Here's this month's update from the contributor team and myself! This update's main focus is addressing some older events that needed modernizing and extending the encounter system.

Encounters are now aware of the type of space they take place in. For example, missionary on the floor of a tiny shower stall is no longer a thing that happens.

The system is further aware of what furniture and other objects are available to interact with. You can be bent over a desk, mount somebody on a chair, or even lie down on a bed! If your partner pins you up against something like a brick wall, it'll hurt. Verisimilitude!

Over time this system can be expanded further, with certain props available depending on where you are, and being pushed up against a window intersecting with the exhibitionism system. Positions can be made very specific, allowing us to better handle sex furniture, gloryholes, and the like.

Many new toys have been added as well, in particular impact toys and clamps.

As always, a huge thanks goes out to the contributors for their hard work adding to this update! They've added new clothing, new events, and done much to expand this update.

Next week I will be back on the River Rat update. I hope to end up about done with the server job events this month. The bartender job event set should be a bit more straightforward, with the underlying systems mostly done. There will be a progress report in next Friday's dev diary.

If you're not aware, we're maintaining two parallel development cycles:

• The monthly update might contain new event sets, new locations, or new mechanics, but usually focuses on extending existing content or polishing existing systems. It comes out once a month with whatever we got done in that time period... hence the name!
• The roadmap update checks off one or more items on the roadmap, adding extensive new mechanics and a bunch of related new events in one go, often fundamentally changing how the game can be played. It usually takes multiple months.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy!
