In the Original Story: the Player will no longer be able to try to Give Derek anything while he is all passionate and stuff with Madison
In the Original Story: Patrick's reached Perception (100) and will hide his booze if he sees Leah or Frank. He's clearly not THAT drunk...
In the Original Story: fixed an issue with-BRREEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWRRRR...sorry. Let me try again: fixed an emote issue with Arin's painting scene that could cause some fighting between various audio clips on the backend
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Leah to walk away from Lety to try and participate in the Game Grumps BRREEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWRRRR (yes, this is the internal name so fuck off, ok?) scene and then become temporarily unable to restart the Lety scene if the Player did not punch Arin in a timely fashion
In the Original Story: attacking Derek or being attacked BY Derek during the events of "High and Dry", and succeeding in defending yourself or running away will no longer irreversibly break his behavior or Madison's behaviors in most cases
In the Original Story: added two new Achievements, "Good Ol' Days", and "Snapped"
In the Original Story: the Player will now receive a small Romance boost with Brittney when completing the threesome with Lety and Brittney

In the Original Story: additional minor social rewards added for generally positive, standalone, choice-based exchanges between the Player and a few NPCs
In the Original Story: fixed a Madison dialogue that could "summon" Derek even if he was technically unavailable
In the Original Story: there is now a minor social meter penalty for pestering Madison after she so very clearly tells you...well...not do that
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could allow fast Players to talk to Derek while he was showing off his 'artwork' during Madison's "Art Show". He needs to be 100% focused...come on!
In the Original Story: cleaned up additional some minor behaviors related to "The Muse", and added some minor social meter adjustments based on Player response choices
In the Original Story: the "timer" that can result in the Player failing out of "High and Dry" (while Derek is climbing to the roof in order to check the Voice Recorder) now starts after his dialogue about Purgalicious being on the roof, resulting in a bit more leniency

In the Original Story: added some restrictions to when the Voice Recorder can be used based upon varying failures of "High and Dry"

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Amy to get stuck in the master bedroom for awhile if the Player asked her for her help with the "art show" sculpture, but then started the "art show" before Amy made it to the bedroom
In the Original Story: made a tweak to requirements for Patrick to show up at the "art show" for "The Muse" that should both maximize his availability to check out your masterpiece, but also prevent him from heading there if he's unavailable
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that let fast Players start a conversation with Madison when she should have otherwise been focused on Derek showing off during the "art show" segment of "The Muse"
In the Original Story: tweaked Patrick's "follow the Player" behavior that can occur after the events of Madison's "art show" to minimize any chance that he will continue to try and follow the Player after reaching Stephanie
In the Original Story: once the Player successfully coaxes Ashley's "pet" out of its cage as part of "Causing a Ruckus", Ashley will try to approach the Player more often. However, she will not approach as readily if the Player is already genitalia-deep in other "high intensity" content. This is to avoid interrupting the Player at certain crucial junctures...and also because she has a modicum of basic AI decency
In the Original Story: made a minor change to Derek's behavior right after the prank ("Sibling Warfare" finale) against Madison that should prevent him from inexplicably trying to walk to Madison later on in a playthrough
In the Original Story: most of the Characters will be more mindful about roaming around to the bedrooms in the house...since, well, who just goes into someone's bedroom uninvited to chill all alone? However, they may still end up in the bedroom(s) if they were invited to hang there by Ashley or Madison, OR if they decided to go hang out with Ashley or Madison on their own
In the Original Story: widespread cleanup of minor Character behaviors like Roaming toggles, etc.

In the Original Story: tweaked when certain 'casual' BGCs will play for a few Characters, most notably Derek

In the Original Story: tightened up events related to Lety and Madison's garage talk for "Queen in the North"

In the Original Story: added protections to ensure that using Madison's "Smooth Operator" relationship-repair perk can never accidentally LOWER any social meter values, in cases where the Player rushed ahead of her in desperation and...IDK...gave away some gifts or some shit
In the Original Story: Madison can also repair socials with Leah and Lety as part of her "Smooth Operator" relationship-repair perk

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Leah to forget to gently hold Julius Squeezer after she did hand stuffs
In the Original Story: choosing the wrong spoofed text to Vickie will actually fail the "Vickie Vixen" opportunity now, since there is no recovery method for sending a second spoofed text at that point
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could prevent Leah's socials from being negatively affected if the Player attacked her outside of varying times in the story during which she's more forgiving
In the Original Story: tweaked some minor behaviors and emotes related to Leah's "punch training" with the Player in the Garage
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could allow Arin to roam away from Dan if the Player gave Dan Compubrah instead of presenting Compubrah via main dialogue
In the Original Story: added some pose-release/action item clipping mitigation to Katherine's "preparation" events before she gets her picture taken with the Game Grumps
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow the Player to pursue a limited amount of Compubrah-related Game Grumps content after "finishing" the GG content in a certain way, which could also cause Katherine to exhibit some minor unintended behaviors
In the Original Story: cleanup of some events, emotes, and possible super-niche bug vectors within Lety and Rachael's "Easter Egg" content
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause Dan to become separated from Arin if the Player met enough criteria to start their Master Bedroom "Coats" scene, but never actually engaged the Grumps in the Scene

In the Original Story: Madison will now be able to see the Player read her diary and react accordingly WHILE the Player still has the "diary dialogue" open. To avoid this, Read the Diary when Madison is NOT in vision of the player at all, or when Madison is facing away from you, or when she is at least six puppies away from you. If you're not in the US, convert puppies to kitties at a ratio of 1.69 k/p
In the Original Story: there is now a social meter impact to being a complete jerk to Madison during her "Smooth Operator" finale
In the Original Story: Derek's "Combat Perk" that you can get from siding with Derek at a couple points in the story will be somewhat more effective at preventing Madison from ensuring your doom...assuming he is around to stick up for you

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow the Player to attempt to reach for the MP3 Player while being intimate or, very rarely, in the midst of transitioning into being KOd. Sorry, these are very serious acts and you need to focus on them, not fresh beats

In the Original Story: cleaned up the behavior that Lety uses to try and stay away from Leah after their "Just in the Kick of Time" encounter

In the Original Story: slight tweak to the criteria for the Game Grumps' "Bathtub Toaster" scenario to start, which should make it less likely for the Player to see the Grumps warp away
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that would allow the Player to start the finale of Ashley's "Drunk and Disorderly" at certain times that were very...unfortunate for her sister. And possibly game breaking
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could prevent a certain Amy behavior related to "Follow Your Calling" and "Apply Pressure" to not execute

In the Original Story: fixed an issue that was causing Madison to become "occupied" and unavailable for some content before she got really, noticeably drunk

In the Original Story: Katherine will now be too excited about taking a photo with the Game Grumps to talk to the Player until the Game Grumps Compubrah/VR finale is over
In the Original Story: tweaked the availability of the apology response for having untied Ashley's Top to be less dependent on two temporary values derived from the finale of Ashley's "Drunk and Disorderly", and on failure cases of "Sibling Warfare" in which the Player did not actually DO anything to/against Ashley
In the Original Story: fixed an issue that could cause the Ashley's Top "Untie" action to become unavailable a bit prematurely as part of her repeatable intimacy reward for "Smooth Operator - Ashley"

In the Original Story: tidied and tightened up some behaviors during the "evil"/Ronin finale of Leah's "Broken Code" opportunity
