloise’s dream will not reset the dreams you have seen previously.
- Visiting Maelys in her despairing or severed state will not cause repeated transitions to occur.
- Malagar should be correctly inaccessible in Act V if you load an old save in which you have not empowered him.
- Mother failing to conquer the swamp will not cause the Hundred Companies to lose Morale in sympathy.
- Valzira should actually be available to visit in Act V, now, if you have broken her.
- Valzira’s pregnant broken captive scene will display a cleaner floor in its first image.
- Valzira’s pained and smug emotes for her broken state are appearing correctly.
