Hints for v0.14.0

In the changelog, for every major named update, I always add a little "Hints" section that details how you can access various pieces of new content in the update. Because the changelog is a big, unruly mess that can be hard to find your way around, from now on I will reproduce this section as a Patreon post.

Please note that the following may contain some spoilers, if you care about that sort of thing. Further note that this list is not exhaustive and you should refer to the changelog for a complete list of everything that has been added to the game.

• If you meet certain conditions, you can explore in the forest before moving on with the first task in chapter 5 for a special sequence of events that is miss-able, and unlocks a certain special ending in the game! It is important to do this soon, if you meet with Rais first after starting chapter 5, you'll miss the opportunity! Alternatively, because these events in the forest forever change the course of your game's story, and not necessarily for the better, you may want to *avoid* doing this event.
• Charlotte's romance has been added! You need to start chapter 4 for it to become available. Also, Charlotte needs to be available, obviously. You must also complete most/many Charlotte requests. These are: "Wicked Pam," "Deep Sleep," "Ass Pull," and "Sweet Relief." Fortunately all but "Ass Pull" are started by simply talking to her, while "Ass Pull" is started in the bandit camp at certain times. With all these complete, you must also engage in helping her fall asleep several times (enough to unlock everything), and have a good relationship with her. Unless you are mean to her, you should have a good enough relationship just by completing all this, but you can do the sleeping activity or give her sleeping potions to improve your relationship with her if necessary. You will get the request "The Wolf Queen" to start the relationship if you've done all this. Note that you can only choose to enter a relationship with her if you are not already in one with Rais or Priscilla.
• To unlock the fertility clinic sub-area, you must first complete the maid academy training, which you can do as part of the story in chapter 1. After you are able to accept maid work, and have done so a few times, you will here about a job being offered there and be able to travel there from uptown!
• Dates should automatically unlock once you move in with Priscilla. There is a "cooldown" between dates; the next date won't be available for several in-game time periods. The cooldown itself is random in length, but should last for around 3-6 time periods, or about 1-2 in-game days. I'm not sure if every character's dates will follow this pattern; the way I wrote some of Priscilla's dates implies you live with her, so I made that a condition instead of rewriting them. I may make this a condition for all romances' dates, or I may not, we'll see.
• To earn the classy qipao in the free edition, just visit the bandit camp at some point after the start of chapter 3 with high bandit rep and decent Charlotte rep. She'll give it to you as a gift. This event plays even in the patron edition, though you don't need to unlock the classy qipao before wearing it in that edition of the game.
• To unlock anal sex threesomes with Carol and Gray, you need to train Carol's ass a few times during one-on-one encounters with her. To unlock this training, you need to train her with her pussy a few times. So basically, [train Carol's pussy 2-3x -> train Carol's ass 2-3x -> unlock anal threesome with Carol and Gray]. For footjobs you need to train her with her feet, and you unlock that option by training her with her mouth, so it's [train Carol's mouth 2-3x -> train Carol's feet 2-3x -> unlock foojob threesome with Carol and Gray].
• New smaller events and where to find them: with the appropriate perks, you can make your homunculus worship your feet or ass. While exploring in the backstreets or uptown, you can randomly find a piss bucket. This leads to a similar set of actions as to what you can do in the dungeon with that bucker, but these are brand new scenes (for the most part, one part has been copied over from in the dungeon). There is a new event in the urinal alleyway's playlist.
• Here are some tips for the new cock teasing minigame! The "nut" meter applies a multiplier to the "pleasure" meter the higher it gets, and using the same actions too often also penalizes you by increasing the gains of said action to the "pleasure" meter, and its even worse if you use the same action multiple times in a row. To maximize your pleasure-to-nut ratio (I am so glad that phrase exists) use actions that cause a lot of please (like sucking his dick or licking his balls) early, then use lower-pleasure actions, like dirty talk and showing off repeatedly to fill up "nut" the rest of the way. When it comes to using your feet, where this action fits is random based on the partner, it always builds a decent amount of "nut" but if the patient is really into feet it'll also build a lot of pleasure! Figuring out how the patient feels about feet will dictate where in the order you want to use it—either very early or more toward the middle—so it's best to figure out early, before you start edging them. Kissing is another odd one in that it typically causes low pleasure but it's more random than the other actions, so you don't want to use it too late in case it inflicts more pleasure than you expect. I'm really happy with this activity and I can't wait to see what you all think about it!
