Trap Quest Fanfiction!

Hey guys, firstly I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and thank you all for the kind words you've sent my way recently.  Unfortunately due to a lame thing called "real work" (pfft) I'm probably going to have to move back the ETA of release 6 to some time early February because I probably won't be able to do much developing in the first half of January.  But never fear I'm still here, and will still reply to y'all and stuff, it's just I don't have much free time right now.

Anyway the fun news is that a deviant called Jamie (find their deviantart blog here) has written a piece of fanfiction on the player's first meeting with a gladiator.  I like how the dialogue is based of what the gladiator actually says in the game!  Anyway if you've got a spare few minutes you should give it a read, you can find it on the deviantart page or you can read it below:

Trap Quest: Meeting the Gladiator
Nikias had no choice but to press the big red button.  He didn’t want to, though.  He had tried every other option available to him.  He had yelled his lungs out.  He had pounded his fists against the hatch for at least a minute, but the large metal chamber had not opened and given him his freedom back.  Nikki had even kicked the chamber, but that just made his foot feel sore. 
The only thing that was left to him was the big red button that he was trying to avoid pushing.  The boy had no choice but to press the big red button, though, and so he did after resigning himself to the fact that he was going to be stuck in the virtual reality world that those blasted bimbos had called “Trap Quest.” With a growl, Nikki pressed that damned red button that was mocking him and he instantly winced, expecting something bad to happen.
The buzzing in the chamber freaked him out.  It freaked him out even more as it got louder and louder.  Nikias pressed his hands against the chamber and yelled out that the chamber must be malfunctioning, but he couldn’t even hear himself.  He banged his hands against the chamber again and again, the sound of which was barely audible by then.  Then, rather suddenly, he felt his body getting lifted up, transported through space and time.
Soon, bright colors were passing by him as breakneck speeds.  Nikki became disoriented and dizzy.  When everything stopped, Nikki whimpered lightly from his still-blurry vision and he stumbled about until he fell down onto the floor, landing on his knees with a slight ‘oof!’  Nikias just waited on his knees while his vision slowly returned to him.  While he was on his knees, though, he could feel a slight tingling feeling at the back of his head and he knew that if he stood back up, it would go away.  It was as though the game was trying to tell him that being on your knees was both natural and… pleasurable.  Nikias shivered at that thought and then remembered that he was in a game.
After recalling that he was in a game, Nikki quickly stood up.  That tingling feeling must be the game working its evil magic on him.  He had to resist its powers, no matter how convincing it was.  Then, with a squeak, Nikki realized, fully, that he was inside of a virtual reality game... and out of the corner of his eyes he could see that he was naked!  Nikki blushed wildly and looked down at himself, seeing that he was not clad in any clothes at all. His slender, flat body was completely naked.  Most embarrassingly, his manhood was swaying freely with no support at all.  At least nobody was there to see him so lewdly out in the open.
Nikki turned to look in the mirror, wondering if the game had changed anything about him.  He sighed with relief when that wasn’t the case.  His eyes still had his signature heterochromatic look about them with the right eye being green and the left eye, blue.  His short hair still glinted silver in the light and the tips were still purple.  Even better, he still had his cat ears and tail.  Everything appeared to be well in order, from the tip of his kitty ears to his flat chest, to his slim hips, and his smooth legs.
After everything was settled, Nikias finally gazed around the room that he had been transported to.  Everything about it was pink.  The walls were pink, the ceiling and carpet were pink, and the bed was pink.  Even the linen on the bed was pink! Not everything in the room was pink, though.  Only one thing stood out as not being pink and that was the large treasure chest in the middle of the room. Nikki grinned immediately when he saw it.  If this was a game, that meant that there were rewards to be had.  He didn’t know what this game was even about yet, but if he was getting rewarded already, he didn’t mind it so much.
