Hello everybody! ^^
This week, I finally finished the engine updates that were needed in order to support multiple-partner sex. I've still got a small amount of work left to do on some related mechanics (such as using lust & stamina in sex), but those will only take a day or two. I also got started on updating the orgasm content, which at the moment is half-way done. It will be completely finished off for the full release on Friday! ^^
I think that next week's work on the combat update (and Nyan's content) will run over into 0.1.99, but that will definitely be the last engine-focused update before 0.2.0, where I'll switch my effort over to adding in content! :3
As always, I build these previews for backers on Patreon, but if you're not a patron, you can also build these previews yourself from the public github (which is always kept up to date with the very latest version): https://github.com/Innoxia/liliths-throne-public (There's a build tutorial here.)
Version 0.1.97.5 progress:
- Updated to Java 9.0.1. If you're using the .jar version of the game, please update your Java to 9.0.1 (.exe versions are unaffected).
- Finished converting the save system to .xml. All saves now use the new .xml system, so you won't need to export/import between versions anymore.
- Optimised NPC load method, so loading a game should now be faster.
- Added support for conditional parsing commands to the parsing engine. I'll add documentation for this soon.
- Finished refactor of all sex engine code to properly support multiple-partner sex scenes.
- Updated Save/Load UI, and changed Export/Import to exported character management screen.
- Updated inventory slot positions. (This should now be the final layout.)
- NPCs should no longer switch positions just before they orgasm.
- NPCs will no longer instantly re-penetrate themselves on the same turn that you forbid or stop all self-penetrative actions.
- Reworked all back-end code for generic orgasms, ready to write in more detailed content for the full release.
- Added 'cum on area' orgasm options, to allow you to cum on a specific area of your partner's body. (Not completely finished yet.)
- Demons now only have 1 pair of breasts by default. (I originally intended this to be the case, but I ended up giving them 3 a long time ago to test multiple-breast rows, and forgot to change it back.)
- Improved corruption descriptions to reflect the fact that corruption is a measure of perversion.
- Offspring are now permanently removed from the encounterable NPC list when you tell them to leave. (I'll add a way to manually find them again in the future.)
- Penis, anus, nipple, and vagina sex actions (such as 'Finger him/her' and 'Stroke his/her cock') are now completely hidden until you discover if the NPC has the correct genitals/nipples/anus to perform those actions on.
- Removed old lore reference to the arcane making everyone bi-sexual (this was the case before I added sexual orientations to the game).
- Moved pregnancy lore information out of the phone's 'Pregnancy stats' page and into a book in Lilaya's library.
- Forced TFs will now increase your cum production, where appropriate.
- Gynephilic NPCs will now prefer to forcibly TF you into a female, unless they have the 'pregnancy' or 'broodmother' fetishes, in which case they will prefer to TF you into a futanari, shemale, or trap.
- Added a masochistic/cum addict variation of the 'dirty clothes' status effect.
- Added a 'dirty body' status effect (with matching masochistic/cum addict variation), which is applied if any of your body parts are covered in cum. (Can be removed by washing in your room.)
- Added Linux font compatibility (added Carlito as an alternative font for Calibri). (by PyrophoricPlumage)
- Fixed incorrect colour reference. (by CognitiveMist)
- Numerous performance improvements. (by CognitiveMist)
- Addressed some control flow & code style items. (by CognitiveMist)
- Fixed striped leggings, panties, and bra using incorrect colour variables. (by Tukaima)
- NPC orgasms should now function correctly (that is, they should now cum inside when they're supposed to).
- Typo fixes (some minor ones in tooltips, changing 'reindeer morph' to be hyphenated like other races, and several other small fixes).
- Imported slaves at the auction block no longer spawn in as being pregnant.
- Fixed bugs related to Finch's ownership of slaves. (He should now correctly lose ownership of slaves you purchase from the auction block.)
- Fixed incorrect penis reveal dialogue (where the NPC would compare your penis size to their own, non-existent penis).
- Fixed enchanting bug where crafting a potion to change a certain body type (primarily horns) would then lock out transformation options for other racial potions.
- Fixed hypno-watch effect description returning 'command_unknown'.
- Slightly changed piercing slot descriptions to reflect whether or not your character knows what the NPC's genitals/nipples look like.
- Nyan's inventory is now correctly saved/loaded.
- Multiple partner sex scenes should no loner suddenly lose one of the NPC partners.
- Fixed major game-freezing bug where if you were on the receiving end of penetrative non-consensual sex, and your partner reached orgasm but you did not, you would get stuck on the 'receive creampie' and 'request pullout' options.
- Fixed duplicate actions showing up in Kate's and Lilaya's sex scenes.
- When starting from a character import, the flag that sets your having met Brax is now correctly reset.
- Fixed minor bug in gender appearance method (masculine characters with no genitals are no assumed to be male if their groin is concealed).
- Added correct description variants for NPCs when consuming the harpy matriarchs' special items.
- Fixed bug where you could perform anilingus and cunnilingus at the same time. (Also fixed a related bug where multiple penis-related sex actions could be performed.)
- Fixed four and five rows of breasts always being described as three.
- Fixed issue where in some screens/dialogue/tooltips, incorrect NPC names or stats would be displayed.
- Can no longer pull up T-shirt from under concealing/blocking clothing.
- NPCs will no longer be stuck at having a fraction of their health, willpower, and stamina.
- Vicky's post-sex scene will now correctly no longer reference Arthur's package after you've completed that section of the side-quest.
- Importing a game that was exported while the difficulty was set to anything above 'Human' will no loner lock all NPC's levels to being double that of yours.
- Slightly improved genetics/inheritance method, so that offspring's ass & hip sizes (and probably a few other things) will now more closely resemble that of their parents.
- Fixed bugged arousal gain values in sex.
- Winter event Reindeer-morphs will no longer spawn in as human (if your furry settings are set to 'Human', then they'll spawn in as minor Reindeer-morphs).
- Reindeer overseers and cultist chapels should now both be able to be accessed if they are on the same tile.
- 'Spread pussy' action will now transfer lubrication between fingers & vagina.
UPDATE:
Version 0.1.97.6 (Hotfix):
- Removed mutual orgasms (again). They weren't really serving much purpose (the only two instances of mutual orgasms were just appending normal orgasm text together), and were removing your control over your partner's orgasm.
- Converted 'generic' partner orgasms into the new system. They're still a little bland at the moment, but I'll write in more detail this week. :3
- Reduced default size of horse-morph breasts (from GG to DD), and increased default size of cow-morph breasts (from E to G).
- Fixed: Game freezes/unresponsive orgasm actions during sex (the 'Stay in position' ones).
- Fixed: Numerous cases of sex actions becoming unavailable when they shouldn't have been. (You should now be able to perform multiple different 'ongoing' penetrations at once, just like you used to be able to.)
- Fixed pregnant characters not working in 'New game (import)', as well as pregnant characters not being imported in Slaver Alley's auction block.
- The 'Wash' action in your room will now correctly clean currently equipped clothing.
- Fixed quite a few reported typos and instances of incorrect gender/character parsing.
- The 'Pull out' orgasm actions will now correctly stop penis penetration.
- NPCs in the stocks can no longer manage your or their own clothes.
- Fixed bug where your partner's ongoing sex actions would be available to you (such as getting fingering options when your partner would be fingering themselves).
- Fixed a few more causes of game freezes/background errors.
- Fixed 'Anal tease' sex action sometimes returning a blank description.
