Welcome to another early access release post! Much like last month, we worked on something of a grab-bag of content this time. That includes improvements throughout the game, mostly in the Julie and Felicia routes. There's all sorts of small and big improvements to tell you about, so let's get right to it!

New Platform - Android Support

Now you can play Mice Tea on the go! We finally sat down with Ren'Py to figure out how to build an Android version of Mice Tea! The interface has a few kinks to work out, but it's the same game you've known and love, only now portable! If you're not familiar with installing third party apps on your phone, you can follow this guide.

New Story Content - New Short End

Our main focus this month was the second short end to be developed for the game. This one branches off from early in Julie's storyline, and can be reached in the chapter select from the first scene in the "Heist" route. This branch shows what happens when Margaret is left to her own devices to figure out why she's transforming. Like in other paths the tea has a way of making her libido take control, but now she has only the corrupting influence of the internet to guide her. This route also has a new character in the form of Ayala, who Margaret meets in her online trawling. We think you'll find the whole thing short but sweet!

New Story Content - Felicia "Truth" Ending

So far we've had one ending in the Felicia route, but this month has a whole new one. This new scene triggers if you tell your fans the truth about your transformations in your fundraising video chat. It explores a little of what life is like when everyone knows they can turn into an anthro animal with the right beverage. In fact, this ending is basically one and half endings, since it contains two preambles based on what TF story you chose to read early in Felicia's path. Watch through both and see the new sketched sprites for our cameo characters!

New CGs - Mangaret and more

Female to Male transformation fans don't get the love they deserve, so hopefully this update helps remedy that. For those of you who played the "Catscratch" variant of the Felicia route, this new finished CG shows Margaret experiencing things from the other side, as well as Felicia exploring a new part of her sexuality. 

There's also a new TF pinup in the computer research scene in the Felicia route. Just select "Snow Leopard Swap" in that scene to see a newly minted cat girl in a compromised position. The art comes to us courtesy of guest artist CoraBlue, so check them out!

On top of that there's multiple in-progress CGs in the new short end besides the one shown above, as well as a bunch of small tweaks and improvements to other CGs including the rooftop scene with Julie.

New Backgrounds - Murph and Murphy's and the Barlow's Breakroom

Our background artist Artist-chan has been hard at work making our game look much more polished. Included in this update is the local bar frequented by Margaret as well as the break room in the back of Barlow's. We think the new bar background is particularly impressive and improves the atmosphere a lot.

New Feature - Skip Sex Scenes with Content Notices

Whether you're not the type to read sex scenes, you want to avoid certain content, or you're just not in the mood that day, you can use our new sex skip feature to jump to the next part of the story.

More Art and Writing improvements

We're close to putting out a new public demo with some of the new content you've been enjoying the last few months. We wanted patrons to have the first crack at it, but we've improved so much of the early game that we think it's worth putting out a new version. That means we've made a lot of subtle improvements including tweaked UI colors, more expressions, making Margaret's character sprite more accurate to her background, and trimming some of the fat in the early game exposition. It might not be super noticeable on a second playthrough, but we're always trying to make the game a more polished, welcoming game for new and longtime players!

Thanks again for another month of support and come back Tuesday for another development poll. This time we're going to continue one of the main story paths no matter what, so let us know what you'd want to see!