Nikias walked over to the chest and heaved it open.  He expected a mound of golden coins and jewels, but instead all he saw inside of the huge chest was a pair of pink brief panties.  Was this game trying to dress him up in girly things?  The panties were better than nothing, however, and so he reached inside, grabbed them, and slid them up onto his body.  The panties were tight against his rear and firmly supported his cock and balls.  At least they didn’t have any embarrassing saying on the butt like most panties of this type did these days.  With at least a pair of underwear secured, Nikki felt better about being in this game and noticed that the only way that he could go was through a doorway to the east. 
The boy abandoned all sense of carefulness and went through the doorway and came to what appeared to be a throne room.  It had another treasure chest in it and there was a pink and gold throne at the west end of the throne room.  The throne also had pink frills at the bottom.  All in all, it was pretty damn girly.  Nikki, however, had senses of great grandeur.  He fancied himself on many occasion as a sort of prince.  The throne, no matter how sissy it seemed, just fit into that fantasy, and so Nikki sat down upon it.
As soon as Nikias sat down, a silver tiara appeared onto his head.  Nikki let out a yelp and stood back up, reaching to his head to take the tiara off.  It didn’t budge at all, however; it flat out refused to come off of his head. “I’m not a princess!” The kitty-boy yelled out as he desperately tried to remove the tiara from his head.  As if the tiara responded to him, Nikki’s hair suddenly became longer. It was now down to his shoulder.
Not wanting to see how else the tiara could torment him, Nikki stopped tugging at the tiara and walked over to the treasure chest with a huff.  He opened it, only to see a pink C-cup wonderbra at the bottom.  Nikki reached in and grabbed it, feeling the soft fabric.  It had padding inside of them.  Nikias knew what these were for.  They were to support breasts, but also to push them up and improve how they looked.  By now, Nikki got the game’s message:  it was slowly trying to turn him into a girl.  He glared at the bra, but slid one of the hooks into his tight panties to let the bra dangle at his hip.  It might come in handy later, considering the nature of the game.
Nikias then went into the next room to the east, as that was the only door he could go to that had an unexplored room.  Once inside, he coughed lightly.  The air was different in here.  All around him, he could see pink smoke, but it appeared to be denser than air.  Nikki was fine as he was because he the pink smoke only hovered around the waist level.  As long as he didn’t kneel or fall down or anything, he wouldn’t have to find out the kinds of horror the pink smoke would do to him.  It would probably turn him into a girl or something like that.  Nikias rolled his eyes and laughed at the ridiculous idea as he began to walk through the room.
Halfway across the room, Nikki saw a figure in the distance.  Somebody else was in here with him.  Seeing as Nikki was the optimistic sort, he frantically waved his hand and called out to the person.  “Hey! Over here! Come over here, please! I need your help!”  Nikki felt relief just knowing someone else was there.  Other people were in this game and that meant he’d probably have someone to talk to – someone who could help him so that he wouldn’t go crazy from the stress and nagging pressures.
Nikki put his hand down when the figure stepped into the room, though.  He blushed wildly at the sight of them.  They were a female and she had beautiful ebony skin.  She did not seem to be wearing much, too; only a belt that hung down around her groin like a loincloth, and protectors for her shins, forearms, and shoulders.  She had a red cape as well, but that didn’t cover anything at all.  Instead, her large breasts hung free and the woman was holding her head up high as though she were proud of how great they were.  She had with her a blunt-looking shortsword that didn’t seem sharp enough to cut even butter, but Nikki still didn’t want to get hit with it.
It was when the amazoness gladiator looked at him with those dark, ominous eyes and gave him such a menacing sneer that Nikias knew he was in trouble.  He could tell that this woman looked down on him and not just literally either, since she towered above his short stature.  She thought – no, she knew – that she was better than him and she proved it with that confident, assertive gait, stepping towards him while appraising his appearance.
Nikki let out a squeak when she was only a foot away from him, but he was frozen on the spot like a deer in headlights.  He didn’t know what to do.  He didn’t know what she was going to do.  He just knew that there was probably no way that he could manage to outrun her and that if he tried, it would probably just piss her off more than she already looked.
            Then, the amazoness laughed at him.  “You there,” she said, looking him up and down again, “you do not look like a real woman with such small breasts.”  She laughed again and gave his chest a slap with the flat side of her blade.

