Release 6 Version 2.7 Changelist

* Fully functioning new region with 4 new NPCs, 5 new traps, tattoo parlor and piercing studio.
* Fully graphical interface with arrow keys for movement and intuitive keyboard shortcuts
* Happy April Fools Day... please don't hurt me.
* Barbiestyle was being displayed as a vagina.
* Fixed runtime error when questioning the witch.
* Fixed shopkeeper not understanding the player asking for a drink.
* Fixed runtime error when orgasming.
* Made the chance of the mannequin placing the pink hat a bit more random, but it's still based on your breasts being small compared to your bimbo level.
* Stationary monsters like the shopkeeper and witch no longer follow you around when friendly.
* Minor typo fixes.
* Wearing newer headgear items no longer disables hair description in "x me".
* Greeting intelligent NPCs forces them to become interested.
* Latex items can no longer be used for cleaning purposes.
* Boobs can now successfully grow to GG when extreme proportions fetish is disabled.
* Using "undo" will now force a redraw of all live images.  This may mean each undo takes ages, so this might end up pissing people off more than it helps images be correct.  Please do give feedback.

Hotfix - Release 6 Version 2.6b Changelist

* Royal Guard flavour text no longer leaking to other monsters and I have no idea why.  I literally just tried changing things for a few hours and eventually it stopped doing this super weird glitch.  Huh.
* Hair length no longer causing error message every turn at length 3 and up
* Intelligent monsters were not properly getting delayed for a turn upon the player performing a submissive action
* Kneeing and kicking and falling over should no longer be considered a submissive move by monsters
* Minotaur can properly react to tentacle monster.
* Tentacle monster can properly become unfriendly again

Thanks for your patience guys and apologies for the buggy release.

Keep up the bug reports, I'm sure there's several more.

Release 6 Version 2.6 Changelist

EDIT: Royal guard flavour upon kneeling seems to be leaking into other monsters.  Will try and fix this tomorrow if I can work out how the hell it's happening.  But I definitely need sleep now, sorry.

* The way monsters are coded has been massively improved, but I expect several bug reports!
** Showme output for monsters will look a lot less ugly
** It's structured in such a way that one day (a long way in the future) when the code is open source it will be possible for fans to create their own monsters
** Monster adjectives now should never glitch
* Shopkeeper actually had 3 possible adjectives but game was only ever choosing the first one
* Speaking to non-intelligent monsters no longer aggros them.
* Tentacle monster available for birthing!
* Character window will only refresh if it has to, which should speed up gameplay
* Humiliation levels assigned to all items of clothing have been massively improved to make more sense and be more balanced from a gameplay perspective.
* For donators - drawn character window now has belly and penis, and a properly female hairdo once your hair grows a few times.
* MG has added even more flavour text, again mostly for the royal guard but also some lines when you open the pink wardrobe for the first time, and a couple of other small things as well.  Give him lots of kind words so that he keeps up the amazing work!
* Pump plug panties are in the game now, even though they're really rare to encounter.  If you are really desperate to play around with them, type "purloin pump plug panties".

Pump plug pants & plans moving forward

This variation of the latex plug pants will only ever have an anal plug.  If inflation fetish is enabled, the plug will blow air up inside you whenever you change from standing to kneeling, whether on purpose or because the game made you.  In this way, the item could be used to control your weight relatively accurately, but if it is cursed and you're not doing extremely well in the game, you're probably going to need to get rid of that curse relatively rapidly before you go pop.  Moreover, they will always be cursed when you first encounter one.

I only have a few more donators requests to get through of things that aren't planned for the Hotel.  After that is done in a few weeks, I will be prioritizing getting the hotel to a point where it can be enabled, even if it's pretty empty.

As I'm doing all this, I am also slowly reworking the code to make it more modular and function-based.  This will make it more feasible one day in the future to migrate the code to a superior coding platform, and maybe even one day make the code open source in a way that allows people to create their own traps, monsters, clothing and so on, without needing to touch the main code - and then players can pick and choose from their favorite non-official plugins.  That is the dream, but it's a long way in the future.

Due to the plans to have a fully functional drawn character window, real images of male asses etc. have massively dropped in priority.  In fact due to potential copyright issues I might end up removing the current image set altogether, we'll see.  The character window is coming along well; penises are done and there should be bellies done soon.

As for this blog, we will shortly be migrating over to a new private website I'm setting up.  I've commissioned a drawn banner which may upset a few of you who were hoping for something non-NSFW, but will hopefully be generally received as pretty damn cool.  The blog will be running Ghost, so will have an RSS feed, Disqus for comments and a fancy navigation bar.

