I was really hoping to get something stable out by Christmas but real work has had to take priority and it's been crazy getting stuff done in time for Christmas! I haven't even managed to respond
I anticipate that I won't get much done over the next two weeks, so it'll likely be January before the next update.
I hope everyone has a happy holiday!
Aika
Busy life + confusing bugs = slow progress! But progress is being made all the same.
Progress is being made but slowly due to real life stuff, shouldn't be too much longer assuming I can work out what the hell is going on with breast size!
Sorry guys ran out of time again so this file is 99% untested. Apologies if it's even worse than 1.2! I've tried to tackle bugs in order of priority:
* Gladiator should now be working
* Minimum penis size correction works properly
* Males were not gaining sex addiction on orgasm when they had a penis, this has been fixed
* Sex addiction increase rate is 150% of previous rate, we'll see how this affects balance
* Fishnet dress now makes bras less likely to buckle and ping off instead of the opposite (oops)
* Milking harness flag was not set to penetrating asshole when summoned, this has been fixed
* White basque was not set up to properly layer with knickers, this has been fixed
* White basque now causes a low amount of lactation on its own, we'll see how this affects balance
* Only one metal disc, royal sigil and mechanical joint could spawn, this has been fixed
Absolutely no idea what's going on with breast size in general but haven't spent enough time trying to replicate it yet. Next update will likely come Sunday.
I've dealt with the issues surrounding the gladiator I'm pretty sure. For now, to prevent shitty code that was causing problems, the gladiator will not be able to nipple chain you if you're wearing any overdress or bra, even ones that don't cover your breasts.
Weight gain increasing when it shouldn't and sex and cum addiction not increasing is super confusing because I really can't see what's going wrong, but I'm determined to fix those as top priority as they are core game functionality. I will upload another version as soon as I have those sorted.
To the donators who have emailed me in the last couple of days you're added to the list and you will get a link to 6.1.3 when it exists.
Quick post because I'm still on the road. I'll be able to address the key problems tonight when I get home. Most notable bugs seem to involve weight gain not respecting the fetish selection, plugs not behaving properly on fainting. Most critical balance issues are the cursed stool (weight gain overload) and how powerful the aeromancer is.
There are some QoL issues with talking to some monsters (but they are behaving correctly) and when enabling ass images for males. Also verb interaction with some items is difficult. Sometimes you see doubles of containers in rooms.
To those (few) people complaining about the gameplay quality of the release, I told you to wait a few days!
* You no longer instantly faint if the game reckons you can't escape, you are given the time it takes you to faint to solve the problem
** e.g. become lighter than air from the aeromancer, wait for your belly to shrink so that you can reach your heels to take them off
* If you're not wearing heels you'll always succeed the jump
* Medium sized bellies no longer count as large enough to prevent you reaching your heels
* It now takes very little heel skill to jump in 3 inches or lower heels, but 4 inches has a massive skill requirement jump
The gladiator has a nasty surprise waiting for those who reach their maximum breast size before she's truly happy with their size.
If all the conditions are right (you're on your knees, topless, etc.) then you will find yourself with a new pair of nipple piercings connected by a short chain. This is a permanent addition to your body and cannot be changed.
The evil piercings will prevent you from ever wearing a bra again, and unless blessed will also prevent the donning of any top or dress that covers your breasts.
Whilst cursed they also have a decent chance of causing you to instantly become horny again regardless of how recently you last came.
In the future the item will be usable by monsters to keep you from standing up or dragging you around. Also when titfucking exists this chain will likely cause arousal.
The Royal Slave outfit consists of you wearing a silver circlet on your head and a figure hugging white basque on your body. The appearance of the headgear is triggered by involuntary lactation, with the chance increasing each time it occurs. This means the only way for the cow ears to appear is by using the milking bench.
The royal guard will never ever attack a royal slave until provoked (lest he suffer the wrath of the super-powerful non-super-slut real princess); but as usual once unfriendly he will return for repeat sessions.
The royal slave currently has no other major effects. But the basque does, and the only way you can get it is via the circlet. The basque does something rather unique with lactation which I'll leave you all to discover the details off. Put it this way, the job of the royal slave is to produce and store royal milk, and to keep it on tap.
Since you all were so enthusiastic about the fertility goddess I decided to expand its functionality to make the decision to have lots of babies more meaningful.
Firstly, you gain intelligence equal to how many children you've given birth to. However, whilst pregnant, if the dress is not blessed, your hips will slowly increase in size.
Also, your chance of getting pregnant each turn there's semen in your womb is significantly increased.
