Release 6 Version 0.5

A test release is finally here, along with some surprises I hope you'll all enjoy!

Surprise 1:  More coloured text
I recently found a way to get a couple more custom text colours.  I'm still experimenting with what colours the text should actually be, but I'm happy with my decision for now to use the colours to highlight monsters and items.

Surprise 2:  Ass images!
Yes yes you've all been asking for it, and I've been secretly working on this for a while now.  You can now all go and see what you think of my first attempt.  It's been surprisingly difficult to give a sense of ass size with a cropped image, since asses are only really 'large' when compared to the waist and torso of the owner.  But I've tried my best.  Ass images are all of females, and show ass openness and pussy openness.  You can enable ass images for males but this is disabled as default because, well, you don't have a vagina, so the image is lying.  Also you can disable the more gross gaping images that comes with high amounts of ass openness and pussy openness if you want with a separate option.

Surprise 3:  Images on the side!
This is an experimental feature based on the code in Scipio's example of how to create a realistic image.  I haven't done any of that clever overlaying stuff, all I've done is use the stuff on having a graphical window on the side.  I'm calling it an experimental feature because I think lots of people's screens aren't really big enough to support it and have it look nice.  And I'm not sure if everyone's interpreted supports it.  So it's defaulted to 'off' for now.

Anyway, go to the download page to grab the new version.  When you have your bug reports, please check if  they've already been reported then post them here rather than emailing me because I'm expecting there to be lots of common bugs - it's too big a game for me to test on my own in much of a meaningful way any more.

If there are any massive game breaking bugs, I hope they're found quickly because I'm away from my main PC for the weekend and so won't be able to upload a new version until Monday.

Hotfix bug fixes:
  • Couldn't turn gape images off
  • Cow print boots appearing regardless of heels already worn
  • Lactation wasn't actually soaking clothing with milk
  • At max breast size, flesh was replacing milk without forcing it to be lactated
  • Cowbell was attracting monsters, even friendly or sleeping ones, in a silly infinite loop
  • You could faint whilst resting on furniture and get stuck in a weird loop
  • With new milk production stuff, if white is a beneficial drink colour you can do some pretty abusive stuff.  So, now there is a 40% chance that the can produced by the milking bench will be cursed.
  • Mannequin putting scrunchie in hair triggered an error
  • Scrunchies, cow ears in hair prevented hair description when examining self
  • Ass image option displayed "OFF" instead of "ON"

To the people who have emailed me in the last few weeks, I really do apologise and will be going back through my backlog of emails in the coming week, and will attempt to reply to you all.

To finish off, here's a list of things I'm looking for feedback on:
  • Orifice soreness, hair colour, make up decay timings
  • New attacking system balancing issues
  • Humiliation - does it tend to max out even if you're always picking the less humiliating option?
  • Monsters are a bit better at chasing now, is it too difficult to escape?
  • Are there any verbs you tried to use but the actual verb the game understands is something else?

And finally, a quick list of stuff you shouldn't bother trying right now because it's not implemented:
  • Getting pregnant from the vines or tentacle monster
  • The hotel level
  • Preserving virginity
  • New stuff for Barbara
  • Meaningful interaction from characters you've had children with (just slight flavour changes at the moment)

  1. Woo! Exciting update! Looking forward to testing it. Also very much looking forward to the hotel when it's released as well (too early for an ETA on that? :P)

    Thanks again for the update!

  2. Thanks! Can you update the 'current requests' page to remove anything that went into this update so we know what not to look for and test (i.e. anything still on the page would not yet be in the game)?

  3. The new version can't seem to restore old saves. Is this a bug or intentional?

    1. This was never possible in the first place.
      Try loading a R5 v1.0 save in v1.5 for example. It doesn't work.

      It might seem neat to be able to do this, but looking at it in a practical sense is virtually impossible.
      There are too many changes between the versions to make it feasible.
      Besides... This isn't a JRPG where you put 100 hours in one savefile or anything like that.

  4. What does it mean when the demoness channels energy into her necklace and stares at you? Is she healing herself?

    1. She's recharging to attack you again.

  5. Just as info: I'm writing this up while playing so it might go on for a bit and even be a bit disjointed:
    Not sure if this wasn't already the case in previous releases, but if you flee to the royal chambers when a guard chases you he will lose interest, but then immediatly tell you to come over to his room (throne room), meaning that he'll camp there until you come out (or it takes at least as long to make him lose interest as it would normally).
    Short form: I think the guard circumvents the "anti-stalking" function of the royal chambers because he gets another "aggro" immediatly after entering the royal chambers.

