Progress News

Hello again!

I'm sorry about how long it's been since my last post; I ended up getting a bit of a mental block while adding content, and so progress has been a little slow. As such, I didn't really have too much to say. It's looking like this update is going to take me a while longer, and so I just wanted to make this post to let you know that the preview likely won't be out for another two weeks.

Sorry about how long this is taking; I'm doing my best to get this next update done, and I'll make another progress post next week to let you know how things are going. Thank you all for your patience and support!

Version 0.4.7 Release

Hello again!

For this release, I ended up focusing on merging more pull requests from github, fixing bugs, and getting some other minor things sorted out. I feel as though the game should be in quite a stable state after this release, so for the next updates I'll be focusing more on adding content instead of making minor changes.

Thank you all for your support and patience, especially during the week or so that I was having computer issues. Starting tomorrow I'll be focusing on the next preview update (v0.4.7.5), in which I'll try to add at least one major piece of new content. I'll make a progress update post during this next week to let you know what date I'm targeting for the release, so I'll see you again then!


As always, you can also build these releases yourself from the public github's dev branch (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!

v0.4.7 Patch Notes

  • Fixed issue where you'd be unable to change your ass/facial/pubic/underarm hair values in Kate's shop. (by Maxis010)
  • Fixed issue where NPCs' 'fleshSubspecies' variable would unintentionally get set to Subspecies.HUMAN, even if it shouldn't be a human. (by Stadler76)
  • Fixed some incorrect daughter/son relationship references. (by Lio)
  • Fixed bug where stickers for clothing which fitted into multiple slots would not be initialised correctly. (PR#1733 by CognitiveMist)

  • Minor optimisations; Added ability to pay to remove prostitutes in Angel's Kiss; Improved several update methods; Racial tooltips are now hidden for characters who have their race hidden; Advanced race knowledge is now required to see racial status effect attributes. (PR#1731 by Maxis010 and CognitiveMist)
  • Added the same SVG zLayer, resizing, and rotation functionality to tattoos which was added to clothing/weapons a while ago - see the 'imageName' attribute in the 'res/mods/innoxia/items/tattoos/heartWomb/heartWomb.xml' file for comments on how to use the new functionality. (PR#1739 by NoHornyOnMain)
  • Fixed serpent-tailed coatls being named coatl-lamias. (PR#1725 by Stadler76)
  • Added 'feral' to litters when giving birth, viewing pregnancy stats or the offspring map. (PR#1723 by Stadler76)
  • Added support for loading character .xml files as modded characters (see 'res/mods/modding.txt' for information on how to use this). Also added a small 'shady trader' encounter to Dominion alleyway tiles which uses this new modding functionality. (PR#1716 by AceXP)

Engine/Modding:

  • Moved all 'Over-torso' clothing entries from being hard-coded into the external 'res/clothing/innoxia/torsoOver' folder.
  • Fixed the isHourBetween() method not working for time ranges which passed midnight.

Gameplay:

  • Astrapi can now be impregnated.

Clothing:

  • Skirts now need to be pulled up to access the 'thighs' area.
  • Improved method for determining which extra items of clothing need to be removed before an item of clothing can be removed, which should prevent issues where items of clothing were blocking one another's removal.
  • Improved tooltip for when unequipping/displacing clothing is disabled, so that it tells you which other item of clothing is responsible for preventing the clothing from being unequipped/displaced.

Sex:

  • The 'Automatic stripping' content option no longer causes spectating NPCs to be stripped a the start of sex.
  • Characters who are in the 'resisting' pace during sex will now correctly respond to an orgasm denial by using the 'Denied!' action.
  • When removing the seal on an item and then taking it off during sex, the auto-equip after the sex scene will now trigger the item's sealed state, thereby re-sealing it back onto the character.
  • The 'Customer approaches' sex action in Ralph's oral sex scene will now only trigger once every two turns at maximum.
  • NPCs will now only equip chastity devices on their sexual partners if they either like or love the denial fetish.
  • The 'Desires' status effect tooltip now always uses standard names for sex areas instead of random ones.
  • Character who are on all fours can no longer use finger actions on a character who's fucking them from behind.
  • Further restricted the desire of NPCs to equip condoms; they now only equip condoms on self/partners if their impregnation/pregnancy fetish is negative, instead of neutral or negative.

