Unholy Arts Supporter Version v0.3.12 Shapeshifter Guardian Changelog

Welcome, Candidates! Version 0.3.12 is finally finished, and thus I've updated the post that previously contained the Pre-Release version with all the finished content.

Today's update finally gets us in the final stretch of the Gleaming Caverns adventure, challenging you to a battle of wits and will against Nersmias. This segment of the game uses special mechanics, for which it'll be useful to come prepared through fortified stats, well rested willpower, hypnosis actions (remember that you can now get them by hunting monsters) and even recruiting help from other Candidates.

Depending on your results in this verbal battle, you may gain access to two optional, non-exclusive story paths: one where you finally get the chance to speak to Sillan, and another one where you become the focus of attention for a while, getting dragged to three sex scenes involving exhibitionism, free use and humilliation. The gender and sex of the involved characters depends on your settings.

Because most of the content of today's update involves spoilers, I've made a much shorter changelog, and uploaded a text guide throughfully explaining all the mechanics at play, the different potential endings and the consequences of most options - but I advise you to use it only as a last resource.

Enjoy the update!

Version v0.3.12 changelog

Story
- It is now possible to talk to Nersmias when he's at the Temple of Harmony. He will only agree to discuss once, and your conversation may have large impacts in the story.
* Only possible if no one else is currently speaking with Nersmias.
* This conversation may lead to an extra conversation and/or to a sex scene, in case you don't get kicked out.
* Several special mechanics, including hypnosis from his part, and from yours if you are capable of using it. The guide at the bottom of this post includes all relevant information, but you should try playing this segment blind at least once.

Map actions
- Apart from the action that allows the player to speak to Nersmias, there's a parallel action for NPC Candidates.
* Weight of 1 by default (meaning it's extremely unlikely for them to select this action), increased to 10 if they feel strongly about Valtan one way or another.
* The NPCs who speak with Nersmias will influence his views, moderately changing his initial attitudes when it's the player's turn to speak with him and maintaining a larger influence of his global, hidden values.
* NPCs who speak with Nersmias while they support Valtan *not* being forgiven will gain Shapeshifter tribe respect.

Adventure requests
- Ask opinion on Valtan's situation: Asks the Candidate if Valtan should be forgiven by the Shapeshifter tribe, and if she should get the chance to speak one more time with Sillan. This interaction serves to gauge where lie the goals of this Candidate.
* Costs 5 social drive.
* Will only accept by passing a relationship check: (Friendship + Romance - Enmity + (Submission-Domination(Won't be lower than 0)) >= 5.
- Discuss with Nersmias: Asks the Candidate to discuss Valtan's situation with Nersmias, arguing in favor of their own positions. Naturally, you should only ask this to characters defending positions you agree with.
* Costs 5 favor.
* Relationship check, same values as the previous adventure request >= 7.

Misc Map Changes
- On the first day, Nersmias starts at the assembly, and will come back to the Temple of Harmony when the discussion among the judges is finished.

Misc Story Changes
- When talking with Drishtya about Nersmias, she will now suggest to ask the other Candidates for help, as this option could be missed for some players.
- It is no longer possible to talk with Drishtya about Nersmias if the Nersmias Social Battle has already taken place.

Bug Fixes
- Corrected the key of the action "Extra mount from behind", which was breaking the option to learn it through the Cheat Menu.
- Fixed somewhat rare bug that would crash the game after NPC Candidates would lose in battle to monsters. Their AIs were anguishing in agony because they were trapped in a semi-fake room and couldn't move, but now they sleep.
- Fixed somewhat rare bug that could provoke the voyeur scenes to crash if a battle involving different NPCs took place around the same time.
- Added checks to fix the player character's bars going negative during the Caverns Rescue map story event.
- Dynamically generated anonymous Shapeshifters now learn base sex moves.
- Added action weight modifications to make NPCs much more likely to target their "fixedTarget"s when defined.
