In the nick of time before the end of the month, I bring you two new updates!

First, we have a new public update to version 0.17.7.
As the number already suggests, it's not a huge upgrade over 0.17.2, but nevertheless adds some nice new stuff.

On the content side, it adds 3 footjob scenes (all wildly different from each other, too), one for Leyla (evening in her room), one for Emily (evening in her room), and one for Kate (dungeon), a tiny upgrade to Leyla's exhibitionism scene (from the 3rd time onwards), and the option to ask Leyla for an actual normal massage, after you've witnessed the torturous version once (no new images, but different dialogue).
I should mention that apart from the tiny Leyla exhib upgrade, all of this can already be accessed during Chapter 1.

On the QoL side, there are now icons on the QuickNav shortcuts to indicate where each maid currently is, so they're easier to find if you can't remember their schedule.
Additionally, Emily's dungeon path is now a bit easier to unlock, particularly during the first week of chapter 2, since you can now talk to her about it in the evening as well, in addition to some other related hint- and dialogue improvements.

Finally, there's a bunch of bugfixes, including for some older bugs that were only uncovered after the release of public release 0.17.2.

Much bigger in terms of new content, however, is the major update 0.18, which is now in early access on Patreon.

To keep it as brief as possible,

• (Much) More Iris!!!: Iris is finally getting more progress, and unlike previously planned, she gets not just about half, but her entire (!) chapter 2 path at once!
  Spanning over no less than 6 story events (some of them very short, but still) and unlocking her first repeatable naughty scene, her new events and sandbox options together outweigh many, many previous entire updates in terms of amount of new content.
  
  
• New exhibitionism option: Emily receives her second exhibitionism-increasing option, and in a way it's even more juicy (and more funny) than the first!
• A new (large) dream (or memory), this time for Leyla: A special case, where the decision whether you want it to be just a dream (fantasy) or a past event from Leyla's life she's told you about is entirely up to your preference. Going by image- and animation count, this is also one of the largest scenes in the game, featuring over 50 images and 9 animations!
• The Xmas and H'ween specials from last year can now be played from inside the main game, via the revamped 'Memories' section (all 4 original maids need to have been unlocked). And maybe there's a little easter egg hidden somewhere...?

Due to how large the number of scenes and images of Iris' new story content is, in terms of new content 0.18 is probably the biggest update since... well, I'd say since the big Christmas special last year, so basically the biggest content update this year so far. If you've thought about supporting me before, maybe this would be a good opportunity... :)

Either way, I hope you'll enjoy the new content and improvements!
