Version 0.2.4 Release

EDIT (30th April, 21:00 UTC): There were some reports of the 32-bit .exe not working, so I've repackaged it, tested that it works properly on my end, and updated the links in this post.

Hello again! ^^

I managed to get all of the spell-related work finished, which again took longer than I hoped it would. As a result, I didn't manage to get the slavery, Nightlife, or Submission content done for this version, but I promise that will be my core focus for 0.2.5. ;_;

The next release will be the github/Patreon update on Wednesday, 2nd May. After that, the next full public release (0.2.5) will be out on Wednesday, 9th May.

I'm aiming to focus purely on the slavery content for the 0.2.4.5 release, and then I'll move on to Submission & Nightlife for the full release of 0.2.5. I'll make a more detailed post outlining my goals this Monday or Tuesday. ^^

v0.2.4 patch notes


  • Gameplay:
    • Vicky now sells spell books and scrolls. This is temporary until the spell shop is added. (She deliberately doesn't sell spell books for Cleanse, Steal, Soothing Water, Teleport, and Lilith's Command, as these are all planned to be quest-related. If you want to try them out, use the debug menu.)
      Finished adding effects for all 8 of the Arcane spells.
      Random attackers now spawn with random items in their inventory.
      Added variable point costs for spell upgrades.
      Added mechanics for spell school unique abilities. (Dye without needing dye-brushes for Earth, fluid enchantments free for Water, Energy & aura regeneration doubled for Air, deal 2 extra fire damage in melee for Fire, know time until next storm for Arcane.)
      Added support for clicking on the phone's map to teleport (if you have the 'Teleport' spell).
      Added a little passage in the prologue where Lilaya gives you the spell book for 'Ice Shard'. (You will find this spell book in your room when you load into this version.)
      Added in crystals and feathers granting you spells/attribute boosts again.
      Added elemental encyclopedia lore entries (unlocked when reading the elemental spell book).
      Removed Witch's Seal and Witch's Charm spell books. (These were accidentally added in 0.2.3.9.)
  • Balancing:
    • Buffed Witch's Seal to last for 3 turns, and increased costs of Witch's Charm and Witch's Seal to 40 and 80, respectively.
      Random succubi attackers in the dark alley tiles now spawn knowing the spells 'Arcane Arousal' and 'Telepathic Communication'.
      Increased spell book and spell scroll values.
  • Clothing:
    • Added: Hoop earrings (feminine, ear-piercing slot). Candi and Brandi now wear hoop earrings.
      Dresses no longer block the leg slot.
  • Other:
    • Added support for recolouring sclera (the white part of the eye).
      Added lots of tongue colours and patterns.
      Added 'Reset spells' to debug options.
      Renamed 'Seduction' damage/resistance to 'Lust' damage/resistance.
      Offensive spells can now only be cast on enemies.
  • Bugs:
    • Fixed inventory scaling bug that was present in Java 10 and more recent versions of Java 8.
      Fixed potion name generation.
      Fixed numerous minor bugs related to elementals (incorrect status effects, summoning costs, descriptions).
      Fixed some items of clothing (such as the overbust corset) concealing their own inventory slot.
      Fixed clients in Angel's Kiss not being attracted to you.
      Fixed bug where safety goggles would get equipped onto you during the prologue.
      Fixed bug where female characters could start the game having already lost their penile virginity.
      Fixed humans being referred to such things as 'a masculine man male', or 'a feminine woman female'.
      Fixed being able to upgrade spells even if upgrade points were 0.
      Fixed incorrect NPC eye colour transformation descriptions.
      Fixed elementals in your party being available at the stocks.
      Fixed companions instantly regeneration 100% of energy and aura after fights.

    Version 0.2.3.9 (Buggy) Release

    Hello again! ^^

    As you've no doubt seen from the title of this post, I've held off from marking this version as 0.2.4, as I ended up running out of time towards the end of getting all the new spell work done. It took a huge amount of work to get all of the supporting code added for these new spells, and while I've been working on it non-stop since Saturday, I didn't have enough time to get the last spell school (Arcane) finished for this release.

    Due to this, this version may be a little buggy and half-finished. There's no in-game way to earn the spell books or scrolls, so if you wanted to test them out, you'll have to use the debug menu (just type "buggy" at any point to bring it up). I'll add a 'reset spells' button to the debug menu for 0.2.4 if you wanted to start over properly then. (All of the spell books and scrolls will be added properly into the game for 0.2.4.)