Another class, this one triggered by getting pregnant several times throughout the course of the game. The headgear is a laurel wreath, and the dress is either a Roman goddess style tunic or a slutty mother nature style set of ivy leaves and twigs depending on your state of mind at the time.
They both provide the same benefit: usually when your body tries to give birth but you are not in the same region as the father (and the father is still alive), you fall to your knees with painful contractions. This outfit will prevent those contractions from wasting a turn and making you fall to your knees.
They also affect your belly weight value, reducing it if uncursed and reducing it lots if blessed (this can not make your belly lighter than air). The tunic version of the outfit will often have the "of confidence" attribute, reducing your humiliation gains.
I didn't want to start changing this until after the big release as it's a few days' work but as I started improving the monster detection code for other reasons it made too much sense to make sure this was integrated. The release should still make it out within a couple of weeks I hope.
Humiliation, as it currently exists, makes sense from an objective viewpoint since essentially everything in the game is a humiliating experience. However I'm much more interested in it actually being a meaningful gameplay stat to be managed by the player.
So, humiliation and dignity is going to be redefined as (mostly) humiliating things the player consents to / doesn't resist / does of their own volition.
In summary, these are the major things that cause humiliation:
* submitting instead of resisting during sex
* kneeling in front of, and displacing / removing underwear in front of, unfriendly NPCs
* when being noticed by an intelligent monster (essentially the ones you can speak to), if any of the following are true:
** Cum on face
** Crotch or breasts (once A cup or larger) exposed
** Wearing clothing too slutty for your current humiliation level
* voluntarily urinating on the floor of a room or into non-diaper underwear
* drinking urine (you'll generally be given the option of drinking it which hits humiliation or keeping your mouth shut, which will make it get on your clothing, lowering its modifiers)
* things that are unlikely to make it into release 6, including "presenting" a particular orifice, and voluntarily going for a blowjob to spare your lower holes.
* a couple of non-consensual situations are likely to still cause humiliation, e.g. shameful orgasms and taunting when floating uncontrollably from inflation
Humiliation will now slightly lower intelligence as it increases, instead of bimbo. The majority of the flavour will describe how the humiliation affects you less and less as your ego / dignity is stripped from you. Humiliation will decay slightly faster than before.
However if you hit max humiliation, you become "broken". Humiliation can no longer decay, the intelligence penalty is permanent, and a fixed amount gets permanently added to your bimbo score. You now are aroused by humiliation; and so further acts that would increase humiliation increase your arousal instead.
I've now created the code framework for handling insertables such as dildos and butt plugs. Depending on the orifice type (asshole or vagina), the openness and the type of insertable, it has a chance of falling out each turn if there's no underwear keeping it in. Cursed insertables cannot be simply removed and will not just fall out.
If not in combat, you can insert these things yourself. Kicking and kneeing also has a decent chance of forcing the insertable out. As with everything else that can be inside you, while it's there soreness doesn't decay. Soreness and openness may slowly increase depending on the size of the object.
Brief testing made me realise that I really have to do some recoding that's way overdue. At the moment whenever something is trying to enter an orifice it goes through several checks and balances to find out if there's something already there to stop it, and then respond accordingly. Adding a new type of thing that can fill an orifice is a pain in the ass, pun intended.
Therefore I'm spending a decent amount of time optimising the code by making it more modular and homogenous throughout all the different types of things that can be in your butt (and pussy). I'm about halfway done.
At this point I think it's worth saying that there might not end up being a release before the end of the month. But if not it shouldn't be too long after that.
These legendary heels are created from any normal stiletto heeled heels, a black liquid and a pack of playing cards. The pack of playing cards is obtainable once from the poker room. This means you can only ever create these heels once.
The heels get critical hits twice as often as normal heels if not cursed. They also allow you to strut even if you haven't learned the skill. However, whilst wearing them you do not gain heel experience from just walking around. You still get experience from kneeing and kicking monsters.
The heels are created at a height which makes them challenging to walk in. Therefore you may have to continue to wear your other heels for a while until you gain another couple of levels in heel skill. Or with a bit of luck, maybe you have some potions of balance stocked up.
Some of you may have previously obtained this from the vine boss. From now on you'll instead be able to get it through crafting. Crafting this requires a bra, a blue liquid and either two medium eggs or a stiletto heel depending on fetish selections.
The spike bra is the 2nd best bra in terms of the support it provides, after exercise bras. It also damages some enemies when they attack you, specifically those that slap or punch you in the breasts. Sex dolls pop immediately.
The bra will be created one size larger than your current breast size.
The stethoscope that lots of you will know and love is now only available through crafting. Created by combining a metal disc (dropped by a gladiator) with an energy drink, it raises intelligence and increases your competence at checking for traps when worn.
