Artifact – 0.79.53 Release & Changelog

+Added Dr. Lydia Sterling's full questline

+Added a frenzy scene for Melissa

• She is located very close to her original location
• If the player has already pushed Melissa to the point of frenzy where she would originally leave, she will now return as of this update

+Added the ability to infest male characters with parasites, so long as they are not diminished

• This effect is currently only cosmetic, as diminished males already become willing females, and sex scenes for non-diminished males are still in the pipeline

*Revised Madison's questline (spoilers ahead)

• If giving Madison the correct textbook, the player will still have a chance to warn her about the Keeper of Secrets before the interaction ends
• When giving Madison the incorrect textbook and choosing to warn her, the quest now completes and rewards XP
• Attempting to find Madison post-questline where the incorrect textbook was given to her will now drop hints about her fate
• The quest log should now properly update between the quest stages regardless of path chosen
• Some of these changes may not work for existing saves where the quest has already started or completed, so a Debug subsection with a Madison Quest option has been added to the Dev Console and may be used to Force Complete (or Force Reset) the quest if any issues have arise

*Applied a fix for an error where Madison could disappear from her location prematurely

*Applied a fix for an issue where the player could get stuck at Tom's house if he went into a frenzy while there

*Applied a fix for the police station quest

• where a scene could prematurely play out before player interaction
• where a potential penis size change would not successfully occur

*Melissa's location will no longer get tangled with Priya's location once Priya has been frenzied

*Improved formatting for the quest tracker, frenzies, and arboretum overlook

*Obtaining the restricted section pass from anyone now passes time

*The Arboretum Overlook is now considered part of the Arboretum, and not part of the Art Building

*Added some more text to the end of the introduction

*Edited some descriptions around the art building

*Various spelling and grammar fixes

*Minor performance improvements
