Insertables

I've now created the code framework for handling insertables such as dildos and butt plugs. Depending on the orifice type (asshole or vagina), the openness and the type of insertable, it has a chance of falling out each turn if there's no underwear keeping it in. Cursed insertables cannot be simply removed and will not just fall out.

If not in combat, you can insert these things yourself. Kicking and kneeing also has a decent chance of forcing the insertable out. As with everything else that can be inside you, while it's there soreness doesn't decay. Soreness and openness may slowly increase depending on the size of the object.

Queen of Hearts Heels

These legendary heels are created from any normal stiletto heeled heels, a black liquid and a pack of playing cards. The pack of playing cards is obtainable once from the poker room. This means you can only ever create these heels once.

The heels get critical hits twice as often as normal heels if not cursed. They also allow you to strut even if you haven't learned the skill. However, whilst wearing them you do not gain heel experience from just walking around. You still get experience from kneeing and kicking monsters.

The heels are created at a height which makes them challenging to walk in. Therefore you may have to continue to wear your other heels for a while until you gain another couple of levels in heel skill.  Or with a bit of luck, maybe you have some potions of balance stocked up.

Spike Bra

Some of you may have previously obtained this from the vine boss. From now on you'll instead be able to get it through crafting. Crafting this requires a bra, a blue liquid and either two medium eggs or a stiletto heel depending on fetish selections.

The spike bra is the 2nd best bra in terms of the support it provides, after exercise bras. It also damages some enemies when they attack you, specifically those that slap or punch you in the breasts. Sex dolls pop immediately.

The bra will be created one size larger than your current breast size.

Whip of Domination

The Whip of Domination is crafted from a severed vine (only one available, dropped by the vine boss) and a potion of virility. It is equip-able / wieldable which works just like clothing. If it is cursed you will not be able to remove it from your hand.

The whip modifies your slap damage based on its BUC and magic modifier. It also gives a damage bonus / reduction based on your submissive sex addiction, the more dominant you are the higher the bonus, the more submissive you are the more the reduction. The whip also gives a bit of bonus damage if you are currently very horny (but being horny lowers dexterity so this might not be desirable overall in some fights).

Wielding the whip makes you able to become horny even if your sex addiction is currently low. Attacking with the whip will arouse you if you are not yet fully horny. You cannot perform a normal slapping attack whilst wielding the whip and damage modifiers such as the reduction from having very large breasts will still apply.

Killing a monster with the whip lowers sex addiction and humiliation.

Tincture of strength

Spoiler warning: you may find it more fun to discover / try and work out what alchemy items do as and when you craft them. I know I would. If so I suggest not reading the blog posts for the next couple of weeks.

Tinctures are small vials full of a powerful concoction that will give you a massive bonus for 10-15 turns.

The tincture of strength is created from a potion of might and a mechanical joint (a new mannequin drop). Whilst active it gives you a massive superhuman strength boost (boss battle anyone?), but when the time runs out, all that extra strength turns into body size increase & weight gain. The cursed version reduces the duration of the strength gain to just a couple of rounds. The blessed version lasts a few rounds longer.

Some experimental gameplay changes

The annoyingly small amount of time I've had to work on TQ this week has been spent on trying to balance the existing mechanics a bit. Lots of numbers have been tweaked. The most notable changes are as follows:

• Standing upright without heels halves the amount of fatigue you gain.
• You can no longer put on any clothing whilst in combat (an unfriendly monster being in your location)
• Chances of falling over when kneeing and kicking slightly reduced
• Amount of fatigue added by kicking massively reduced
• The chance of asking the skill learning question at low intelligence ranks has been increased
• The chance of orgasming during sex has been significantly increased when horny
• The previous attacking code rolled a random number based on your strength to decide what sized dice to roll, which was way too random. Now there's only one stage of dice rolling which makes your damage a bit less wildly variable.

Some new clothing types

Skirts are a new clothing type that can be worn in combination with anything else in the game, except some overdresses (the ones which go below the crotch themselves) and other skirts.  They obviously come in varying levels of slutty, and have the following impacts on gameplay:

• Certain overdresses will be unable to spawn on you whilst you are wearing a skirt.
• Skirts can appear with the "confidence", "endurance" and "temptation" magic enhancements.
• Skirts can also have the new "dressup" enhancement.

Any cursed corsets, overdresses or skirts without a magical enhancement may, at some point whilst you're wearing them, turn out to be a "[clothing] of dressup".  You'll discover this the first time they trigger their effect: the cursed item of clothing will spawn other, thoroughly useless items of clothing on you, for example cursed crotchless panties, cursed cupless bras, and so on.

Furthermore we now have stockings, these thigh high sock like garments will normally not do much, except make you slightly more able to deal with the demoness when not wearing heels.  But when cursed, blessed or with a magic modifier, they will affect how well you can walk and kick, this includes any struggles you face walking in tall heels, or with anklecuffs, or with a bloated diaper, and so on.

The other new type of clothing is a type of overdress, the evening dress.  These items will be pretty rare and will have an interesting combination of positives and negatives.  They will tend to be extremely provocative, with most variations completely exposing the chest, so expect to be a bit humiliated when wearing them.  Furthermore they will come with extremely tight, ankle length hobble skirts, which will impair your ability to knee, kick, walk in heels, and escape from monsters.  However, the nature of the hobble skirts means that most monsters (those without prehensile appendages) will be unable to reach your crotch, and will have to find other, generally lesser ways to abuse you.  Don't get too cocky though, since every now and then you might run into a monster who has the ability to just completely destroy your evening dress.

Progress

So I've done the stuff on attacking that I wanted to.  Not sure it's balanced, but it's there and it certainly makes underwear more valuable.

You now choose between slap, knee and kick.  Slap does less damage and can be further hampered by wrist bondage or large breasts.  Knee does moderate damage but comes with a risk of falling over when wearing high heels: kneeing is slightly more difficult than walking.  Kick does high damage but comes with an even greater risk of falling over, and also increases fatigue, so don't use it too much if already at risk of your knees buckling.

This change should not only allow for a bit of interesting decision making when fighting, but make underwear invaluable against monsters that want to fuck you, since you will have at least one turn, and probably more, to stand back up when you fall over but haven't actually lost the fight yet.

I just want to polish up a few other things and then I'll upload something for y'all that are interested.
