It's another 'full release' week, so here's version 0.1.78!
Although I managed to fix quite a few bugs and implement some of your suggestions, I didn't get enough time to write in the harpy content, so I feel as though there isn't much new content to see in this version. I really feel like I'm coming to the end of the engine work now, and after I fix this annoying memory leak, I'll be free to add a lot of new content each week!
The one major thing I changed in this full release is the way fetishes are unlocked. Now, instead of sharing a resource pool with the 'perk points', you spend 'arcane essences' in order to unlock fetishes (earned from being in the presence of an orgasm).
Speaking of essences, I'm going to focus a lot of effort on improving the enchanting system for this next version. I need to add a 'repeat craft' option, as well as some kind of recipe system, so you won't have to click through 3 or 4 screens to craft each potion. I'll also be adding clothing enchantments,
as well as giving you the option to use arcane essences in crafting. I'll go into more detail about these things when I make the 'Targets for v0.1.8' post early next week.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the game, and if you have any questions, suggestions, or bug reports, you can either leave a comment here on the blog, or jump into the Lilith's Throne discord and message me there! ^^
EDIT: I fixed the bug with fetish costs not being applied properly, and updated the links below!
.jar version (requires the latest version of Java to be installed on your computer):
Pre-zipped (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)
.exe version (use this if you are on windows and are having problems running the .jar):
Pre-zipped: 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)
Please remember that Lilith's Throne is still in an early alpha state, so there will be bugs and half-finished content!
Version 0.1.78 patch notes:
Engine:
Added support for NPC relationships. (Not used just yet though.)
Gameplay:
Altered: Fetish mechanics. You now earn fetishes by spending arcane essences (your first fetish is free). Arcane essences are earned by being in the presence of an orgasm.
Added: Impregnation, switch, sadomasochist, and breeder fetishes.
Altered: Split 'fertility' attribute up into 'fertility' (chance of getting pregnant), and 'virility' (chance of getting someone else pregnant).
Added: Dark alleyways tile. I moved the chance of a succubus encounter out of normal alleyways, and put her into dark alleyways instead.
Added: Item use in combat.
Added: Nymphomaniac perk. (Has a pretty bad willpower resistance penalty, but doubles the amount of arcane essences gathered from sex.)
Ladykiller and Minx perks no longer affect the encounter rate of male/female NPCs. (Use the new gender preferences screen in the options menu to alter gender encounter rates.)
Slightly tweaked some fetish values.
Observant perk now reveals an NPC's gender in their character description.
Added a small (5%) chance for random attackers in Dominion (both in back alleys and during a storm) to be fully human.
Added a 'frustrated' status effect for if you finish sex without orgasming.
Story/writing:
Added kitchen description.
Added Lilaya's room description.
Added introduction for Nyan in her shop.
Slightly improved the 'bimbo friends' option at the Enforcer HQ. (I'll expand this a little more when I make Brax a repeatable encounter.)
Combat:
NPCs will now use fetish teases and special attacks in combat.
NPCs now gain experience from defeating you in combat.
Sex:
Added a 'do nothing' action. (I'm aware that the actions are getting a bit cluttered in sex scenes, so I'm going to try and tidy them up for the next release.)
Clothing:
Added: Chemise. Feminine, chest slot.
Added: Open cup bra. Feminine, chest slot.
Added: Backless panties. Feminine, groin slot.
Added: Crotchless panties. Feminine, groin slot.
UI:
Added timestamps for save game files in the save/load screen.
Added confirmation for save file's load, overwrite, and delete options.
Other:
Added: Auto save. The game will now create/overwrite the save file 'AutoSave' whenever you transition between maps.
Added: Detailed gender preferences screen in the options menu.
Added: Detailed furry preferences screen in the options menu.
Removed the option to obtain human essences in your room. (You can now earn them by finding and defeating a human.)
Added 'orange' and 'ginger' feathers for harpies.
Added 'brown' and 'ivory' skin colourings for demons.
Ralph now stocks more dye-brushes.
Changed debug menu's 'reveal map' to a 'debug mode' toggle. (Reveals map and unlocks enchanting. More effects will be added in the future.)
Male NPCs will no longer spawn with the 'Bimbo' fetish.
Slightly changed the 'remove character' mechanics again. (Removing a character is now done through a direct button press. This option also appears after sex, so you can have sex and then remove the character if you want.)
Slightly increased the strength of potion and elixir effects (background values were altered from 2->3 and 3->6, respectively).
NPC names should now change based on their femininity (e.g. wolf-girl will rename to wolf-boy if you feed her masculinity potions).
Bugs:
Fixed bug where Pix wouldn't remember that you had a lifetime gym membership.
Fixed bug where Kate's introduction scene would repeat every time you entered her shop.
Fixed some minor typos, grammatical errors, buggy parsing methods, and inconsistent dialogue.

'Skip Prologue' will now correctly start the game in an arcane storm.
Fixed bug where character viewer wouldn't work in some sex scenes.
Fixed game freeze when 'Stop sex' was selected. (This was being caused by a bad method call for human pregnancies.)

Fixed some bugs with the 'appears as gender' detection.
Re-added pink colours to several penetration-related actions in sex.
Fixed bug where the 'lost virginity to' description in your selfie wouldn't give the partner's name.

Attribute boosting potions now correctly affect NPCs.
