v0.10 is now in its final stages, and will be fully complete within the next week or two.
I'm committed to the November 4th release date. Since Steam does not allow release dates to be changed within 2 weeks of release, you can rest assured there won't be any delays. It's coming!
A new scene has been added to Act 2, where the MC can choose to fight Oruth with magic instead of swords. This approach puts them at much less of a disadvantage, as the MC quickly overpowers Oruth. While the sword version of events felt a bit reckless and irrational, opting to use magic will instead advance the plot through the MC underestimating their own power. My hope is that this magic version of events will address some of the criticisms players had with the MC's characterization in the original scene.
I've also expanded a few of the earlier scenes to show Valerie behaving more seductively. I felt it was important to emphasize this side of her succubus nature, which so far has been relatively tame. I'll likely be expanding this even further over the next few updates.
Much of the dialogue during fight scenes has also been revised. There have been some complaints about the fight scene dialogue feeling a bit clichรฉ, so I've removed most of the tropes and one-liners, replacing them with lines that are more restrained and natural. Among other changes, I've also adjusted some of Valerie's dialogue to reduce her use of modern-day slang. Overall, v0.10 should see a significant improvement in writing quality.
Additionally, this update will allow players to discuss their boundaries and relationship with Valerie, if you previously chose to allow her flirting with customers. I had originally planned this to be part of v0.11, but instead moved it to a scene in the current update. This means Valerie will be able to fool around with a customer in the next update - but only if you explicitly choose to allow it.

I hope you look forward to playing v0.10! I'll be posting one more progress update before the November 4th release.
If there's time in the next few weeks, I'd also like to create a few crossover images (Valerie x Rita) for the Premium tier.

If you can, following Rebel Duet on Steam or adding it to your wishlist would help a lot!
