Progress News

Hello again,

This is just a short post to let you all know how things are progressing and what my plans are for the next version.

This week I've been working on getting some bugs fixed and adding more of Nyan's content, and everything is progressing well on both of those fronts. However, I've listened to a lot of your feedback regarding the focus on Nyan, and so I've decided to cut her planned content rework short. My plan is to now add her content up to and including the encounter with her mother, and I'll leave the addition of her marriage content until after I've added a significant amount of Fields content.

Speaking of which, I should have Nyan's reduced content finished by the end of this weekend, at which point I'll move on to adding Fields encounters and the Elis map. I'm also planning on adding the next stage of the main quest, which will take place in Elis itself. There are a few other minor additions and changes I also want to make for this next release, so while I'm aiming to have the public release out by the weekend of the 6th-7th February, it will most likely end up being pushed back a little due to how much I want to get done.

I'll make another progress news post on Tuesday, 2nd February, by which time I expect to be working on Fields encounters. I'll give you a more accurate date for version 0.4's release in that post as well.

Finally, while I do really appreciate your comments, I would like to ask those of you who are insulting others to please stop. There's really nothing positive to be gained for anyone by insulting other people.

That being said, I'd like to thank the majority of you for your civil and comprehensive feedback, and I'll see you again soon!

Version 0.3.15 Progress Update

Hello again,

I've pushed my current progress to github and have released it as a preview build over on SubscribeStar. For this preview version of 0.3.15, I've mainly been working on the remake of Nyan's romance quest, which includes a new warehouse map and a new character. Her post-quest dating content has also been reworked, although it's currently in a half-finished state, ending just before her restaurant date starts. I'll definitely have it completed for the next release (which will end with Nyan marriage).

Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get a Fields encounter added for this preview, but there have been several other additions, improvements, and contributions, including a few new races by NoStepOnSnek, updates to Enforcer items and races by DSG, and numerous fixes by Stadler76 and AceXP. I'll get Fields content and the map of Elis added for the full release of 0.4, which will hopefully be out in 1-2 weeks from now.

I'll make another progress update post around Thursday evening, and if a hotfix is required, I'll get one pushed to github by then.

Thank you all for your comments and patience, and I'll get 0.4 released to you as soon as I possibly can.

---

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.

