Latex hood & latex fetish model

The latex hood will be a relatively unique craftable item in that it will be the only headgear in the game to be wearable by the user on demand. It will curse itself when worn and the inbuilt tube gag prevents talking.

Whilst cursed, it makes you into the latex fetish model, a new class. The benefits that this class gives you are very experimental and I anticipate balance tweaks. But for now they are as follows:

Every cursed item of latex clothing except the hood itself gives +1 strength and +3 dexterity. Every cursed item of bondage (including chastity cage etc.) provides +2 strength.

In this way by using the latex hood in combination with items that traditionally cause large penalties you could actually get quite impressive stats. But since they must be cursed, it commits you to the combat oriented strategy. You can't just remove them after a fight.

Release 6 Version 2.4

Hi, essentially just a bug fix release today I'm afraid!

* Removed debug line that made a pair of trousers spawn next to you at the start of the game.
* All monsters should be able to handle trousers appropriately now.
* Fixed the code for replacing and rezipping - it was preventing you from replacing if you had another item of clothing underneath.
* Trousers now prevent you from wearing underwear over the top.
* Wet nappies T-shirt now allows you to remove ripped diapers
* Trousers can now be sliced by wooden horse
* Small bug with game displaying "heavy things" fixed
* Bug where lube could be applied to a male's vagina fixed
* Bug where non-valuable accessories counted as sapphire jewellery for crafting potion of blessing fixed
* A couple of fan-written lines for cursed underwear added

I'm overwhelmed by the support you guys are showing me on Patreon.  Thank you so much, and who knows, maybe one day it'll go high enough that I can have this as my main job!

Some of you have already noticed the new bug reporting system.  Google forms helpfully collects everything into a spreadsheet for me which makes organizing my bug replication and fixing a lot easier.  It will also hopefully reduce the number of bug reports with no useful information attached.

Anyway, yeah, love you all.  Here's hoping 2015 is our year.

Trousers & Release 6 Version 2.3

Known Bugs:

* I left a debug line in and a pair of trousers will spawn next to you at the start of the game.
* Aeromancer won't attack players wearing trousers
* Chastity cage can prevent replacing / zipping
* Trousers don't prevent you from wearing underwear over the top

Changelist:

* A couple of previous overlooked sections of the code which checked the legacy boolean "in chastity" which caused the bra-type error have now been fixed.
* Latex transformation cure did not work, this is fixed.
* Charles nameset did not appear, this is fixed.
* Wenches were disappearing after stealing clothing, this is fixed.
* Witches were acting weird if you did weird combinations of giving jewellery and giving items to remove latex sex doll curse, this is fixed.
* Minotaur was sometimes struggling to work out how to kill itself (derp), this is fixed.
* T-shirts now only spawn at game start, one shirt in the pink wardrobe with different text depending on gender.
* If diaper lover is enabled, there is a different T-shirt, try it our to discover its effects.
* Trousers - a new clothing type that is now possible due to my recoding of the orifice protection functions.  Cannot be worn with skirts or dresses with skirts, and are often easily ripped at the seams by intelligent foes.  So far there's not much only two, and there will always be at least one available in the shop:
** Yoga pants - which you can't wear underwear underneath
** Jeans - which come with a zip which allows some NPCs easy access.  The verbs "zip" and "unzip" can be used to change the item's state.


A few questions I've been asked repeatedly:

How is the crowdsourcing going?
Slowly and I haven't added any to the game yet.  In fact I have a few people who I need to email back!

Have you started work on male ass images yet?
No but I've recieved a few through croudsourcing.

Where did the load button go?
It was glitching for some reason so I removed it for now.  Instead, use quick start and then type "restore".

Release 6 Version 2.2

Thanks for all the bug reports.  I've fixed the major ones.

Changelist:

* Issues with corset and bra fixed
* Issues with throne and fairy and looping expulsions fixed
* Issues with minotaur and resting on furniture fixed
* Milking bench was still sometimes spitting out cursed cans - cans should no longer ever be cursed
* Metal is no longer coded as a bra keyword so metal bras were being generated with a double keyword, e.g. metal training bra.  They are now called chastity bras.
* It is now slightly more likely that you'll orgasm during sex when not horny.
* The chance of an alchemy product being cursed has been significantly reduced and can now only happen from the ingredients used being cursed, not from low intelligence.  With a cursed ingredient, curse chance is 1 in 5.  There is always a 1 in 10 chance of a created item being cursed; that chance cannot be reduced to 0.  NB. a cursed liquid does not count as cursed, it's the BUC of the vessel that matters.
* Blouses were not flagged as a low humiliation item, this is fixed.
* Added some bespoke error messages when the player types something that doesn't make sense to the interpreter, that vary with bimbo level.

