Oh hey,
It's Thaum. Just a quick note from me in case you were curious. Took 3-4 days off after the 1.28.1 bug fix'n release. Transferred the kids over to the grandparents for a month vacation, and that seems to have done the trick. At least for now, burnout is at bay and I've been chugging along. Spending more time on a different project seems to have helped, and I was trying to take it a little easier. Still lots of cool AW stuff from me though. Now on to the change log message as imagined by a friendly cat.
Besty's Change Log
Phew, what a month! Besty is here this time because Thaum is working on a super-duper secret new project which we really hope to release this year. All I can say is that it will be glorious and cool. Maybe even cooler than that to be honest. Anyway, back to AW. I know my English is not perfect but bear with me, please.
This month we've worked hard on making Hucow Path a fully working gameplay experience. Until now the milk and financial calculations were not in place which made the coop fun to explore but a bit lacking in terms of actual gameplay. So, happy to announce that it should be fixed in this release since we implemented a couple of important systems which I will talk about in the change log. Also, there are new scenes and even some attempts to be satirical about the current zeitgeist!
We are hoping to wrap up the COOP expansion in the next months delivering a solid and enjoyable experience before moving forward with AW. Accidental Woman is a game that can be expanded almost infinitely and we are very grateful that you guys stay with us on this journey! Your continuous support is the thing that keeps Arcanist software afloat and there is no way to express our gratitude for that.
Anyway, let's get to the fun part and see what we have for you in stock this month:
Note from Thaum: I'm merging our change logs into a single list.
Change Log
Words: 3,622,233 (24,789,660 characters)
Codes: 189,822 lines of TypeScript (plus plenty of other stuff, ofc)
- New triangle distribution function because I'm a nerd.
- Added some minor stuff to the dev toolkit (elite build)
- Changed character creation key icon into locked and unlocked icons to be more clear.
- Completion of the major Lactation System upgrade!
- Several uses of that triangle thingamajig above for fancier maths to do things like S curves.
- Update of lactation description in status and elsewhere to use more accurate words that line up with the real production rates.
- Lactation training can now reduce overnight for non-hucow characters depending on their current training level. Reduction is more likely at higher training levels.
- New lactation training cap based on body lactation ability.
- Updated minimum lactation training setup, added checks to ensure minimum is adhered to.
- Reworked the way lactation training is gained during milk pumping to be more accurate and character-responsive.
- Initial gains are faster than gains at higher levels
- Effects of different pumps balanced.
- Far better responsiveness to lactation ability and specific character for determining gains.
- Lactation training guide (game encyclopedia) updated and expanded with more info.
- Lactation training overall now utilizes fancy math probability curves for increases and decreases. Because for some reason AW lactation is really realistic in a lot of ways (except with some fun boosts)
- Tweaks of lactation numbers for balancing.
- Several adjustments to math for milk production.
- example: changing math for how character health impacts.
- much better calculation milk flow rate during milking.
- Fixed a minor issue with milk tank cheat affecting production.
- Character creation lactation selection redone.
- help popup totally rewritten to be properly accurate with new system.
- terminology fixed in describing lactation levels
- renamed lactation ability instead of "milk production" to reduce confusion.
- Total rework of "penalty" section of lactation code. (code that can reduce lactation training when full, cause spilling, pain, etc.)
- Better notifications text for clarity when alerted about full breasts.
- Milk can no longer go above 109% capacity without spilling.
- No leak cheat user will have milk amount adjusted without spill.
- Rather than a simple "spill" there is now a letdown system that provides a chance to have your breasts let down and start releasing milk.
- Breasts can letdown once they reach 90% full.
- The chance of this starts small and increases as they become more full.
- This is more like the behavior of actual tits.
- Amount of spilled milk is no longer a simple percentage and is now calculated based on breast factors.
- lactation training reduction now occurs much more naturally, and takes into account the current lactation training and the PC's lactation ability.