• DSG's Enforcer Item updates (PR#1490):
Updated Enforcer item files: deleted outdated comments; fixed typos; updated weapon effects to be applied via effects element.
Enforcer weapon effects are now applied on critical hits instead of by random chance.
Pepperball rifle and pistol now have new special attacks of 'Mag Dump' and 'Seven Rounds Rapid', respectively.
The Liquid Stun Gun's silly-mode effects have been moved into a new silly-mode variant of the weapon, which can be spawned via the debug menu's cheat spawn menu.
Added a test Enforcer beret with no sticker requirements to the debug menu's cheat spawn menu.
Updated Enforcer beret with some description text that was lost during sticker work.
• DSG's race fixes:
Race version 1.3:
Removed face requirements from wyvern, drake, coatl, and ryu subspecies weighting for improved support for lesser morphs.
Removed attribute scaling from the Breath Weapon special attack as it was already having damage boosted in damage calcuation, creating a double-dip. Base damage is now fixed at 75.
Removed ear requirement from coatls.
Removed face TF from wyverns and drakes.
Changed coatl tongue requirement to only require the BIFURCATED modifier.
Improved flightlessness detection in drakes and ryus.
Fixed incorrect year and formatting in the book entry for dragons.
Fixed typo in bear vagina descriptions.
Fixed gryphons spawning in with generic feathered wings instead of the correct wing type.
Race version 1.31:
Fixed three typoes in the dragon vagina TF description.
Race version 1.32:
Fixed similar typoes as 1.31 in the vagina TF descriptions for bears, ferrets, gryphons, otters, raccoons, sharks.
Race version 1.33:
Fixed formatting issue in the otter beverage effects description.
Changed Breath Weapon calculation, base damage will now scale with spell damage bonuses. Starting damage is now 20. Having either a dragon torso or dragon face will increase starting damage to 50. Having both will increase starting damage to 75.
Fixed feral coatls with a leg configuration of TAIL_LONG not being recongized as a coatl.
Race version 1.34:
Fixed dragon racialBody not having any tails listed
Fixed gryphon racialBody not having tail feathers listed
Added the feathered tail type to dragons
Added a missing ARM_WINGS_LEATHERY tag to dragon arm-wings
• Engine/Modding:
Added parser prefix hooks for muscle, body size, and body shape enums (using 'MUSCLE_', 'BODY_SIZE_', and 'BODY_SHAPE', respectively).
Added parser prefix hook for the DayPeriod enum (using 'DAY_PERIOD_').
Eye type xml files now support the 'tags' element.
Added argument to foot/feet parsing commands to ignore clothing when parsed during sex.
Added 'CHASTITY' item tag, which makes clothing with this tag apply the new chastity effect to characters who equip it.
Added an 'applicationLength' element to status effect mods. This enables you to define how long a custom status effect will be applied for if its application conditions are found to be true. If this 'applicationLength' is missing, the currently-used default value of -1 is used, so you don't need to refactor any of your status effect mod files to account for this change.
Added RESTING_LUST as an attribute, so any modded items or effects can now influence this.
Changed method signature for Sex methods: 'setTimesCummedInside()' and 'incrementTimesCummedInside()'.
Added 'newSexType(SexParticipantType, SexAreaInterface, SexAreaInterface)' method to the sex class (at the very bottom of the class file) so that there's a way to generate SexType objects from the parser (via the 'sex' object).
You can now define 'placeLocations' in subspecies xml files to allow for subspecies to spawn in specific place types. (See 'res/mods/innoxia/race/hyena/spotted.xml' for an annotated example.)
You can now actually leave 'regionLocations' and 'worldLocations' elements in subspecies xml files blank without throwing errors, as the comments said you could.
Added ability to define body hair availability to the bodyPart xml files: anus, arm, face, penis, and vagina.
Added ability to define subspecies names based on their leg configuration. Refactoring old subspecies xml files is not needed. If you would like to make use of this functionality, see the 'res/mods/innoxia/race/hyena/spotted.xml' file.
Also added ability to define subspecies silly-mode names. See the same file as above.
Added 'HAIR_NATURAL_MANE' as a body part tag for defining HairTypes as being naturally styled into a mane.
Added 'slotClothing(slot, coloured)' parsing command for parsing the name of a character's clothing.
• Gameplay:
Reworked Nyan's romance quest, which includes a new warehouse map and a new character. Nyan's post-quest dating content is half-finished, but will be completed for the next release.
Added 'cougar-morph' as a subspecies of cat-morph. Requirements to be identified as a cougar are: non-patterned tan fur, muscles of at least 'muscular', and body size of at least 'average'.
All chastity devices (cages and belt) now apply a new chastity status effect when equipped, which increases in intensity the longer the character continues wearing it.
Added internal map to Slaver Alley's bounty hunter lodge, and renamed it to 'The Rusty Collar' tavern.
Added public toilets to the Shopping Arcade, which you can use to wash yourself and/or use a gloryhole.
• Items:
Added: Women's trousers (feminine, leg slot, sold by Nyan).
Added: Gemstone necklace (androgynous, neck/wrist slots, sold by Nyan).
Added: Women's winter coat (feminine, over-torso slot, sold by Nyan).
Bandada can now be worn in the head and hair slots, and supports pattern recolouring.
Long-sleeved shirt is now unisex, and the colours of its buttons and tag can be changed.
Added more colouring options to men's and women's watches.
All glasses can now be displaced by being pulled up (onto forehead).
Made the three brown clothing colours less saturated, so they look less orange and more brown than before. Also slightly desaturated the tan colour.
Added 'dark desaturated brown' and 'desaturated tan' as new clothing colours.
In clothing/weapon dye screens, standard colours for the selected item now have a slightly lighter border, and the tooltip for each colour reveals whether it's a standard colour or not.
The 'Demonstone necklace' item is now sold by Vicky, not Nyan.
• Sex:
Added 'Stroke cock' as an ongoing self-action, which you can start/stop like other ongoing actions.