This potion requires a pink liquid and pink hair to create. It interacts with pregnancy in some interesting ways. If you are not pregnant, it makes you pregnant. If you are pregnant, it pauses the growth of the pregnancy. If you have a paused pregnancy, it is unpaused. This could be ideal if you manage to pause a pregnancy in the early stages; faeries would still protect you and the weight wouldn't be a big deal. But a pregnancy paused at full term could get you stuck with a giant belly.
And yes, there may be a monster soon who forces you to drink one of these potions as a possible attack.
A potion is a product of alchemy which adds a permanent, or long term, effect.
The potion of balance, made from a potion of weight loss and a wasp wing / pink hair depending on fetish choices.
The potion shifts lots of weight from your breasts to your hips and ass or vice versa in order to bring the two to near equal values.
If uncursed, the potion jumps your heel skill to the next level. However your experience remains the same so you won't reach the next level until you would normally. It's therefore most optimal to drink this potion just after going up a level, and it's also better to wait until you've gone up the first few levels since these levels are gained more quickly.
The tincture of acceleration is crafted from a potion of speed and a wasp wing (drop from a giant wasp) if egg laying fetish is enabled and pink hair (drop from fairy) if not.
This tincture gives you a massive dexterity boost for a few rounds, as long as it's not cursed. Its side effect is that internal bodily effects are massively accelerated; you will very quickly get very thirsty (but not bring you quite to fainting levels) so it's a good idea to have a drink on your person or accessible nearby. If watersports is enabled, this will cause your bladder to fill very quickly which could cause a missed turn in whatever battle you're in as you wet yourself.
If enabled, pregnancy and milk production will speed along at crazy rates as well. If the tincture is not cursed, exercise will count for a huge amount of calories burned. Blessing the vial will cause the effects to last a few extra rounds.
The Whip of Domination is crafted from a severed vine (only one available, dropped by the vine boss) and a potion of virility. It is equip-able / wieldable which works just like clothing. If it is cursed you will not be able to remove it from your hand.
The whip modifies your slap damage based on its BUC and magic modifier. It also gives a damage bonus / reduction based on your submissive sex addiction, the more dominant you are the higher the bonus, the more submissive you are the more the reduction. The whip also gives a bit of bonus damage if you are currently very horny (but being horny lowers dexterity so this might not be desirable overall in some fights).
Wielding the whip makes you able to become horny even if your sex addiction is currently low. Attacking with the whip will arouse you if you are not yet fully horny. You cannot perform a normal slapping attack whilst wielding the whip and damage modifiers such as the reduction from having very large breasts will still apply.
Killing a monster with the whip lowers sex addiction and humiliation.
The elixir of a magnetism is created from a purple liquid and an infernal gem (a new item dropped by the demoness). When drunk, if uncursed, it intimidates all unfriendly monsters currently attacking you but not yet fucking you. They will run away from you rather than attack for the duration of the effect. Whilst active, all other monsters who are not intimidated will notice you from one room away. The blessed version lasts a few rounds longer.
Good timing on drinking this might make it much more feasible to perform a full heist of the dungeon shop and/or use the woods altar without paying the witch. But if it turns out to be cursed, you might end up in a bit of trouble.
Some craftable items will not be liquids but legendary clothing and equipment. Of course you won't be able to obtain each one every game or even necessarily want to, but when you do find the recipe it will be up to you to decide if it's worth obtaining.
The Condom of Kings is created from a container full of another's semen (recall that the only way to currently capture this is during ass expulsion), a piece of pink rubber (a new sex doll drop) and a royal sigil (a new guard drop). Whilst worn it slowly increases penis size. The larger your penis already is, the lower chance and therefore longer average time until the next increase. Orgasming and ejaculating inside the condom curses it, so try to predict this and remove it beforehand. But once removed the condom is impossible to get back on and discarded. The cursed version slowly reduces your penis size. The blessed version increases your penis size slightly faster.
Spoiler warning: you may find it more fun to discover / try and work out what alchemy items do as and when you craft them. I know I would. If so I suggest not reading the blog posts for the next couple of weeks.
Tinctures are small vials full of a powerful concoction that will give you a massive bonus for 10-15 turns.
The tincture of strength is created from a potion of might and a mechanical joint (a new mannequin drop). Whilst active it gives you a massive superhuman strength boost (boss battle anyone?), but when the time runs out, all that extra strength turns into body size increase & weight gain. The cursed version reduces the duration of the strength gain to just a couple of rounds. The blessed version lasts a few rounds longer.
So I'm adding crafting mechanics to the game in the hope that Microsoft notices me and buys me up for $2.5bn.
