Ruin Me 0.44.0: Valentine's Breakfast Perversion

Hi, perverts! There's another Ruin Me release ready for you. As I sometimes do, I overscoped this one a bit, but I was able to get it out for Valentine's Day! I hope you enjoy it.

This release adds a new play scene and night music, but its largest feature is breakfast: a new routine customization that should help make the game's daily cycle feel a bit more intentional. If you prefer the morning efficiency of previous versions, you can ask Meg to deliver breakfast to your room.

I'm also doing a little experiment: I'm adding a seasonal outfit. The Heart-Motif Cheongsam will be available for free in-game for the two weeks surrounding Valentine's Day (14 Feb). Outside of that window, it will be available for Ken like the other outfits. Is this fun? Let me know in the comments.

The cheat mode password remains the same for Center of Attention patrons.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments on the new release, or issues you've discovered!

Version 0.44.0p adds:

• Seven breakfast routines to choose from, each including variations. Some require Theresa to have certain stats. After breakfast, Theresa will make conversation that may include guidance for how to proceed in the game. They're available by talking to Meg in the servants' office. You can skip breakfast entirely with the "I'll take it in my room" option.
• The "Have Theresa penetrate you with a strap-on" play scene with choice of moods, available in Theresa's quarters once you have reached Permissivity 3.
• The "Cappriccio di Calamari" night music, allowing a dream of messy tentacles. With Permissivity 3, Theresa can join in.
• A new outfit for Theresa: the Heart-Motif Cheongsam outfit. It's available from the Tailor, found by exploring out of town. Within two weeks of Valentine's Day (Feb 14), it's available for free; for the rest of the year, it costs Ken like other outfits.
• Adjustments to the cost of the Tailor's outfits, making more revealing and out-of-place outfits cost more Ken.
• A fix for coitus play being available at Experience 3 instead of Permissivity 3.
• New options for Theresa's standing pose artwork, letting her hold and sip from a teacup filled with various substances.
• An update to a branch of the Advanced Depravity training in urolagnia to make it use the new teacup art.
• New options for Theresa's "on top" pose artwork, supporting her use of a strap-on. Other art for the pose has been improved.
• Improvements to Theresa's caver outfit, investigator's outfit, and standard dress to allow for more arm mobility.
• An improvement to diminutive terms used for nonbinary protagonists (e.g. "good pet").
• An improvement to the epithet Cathy uses for nonbinary protagonists.
• Adjustments and improvements to the ambience and random text generation systems.
• An improvement to Dr. Harvey's art to be scaled to better match other characters.
• Minor enhancements and fixes.

It also includes the following changes from 0.43.2, today's free update:

• Fixed an issue that was resulting in documentation not getting included in distributions.
• Upgraded Ren'Py from 7.3.5.606 to 7.4.11.2266. This should hopefully cause no change in previous functionality but should improve compatibility. Note that Android's internal version number is now based on a timestamp rather than the game's semantic version.

As patrons, you have access to the Reminisce option in your bedroom, which lets you replay old sex scenes easily. Folks who support at the Center of Attention level get access to an additional cheat menu.
