R6 ETA, because everybody keeps asking...

I am working my ass off whenever I have spare time to get the game to a point where I think it can be called release 6.  I don't reckon it'll be before the end of the year but hopefully not long after that!  Think of it as a late Christmas present.  I should have around 80% of the current requests completed and included in the first version.

I'm still extremely broke (Christmas is not cheap is it @_@) so if anyone has been sitting on the fence about donating, please do!  I'll love you forever.  If you are already planning to donate but are waiting until you think of a cool idea before donating, I can keep you on my list of people who have donated but not requested anything yet and you can request it at a later date when you think of something awesome.  And I will be able to pay my rent next month ;-)

Anyway love you all and keep the sweet comments coming, I crave all your attention just like a good bimbo should.

The Pink Wardrobe

One annoying thing about the game is that it will take ages to find your first of a specific item of clothing you really want.  To slightly improve this situation, I bring to you the Pink Wardrobe!

This wardrobe will be in the Royal Chambers when you start the game.  It will contain a few low level items for you to get started with - one pair of heels, one pair of underwear, one bra, etc.  However, it's probably not sensible to just throw them all on.  They will never have any of the beneficial magical abilities (endurance, speed, etc.) and are twice as likely to be cursed and/or have a negative magical ability (posture training, constriction, etc.).  Underwear will always be the type with writing on that effects you negatively in some way, unless it's a g-string which are pretty useless anyway.

These items will never leave the wardrobe unless you take them, including when the dungeon resets.  It will also never refill.  Feel free to leave the wardrobe alone completely, or to take items when you feel it's worth it.  Maybe starting off with some awful cursed heels is worth the risk to start training that heel skill immediately?  Maybe that slutty tube top is worth wearing because it'll prevent any class outfits appearing on top of it?  That's up to you to decide.

Huge Underwear Overhaul

I do overhauls a lot, but this one is even bigger than most.  I've completely changed the code structure for underwear in order to allow for a few neat things.

Firstly, some overdressy outfit things can now block access to your orifices as well as panties.  They can be gotten past in two ways: either the monster can rip the part of the material covering your sex, or they can simply pull the material to the side.

Which brings me to the second thing: Displacable outfits and panties.  Both you and monsters can pull these to the side, essentially negating all their effects.  You can only do this if they aren't cursed.  Monsters that almost managed to rip off your underwear but not quite will instead have managed to pull them to the side in this manner.  You won't be able to replace them until you are out of danger.

You can displace underwear (and outfits) yourself to ensure that monsters don't rip them apart, if you like.  But doing so will be very humiliating as you are essentially offering your ass on a silver platter.  If you have watersports fetish on, you can also use this to pee.

Finally, the code now allows for orifices to be unprotected by underwear.  Some underwear will only protect your pussy, and some underwear will be completely crotchless.  Only protecting your pussy will mean that monsters will almost certainly aim for your ass, which allows you to keep your virginity.  This will become important in a later update.  Crotchless underwear is pretty useless, to be honest.  What it does do is prevent the game, monsters, and some traps that don't exist yet from spawning any other underwear on you, which you might find desirable.  Maybe in the future there will be some magic effects for panties, and then you could use crotchless underwear as a way to never lose your magic underwear with that ability.

Hair Styles and Cheerleader Outfit

There's a new item called the pink scrunchie.  The scrunchie can be added to your hair if it is long enough, and currently only by mannequins.  It will give you a ponytail, which increases your bimbo meter slightly and makes it a bit more likely that a monster will be able to grab hold of your hair when you are trying to stand (but a bit less likely that they'll step on it).  A second scrunchie can be added creating pigtails, which exacerbates those effects.

When ponytailed or pigtailed, there is a chance of the cheerleader outfit appearing on you.  This chance increases if you uncurse or bless the scrunchie(s).  The cheerleader outfit makes most male monsters treat you less harshly when having sex with you, preventing you from gaining soreness.  The outfit does, however, magically prevent you from wearing any new underwear that you find.  You could always uncurse the outfit, remove it, wear some knickers, then wear the outfit again, but the outfit will then become cursed again.

The combination of at least one scrunchie and the outfit classifies as a class outfit, and there will probably be more functionality as to what can happen whilst you are the cheerleader in the future.  What makes the cheerleader outfit even more unique, is that it contains one of the only ways in the game to lower your breast and hip size.  You'll have to work out when it does this and when it doesn't for yourselves.

Bikini Tops

Bikini tops are considered bras for the majority of their functionality.  However due to the request of the person that donated for them, there's some special features if you have lactation fetish enabled.

