Another delay

I underestimated the amount of work that I had to do in order to finish this Lyssieth content, and as such, it still isn't ready. I will have to delay this release even further, and will simply release it "when it's done". I imagine that will take another couple of days, but as I am the worst person in the entire world at making release estimates, I won't give a fixed date.

I'm sure many of you won't care for excuses, but for those of you who want to know why this is being delayed a lot, it is basically just because I did not account for all of the different aspects that needed to be covered as part of Lyssieth's content. For an example of what I mean, earlier today I realised that I'd missed out Lyssieth's 'elder lilin' subspecies, the possibility of her or the player getting pregnant, and the necessary expansion and refactor of lilin/demon/imp offspring mechanics that goes along with that. She also needed special orgasm actions, repeat visit scenes, and then pregnancy reaction variations for those scenes. The lore-friendly demon TF also needs to be integrated into her content, which requires the removal of old demon TF items, support for transformative potion blocking, the demon TF scene itself, support for Lilaya reactions, Lilaya & Mhyralyss content related to this, another sex scene, and special demon TF variations and detection for the player.

I did not have enough time in which to get all this done, and I don't know how long it will take. I don't want to disappoint you all with yet more terribly-judged release dates, so I'll just say that there will be an update sometime soon.

Slight delay...

This upcoming release contains a major part of the main story, and, while I think I will probably be able to get it ready for a release tonight, I won't have any time left in which to properly proof-read or test it. I really want to make sure this release is smooth (unlike the last two, which were a little rushed and contained a significant amount of bugs), so I'm going to choose to delay it by one day to make sure that I have time to properly test and polish it.

That means that v0.3 will be out tomorrow night (Thursday 13th), about 26-28 hours from the time of this post. Sorry about this delay, but I really don't want to end up releasing another extremely buggy version.

Version 0.2.12.95 Hotfix

0.2.12.96 Update .95 had a bug where NPCs were appearing on random tiles. I've updated the download links in this post with .96, which fixes this issue. Unless there's another major bug, any further fixes will be rolled into v0.3.


Hello!

I'm so sorry about those major bugs in v0.2.12.9! In my (somewhat limited) testing last night, I only went to Submission, Dominion, Lilaya's house, and the Siren's citadel, so the game-breaking bug that was occurring when entering some of the other areas eluded me... x_x

Anyway, this hotfix should get it all working correctly again. Version 0.3 will still be out on Wednesday night! ^^

v0.2.12.96 patch notes


  • Bugs:
    • Fixed issue where random NPCs were appearing in tiles.
      Fixed your name being displayed as 'You' in your character panel on the left of the screen.

    v0.2.12.95 patch notes


  • Bugs:
    • Fixed major bug where entering a lot of areas would freeze the game.
      Exiting the citadel after beating the Siren now correctly displays the 'Enter' action.
      Beating the Siren now correctly removes Takahashi from the citadel. (Also retroactively removes her if you've already beaten the Siren.)
      Fixed desaturated youko tile icon still being coloured.
      Fixed (for real this time) the bug where asking Elizabeth about her uniform would lock you into that tile.
      The arcane revolver now correctly drains 1 essence when fired.
      Fixed issue where Fyrsia would appear in the other imp fortresses, sometimes in the place of the correct leader. (She will move back to her own keep once you leave/re-enter any fortress.)
      Fixed missing dialogue when entering Hyorlyss's pacified keep.
      Enemies no longer only use defensive spells in combat.
      Fixed numerous issues with clubbers in the Watering Hole - it should all work correctly again now.
      Fixed age preferences not being saved and restored between games.
      Fixed issue with changing Youko slaves' names.

    Version 0.2.12.9 Release

    Hello again!

    Just like the last public release (when I made v0.2.11.9), I find myself out of time, and still with content left to add. There were quite a few more bugs in v0.2.12.6 than I had expected, and so I had to spend a lot of time getting them all fixed. As a result of this, the Lyssieth & Fields content hasn't quite made it in just yet, but I will be releasing another public hotfix/mini-update in the middle of next week (most likely Wednesday night), which will have that content in it.

    As I really want v0.3 to signify that the new area has been added, I've decided to call this v0.2.12.9 (as you've no doubt seen from the title of this post). The hotfix update will be called v0.3, and, once again, will be out around the night of Wednesday, 12th. The updates after that will then be focused on filling in missing content in Dominion & Submission. ^^


    v0.2.12.9 Download Links

    Edit: Links have been removed, as this version was extremely buggy and broken. Please use version 0.2.12.95 (the post above this one)! ^^


