View source for Version 0.2.16

Version 0.2.16 was released on 12th August, 2020. This update lets the player play as a hermaphrodite, and includes several improvements to combat, such as allowing NPCs to deepthroat the player character. It also makes crossdressing more impactful, and adds new scenes at school, the museum, and elsewhere.

== Developer's Note ==
''"A lot of scenes were adjusted to take hermaphrodites into account, but we've likely missed places.  Let me know if you find anywhere you think could be improved. Hermaphrodites have a harder time than other characters due to the townsfolk's prejudices.''

''I'd planned to add a work location to the farmlands this update, but hermaphrodites proved a chunky addition, particularly as I took the opportunity to flesh out crossdressing while I was busy.''

''I enjoyed writing the new Winter BDSM scene, and look forward to the next. Winter is always eager to demonstrate their apparatus. For the sake of education, of course."''

== New Additions ==

* The biggest addition to the game this update introduces is the option to play as a hermaphrodite. This is further explained in [[Gender]].
** A new fame stat has been added for NPCs recognising the player as a hermaphrodite, similar to crossdressing.
** There is the option to have testicles at character creation.
** Also similar to crossdressing, NPCs will react differently on discovering the player's true identity as a hermaphrodite.
* Multiple [[combat]] additions, these include:
** New "Rest" and "Cooperate" actions while tribbing. The "Cooperate" action now becomes "Fuck" when the player's vagina is penetrated during consensual encounters if your character is promiscuous or deviant, depending on the type of encounter.
** Characters with vaginas can now initiate tribadism. Requires sufficient promiscuity or deviancy should the encounter be consensual. 
** Angry NPCs and beasts can now thrust their penises down the player character's throat. 
*** This can lead to suffocation should the PC lack the oral skill to cope.
*** High swimming skill can mitigate the damage of a failed oral skill check. Characters with higher swimming skill now take longer to strangle.
*** NPCs can't deepthroat the PC if their penis is too small.
*** The air bar now appears during encounters when the PC as at risk of suffocation.
* New [[clothing]] added, these are: backwards cap, alice band, maid headband, bun covers, waiter's shirt and waiter's trousers.
* New [[feats]] added, these are: Equine Rescue, Being a Hermaphrodite, Pain Rider, Submerged, and Giddy Up.
* There are other various miscellaneous additions to the game as well, these include:
** [[Robin]] can make the player a flower crown during an event, as well as partake in several other new events such as investigating the player's [[Orphanage]] [[Tending|flower garden]].
** [[Winter]] has another new event related to BDSM, should the player find and bring twenty different [[antiques]].
** [[Avery]]'s rage, [[Wolf Cave|wolf pack]] harmony, and wolf pack ferocity now have their own icons in the Social tab.
** Very strong characters can now carry [[Whitney]] on their back should they try to mount the player, opening new options. 
** The player now gains a bronze, silver and gold star the first three times they study science, maths, english and history on a given day. Gaining a star gives the player a skill boost.
** There's now a chance [[Eden]] will sniff the player out should they try to hide from Eden in town.
** Smaller characters can now more easily squeeze through the holes made by digging in certain dangerous areas such as the [[Underground Brothel]], [[Underground Farm]] and Wolf Cave.
