New Bugfix Release

I've uploaded a new version of the release 6 v 0.5, which fixes some bugs and I think might have fixed the fainting crash bug.  I removed the code that sets up the hotel level and I haven't been able to replicate the crashing bug since.  Obviously I'm going to at some point have to work out why that code sometimes crashes (pretty weird since it's essentially just a copy paste of the code for the other levels) but that's a job for another day.

Bugs I think I've fixed:

• Fainting crash!
• Cum staining crotchless underwear instead of going through it
• Map incorrect behaviour on changing levels, getting dragged, maps disabled in settings
• Dolls, tentacle monster were sometimes ignoring gags
• Plug panties were wearable over female chastity belt
• Cowgirl bikini constantly breaking then respawning at high breast sizes
• Minotaur appeared locked in cage after pregnancy scene
• Latex plug panties from shopkeeper didn't add orifice openness on insertion
• Examining self in capsule before pressing button was showing side images
• "Soft ground" traps that were in the woods in previous iterations were appearing in the dungeon retaining their old trigger method
• Typos!

Bugs I've confirmed but have yet to fix:

• In some situations you can infinitely play with your breasts (when unable to otherwise masturbate)
• Cowbell seems to love causing crazy shit to happen
• Pregnancy not complete for all monsters

Bugs reported that I have yet to replicate:

• Diapers appearing when watersports is turned off
• I assume there are more that I've missed out on adding to my TODO list, please report them again!

Right I'm off to bed now, and then tomorrow I'm hoping to get through the huge backlog of emails I need to respond to and update the requests list!  And then I'm back onto coding the requests I've promised you lovely donators.

Fuck yes dissertation over

Just handed in my final piece of coursework ever, hooray! Giving myself a few days off then I will be back on it. There will be a bit of a slowdown in a month for a few weeks for my finals but it's all downhill from here! <3

So where I'm at with stuff

I'm ludicrously busy at the moment and unfortunately there's unlikely to be much time for working on trap quest for the rest of March and most of April. I hope to soon release another bugfix version for the current release I've made but I'm afraid you may have to wait a while for a release with much new content. Sorry guys!

I'd also like to point out that if you donate and ask a question but don't leave contact details in the accompanying message or email me separately I have no way of contacting you!

EDIT: I have been trying as much as possible to not give out details of my personal life but you guys and gals deserve an explanation.  Over the last summer when I started asking for donations, that was because I needed to fund my final year of university (Computer Science) and was going to have to find full time work otherwise and have little time for coding.  In the end I was able to get by and save some with part time work which gave me more time to work on the game.

In my final year, I've been busy but have still been finding time to work on the game.  Also the continued donations (generally small but they add up, thanks guys!) have prevented me from having to work part time in order to pay the bills during my studies.  There was a drop in productivity for a few weeks around my January exams, but hopefully you'll be pleased to hear they went well.  I now have a month to complete my dissertation which counts towards over 20% of my overall qualification and then a few weeks for final exams, then I'll be done with academia forever.  Assuming everything doesn't go tits up, I've got excellent grades from one of the top universities in the UK, and will in all likelihood walk into a comfy graduate role in the technology industry within a few months, and meanwhile will be living with family.

So yes there are not going to be many updates for a little while now while I secure my future, but after that it's unlikely that I'll ever have "busy periods" quite like this, and also it's highly unlikely that I'll be relying on your donations to live!

V0.5C: More bugs fixed and a new experimental addon

So I'll start with the coolest news, I'm experimenting with writing images to the other side of the screen as well to make a sort of map.  I just grabbed a random dungeon tileset from online and I think it looks pretty nice.  I'm less interested in quality of life issues at the moment (QQ I can't see the tiny icons, QQ why does the woods look like a dungeon, QQ wtf is this shitty smiley face icon) and more interested if it works, if it noticeably slows down the engine, and if it's accurate.  Use the old 'map' command to get the map to fully redraw itself if it glitches.

The main bug that I haven't been able to reproduce is this occasional game freeze on fainting / starting the game.  So in the future when reporting this bug please note your operating system and the interpreter you're using, just in case we can spot a pattern.

And now for the long list of bug fixes:

• Thirst degraded every turn when the player ran out of prize money
• Couldn't uncurse cowbell on dungeon altar
• If cowbell was already in universe, game would bug if it tried to spawn another
• If all diapers were already in universe, game would bug if it tried to spawn another
• Immediate lactation due to max breast size claimed that breasts were full of milk when in fact they could be empty
• Chastity belt caused an error when peeing instead of being ignored (this definitely needs extensive testing though)
• A dildo trap making you orgasm upon entry could cause the game to think you were on your knees, making it impossible to jump
• Pigtail scrunchies appeared in inventory as 'Two Headgears'
• Nightmare mode button turned 'unlucky' off instead of on
• Chastity belt had weird glitchy interaction with throne trap instead of being ignored (this also needs extensive testing though)
• Player might refuse to remove a diaper even when it was torn if it wasn't used enough (not a glitch, more a balance change)
• The doll that impregnated you respawning caused the birth scene to glitch
• Displaced panties were still contributing to ass cheek defence score, creating impenetrable orifices (this also needs extensive testing)
• Corset of confidence humiliating the player (doesn't really make sense, I agree)
• Cowbell and witch would cause fairies to attack in a stupid loop
• Reduced the rate at which hair colour and make up decay (another balance change)
• Examining self before pushing the button was super glitchy
• Player could still knee and kick when heels were stuck to floor
• Player didn't stop being pregnant after sex doll birth (I don't think you guys even realised this was unintentional!)
• Removed the 'press enter to continue' after fainting as it was making lots of people's games glitch if they accidentally pressed something that wasn't enter
• A few typos (keep the typo reports coming, thanks!)
• Added Numbered Disambiguation Choices extension (thanks for the recommendation)
• Changed experimental stuff to default to ON in settings

