Woo! It's that time again.

I'm a little dizzy at the moment, so forgive the exuberance. There's tons of exciting stuff for you with this release, and also some other exciting stuff. At least half of my plans for the last month totally changed, but I think it worked out quite well! Let's jump into some of the stuff.

First: We're working on expanding the new avatar even further. Unfortunately despite the work invested, the art itself won't be ready until the 1.35 release (fingers crossed). This update will include all sorts of things: lighter areola/nipples for non-pregnant characters (the current shade will be for pregnant characters), jewelry, piercings including nipples and belly button, breastmilk leak and spray, and... clothing. We're aiming to have a good selection of clothes available, based on the in-game styles and paper doll. We're also using a neutral color spread so we can do tonal modifications (hue, saturation, luminosity) on the fly and represent the various clothing colors, without every item being the exact same color. Doing proper color adjustment is a lot more work than the usual hue rotation slider you see in some other text-based games I can think of, but the results are much better so it's worth it. We'll also have bulges and such, along with things like cum on panties and whatnot. We may have to make a few style concessions for the tops (particularly bras) due to all the breast sizes, but I think we'll be able to get some good-looking stuff.

Second: We've added a new member to the Arcanist team! This brings us back up to three full-time people (plus me) after we let our Unity developer zPoly go (details on that can be found here). A big thanks to all of you who contribute money, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be able to tempt all these people into dubious careers in adult game development. Our new person is a dedicated writer, and she'll be working primarily on AW to help add content even faster. We call her Misa; she has years of experience working in game development and we have high hopes. In fact, she actually wrote a tiny bit of content this week, just testing as she gets set up and learns the lore. It's a small addition for the spa at the Lake Clitea Resort.

As far as stuff goes, I started on one thing needed to finish the Ruttin' Roulette event, and somehow ended up going sideways with all the other stuff going on... so now you've got a bunch of new mutations, a new drug, cheat stuff, and a new cybernetic implant. The plan for the next few months is to clean up loose ends (like unfinished content) and get the hucow experience done. After that we'll do the next big vote for the subject of our next expansion, and while that's going on we'll add more content to the hucow experience where it seems to be needed and probably add some more interconnection with normal play.

Thanks a bunch for all your support, we hope you enjoy the release!