Other:

  • Slightly improved colours in clothing/tattoo UI.
  • The clothing types (such as sex toys and BDSM gear) which NPCs spawn with are now more randomly selected, which should result in NPCs spawning with a broader range of sex toys.
  • Encounters are now only checked for after the game has started (to prevent the need for !game.isStarted() in encounter triggers).
  • Added tooltips for colours to the 'Add tattoo' UI.
  • NPCs will now only spawn with condoms in their inventory if they have the requirements to equip them during sex (i.e. negative towards cum stud/addict fetishes, or negative towards impregnation/pregnancy fetishes).
  • Gave the name of 'peryton' to half-demon deers.

Bugs:

  • Typo, parsing, and formatting fixes, along with some minor text improvements.
  • Fixed bug in the self-transformation UI where the buttons that increase/decrease a character's udder/crotchboob lactation were setting the lactation based on the character's regular breast lactation.
  • Fixed issue where if an NPC's 'pet name' was 'Mr./Mrs./Miss X', it would not automatically change based on their femininity.
  • Slaves who are only wearing milking equipment will no longer be described as taking off their clothes prior to being inspected.
  • The imp guards for each of the three demons in Submission's fortresses no longer spawn with condoms/clothing in their inventories, thereby preventing them from interfering in sex scenes with the demons.
  • Fixed issue with salamander cum always being called simply 'salamander' instead of 'salamander-cum'.
  • Fixed inconsistency in dialogue when submitting to a demon in the alleyways of Dominion, where it was implied that the demon would be growing a cock even though they didn't do that.
  • Fixed issue where if you took someone home from the nightclub and you currently had slaves tending to your bedroom, you could end up having sex with a slave instead of the clubber.
  • Fixed issue where some of Ralph's unique sex actions didn't have titles.
  • Fixed bug where none of the buttons in your inventory would work during combat.
  • Possibly fixed an unpredictable bug where an action that starts combat would very rarely not work and require you to load a saved game to work properly.
  • Added missing tooltip for the 'Reset' action in combat.
  • Fixed minor issue in the main quest where Lilaya would sometimes not be present in her lab during Lyssieth's visit.
  • Fixed bug where Meraxis would sometimes be incorrectly placed in Lyssieth's office when loading a saved game.
  • The 'femininity' parsing command will now always apply the correct 'a' or 'an' determiner.
  • Fixed bug where dying a weapon that's on the floor while having an identical weapon equipped would throw background errors.
  • Fixed issue where at the start of sex in which there are X characters, NPCs' area reveal descriptions would be duplicated X times.
  • Fixed issue where the guards at the imp fortresses would always act as though they knew you were a demon even if you were appearing as a different race.
  • Fixed bug where self-equipping a condom during sex would give a description as though it was being equipped on your partner.
  • The sex actions 'Paizuri/Naizuri into mouth' and 'Thrust into mouth' now correctly check to see if the target's mouth is blocked by clothing when checking for availability.
  • Fixed bug in sex where it was possible for NPCs to equip clothing on the player or other NPCs even if the equip slot was involved in an ongoing sex action.
  • Fixed issue where enchanting an item of clothing which had name prefix or postfixes (such as '(flowers)' or '(blossom)' for the kimono) would duplicate the enchantment prefix/postfix.
  • Fixed issue where otters were having their hair covering set to otter fur instead of hair.
  • Demon attackers in the alleyways in Dominion are now correctly spawned with the 'mugger' background.

Progress News

Hello again!

This is just a short post to let you know that I've sorted out my computer issues, and that I'm making decent progress towards the public release of v0.4.7. I'm working on a lot of small things for this next release, which will include some new content, bug fixes, and other minor additions. I'm aiming to have this release out for next weekend (25th-27th), but I'll make another progress post before then to let you know how things are going.

Thank you all so much for your patience and support, and I'll see you again soon!

Version 0.4.6.7 Preview Release

Hello again,

First of all, I'm so sorry about how long it's taken me to get this preview release out. My progress was hindered due to feeling quite unwell over a period of a couple of weeks during October, and then after I'd got through that I started having some technical troubles with my computer (which still aren't fixed, but should be within a week).