Release 6 Version 2.1

Edit: Game breaking bug with throne and asking fairy for drink. Don't do either in this release, will upload a fixed version tonight.

I hope you all appreciate how hard I've worked in the last 24 hours!  Don't expect this kind of turnaround too often.  Obviously a lot of this stuff is untested though.

Changelist:

* Warrior chestpiece is now an overdress, hopefully this will fix all the weird bugs it was having with the bras.
* Latex prisoner plug panties fixed - these were being put as "worn" but not as inside orifices which caused problems.
* Latex plug panties were rippable, this is fixed.
* Chastity cage fixed - it doesn't stop itself being removed.
* Minoatur fixed (for realsies this time).
* Diaper can now be removed at all times if not bursting to pee and not incontinent.  However re-wearing a used diaper is incredibly humiliating, so only take it off when you're done with it permanently.
* Tartan tube top was not spawning properly, this is fixed.
* All warrior items will now fall off you properly when you lose your virginity.
* Air volume of hips was not decaying and was not resetting on fainting, this is fixed.
* Bras found in chests will obey max breast size settings.
* Normal ballet shoe was not appearing properly.
* Reworked clothing material to be a property of all clothing rather than subsets for different types of clothing, in order to prevent variable name clashes and make an upcoming latex class more straightforward to implement.
* Latex corset no longer appears with encased in latex.
* Added a few more possible things to the character title.
* Whip of domination can no longer appear in the shop.

Working as intended:

* Latex corset cannot have overdress worn with it.
* Tube top cannot be worn on top of a bra.
* A few other similar items that I added the "exclusive" flag to in Version 2.0 but forgot to mention.

Release 6 Version 2.0

Hi Guys,

This is a pretty big update as I completely rewrote the clothing layer code (new clothing appearing & monsters / traps trying to penetrate you) to be more function based and then went through all the code replacing the current stuff with the calls to the new functions.  So hopefully we'll see a lot less bugs, particularly with the milking harness and other such items.  In any case, I'm moving the version number of the release up to version 2.

Full changelist is as follows:

* Minotaur no longer blocks the player when caged, thanks to all the 50 people who reported this ¬_¬
* Warrior virgin was broken, and now it has been fixed.
* Lactation reworked, you can now lactate even if your breasts aren't full, but the more flesh there is the less often this will happen.
* Sex doll transformation curse - see previous blog post.
* Sex dolls are slightly tougher, and last significantly longer if you didn't fight them at all before they get you on your knees.
* You start to get horny much earlier in the sex addiction tree, after just a couple of orgasms.
* Locally saved game settings!  I'm experimenting with writing to file (which I only just realised I could do, derp), and this is my first attempt at this.  Settings changed on the first screen will stay that way in between games.
* Tongue piercings - a new item which appears about 20% of the time you successfully use the deepthroat skill to prevent puking up semen.  When cursed you can't speak, and when not blessed cause you to periodically become thirsty. 
* All piercings add 1 strength each regardless of BUC.
* Titfuck skill, see previous blog post.
* Milking harness will no longer appear if royal circlet is worn.
* After you are the royal slave, anklecuffs can keep appearing - this chance of course goes down if the headgear is uncursed and further if blessed.
* When a royal slave wearing anklecuffs, your lactation rate will periodically increase.  Again higher frequency depending on how cursed the headgear is.
* Slight number changes to make the altar less likely to turn your headgear into a runic headband.
* All headgear now has higher chance of summoning items when cursed and lower when blessed; previously it was a bit all over the place.
* Summoned cursed clothing isn't revealed as cursed until you try to remove it.
* As mentioned above, massive redo of code of clothing appearing, it should be much rarer to have clothing glitches now and they should always remember their layering properly.

Titfuck

The skill you get from the gladiator is no longer playing with your own breasts but the technique of performing a titwank. Successfully learning this skill requires a combination of intelligence and humiliation. You can offer a boob job to an unfriendly human male (so currently shopkeeper or guard) by using the "present" verb on your breasts.  The chance of successfully convincing them depends on the size of your breasts and the difficulty rating of the enemy.

A titty wank is currently preferable to other sex because it only lasts one round and has no further negative consequences except a bit of salty goodness splashed across your hooters. However the act of presenting your breasts of course humiliates you further.

