It’s finally time to tie up the investigation into Tychris’s cursed princess!

Plus, Fleep’s given us some delightful new sex scenes with the Coastlands bandit gang, and there’s a host of new sex scenes with Tychris’s Magister Vasko.

Also before we get into the new Backer Content, there’s been a hotfix to the Public and Steam builds to address a number of bugs, particularly with Argoth/Arona’s encounter. Sorry about that! See “Fixup” below for specifics!

0.9.6 Patch Notes:

• It is now possible to complete the investigation aspect of The Princess’s Dilemma. (Uncursing the princess, and your material and nuptual rewards, are my current writing project and is well underway!). Once you have sufficient evidence as to who the culprit is, or have apprehended them yourself, you can talk to Tethys to resolve the quest.
• New Tychris NPC: Gaspare, the Emissary. After having met Ynes, you’ll find an emissary from Tychris’s rival state, Maidenbridge, having just arrived in the palace. He has a number of talk topics that may shed some light on your investigations.
• If you’ve met Lusina and brought her to the Marefolk camp, Gaspare will have some additional information; you can bring this to Lusina for a new talk scene.
• New Tychris NPC: Captain Tyna. (By Skow!) The Captain of the Palace Guard can be found in the barracks on the first floor. She has a the expected talks, as well as a trio of repeatable sex scenes in her private office.
• New Tychris Event: Wrestling! The city loves its athletics, and what better way to show it than some oiled up, naked wrestling — and a little training with the guards on how to conduct yourself with the world’s more amorous threats. (By Skow!)
• You can now sic Cait on Kythie and use her Mallachite talents to tame the princess’s libido at any time, rather than JUST when you first arrive in town. This should reduce the amount of grinding on the princess’s abs low-Libido Champions need to do to to progress the quest! You can also visit Kythie without Cait, if you throw Cait into the mix after having laid her out yourself.
• After you’ve seen Sigrune once, you’ll unlock a [Prince Philandros] talk with Princess Kythie; this will lead you on an event chain that will, finally, unlock the giant’s non-combat path through the Old Forest’s ancient archway. (This doesn’t change anything post-encounter; don’t feel obligated to start a new save!)
• If you burgle Kythie’s jewelry, you’ll find one of her maids in Tychris Palace’s courtyard being punished for your crimes. You bastard.
• By sleeping with Eirina, you have the opportunity to steal a tome of valuable forbidden magic. Besides learning it yourself (if you haven’t done so from Ynes), you can pass this tome off to either Lady Evergreen or Magister Vasko.
• Giving the tome to Vasko unlocks a suite of sex scenes with him! (By Bluebird!)
• After snooping around in Vasko’s books, you’ll have a new talk topic with Tethys about what he’s been researching.
• After having gotten the invitation to Ynes’s ritual and then having either supped the forbidden soup in Vasko’s office and found the Velunite amulet outside or having seen his receipt for a grail and visited the Temple of Elosa, Magister Vasko will have a new talk sequence.
• Said new sequence can go a number of different ways. On one route, you can unlock Vasko’s sex scenes (without having to give him the tome); on another, if you happen to have a couple of Bimbo Brews in your inventory, you can ALSO unlock some very DIFFERENT sex content with the Magister. (Mostly by Bluebird, though I wrote the initial sex scenes here!)
• All the way back on the Coastlands: the Coastland Bandit Gang (with the salamander, bunny-bard, and foxgirls) now have a suite of win/loss scenes. (Courtesy of Fleep!)
• We’ve altered the button placement for stairs going up/down, after I spent entirely too long in a braindead loop going up and down the same pair of stairs. Up and Down are now in CONSISTENT PLACES on the UI.
• Fixup: A bunch of errors in Argoth/Arona’s demonic encounter should be cleared up now. They got a little gender confused, happens to us all.
• Fixup: Demon!Argoth/Arona’s bad end now functions properly.
• Fixup: The Salamander Spellblade now has its proper stats, rather than being a Spiral Blade copy.
• Fixup: Eirina’s stats have been tweaked on her sidequest.

As stated, I’m working on the quest wrapup and post-quest Kythie stuff now. My coders, meanwhile, are digging into some other Tychris NPCs: a certain blonde merchant for starters! And I think the edits to Astraea’s Tychris content will be done soon, too, so she’ll be on the code block before we know it.