Confirmed bugs I'm still working on fixing:

• Vines ignore chastity cage
• Chastity cage stops you displacing your own underwear
• You can give birth through things blocking your crotch

Reported bugs I can't reproduce:

• Not allowed to pee in diaper
• Nightie teleport crashes game
• Save files can't be restored (not sure what I can do about this anyway!)

As usual, links are on the download page.

Known bugs this weekend

Hey guys, I'm away for the weekend but this is just a quick blog from my phone to discuss two major bugs people are encountering.

When you run out of earnings, the game stops tracking time which means your thirst decays every single turn! Oops. I'll fix this soon but I'm afraid I'm not at my pc until Monday.

Secondly, people are discussing the game freezing when you faint. I'm pretty sure this is acually the game waiting for you to press enter to continue, although I understand that message isn't appearing for some reason.

If pressing enter doesn't work, I suggest changing the settings so that delays are set to the fastest possible time and then it should only take a minute or so for it to continue automatically.

Diapers are working as intended, I'll discuss that further when I have the time!

Release 6 Version 0.5

A test release is finally here, along with some surprises I hope you'll all enjoy!

Surprise 1:  More coloured text
I recently found a way to get a couple more custom text colours.  I'm still experimenting with what colours the text should actually be, but I'm happy with my decision for now to use the colours to highlight monsters and items.

Surprise 2:  Ass images!
Yes yes you've all been asking for it, and I've been secretly working on this for a while now.  You can now all go and see what you think of my first attempt.  It's been surprisingly difficult to give a sense of ass size with a cropped image, since asses are only really 'large' when compared to the waist and torso of the owner.  But I've tried my best.  Ass images are all of females, and show ass openness and pussy openness.  You can enable ass images for males but this is disabled as default because, well, you don't have a vagina, so the image is lying.  Also you can disable the more gross gaping images that comes with high amounts of ass openness and pussy openness if you want with a separate option.

Surprise 3:  Images on the side!
This is an experimental feature based on the code in Scipio's example of how to create a realistic image.  I haven't done any of that clever overlaying stuff, all I've done is use the stuff on having a graphical window on the side.  I'm calling it an experimental feature because I think lots of people's screens aren't really big enough to support it and have it look nice.  And I'm not sure if everyone's interpreted supports it.  So it's defaulted to 'off' for now.

Anyway, go to the download page to grab the new version.  When you have your bug reports, please check if  they've already been reported then post them here rather than emailing me because I'm expecting there to be lots of common bugs - it's too big a game for me to test on my own in much of a meaningful way any more.

If there are any massive game breaking bugs, I hope they're found quickly because I'm away from my main PC for the weekend and so won't be able to upload a new version until Monday.

Hotfix bug fixes:

• Couldn't turn gape images off
• Cow print boots appearing regardless of heels already worn
• Lactation wasn't actually soaking clothing with milk
• At max breast size, flesh was replacing milk without forcing it to be lactated
• Cowbell was attracting monsters, even friendly or sleeping ones, in a silly infinite loop
• You could faint whilst resting on furniture and get stuck in a weird loop
• With new milk production stuff, if white is a beneficial drink colour you can do some pretty abusive stuff.  So, now there is a 40% chance that the can produced by the milking bench will be cursed.
• Mannequin putting scrunchie in hair triggered an error
• Scrunchies, cow ears in hair prevented hair description when examining self
• Ass image option displayed "OFF" instead of "ON"

To the people who have emailed me in the last few weeks, I really do apologise and will be going back through my backlog of emails in the coming week, and will attempt to reply to you all.

To finish off, here's a list of things I'm looking for feedback on:

• Orifice soreness, hair colour, make up decay timings
• New attacking system balancing issues
• Humiliation - does it tend to max out even if you're always picking the less humiliating option?
• Monsters are a bit better at chasing now, is it too difficult to escape?
• Are there any verbs you tried to use but the actual verb the game understands is something else?

And finally, a quick list of stuff you shouldn't bother trying right now because it's not implemented:

• Getting pregnant from the vines or tentacle monster
• The hotel level
• Preserving virginity
• New stuff for Barbara
• Meaningful interaction from characters you've had children with (just slight flavour changes at the moment)

Deepthroat Skill

So now that masturbation is a skill everyone starts with, the wench needs a new skill she can teach the player. So who would be more appropriate to give a lesson on deepthroating!

Whenever you get facefucked, you may now gag, which causes large amounts of humiliation, especially if it causes you to chuck up semen. Learning the deepthroating skill prevents gagging.

There may soon be some other benefits as well, maybe for example it will help with opportunities to earn a discount on items for sale...