- Is independent of other factors.
- lactation training can start to reduce after reaching 90% of capacity.
- Status penalties for full breasts are now more sane, probably.
- New lactation predictive function.
- Because lactation is highly dependent on character actions, a special function is needed to model actions and "step forward" through time to calculate total milk production over a number of hours.
- This is primarily used for hucows, and also allows us to determine NPC lactation without running code every 15 game minutes.
- Allows us to set milk quotas based on realistic udder values responding to the player's body and actual ability.
- most important part.
- assumes you'll be a good hucow though...
- even more math for an ensemble prediction to limit extremes.
- Organization and consolidation of all lactation functions.
- Differentiation between standard and hucow class milk production working on the same system.
- Various breast mutations/transformations now affect all characters, with proper formulas behind it rather than ad-hoc adjustments.
- Hucow lactation focus system added to adjust milk based on daily choices at work (and episodes outside) to maximize or reduce production.
- lots of minor improvements and things I don't remember.
- Improved the omni timer kill function to increase reliability and handle potential duplicate statuses.
- Additional differentiation added to time chunking to allow 15 minute status function to perform actions at less than 15 minute intervals when needed.
- Significant updates to the body condition and clothes staining systems.
- Rework of external and internal body condition interface, and total rework of internal fluid handling.
- note that sperm cells are handled separately in much more detailed simulation, but the two are linked.
- Fluid now leaks out of orifices over time!
- More math! (for determining how much, etc.)
- Leaking fluid now travels to the first outside condition zone (genitals or ass crack) where it can do all the usual things, spreading, staining, drying, etc.
- System now handles miniscule amounts, for better response to small stains such as a little pussy wetness or a single cum spurt.
- improved terminology for describing how much of a fluid is on the body, with additional levels of gradation.
- New absorption setup determining how fast fluid is absorbed by the body. (for example, cum is absorbed by the body faster in the anus!)
- When placing body conditions from things like creampies/enemas/fem lube, fluid is now universally placed inside the orifice before flowing out, for more realistic behavior.
- Dramatic improvement to how fluids dry.
- Improvement to wetness mechanic. (e.g. is it fresh cum, or tacky nearly dry cum?)
- New body condition location: butt cleft (ass crack).
- Internal fluids no longer dry on their own, but can be absorbed or leak.
- Math on how this happens results in more natural flow of fluids out of orifices, more realistic absorption, and a better curve of time fluids are in there.
- Wetness and leaking improvements.
- Much improved code for determining vaginal wetness across the 0-20 scale.
- Still uses arousal and body values, but with a more realistic determination and transition.
- Anal wetness is now a thing.
- You can also get your panties dirty this way, I suppose.
- Only characters that have their anal wetness increased to above 0 will have to worry about this.
- reworked system for femlube happening due to arousal.
- In addition to better current wetness calculation, fluid is now added to internal vaginal/anal fluids instead of directly to the body.
- Behavior of liquids now works more naturally as in real life.
- because internal fluids use a smaller unit size, it allows more granularity and a more natural ramp up of lube production.
- small amounts of lube now happen at lower arousal levels, starting with a "slightly damp panties" level of accrual.
- now based in ml/min lubricant production.
- Improvements to orgasm pussy wetness to use new "internal-first" setup.
- Pussy Seal added to the game!
- For players who want a wet pussy, but don't want to get their underwear/clothes wet I guess.
- Also for people who want to run around with just a pussy bandage for clothing, because it does that too.
- Or people who want to keep other fluids inside, because it alters semen mechanics (because stuff can't escape in one direction)
- Come in a pack of 21, available at both pharmacies for 18 credits.
- Each one lasts about 18 hours.
- Prevents fluids leaking from vagina.
- Can be removed early.
- Prevents "naked bottom" status, but doesn't act as clothes in most situations (you can just peel for easy access). Still results in the exposed status (which is legal).