You will start to find recipes in some treasure chests. Recipes can be carried around or memorised. The limit of how many you can commit to memory is based on your intelligence. If you leave a recipe unattended, monsters may pick them up as they wander.
Recipes contain the name of the item that can be created and the items required. Usually one of these items will be a liquid. If the item is a bodily fluid then this will likely require the "brewing" of this liquid inside your belly followed by capture in an open topped vessel during expulsion.
To successfully create the item, go to the apothecary with the items required and use the craft verb. A player with low intelligence has a chance of accidentally and unknowingly creating a cursed version of the item.
Many monsters will now sometimes drop items which have no purpose other than crafting and possibly some trading in the future.
I'm going to try and make some small but frequent posts about the items that can be created as I add them to the game. They've already (mostly) been designed but have yet to be coded.
Right now I'm trying to code whilst on a train with a nosy shoulder surfer next to me. I know because I saw him googling "test 2" and "inform" on his iPhone (the filename is that exactly so I can work on sfw parts of the game in public without getting busted). I think when I hit compile and he saw that the source code is 250 000 words long he got interested and wondered if I'm some famous game dev.
Anyway it's annoying, I'm trying to code some alchemy stuff without using any keywords that'll let him find this blog or the wiki. I am tempted to let him see the title just as I get off the train though. In fact just in case I do, hi dude, yep that's right this is a fetish game for sexual deviants. And please don't shoulder surf so blatantly in the future it makes people uncomfortable.
Anyway I apologise for the lack of update in this post, but this triggered a random thought I wanted to share with my audience. I wonder how many players I have walked past or interacted with in real life without any idea. Having a mostly anomymous internet persona is a bit weird like that.
Real meaningful blog updates will resume this weekend!
This modest dress is obviously associated with the pregnancy fetish and will frequently appear in the shop if it is enabled.
The donator had some pretty specific stuff in mind about the subtle things it does and wants you to work them out on your own, but I can say that it interacts with pregnancy and with lactation in some way.
Sorry for the lack of updates, my new job needs me to start earlier than planned so I've been packing and moving, and I don't have a desk for my desktop yet in my new place. Everything will be returning to some level of normal soon.
Just handed in my final piece of coursework ever, hooray! Giving myself a few days off then I will be back on it. There will be a bit of a slowdown in a month for a few weeks for my finals but it's all downhill from here! <3
Hey guys, I'm away for the weekend but this is just a quick blog from my phone to discuss two major bugs people are encountering.
When you run out of earnings, the game stops tracking time which means your thirst decays every single turn! Oops. I'll fix this soon but I'm afraid I'm not at my pc until Monday.
Secondly, people are discussing the game freezing when you faint. I'm pretty sure this is acually the game waiting for you to press enter to continue, although I understand that message isn't appearing for some reason.
If pressing enter doesn't work, I suggest changing the settings so that delays are set to the fastest possible time and then it should only take a minute or so for it to continue automatically.
Diapers are working as intended, I'll discuss that further when I have the time!
So now that masturbation is a skill everyone starts with, the wench needs a new skill she can teach the player. So who would be more appropriate to give a lesson on deepthroating!
Whenever you get facefucked, you may now gag, which causes large amounts of humiliation, especially if it causes you to chuck up semen. Learning the deepthroating skill prevents gagging.
There may soon be some other benefits as well, maybe for example it will help with opportunities to earn a discount on items for sale...
I think most people who enable the option are in agreement that pregnancy could use a bit more depth than just being on a ticking clock until you faint.
So I've finally managed to devise a system I'm happy with, which allows for the game to continue without it getting super weird (well, depending on what you find weird!)
So, when it's time to give birth, the game will look for potential fathers - that is anyone who donated their DNA to your noble cause before you became pregnant.
The game will try and find an alive father - if there is one. If it finds one, and you're not in the correct region, you'll keel over with contractions. This will happen with relative regularity to encourage you to return and find the father. If you are in the right region, you will give birth and the father will appear as if by magic to deliver the baby. The baby then disappears as far as you're concerned, but the father will act very differently towards you now, you're the mother of his child!
If there are no alive humanoid fathers, it checks for other potential fathers. This includes sex dolls, tentacle monsters, insemination traps (which don't exist yet :-P), etc. Depending on your fetish choices, these may cause you to spawn a new monster of that type into the world, lay eggs, or just faint.
In other news, I've got some cool varying text now for common words. The text varies between several synonyms and is significantly influenced by bimbo level. So what the game may sometimes describe as "seminal fluid" at the start of the game, may be called "yummy man juice" towards the end.
And in other other news, the source text just hit 200 000 words! Woo!