    I plan on spending the next two days finishing off the work on 0.2.4, and should be able to get the spells completely finished, as well as getting a lot done on the slavery improvements, the start of Nightlife, and Submission content. This should be ready for the night of Friday/morning of Saturday.

    So, to summarise, I'll be making another public release this Friday night/Saturday morning (at about this same time), which will be the finished version of 0.2.4. ^^

    This is still an alpha, and contains bugs and half-finished content!

    (Note: Oracle recently dropped support for Java 9, and there's a relatively minor inventory UI bug when using Java 8.172. I should have this fixed for 0.2.4. - this only affects the .jar version.)

    v0.2.3.9 patch notes


  • Gameplay:
    • Added: Final version of the spell system, along with 16 new & reworked spells (Arcane school spells aren't finished yet).
      Changed: Spells are now learned through spell books, or by being taught to you by someone else. You gain spell upgrade points by reading appropriate scrolls, which can then be spent to upgrade your spells.
      Added: Support for elemental companions. (I still need to add in a lot of unique dialogue for them, including unique sex actions. I also need to finish off their body descriptions, as a lot of it is incorrect at the moment...)
      Added dodge chance, miss chance, unarmed damage, melee weapon damage, and ranged weapon damage as attributes. Removed spell resistance (to fit in with resistances being focused on countering damage types, not attack types).
      All damage and resistance attributes have had value ranges changed from '0 to 100' to '-100 to 100'.
  • Artwork:
    • Added Jam's artwork of Zaranix.
      Added ChattyNeko's artwork of Scarlett.
  • Contributors:
    • Expanded BodyMaterial to add noun and adjective support for all types of body features. Also added relevant parser commands. (tukaima)
  • Other:
    • Lore books are no longer removed from your inventory after use.
      In combat, if all enemies are stunned, escape chance is now 100%.
      Added ability to self-target and target allies in combat. (Yes, you can punch yourself or your allies... Please don't do this...)
      Rebalanced the passive buffs from high level arcane and physique status effects.
      Condensed the character UI panels a little, by removing traits from the shown status effects, and only showing non-timed or combat-related SEs while in combat.
      NPCs are now properly able to use spells in combat.
      Made the 'Calm Down' sex action available in all scenes again.
  • Bugs:
    • Fixed Candi wearing a normal, non-enforcer mini-skirt, and made her uniform pink.
      Fixed personality attributes not being saved/loaded correctly.
      Fixed bug where modded clothing icons wouldn't load on linux.
      Critically casting beneficial spells will no longer apply arcane weakness.
      Fixed bug where NPCs would continuously spawn clothing to cover themselves.
      Fixed bug where NPC clothing displacements would not be saved.
      Fixed demon TF menu options showing incorrect button labels.
      Fixed being able to remove companion and manage their inventory when not in a neutral dialogue.
      Fixed status effect rendering order.
      Fixed bug where DoT effects in combat would tick twice in the turn that they were applied.
      Fixed bug where Karl & Wolfgang's fight wouldn't remove your companions.
      Fixed bug where Controlled Aggression perk would sometimes not work.
      Fixed bugs where your companions would be marked as slaves for sale/use in slaver alley's stocks and auction block. Also fixed similar bugs in Angel's Kiss.
      Fixed bug where you could transform Rose in her special scene.
      Fixed minor UI bug where the save button would be under the load column.

    Continued Goals for 0.2.4

    Hello everyone! ^^

    As I got the companion system and clothing mod work done for 0.2.3.5, I'm now left with the rest of 0.2.4's goals to complete. I've been working on the new spell system over Thursday, Friday, and yesterday, which has proven to be a little more work than I originally expected. I should have it all finished by this evening, and will then move on to improving slavery content, adding the basics of Nightlife, and adding Submission content.

    The full release of 0.2.4 is aimed for the night of 25th April, but, as is typical for these releases, it's highly likely to run into the early hours of Thursday morning, so a more reasonable estimate would be the morning of Thursday, 26th, 07:00 UTC. ^^


    Goals for 0.2.4:

    - Finish the spell system and add a few more weapons.

    - Improve slavery jobs & interactions (winner of Patreon content poll).

    - Start adding in Nightlife content (winner of a more recent Patreon content poll).

    - Add Submission content. (Special encounters for Bat-morphs, Slimes, and other races. Add slime TF quest. Adding content for the Imp fortresses, Gambling Den, and Bat caverns.)

