Version 0.3.7.5 Progress Update

Hello again,

Since the last update, I've got some bugs and other minor things sorted out, as well as getting the framework for Natalya's content added. I ended up once again adding more than I planned for this character, so all of the dialogue for her mini quest is very rough placeholders at the moment (and there might be some bugs). With this in mind, if you decide to build this version from github, then I advise only playing the Natalya content if you want to see the sort of things it involves, and waiting to do a proper play-through of it until the next release, when all of the dialogue will be filled in.

I expect the next update to be the full release of v0.3.8, which should be out around Wednesday, 13th May (unless there are some major problems which require a hotfix). I had originally planned for it to be out on Friday, but I really need some extra days in which to get things finished off.

I'll make another post on Friday let you know how things are progressing.
Update: I'll make the post on Saturday evening instead!

---

I package and release these in-between preview builds for backers over on my SubscribeStar, but anyone can play them at any time by building them directly from the public github (which is always kept up to date with the very latest version):
https://github.com/Innoxia/liliths-throne-public/tree/dev
(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!

ALSO IMPORTANT: Make sure you build from 'dev' branch.

v0.3.7.5 Patch Notes

Contributors:

Refactored and cleaned up code handling forced transformations. This fixed a few issues with forced transformations, such as your leg configuration never being transformed into that of a centaur. (PR#1255 by Stadler76)

Fixed bug where the phone menu wouldn't work in the SHopping Arcade. (PR#1328 by zR1OQicz)

Engine:

Moved all eye clothing and final hard-coded weapons into external res folders.

Outfit files no longer require clothing conditionals to be numbered, and can be called anything, so long as they start with 'clothingConditional' or 'cond'. (e.g. 'clothingConditionalMelee' or 'condDress' are now both valid conditional tags.)

You can now define multiple weapon types to be drawn from at random in one weapon element in outfit files (see mugger files for examples).

Gameplay:

Added framework of Natalya's content. It's all still placeholder dialogue at the moment, so only play through if you want to see the sort of content it has. The dialogue will be completely filled in for v0.3.8.

Random storm attackers will no longer force transformation potions on you if you lose to them. (As they are non-persistent, it didn't make much sense to have them apply partial transformations to you when they'd never get the chance to complete them.)

You can no longer pay off demon attackers in dark alleyway tiles (as they are only interested in sex, not money).

Characters can now have a 'heavy layer' of lipstick applied, which causes lipstick marks to be left on kissed body parts during sex. There is a content option to disable this feature in the 'sex' category.

Balance:

Dominion alleyway muggers will now only spawn with physical damage weapons, and will no longer spawn with pistol crossbows.

Submission tunnel attackers can now spawn with kerambits, opaque demonstones, and rough arcane feathers.

All imps in Submission now wear rags and carry weapons, not just the ones in the imp fortress tunnels.

Dominion dark alleyway demons now have their own outfit files and spawn with weapons.

Increased natural physical shielding of all non-Enforcer clothing items.

Buffed damage of most weapons (swords in particular have had their damage increased a lot). Increased value of most weapons.

Submission enemies now demand 500 flames instead of 250.

The +15 physical damage on the 'Daisho' set bonus has been replaced by +15 melee weapon damage.

Items:

Added clothing: 'Filly choker' (neck slot, feminine). Can only be obtained during Natalya's content (or spawned from the debug menu).

Added item: 'Arcane makeup set'. Can be bought from Ralph or Kate, and when used, opens the makeup application screen.

Renamed old Enforcer's shirt, shorts, and skirt to 'fancy-dress' items, to make it clearer that they aren't official Enforcer uniform items.

Added a sheathed icon for the Zweihander.

Added recolouring options for the shortbow.

'Amber's bitch collar' now spawns with the servitude enchantment (so you can't self-transform or unjinx it while worn).

Other:

Reduced reindeer and rabbit tail lengths from 15% and 10% of body height, respectively, to 5% and 7.5%.

Added an option under the 'Bodies' tab in the content settings to set how much smaller (or bigger) trap penises should be than normal.

The debug menu now enables you to change the number of your tails if you are a youko (which is also only possible via the debug menu at the moment).

Improved clothing/weapon/item tooltips in debug menu's item view screens.

Offspring encountered will now spawn with correct clothing for their background/race/location.

Increased number of essences NPCs will spawn with when they spawn with a weapon which requires essences to fire.

Added a 'Wiki' button to the main menu, which, like the github and blog buttons, opens a page in your default web-browser to display the game's wiki.