In the long term I plan to have the game's wiki and the game's bug tracking system privately hosted as well.

Another Patreon Milestone and some more Fan Art!

Holy gaping buttholes, I can't believe the influx of pledges I've had over the last 48 hours thanks to the publicity from Danaume's art pages.  We've blasted straight through the 600 target and are now at 800.  So I will be looking into which private server hosting solution to go with.

In other news, here is some more fan art from "Anymouse-68".  His style is quite different - you definitely have to be into "extreme proportions" to appreciate the tits and assess on these girls!  I personally love them, but I'll let you guys judge for yourselves!  My personal favorite is the maid, I love how exhausted she looks after trying to walk around with that voluptuous body in those heels.

Patreon Milestone and Banner decision made

The 3rd milestone of 25 hours per week has been reached!  To copy what I said on my Patreon page:

Holy crap guys, I can't believe how much support you all have shown since the art announcement.  I'm glad to see that you all love Danaume's drawings as much as I do.  I sincerely hope I can live up to expectations and make you all happy!

As for the banner, I've taken all your feedback and decided that the banner will be an extremely lewd B that is almost but not quite C.  I will look into implmenting a button that saves a cookie that disables the image but I'm not sure how easy or difficult that will be to implement, I'll have to find out!

Trap Quest Release 6 Version 2.5 and other news

Hi all!

Lots of fan-created content in this release.

The room descriptions in the dungeon have been revamped to be more verbose by "Nicole Redwood".  They are awesome but might take up a lot of space depending on the size of your monitor.  You can type 'brief' to prevent them from repeatedly coming up.

The royal guard's sex interactions (most noticeably anal) have had a lot of awesome work done on them by "MG".  Hopefully the outstanding quantity of varying text here will keep you guys entertained for several "sessions" with the guards in your future games.  I'm desperately hoping that MG will keep writing scenes for the guard and other NPCs as he is an amazing writer.

Donators will be able to change the "Player image on side" to "Drawn" see the progress on the set of drawn character images by "Danaume".  Currently the character window varies in make up, penis size and breast sizes from flat to F cup.

Here is a teaser for everyone else:



I've added a stretch goal to the Patreon, if the support for the game gets large enough then I will make sure that at least 10% of the money each month gets invested in drawn art for the game - that is, I will be paying Danaume 10% of the Patreon income each month for her work (she estimated that if she was to charge for the entire project we have planned it would likely come to over $2000), and most likely spending further funds commissioning other artwork.

The code changes are as follows:

* Cleaning in body of water no longer empties pussy if it's plugged.
* Weight loss was not reducing "slightly chubby" level of fatness, this is fixed.
* Latex plug panties triggered an error when removed, this is fixed.
* Exclusive items will now explain that they are such in their description, this is fixed.
* Yoga pants were humiliating when they weren't supposed to be, this is fixed.
* Removing chastity cage checked all clothing, not just stuff that was worn!  This is fixed.
* Stockings and skirts could not be dressup, which was something they were intended to sometimes be, this is fixed.
* Game did not prevent you wearing multiple skirts on top of each other, this is fixed.
* Posture training items now only increase ass size, not breast size.
* Drinks - drinking a cursed liquid with a blessed vessel was supposed to come with a decent chance of the blessing disappearing.  This was not actually working properly but is now.

Working as intended:

* Can't wear bikini top with any other top layer clothing.

In other news, the website is getting there.  I'm hesitant to launch it before I have found / paid for a decent background art for the site.  Here's a question for you fans - how much do you like the fact that there are rarely any NSFW images on this blog?  If you could choose between a) a completely SFW banner, b) a lewd but not XXX banner or c) an extremely explicit banner for the game, which would you go for?

And yet another new bug tracking solution

As part of the web stuff refresh, I've been looking out for a superior bug tracking solution which lets everyone see all the current issues.

I've now decided on one, so unless I get kicked for being NSFW the new bug tracking page will be at https://www.hostedredmine.com/projects/trap-quest.

The hosted bug tracking service is free and has no limit on users which is great.  The only downside is that you have to create an account to submit issues, but hopefully if the bug is important enough, people will make an account.

Creating a Website

Hi guys

A few days back Google announced that they would be deleting all NSFW blogs from blogger in a month so I set to work creating my own website, which is why there's no content updates.

I've now learned that Google have reverted their policy back to being NSFW friendly but since the site is party to completion I feel compelled to get it up and running so that I haven't wasted lots of time :P

Sorry for the delay and normal progress will resume shortly.