    - Fix bugs and sort out github issues and PRs.

    I will probably get all of the above done for tomorrow's release. The goals below will carry over into 0.2.5.

    - Adding in the next stage of the main quest (earning an audience with Lyssieth).

    - Add in a mod template for items, weapons, and sex actions.

    - Write a guide for user submitted content.


    P.S Sorry that I haven't responded to your comments in the previous post yet, but I have made a note of all the major bugs you've reported (such as slaves re-equipping clothes, and the inventory UI being tiny on newer Java versions). I'll get those fixed for tomorrow's release, and then I'll catch up with responding to you all. ^^

    Version 0.2.3.5 Update Progress

    Hello again everyone! ^^

    For the progress this week, I finally finished the companion system (with help from Irbynx), which I'd originally indented to add alongside the Karl and Wolfgang encounter. I decided to add this companion system before doing the spell work, as I have plans for a few of the spells to summon elemental allies (which requires a companion system). It's lacking proper post-sex options to get your companion involved, as I need to add NPC-on-NPC variants for sex actions (I'm planning on doing this in 0.2.5), but all the basic functionality should work.

    I also added the framework for modding in clothing, which is my first proper step in adding mod support. Please bear with me as I continue to build up the size and scope of modding support over the versions ahead. ^^

    As the last major thing, I've added the map and basic content for the bat caverns, although the bat-morph and slime encounters haven't been filled in properly yet. With this now added, all of Submission's basic framework is complete. There will be small internal maps for both the gambling den and the rat warren, but they will be of similar sizes to the Shopping Arcade's Supplier Depot.

    Over the next two days, and then over the start of next week before Wednesday's full release, I'll be adding the new spell system, writing in content for Submission, Nightlife, and Slavery, and fixing bugs/other minor things. The full release will most likely be around this same time (in the early hours of Thursday 26th). ^^. ^^


    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.)

    If you do build the game through github, please remember that these are preview releases, and there is a lot of half-finished content (and most likely bugs)!

    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!


    Version 0.2.3.5 patch notes:


  • Gameplay:
    • Added: Companion system. You can just take one slave around with you for now, and the interaction options are a little limited (post-combat sex options haven't been implemented yet), but this adds functionality for adding unique followers later on. (Contribution from Irbynx.)
      Added: Clothing mod support. (Look in the mod folder for details.)
      Updated personality types from being a set one-in-four, to having weights on five personality traits (Adventurousness, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, and Neuroticism).
      Added personality selection to the new character screen. (If you want to set it on your current character, just save the game in this new version, then open the save file and search for 'personality' under your character's entry. You can edit the values there.)
      Added map of the Bat Caverns, along with bat-morph and slime encounters.
  • Clothing:
    • Updated all clothing to have correct concealments, and added appropriate tooltip information to let you know what clothing is responsible. (e.g. Panties being worn beneath a skirt will be hidden to you until you unequip or pull up the skirt.)
      Added: Enforcer's miniskirt (Feminine, Leg slot). Candi now wears this instead of shorts.
      Updated Enforcer clothing to use a third colour for buttons, and the frontal-zip dress to use a customisable colour for the zip.
  • Contributors:
    • Added: Groundwork for the new companion system. (Irbynx)
      Fixed harpy nest entrance background colour. (Master of Puppets)
      Typo fix. (Master of Puppets)
      Fixed strange behaviour when having sex with NPCs in stocks, where if it was banned for them to receive a certain type of sex, you would be banned from performing related sex actions as well. (Master of Puppets)
      Changed sex actions so the only ones that reduce arousal are now ones related to denial. Resisting pace/actions no longer cause arousal to drop, and instead, arousal increases are zero on non-erogenous zone actions, and low on others. Having the non-con fetish sets these arousal increases to high. (Master of Puppets)
      Restricted use of 'calm down' action to only be available when you're the dom, or when you have the same amount of control as the dom. (Master of Puppets)
      Added tooltips to the phone's map page. (Master of Puppets)
      Changed the code so that the 'new addiction' dialog only shows if the ingesting character isn't already addicted to the fluid, and otherwise shows the 'satisfied craving' dialog if the ingesting character is addicted. (AlacoGit)
      Tidied up the game's version checking method. (lehardo)
      Fixed some instances of incorrect cum parsing. (ltpatch)
      Fixed issue with harpies not respecting your gender preferences. (Master of Puppets)
      Added folder checking on startup. (Bukkyo256)
      Fixed Lilaya's Submissive Geisha scene immediately ending. (TadUnlikely)
      Fixed Vixen's Virility returning incorrect descriptions. (ltpatch)
  • Other:
    • Added ChattyNeko's artwork for Nyan.
      Moved the 'Explore' action from button 6 to 1. (I originally put it on 6 so that when you were spamming it to explore, you wouldn't accidentally skip the encounter dialogue. Now that 'Explore' always results in an encounter on the first press, there's no need for it to be so out of place.)
      Added throat wetness, capacity, elasticity, and plasticity to the 'Body Stats' phone dialogue page, and added more throat descriptions to the selfie/character view page, as well as improving the coloured parts of all body description text.
      Added formatting to essence counter, and made the formatting specific to locale. (So now it really should use a comma, period, or space depending on your computer's locale.)
      Fixed gloves blocking you from wearing rings.
      Non-slave NPCs which do not have the exhibitionist fetish should now properly replace their clothing after you leave them alone.
      Removed hard-coded sealing effects from all BDSM set gear, and made them have the 'sealing' enchantment by default instead.
      The 'cattle' clothing set is now sold by Finch, instead of Nyan.
      Reorganised Nyan's trading menus.
      Added support in the code for adding custom artwork for the PlayerCharacter (follow the instructions in 'res -> images -> characters -> modding.txt' to add artwork).
      Changed Dobermann subspecies name from the clunky 'Dobermann-morph' to just 'Dobermann'.
  • Bugs:
    • Fixed (that annoying) bug where the game's tooltips could get stuck on your screen when alt-tabbing/changing window focus.
      Typo fixes.
      Fixed bug in vixen's virility pill effect description.
      Fixed incorrect Katherine and Kelly descriptions.
      Fixed Zaranix getting stuck in his lounge.
      Fixed enchanting UI not showing correct cost reduction from 'Arcane Weaver' perk.
      Fixed some bugs in the way clothing concealment was working.
      Fixed several clothing displacements being erroneously available through other clothing.
      Fixed bug where looking for trouble in the harpy nests would never return a harpy fight encounter.
      (Hopefully) fixed that annoying bug where slave's stats would get stuck to the right of your screen.
      Fixed bug where public sex would stop being counted as public as soon as you switched position.

    P.S. I will catch up with comments over the next two days! :3

    Goals for 0.2.4

    Hello everyone, here's the post in which I set out my goals for 0.2.4! ^^

    For this version, I'm going to mainly be continuing my work from 0.2.3. I'll be adding content for each of the locations in Submission, as well as unique encounters for the slimes, bat-morphs, and other races down there. I'll also be finishing off the spell system, and adding the companion system that I had planned for the combat rework (which got pushed back due to other things getting in the way). I also want to get more slavery content added, as well as starting to get some content written for the 'Nightlife' area.

    All of these goals are aimed for the full release on 25th April, but I'll do my very best to get as many of them completed for the github/Patreon update this Wednesday, 18th April. (Expect Wednesday's release to run into the early hours of Thursday morning, GMT.) :3


    Goals for 0.2.4:

    - Add Submission content. (Special encounters for Bat-morphs, Slimes, and other races. Add slime TF quest. Adding content for the Imp fortresses, Gambling Den, and Bat caverns.)

    - Adding in the next stage of the main quest (earning an audience with Lyssieth).

    - Finish the spell system and add a few more weapons.

    - Add the companion/party system. (This will be quite basic to begin with, and will most likely just be for taking your slaves along with you.)

    - Add in a mod template for items, clothing, weapons, and sex actions.

    - Improve slavery jobs & interactions (winner of Patreon content poll).

    - Start adding in Nightlife content (winner of a more recent Patreon content poll).

    - Fix bugs and sort out github issues and PRs.

    - Write a guide for user submitted content.

    (I know I don't always meet all of my goals in each version, but I like to set myself a lot of targets so that I'm motivated to work really hard! ^^)

    Version 0.2.3.1 Hotfix

    Hello again! ^^

    Here's a small hotfix to address the bugs in 0.2.3! The next update after this will be the github/Patreon one on the night of Wednesday 18th. After that, the full public release of 0.2.4 will be out on the night of Wednesday 25th! :3

    I'll answer all of your comments over the weekend, and will then make a '0.2.4 targets' post on Monday. ^^

      Fixed NPC's clothing displacement tooltips incorrectly referring to you.
      Fixed bug where Rose wouldn't clean her underwear after orgasming in them.
      Expanded harpy feather colours should now be available.
      Fixed mouth/tongue sex availability bug, where you would still be able to initiate blowjobs while giving cunnilingus.

