Release 59: Humanization

This is another flavor-focused update, with the main addition being the ability to take the custom bodies you use for sex scenes with Chosen and Forsaken, and use those bodies in battle as a substitute for the usual monstrous Demon Commander forms.  This works by adapting the flavor text that was previously just used for sending Forsaken to fight the Chosen.  On a cheatless playthrough, the option only changes the flavor text, but when the toggle for body traits to affect damage is turned on, the traits of the body you send out will be properly reflected in the bonuses you gain.  Overall, my hope is that this option will ensure that players who dislike some of the fetishes associated with the different Commander upgrades will still be able to take advantage of the gameplay opportunities they provide.

Reworking the Commander Capture code to use an entirely different set of flavor text has been a major overhaul, and the feature is definitely still a bit rough around the edges.  Deployed humanoid bodies are given a "combat style" based on which damage types the body deals, and this normally works out pretty well.  When circumstance damage levels reach the point that Defilers start taking effect, the damage increase text also properly reflects the Defiler (for penetration, orgasming, etc.).  But it didn't make sense to use the same Demon Commander capture dialogue, and most of the Forsaken-Chosen banter also wouldn't make sense for talking to the Demon Lord, so there aren't any spoken Chosen lines associated with humanoid Demon Commanders at the moment.  Total Vulnerability Breaks triggered by humanoid Demon Commanders also don't yet have any unique flavor.  This feature is still very much a work in progress, and the main goal for now is to make sure that it doesn't have any crashes or text bugs.

Alongside the main feature, this release also had an unusually large amount of time spent working on adding custom sex scene actions.  It was originally going to be focused on friendly actions that might give low-Deviancy Chosen more to do with each other, but a couple of rougher activities made their way into it in the end.  As always, there's also the usual small collection of bugfixes and balance tweaks.

Next month will be another gameplay-focused release, with the addition of yet another boss.  But this next boss, Reign, will be unusual for a few reasons, most notably the fact that she'll reappear multiple times throughout campaign mode.
