This update is an historic milestone for Masters of Raana. 0834 finishes the game's main quest, "New World Order", allowing the MC to help Aria's ascent to the throne as Chancellor. The quest itself offers many hours of gameplay, featuring over 100 renders and 80,000 lines of text. The aftermath is also a trove of events, missions, titles and political turmoil that the MC can choose to partake in.

Other major features include an overhauled capture framework, a revamped Furry's tavern, a large combat overhaul, new story NPCs and a lot of important tweaks and QoL changes from GrimDark's own playthrough that was thoroughly "exposed" on Discord earlier in July.

The push in development we've seen these past months wouldn't be possible without the support from MoR's awesome community. Since April, I've been able to focus 100% professionally and mentally on this game. Today, there is nothing else in terms of work or chores that distract me from the task of developing the legacy of Raana.  

Alright, have a nice weekend everyone!

New skill books (and traits)

• Sundering Minds (Provides Manipulate bonus + "Dominus").
• The Mare (Provides Bondage bonus + "Master of Mares").

Overhauled enemy capture and slave market frameworks

• You're now able to capture an entire enemy crew. Just bring enough rope and followers. Old caps still apply!
• All slave markets have been given a saturation factor. There are separate saturation variables for males, females and auction location. The saturation factors will naturally dwindle and you have to sell at least a dozen of slaves during a short period of time to see any difference. Some political events might also affect these variables, such as the "captured rebel camp" event.

Random NPCS

• Random slaves and captives now have a 15% chance to get the Scavenger trait if their background is "urchin" or less.

"Cleansed" HTML

As 0.8.3.4 is no longer save game compatible with 0.8.2 versions (games not played since early summer of 2023) the base HTML has shed several megabytes. This also makes new games run smoother as there are fewer variables active in the background.

Revamped Furry's Tavern

• Added four new Furry scenes featuring Mr. Furry himself and "Little Rosie".
