Fixed the Septum ring slot and Bridal bar not always showing and hiding with masks properly.
-- It can still get stuck if you had Concealed identity; equip/unequip your eyewear or mask if this happens.
Fixed open cards going blank when you use the Outfit & weapon controls slot.
Possible fix for players using Proton on Linux rather than the native support.
Fixed some more typos; thanks for the reports!

It's not necessarily a big deal, but it's been a long time coming -- the Steam overlay now works in-game. You can't buy credits directly through it yet, but that's something we'll be adding in future. Note that if you don't like Steam's default shortcut key, you can always change it for each game you use. We've also improved how stat requirements are displayed when you only need to fulfil one out of a group of them (what we call "or groups"). It should be a lot clearer what's going on with them now, especially for colour blind players.

There are a few other things in-game. Top surgery is now possible if you're in a relationship with Ann (although she might be difficult to convince). It'll be unlocked for all other relationships soon as well, along with yet more body modification options. There are also some new quirks and clothing items, and tweaks to some existing content.

[h2]Christmas in Cinci[/h2]
Our holiday event will start on 2024-12-21 and last until just after New Year, as usual. There will be some completely new content this time around, along with the usual previews, access codes and other things. More details closer to the time.

[h2]Refer me[/h2]
By popular request, the game now has a referrer system. Every player now as a referral code that they can give to any other player -- preferably someone you're actually sending to the game, but it'll work for anyone. You can find your referral code in Menu > Account.

You'll receive ten percent of the value credits that the players you refer buy. This includes their whole account history, not just since they used your code. There will also be additional perks based on the number of paying players you refer. Plus if you've used someone else's referrer code, there's a perk for you too.

This is a completely new system with a number of moving parts, so perks, percentages and other features might be changed in future. As part of this update, the layout of the account dialog has also be altered.

[h2]Body modification[/h2]
Also by popular demand, you can now have top surgery (and bottom will follow soon). Breast enhancement was also possible, but this means you can get a pair if you had none at all. Right now, you can only do this if you don't have a committed partner, for the sake of being able to release this content sooner rather than later. As you can probably imagine, writing all the partner interactions with a body change such as this is quite a lot of work.

However, please rest assured that you'll soon be able to do this even if you have a partner, so please don't be tempted to split up just to get it done! There are plenty more modifications coming soon.

[h2]Other stuff[/h2]
There are various other bits and bobs in this update. Read the full changelog below.

• New referrer system.
  
  
• You can now get top surgery.
  
• You can now get your tongue split.
  
  
• Removed the Odd jobs cards and moved their content onto the appropriate rumours cards.
  
• - They were basically redundant.
  
• Errands in the dump have had some work.
  
• There's a little more content visiting the Detention Centre without being a prisoner.
  
• You can now ask your associates about your modification project even if you've hit your quota.
  
• Tweaked the Legs slot so it'll show up when wearing more clothes.
  
  
• Fixed some typos and minor bugs. Thanks for the reports!
  

The main thing this time is our latest accessibility feature for screen reader and other users. While you have an action button on a card focused, press "e" to bring up a dialog box that explains all the requirements for that action. As ever, you can access the full list of keyboard shortcuts in-game via the menu.

This feature brings the game closer to being completely accessible on screen readers. It's very close as-is, but there are still a handful of things that are tricky to interpret. I'm also planning some additional features that'll make the whole experience a lot smoother.

We've also got more regular features this time, including a schedule for Marie, new cooking recipes for mutants, plus some other tweaks and features around mealtime. Hanging out at the gym has also had a load of work. It was very old content, so felt a little outdated at this point.

When the votes were combined, Whores for the slaughter and The sickness in the Core won a recent content poll on Discord, and because these two are both closely related and something you can discover early in the game, it made sense to finish them off. Take a moral stance... or don't. The choice is yours.

The absolute winner of the content poll was Cyberchurch. That taking taking longer as it's actually two complex stories in one, with multiple moving parts and will require a lot of other things to be finished first. But it is coming!

However, the main big batch of content being worked on at the moment is more main mission content. A lot has been done already, but there's a lot more still to do. In the meantime, expect the usual smaller updates, tweaks and fixes, as usual.

[h3]Events[/h3]
The next one is Christmas and New Year, which will feature a lot of unique items and previews, as usual. After that, there'll be Valentine's, which is a relative short event. And between the two will be the release of the new OST, both in-game and as a purchase on Steam. It's over two hours of music in total, including both old and new tracks, but everything remastered.
