ALPHA 0.4.10


By popular request, this update adds cum diets and cockmilking. This was not planned, but the dairy code was re-purposed for this relatively easily. I have expanded upon several suggestions from playtesters about how to conceptualize this as an economically viable market, but it's still very much intended as a luxury that cannot power your finances for you. Cum diets do not require cockmilking, since I suspect some players will find the former appealing without wanting to keep big-balled chattel.

As FC moves towards 1.0, balance is going to become a progressively greater concern. I personally enjoy h-games that offer a challenge, and that's what I want for FC. As lactation fetishist playtesters discovered with 0.4.9, however, that does mean that I will sometimes err on the side of too much difficulty rather than too little.

This patch improves milk production by offering bonuses on a sliding scale for happy and healthy cows. (It also penalizes unhappiness and unhealthiness.) These changes illustrate the approach I'm going to try to maintain going forward, in two ways. First, they're more conservative than they would have been a couple of months ago. A perfectly devoted, perfectly healthy cow will produce slightly less than half again as much milk in 0.4.10 as she would have in 0.4.9. Second, they're scaled bonuses, not stepped. Where possible, I'm trying to move away from offering big benefits above a precise stat value.
