This is a major update with many new engines and variables.  Don't forget to press "Update to 0.7.9" in your Home Interaction Menu if you're loading an older save.

 This version is fully compatible with Alpha 0.7.9f builds.

HUNTING

This update introduces an advanced hunting engine. Build a crew of followers or head solo into the deep forests of Imogen's Barrow in search of good game. Choose your hunting weapon wisely – a crossbow makes it harder to catch animals, but you'll get a better Skin yield. Also take notice of weather, time of day and other factors when choosing your hunting technique.

Make sure you're not depleting your favorite hunting district, however. Hunting game will be easier with a high replenish factor!

You can read a more intricate guide hon hunting on our wiki.

NEW OUTSKIRTS DISTRICTS (Imogen's Barrow and Preacher's Pond)

You're now able to go outside Ikaanos and visit the murky forests of Westside Swamps. Explore abandoned cottages, refresh yourself by looking at marvelous sights, invest in trade strongholds or help a desperate farming family by clearing a large tribe of degenerates. But watch out for the self-declared Swamp king!

• Imogen's Barrow features one Hunting Spot where you can hunt large game.
• New combat backgrounds added for forest encounters.
• New soundtrack added for forest districts.

NEW DISTRICT (Crystal Hills)

By collecting 1500 Influence points, you'll gain access to the marvelous district of Crystal Hills. This is an expensive place with fancy restaurants, exclusive vendors and delightful spas that'll satiate even the most spoiled adventurer.

• A fully interactive arena (more info below below).
• A restaurant with interesting choices/mini games (more info below).
• A spa (Virax Springs) that'll replenish Health and Stamina Points. You can also hire fully rendered prostitutes and a powerful mercenary.
• Imperial Arms. A combat vendor that offers a Coilgun, a Plasma Rifle, a Power Katana and two new sets of armors.
• New mercenary (Enya). A relatively cheap soldier dressed in Combat Weave and carrying a power katana.
• New mercenary (Ayden). A powerful soldier with a shady past. Found in Virax Springs.

THE ARENA (Slaves)

Apply your slave to Crystal Hills Arena Gladiatrix School (SHAGS). Assigning her here will immediately free up her household slot and offer her an unprecedented opportunity to become a seasoned warrior. This increases the total slave cap to 5.

Arrange fights. To further fuel her fame and skill gains, you can arrange a fight against one of the other Gladiatrixes at The Arena. The bout can bring in experience, money and Influence, but also permanent injuries and serious fatigue.

The Arena has a strict policy against sex. This is not a harem! But that doesn’t stop you from exploring your Gladiatrix in her private chamber. The Arena features unique sex renders and scenes, and you can choose to act either dominant or have a casual-loving approach.

You're also able to encourage your slave and talk about how much you miss her back home. This has the chance to increase Happiness and Affection – two very important traits for dealing with the psychological hardships of the arena.

THE ARENA (MC)

Apply yourself to Crystal Hills Arena and get an Arena score that'll determine your status as a warrior in Ikaanos.

Wage combat against over twenty different groups (more will follow in later updates) that range in severity from deadly plasma-wielding super squads to lonely runaway slaves. Bring your mercenaries and household slaves into combat and claim the monetary rewards from defeating enemies.

THE GOLDEN DRAGON

A fancy restaurant that offers the population of Ikaanos something far away from the floor-crawling slaves and constant fighting at Furry's Tavern and Divine Juices.

• Features an advanced date engine with many choices. Order food, enjoy tonight's entertainment and decide if you want to indulge in some of Ikaanos' fine wines or keep it a sober occasion. Feed you and your company desserts to increase Happiness – but watch out for unwanted weight gains.
• Take either one or two servants out for dinner. The setup, success chance of amorous attempts and executed dialogues differ significantly depending on how many guests that are at your table.
• Socialize, joke and ask personal questions. Every slave has her own stories to tell and there are over 2000 lines of dialogue to keep repeated visits to The Golden Dragon unique and interesting. Expensive wine, desserts and other previous choices will affect your success chances in various ways.
• Apply your slaves as performers. Doing so might make them show up as tonight's entertainment if you take another slave out on a date to this location. Working at The Golden Dragon requires high Charisma, Beauty and Dancing skills, however. 