Whereas normal cursed bras would increase your breast mass, cursed bikinis will increase your milk volume the same amount.  If your bikini is cursed and your breasts are already big enough to fit in them, the bikini may increase in size itself to allow the cycle to continue.  Also, cursed bikinis will always have the milk production attribute.

Wearing a swimsuit item affects your chances of being caught by monsters when washing in bodies of water.

Anon Commenting!

A helpful user on TFGS pointed out that you needed an account to post comments on this blog, which was annoying.  I've changed that so you should now be able to post comments without having to do any signing in!  Woo!

Clothing and Humiliation

A small update on humiliation. The game now periodically checks your clothes, and if there are any particularly outrageous items with respect to how dignified you currently feel, there's a decent chance that they will humiliate you further.  When this happens the game will tell the player that they're feeling particularly embarrassed about an item of clothing, and say which one.  This should make the player think twice about just wearing all the most outrageous items, as they won't only affect you once now.

Some of the most outrageous dresses in the game (latex catsuit, some of the latex dresses [and some more if you have big boobs], nightie) will add a level to your bimbo meter just for being worn.  It's up to you to decide if that's worth it!

Finally, there is now a minimum amount that humiliation will increase.  Before, it could often be 0 once you didn't feel very dignified anyway.  This should make it more of a real risk that you can reach the later levels of humiliation if it takes you too long to finish the game.

Nightie Night

When sleeping in the princess' bed without wearing a dress, you have a decent chance of having the nightie appear on you.  It makes your fatigue increase faster whilst walking around.  It also has another quite cool thing it can do that I'll leave some clever person to discover and post about on the forums themselves.

When watersports fetish is active, it may be a nightie of bed wetting, which often causes added humiliation when you rest, and can summon cursed diapers onto your body.

Bras Need More Love

So at the moment, bras don't do much except slightly reduce the weight of your breasts which isn't something you even really notice because fatigue just builds up slowly in the background.  Not only that but if your breasts grow too big they will destroy your dress.  I have decided to make them much more exciting and potentially rewarding!

Firstly, when a bra bursts there's only a chance that it'll also break your dress.  So that's something.  Secondly, I've redone weight a bit so that bras make an even bigger impact, especially if you have large breasts.  But most importantly, I've added some magic properties that they can have.

Like with heels, there are two good ones and two bad ones.  The first good one is absorption, which lets the bra slowly clean itself and any dress you are wearing from any unwanted bodily fluids that may have spilled on them.  The second one is suppression, which lowers the rate at which arousal returns after an orgasm.  The first bad one is temptation, which increases your bimbo stat significantly until you can remove the bra.  The second one is milk production, which increases your breasts milk production rate, and will obviously only appear when lactation fetish is enabled.

There's also a new uncommon bra which will turn up every now and then.  I'll let you discover that for yourself.  It's really only useful if you've got lactation fetish enabled, but it'll still appear on occasion if you don't, just in case you want to wear it anyway.

Anyway I think suppression is a really strong ability at the moment, and hopefully the chance to get a bra with this ability will be one of the main motivators for people trying on lots of different bras.

Cursed from Birth

There's a new option you can select from the fetish menu: Unlucky.

Being unlucky means that things have never seemed to go your way when left up to chance.  In terms of Trap Quest, the most notable difference is that clothing will be a lot more likely to be cursed.  Monsters will be slightly more likely to want to use their actions that dress you up in things, and lots of the random numbers in the background that check whether or not to make something appear on your person are more likely to trigger successfully.

Are you turned on by the idea of someone being forced to wear slutty clothing against their will, and be unable to remove it?  Then this perk is probably for you.

Chastity Cage

Following on from the changes mentioned in the previous post, here's an item that interacts with arousal.

A chastity cage will prevent you from masturbating.  It will also prevent you from performing any form of aggressive sexual maneuver (that's how submissive it makes you feel I guess!).  Whilst wearing a chastity cage, your arousal will return slightly faster than usual.  As with most items, when it is cursed, its negative effects will be strengthened, causing you to become horny again at an even faster rate.  A male wearing a cursed chastity belt will also find that their penis might shrink every now and then.

Attempting to masturbate as soon as you become horny comes with a small risk of the chastity belt appearing.  The longer you leave it, the less chance this has of happening.  Some class outfits will probably have a small chance of this appearing with them.

Everybody is Free to Masturbate!

Firstly, I should note that once your sex addiction reaches a slightly notable level, you can now be horny, and whilst horny you will suffer a temporary decrease to intelligence.  This intelligence drop increases if you are especially addicted to sex.

