Hello again,
As mentioned in the previous post, I've managed to get the vast majority of bugs reported in v0.3.9.1 fixed for this preview version, and have also (finally) finished off the last placeholders related to the Rat Warrens content. I feel as though there are still some parts of that which could do with some polish, but I think I'll leave that until a later version.
I've also added support for (basic) item modding in this version, and I've got a lot of background work done for the character which I'm planning on adding as the last piece of Dominion content before v0.4. I haven't quite got that into a state that's ready for full inclusion into the game, so I've decided to call this release v0.3.9.4, and will release the content for this new character by the end of the week as part of an updated preview version of v0.3.9.5.
I'm also planning on getting a few more small things finished off for that updated preview version, which will leave me with just Shadow/Silence content as the one thing that I haven't managed to get added in time. I'll most likely push that back to a later version instead of delaying the release any further, as I know that the vast majority of you are eager to finally move on to the Fields content.
Anyway, this extra time I'm taking to get v0.3.9.5 finished off won't hold the public version of v0.4 back by much, as I'm still planning on getting that released within a couple of weeks from now (hopefully around the 8th September). I'll make another post here when I push the updated version of v0.3.9.5 to the github, which will definitely be done by Sunday.
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.
v0.3.9.4 Patch Notes
- Added an encounter in Dominion's alleyways and Lilaya's home's corridors where you stumble upon two of your slaves having sex with one another. To trigger, you need your slaves to have the appropriate outside/house freedom and sex permissions, and the one initiating sex needs to have not had sex for at least 4 hours and to be attracted to the other. (by PoyntFury)
- Improved String-matching utility methods and dynamically generated ColorListPreset classes. (PR#1368 by CognitiveMist)
- Fixed bug where sometimes multiple-partner sex would break upon orgasm. (by CognitiveMist)
- Added 'broodmother pill', which doubles offspring conceived during its effect. (Usage dialogue written by PoyntFury)
- Fixed a bug where having multiple arm pairs allowed an all-out strike with a 2-handed weapons. (PR#1384 by AceXP)
- Added average penis girth in the Encyclopedia information on races. (PR#1385 by AceXP)
- Prevented any succubus/incubus alleyway attackers from spawning with the 'Prude' trait, as it doesn't fit them. (PR#1386 by AceXP)
- Fixed issue where 'Arcane impotence' was being applied when arcane was lower than 15, instead of lower than 10 as it should have been. (PR#1388 by AceXP)
- Standardized all encounters to override getDialogues() instead of accepting Util.newHashMapOfValues() as a parameter. (PR#1389 by DSG)
- Added a new 'limited' option for the bypass sex action content setting, which allows you to perform sex actions of one corruption level higher than your current corruption. (PR#1391 by AceXP)
- Added 'wet wipes' item, which cleans the target's dirty inventory slots when used. (by DSG)
- Added 'peach' as a silly-mode item, sold by Ralph. (Adapted from PR#339 by Rfpnj)

- Added modding support for items. You can find a fully-documented example in 'res/items/innoxia/pills/fertility.xml'. Item modding will be expanded at a later date to support enchantments, but for now, the modding framework should be enough for most uses.
- Converted Combat from an Enum to a class, which can now be accessed via the parser using the command 'combat'.
- Fixed bug where Murk would always use the 'normal' dom pace instead of being rough.
- Fixed several instances of Murk's sex scenes ending with an action named 'Milking room' with no tooltip description.

- Added positioning requests to the 'glory hole' sex position for when you're dominantly using it, so you can ask the person on the other side to push their pussy or ass up against the hole to be fucked.
- Blocked 'Offer X' and 'Request X' actions in the 'glory hole' sex position (as they didn't really work due to the position's limitations).
- NPCs will now only self-use an item type once in sex (so you no longer have to repeatedly use pills on an NPC who wants to use the opposite type of pill).

- Split up Elemental dialogue into 'Interactions' and 'Management' tabs, and added a management option 'Self-clean' to set whether or not your elemental automatically cleans dirty fluids from their body/clothes (enabled by default).
- Elementals now spawn at maximum affection towards their summoner (this will be retroactively applied to your Elemental when loading into this version).
- NPCs who do not have the martial artist perk and who have a main weapon equipped and no offhand weapon equipped will now be far less likely to use the 'offhand strike' attack.
- The SWORD Enforcers in the Enforcer Warehouse (in Claire's teleportation quest) now prefer to attack in combat rather than teasing.
- If you have anal content disabled, the 'buttslut' fetish is no longer a requirement for unlocking the 'lusty maiden' fetish.
- You can no longer encounter the same person in the nightclub more than once per night.
