This update adds an option I've been talking about wanting for awhile now - the ability to put Chosen and Forsaken into custom sex scenes with each other! This involved significant refinement of the code that custom sex scene partners use to pick their actions, some of which will probably be noticeable in sex scenes involving the Demon Lord as well. The system works pretty well for when the participants have high Deviancy and a good relationship with each other. It gets rougher when they're lacking either lust or affection - they might get frustrated with each other and start slinging insults, or they might just keep awkwardly praising each other without actually doing anything sexual. It will get a lot better once I add the ability for custom sex scene partners to actively perform bondage and domination for proper hatesex, and once I add more cute-but-not-quite-sexual interactions for friends, both of which should be coming soon. Hopefully the existing content is enough to hold your interest until then.
Linked with the above, I've also added the new Ambassador position for Forsaken. This allows you to send the subject in your place to Approach the Chosen for a custom sex scene. You can use your Ambassador to initiate the Negotiation Distortion just like you can by sending your own Demon Lord body. This is currently just a flavor text difference, and much of the text surrounding the Negotiation Distortion can come across as a bit strange if you haven't actually approached the subject in person yet, but it will all tie in nicely to my plans for further improvements to the relationship system.
On the gameplay front, the main addition for this update is the new Retry/Reset buttons added to combat and Forsaken training. I've always intended for Corrupted Saviors to be a game with minimal randomness where the player is given perfect information about enemy behavior and the challenge is to identify the best possible result for the player's long-term plans. In practice, because it isn't practical to diagram the Chosen response to every possible player action in advance, this means that experimenting with different sequences of action is necessary to see what happens, and that has required a bunch of tedious time spent in the save and load menus. The ability to just go straight back to the start of the encounter should make the game's qualify of life feel much better.
A new vignette commissioned by Kalloi has also been added to the game, and this is the first vignette which acts as a continuation of a previous vignette. Players aiming to put the Core Morality Chosen onto the Negotiation Distortion path will often run across it naturally, but the main condition to note is that the target Chosen must be Approached before the Negotiation Distortion is formally started. There's a substantial variation on the vignette depending on whether the subject was Approached by the Demon Lord or by an Ambassador Forsaken, so be sure to try out both options! Another minor addition is the tracking of individual Chosen sex acts - while this doesn't yet have any extra content tied to it, the player can now view the Chosen's exact sex act counts at any time, which might prove interesting for anyone curious about just how much masturbation they get up to at each increasing level of Innocence Break.
With the new additions to Chosen sex stat tracking and custom sex scene mechanics, some features that were previously far out of reach have suddenly become low-hanging fruit. Namely, it's now possible for future releases to introduce alternative flavors for Breaks which involve different sex acts but share the same gameplay mechanics. This will allow both for virgin Chosen with Morality Break and for non-virgin Chosen who have yet to experience Morality Break. And this, in turn, will pave the way for MILF Chosen, including Chosen who are the mothers of other Chosen. After that, of course, the door will be open for Forsaken breeding programs, inheritable body traits, and so on. I think it'll be worth the time to start on this content before making the leap into implementing boss fights.
