So yeah, the new website is ready! See you on the other side.

Moving Forward

Hi all

Sorry for anyone who was truly gutted by my silly April Fools thing yesterday!  The silver lining is that is what is planned for the medium term development of the game, so one day that will all be true!

I didn't get as much development done last week on the game as I'd like because some bugs took ages to fix, and also because I'm working on getting the new website up and running which should be very soon.

Next week may end up not having a new version, again due to website development work I'm doing and also because it's Easter Weekend.

Finally, thanks so much to all my donators for supporting the game, it means so much to me.  Thanks to all my other fans as well for your continued kind words and love.  I've received fanmail from all over the world, everywhere from China to Russia.  Even if our nations differ in politics and culture, at least we can all unite under a mutual love of everything filthy.  I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and normal service will resume shortly.

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.

Tentacle Monster

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

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.

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.

Aika

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.