So, as for what's in this version, it's mainly the merging of third-party additions from github, as well as some other minor things. I was hoping to get some Halloween content added this year, but after all that happened over the past few weeks I wasn't able to do this. I'll do my best to make it up to you by adding as much content as I can into the next (public) release.

There's also some new artwork in this version from FriendlyAlienFriend (https://twitter.com/thealienfriend) of Astrapi and Vronti.

As it's going to take about another week to get the issues with my computer sorted, progress towards the next public release of v0.4.7 is going to be slow to begin with, but I'll do my best to get it out to you in about 2-3 weeks time. For that release I'm going to focus on some content that I've been wanting to add for some time now, and so while the main quest is unlikely to progress, there should be a lot new content to see in it.

Thank you all for your patience, and I'll see you again soon!



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.


v0.4.6.7 Patch Notes

FriendlyAlienFriend's Artwork (https://twitter.com/thealienfriend):

  • Added artwork for Astrapi, including pregnant and crotch-boob variations. (Crotch boobs will be shown if your 'Crotch-boob & Udder Content' content setting is turned on.) Astrapi can't be impregnated at the moment, but I'll add pregnancy content for her for the next update!
  • Added artwork for Vronti.

Contributors:

  • Fixed a significant amount of typos and grammatical errors. (PR#1701 by Lis)
  • Significant rework and refactor of Controller classes, improved UI handling, and added a 4th +/- button to the fluid storage and regeneration transformation menus. (PR#1713 by Maxis010)
  • Fixed issue where subspecies changes for dragons, coatls, and gryphons didn't account for taur/lamia leg configurations when assigning minimum wing size. (by MintyChip)
  • Added 'banana' as a new fluid flavouring. (PR#1696 by DSG)
  • Added mythical 'salamander' race, with two subspecies; 'flame salamanders' and 'frost salamanders'. (PR#1707 by MintyChip)
  • Added 'panda' as a subspecies to the 'bear' race. (PR#1697 by DSG)
  • Balanced the flame value calculations for enchanted items, clothing and weapons. (PR#1695 by Maxis010)
  • Improved error reporting for parser state errors and improved the parser so that it skips svg files within the parsed input. (PR#1690 by CognitiveMist)
  • Added a specific flag to indicate the player's lilin heritage rather than just checking if they are a demon. (PR#1688 by MintyChip)
  • Added fetish selection options to sexual experience menu during the prologue's character creation process. (PR#1687 by MintyChip)
  • Added Java vendor and basic OS information to error.log to help improve troubleshooting. (by CognitiveMist)
  • Fixed grammatical issues in the alligator-morph's racial descriptions. (PR#1685 by Maymay)
  • Fixed a cause of the issue where NPCs self-equipping condoms would react as though someone else had equipped the condom. (by Maxis010)
  • Fixed bug where a character with an aquatic-tailed lower body would have their leg and feet equipment incorrectly blocked and unblocked, due to the wrong status effects being checked. (by Stadler)
  • Added 'latex leggings' (feminine, leg slot, sold by Finch, latex lover set). (by Sage)
  • Fixed issue with some buttons in Kate's cosmetics dialogues being unresponsive. (by Maxis010)
  • Made LT runnable directly on the most recent Java LTS (17) and created an automatic build and release pipeline to reduce workload using Maven. Also fixed several opaque elements which were supposed to be transparent. (PR#1684 by Tazze)
  • Added the ability to choose either the feminine or masculine Enforcer's uniform when progressing past Brax's stage of the main quest. (PR#1721 by Nonny5Mouse)
  • Enabled setting furry level for salamander spawns. (PR#1730 by Stadler)
  • Replaced an instance of a deprecated newInstance() method. (by AceXP)

Gameplay:

  • Added bad ends to losing combat against the harpy matriarchs in the Harpy Nests.

