Divine Dawn 0.14a Released!

Changelog;

• Ashley now has art, courtesy of Mistimagi! She has 20 expressions (most of them smug) and a pretty decent variety of outfits, see if you can find them all!
• Ashley's Nether training part 1 is done. I'm super proud of it. Parts 2+ will come in a future update.
• Since this seems to be the Ashley update, she also got the first Badon content, a date (with some dressing room snu-snu) that unlocks her second outfit.
• Severn now has a proper ending, which fuckstarts the plot back UP. Has a few routes and moral choices to make. Also, optional temporary partners! Every current party member and any temporary partners you pick up there have special scenes, though I'd say rescuing the girl, sticking with Celica, or buddying up with the fish bois are my favorites.
• Badon is now sorta in the game, with a pretty chunky intro that has even more plot!
• A huge variety of ability conditions are now functional, with some used in past or new abilities. They can have alternate descriptions play now too!
• Abilities now have more scaling options as well, like with opponent stats or your defense - should be nice when shields get more skills soon.
• Some abilities can now apply elemental vulnerability effects, which amplify elemental damage. In the future, traits will also add resistances.
• Bleeds, Burns, and Poisons are now somewhat better differentiated. Burns typically deal strong constant damage based on your stats, while bleeds typically have weaker scaling but can be stacked infinitely. Poison can now deal varying % max health damage. In the future, traits and abilities will play with the system more.
• Sarah got a 4 trust scene
• Whospasia sex battle is now replayable in camp

I wrote up a pretty detailed introspective on the good, the bad, and the ugly of 0.14 - what went wrong and what went right. You can read it on Discord or Patreon if you're curious. There's no paywall, I just don't want to clog up this topic with it lol.

Looking forward, I'm going to try another monthly update, putting into practice the lessons I learned from this one. My primary goal is to flesh out sex battles overall; adding new ones, victory/defeat scenes for some, and some mechanics updates. There will also be more Badon content (dates, possibly brothel) and camp content (finishing Nether training, more romance stuff). Depending on how it goes I may go back to biweekly, stick to monthly, or alternate depending on update content.

For 0.15 though, I'm aiming for the last week of September. As we get closer to release I might have a more specific date.

Special thanks to Jiffic/jfc (Metatron's artist) for the update banner, and grim/Pavonius on the discord for lots of typo/bug reports!