    Random note: I thought bra destruction was changed in R6? Yet my AA cup training bra still destroyed the blessed tube top ._. (Or maybe it's because a tube top?)

    I think im taking a break here... don't want to be tired of the game soon after the release.

  6. First off I'd just like to say thanks for putting this out there. It's awesome to see someone tackling making a game with some of these fetishes.

    Though I am a little bit curious, I recently had a cursed ball gag put on me, is there any command to plead with someone to help remove it? Or is there any way to remove it?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Sorry this is a bug, the only way to uncurse right now would be getting lucky at the woods altar. Or defeating the witch if you already have the 'fuck' skill from the shopkeeper.

      Delete
    2. Okie dokey, so I take it there is no plead option or any other non violent way to interact with an NPC while gagged?

      Delete
    3. Another bug is that cow-print boots keep spawning whether you're already wearing footwear or not. Ended up wearing 4 pairs in one game.

      Delete
    4. How do you get the ball gag in the first place? Is it random loot or even based?

      Delete
    5. I got it from sucking on the statue twice in a row.

      Delete
    6. I dont remember how I got the ball gag. But it was with in the first hour of the game.

  7. >You can enable ass images for males but this is disabled as default because, well, you don't have a vagina, so the image is lying.
    Wut

  8. Disabling ass images doesn't seem to do anything for female. When I leave only belly images on the ass images are still showing up as well.

    1. there's a bug on the settings page display ass images there are three options: female only, off (actually on) and off.

  9. hi

    sorry for my noobness but i wonder if there is an interpreter that could show a list of the most used commands, or something like that, for faster interactions

    i'm thinking in something similar to Flexible Survival, where the main actions are hyperlinks

    thanks

    1. With Winglulxe you can use the up arrow key to scroll through previously used commands. That's the best you can get afaik.
      Showing a list of "most used commands" would need to be done by aika. The interpreter shouldn't be capable of compiling such a list without some extra information.

  10. What exactly does the "unlucky" fetish do? Is that the "born cursed" one you were talking about?

    ReplyDelete
  11. It looks like you can't remove a diaper once you put it on unless you use it at least once. It doesn't seem to matter if its cursed or not. Is this a bug? Also, diapers with holes in them can't be removed at all.

    ReplyDelete
  12. On fainting (voluntary and not) the room-setting seems to break sometimes, and freeze the game.
    Only happened in the -b-version so far, but i couldn't find out if its repeatable.

    Great looking so far :-)

    1. Can you please tell us what you are doing when the glitch happens in more detail? I would like to re-crate the glitch.

      Delete
    2. Just used "faint" or got exhausted from soreness in different situations.
      Now once the game didn't even start (I'm assuming the initial setup failed too).

      Delete
    3. Thank you. I will look into it.

  13. Akia I am one of the people who is helping with "Trap Quest" wiki page. I feel there is not enough info on the wiki page right now to be helpful to everyone. Can you please send me a list of all the items that you have in the game so far? Plus all their in game data so I can get to work on updating the wiki page in my free time.

    And last one.
    "V 6.05"
    I like the addition of the wardrobe to the Royal Chambers. It can help players store and sort any useful Item's. Right now I have not put enough time into checking out all of the new items in detail, but so far I am enjoying the updated game. I would like to see different picture's for some of the enemies in the game. Like more pic's for the Wench, Gladiator, and Guards. As they are the ones you see and fight the most, unless you find away to get out side the dungeon.( How do we get out of the dungeon?)

    Thank Your for reading my comment.

    1. You could also find all the items by digging through the code for them, like Aika would have to do.

      Delete
    2. Well... at least for the R5 items one would only need to boot up a game and use "purloin all" and then look at the inventory... Not sure if you included rooms and everything in "items" but thats the easiest way to do it as a "user" right now.

      Delete
  14. Kinda a "bug".
    When wearing a gag you can still drink cans. While not impossible I'd assume it would be hard unless it is a sort "feeding gag" (basically like the dildo tube but stuck as a gag)

  15. Relevant bits:

    >open crate
    You find a pair of pvc 10 inch platform heels inside! How distasteful.
    >i
    a saturated with piss and spunk leather 3 inch platform heels (being worn)
    >l 10 inch platform heels
    I only understood you as far as wanting to look the pvc 10 inch platform heels.
    >l 3 inch platform heels
    I only understood you as far as wanting to look the saturated with piss and jism leather 3 inch platform heels.

