🔥 Major Changes & Improvements

• Character Creation Rework Character creation and customization now happen in a dedicated environment, making the process more enjoyable and visually neutral. A better experience for everyone!
• New NPC Diversity in Town NPCs in the city are no longer limited to women: futa, dickgirl, and femboy NPCs can now appear naturally!

• Lighting Test – Personal Flashlight A small light has been added to the player camera to brighten darker areas. This is a test – let us know if it helps or if it’s annoying!

💎 Platinum Citizen Perks
