This is the update which finally introduces the ability for characters to get pregnant with humans, not just with Demons. As part of this addition, the system for handling family relationships while the family relations toggle is active has been significantly expanded. Instead of generating family members as they're needed, the system will now determine the immediate family of every Chosen as soon as that Chosen enters the game, and this information can be viewed from their profiles. If you defeat one of the Chosen and use her as bait, the game will draw from this list of family members to decide who to send at you.
When deciding when to add the new parent and offspring relationships, the game makes use of a new content toggle which sets what percentage of the Chosen are mothers. At 0% (the default setting), all family relationships will be sibling relationships, which was the way it worked in previous updates. At higher settings, it becomes more likely to run into Chosen who have given birth. Chosen mothers are, of course, non-virgins, and a significant amount of alternative flavor text has been written to replace the default virginity-related text related to Tier-2 Morality Break. The opposite situation (Chosen who retain their virginity even after Tier-2 Morality Break) will require even more alternative flavor text to be written, but it is in the works.
For players who prefer for Chosen to start out as virgins (and who therefore set the motherhood rate to 0%), this update still offers ways to expand Chosen families during play. A second new toggle allows the player to specify how likely the Forsaken are to be impregnated during custom sex scenes. Female Forsaken (and male Forsaken who were given an anal womb during their time as Chosen) who aren't already pregnant can become pregnant every time they have sex. To make this easier, the action weights for custom sex scenes have been temporarily adjusted so that participants who are interested in sex will skip the foreplay and go straight for penetration. The Demon Lord can participate in this as well - Demon Lord bodies with penises can impregnate the Forsaken, and Demon Lords with wombs of their own can become pregnant and give birth as well.
One of the traits of the Corrupted Saviors universe is that time flows faster in some places than in others. The offspring of Forsaken parents will automatically be sent out for adoption in cities where the flow of time runs very quickly. After a few loops, they'll awaken to their own Chosen powers and will return in hopes of rescuing and/or defeating their parents. Currently, this will only happen in campaign mode - figuring out how this should all work across multiple single play games will be a bit trickier.
As with all simulation features, there's a lot more that could be done here, but I don't want to get too occupied with flavor content that won't appeal to everybody while there are still major gameplay features to add. This update does have a few minor balance tweaks: Undead Chosen were probably a bit too easy to cheese by farming them for EE on early days, so they now no longer give bonus Evil Energy for non-core Breaks. On the other hand, Chosen with high T4 Break progress will now "burn out" and become weaker - their T3 move effects will now be one level lower when their punisher effectiveness gets high enough to open them to T4 breaks, and will drop by another level after the T4 Break has actually happened. The Showy Publicist Forsaken Punisher effect (which adds ANGST to the entire team of Chosen when achieving Total Dignity Break) has also been buffed to deal exponentially more ANGST depending on the Forsaken's Dignity.
Finally, a new location has been added for custom sex scenes: an S&M-themed love hotel. Currently, this is a very minor addition, just involving some flavor text when starting the scene and slightly changing the modifiers for "damage" experienced during the scene. But it's related to the Negotiation vignette chain commissioned by Kalloi, so it'll be picking up some extra functionality in future releases.