Added 'foot worship' actions (performing oral on a partner's feet). Available in the slots: Performing oral (in positions Standing/Behind desk/All fours/Lying down), Reverse cowgirl (for non-taurs), Missionary (for non-taurs), Scissoring.
Weighting of NPCs' choice to use foot actions is no longer partially based on the player character's fetishes, and is now only affected by the foot action content setting and whether the NPC at least likes the associated foot fetish.
Added more information to NPCs' 'Desires' status effect tooltip when in sex, so that you can now see NPCs' foreplay and main sex preferences.
Added 'Humping' sex slots to the 'Over desk' sex position.
Characters can now use their serpent-tail lower body to perform all of the usual tail sex actions. Serpent-tail girth is based on hip size, while length starts at 500% of height.
Stomach bulge descriptions are now appended when the penetration length inserted into a character's vagina or anus is greater than 12.5% of their height, instead of just when penetration lengths were detected as being uncomfortable.
• Other:
The five main horn types (curled, spiral, curved, swept-back, straight) are no longer limited to demons, and instead are generically available for all races who lack special horn types in the same way that feathered/leathery wings are.
Hyena, panther, and demon eyes now have night vision.
Rabbits, rats, and squirrels now correctly have plantigrade feet by default instead of digitgrade.
Removed the 8-hour loiter action and added a 24-hour action.
Resting lust increase from being vulnerable to an ongoing arcane storm has been reduced from 75 to 50.
Hyena-morphs now correctly spawn with vertical pupils instead of round, and panther-morphs spawn with round pupils instead of vertical.
You can now get your milk, cum, and girlcum recoloured by Kate at Succubi's Secrets, and you will no longer see covering recolouring options for parts you do not have (e.g. Horn covering colours will no be displayed if you have no horns).
NPC surnames are now shown in their name tooltip.
Updated home icons for Arthur, Zaranix, Desryth, and Helena.
Slightly adjusted penetration girth brackets.
Added indication of a serpent-tail's length in characters' body tooltip, and changed torso's 'Height' indication to 'Length' if the character is feral and their size is measured head-to-tail instead of how high they are.
Serpent-tailed lower bodies can now have their length transformed (either from the self-TF menu or by enchanting food items which have the 'serpent tail' leg configuration transformation available to them, such as snake eggs).
By default, only body parts belonging to mammal or bird races now support having pubic, facial, ass, and underarm hair.
Feral snake subspecies now have more accurate body-to-tail length ratios, and by default are now closer to 2m in total length as a result.
Added tentacle attributes to your phone's 'Body stats' screen and removed breast stats for if you're a feral which has no breasts.
Added subspecies' status effect attributes to their encyclopedia pages.
Nyan's Clothing Emporium is now open from 09:00-20:00 instead of 06:00-22:00.
Traders will no longer always sell/buy unidentified clothing for 50 flames, and instead will offer a buy/sell price that's based on the item's unenchanted value. Also halved items' value reduction from having a 'jinxed' rarity.
Added debug option to spawn an attacker of a defined race when on either a Submission tunnel tile or a Dominion alleyway or canal tile.
• Bugs:
Numerous parsing fixes.
Fixed issue where characters could have their location set to coordinates outside of the map's edges.
Fixed incorrect parsing in numerous footjob actions.
Fixed rare issue where characters would have unintended sex preferences after changing position.
The 'Frustrated' status effect is now correctly removed when the character under its effect orgasms.
Fixed issue with Kruger and Kalahari not spawning correctly as lion-morphs (and retroactively reset their bodies to their correct forms when you load into this version).
Fixed bug where numerous miscellaneous sex actions (including most of the sadistic actions and the 'pull hair/ears'-type actions) would never be available to use.
The 'transformationName' element in vagina body part xml definitions now works correctly.
Fixed bug where Helena would repeat conversation topics before you'd seen all of them.
Fixed issue with several incorrectly-gendered cock names (e.g. A male fox's cock being called a 'vixen-cock').
Fixed very rare bug where the game could randomly freeze for a turn when removing certain items of clothing.
Fixed issue where 'Present pussy' positioning action was available in gloryhole scenes even if you didn't have a vagina.
The size of the preview image when dying clothing and weapons now correctly fits into the tooltip's width.
Fixed incorrect colouring of some status effect icons (such as the icons for the smoking effects).
Fixed minor bug where ordering of attributes in modded race tooltips would be random.
Fixed issue where tentacle count was not correctly linked to leg count.
Fixed incorrect descriptions of height and serpent-tail length for feral characters.
Fixed issue where transforming into a feral wouldn't apply the correct leg configuration changes, which was leaving characters with tails where they should have had them removed.
Fixed bug where feral attributes of modded races were not being loaded correctly.
Fixed minor issue with feral Coatl not being described as serpents in some places.
Fixed issue with unintended subspecies spawning in the stocks at slaver alley (such as dragons).
Changing pupil and sclera colour in Succubi's Secrets should now work correctly.
Fixed issue where hair type was not being checked as being suitable for pulling or not in hair-pulling sex actions.
Fixed issue where non-harpy offspring could be encountered in the harpy nests.
Tail length percentages in the self-TF menu should now always correctly increment by 5%, instead of sometimes jumping by 6%.
Fixed issue where rat-penises were no longer spawning in with pale pink skin by default.
Fixed issue with feral parts on a half-demon (such as on taurs) always being referred so as being of a 'demonic-horse', instead of the half-demon's correct subspecies.
Fixed bug where name of nipples was being shown instead of name of crotch nipples, and added more randomly-generated descriptors to the list which nipples use.

