Cool month, lots to get through. Biggest news is that we've found a full-time writer to help with producing more delicious alphabet soup. She'll also help out here and there with reaching out to people beyond the sacred halls of the Discord server, but mostly she'll be writing. I've read some of her spicy words and it was pretty good, so I'm excited to see what she can do with AW!
Aside from that, somehow I ended up on a bit of an art kick this month. Wasn't even really intentional, I just thought I wanted a nice "first milk" image to go with that happening. Once I got started though, I kept going... just one of those moods I guess. I'll share some high res versions in this release for the elite build tier.
I also did some work on the aw-wiki.com things, spiffing things up a bit and making them nicer. A little nicer looking, search functionality to search through the change logs, and a more organized/usable guide page. This was largely inspired by a certain person on Discord who asks a lot of questions, but it's also something useful for everyone.
Not inspired by said person, but mentioned more than once by a few other people, is adding a hucow section to the in-game encyclopedia. A lot of people miss things skimming through the orientation and first day text, particularly when they've already read it several months ago. But there's a lot of story hints in there, along with some more cut-and-dry info like the criteria for different hucow development stages. I also thought it'd be good to have an actual set of lore that is in one place, explaining all the important stuff about hucowery and things like Furious Cow Disease. Nearly 25,000 new words were added to the encyclopedia this month, including a couple extra entries about general AW lore that I thought would be good.
We're going to keep chugging away at hucows, hopefully be pretty much done by the end of the year. Depending on how things work out with our new team member, I might be able to take some time to keep working on the avatar, and we might be able to start doing an expansion of the small daily job events too. We'll see how it goes. I'm amazed to see that we're closing in on 4 million words now, which is just amazing once I stop to think about it. I'm thinking of doing something special for the 4 million word mark, but I'm not sure what... stop by Discord if you have an idea!
Thanks everyone for your support, for reading all this nonsense, and for playing AW!

- Fix for issues in the events that trigger the start of the main story inside the sandbox.

- Having the elastic pussy mutation now adds a minor bonus to the pregnancy burst threshold.
- New daily event added for the SPERM job: A fellow lab tech talks about some research involving a tentacle creature and eggs for medical imaging.
- Certain pregnancy events have had their probabilities adjusted to be more frequent, particularly arousal spikes and food cravings.
- Hucow Milk Fixes
- Discovered problem in how milk was being handled overnight for all characters, but this particularly impacted hucows and to a lesser extent those collecting milk overnight.
- Overnight lactation is now realistically simulated for collection in these cases.
- For hucows, losing ~8 hours of milk production per day caused significant drops in milk yield, making it a good deal more difficult to reach the weekly milk quota.
- Compared the independent milk simulation process results used to generate the quota to the actual production of a hucow character. They lined up surprisingly well, and creates a quota that is definitely achievable.
- Adjusted how hucow milk capacity is calculated, to take into account the development of hucow udders. Past certain size thresholds, a larger percentage of additional breast mass can be used to store milk.
- Added 2 new dialog colors, allowing a scene to have 5 unique npcs.
- Did some other stuff too but I can't remember what all it was.
- Evening activities
- New events for the evening activities, this time of a spicy kind.
- Three separate events with both anal and vaginal masturbation and even a selfbondage scene.
- First two require character to own a dildo of any kind.
- Your character needs to be either a sub, a maso or into bondage for the third event to happen.
- If you feel like there should be some particular evening activity, ping me in our discord with your idea!
- Quality of life improvements
- Now you have a convenient button to get to your car and drive somewhere while you are in the COOP.
- Works only until the curfew (23:00) since the gates gets closed at this time.

- A young and a bit insecure bull got into some interesting predicament. Care to help him?
- It's not just hucows who are under some corporate pressure in the COOP.
- 5 000 well moisturized chars.
- A new event at the secret hole at the COOP fence.
- Somebody's stuck with her butt in the air.
- You're not the only one who tries to get out of the dorms at night.
- Many interaction options, for both futa and female characters.
- Juicy 12 000 chars and a chance to improve your relationship with the herd.
- A silly bug was tackled!
- It prevented NPCs from contacting the character on their own volition which cut off a lot of nice content.
- Now it should work fine and will result in much more lively and active NPCs.
- Getting milked by the farmhand expansion.
- The placeholder was replaced with a proper milking scene.
- Various stats and places are taken into account so it should represent the process accurately.