    v0.2.12.9 patch notes


  • Gameplay:
    • Added NPC 'Elizabeth' - the guard at Lyssieth's palace. Also started to update her dialogue - this will be finished for an upcoming patch.
      If your save is from a version prior to 0.2.12.6, the imp fortresses will all reset, as several things changed from then to now, so it all needs to be reset in order to work. The imp citadel should also reset if you cleared it using the quick 'Clear' button in versions prior to 0.2.12.6.
  • Contributors:
    • Fixed classpath issue causing game to not compile correctly. (#981 by Alaco)
      Fixed Rental Mommy & Rental Daddy t-shirt errors, which was causing the rental mommy encounter to throw errors. (#984 by CognitiveMist)
  • Clothing:
    • Added colours 'midnight brown' and 'olive'.
      Added 'Lyssieth's Guard' set, which contains:
      Service dress tunic: Over-torso slot, feminine.
      Service dress hat: Head slot, feminine.
      Service dress skirt: Leg slot, feminine.
      Service dress shoes: Foot slot, feminine.
      Arcane revolver: Ranged, on-handed.
  • Other:
    • Humans, demons, cat, dog, wolf, horse, and cow-morphs now have a 1% chance to have heterochromatic eyes. (Before it was just humans, who had a chance of 50%.)
      Added more detailed messages to any negative affection changes at the end of sex.
      Added several new item tags, allowing clothing mods to define fuckable nipple requirement, arm/leg hinderance, speech muffling, discarding on unequip, and equip during sex.
      Also added 'SEALS_AREA' variations for the 'PLUGS_AREA' cltohing tags. Sealing counts as sealing the orifice without being inserted into it.
      The strap-on, anal beads, clover clamps, realistic dildo, butt plugs, insertable dildo, and strapless dildo can now all be equipped on non-unique NPCs during sex.
      Wearing clothing with a 'PLUGS_VAGINA' tag is now detected and influences the wearer's orgasm descriptions.
      In order to fix a bug, all characters now have surnames, with generic characters having randomly-generated ones. Surnames can be seen in the character view screen.
      Offspring now inherit their mother's surname. If your surname is blank, your offspring will be given a random surnames. If you change your surname at the town hall, all of your offspring will have their surnames updated.
      You can now change your slave's surnames in their inspection screen.
      Improved map rendering performance.
      Non-spectating participants in non-masturbation sex scenes now gain experience for the 'Pure virgin' fetish if they have a vagina, end the scene while being a virgin, and at least one of their partners orgasmed.
      Added arcane essence cost of using/firing weapons to their tooltips (if non-zero).
      Breast feeding part of the 'giving birth' scene is now changed to bottle-feeding if your nipples are inaccessible, your nipples are not normally-shaped, or you have lactation content turned off.
  • Bugs:
    • Fixed grammatical errors in several sex actions.
      Fixed parsing issues in Submission imp attack dialogue.
      Fixed parser errors in imp citadel content.
      Fixed issue where NPCs would sometimes get stuck trying to remove clothing during sex.
      Heterochromatic eyes will no longer be generated with the same colour. (Although you can still make them the same colour via Kate's shop or demon/slime transformations.)
      Fixed formatting error in eye descriptions.
      Fixed repetitive mouth-knotting orgasm description.
      Fixed incorrect descriptions of tests being performed on slaves in Lilaya's lab.
      Fixed error log being spammed by messages informing you that NPCs were returning null in some methods.
      Fixed rarity of unidentified clothing being displayed in the dye preview window.
      Friendly occupants will no longer get a job as 'an unemployed', and any occupants already affected by this in your save will start looking for a new job when you load in (unemployed occupants that have already moved out will get a new job).
      Fixed damage tooltips showing different values before and after buying a weapon from a shop. (When weapon is not held by you, tooltip now displays both the holder's and your damage.)
      Fixed issue where returning to a Hyorlyss's keep after gaining her key would throw a background error and softlock the game.
      Fixed issue where imps could be transformed to be taller to the point where they were classified as demons, and vice-versa.
      Added some error handling to catch the unusual case of an NPC's name being loaded in as an empty String.
      Fixed issue with rarity detection in clothing sometimes throwing a background error.
      Fixed issue with Jhortrax (the male imp fortress leader) not inserting dildo after combat loss sex scene. (Thanks to 'asymptote' for details on how to fix this.)
      Fixed issue where trying to open the debug menu in the main menu would throw background errors and break teh game until restarted.
      Fixed requirement of 'Tameshigiri' action in Jhortrax's imp fortress to take your weapon's modified damage into account.
      Fixed issue where saves wouldn't load into 0.2.12.6 correctly due to Youko surnames being blank.
      Fixed incorrect descriptions in alleyway succubus quick transform breast size tooltips.
      Fixed issue with some clothing items (such as the croptop) not concealing slots correctly.
      Fixed incorrect effects description of Biojuice Canister.
      Fixed slime encyclopedia entry not working.
      Fixed victory in Wolfgang & Karl's fight not dropping any items.
      Fixed bug where spectators in sex were using incorrect actions (which were being drawn from the available actions of non-spectators).
      Defeating the imps in the citadel now correctly sets the 'imps defeated' flag, resolving issues related to the youko still being in her laboratory, imps guards still being in the citadel, and the 'challenge' action remaining available.
      Added missing dialogue after citadel's imp defeat sex scene.
      Fixed a couple of issues with imp fortress's demon leaders not returning to their keeps.
      Fixed game freezing if you lost to imp fortress gate guards, or had sex with the gate guards, and were then thrown out.
      Fixed getting stuck when asking Lyssieth's gate guards about their uniforms.
      Fixed issue with clubbers spawning in the night club having their home tile being set as the very bottom-left of Dominion's street tiles. (This will also retroactively fix all clubbers with this issue.)
      Fixed item entries in the encyclopedia being lost between saves.
      Self-impregnations now count offspring as just mothered, not both mothered and fathered, in the pregnancy stats screen.
      Self-milking should now correctly take into account milking room upgrades. Also added stats into the milking room upgrades info to let you know exactly what the base maximum output per hour is.
      Fixed issue where assigning slaves to be publicly used could sometimes result in an NPC being placed out-of-bounds of the map, which would cause your save file to not load correctly.
      As a temporary fix to enslavement dialogue bugs, the imps inside fortresses & the citadel can no longer be enslaved. I will add support for enslaving them later, but for now, you can get just imp slaves from the tunnels.
      Duplicate arcane keys and key-chain necklaces will be removed when you load in to 0.3. Lyssieth's ring will also be removed, if it should have been.
      Fixed modded clothing using the new shortened equip descriptions format using the 'rough' variant in non-rough scenes, and vice-versa.
      Fixed issue where your companion would be counted as a submissive, instead of dominant, spectator when choosing 'Solo sex' after beating imp groups.