Sex:

  • Characters with a spinneret can now only apply webbing to themselves or their sexual partners if they have the related permission to manage their own/others clothing.
  • NPCs will now only equip condoms to themselves or their partners if they dislike the associated 'cum stud' or 'cum addict' fetishes. Previous behaviour was to equip if they disliked or were neutral to the fetishes, so this should reduce the amount of NPCs wanting to equip condoms.
  • NPCs will now only equip BDSM or latex gear onto their partners if they like or love the 'bondage applier' fetish.
  • If Meraxis doesn't have a fetish that's associated with her post-duel sex scenes, she will now end sex after she's orgasmed once, instead of when the player has orgasmed once, thereby always giving you the opportunity to influence her fetishes when she orgasms.

Other:

  • The 'Crotch-boobs & Udders' body setting now only applies to randomly-generated NPCs at the moment of their creation (as was stated in the option's tooltip), allowing all characters to gain crotch-boobs/udders via TF no matter the setting.
  • Added a new 'Crotch-boob & Udder Content' setting in the 'Sex & Fetishes' content options to enable/disable udder-related sex actions and udder transformations to be inflicted upon the player. (Enabled by default.)
  • Darkened inventory slot icons in the tattoo view panel to differentiate it from normal inventory view.
  • Added finer control over sex experience count in character creation and custom slave ordering screens, added anilingus experience, and made it so anal sex experiences are hidden if anal content is disabled.

Bugs:

  • Parsing fixes.
  • Fixed several rendering issue with the buyback menu.
  • Fixed issue where the women's watch in character creation had random primary and secondary colours.
  • Fixed bug where penile virginity losses would be reset at the end of character creation.
  • World and place names in the UI are now correctly parsed.
  • Fixed issue in the 'owned by random NPC' content, where when the NPC took you to get tattooed, the tattoo in the 'lower abdomen' slot would work fine, but the one in the 'lower back' slot would never be given.
  • Fixed bug in the post-fight scenes when encountering centauresses in Themiscyra, where sometimes Aurokaris would be identified by the game as being one of the two centauress attackers.
  • Fixed issue where unequipping clothing when multiple layers were covering the clothing to be unequipped would sometimes not work correctly. (This is likely still slightly bugged, but I will properly fix it for the update.)
  • Fixed issue where imported characters would sometimes fail to load in correctly.
  • Fixed causes of the issue where Dominion-alley-demons, cultists, Kate, and Ralph would react to self-equipping condoms as though someone else had equipped the condom.
  • The special 'beer barrel' and 'Hazmat Rat Vending Machine' clothing items will no longer potentially be equipped to randomly spawned NPCs, or show up as random loot in alleyway tiles.
  • Fixed issue where Rose's sex preferences would ignore your anal content setting in the sex scene after being discovered by her in Lilaya's room.
  • Fixed bug where molesting a slave who has the 'unwilling fuck-toy' or 'submissive' fetishes would cause an affection loss, despite the description saying otherwise.

Progress News

Hello again,

I'm sorry about how long it's taking me to get the preview update out, and for the lack of communication. I've not been 100% over the past couple of weeks, so progress on this update has been a lot slower than I expected. I'll get the preview out as soon as I can, which should be by this next weekend at the latest.

Thank you all for your patience, and I'll see you again soon.

Edit (Friday 4th): I'm having a PSU issue with my computer, so the update will likely be out on Sunday, as I'm expecting the replacement part to arrive tomorrow (Saturday).

Edit (Sunday 6th): I'm still having computer random restart issues, so the release will be another day or two while I continue to try to get this fixed. Sorry! (P.S. All of my current progress in on github, so you can build the preview from there if you'd like!)

Progress News

Hello again!

Since the release of v0.4.6.3, I've been working on merging PRs (pull requests) from github, as well as fixing some bugs and getting a few other things implemented. I still have more PRs to merge, as well as getting some third party content added, so the preview release of v0.4.6.5 won't be out for at least another couple of days. I'm aiming to get it released by the evening of Tuesday 18th at the latest, so I'll see you again then!

Thank you all so much once again for your patience and support!

Edit (Tuesday 18th): I'm sorry, but I've been unwell over the past few days and so haven't yet managed to get this preview release ready. I'll get it out to you as soon as I possibly can.

Version 0.4.6.3 (Hotfix) Release

Hello again!

