Version 0.2.4.5 Progress Update

Hello again everyone! ^^

As I made a release last Friday, I only had a few days in which to get this preview together, so, while I've got a lot of planning and preliminary writing for the slavery & Submission content done, I haven't managed to get it added into the game for this version. I'll be working on adding it all over the next two days, and will then get everything finished off ready for the full release on Wednesday. ^^

I did finally manage to get Lilaya's panty masturbation scene into the game for this version, which I'd promised to do quite a while ago now. I have a lot more content for Lilaya and Rose planned, but I'll get all of Submission finished before I get to work on that. :3

The next release will be the full public one (0.2.5) on Wednesday, 9th May.

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 0.2.4.5 patch notes:

Engine:

Optimised save files. In the ones I tested, file size was reduced by over 50%, and load times saw a similar decrease.

Added support for masturbation sex scenes.

Gameplay:

Added: Panty masturbation scene in Lilaya's room, with a couple of follow-on sex scenes.

Balancing:

You now need at least three spells in a spell school to unlock the related special ability.

Spell books are now consumed on use, and added to Lilaya's library. (This was to prevent buying a spell book, learning the spell, and then selling it, making it significantly cheaper than intended to buy & learn all spells.)

Made default bottled arcane essence slightly cheaper than the racially enchanted ones.

Clothing:

Added: Strap-on, and support in the engine for correctly treating a strap-on as an artificial penis during sex. (BDSM set, no femininity requirements, penis slot.)

Added: Toeless striped stockings. (Feminine, calves slot.)

Added: Tube top. (Feminine, chest slot.)

Added more tags for clothing, including ones for plug support. Added plug modifier to nipple tape crosses (prevents cum from leaking out).

Added fertility and virility to available clothing attribute enchantments.

Contributors:

Fixed typos in air elemental upgrades. (rfpnj)

Other:

Added '+10 spell points' to debug menu.

Improved some of the demon/slime transformation menu options. Added options for internal testicles, horn size, tongue length, wing size, and horn colour.

Added more options for horn pattern and colour.

Improved item, weapon, and clothing pages in the encyclopedia, and added preview images for items.

You can now re-read race books, but you only receive the damage/resistance boost the first time. This should now allow new characters to gain these bonuses, even if races have been unlocked by a different playthrough.

The 'vacuum' spell can no longer strip a person's piercings.

NPCs will only re-dress themselves once a day.

Vicky will now buy spell books and scrolls.

Tidied up Lilaya's lab dialogue flow a little.

Added a chance to overhear Rose saying some things to Lilaya when you enter the lab.

Added indication in slavery overview for approximate hourly income of milking jobs.

Bugs:

Fixed annoying bug where when inspecting NPCs, it would show a different, incorrect NPC's name/inventory on the right of the screen. (This should definitely be completely fixed this time. x_x)

Fixed Arcane elemental spell cost being extremely low.

Fixed dresses and kimonos that were parts of sets still blocking the leg slot.

Fixed the broken encyclopedia item view.

Throat wetness should now correctly save/load.

Typos, parsing, and incorrect clothing displacement fixes.

Fixed slime sclera and pupil recolouring not working.

Resetting spell schools now refunds the correct amount of upgrade points.

Fixed arcane storm timer (from Arcane spell school's unique ability) not working correctly.

Fixed Water spell school's unique ability (liquid TFs are free) not working correctly.

Being defeated in combat while your allies are still fighting will now correctly only give you the option to watch.

Fixed bug where there would sometimes be gaps in actions during sex.

Fixed some incorrect skin colouring on Rose.

Improved NPC removal method, which should help to reduce save file size and save/load times. This will be further improved for 0.2.5.

(Hopefully) fixed a cause of the bug where the game would stop being able to save.