    Version 0.2.12.6 Progress Update

    Hello again!

    Sorry again that it's a little later than planned, but I've pushed 0.2.12.6 to the github's dev branch, which mainly contains dialogue for the siren's citadel. There are also some bug fixes and other minor things in there, although there are still quite a few bugs left for me to fix for Friday's v0.3.

    As well as fixing those bugs, I'll be spending this week working on adding Lyssieth's encounter, as well as a few other minor things. I'll also do my very best to get the map of the fields added, although there won't be much (if any) content in there to start with...


    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!

    ALSO IMPORTANT: Only the 'dev' branch of the github is updated to 0.2.12.6, with 'master' kept at 0.2.12. Make sure you build from dev!


    Version 0.2.12.6 patch notes:


  • Gameplay:
    • Added all dialogue for solo and companion scenes in the imp citadel.
      Added post-defeat sex scene for losing Siren combat. (There was a more involved sequence of events planned for this, but I didn't have time to add it - it will be added at some point in the future.)
  • Other:
    • Switched primary and secondary colours for tagged choker, and changed the icon's scribble to read 'Bound Bitch'.
      Female horses and reindeer now have a base ass size of 'large', and female cows have 'huge'. (This is randomised when NPCs are generated, so some will still have larger or smaller asses.)
      Increased base size of all race's female nipples, and additionally increased base size of female cow areolae.
      Improved race menu in encyclopedia, so that subspecies of a race are displayed in a sub-menu.
      Consolidated all elemental races into one 'elemental' race (keeping the elemental types as subspecies), and converted individual elemental damage/resistance to a universal 'elemental' one.
      Moved witch set out into res folder, added tertiary colour to witch hat, and added 'wide-brimmed' hat variation.
  • Bugs:
    • Fixed BDSM clothing set icon to be black instead of white.
      You can no longer escape from the boss fights in imp fortresses, nor the imp 'challenge' fight in the citadel.
      Fixed cause of tattoo tooltips being cut off at the bottom. (The tooltip formatting system is still a little buggy - I'll remake it at some point.)
      Fixed breast size in subspecies encyclopedia using the enum name for the description.
      Added some error handling for if clothing throws errors related to patterns not being present.
      Fixed issue with youko icons not having a background circle.
      Fixed imp damage/resistance attributes not working.
      Fixed imps sometimes giving birth to non-imps.
      Your companion now gets the same attribute boost as you do after winning the imp fight when using 'challenge' in the citadel.
      Fixed being able to start the imp challenge even after the siren had been defeated.
      Fixed issue with the citadel's imp challenge freezing at the end of combat.
      Your status panel is no longer minimised when acting as a spectator.
      Fixed issues with some unique NPCs not putting their clothing back on correctly after sex.
      Takahashi will now correctly deny orgasms during her oral scene.
      Fixed issue where dropping equipped clothing during sex wouldn't work on the first button press.
      The demon leaders should now correctly be in the siren's throne room when you get there.

    Slight delay on 0.2.12.6

    Hello!

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but while I've almost managed it, I'm still a few hours away from getting all the citadel dialogue finished for the minor v0.2.12.6 github update. It's getting quite late for me where I am, so I think I'm going to have to delay it until Monday or Tuesday night.

    The full, public version of 0.3 should still be out on Friday. Sorry about this small delay!
