Update (02:17): I pushed a hotfix to address the import and face/hair modification bugs that were reported.
Hello everyone! :3
Sorry again that this update progress was delayed a little, but now that I'm releasing on Wednesdays, I should be able to get a hotfix out for the weekend (if one is needed). ^^
So, anyway, this version mainly adds a few background engine implementations that were needed to get Nyan's quest working (mainly multiple-partner combat, subspecies support -thanks to Tukaima for the foundation of this-, and reading content from .xml files). Nyan's content is 95% complete, but still needs a little bit of polish before it's completely finished (I haven't had time to thoroughly play-test it yet).
There are some big issues with balance in the combat system, but please remember that it isn't completely finished yet! There are also some issues with multiple-partner sex, and some bugs floating around in the sex AI. I am going to get all of this sorted for the full version 0.2.0 release next Wednesday (along with the fluid mechanics - I'm so sorry that this is taking me so long to get done). ^^
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.)
IMPORTANT: If you're building through github, you'll now need to place the 'liliths-throne-public/res' folder in the same directory as the exported .jar!
The artwork of Brax in this post was done again by Jam. :3 You can find them over on their SFW blog, and their NSFW blog.
They have also done artwork of Bree and Brandi, but it felt like there were too many images to put them all in this post, so here are the links to the image galleries on Jam's blog (I'll embed the images of Bree & Brandi in next Wednesday's post): Brax Bree Brandi
Version 0.1.99.5 patch notes:
- Added support to read .xml files for parsing game content.
- Added 'subspecies' as a more refined way to track a character's race.
- Added support for clothing to conceal slots (I'll fill in the data for all clothing items as soon as I can).
- Reworked the way Quest data is handled in the engine (to allow branching quests).
- Maximum Energy and Aura now take level into account (+2 per level).
- Added: Ashley's shop ('Dream Lover'). This is a gift shop, and the items bought from here can be used as a way to boost affection with NPCs (only Nyan for now). (This shop, and the character 'Ashley', were both written by Kumiko.)
- Added: Gifts for Ashley to sell; Chocolates, Rose Bouquet, Rose Perfume, and Teddy Bear. Also moved feather duster from Vicky's shop to Ashley's.
- Nyan no longer stocks enchanted or 'special' clothing by default (her shop's contents will refresh to the correct stock at midnight).
- Nyan now has a quest 'Supplier Issues', through which you can unlock enchanted clothing (she now also stocks one +5/+5 rare piece of clothing in each category after completing this quest).
- Nyan now has several romance actions. (Unlocked after completing 'Supplier Issues'.)
- Improved race detection for the 'greater/lesser/minor/partial' system (it now uses weighting of all body parts).
- Added 'dobermann-morph' as a dog-morph subspecies (for use in Nyan's quest).
- The transformation to 'increase antenna/tail/horn count' will now grow a new pair of antennae/tail/pair of horns if you have none.
- Added 'marked' to possible covering patterns (naturally occurs on dog, wolf, cat, horse, and cow morphs, as well as harpies).
- Standardised the availability of covering patterns for all skin/fur/hair coverings.
- Added 'pointed' dog-morph ear variation TF. (Standard dog-morph ears are now described as 'floppy'.)
- Added 'stubby' dog-morph tail variation TF.
- Dog-morph penis transformation now sets penis colour to red, and dog-morph penises will now spawn with red skin.
- Penis transformation when growing a new penis now sets size to 1 inch (if the underlying size was 0).
- Added 'modifier' for coverings (such as 'smooth' and 'fluffy' for cat fur), which can be changed in Kate's shop. (I needed this for the Dobermann addition.)
- Added 'tan' as a covering colour for fur.
- Added: Cloak (Gender neutral, over-torso slot).
- Remade the 'ankle boots' and 'platform boots' icons.
- Added: Chelsea boots (feminine, foot slot).
- Added support for multiple combatants, both as allies and enemies.
- Improved price calculations for all clothing, weapons, and items. Also increased loot drop money, Pix's gym costs to match new amounts.
- Removed 'pure' damage and resistance as attributes. (Pure damage will be a damage type for certain spells and attacks later on, but will function as expected - to bypass all resistances.)
- Renamed 'strength' attribute to 'physique'.
- Added 'Muscle Definition', 'Body Size', and 'Body Shape' to the 'Body Stats' page in your phone.
- The 'Cardio' and 'Weights' options in Pix's Playground now reduce your Body Size and increase your Muscle, respectively, while Pix's special workout will apply both effects.
- Added physical resist to 'Masochist' fetish. (Also tweaked Sadist and Sadomasochist fetish attribute buffs.)
- Added money and essences back to the main UI.
- Added unique icons for wolf-morph status effect and items.
- Doubled the quantity of items that Ralph stocks.
- Fixed poor formatting for covering colours (such as 'brown, hair,').
- Active traits should now be correctly restored when loading a game.
- Fixed bug where tiles in the bottom-left of maps would be hidden on loading a game.
- Fixed some instances of incorrect dirty talk lines.
- Fixed issue where NPCs would generate a huge amount of fetish desires, as well as the bug where NPCs would re-generate desires on a game load. (I think - please let me know if this is still happening!)
- Fixed UI bug where horizontal scroll bar would sometimes appear in the left panel.
- Added ability to get anally penetrated while lying down in the missionary position.
Version 0.1.99.6 patch notes:
- Fixed Nyan's 'Small Talk' action incrementing arousal by 100 instead of 1...
- Fixed bug where character imports wouldn't work.
- Fixed bug where the 'Face' modification screen in character creation would cause a major background bug to occur.
- Fixed game-breaking bug where if you clicked on an item in the right-panel during the prologue, it would freeze the game.
