Hello! I'm excited to release the next Update to The Second Circle!

This Update features a new Combo System, a Gallery, and Level Skip!

New in this patch:

• Added full scale talking scenes for Marga, Ardael, and Meria.
• Added a Gallery, located in the East wing of the Refuge's second floor.
  • The Gallery will contain most Cutscenes, Quest Scenes (unlocked after viewing), and Defeat Scenes (unlocked after completing levels).
• Added an addendum to the Intro Cutscene showing Jenna chased down by Serath's Demons.
• Added a new Lore Cutscene, found in the Imp Village.
• Added new visuals for when Jenna sucks off the Dickjars.
• Added a new weapon type: the Arcane Vibrator.
  • Found in a box on the Refuge's second floor.
• Added a Cutscene at the end of the Road of Ruining, showing Jenna's journey down the River Dyx.
• Added a Combo system for Jenna to use in combat.
  • Instead of the previous Mana based system, Spells will now be cast using Elemental Charges.
  • Jenna will use four new Basic Attacks to build these charges and gain a small amount of Lust.
  • Jenna can equip up to three Advanced Spells, which can be cast with the 'Combo' button during combat.
  • Marga will give Jenna four Advanced Spells when she gives her the Arcane Phallus during their first conversation.
  • Advanced Spells will consume their Charge cost, as well as reduce Jenna's Lust.
  • The Lust gauge will now start at zero after sitting at a Cockfire, and will build up due to Enemy attacks.
  • The function of the previously invisible Orgasm gauge will be given to the Lust gauge, causing Jenna to Orgasm when reaching 100 Lust.
  • Both Charges and Lust will be maintained between battles and reset when sitting at a Cockfire.
• Added a Level Skip option when loading a new game.
  • This will allow previous players to skip to new content.
  • Will give you a selection of Equipment and Key Items that you would have found up to that point. 
  • Will give you enough Souls to level up to the chosen area.
  • Current options: Arborael's Wood, Confluence of Dyx, and Road of Ruining.
  • Not recommended for new Players.
  • Will not give everything that you would have acquired from actually playing the previous Levels (working on this).
  • Might result in duplicate Items if you go back to the places you would have picked them up.

Fixes and Tweaks:

• 'Lusty Phials' are now 'Lustless Phials', and reduce Jenna's Lust instead of increasing it.
• Due to the new Combo system, the two Spells that could be found from Dickjars are obsolete. They have be removed until they can be reworked, and the Dickjars will now give a Drop of Angel Cum instead.
• Similarly, the Divine Whisper Spell in Meria's shop has also been replaced by Angel Cum.
• Reduced the number of Souls required at Level 1 from 500 to 200, which will make every Level after that cheaper as well. This will hopefully reduce early game grind.
• Removed the Lust Stat as a Level Up option due to background changed that make it harder to increase Max Lust (Lust is now TP instead of MP, for those familiar with RPGMaker). Lust remains a Stat on the Equip Screen, but does nothing.
• Mirrored the Cockfire Scene to match the other Talking Scenes.
• Removed 'Skills' from weapons to make room for the Combo system. I'm still trying to find ways to make weapon's feel unique beyond Stats.
• Imp's Code set now Increases Will instead of Lust.
• Beaded Phallus is now the Beaded Plug, and has it's own animation.

Because of how long it's been since the last Update, and my poor record keeping, I'm sure to have missed some stuff I changed or added. So feel free to ask about any tweaks or bugs you find.

This Update will NOT be compatible with saves from previous versions.

No Paid Post on my SubscribeStar or Patreon for this release.

Feel free to ask about anything I may have missed. :)

Enjoy!