- changes semen simulation in certain key ways.
- Lot of cool text, multiple painstakingly photoshopped images with drawn patches.
- application images and for below ad.
- An ad appears when "reading something" (wasting time on phone).
- Sticky cum mutation has been enabled in the semen simulation mechanics.
- Fixed issue where Tincow clothes had an invalid price.
- Muschi Valley map has been updated.
- Now has more teeny tiny farm buildings scattered around.
- Farm COOP buildings on the map more closely matches the actual zoomed-in map.
- Two new clickable areas.
- Farmer Jim Stones added to the game.
- He's got big nuts and he cannot lie.
- Sorry.
- Discover him in the COOP office, he's in a documentary!
- Ask about where he lives.
- Find him on the map and visit him.
- ???
- Profit.
- (3 different sex acts, plenty of text)
BESTY SECTION
- Fixed a bug that prevented the third hucow punishment scene from showing. It was written last month but was inaccessible. Well, now it can be seen (just be a bad hucow and break rules enough times).
- Cowbucks! The internal COOP money is fully functional now.
- Almost all COOP fast food and shops accept Cowbucks instead of Credits now.
- The cowbucks are given to your character every week, the amount is based on your milk productivity (Meeting the milk quota).
- Beware, the COOP takes have interest when loaning your character cowbucks so you can increase your indentured debt rather quickly with it!
- If you need more real Credits for paying in the outside world you can use an ATM in the West Barn area to exchange Cowbucks for Credits. *The exchange rates can vary. **Can't exchange back.
- General Hucow Finances:
- Your indentured debt is calculated properly now and will change according to your milk production and other things.
- You can watch the last ten changes in the new menu on the Career page (or in the financial tab of the end-of-the-week screen).
- Changed the end-of-the-weel screen so it reflects Hucow's finances better. Additional block with debt, cowbucks, and other was added.
- Most of the Credits spendings are now taken care of by COOP so your character can focus on being a good hucow and just producing the precious milk.
- Milk quota.
- Thaum will write it here I hope but in short it calculates the amount of milk you are expected to give to COOP each week. The number is sophisticatedly calculated somehow.
- It's lich magic. (also, see thaum section)
- Not meeting the quota results in getting punished.
- Meeting or even exceeding the quota can provide your character with benefits! Lovely.
- All of the mentioned things depend on the game difficulty settings. On the harder levels, your debt can get out of control pretty soon.
- Small expansion of the COOP milking scene.
- Just a picture of a nice friendly dairy hand commenting on your appearance.
- It will be a full-fledged scene next release. For now on enjoy the pic and the small flavor text.
- Hucoins!
- A cryptocurrency app available for all hucows.
- You can tap on titties and earn Hucoins!
- You can get new ranks and get cool skins for the app!
- Also you may be able to exchange Hucoins to Cowbucks. Maybe. This is not a scam. Not at all.
- New character — Jessy "Viking" James.
- Made following the suggestions of one of the members of our discord server.
- A muscular blonde girl with some interesting kinks and traits.
- Completely dateable and interactable.
- Can be found in the downtown area (evening).
- A new character — Lousie!
- Not a full-fledged NPC, she only appears in certain events. Maybe this will be changed later if you would like her.
- She is into watersports and is a Thornton test subject.
- Two scenes with her, both can happen randomly if you stroll around downtown. (8000 chars).
- The second one happens only if you meet Lousue in the first one.
- Since the content is potentially not for everybody it is gated so your character won't stumble upon her if you haven't set the flag for "watersports" in settings.
- Small CG update
- When using the CoerceMe app to find a date, NPCs will usually have some BDSM toys with them to make you more obedient and helpless.
- I will add more stuff to the CG next month since it needs a bit more attention to become even more cool.
- Changed the size of the boobs needed to play the Titjob card. Now you only need B-sized boobs to perform a titjob.
- WTF? - love, Thaum
