Changelog for version 0.5.9: "Slave Auction & Beast Training":

Slave Auction:

- The slave auction now includes a new selection process

- Players are bound to a long, pillory-like device alongside other prisoners

- Four NPC slaves are present during the selection scenes

- Players can perform various actions involving their surroundings and the other NPCs. These actions impact trust, lust, and anxiety levels

- After some time, a new NPC named Korvas enters the room

- Players who pass a control check may be selected directly by Korvas to work as beast trainers

- The control check can be bypassed if the player's lust level is 30 or higher by acting eagerly

- Reducing anxiety or increasing lust prior to Korvas's appearance makes the control check easier

- If selected, players can obey Korvas's instructions and become a beast trainer. They can also refuse and be sent to the Food Processing Center, or attack, which is more likely to succeed if Atka or other NPCs are present

- If a player does not pass the check to serve as a beast trainer, a slave NPC named Atka is chosen instead. She assists Korvas

- Korvas now explains the selection rules to the player or Atka

- Players can try to seduce Atka. If they succeed, she's more likely to help them. If not, she'll send players to the brothel, and she'll become a customer

- Players can exchange knowing looks with Atka or other captured NPCs to instigate an attack

- Atka might betray the players if they haven't first seduced her

- There are new player-centered BDSM scenes during the pre-selection involving Korvas, Atka, the player, and other NPCs

- Players who are fully compliant and weren't selected as beast handlers are sent to the auction

- Once free from the device, players can initiate an attack. They have a better chance if they have convinced Atka and/or other NPCs

- If the attack is successful, players can try to help their accomplices (risky) or leave them

- Failure leads to being taken to the Food Processing Center

- If Atka escapes, she joins the Thulle Deviants

- Escaped captives become fugitives who still need to escape through the red gate

- Players can observe the gate to make the escape easier

- Elekra (Thulle Deviants) now accepts Administration Fugitives without requiring any prior quests

- There are 12 new slave NPCs: Ketta, Zina, Kurni, Skara, Rilka, Gritta, Naska, Hob, Skarn, Tharn, Brukk, and Murn

- Slave starts have been grouped under a subcategory

- There are new locations at the keep: pens, stairs, an auction yard, handler cells, Korvas' halls

- There is a new slave inspector (Halvek) and groomer (Trulla) who work under Korvas

- Ezekiel now works under Korvas

Beast Training:

- New dominant starts subcategory

- New Beast Handlers start

- Beast handlers start with 20 trust from Korvas, as well as a reputation bonus for being part of the administration

- Beast handlers are given a place to stay and a weekly income of 20 e-coins

- Players are also directed to this gameplay if Korvas chooses them after the initial scenes

- Players who start as slaves must prove their worth by training their first slave before they start getting paid and are admitted into the faction

- Players have one week to fully train a captive in a fetish

- Training is done by increasing the NPC's fetishes

- To complete the job, players must inform Korvas, who will then examine the captive

- If a player manages to raise one of the captive's fetishes to 100%, the captive is sent to the auction, and Korvas is satisfied (+5 trust)

- Otherwise, the captive is sent to the food processing center, and Korvas becomes displeased (-5 trust)

- If trust reaches zero, players are dismissed by Korvas and sent to the food processing center themselves.

- A new "beast handler" home in the beast house is available for free after accepting the job

Adjustments:

- Several "stay quiet" options have been added during chat scenes

- Breasts can now grow to a "gargantuan" size through cocktails

- New items include a black hood

- Made small changes to dark items and hair colors so they don't blend in with the background

- The menu background color has been slightly changed

- Whipping, spanking, and electrical play actions now keep players in the same menu, making continued sessions easier

Bug fixes:

- Fixed issue of characters being referred to as "boys" or "girls" in the character description, regardless of their age

- Fixed bugs caused by encounters triggered in the very first action

- Fixed Rebecca's testing options

- Fixed several broken button references that caused some options to never show up (Barbershop, Gym)

- Players are no longer locked in some scenes if they couldn't speak (panic, gag, etc.).

- Sikke is no longer shown as the player's boss in the hardware store when joining under Adil

- Rico will now offer players the chance to join the gang

- Fixed corporation's database ID issues

- Fixed NPC identification in the pony exhibition

- Fixed a location bug in the Isara Labs corridor

- Scene jump fixed when doing the Equiknot scenes from Morgan's Manor

- Massage parlor sex no longer counts as strap-on sex when no strap-ons are involved

- Fixed typos in the Morgan's Manor, Kaelin, and Horama scenes.

- Fixed mismatches between paper polls and breast size descriptions.

- Flat breasts are no longer described as undefined.

- Fixed the Administration's violation stat

- Fixed pronouns when sending the receptionists to the monsters at Isara Genomics