Nikki let out a yelp and recoiled some, stumbling backwards.  He almost fell down, which would have been the second time that happened in the game, but the catboy just barely managed to keep his balance.  He couldn’t blame her for thinking that he was a girl, though.  He was wearing a pair of panties and the bulge in them was mostly hidden by the pink smoke.  Nikias was also wearing a princess’ tiara (that couldn’t come off) and his hair was longer than it usually was.  Not only that, but his body was admittedly rather androgynous.  Maybe she just thought of him as a flat-chested girl?  That didn’t mean he couldn’t be indignant about her mistake.
“H-hey,” Nikki stuttered, taking a step towards the large-breasted dark woman. “I… I-”
The woman hit him on the chest again, as though mocking his lack of breasts, and then she laughed loudly once again.  “Do not worry, though!” She said, holding out her arms in a wide arc. “I shall help you!”
Nikki blinked at the woman’s words.  It was as though she believed she was going to do him a favor.  She was going to fix his lack-of-breasts problem - which he didn’t find to be a problem – and then everything would be alright.
The catboy ground his teeth, seething with rage now.  His face was burning a bright red.  This blasted game had insulted him for the last time and he was not going to have it.  Who was she to judge him for having a flat chest?  He was a guy anyways!  He didn’t want her help!  He didn’t want anyone’s help!  And he was going to show her who meant business, too!  This was one male that this amazon was not going to conquer!
Nikki stepped forward, only to get his chest hit again by the gladiator woman’s sword and the lady laughed at him again.  It was as though she was toying with him.  His chest was starting to get sore, too.  With another frustrated growl, Nikki pounced forward to try and grab the sword from that evil woman.  He would give her a taste of her own medicine and maybe smack her chest a few times.
His well-wishing didn’t get him very far, however, because as Nikki leapt towards the dull weapon, the amazon expertly gathered up his wrists and held them high above his head.  She held them high enough that he had to step on his tippy toes.  Nikki whimpered with fear, wondering what was going to happen to him now and the amazon gave him a look of mocking derision.  His jaw dropped open as he started to say something, but then he felt a sharp pain in his backside that made him yelp like a girl.
“Naughty girl!” The woman teased as she slapped his rear again with the flat side of the sword, making him squeal out in pain.  “I ought to punish you for that.  Trying to hit your superiors; trying to steal a sword that such a sissy girl like you has no right to!  Hah!  I’m going to show you exactly where your place in this dungeon is, girl, and that’s at the bottom.”
Nikki cried out from the pain again as the woman smacked his rear once more.  Tears started to well up in his eyes and when the sword fell again, striking his rear with another stinging smack, they burst forth.  A few tears slid down his pale face, staining his cheeks.  He sniffled lightly and squirmed around in her grasp, but the woman just firmly held him in place and laughed once again.  She no doubt enjoyed the sight of his wiggling hips.  “Pl-please, ma’am, I-” Nikki started, only to get the sword pressed against his lips, cutting him off.
Then, the woman let go of his hands and for a few short moments, Nikki had the gall to hope that he’d managed to appeal to her better nature.  Mercy was going to be coming his way, he was sure.  Except, the woman grabbed a fistful of his hair and pulled him close. She grinned wide at him and looked him over one last time.  It was such an intense stare that Nikki whimpered again, unable to muster up any words to defend himself with.
That whine only amused the woman and she sneered at him again.  Then, she spoke two words that made Nikki’s entire body shiver. “Down, girl.” The woman said, laughing again and speaking to him as though he were some kind of dog meant to heel at their Master’s feet.  She didn’t wait for him to kneel down into the smoke, though, not that he even would have.  With her tight grip on his shoulder-length hair, the amazon woman just pushed him down to his knees and down below the smoke so that his ass was high up in the air. 
Nikki spluttered and coughed when he breathed in the pink smoke.  “Breathe it in now, that’s right…” Nikias heard the amazon say to him.  He didn’t know what it was going to do to him and he didn’t want to know what it was going to do to him, but he had no choice in the matter.  He was going to find out whether he wanted to or not because, try as he might to struggle, the woman just firmly held him down on his knees no matter how much he squirmed.
As Nikias stayed down on his knees on the cold hard ground, that niggling feeling returned to the back of his mind.  Kneeling was natural, the feeling said; it was where a good little slut like him was meant to be.  Nikki did his best to fight against this, but he had a feeling that as long as he was on his knees, such thoughts would constantly barrage his mind.  The best that he could do was hope that his willpower was stronger than the overwhelming urges that this game was pushing on him.
The worst part was that there wasn’t just one feeling he was getting.  There was another one.  A new one, but it didn’t invade his thoughts like the other one.  Nikki could feel it invading his body instead, making him feel heavier.  When next he coughed and spluttered from inhaling the pink smoke, he accidentally took a deeper breath from the pink smoke and he could feel his body getting heavier once again; he could feel his chest getting heavier, but he couldn’t see anything in the pink smoke.  He didn’t know what was happening to him.
