Version 0.4.2.5 Preview Release

Once again, I'm really sorry for this version's long delay, as well for its lack of content; as I previously mentioned, I've had some personal issues going on over the past month, and as such I've found it very difficult to find time in which to concentrate and work on Lilith's Throne. I should be completely back on track for the new year, so I'll try to get back to a more regular release schedule then.

The main things added in this version are the characters in Wall's End, as well as a large contribution from AceXP that should significantly improve the game's performance for saves in which you have a lot of unmet offspring.

The next release will be either a small preview hotfix or the full public release of v0.4.3, which will hopefully be out in the first week of January.

Thank you all so much once again for your patience. I'll really try to do my best to make the LT releases in the new year fit to a more regular schedule.

Finally, I hope that you all have a happy Yule, and I'll see you again in the next post (which should be at the start of January)!



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.


v0.4.2.5 Patch Notes

Contributors:

  • Fixed issue where characters without vaginas would spawn with the pure virgin fetish. (by Maxis)
  • Implemented new way of handling offspring who haven't yet been met, significantly improving turn time performance and save file size in games in which you have a lot of unmet offspring. (PR#1622 by AceXP)

Engine/Modding:

  • Added new BodyPartTag values 'TAIL_ATTACK' and 'TAIL_VENOMOUS_STING' for future use in bee/scorpion/etc. tails.
  • Added several 'CAFFEINATED_' ItemTags for use in defining consumable items as being caffeinated (so that they can apply intoxication effects to spider-morphs).

Gameplay:

  • Added characters and basic trading actions for the last remaining shops in Elis's shopping precint, Wall's End. (More content for each store will be added later.)
  • Added a new 'raptor' race which includes the subspecies: falcons (default); eagles; bald eagles (converted from harpy race); and owls.
  • Added 'Raptor energy drink' and 'Raptor energy bar' as new drink and food items for the new raptor race.
  • Added a new 'mouse' race which includes just one 'mouse' subspecies.
  • Added 'Harvest Mouse's barley water' and 'Harvest Mouse's cheese' as new drink and food items for the new mouse race.

Clothing:

  • Added 'safety glasses' (scientist set, eye slot, androgynous, sold by Nyan).

Sex:

  • NPCs will now only use the orgasm denial action during sex if they have the orgasm denial fetish. (Previously, all that they needed was to have a positive desire towards that fetish.)

Other:

  • Changed references to beer and cider bottles to being on tap in the two pubs in Elis.
  • Changed Mintallys's Sunday milk flavour/theme from grape/purple to cherry/red.
  • Gave Amber a lore-friendly demonic surname.
  • Lyssieth's dominant and submissive sex options are no longer tied to her using her pussy or growing a cock, and instead you can request that she use her pussy or grow her cock for both dominant and submissive sex scenes.

Bugs:

  • Parsing fixes.
  • Fixed issue where you could use orgasmic level drain during bad end sex scenes.
  • Fixed (harmless) background errors being thrown when starting a new game, caused by failing to parse vagina types before the game had fully initialised.
  • Your offspring who have been incubated by someone else are now correctly counted as part of the 'Total offspring' count in the phone menu's pregnancy stats screen.
  • Fixed issue where you could ask Dale about Monica's milker before even having started Monica's quest.
  • Fixed issue with several attributes in xml-defined responses (such as for fetish/perk requirements, sex, combat, and trading), where the first definition of these attributes would be used for all subsequent responses.