    Obviously it's choking on something there. I actually had a worse situation in the previous major release: I managed to pick up two things of the same name.

    My thinking would be to number them if you ever have two overly similar items, but ehh, I have no idea how this stuff works.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. In your case you can just type "l pvc heels" and "l leather heels". The problem is when they are the same type.

      Delete
    2. The last time I tried picking up the very same item twice the game told me that it would be a bad idea to do so.
      In other words: As long as it allows you to pick it up there should be a distinction between them (like leather and pvc)
      Jewelry and lube is exempt from this rule, since the game does start to simply pile them together as "2 rings" (iirc).

  16. The $500k countdown seems to be missing unless I'm stupid.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. On purpose I guess. If you will have high intelligence (or something?)you can find countdown when examining yourself.

      Delete
    2. It can't really be that high, since i put maybe like 3 points in intelligence when starting the game and my character could still remember.
      It's either also dependent on how much time already passed (It's easier to approximate 5 seconds than 5 minutes) Or a character needs to turn rather dumb for them to not remember anymore.
      (just FYI but 3 points in Intelligence doesn't mean you'll start with 3 raw intelligence ingame)

  17. Anyone know the specific trigger for the cursed cowgirl equipment appearing?

    ReplyDelete
  18. "Your alluring extraordinarily wide, twin childbearing hips and humungous bottom (which are hidden inside a bloated and heavy diaper) stick out behind you provocatively."

    However:

    >l diaper
    It has absorbed a smallish amount of urine.

    Also, I have a pacifier that has ejaculated in my mouth several times, but it doesn't seem to give me a need to pee, unlike drinking from a can or cup.

    .. and after trying to double-check the pacifier it got into a loop. It's triggering every round now. I'd be a veritable fountain of cum (and pee) if that worked. ;) I do have a save if necessary.

  19. "A dildo on a pole shoots out of a trap door underneath you and towards your crotch!
    You gasp as the dildo goes straight through your underwear and into your anus! Your saturated with spunk cursed -1 latex plug panties is destroyed.
    Your anus is so sore, that you instantly faint!
    BZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz...
    Press enter to continue."

    This particular time it took forever to continue, much more than the usual slowness (I thought it was hung), despite me hitting entire. I did start to type "undo" first, dunno if that was a factor.

  20. Glad you put this out early for everyone, and I'm liking the additions.

    Though, I think diapers need some tweaking as right now I'm not sure I see what benefit there is to using them. My issues are two-fold:

    1. They seem to have the durability of a thong vs. the dildo pole. For me at least, they've gotten a hole in them every time from them. Now since you can't take them off until they've been used a couple times, this is kind of problematic as your chances of hitting a dildo pole are pretty high and a diaper with a hole is rather detrimental to the player.

    2. They don't have much actual benefit. Finding the toilet or the lake in time before you pee isn't much of a challenge, you're given plenty of warning, and even if for whatever reason you can't reach one, going off into the corner of the dungeon to wee on the floor isn't that much a mark against you.

    My suggestion would be to up the durability of diapers. The fact you can't take them off easily, used ones make you heavier, and the risk of cursed ones should balance it easily, I mean logically, they should be the most durable underwear you can have sans the latex ones.

    Also consider adding a surprise wetting mechanic (unless this is already in and I just didn't experience it), that would cause your character to have a chance to pee under certain conditions. Like when an aggressive enemy spots you your when triggering a pole/crotch hit trap you run the risk of peeing in fear/surprise with the chances increasing for how desperate you are.

    I guess that could imbalance things in the other direction by making them too good, but it would make the "you need to pee" condition a much greater concern.

    Also a minor bug, I was at the lake, and I tried to pee the diaper, but instead just pee'd in the lake, which okay, but... I can't take off the diaper without using it. Hurm.

    Also also, for those wondering another way to be gagged is to ask the guard a second question too soon. (but yeah it's bugged and can't be removed as it should).

    Also also also, great work on this! Seriously awesome stuff.

  21. when look novelty mug it doesn't say what liquid is inside is this a bug?

  22. I can't reload my save for some reason. No idea why

    ReplyDelete
  23. I am enjoying the update, thanks a lot. Two observations:

    1) I gave birth to the minotaur's child and the minotaur took the child and appeared to leave the game. Is this what happened? Did this make it so I can't beat the game?

    2) I noticed that this release included what seems to be the first consensual sexual act i.e. where the other participant will accept no as an answer. Namely deepthroating the shopkeeper.