Nikki was lifted back above the smoke with a yank of his hair and he gasped for the precious pure air.  The heavy feeling disappeared the more breaths he took, but it didn’t go away completely and after several moments of composing himself, he looked up at the amazon again.  He was still trying to catch his breath, so he didn’t say anything, but he saw the woman looking him over.  Her dark eyes did not look down at him in a mocking way, however.  Those dark brown pools of hers held disapproval in their depths.
“Not big enough yet.” The dark woman said to him, though he didn’t know what wasn’t big enough yet. “You still need my help to become a real woman.”  There was little derision in her voice, but there was pity.  Nikki could tell that the amazon really was, from her perspective, trying to help him from some pathetic ailment she thought he was suffering from.
Nikki finally managed to find his words.  He just wished he had it in him to do more than snivel to the buxom lady. “But… but I’m not a woman…”  Nikki said with another gasp, his chest heaving lightly.  Maybe she would leave him be now that she knew he wasn’t a female. 
The amazon didn’t leave him alone.  Instead, she tightened her grip on his hair.  Nikki winced from the slight pain and then gasped again when the woman pulled him higher into the air.  It was then that he noticed something, but just barely.  He had felt his chest give a small bounce.  Nikki’s eyes widened in fear and knowing from what that meant and he looked to the gladiator, who was now smiling wide at him.  Then, the amazon glanced down at his chest.
Nikias glanced downwards as well and what he saw made him squeak.  They looked as though they were just starting to develop.  They couldn’t even have been an A cup yet, but Nikki’s chest was starting to expand outwards.  His nipples, and the area around them, were starting to perk up.  Now, he knew what the pink smoke did.  It was giving him breasts.
“No, you’re not.  Not yet, but you will be.”  The dark, powerful woman promised him.  Nikki didn’t even have time to protest or beg for mercy before the amazon plunged his face back down into the pink smoke.  The poor kitten didn’t even try to hold his breath and as the pink smoke filled his lungs, he could feel that heaviness returning and it was starting to concentrate around his chest much more than it had been the last time.
“It’ll be over soon…” Nikki heard the woman’s voice promise as she held his face into the smoke again.  His head clouded up with terribly embarrassing thoughts again and he whimpered at the growing sensitivity to his chest.  Nikias, now hyper-aware of the situation, could feel his chest slowly expanding now, becoming more and more receptive.  It was an entirely new erogenous zone that was begging for more volume.  It was begging to be touched.  Newfound nerves were screaming to be stimulated.  It was too much for Nikki’s clouded mind and he let out a high-pitched moan.  Was the game even changing his voice? 
Nikias was lifted up again and he could once again breathe the pure air.  He didn’t gasp for it as much as he did last time.  There was no point to it.  The pink smoke’s corruption was inevitable, he’d accepted that.  Nikki was too sore to struggle against the gladiator woman anymore, who once again wore a look of disapproval.  He was also too tired to do anything else either.  Growing breasts was taking a lot out of him.
“They’re still not big enough.” The woman said, frankly.  When Nikki looked down, he saw that they were bigger than before.  They were taking shape now; actual cups were starting to form.  “Those have to be just little A’s.  You clearly need more help becoming a real woman!” The amazon said, disappointment ringing in her voice.  Nikias knew as soon as she said those words that he was going to get another trip back into the smoke.  He wasn’t sure if he could take the pressure anymore and this game wasn’t going to let him go.
“Pl-please, no,” Nikki begged, his mismatched eyes going wide and welling up with tears again.  It was just all too much for him.  He liked it, he didn’t like it.  The feeling in the back of his head told him that he wanted more, but something in his groin told him that he didn’t.  If that wasn’t confusing enough, he could feel the front of his panties stretching from his growing erection.  Nikias was becoming aroused from the situation.  This game was twisting him.  It wasn’t the play thing, he was.  And for some awful reason, that just made his cock twitch inside of his panties a little bit more.
The amazon looked him over again and then shook her head. “No.  Your breasts are still nowhere big enough.  They must be larger so that you can carry them with pride.  I am just trying to help you, can’t you see?  Now, be a good little girl and stop making a fuss about it.  You want it; I can feel it.”  With another sneer, the amazon felt around the smoke with her foot until it brushed up against his groin, making his cock twitch again. “See?  In you go; it’ll be over soon…”
Nikki once again found himself face first in the pink smoke and though he coughed, it was becoming more enjoyable.  The nagging feeling in the back of his head told him so and if the feeling had color, it would be pink.  And pink was good.  The first room had been pink.  The throne had been pink.  His panties and bra were both pink, the latter of which was now probably going to get used.  Most importantly, the smoke was pink.  The game was telling him that pink was good.
