Find this demon frog (auranura) in Dyabal’s Cabin!

This is a small area added to the far right side of the Forbidden Bayou.

This spawns patterns of flaming bullets. Bates starts using this in Phase 3, and adds new patterns in Phases 4 and 5.

The game’s music has been updated to the mastered soundtrack.

Liath now has a cauldron, an updated hut, and new dialogue.

The door to Smol Beach has been moved a bit more to the right.

Fixed Koji (Daku NPC) & Joe's sex animation in Ali's Surf Shack.

Fixed Ajax (Bax NPC) & Joe's sex animation in the Gallery.

Fixed the white screen bug at title when mashing the submit button from the very beginning of the game (or when returning to title from gameplay).

Fixed Amaru's sexy taunt hearts to move properly on “JumpThrough” platforms, and also not move the bodies of defeated enemies.

All characters use a new custom shader to allow for proper color overlay effects. This shader may be more performant than the old one as well.

As a result, some visual effects, most notably the invulnerability/damage color on Joe, will be more apparent.

Gallery characters have been spread out more to avoid overlap, and other cosmetic tweaks have been made to the Gallery.

Added extra animation loops for fullscreen Game Over and Loading Screen animations when using the Gallery's Play All feature.

Bates's AI should not make him stop attacking Joe at any point.

Bates's AI should not make him move bizarrely or go off screen.

Bates's HP bar will show and hide properly, even when Joe gets a game over and then continues.

Joe will no longer be able to have sex with Bates while he is downed and invulnerable between phases.

Bates's invulnerability between phases has less visual flickering (he'll still be invulnerable for the same amount of time).

Bates will have a magenta overlay on his body when he is downed at 100% lust, indicating that the sex animation will be different (such as with a normal enemy while they are swooned).

Five Chillpills have been added to Lood City Park to lower the player's lust before the battle with Bates.

You can find and fight Bates in Lood City Park (see further below).

This is a beta version of Bates. We have most of his moves and sex animations implemented, and you can battle him in a form close to what we have intended. Bates operates a bit differently from normal enemies. For example, when he reaches 100% lust, he is not swooned, but has a defense debuff applied.

After you beat Bates, go right to read a sign with a special message, and then check the Gallery for all Bates animations unlocked, including a bonus animation! (We couldn't get it in the battle just yet, but you can see it in the Gallery.)

We have more in the works for Bates including new and improved attacks, additional sex animations, and a post-defeat cutscene with dialogue. These updates will roll out over the coming months, and we hope you enjoy them!

You can get here through a new door on the far right side of Lood City.

This is a small linear area where you fight Bates! The design is subject to change in upcoming updates. We also added a Life Spring Aura to fill your HP and SP!

Hear these in Lood City Park and in the battle with Bates!

These three tracks were composed by Cilantro, with additional arrangement on the Boss Battle tracks by Ket Ralus, and guitar on Final Mix by Ugly Prick!

Bates's attacks have little to no sound effects. What's there is a placeholder.

Some of Bates's attacks are incomplete, and some other moves are absent.

Joe is able to have sex with Bates while he is downed and invulnerable between phases, though this should not be possible.

Bates may sometimes move bizarrely or go off screen.

There are no Bates Game Over animations.

Defeating Bates abruptly cuts back to normal gameplay with no post-defeat content (aside from the placeholder sign off to the right).