    Version 0.2.3 Release

    Hello again! ^^

    Sorry that I didn't make a 'continued targets' post this week - my organisation has been a little lacking these past couple of weeks, but it should all be back to normal in time for Wednesday's update!

    For this version, I've finished all of Amber's and Zaranix's repeatable content, as well as getting a lot of bugs and other issues sorted out. All of Submission's placeholder dialogue should now also be filled in, ready for me to expand upon and add quests to in version 0.2.4.

    The main things that didn't make it into this release are the new spells, item/clothing/weapon mod support, and Lyssieth's quest. I'll be working on all of those, as well as general Submission content, for the next release! ^^

      Finished placeholder text in Submission.
  • Artwork:
    • Added ChattyNeko's artwork for each of Lilaya's skin tone variations. (As Lilaya's skin tone is determined by your character's starting skin tone.)

      Large amount of punctuation fixes. (WoefulWombat)
  • Other:
    • The 'Explore' action in Dominion alleyways, Harpy nest walkways, and Submission tunnels now instantly returns an event. (With the event type being the same probability as before, but now you don't need to mash your hotkey until it triggers.)
      Added ChattyNeko's artwork for the skin tone variations for Lilaya.
      If you have the 'Test subject' fetish, you can no longer spit out transformative potions.
      Thigh sex, hotdogging, and paizuri/naizuri no longer take penis virginity.

      Added 'Nipple penetration' content toggle. (On by default.)
      Improved content options UI.
      Added formatting to large money amounts (i.e. 120000 is now displayed as 120,000, or 120.000 depending on locale).
      Changed the 'Perks' menu button to only be highlighted until you first click it after levelling up.
      Increased lactation increment from clothing effects from 1ml to 50ml.
      Added support for public sex, which now levels up the exhibitionist fetish. (The only public sex actions are through Amber's scenes at the moment - more will be added soon!)
  • Bugs:
    • Fixed cause of sex scenes sometimes not starting (due to a bug related to wearing jinxed clothing).
      Fixed some inconsistencies in Dominion's boulevard tile descriptions during an arcane storm, and made their tiles correctly show as safe.
      Typo fixes.
      Character images in .jpg format are now properly supported.
      Fixed a couple of Brax's sex scenes starting in the standing position instead of doggy as the dialogue implied.
      Fixed canine and lupine cock transformations not turning the cock red.
      Fixed bug where you could craft potions with no effects.
      Brax's transformative potion now gives you the submissive fetish.
      Fixed bug where screen would scroll to top whenever you selected a perk or fetish/desire.
      Fixed bug where NPCs wouldn't remember you after loading a saved game.
      Fixed a case where both your and your partner's virginity loss wouldn't show up in the character viewer.
      NPCs can no longer spawn in disliking/hating both being both dominant and submissive.
      Fixed slave event bug where it would describe the slave having sex with themselves.
      Fixed bug where pubic hair would be the incorrect type for the character.
      Fixed submissive/dominant prostitute dialogue being reversed in Angel's Kiss.
      Fixed bug where subspecies wouldn't spawn correctly (I think it was only affecting border-collie-morphs).
      Autosaves between areas should now work properly.
      Fixed anilingus sometimes not being available in 69 position.

    Version 0.2.2.5 Update Progress

    Hello everyone!

    Sorry about the little delay (once again). There was a major bug in the rendering of images in the game, and I only caught it at the last moment before release. It should all be fixed now, so here's the preview!

    I've managed to get a lot of bugs and other issues sorted out for this preview, as well as adding in an optional artwork viewer on unique characters' information pages.

    I've got a lot of writing for Amber's and Zaranix's repeatable content done in draft format, so I'll get that added to the game for the next full release, along with Submission content (of which I've also got some drafts done). ^^

    Also, I'm going to spend all day tomorrow catching up with comments!


    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.)

    If you do build the game through github, please remember that these are preview releases, and there is a lot of half-finished content (and most likely bugs)!

    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 Ralphin this post was done by Jam. :3
    You can find them over on their SFW blog and NSFW blog.