Change Log

• Better code to determine the gender of babies, now responds appropriately to items skewing the ratio such as being a hucow.
• Issue with womb pregnancy experience has been fixed, Progenerate job bonus has been improved, and the way certain factors are utilized has been improved. Net result is larger burst thresholds.
• Major rework to the Saradberol treatment.
• Code determining if zygotes split has been completely reworked. It's now more functional and reliable.
• Saradberol is now available in doses rather than as a single treatment, which modifies the effectiveness.
• The Saradberol effect now last 7 days and will effect all wombs and not just the first womb to ovulate.
• In the case of multiple doses, after 7 days the dose strength will decrease and begin a new 7 day timer.
• A new Saradberol treatment scene at the Gestique clinic has been added. It includes some dose-size-based text along with images, and replaces the one-sentence scene and progenerate image.
• There is no longer a "safety valve" reducing the effectiveness of saradberol based on the number of zygotes.
• The player can be under the effect of up to 4 doses of Saradberol at once.
• Being under the effect of 4 doses of Saradberol has a chance to cause the Unstable Zygotes mutation, odds are based on the character's fertility.
• If the player doesn't have the Unstable Zygotes mutation and is not under the effect of any Saradberol, they can get up to 5 doses.
• 5 doses is guaranteed to cause the mutation. See new mutation section below for details on what it does.
• There is a bulk purchase price discount, making each dose cheaper the more you have administered.
• A single dose causes about a 40% chance of any given zygote splitting at implantation. This increases by 20% for each additional dose.
• Being at strength 4 or 5 when a zygote splits gives a 20% chance that one of the split zygotes will split again.
• Current Saradberol concentration in the womb can now be seen in the character status menu (with sufficient knowledge).
• Saradberol now only affects vaginal wombs as intended.
• Related note: zygotes/fetuses that are twins are now tracked, meh.
• Perpetual Ovaries Mutation Improvement
• Some code improvements for more seamless function.
• The mutation now has three levels instead of being a on/off mutation
• The new level 1 is similar in strength to the mutation before the changes.
• Better handling of extended/strong orgasms and current menstrual cycle phase for each womb.
• Improved mechanics for triggering increased egg release when ovulation is already scheduled.
• Now linked with new Hormonal Trigger mutation for combo mutation (Ovarian Trigger).
• OmniWomb Mutation Change
• Now called "Merged Wombs" and affects only the womb A/B combo.
• The enhanced womb is accounted for all over the place, and provides some bonuses in certain areas.
• Superfetation is still enabled, but only affects the merged wombs.
• Now has a bonus to womb strength that is multiplicative with Reinforced Womb mutation.
• New/Improved cheats
• Can now add parasitic testicles in the mutations menu
• New fertility options to add zygotes or fetuses to a womb.
• Can now trigger ovulation in a specific womb, some other stuff works better with secondary wombs.
• All new mutations added to mutation menu. Note that combo mutations can not be toggled and happen automatically when the character has all required mutations.
• Omni Fertilis Utero supermutation can be enabled.
• New Mutations!
• All new mutations/changes display in character details menu and are described in the encyclopedia w/ effects.
• Only some can be obtained currently without cheats. Some have planned sources in the future, others are still a mystery.
• Unstable Zygotes:
• Gives a 20% chance that a zygote will split before implantation
• This occurs before other split mechanics, so Saradberol or natural chance can result in one or both of the split zygotes to split again.
• Affects all wombs, not just vaginal ones.
• Can be obtained by getting a huge dose of Saradberol.
• Hormonal Trigger
• Semen coming in contact with your cervixes causes hormones to be released that can trigger ovulation.
• Has three levels of strength, higher strength causes ovulation to be more likely to be triggered.
• Chance of ovulation being triggered depends on the amount of cum and point in the womb's menstrual cycle.
• Odds are determined using a diminishing return based on semen contact, so the chance of ovulation doesn't jump straight to 100% with a large creampie.
• the calculation is made a single time for each womb at the end of the day, using all the semen, and not individually for each time semen hits a cervix.
• Combines with Perpetual Ovaries to create Ovarian Trigger, changing the effect of both mutations.
• Currently can only be obtained via cheats. You can imagine the kind of shenanigans this will emerge from (Sacred Knowledge Site 3)
• Ovarian Trigger [Combo Mutation]
• Occurs when possessing any level of Perpetual Ovaries and any level of Hormonal Trigger. Losing one of the required mutations also removes Ovarian Trigger.
• Changes the behavior of Perpetual Ovaries:
• Smooths out the probability curve attached to the menstrual cycle, making spasms more likely in nearly all cases.
• Perpetual Ovaries no longer trigger an ovulation event.
• spasms prepare additional follicles for ovulation as before, but now do so on days when the character isn't ovulating. Previously, additional eggs could only be added on a day when ovulation was already set to occur.
• Some changes to the math for potential bonus follicles.
• Changes to the behavior of Hormonal Trigger:
• Determination for whether ovulation occurs is now heavily dependent on the number of prepared eggs in addition to the semen exposure. The fewer follicles that are ready, the lower the chance ovulation will be triggered.
• Higher levels of the HT mutation reduce the odds of ovulation, requiring a higher amount of prepared eggs and/or semen before ovulation is triggered. Higher levels cause larger ovulation events when ovulation is triggered this way.
• For extra fun, combine with the No Cyclical Ovulation mutation.
• Superfetation
• Basically what it says on the tin. Allows ovulation, fertilization, and implantation to continue even when pregnant.
• Affects ALL wombs, and not just the primary as with Merged Wombs.
• Be careful, a womb burst could sneak up on you with an unexpected/large ovulation.
• Currently only available via cheats, will likely be connected to bunny-adjacent transformations in the future, perhaps aliens.
• No Cyclical Ovulation
• Prevents ovulation from being triggered by the normal progress of the menstrual cycle.
