The antagonist is your bully, who has been making your life a nightmare, at your lowest point, you find yourself in a situation to gain the upper hand, and suddenly you are the one in control. Maybe they would look cute in girl's clothes...
An important point to make is that this game starts by portraying a deeply unhealthy relationship built on abuse of two different kinds. It isn't finished yet, and the nature of an unfinished work is that it can't have a whole message. I personally believe that artists are responsible for what they produce and the messages in your work, and I would like to be clear that the game is a portion of a greater whole at this point, and the nature of a story told from the perspective of a flawed protagonist is that it can't put all events into perspective as soon as they happen. I hope people will trust that the story will aim to resolve this in a way that is satisfying to the player and doesn't shy away from delving into the issues the characters have, and that their relationship has.

0.10.1:

_ Updates:

- Added new Patrons into credits.
- Fixes:
- Known Issues:
- Saves are probably going to break in weird ways due to some script changes Ren'Py seems to be struggling with. Sorry, but probably best to use a fresh save for this version.
- You can magic a toy out of nowhere because I thought I'd implemented a scene I hadn't in an earlier release. For now I just removed the need to actually have it so the content isn't blocked.
- Removed:
- Removed the terrible old placeholder graphics from the first big scene in preparation for the next art drop (note this probably won't be next release, but this has been in far too long and now is as good a time as any to remove it).
- Missing from this release:
- Still no Android version, the new art ate the time I was going to look into this for. I'm really hoping to get it sorted soon.
0.9.1:
- Fixes:
- Spelling/grammar fixes.
- Fix bugs related to presentation changes not showing correctly.
- Fix bug where the player could end up deleting the video twice.
- Updates:
- Tweaked the rebalance to make it a little less harsh in the beginning. Please do leave feedback on how it feels.
- Added new Patrons into credits.
- Known Issues:
- There is a bug when buying makeup where the mascara line is said regardless of what you buy—this doesn't actually affect anything else, but is still present for now.
0.9.0:
- New Content:
- Added a new plot thread “More flattering”:
- Added a small new scene “Incentive/encouragement/orders…”.

- Fixes:
- Spelling/grammar fixes.
- Moved some events that were meant to happen in the afternoon there instead of the evening.
- Known Issues:
- This release slightly rebalances the game. You may notice your stats are lower than you remember in an old save.
This should not affect things like expression and identity. Please let us know if you run into balance issues.
- You may get multiple events with the same description. This is intentional but they shouldn’t appear alongside
each other. The event system will handle this more gracefully in the future.
- Updates:
- Added new Patrons into credits.
- Small changes to Patron toolbox, please use the new Patron patch.
0.8.1:
- Fixes:
- Fix progress soft-lock where the event “Holding your cards close to your chest” could be unable to fire.

- Added a new plot thread “A Weak Point”:
- Added a new scene “Finding it”.

- Note this event only fires on (in-game) Christmas day.
- For now, when you have completed all other events you should get a option to fire this event early.
- Fixes:
- Another big set of spelling fixes.
- Updates:
- Added new Patrons into credits.
0.6.1:
- New Content:
- Added a new scene “Regret”.
- Added a new scene “Hanging/checking out”.
- Added a new plot thread “Self Pleasure Control”.
- Added a new scene “Thinking”.
- Added a new scene “Telling”.
- Added a new scene “Asking”.

- Added the ability to buy the girl’s uniform if you didn’t during “Shopping”.
- Updates:
- Added new Patrons into credits.
- Fixes:
- A big set of grammar & spelling fixes thanks to a player reporting a bunch.
- Known Issues:
- The “Regret” scene usually directly follows the “Shopping” scene, but it will instead fire on the next evening if you load an old save which has already seen that event. This may result in the scene being a little wrong in terms of when things happened. This is a compromise to avoid forcing players to replay.
0.5.0:
- New Content:
- Added a new plot thread "Uniform"
- Added a new scene "Soup of the day."
- Added a new scene "A suggestion."

0.4.0:
- New Content:
- Added a new scene "Don’t Fret"
- Added a new scene "First Shift"
- Added a new scene "A Dramatic Announcement"
- Added a new scene "Performance"
- Added a new scene "Post-show"
- Fixes:
- Fixed crash in the "The Empty Classroom" scene.
- Small grammar & spelling fixes.
- Updates:
- Added new Patrons into thanks section.
- Missing from this release:
- The eventing system is currently very bare-bones and doesn't have any fluff around events and choices. This system will get improved over time.
- The new artwork is still not here yet, sorry. I'm working with our artist to try and get it sorted.
- Known Issues:
- This release will break compatibility with old saves. Hopefully this will be the last release where that is necessary, it corrects some issues with the way data was being stored in older versions.
0.3.1:
- New:
- Fixes:
- A few small script errors.
0.3.0:
- Missing from this release:
- The first new artwork will drop in a minor release after this, as due to day-job issues our artist wasn't able to finish the work in time for the release.
- There is no inventory view for now. This will be added in later releases.
- There are no patron credits in this version—these will be added for the public release, so no last-minute patrons are left out.
- New Features:
- Dyslexic-friendly font toggle in settings.
- Patreon backers can access the toolkit, allowing them to directly manipulate core game stats.
- To use this, download the sculptor-0.3.0-patron.zip file as well as the release for your platform, and place patron.rpa in the game directory.

- Rewrote "Route Pick" scene.
- Placeholder Content:
- Added new placeholder backgrounds that have a little more fidelity and exist.
- The "Nothing for now." option in "Makeup" is disabled as it would just end the game for now.
- Known Issues:
- This release will likely break compatibility with old saves. You can try them, but I suspect they won't work as expected. This shouldn't happen often, but when core systems change it can be inevitable.
- The toolbox can completely break things (and also get you access to some content that isn't accessible normally), so be aware that things might go wrong if you make drastic changes with it.
- The cash earned animation sometimes doesn't hide properly.
0.2.0
- New content:
- Added a new scene on Day 4 After School ("Observation")
- Added a new scene on Day 5 Morning ("Rain")

- Fix a bug where speech backgrounds were incorrectly being cached with the default character names in.
- Made sure we don't go to sixth form at the weekend.
0.1.0: Initial release
The game is currently essentially text-only, but this is temporary. An artist is now on the team.
Right now, the game is just the introduction, segment which sets up the characters and setting—the pace is currently a bit fast, because having a first version without any fun scenes would be a drag, but hopefully it gives a good idea of what is to come.