The kitty-boy – was he still a boy? – could feel his breasts growing again.  They were swelling and it felt good to him.  Nikki’s eyes rolled up and he coughed in the smoke more, giving up for good now.  He needed more rest before he could fight this game again and maybe… just maybe, having breasts wouldn’t be so bad.  Nikki had thought about what it would be like to have them before.  Now he was going to know and he was already starting to.
Nikki coughed lightly again and felt his breasts get bigger. Then, that tingling feeling came back.  It was light and pleasurable, even though his chest was getting heavier.  Nikias couldn’t stop himself from moaning again, once more high-pitched.  As soon as he moaned, Nikki was pulled up again and was met with the clear air, not that he minded the difference anymore.
“Close,” Nikki heard the amazon say, “But not yet.  Once more will do I think, yes?”  The woman was no longer looking at him with disappointment or derision.  When Nikki looked into her eyes, he swore that he saw a small glint of pride.  “Nnnn…” was the only sound that he could gather up.  He heard the woman chuckle and pat him on the head.  “It really will be over soon,” the woman continued, “And then you’ll have breasts that you can be proud of and you’ll be able to understand what it is like to be a strong woman!  Like me!”
Nikki was put back in the smoke and he coughed again, but his eyes rolled up as he coughed, his fate accepted.  The quivering feeling was back and it was far more intense than the last time.  It felt so good that he moaned again and his cock strained against his panties, stretching them out and staining them with pre-cum. His chest heaved as he coughed, the pink smoke still invading his lungs and body.  Nikki didn’t mind it so much anymore, though, and when his chest expanded outwards again, it was a near orgasmic feeling for the boy.
After letting out a loud, girlish moan, Nikki was pulled back above the pink smoke and after hearing a laugh, he was stood up.  He nearly stumbled, which would have put him in the smoke again, but he caught his balance and shook his head, managing to clear his thoughts.  Now that he was no longer on his knees and he wasn’t breathing in the pink smoke, his mind was returning to him.  It took a few seconds to finally get a handle on himself and when he did, he looked down and shrieked.
Nikki’s breasts were decent in size and when he took a breath, they rose up with his chest.  They hung down with a weight that Nikki wasn’t used to, completely free and unsupported.  They were round and full; they were shaped like grapefruits.  At least they were even and symmetrical, but Nikki still blushed as the cold air of the room attacked his new, sensitive flesh, making him shiver with both embarrassment and delight.  Mostly the former, however.
The amazon woman laughed heartily and slapped him on the rear with her hand.  Nikki yelped and reached behind to rub his still-stinging hindquarter, blushing wildly.  Then, he realized that he was standing there and his breasts hanging freely and let out a squeak, clapping an arm over them to both support them and hide them somewhat.
The dark gladiator just laughed at him again and shook her head.  “You have impressive physique now and I’m glad that I could help!  I just hope that you can get used to the extra weight!”  She laughed again and pointed down to his hip before turning and leaving the room, swaying her hips proudly with each profound step.  Before long, she was gone and Nikki was left standing all alone in the pink smoky room.
With a sigh, Nikias unhooked the bra from his panties and pulled them out.  He brought it to his chest, the padding feeling nice against his skin, and growled with frustration as he struggled to clasp the bra.  He managed to do it, eventually, and not long after that, the weariness hit him.  Nikki was so tired and sore from the events so far.  He just didn’t know if he could manage exploring any further and whatever other dangers he would have to face.
Turning around, Nikki went west into the throne room and then west again into the bedroom he’d first been in.  He walked with a limp, so it took him a while to get there, but when he got there, it was like a breath of fresh air.  This room was safe, he could tell.  Nobody would get him or hurt him in here, though he didn’t know why he had that feeling.
When he was back in the bedroom, Nikki looked himself over in the mirror again. He lifted his breasts up with both hands, examining them.  He gave those fleshy mounds a few squeezes, as if trying to test that they were real.  The moans that escaped his lips and the pleasured feelings that ran along his spine told him enough that the breasts were real enough for the game. 
Then, he looked down and saw his darkly-stained panties.  Nikki still had a large bulge in them.  The game hadn’t taken that from him yet, so he was not completely a girl, but he didn’t feel entirely male anymore either.  He also still had his androgynous body.  The smoke hadn’t changed anything else, just given him breasts.  Now, Nikki was something in between boy and girl, a part of both worlds, but he had a feeling this game wasn’t done with him yet.
Pushing those thoughts out of his head, Nikki walked over to the bed and collapsed on it, face-first.  He set his head down on the pillow and gave a sigh of relief.  He could at least have this comforting moment.  The boy rolled onto his back and brought a hand up to his chest.  Nikki grumbled lightly with embarrassment as he cupped a breast again, but closed his eyes after that and rested for as long as he pleased.