There will most likely be a bit of added depth to this option in the future.

Latex Sex Doll Transformation Curse

Walled behind the inflation fetish, there is a curse you can receive from the aeromancer if she attacks you whilst you are being fucked by a sex doll.  Once inflicted by the curse, you will slowly turn into a living latex sex doll yourself.  There are 8 stages of the curse:

1: The curse has just begun, and it at work transforming your body!
2: Your weight slightly decreases and your maximum weight is changed to quite a low number.
3: Your orifices lose all their tightness and permanently gape; openness fixed at the maximum of 10.
4: Your orifices (or orifice and penis) go completely numb; you no longer gain orifice soreness but are also unable to feel pleasure or orgasm.  If able to get horny, this means you can be permanently horny with no way to satisfy yourself.
5: You no longer need to (or are able to) drink or pee.
6: Your body is permanently very lightweight which means you can stand for a long time but your attacks are very weak.   You no longer are affected by body soreness, but you can't just go provoking monsters who would otherwise not attack you because they will smack you to the ground and damage your latex body's integrity, and too much of this causes a puncture and instant fainting.  You no longer can have milk in your breasts.
7: You are no longer able to speak, and your "makeup" is permanently at maximum.
8: You lose your fingers, and are only able to carry one item at a time.  This makes several actions unavailable, including wearing and removing clothing and sex toys, searching, alchemy and so on.

The witch, as long as you've not made her hate you by messing with her, can help you remove the curse.  At the moment the quest to remove the curse isn't too challenging but this may change in the future.

A full on sex doll clearly has a completely different experience of the game than a human - they suffer very little in the way of penalties as long as they don't anger the otherwise friendly NPCs, but they will have a lot of trouble doing anything other than submitting to any monster that does want to use them, which could add up to a lot of wasted time.  Being a sex doll might allow you to explore the world without fear of fainting and since you can still open containers you could theoretically go around opening everything before going and changing back into a human and worrying a lot less about traps.  However in the future the time limit of the game will be a much more pressing consideration which should make this an interesting but not particularly optimal tactic.

Next release should be out some time on Monday.

Crowdsourcing Images and Flavour Text

I'm sure most of you will have noticed that in general the descriptions of events in trap quest are brief and to the point. This is a mixture of me not wanting to dedicate too much time to event depth when I could be increasing the variety, and also because I'm not very good at it. Thus if any fans would like to have a go at writing better versions of some of their favourite (or least favourite) scenes then I would by all means consider replacing the current text in the game and give you credit on the blog and in the credits in the help menu.  Anything you want to send me should be sent to aika092@gmail.com.

"Scenes" should in general be only 1 - 4 short paragraphs at most (this is a roguelike after all) but further depth can be attained by having varied text of what happens or how the player feels about the situation depending on whether the player is a bimbo yet or a hundred other tracked variables.

In my own opinion the scenes in most desperate need of more variety and quality are:

• All the different birth scenes
• Masturbation
• Ongoing sex messages, currently limited to things like "The (NPC) is still fucking your (orifice)!"

On a similar vein, there are some images that lots of people agree are in need of changing and if anyone has any superior images they should send them to me.  Feel free to send me any and all suggestions but most notably:

Male player starting face.  Needs to be:

• Not quite as feminine as bailey jay but
• Still relatively androgynous
• Caucasian
• Black hair
• Preferably stereotypically attractive
• Bonus points for also being able to provide a version with some light feminine makeup

Or since I'm a huge nerd if anyone can photoshop this image of a merge of the three leading characters from Harry Potter to have fully black hair and the extra bits removed I'd love to use it:

http://i.imgur.com/4ahmcu1.jpg

Images of extremely massive breasts and bellies that look better than the current ones:

• Caucasian
• As few scars, stretch marks and other blemishes as possible
• Bonus points for no clothing visible

Royal Guard:

• Lots of flexibility here, just as realistic and manly as possible

And finally, male ass images of all sizes:

• Caucasian
• Rear view
• Asshole visible
• Penis visible
• As little ass hair, leg hair and ball hair as possible in that priority order
• No clothing visible

The more of this stuff I get from you guys the less time I spend finding them myself and the more time I spend actually coding! :)

It may also interest you to know that I have a couple of lovely volunteers hard at work at trying to get a drawn player image that changes over time, and some drawn NPCs.  I'll let you know how they get on when they tell me!
