Star Knightess Aura 0.43.0-prerelease-2

In this week's episode of Star Knightess Aura. Aura becomes Gyaru Hitler. :)

As mentioned in the project plan, this is another one of the many corruption focused weeks of the Chapter 3-B development phase. I focused on developing the scenes that get triggered through the corruption of the Selfishness Orb which I added last month but didn't follow up with any triggered scenes because I wanted to focus on the Purpose mental change to further the lewd story line.
The Social Ranking storyline triggered through this corruption, drives up Aura's disdain for the ugly and weak by 1000% and has her use all fan power she has been generating over the events in Chapter 3 to establish a trend where everyone with fewer followers needs to obey the ones with more. Why would they do that? Bullying and harrassment of course :)

On another story front, I have also continued on the Laura Rebirth event sequence to the point where it ties into the Social Ranking one. One where Laura gets a taste of power after being the victim for so long --- And is now tasked by Aura to carry out punishments. :)))))
(That is after some more gaslighting from this week)
Sadly I didn't make it much further than this on that storyline since I needed to move further events after another major event for the Lewd Streaming storyline which also got some minor development this week and will be further pursued in dev week 4.
Then, the last Value Orb (Kindness) can now also be corrupted and has 1 scene that gets triggered by it. Doing the Kindess Orb corruption today was mostly a consequence of moving the follow-up Laura Rebirth scenes into the week 4.
And finally, as a minor detail, the Toll Bandit Leader got a minor power up. His first Bomb throw is now always an Aphrodisiac Bomb and if you get defeated, you will be given a second lewd check to accept giving a Blowjob. Just a minor roleplaying improvement.
For the full chaneglog including the public patch release, as usual, I defer to the changelog below. Next week: Beginning of the Charlotte corruption!

There aren't any plans to update it. Small hands are a problem the artist kind of has :'D

2024-05-12 19:52:04 +0000 UTCDamn I'm really conflicted about this update, Laura's makeover is my absolute number one (Aura herself right behind) and I was hyped to see her further development. How she herself starts to bully others and Aura moulds her into some kind of totally loyal right hand, but then she gets this airhead spin, fuck I hate airhead characters they are just stupid, a big turn off for me π . Well apart from that, the rest of the game is absolutely great and maybe there will be a different development for Laura hope dies lastπ€ͺ