In release 5, masturbation can only be performed after learning the skill from the wench.  It lowers humiliation but raises sex addiction.  It also resets your arousal timer (which decides whether it's been long enough that you can orgasm again).

For several reasons, I've decided that this skill should be one that all players can perform without having to learn first.  There are conditions, though.  You have to have a small amount of sex addiction, enough that being horny is affecting your intelligence.  If your overall bimbo level is too high, you'll refuse to masturbate, as you want to save yourself for the monsters in the game.  There is a way around that - the breast massage skill from the gladiator will make your player masturbate even if they weren't planning on it when they started playing with their tits.

Masturbating no longer decreases humiliation (unless combined with a breast massage) and is much less likely to increase sex addiction.  It still slightly heals orifice soreness.  In this way, players can use it more frequently if they wish in order to prevent more shameful orgasms and to rid themselves of the effects of being horny.  However, overusing it will inevitably cause sex addiction to slowly rise!

A bit more on ballgags

There will be some normal ballgags in the game as well as the cock pacifier.  These will come in varying sizes, larger ones being worse.  The larger the ballgag, the more it makes your jaws ache, which of course makes it more difficult to concentrate on everything else that is happening.  This is reflected in the game by your intelligence taking a significant hit whilst wearing large ballgags.

I'm still working on the varying ways that these ballgags might actually find their way onto your person!  The witch will definitely be one way, and there'll be at least one clothing and bondage applying trap in the hotel level.

Cock Pacifier? Yes Please!

I have now created the core code for ballgags, and added the first of the (hopefully many) ballgags to the game.  Ballgags in general will stop you from talking and possibly stop you from drinking.  Obviously since thirst is such a big part of this game I'm looking for clever ways to allow you to keep up your thirst whilst wearing a ballgag.  At the moment I'm thinking that maybe you should still be able to drink by trying to pour around the ballgag but that it has a chance of failure and wastage.

Anyway, the cock pacifier is special.  It's magic and squirts liquid down your throat, both automatically and when you suck on it.  Sometimes it will just be water, and sometimes it will be semen (which of course increases your sex addiction).  The regularity of it being semen of course increases if the pacifier is cursed.

At the moment the pacifier can materialize after certain mouth based events (for example the statue) if your sex addiction is high enough.

Lactation Rate

The first expansion to the lactation mechanic is the obvious one: the player having a lactation rate.  Some things in the game can now increase the player's lactation rate, which essentially is how fast the player's breasts create milk, and therefore swell in size.  Currently if the player is at max breast size, this causes immediate lactation, but this might require more tweaking.

The player also will now drip / squirt milk at regular intervals, and these intervals will be more regular if the player has more milk to squirt.  Squirting milk will slowly humiliate the player, and also of course means your bra and dresses can now get stained with milk. This affects them negatively similar to the cum soaking mechanic, but slightly less severely.  Milk dripping to the floor will create a puddle which, just like all other types of puddles, increases the chance that the player will slip if trying to walk in heels from this room.

If you are at max breast size and your breasts increase in size in the more traditional fashion, your milk levels will decrease to make room for the more permanent breast size increase.

Oh God Diapers

First of all, don't worry if this is one of your "yuck" areas, this feature is kept securely behind the watersports fetish, and even if you love watersports and don't want to use this feature, you can just ignore them every time they turn up, they won't be forced on you.  If you're not interested in watersports at all, I suggest you stop reading now!

Now that's out the way, if you're still reading, let me tell you about what I've added thanks to a donator who wishes to remain anonymous.  Firstly, when watersports fetish is enabled, you will have a bladder meter that increases as your stomach digests any liquids you've consumed.  When it's high enough you can manually urinate or you will automatically urinate if you let it get high enough that you can't hold it any more (this is often more humiliating).  If you are in the toilets or next to a body of water, you will urinate without any humiliation.  If you are elsewhere, you will urinate on the floor, which creates a slippery puddle which can cause you to fall over when trying to walk in heels.  If you are wearing underwear, you will instead soil your underwear, reducing its beneficial abilities and greatly humiliating yourself.

Also, if you have learned the fuck ability from the shopkeeper, you will sometimes be able to urinate on monsters you have defeated instead of screwing them.

So, where do diapers fit into all this?  Well they are high defense underwear that can soak up much more urine than any other item of clothing in the game.  Furthermore it is not humiliating to soil one, and the diaper's defensive stats are not affected by its urine or cum levels.  However, the downsides are that diapers get large and heavy as they soak up urine, and this causes practical issues when trying to walk around in heels.  If a diaper is cursed and you can't take it off, well, you'll probably find it a lot more challenging to walk around in heels than when the diaper gets to full size.

