Eros Academy 2.02(Beta)

Yay! It's out on time!

This is the first of the 'Patron Reward' model updates that I've switched to for continued Eros Academy development. Per the voting of the amazingly awesome $5+ Patrons, this first update is double the new monthly 'standard' size. A little more, actually, since if came in at 22 renders in total. 

I put those extra renders to good use, adding the Stables to the game for the first time, instead of just adding a single scene. The release notes below will have more details on what the update contains. First, however, I'm going to point out a thing. 

Namely...ha! Bet you thought I forgot about the inhibition and fitness stats, didn't you? As a matter of fact, I never forgot about them, it's simply that I've been adding date-content only for the last several updates. Since each of the dates has it's own mechanic, I decided it was a very bad idea to complicate things farther by adding checks revolving around things like Fitness or current Arousal level. As such, those stats may have seemed like I'd abandoned them for a while, despite the fact that they have always been intended to be a core game mechanic. This update sees both the Inhibition and the Fitness stats in use again (though only once for the inhibition stat). 

In light of that, I've also gone back and made a lot of the date actions work for reducing Faith's inhibition, so that things hopefully flow somewhat naturally. Unfortunately, I'm almost certain that I unbalanced the difficulty pretty badly in the process, but that's something I'll have to fix after careful examination, and honestly isn't a high priority since it's unbalancing in the favor of making it too easy rather than too hard. It's also possible it generated a few bugs (hopefully not), which is why I've retained the (Beta) tag for this update.

As a final, unrelated note, you'll notice that I'm now only increasing the build number by .01 instead of .1 for each update. This is in order to reflect the smaller size of each individual update. It's not really important, just wanted to make it clear why I changed the way I was doing it before.

Release Notes(2.02): 

This version introduces the Stables location to the game, and the Pony Play kink/fetish as something to explore there. Currently, content is limited due to the smaller size of the updates, but it includes:

- A New Location, the Stables. Which you can find in the "Go Somewhere" option of the Main Hallway Menu. 

- A New Character, The Stable Mistress

- Basic information about the fetish/kink

- The ability for you to have Faith receive basic training as a Pony Girl

- The ability to Run in a Pony Girl race, with placement depending on Faith's level of Fitness.

- 4 possible results for the race. Faith not placing, and her taking each of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places each have their own results! 

Enjoy the update! And any of you who are $1 Patrons, you might want to say thank you to the $5+ Patrons :-). They voted for the larger update, even knowing that it would be for everyone, rather than just for them as the other options would have been!
