Star Knightess Aura 0.39.0-prerelease-2

ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE

And the next iteration of the Maid Academy is done! The main content of this week's prerelease are two new maid trainings. I only finished the Maid Training 4 today and didn't give manage to give it another read so I expect maximum typo galore there buuut the good news is that with that we have finished the Aura-related lewd content of the Maid Academy.

Both new trainings focus more on lewd activities rather than the previous pretty much purely obedience focused scenes. In the third training, Aura needs to show her sincerity by "properly begging." I have been wanting to do an orgasm denial scene since quite some time now and had a good opportunity here -- to satisfy Headmaid Caroline, Aura needs to spend quite some edging on the border  before climaxing until her begging sounds real enough. :)

Finally, in the third training, we have probably the last blowjob content in Roya, this time involving... a couple more people. Aura must be able to master the art of recognizing a dick with her mouth alone!

As a note, there is a 50 Maid Score blocker to reach the North Wing. It's possible that with only the first three trainings and a bad evaluation, you must perform the Vice action in the West Wing to gain access. Once Paulina's first scene is in the game, having Vice unlocked won't be necessary anymore.

Furthermore, completing all trainings will unlock the completed version of Womb of Lust --- good luck with that one on Hard Mode+. :'D

Did you ever wonder WTF some of the options actually do?! Well, now you have a small description window to find out! (Apparantly the centering of the option values got messed up though. :'D) Again a feature that just got finished, so didn't double check yet if the actual descriptions are correct/good.

And then we also have some more technical improvements on the stability for the android external saves feature. I noticed that completely missunderstood how the threading interaction worked and that the current implementation was 100% blocking during file operations. I hope this will fix some issues some users had but might also blow up. :cry:

Aaand that's it for the week. Next week will either be dungeon work for the first final dungeon area or the beginning for the Paulina lewd scenes, depending on the progress speed of our mapper.
