TLDR:
Update is published for:

Subscribers on my DeviantArt (https://www.deviantart.com/hreshyemis/subscriptions/1381624080) via this post.

My Patreon supporters (https://www.patreon.com/cw/hreshyemis) via this link.

It will become public in a month. I intend to follow this rolling window timetable, where all my updates to the game are received by subscribers one month ahead of the public.

Changelog:

Updated menu.

New tab: the Valley, a map of every woman in the village and the ties between them.

Ties are found through gossip and backstage talk, and they shift over time: rivals can become friends, and friends can fall out.

Every woman has her own standing with Mag. You can't please everyone, and some will come to hate her.

Regulars only grow when you start them on a course from the Ledger, and only once they trust Mag.

Each woman has her own temper and her own view of Mag's growth. Some get power-hungry, and one who beats Mag will get what she wants!

The Harvest Crown is now a weekly event: four Crown nights a season, with points along the way and the sash on the last night.

Measure-offs: a regular who grows to Mag's size can call her out over a grudge. Hear her out and meet her demands, or face her on the tape.

The women call each other out too. Go and watch, back one of them with a draught, or stay out of it.

Major Ledger / Scale Book change, featuring measurements of ALL female chars in game!

Regulars can now outgrow Mag, all the way up to Stage 4. Be the frail and weak mastermind behind the scenes, rearing HYPERMUSCULAR MONSTERS of girls! But beware power-hungry ones turning on you in their insatiable thirst for MUSCLE!

A woman who holds a grudge or has turned sour on Mag will stop coming to the shop until it's settled.

Supper at Zofia’s: select girls and steer the conversation so as to make them like or hate each other!

Each girl has her own unique Harvest Crown stats distribution (Petra is STRONG!), and their stats improve with each stage accordingly.

Give your regulars potions before a Crown night to raise their marks.

Watch any class one of your women walks in, from the crowd.

The Crowning: at the end of each season the Hall shows the podium, Mag's place and prize, and the other classes' winners.

Each woman's Crown results are on her Valley page.

Village News: A notice board with ordinary valley life in between the big stories, as well as important stuff. You’d better not miss it!

Most of the lines were rewritten according to the dynamic between the Regular and Mag: their lines depend on how much bigger or smaller they are.

New proper tutorial, one section per room, all replayable from Menu > Tutorial.

A supporter asked me for a Linux version, and the v0.3.2 one has been out for a while. All releases from now on are gonna feature a Linux release.

Remember me mentioning that Ilse is still in her petite self while telling you about crossing into the next Harvest Crown class even though she has tree-trunk legs at this point? Fixed, it is. Now her sprite matches her stage. Enjoy.

Words:
v0.4, a BIG update.

I wasn’t able to test it much. I don’t think there will be trouble, but still, working on so much stuff day and night has taken a toll on me. I need a couple of days of not touching the game at all so as not to go crazy.

For the next update, v0.4.1, which will feature Mag’s Stage 4 → 5 growth event, I’ll take a less stringent and punishing approach with myself and have some breathing space, so I won’t burn out.

And, as always, my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have already subscribed, and an invitation to those who have not yet, to do so and check the update out.
