I hope everyone had an excellent New Year's! I had a lot going on between MFF, my birthday and the holidays, so apologies for the delay on this one. I'm still very happy with how it turned out-- I'd really like to give players the option to experience the game as gay-ly or otherwise as they'd like, and this little batch of content ought to be the start of that.

When I first began developing Perfect Home, I didn't plan for it to be so heavily focused on M/M scenes. That's just kind of how it started, and when most of my initial audience was coming specifically for that content, I didn't want to betray their interests by adding in too much M/F stuff. But it's been two years, and I've really wanted to write more involving girls! Girls are neat! So the next couple of updates, starting with this one, are going to be focusing on branching out into gender transformation, and the ability to pick and choose who's a girl and who isn't: starting with adding feminine versions of both the cat rogue and the deer!

I really want the game to appeal to a lot more audiences than it does currently, both because I really enjoy writing for more genders on a personal level, and also because this project's now my primary source of income. There's a lot to enjoy in the game right now, but I have a lot of friends that haven't been able to engage with any of it for a number of reasons due to their various preferences and sexualities. I know a lot of people would really enjoy being able to play around with Citrine's gender too for that reason, though THAT'S going to take a lot more time that I don't really have the luxury of focusing on, with how turbulent things have been in recent months. Still! One step at a time!

I'm breaking this update into two parts, 1.6.1 and 1.6.2, in order to make it so you could (in theory) play through the entire game leaning towards one gender or the other, or a blend as suits your fancy. The next character I'm working on revising with gender stuff will be the wolf, and if I have the time, Julian! (Or Juliet.) I'll also be working on male and female versions of different scenes in the game, though I expect I'll have my work cut out for me in order to fully diversify two year's worth of content. 1.6.2 might take a little longer than usual for that reason... but I'm confident in my abilities! Meow!

That's about it for now-- I don't want to tack a release date on this one since I have no clue how much effort fully revising the wolf's bad end is going to require, but I've already started on it! Now it's just a matter of seeing it through to the end.

P.S.: I've been a lot more active in discussing the game's development within the discord server lately. I've been fairly sparse in updating all of you with the game's progress, but I've made a point of discussing where I'm at and my current ideas for the future a lot more regularly-- be sure to check it out!

PATCH NOTES:

• A new item, the Genderswap Potion, can be made at the potion stand. It allows you to change the gender of some servants (the bunny, the deer, and the rabbit).

• In the same way that you determine the leader bunny's gender upon meeting them, you can choose the genders of the rogue cat and cleric deer during their respective story lines as well. You can change this at any time with a Genderswap Potion.

• There are now gendered variants for the deer and the cat! Heavier revisions will need to be made in order to add a female version of Julian and the wolf.

• Various bug fixes!