Awesome!  Anyway keep the fan art coming guys, I love it! <3

  1. Don't know where to report errors, so I'll say it here.

    I downloaded both Gargoyle and GluIxe, I've also downloaded from both MEGA and the file here. The file appears to be invalid.

    1. That's pretty weird. People are downloading the interpreters and the game file every day and nobody else has got in contact saying they're having any problems. And the links haven't changed in a couple of months! Would you mind trying downloading again? Or if at all possible, trying it out with a different PC?

      Delete
    2. The links are ok...I just tryed'em...It's something with your browser...try Firefox.
      Oprea V.

    3. Got it! At first it was because the file downloaded from the site wasn't finished.

      Then a reboot of the computer seemed to fix the invalid .gblorb file error.

      All good now.

  2. Congrats on the job!

  3. that was a really good read, made me want to try another strategy for trap quest.

    I wonder if a neko-ish fetish would make it into the game? the tail could be a grab modifier. There could be a chance that you automatically open a container in the room even if you know it is trapped. Lastly maybe a npc that is attracted/ obsessed with neko players.

    Please let us know of fan-works as they come up and grats on the job ^.^

  4. New player here using Glux the game seems to auto advance text, and I can't finish reading scenes anyone know why?

    1. People were having issues where they accidentally pressed a letter when it says "press enter to continue" or clicked with the mouse. This made it impossible to continue the game. So I made the game automatically continue after a while so that if someone did actually get themselves stuck they just had to wait a minute.

      In release 6 I plan to add an option in the settings menu that lets you choose between a few speeds at which the game automatically presses enter for you, so that slow readers aren't left behind!

      Delete
    2. I see... can you include an option to turn this off entirely...?

      I've missed a few scenes because of it, also when is release six coming?

      Delete
    3. I can include the option to turn it off entirely, but I would recommend against using it.

      As for release 6, I literally said at the start of this blog post, probably sometime early February.

    4. If you use Gargoyle at least it has a re-sizable window and a scroll bar and you can easily look back to any text you missed. If you can, try that one.

    1. Try examining the small altar a bit more closely. It's not the same as the large altar in the dungeon.

      Delete
    2. I have used every verb on the wiki trying to make the altar do something. I really wish you'd just say outright how to use it, because I am too dumb to parse it myself.

