Version 0.1.69.9 Release

I actually put out a release on time for once! (Well, 25 minutes late, but at least it's not 2 days late like last week!)

Anyway, this is (unfortunately) the last of the '69' versions. The next release will be version 0.1.7, and I'm going to be crazy and say that it will have an update to the main story, a new race, and a re-worked TF system, as well as lots of polish for all the content that's in this version. (Oh, and Lilaya's and Kate's pregnancy scenes!!!)

In case you didn't play the preview version, 0.1.69.9 has introduced NPC persistence and clothing sealing mechanics. I plan on giving sealed clothing a much larger part in the game in the future, so if it seems a little pointless at the moment, that's only because this is just the groundwork for future content. I won't go on too much about what's new, as you can read the patch notes below! (I've added an 'Additions to preview version' section at the bottom for those of you who played the preview version.)

Thanks once again for all of your feedback and comments! Thanks to your advice, I'm actually going to take a break this weekend (even though I want to keep on working).

P.S. I've called the folder simply "Lilith's Throne" this time, instead of "Lilith's Throne v0.1.69.9", so it will be easier to drag/drop to overwrite old versions in the future.


EDIT: I'm going to be doing a couple of hours of playtesting, and I've already found a couple of 'INVALID_TARGET_NAME' instances, so I'm going to go through and fix as many as I can, then update the download with a 'hotfixed version'. I'll edit this post once I've done that! (In about 3 hours maybe.)
EDIT 2: Ok, I updated the download links with a super tiny hotfix. It's so small that I felt it didn't deserve a new post, it just fixed about 2 typos and a minor bug in the chair-sex position.


Here are the download links for version 0.1.69.9:

Pre-zipped easy download link (use this one!): Mega

(Removed Google Drive link due to lack of storage space. If you'd like a copy of this version, and the Mega link isn't working, please contact me! :3)

Lilith's Throne requires the latest version of Java to be installed on your computer.

This version is still a very early release! (There will be bugs & such!)


Patch Notes:


  • Engine:
    • Attempted to fix the memory leak problems (I didn't manage to fix it yet, but I have a good idea of what's going wrong).
      Added: Parsing engine. You can access and try this out in the debug menu. (If you don't know the debug code, read the bottom of the readme!)
      Added: Clothing 'sealed' mechanics.
  • Gameplay:
    • Added: The start of NPC persistence. When you encounter an enemy, their home tile is marked on the map with a little mark. When you visit that tile, you will re-encounter that enemy there. (Only applies to enemies encountered in alleyways at the moment, and there are no special scenes written for a repeat encounter just yet.) After defeating them in combat, you can choose remove character to remove this character from the persistent character pool. (Thereby freeing up their home tile for someone else to move into.)
      Added: 'sealed clothing', with an associated side quest that triggers when you equip a piece of jinxed clothing.
      Removed the requirement of having the 'observant' perk in order to see enemy's combat stats. (I didn't want to lock critical gameplay information behind a perk.)
      Moved weather icon into related status effects.
      Slightly increased pregnancy chances.
      Removed the requirement of having a penis in order to have sex with Kate.
  • UI:
    • Added: Old java version warning to the main menu. Versions of java that are older than 0.1.8.0_102 may cause some UI elements to not render correctly.
  • Sex:
    • Improved: Moved Kate's sex scene into an expanded 'chair-sex' position. (PLayer's actions for bottom position aren't written yet.)
      Added: A lot more 'self' options for both you and your partner. (Anal/Nipple fingering, Vagina/ass/nipple self-penetration with tail.)
      Added: 'Stop sex' action, which is only available when you're the dom or are in consensual sex. (It may be a little buggy in some sex scenes at the moment.)
      Added mutual orgasms to generic positions.
      Added a lot of options to chair-sex positions (anal, tail-fucking, getting tail-fucked, riding cock, riding cock anally, fucking nipples).
  • Bugs:
    • Finally fixed the piercing bugs that have been present since I put Kate into the game. (It turns out it was bugging out due to some unfinished masochist descriptions.)
      Fixed incorrect race identification bug at lower transformation levels.
      Fixed a lot of bugs in the clothing system.
  • Other:
    • Minor typo fixes and small edits to some descriptions.
  • Additions to preview version:
  • Gameplay:
    • Added: Pregnancy for the persistent NPCs. (I still need to improve all the descriptions for when you re-encounter these NPCs.)
      Added a status effect pop-up for when an arcane storm starts.
      Added 'Wearing a condom' status effect, for when you're wearing a condom. (Duh!)
      Drawn combat (both you and your opponent being defeated on the same turn) now awards victory to you instead of your opponent.
  • UI:
    • Temporarily disabled the main menu's 'Load Game' option until I can switch it to using the in-game save/load dialogue. (I didn't want to leave it active, as it was using an old FileChooser system that was broken on a lot of people's systems.)
      Added descriptions of sex and pregnancies to NPC's appearance (viewed using the 'characters present' button).
  • Sex:
    • Added: Pix's reward sex scene. (I plan on adding another sex scene for Pix in the future, so if this one isn't quite what you expected, there will be a more 'normal' one coming later!)
      Improved: Applied the new chair sex position to Lilaya as well as Kate.
      Added: Mystery 'sex' scene for April fool's day. (Yes, I know it's April 7th, but I had this written up a while ago, and it felt a shame not to include it...)
      Tidied up and fixed bugs in Ralph's and Brax's sex scenes. (Both Ralph's and Brax's scenes will be improved and polished for 0.1.7)
      Improved all 'ongoing' sex descriptions.
      Removed 'sex ends after X orgasms' mechanic. (Most NPCs will still choose to stop sex after they've orgasmed, but this paves the way for NPCs who will want multiple orgasms in the future.)
      Did some minor fixes to generic orgasm scenes to take into account who's wearing a condom.
      Replaced 'do nothing' with 'calm down'. (So now the only action you unlock from the denial fetish is 'Deny'.)
      Improved NPC decision making during sex. (Fixing a lot of instances where the NPC wouldn't take an obvious choice for penetration.)
      Your orifices now get lubricated by cum. (I'll add in partner-specific reactions to discovering creampied orifices at a later date.)
      NPCs will now use condoms and pills that you provide.
  • Parser:
    • Enabled nested parser commands in arguments. i.e. commands such as: [lilaya.speech(My name is [lilaya.name]!)] now work.
      Separated command 'moans' into 'moans' and 'moansVerb', to distinguish between the noun and verb form.
      Added finger-related commands.
  • Bugs:
    • Ralph no longer refreshes his inventory after sex.
      Fixed a bug in sex where some penetration actions wouldn't properly replace the previous penetration.
      Fixed some weather effect descriptions saying it was daytime at night.
      Correctly applied new parsing engine method to tooltip content.
      Fixed bug where in places a demon pregnancy wouldn't say what race you'd birthed. (Demonic pregnancies always give birth to imps.)
      Giving birth now takes into account your vaginas elasticity when calculating how much you were stretched out by.
  • Other:
    • Slightly improved text formatting in sex scenes.

    P.S. I'll be around for the next few hours, 'taking a break' (but really doing a tiny little bit more work), so if there's some sort of massive game-breaking bug, I'll be able to respond to it.