First of all, thank you once again for your patience during this small delay. I suppose by now this is less of a hotfix and more of a lukewarmfix, but seeing as a couple of the bugs addressed in this release are potentially game-breaking, I thought that it was still worth getting this released rather than waiting to roll it all into the next preview.

As to what's in this release, there are the fixes for the major bugs, which were the one where slave pill permissions weren't working, the one where sex would never end when offered a pill while being immobilised, and a really game-breaking one where if your elemental had the 'Aura Burn' status effect, the game could sometimes throw multiple background errors and lock up when ending the first turn of combat (thanks to CognitiveMist and Maxis010 for fixing that one). I also made it so NPCs can equip clothing during sex, added some vending machines to Submission, applied transformations & changes to Meraxis/Aurokaris/Ursa during Lunexis's bad end, and made some other bug fixes and minor additions.

I did manage to get a few PRs merged from github into this release, which are mainly focused on bug fixes (by CognitiveMist, Maxis010, DuskitGalager, and MintyChip) and adding non-wing arms & back-wings to raptor-morphs (by DSG). I'll be focusing on merging a lot more PRs for the preview update, as well as (finally) adding third party content.

Speaking of the next preview update, this hotfix's release has put back its release date, which should now be expected around Friday 14th October. I'm hoping to get some Halloween-themed content added this year, so I'm aiming for the next public release to be out by the 31st at the latest.

Thank you all so much once again for your support, and I'll see you in the next post (which should be a progress update post early next week)!


As always, you can also build these releases yourself from the public github's dev branch (which is always kept up to date with the very latest version):

v0.4.6.3 Patch Notes

Contributors:

  • Fixed issue where combat would sometimes become unresponsive when your companion (most likely your fire elemental) was under the effect of 'Aura Burn'. This also addressed an issue where combat status effects were being added to all NPCs upon game load and not cleared until after that NPC had been in combat. (by CognitiveMist and Maxis010)
  • Fixed bug in the slavery UI where the Affection & Obedience gain/loss would randomly change to unrelated amounts on unrelated jobs when interacting with any buttons. (by Maxis010)
  • Added regular arms and back wings to the raptor race. (PR#1712 by DSG)
  • Typo fixes. (PR#1711 by DuskitGalager)
  • Set the leopard, snow-leopard, and tiger subspecies icons to use the corresponding icons. (PR#1708 by MintyChip)
  • Improved default critical hit tooltips and logic, as the default 'crit on third use' effect was a bit ambiguous and unpredictable. (PR#1706 by CognitiveMist)

Engine/Modding:

  • Moved hard-coded tattoo types out into the res folder (located at 'res/tattoos/innoxia').
  • Added ability to set default colours for tattoo mods (see 'res/mods/innoxia/items/tattoos/heartWomb/hear_womb.xml' for a commented example).
  • Added 'PENIS' and 'VAGINA' to ClothingAccess values, allowing you to define clothing as requiring access to the wearer's penis or vagina in order to be equipped (as the existing 'GROIN' value was not specific enough for these slots). If VAGINA or PENIS are defined as a 'bodyPart' in 'blockedBodyParts', these new values will automatically be added, so refactoring of clothing files should not be required.
  • Made several optimisations to save game formatting, which should result in quicker load times and smaller save files. (Testing a gigantic save file reduced size by 20% and slightly reduced loading time.)
  • Mod folders are now listed at the top of the error.log file (to assist in troubleshooting bug reports).

Gameplay:

  • Added vending machines to the entrance tiles in Submission, and added a vending machine discount card as an additional reward to completing the slime queen side quest (this is added to your inventory if you've already completed it when loading into this version).

Clothing/Items:

  • All BDSM and latex clothing now has the 'ENABLE_SEX_EQUIP' tag.
  • The tooltip for filled condoms now lists how much cum is in the condom, whose cum it is (so long as the cum provider has not been removed from the game), and what flavour/modifiers the cum has.