    3. You can only place jewellery on it.

    1. It'll probably be a few days because I'm not at home at the moment and don't have access to my main PC. It's a lot easier for me to properly update that list once I get home.

  7. I know the game is far from a "final release" but there are a few things that are driving me nuts when playing it and I do not know to which degree you could potentially make it easier for some players that are not so used to "dungeon crawlers/rogue style" games.
    It would be nice if you can fit any of these in (I understand if you cannot):
    1.) The "game-inside-the-game" does not provide too much help in regards to how you can uncurse your items (until you meet the other player by chance) or in general how to use items and commands properly. While this is mitigated with the wiki, it breaks a bit of immersion. Maybe a newbie room you can visit or a "FAQ list" in the "Princess/Player room" which explains a few of these could be a first step (at least the basic commands, though maybe it can be updated automatically if you learn new commands?).
    2.) Endings right now still seem very place-holderish. I understand that for now they are not considered too important but it would be nice to see how good off you are for winning the game early or how screwed you are if you managed to win, but with barely money left to reverse transformations. Similarly, it would be nice to have a bit more of variety in the "bad ends" (or if you are stuck with a specific cursed outfit see it affect the bad end)
    3.) Similarly, costumes seem to have little impact at the moment. I was kinda hoping that the succubus would act as a dominatrix if you started with the latex slave option and it seems only going for the Princess route has an actual impact (I mean full sets of outfits, I know that heels affect how succubi react to you just like underwear affects other NPCs). It makes it less interesting to actually try and get a full set of clothes, say, bought at the store (full ballerina outfit).
    3.b.) On side note, I kinda feel the game should react to getting you in a slave outfit, like get the guards interested in keeping you restrained (in shackles/fetters) until they get you back to your "master/mistress".
    4.) When I first played the game I kinda expected the rooms to affect the nature of the game a bit more, like the poker room allowing you to bet jewels or clothing items to win. I understand that might be too much, but it is a bit strange that only few rooms allow for interaction with the "sorroundings" (like the statue).

    1. 1) I'm planning to add some in-game hints that have been graffiti'd onto the wall of the royal chambers or something. It'll mention the statue, the altar, etc.

      2) I have sooo much planned for epilogues but I don't have any plans to work on that for release 6. I've got too much other stuff I want to put in!

      3) Being in latex and/or bondage doesn't constitute a class outfit. The maid will have more custom interactions in the hotel level. There will be some new class outfits in release 6.
      b) Maybe in the future I'll make a proper slave class. We'll see.

      4) Yes a lot of rooms are kind of painted onto the walls. This is a side effect of me wanting to give rooms nice descriptions instead of just "oh look another boring room in a dungeon". Maybe in the future some of these rooms will get added functionality that makes them seem a bit less pointless.

    2. Thanks for the reply. As said, I am aware it takes time and is an early release, it's just things I think could be improved but it is just nice that you do this in the first place.

      1.) Looking forward for that. Personally, for a few things I kinda expected an "in-game console/menu" the "player" can launch (not just the "help" section that already exists) but that might be overkill. And well, the grafitti would help populate some rooms.

      2.) Looking forward to when those get implemented. At least I know though I can safely ignore trying finishing the game at different "stages of transformation" for now.

      3.) While I can understand why (for now) it would be nice if you eventually can work it in as a class. By the way, I am not sure if latex prisoner was a donation but it seems a bit weird you can start with latex prisoner but not, say, start with a cursed Princess outfit or other cursed class outfit.
      b.) If you see it feasible. Maybe you have a different that might cover a similar niche ([latex] straitjacket?). It is more the fact that the NPCs don't seem to react too much to your "fashion choices". I am kinda looking forward for example how they react to the chastity cage.

      4.) This is just a suggestion but it would help giving them some life if there were a few more "important NPCs" (like the shopkeeper) that populate a few of those rooms that get always generated regardless of how the dungeon is set up (or stay near them unless they feel the player is "provocating them"). Then again, the grafitti idea (or just having things similar to the statue) might help it.