NEW ART

• The automatic rifle, Remington rifle and pistol pics have been replaced with new renders that are less cartoonish.
• Over 15 new combat sprites added.
• Added 18 new bondage scenes for Lovisa.
• Added 16 new sex scenes for Lovisa.
• Added 5 new bondage scenes for Juno (the rack).
• Added 12 new wardrobe pics for Averil (formal, string, + replacements).
• Added 16 new wardrobe pics for Rachel (complete overhaul).
• Added 15 Arena pics (Lovisa, Michelle, Rebecca, Juno, Amelia).
• Added 16 new armor wardrobe pics (Lovisa, Juno, Michelle, Rebecca, Amelia, Nicole)

Crafting system v1 - Resource management

This update introduces resource management - the first part of MoR's crafting system. You can now build looms and smitheries at your house and use them to refine cloth into textiles, melt circuit boards into gold and transform scrap metal into steel.

• Through loot and hunting, you can also come across skins, which can be worked into leather.
• Managing resources will demand some initial investments, time and a certain amount of survival/science skill. But you'll be able to sell these refined materials at various vendors for a nice profit. Walton's Smithery accepts steel, Nika's clothes will buy all your textiles and gold, and the armor store in Westside will happily buy any leather you've procured.
• You can also scrap Merchandise. If you're lucky, the oddities you've found might contain DuraSteel or Gold.
• Access resource management by navigating to Facilities > Crafting.

Mercenaries matter

Mercenaries will now level their Ranged, Melee and Strength skills after surviving a combat encounter. The levelling is pretty linear at the moment, like a classic old-school level system. The first "level up" happens after the third fight. Mercenaries will keep their levels even if you dismiss them.

Other gameplay changes

• Revamped Nicole's newsroom. Nicole will now work diligently even if you place her at the Annex. High Happiness (70+) and Willpower (40+) boost income. Reaching a very low Willpower (4 or less) also decreases income, however, as it makes her a far less stingy reporter. Keeping her Happiness, Affection, Willpower and Academic/Tech skills high might now render up to $220/day.
• Special event added. Asking a non-Corrupted girl (3-12) what she thinks about degrading sex/BDSM now has a 40% chance of giving a temporary curiosity boost as long as your skill roll is successful, her Affection is Friendly or higher, she's not angry, and if she doesn’t have the Vanilla trait. The boost will fade after a couple of hours.
• Added "Failure boost" as a modifier while educating your girls in homeschooling classes. This value increases each time you fail to improve a girl's skill, giving you a growing bonus that's applied to your chance roll. A successful skill increase resets this boost to 0.
• A slave's Anger value is now displayed during interactions.
• Explaining a girl's chores now has a 10% chance of increasing her Discipline if it's 49 or lower.
• Added Automatic rifles to the loot tables.
• Added Plasma rifles, Coilguns and Power katanas to the loot tables.
• You now need 1500 Influence to hire the Black Guard from Warrior Hall.
• You can now access your slave's inventory outside your home, if you've assigned her/them as followers.
• The MC will now receive a small (+10) bonus to all combat rolls if his INTELLIGENCE is 80 or above.
• Changed the initial hire cost for many mercenaries. Most non-hero mercenaries are now a lot cheaper to hire, with only a slightly increased daily cost. This makes it easier to dismiss and re-hire them without losing a ton of cash.
• The black guard mercenary at Warrior Hall has been equipped with a coilgun.
• You can now view your Annex slave's weapons and armor under Inspect.
• You can now view the strength of the three mightiest factions at the Town Hall in Hamilton Square.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug that would remove slaves as followers if you sold/assigned your primary slave and had the secondary slave set as a follower.
• Fixed a bug that would let you spam the "finger in butt" command during anal sex, which allowed for endless arousal gain with no time/Stamina cost.
• Fixed a bug that would remove slave clothes from your inventory if you undressed them during a seduction event.
• Added an additional set of Holiday clothes in the patcher to compensate players that lost their only set due to the bug mentioned above.
• Fixed a bug that wouldn't raise Affection for mercenaries.
• Fixed a bug that would display a [NaN] evict value if you lost your money on the very first day.
• Fixed a bug that made "Take the day off" stick forever with Annex slaves.