      Added Milking Room upgrade, along with 'Milking Cow'/'Milking Bull' job for slaves. (Still needs finishing off.)

    • Added: Optional in-game artwork viewer (enabled by default, can be disabled in the content options screen). Major NPCs which have had artwork drawn of them will now have that artwork displayed in their character screen. You can also add in custom images (info is in the res/images/characters/modding.txt folder).
      Added: Demon tail TF variation. (Hair-tipped instead of spaded.)

      You can now change body hair colours at Kate's shop and through the demon transformation screen.
      Slimes no longer need to have their body parts pierced in order to equip piercings (you still need to grow a vagina or penis to equip those piercings, however).
      NPCs with the Submissive fetish will now prefer to stick with the gentle pace while being the dom in sex (unless they are a switch or sadist, in which case they'll use normal/rough paces as normal).
      Added white slime colour.
      Added a lot more colours for feathers.
      NPCs who hate sadism will now always be gentle while domming, and NPCs that dislike sadism will prefer the normal pace.

      Typo, formatting, and parsing fixes.
      Fixed a lot of incorrect clothing equip/unequip/displace descriptions.
      You can no longer equip penis and vagina piercings, even if you had no penis or vagina.
      Drinking a biojuice canister while already being a slime will no longer display the slime transformation description.
      Imp offsprings no longer have their height determined by genetics (which was resulting in very tall imps).
      Fixed Loppy's post-sex scene returning Bunny's dialogue.
      Swapping positions in sex now correctly resets all ongoing sex actions.
      Fixed bug where mutually exclusive slave job settings would not be set correctly when you loaded a game.

    Preview Saturday Evening

    Just to keep you all updated, I have pushed the preview to github, but as I was building and testing it, a huge bug has appeared. It's going to take me a few hours to fix, and it's already 8:30 in the morning for me here. I'm going to have to get some sleep and push a fixed preview update tomorrow/later today. ;_;

    I'll estimate the release time to be ~22:00 GMT.

    Version 0.2.2.1 (Hotfix) & Version 0.2.3 goals

    Hello everyone! ^^

    As I mentioned in Friday's release post, here's a hotfix/update for 0.2.2. Again, I'm sorry that I didn't manage to get all of my 0.2.2 goals finished. I'll carry them over into 0.2.3 and make sure that it's all done for the release next week. ^^

    I've got the urethral sex actions added in this, as well as finishing most of Submission's basic content. I started on making Zaranix a repeatable encounter, but I realised that I need to make new scenes for almost every room and encounter in his house, so it will take me a little while to finish all that. :s

    v0.2.2.1 patch notes


  • Gameplay:
    • Ralph now stocks bat, rat, and rabbit consumables.
  • Sex:
    • Added 'Swap Position' action to sex, so you can now access every possible position by swapping with your partner. (Available if you're the dom, or if you have equal control in the sex scene. Disabled in some unique sex scenes.)
      Added 'penis in vaginal urethra' penetration actions for both player and partner.
      Added 'penis in penis urethra' penetration actions for both player and partner.
  • Other:
    • Changed the perks 'barren' and 'firing blanks' to traits (can now be equipped/unequipped will), and changed the trait 'arcane weaver' to a perk.
      Improved the inventory screen to use pages. (Using a scrollbar wasn't viable, as JavaFX struggles to render so many SVGs at once.)

      Swapped Nyan's talk & trade tabs to make it (slightly) faster to shop there.

      Fixed bat penis being detected as squirrel penis.
      Loppy and Bunny now correctly return to their rooms after the threesome.

    Goals for 0.2.3

    I thought that I might as well add my goals for 0.2.3 to this post, so here they are! I'm just going to concentrate on three main things for this version: adding substantial Submission content; adding slavery content; and finishing the last few things that were in 0.2.2's goals.

    - Add Submission content. (Special encounters for Imps and Slimes. Adding content for the Imp fortresses, Gambling Den, and Bat caverns.)

    - Improve the slavery UI, and add more jobs & interactions (winner of Patreon content poll).

    - Finish the spell system and add a few more weapons.

    - Make Zaranix & maids repeatable.

    - Add in a mod template for items, clothing, weapons, and sex actions.

    - Adding in the next stage of the main quest (earning an audience with Lyssieth).

    - Fix bugs and sort out github issues and PRs.

    - Get all of your comments answered here on the blog.