Diapers also slightly increase the rate at which your bladder fills.  A blessed one hardly increases this at all, and a cursed one increases it significantly.  Also, I haven't coded this yet, but a particularly large diaper will probably prevent you from donning some skin tight items of clothing such as the catsuit.

You will find a diaper in a container every now and then, and there should always be a few available for purchase (or desperate steal attempt?) from the shop in the dungeon.

Changes to stomach and belly mechanics

In release 5, your stomach and belly were completely separate entities with no ability to interact or overlap.  Furthermore, your stomach fill (the one that related to how much you could drink, or if you were dying of thirst) had absolutely no effect on your actual belly size.

All this has changed in release 6!  Firstly, your stomach capacity now contributes to your belly size a little bit.  The contents of your stomach is slowly 'digested', decreasing a separate thirst stat every time there is something to be digested.  When there isn't, your thirst stat will start to rise.  Your belly, which fills up from your butthole, still contributes to the majority of what makes your belly size.  However it now has slightly less capacity and can overflow when full, filling up your stomach with semen.  This will cause an instant increase in sex addiction.

This semen will then of course be slowly digested, but whilst full you will of course find yourself unable to drink and more fluids.

If, when being filled from your rear, both your stomach and belly are full to capacity, then it will come out your mouth and you have a large chance of fainting!

Womb mechanics remain the same; females have a smaller belly capacity and that spare capacity is moved to the vagina, which contributes to belly size in exactly the same proportion as belly fill.

The exact numbers are as follows:

Males:

Stomach: 5 units
Belly: 30 units

Females:

Stomach: 5 units
Belly: 20 units
Womb: 10 units

When the womb is full, extra semen causes your pussy soreness and openness stats to rise rapidly as in release 5.

No More Minmaxing

I've changed the way you spend points in strength, dexterity and intelligence at the beginning of the game in order to prevent people shoving 10 points in strength and dexterity, ignoring intelligence, and then just kneeing every monster to death.  This will also increase the relative value of the other options, namely improving the maximum and minimum values.  Essentially the 1st and 2nd point in each stat cost 1 point, then the 3rd and 4th point cost 2 points, and the 5th and 6th cost 3 points, and so on.

The amount of points that each fetish perk gives you to spend has been scaled accordingly.

Oh, and the good news is that the new release should be out some time this weekend.

Orifice Soreness Decay

In the current version, when the PC reaches maximum orifice soreness, they are almost stuck there; to reduce these stats they have to go use the statue or find lots of lube, the latter of which only works for the player's ass.  To reduce the amount the player needs to rely on these features, the player's ass and pussy soreness will now slowly decay.

However I have also decided that at the moment it's too difficult to faint without encountering a special event.  So, whilst you are at max ass soreness, you now risk fainting if the game attempts to increase ass soreness again, and you've had an orgasm recently.  The calculation is as follows:

If a random number from 0 to (11 - the body soreness of the player) is 0, the player faints.

So, what you can expect to happen in-game is something like this:  You get caught, you get a bit sore, you orgasm, you lose some soreness as you're walking around, you get a bit more sore, you get even more sore and then every moment you're getting screwed whilst fully sore, there is a very real possibility that you'll faint.

At full body soreness and full ass soreness, you are very likely to instantly faint after your next orgasm.

Pussy soreness works much the same as before; gaining more pussy soreness at full soreness will increase sex addiction.  At max sex addiction, it reduces intelligence instead.  The only change is that pussy soreness will now slowly decay.

This new way to faint is quite a major change and may require more playtesting, but I think there needs to be a more constantly real threat of fainting, and I think this works well.  It also gives players more incentive to submit (a small amount of long term damage to your bimbo level) over resist (short term damage to your ass soreness, which is essentially your HP).

ASCII Map Finally Working

For the past few weeks I've been attempting to get a working ASCII map of the rooms that the player has discovered so far.

I've now finally got the base code working; you can now clearly see on the map where you are, where you've been, and what rooms you've walked past (so you know they're there) but that you didn't enter.  It also uniquely identifies the stairwell.

So while it is now in a state where I am happy for it to be available for use in the next publicly available version of the game, I am not yet done with it.  For example, as discussed on the forum, it can be improved to give much more detail on each of the known rooms.

At the moment it also does not show connections between rooms, just if there is a room at each grid position.  So you still have to work out the correct path to take to get there yourself.

