Ruin Me 0.43.0: Atmosphere of Depravity

Hello, perverts! The new release of Ruin Me is out right at the end of the month. My pace of development has felt good the past week or so, and I think it's sustainable. I'm excited to work on adding more stuff!

This release has as its biggest feature something a bit subtle that I hope will add a lot to the game's sense of place. Additionally, it adds a play scene that's been waiting for a while: Theresa receiving anal sex. Theresa topping should come soon. I also did a meme! As part of my drawing practice, I included the currently-trendy Gris swimsuit designed by artist Vertigris.

I'm also trying out a new feature: a cheat mode that can only be accessed by a password I'll be posting for my Center of Attention patrons. It's a convenience feature to reward folks who are being especially supportive; I have no intentions to make it harder to scroll back or savescum, nor do I plan to adjust the pledge level that unlocks the Reminisce feature.

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

Note: I've released a hotfix, version 0.43.1, fixing an issue with using the cheat menu to set Theresa's stats. You should only need it if you intend to use this feature. If you've already experienced problems after setting her stats, you should be able to update and re-cheat her stats to fix the issue.

Version 0.43.0p adds:

• The "Penetrate Theresa's ass" play scene with various choices, available in Theresa's quarters once you have completed the appropriate training.
• Ambience events with procedural text which randomly play in town, with more added with progress through the story. By default, one is played the first time you enter town in a time period (Morning, Evening, etc.). In the preferences, you can turn them off entirely or make them play every time you enter town.
• A cheat option for Center of Attention patrons that lets you give yourself Ken, edit Theresa's stats, and skip acts.
• A dialogue option to the end of Act I that clarifies Theresa's goals.
• Vaginal and anal sex as an option for Theresa's random invitations when you enter her chambers, once you've trained her in them (and increased the chances of invitations).
• A new outfit for Theresa: the trendy Gris swimsuit, originally designed by the artist Vertigris. It's purchasable from the Tailor, found by exploring out of town.
• The ability to have Theresa pick a different outfit each day from those available.
• A fix for the alignment of labial blush in Theresa's standing pose.
• Revisions to the introductory sequence to better match the current style.
• Minor fixes and enhancements.

As patrons, you have access to the Reminisce option in your bedroom, which lets you replay old sex scenes easily.