Spell efficiency is now listed under combat stats instead of miscellaneous stats in the phone's stats menu.

Improved demon alleyway encounter dialogue.

Added 'penile deflowerments' as a tattoo counter.

Added crit requirements to spell tooltips in the phone menu.

Characters who have their cum or girlcum milked in a milking room are now considered to have orgasmed, and so have their 'Frustrated' or 'Pent-up' status effects removed.

Half-demons with no human body parts are now counted as having a race-stage of 'greater' instead of 'lesser'.

Made some very minor improvements and fixes to Helena's date content.

Added generic 'leathery' wings as a counterpart to generic 'feathered' wings.

Demons now have a 20% chance to spawn with 4 testicles instead of 2, instead of 100%.

Slightly adjusted clothing slot positions in the UI (by swapping mouth-neck slots and moving wrists-hands-stomach slots around).

Increased Ralph's penis size from 20cm to 30cm.

Added 'makeup' screen to the debug menu's self-transformation menu.

The primary colour requirement for being classed as a Dobermann-morph is now either 'black' or 'pitch black', instead of just 'black'.

Bugs:

Parsing and typo fixes.

Fixed some incorrect paragraph formatting in some transformation descriptions.

Fixed bug where imps and demons would sometimes say they were trying to forcibly transform you into a demon, even though that's not possible.

Fixed bug where imp gangs in Submission would try to force-feed you transformation potions even if all the effects did nothing.

Fixed bug where masturbate action would always be greyed-out.

Fixed bug where a saved game would fail to load if it was saved in a state where an item of clean, sealed clothing was about to be dirtied on the next turn. (This was most apparent in the autosave immediately after losing to any of the imp fortress bosses.)

NPCs will no longer refer to fetish endowment potions by whatever name you've given it (as they logically wouldn't know what you've called the potion).

Fixed missing descriptions in quick sex for fingering someone's ass.

Fixed bug where 'Orgasmic Level Drain' was not working for the player character.

Fixed issue where NPCs would sometimes reset their combat moves to the basic starter moves without being told to do so.

Fixed bug in slave management where navigating from any of a slave's management screens to a sex scene would cause a background error to be thrown.

Fixed bug where slaves created using Helena's custom slave designer would not be able to have their age changed.

Fixed bug where NPC birthdays would end up being incorrect after saving/loading a few times. As part of fixing this bug, all NPC birthdays have been reset to what should be accurate values.

Fixed bug where newly-spawned NPCs would be a lot older than they should have been.

Fixed bug where setting forced transformations to 0% would still result in being forcibly transformed if you had forced fetishes turned on as well.

Fixed bug where if you tried to send a companion home while you had an elemental summoned you'd get stuck in the phone menu.

Fixed tails being treated as plural in parsing, even if the character with the tail only had one.

Fixed bug where if you failed to be chosen by Scarlett after acting as her servant (in Helena's nest after completing Helena's romance quest), you were placed in Scarlett's room and got stuck in Helena's apartment.

Fixed missing descriptions for receiving a blowjob from Helena in her store's back room.

Fixed rare bug during Lyssieth's demon transformation sex scene where the game could freeze when she orgasms. (Was being triggered by having her orgasm while fucking her and giving her a handjob at the same time.)

Characters no longer lose their penile virginity if they penetrate someone using a dildo in quick sex.

Being transformed into a demon now sets your horn length to 10cm, instead of leaving it as 0cm.

Fixed bug where actions outside of sex which had perk, fetish, race, or femininity requirements would not be available to choose if you had the 'Sex action bypass' content option disabled.

Fixed bug where speech would not parse correctly in tooltip descriptions.

Fixed bug where outfits files marked as being 'feminine' would sometimes be applied to masculine characters.

Fixed bug where randomly-generated NPCs would sometimes have a date of conception many years before their birthday.

Fixed issue where NPC forced-TF potion generation would be based on a slightly different body preference each time you met them.

Choosing 'Unequip all' during character creation now correctly puts the clothing into storage, not your inventory.

Fixed bug where you could clone earrings and other piercing clothing during character creation.

Fixed bug where horn type wasn't being factored in when calculating a character's race (so characters with just a unicorn horn, for example were not being identified as being a unicorn).

Fixed bug where if non-con content was turned off, you couldn't manually milk your slaves who were being milked in a milking room.

Taking a shower in Helena's room after sex will no longer clean all clothes in your inventory.

Kate now correctly sells items marked as being 'SOLD_BY_KATE'.