To see the map in-game, all you will have to do is type "map".  Maybe one day soon it will be in its own frame!

Hip Size Overhaul

Hip size was a weird element in Trap Quest - a stat which the game implied was a positive attribute but which carried lots of negative aspects.  I've decided this didn't work out as planned, so now hip size is a negative stat just like all the other body part stats (except penis length).

The weight gain potion has been replaced with a potion of virility - this reduces your sex addiction, and if you are male may increase your penis size.  Cursed drinks now have a chance to increase hip size.  The weight loss potion can sometimes decrease hip size when blessed.

The defensive stat that hip size provided to your orifices has been halved; so whilst it is still there, we should see less of the sex dolls and dildo poles essentially never managing to hit their target after you reach maximum hip size.

Also, the contribution of hip size to your weight has been increased slightly.  So in summary, hip size is definitely a bad thing now!

Sunday 13 October 2013

Makeup Changes

It's makeup's turn to have a revamp!  This one is very similar to the hair colour revamp; makeup now decays every now and then so is less permanent.  To make up for this, I've made two significant changes:

1) There is a new trap in containers that applies a level of makeup unless you succeed a difficult dexterity roll.

2) Makeup adds significantly more to your bimbo score than it used to.  So as opposed to it being a negative stat that slowly increases but you can't get rid of without fainting, you should now consider it an even greater problem, but a temporary one.

I've also decided that your bimbo stat doesn't actually have enough influence in the game right now - it's actually nowhere near as big a problem compared to body weight, and the levels of your main stats like strength.  So to begin to make it more of an issue, some monsters will now always be unfriendly when you reach certain levels of bimbo.  Currently the monsters I have made this change on are the sex doll, wench, demoness and mannequin; each monster becoming unfriendly at different points in your descent into sluthood.

These two changes combined should create an environment where you actually care about keeping your bimbo stat down when trying to "win" the game.

Changes to Learning Skills from Monsters

At the moment, when you attempt to learn a skill, you have to question a monster.  If your intelligence is not significantly high, you will ask a simpler question and receive a response which may be completely useless to you with regards to gameplay.  The monster will then never accept a question until the map resets.  This is obviously awful, so I've worked to improve this system without making it stupidly easy to learn skills.

Firstly, you now have a chance of asking the appropriate question ("Can you teach me anything useful?") every time.  This chance increases as your intelligence increases, so there's still lots of motivation to keep your intelligence high.

Secondly, the check to see if you successfully learn the skill is no longer solely based on your intelligence.  It's based on your intelligence and one other relevant stat, depending on the skill you're trying to learn.  So you can often have a decent chance of learning the skill even if your intelligence is horrible.  The second stat that is used is often a negative stat - for example, begging for mercy gets easier to learn the higher your sex addiction is.  Wanking is easier to learn the higher your humiliation is.

Lastly, after five minutes, monsters will now be open to another question.  Not only this, but every time your raw intelligence increases, this cooldown is reduced by three minutes.  So even if you fail to get the skill with your first question, never fear!  Come back in a bit and ask again!

So, as you can see, intelligence is still extremely beneficial, but not 100% necessary to learn skills.

Hair Colour Changes

Today, as one of the final modifications of release 5, I added some features that should make your hair colour a lot more varied and less likely to get stuck at pink.

Firstly, the chance of your hair increasing in a certain hair colour stat is 1 / (1 + current hair colour level).  So the first increase is 100%, but the last increase only has a 33% chance of success each time the game tries to raise it.

Secondly, there is now a passive hair colour decay.  Every 150 seconds, the game tries to lower one of your hair colour stats at random.  This will only succeed if the hair colour stat is above the minimum value and you are not wearing any headgear that objects to this decay.  Currently the tiara prevents changes to all three stats, and the maid headdress prevents the decrease of redness and blondeness but allows brightness to decrease.

Lastly, there are a few other ways that hair colour can reduce itself.  Every time you successfully find a trap, there is a 20% chance of blondeness going down.  Every time you successfully jump from a dildo trap, there is a 20% chance of redness going down.  Every time you successfully kill a monster, there is a % chance of brightness going down that depends on the difficulty level of the monster.

In the near future of the game I hope to add more ways that your hair colour can tend towards pink, to partially compensate for these changes, and also maybe some rare ways that your hair can get dyed in the real world which prevents your hair colour ever going completely back to black.

The Dev Blog Awakens

It has reached the point where a forum thread is too difficult for people to follow easily.  By logging my progress here, hopefully the less frequent forum goers will be able to more easily keep track of what's going on.

Watch this space!
