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?

  1. the tasteful nature of the blog layout is good for when you want to make a quick check to see if there is a new release, but some more artwork would be a refreshing change.

  2. On one hand, I enjoy not needing to be paranoid about onlookers when viewing this site, on the other hand, some NSFW pics can set the mood pretty well.
    Besides, if an onlooker really stares, he/she would read the headlines anyway.

    So... I'm fine with NSFW pics. =^-^=

  3. Take that other anon, I told you there was a possibility of excess patreon money going into hiring artists. Teaser art isn't very refined, but it's livable if it means I can go for the big tits without worrying "Damn those veins are horrifying." Also it will answer important life questions like, "What the fuck is kardashian-sized?" and "What is the appropriate breast-to-ass ratio relative to giant wobbling butts?"

    Albeit it's all possibility. I realize how entirely pointless my petty anonymous argument is to even mention. Internets!

  4. Lewd but not explicit. Sure it's a porn game, but we don't have to smack everyone with the fact that it has adult content. A light slap will do.

  5. Feels like the middle option would be the best for images.

  6. You won all of the internets.

  7. I like it kind of sparse like this, personally. Not because of anyone looking over my shoulder or anything; I just like things streamlined and straight to the point. When graphics are particularly relevant like today's post, of course, have at it.

    1. 100% agreed. Pages are also lighter and load faster.

  8. I would vote for the moderate B choice ^.^

  9. I'd say anything but a). If I browse this in public and somebody's really interested in what I do, a quick google search of Trap Quest is going to bring this up anyway, whether there are NSFW images on here or not. The guy will be horrified either way. So it won't hurt to put some sexy images here and there if they're well-placed, it's a sexy game after all~ Great progress on the art and writing!

  10. i think option b would be a good choice

  11. You probably want a lewd banner. "B" is something you can show to other people and give them an idea that the game is pornographic without actually showing them porn. A straight-up explicit one is going to affect what type of ads you can put on your site, and also how the webhost will treat your site if it ever happens to get reported. (I'm not sure if you'll end up using a site like blogspot, but I doubt you will, since you'd need to buy and operate your own servers.)

    To be completely safe, I'd try to tiptoe around anything outright explicit in text and in pictures. It obviously isn't feasible to do that for text, since you need to be clear about what's happening in the game, but as for pictures, its definitely realistic to keep them "M-rated" rather than "A-rated."

  12. C) An extremely explicit banner.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'd say A or B. I just think that C would be bad from a graphics design perspective.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Agreed on A or B

    Quick question,
    "Stockings and skirts could not be dressup, which was something they were intended to sometimes be, this is fixed."

    What does this mean? (dressup?)

    1. It's a magical attribute.
      While you wear [clothing] of dressup, cursed clothing will randomly spawn on your character. It can only spawn clothing if you're not already wearing something in the corresponding slot.

      As such, this can be very bad if you only have little to wear and literally unnoticeable if you're already fully "geared".

  15. The banner is irrelevant, put an elephant playing checkers with a mouse on it.

    It's the info that makes this blog a place to visit.

    Glad to see the Patreon is starting to move.

  16. I'd rather have an A or B banner as I visit this site during the day with my bedroom door open. Something not too much NSFW. As for getting Danaume: I fucking LOVE her art! So glad you two are doing something together. :D!

  17. "Posture training items now only increase ass size, not breast size."

    Awww yeah some balance (excuse the pun)

    But a quick question will the Drawn option be the only option in the future or will it be up to the player?

    Also B

    1. I'm not sure about the answer to that question yet. On one hand I know some people are always going to want to photos and prefer them. On the other hand the more this becomes a way for me to make a living the more concerned I am about potential copyright issues.

      Delete
    2. That is a fair point

      Have you thought about eventualy letting people mod the game? That way if people wanted real life picture they could use a community mod for it while your "vanilla" game would be free of any copyrighted material

      Delete
    3. Maybe at some point in the future. Right now, I must admit that one of the main reasons the game isn't open source is because then there would be no way to provide an in-game incentive for donating and so by extension I risk upsetting my existing pledgers who are as far as they are concerned paying for a privilege that isn't coming to the public any time soon.

    4. Your current stance on using pictures posted on no-copyright sites feels acceptable to me; worst case, you'll receive a C&D for a specific picture and have to remove it from further builds, but that's it.

  18. Just went to check out the Patreon page and was ticked to see my old pink-haired maid on the left. :-)

    I've gotten so much better since then...

    1. You're always welcome to make more fan-art <3

    2. I've done a bunch, actually ;)

      Post to the forum, or will there be a fan-art page/

      Delete
    3. I have no plans to make a fan-art page right now so either post to the forum or email me at aika092@gmail.com and I'll likely put them in a blog post :)

  19. Thanks for another great update. As for the banner, i'd prefer lewd but not explicit.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Is there currently any way to revert the 'brief' command?

    ReplyDelete
  21. I think that Fenoxo has a good idea with his site. Mostly text with some pinups and a little porn, but not much.

    As an aside are requests/donations still closed?

    1. Go to "Content Requests", the page is there for a reason.

  22. I'd go with option B for the blog, in case you want to check about an update and aren't at home or whatever. Something lewd and kinda sexy without being outright NSFW strikes the right balance.

  23. You should add a fetish where your orifice openness is always maxed out.

  24. I would always miss some changes to my character before but now with the drawn pics I have no trouble catching the small changes I used to miss