• Without another method for ovulation to occur, either medication or mutation, the character won't ovulate at all and generally won't become pregnant.
• Only available via cheats, will occur in connection with certain transformations in the future (like cats, who require additional stimulus to ovulate), also as a consequence of new experimental/black market birth control.
• Omni Fertilis Utero
• The crown jewel of the Sacred Knowledge Storyline, will be obtained from the goddess directly if resurrected (conclusion quest) after finishing the three Sacred Knowledge episodes.
• As you would expect, turns the character into the perfect breeding machine.
• Grants all female fertility enhancing mutations and prevents their removal.
• Enhances female fertility factors to their maximum values.
• Causes the character to ovulate every day.
• --Will probably do some other nonsense too, suggestions welcome!--
• Hyperovulation
• Causes every ovulation to be a superovulation (multiple egg). Works on a separate mechanism from the standard multiple ovulation, modeled after egg harvesting hormone protocols.
• Acts as a multiplier to baseline ovulation, enhancing whatever level of ovulation would naturally occur thanks to high fertility, multiple ovulation mutation, fertility boosters, etc.
• Effect ranges from 3 to 4 times multiplier, tending towards 4 for the types of characters that would get it in the first place.
• Is not multiplicative with ovulations caused by stimulatory events such as orgasms and certain drugs.
• Additive with the Rapaprex effect, increasing the strength.
• Can be obtained by taking Rapaprex doses each day for 21 days (3x the standard 7 day maximum duration of Rapaprex)
• New Drug - Rapaprex
• This time the name came straight out of a random drug name generator. Sounds like it should be a pregnancy accelerator (rapa-rapid prex-pregnancy rx) but it's not.
• Also not rape related, which seemed to be the thought when I shared the name on Discord... Sorry.
• Initially created to use as a penalty in the Ruttin' Roulette event, but then expanded.
• Based on egg harvesting for IVF treatment, but a lot less annoying for the player.
• Can be purchased in 7-day courses from Gestique.
• increases in effectiveness each time taken as long as it is taken continuously.
• If ovulation occurs on the first day it is taken, there will be no benefit.
On day 2 it will cause a 2x multiplier to baseline ovulation.
• This increases by one each day up until day 6 when it will be a x6 multiplier.
• The multiplier increases by 1 every 2 days afterward up to x12 on day 18.
• Taking for 21 days causes a small scene and grants the Hyperovulation mutation.
• Taking two doses on the same day will only "count" as a single dose.
• Taking two doses within 16 hours of each other will cause some ovary bursts (small event plus effect).
• Scene hinting that your ovaries have exploded.
• Ovulation is triggered for all wombs.
• Huge increase to baseline ovulation that would then be affected by Rapaprex dose
• Ovaries are destroyed afterward and will no longer ovulate normally
• There is currently no way to heal this damage. Additional wombs added after the event wouldn't have burst ovaries though.
• Possibly too mean to be permanent, might add a repair option somewhere later. I just thought it'd be amusing if the very specific warning was real and not a secret way to get a bonus/mutation/etc. as usual, but also have that usual bonus happen for seriously exceeding the recommended course.
• Causes a range of mental side effects like you'd expect from an intense hormonal treatment.
• A single random effect occurs every 2 hours.
• Variable reduction in happiness 3 in 6
• Increases stress 1 in 6
• Reduces satisfaction 1 in 6
• Increases arousal 1 in 6
• New Cybernetic Implant - Pregnaid
• Cutting-edge technology for the incautious--prevents the womb burst bad end from occurring.
• When getting a free pregnancy checkup at Gestique and a burst is impending, there is a new option to get a Pregnaid implant.
• The Pregnaid is effective for a single womb, and is removed at the end of pregnancy when giving birth. Multiple wombs/pregnancies would require multiple implants
• The price is quite steep at 500 credits, and requires the player to either have a 300 credit balance or an approved credit account from Faust or Indigo.
• Installation comes with a scene in addition to the improved pregnancy checkup scene.
• When installed, it appears in the womb-by-womb status information on the womb it is installed for. Also appears in the general information with a hover image.
• Comes with a vaginal plug attachment that is indicated by a new 'pussy plug' status icon.
• The plug does not interfere with sex or anything else, may have more effects if/when vaginal plug sex toys are implemented.
• Causes a small arousal gain over time when arousal level is low, has a chance to cause a small arousal gain when arousal is at a medium-low level.
• Improved the message text for alerting the player to certain time-based status change errors.
• Character Status Menu Improvements
• Fixed issue causing characters without advanced knowledge about their fertility to be informed of their pregnancies.
• Womb status information display improved.
• Information on ovulation and other factors is now properly hidden or vague depending on player's fertility knowledge.
• Pregnancy fetus count value is now color coded. It will appear red when count exceeds the safe limit (burst will occur), and will be amber when count is 90% or more of the safe limit.
• Maximum safe pregnancy size is now indicated for characters with advanced fertility knowledge. Includes all bonuses, is not an estimate.
• Some formatting/visual improvements.
• Doctor Sow and the Free Pregnancy Checkup
• Doctor Sow now has a picture of her.
• Checkup now properly accounts for all wombs.
• Better reliability/handling of scene based on character details
• Expanded and improved text.
• Clearer options and explanation for invalid choices.

• Begonia — a goth hucow with some nasty booze addiction.
• A bit more grim and tragic character amidst the happy-go-lucky herd members. Also dommy! Your very own big tiddy goth hucowfriend lol.
• Also some sexiness included! Will be expanded in next release.
• 9000 chars of text.

• Riesewoods equine club opens its doors for the lovers of good riding!
• A location accessible from the Riesewoods. Shannon and Reaper the stallion will gladly show you around!
• Pretty proud of these scenes.
• Due to the fertility system limitations your character can actually get pregnant despite obvious genetic incompatibility. Deal with it lol.
• This is not due to limitations in the fertility system... Besty has some other dark purpose here... - Thaum

• Evening activity system
• Added a specific event for a preggo characters.