A few more days...

Hello again,

While I've got quite a lot done for this next preview update (about 125 lines of patch notes so far), I've not quite made enough progress on Nyan's romance content to feel comfortable releasing it tonight. I'd also like to include at least a small Fields encounter as part of the preview, so with those two things in mind, I'll once again need to delay this release by a few days.

I think that what I've currently got done is probably already enough for a preview release, but I really wanted to get Nyan's romance content completed up to the point past going for a restaurant date (which I'm almost at). I promise that this preview really will be released by the end of this weekend, even if it's not completely up to the point I wanted.

Sorry again, and I'll see you in the next post in a few days (with the preview release)!

Progress News

Hello again,

This is just a small update to let you know that I've almost got enough done to make a preview release, but I just need a few more days in which to get some things finished off. I'll make another post on Wednesday night, and I'm sure that by that time I'll have the preview release ready. After that, it should be just a week or so until the full public release of 0.4.

Sorry about this small delay!

Progress News & Plan

Hello once again!

Since the last update, I've been working on a couple of main things for the next release. First of all, I'd promised a while ago that I'd make an expansion to Nyan's romance quest, so I've been getting a lot of that done. I've also been planning out the Fields encounters, as well as the stages of the main quest for the Fields and Elis (the town around which the next stage of the main quest will focused).

I'm going to get a preview of this next version released at the end of this upcoming week (probably on Friday or at the weekend), and then I'll finally get the public release of v0.4 released about a week or so after that. While there may be some unfinished parts in next week's preview, the public release should contain the finished version of Nyan's reworked romance quest, as well as a couple of Field encounters and the map of Elis. As usual, there will also be a few other small additions, alterations, and bug fixes.

I'll do my very best to get these next updates out on time, and I'll see you again in my next post (which will be the preview release post)!

P.S. I hope you all had a good Yule and New Year, and I wish you all the best for the year ahead.
