So it's been a pretty cool month. We've got a new full-time writer on the team (Ren), which is awesome. We've also got a new honorary team member (Lilia) helping out too, though we can't afford to pay her at the moment. She's been helping out with fixing bugs, and has some plans to improve some of our older Airell stuff like the surrogacy center.
I've been working a lot with Ren this month, getting her up to speed on our craziness. So far she's been great, and she's already got a bunch of new stuff we didn't have time to implement this month. She helped a lot with expanding our daily job content, which adds more variety to all the random things that can happen during your day at work. It covers all the jobs too, usually more than doubling the number of daily events.
The other big thing this month is updating how we handle game resources. The old resources file setup worked, but it was just getting too big to make you re-download everything with each new game release. So now we've split the resources into two parts. A semi-permanent download once file, and then a much smaller resources file that will be updated with each new release. On top of that, we've improved our image compression scheme, so we've cut the overall size of the resources by 25% as well. Hopefully this'll be a little easier on everyone's bandwidth. (instructions here)
Of course, there's also hucow stuff and more. It's been a bit of a crazy month, but you can't make a better bone pile without breaking a few eroliches. Seriously though, I'm really optimistic about how things are going. More people = more AW and more we're able to do. So thanks to everyone who's been supporting us, cause paying people wouldn't be possible otherwise. I hope you enjoy this new release!

Change Log
- Added some more Raven art with more in progress for Blossom and Apple, but haven't had time to write any of that yet...
- Fixed the issue preventing the treatment milk suppression from ending and the first-milk and self-drink scenes from becoming available.
- Made some minor changes to the Treatment text surrounding milk.
- The Treatment now officially gives you the hyperlactation mutation. This has minimal effect on the actual game, as you're a hucow, but it felt appropriate to have that unlocked and shown in the character status.
- Fixed a bug with taking Maturex as a hucow.
- It now properly starts the HUCOW version of the transformative, which is quite different, instead of the normal character transformative.
- It no longer counts as taking an unauthorized drug when taken via the Hucow optional treatment route.
- Added a shitton of new daily job events with custom images.
- Each major job (3 Institute, Progenerate) has at least 15 new daily events that can happen.
- Every minor job has at least 10 new daily events that can happen.
- The number of events at each job has been more than doubled.
- Job images match the event and theme of the job.
- Some events help illustrate the job a bit more, such as illustrating what a lapdance actually is in a modern stripclub.
- Updated the image system and resources. Mostly described above, but splits resources into two downloads and reduces overall resource size by 25%. There are new instructions too if you need them.
- Hucow milking scene has been changed significantly.
- Milking at home will no longer have a stranger show up in your house. Instead it'll describe using your home milking station
- Milking while at the Dairy after hours will always result in a farm hand giving you a hand with your milking.
- Milking in the barn area has a chance of having a farmhand come help you out, depending on the time of day. Best odds are in the afternoon after work ends.
- Milking at the coop now describes the milking station setup and milking yourself when a farmhand doesn't come help you.
- New art of player udders with milk cups attached. Moo.
- Birth scene with lover bug fix, credit application bug fix, and some other bug fixes courtesy of Lilia.
- The hucows and bulls were spread all over the COOP
- Now they roam around the place availiable for interactions!
- 5 semi-defined hucows and 5 more bulls.
- Little Evangeline is also strolling there (in case you helped her during her storyline).
- They usually spend time at the barn area during the day and in the dorms at night.
- Tingler was made more forgiving to the PC's appearance
- No more instant rejections over and over again.
- Please report if it is still too hard to get your char laid.
- Competition for the bull's attention event.
- Lazy bulls of the COOP make hucows to compete for their attention.
- Various multi-component scenes testing various PC's skills.
- 14000 chars of content.
- Win some hot sex with the bulls!
- Sun room in the COOP building B
- Get some tan.
- We actually have a whole tan system in the game so your char can get bronzed.
- Evening activities expansion.
- Hucow BBQ party! (Not BBC party, you filthy perv. BBQ!)
- Hucow frolicking - having little fun with each other in a good ol' lesbian way!
- New location for the evening activities was added, now COOP activities happen in the COOP, not "your home".
- Countless bugs and typos got fixed.
- Thanks for you-know-who for reporting all the typos, especially in the prologue section!