Sex:

  • NPCs will now use condoms in their inventory by equipping them on their partner's penis. (They will not use condoms if they like the associated cum fetish, like getting pregnant, or lack permission to manage clothing.)
  • NPCs will now be able to equip any clothing that's tagged as 'ENABLE_SEX_EQUIP' onto their partners during sex. This requires the NPC to be the dom, their partner to be a sub, and the clothing to not interfere with their sex preferences (i.e. NPCs will not equip chastity cages on their partner if they want to use their partner's cock). BDSM and latex clothing will only be equipped by NPCs who have a positive desire towards the 'bondage applier' fetish.
  • NPCs who don't have a positive desire towards receiving anal will no longer generate 'receiving anal' sex preferences, and NPCs who have a negative desire towards giving anal will likewise no longer generate 'giving anal' sex preferences.

Other:

  • Added tattoos to the debug's item view menu (as the final option, after piercings).
  • Applied transformations, clothing, and tattoo changes to all characters involved in Lunexis's bad ends to reflect what's happened to them in the dialogue.
  • Non-unique, non-slave NPCs will now generate condoms in their inventory (when time passes into a new day) if they have a penis or vagina, are neutral towards or dislike associated cum fetish, are neutral towards or dislike impregnating/getting pregnant, and are are neutral towards or dislike the giving or receiving penis fetishes.
  • The 'Multi breasts' setting now only affects the number of breast rows a character is given at the time of their creation, allowing characters to gain more breast rows via transformations regardless of what this preference is set to.
  • Having a 'massive' lip size no longer causes a character to have a lisp (only the 'gigantic' and 'absurdly colossal' sizes apply a lisp now).
  • When using a potion to transform the type of an NPC's penis, vagina, ass, breast, or crotch-boob, the NPC's affected area will be set as being known to you.
  • Training at Pix's gym no longer rewards you with potentially infinite physical perk points, and instead via training with Pix (unlocked after paying to become a gym member) you can earn a one-off unique perk.

Bugs:

  • Typo, parsing, and formatting fixes.
  • Fixed bug where even after 'tipping' enough to extend the opening hours for The Creamy Bakery to 07:00-17:00, it would still only let you enter between 09:00-15:00.
  • Fixed issue where newly imported characters at the nightclub could sometimes be marked as having already been encountered that day.
  • Fixed bug which was causing all of the slavery 'pill' permissions to do nothing.
  • Fixed issue where slaves would not properly end their jobs if the player was present in their tile either during the hour of their job ending or the hour prior to that. (This is what was causing milking pumps to sometimes remain on slaves after they'd left the milking room.)
  • Slightly improved tattoo tooltip height.
  • Fixed rendering issue where the 'ears' slot for tattoos would display as being blocked if the character had no hair.
  • Fixed bug where slaves in the shops in Slaver Alley would always be generated with a gender based on user preferences, instead of using a gender that's applicable to their shop.
  • The 'style.random' parsing argument now correctly trims whitespace.
  • Fixed issue where most groin clothing (i.e. underwear) would not prevent clothing from being equipped into/onto the wearer's vagina or penis (e.g. underwear would not block the equipping or removal of condoms, dildos, etc.).
  • Using the 'Quick sex' action now correctly handles condom effects from both partners upon orgasm, instead of only handling it if the sex type involved a penis.
  • The latex bodysuit and latex corset now require access to a character's wait in order to be equipped.
  • The 'Freedom Certification' item now correctly displays it as being consumed on use.
  • Fixed harmless(?) background error sometimes being thrown when setting a slave free.
  • After a slave has been removed from the game (such as when using the 'Freedom Certification'), the occupancy ledger should now correctly display events which involved that deleted slave without throwing background errors.
  • Fixed bug where filled webbing condoms would forget all attributes associated with their cum storage after performing a save and reload.
  • Fixed issue where using the quick-load hotkey would result in the game performing a quick-load twice, thereby doubling the time it took to load your saved game.
  • Significantly improved the time it takes to use the 'arcane offspring map', which should be noticeable in games where the player has hundreds (or even thousands) of offspring.
  • Fixed bug where NPCs in the harpy nests were not being affected by the effects of arcane storms, with the tooltip saying that they were too far away from it to suffer the storm's full effects.
  • Fixed bug in Lyssieth's demon TF sex scene, where if you had a penis and no vagina in the final 'sixty-nine' position, Lyssieth would not fully finish your demon TF at the end of sex, leaving you as a half-demon. (If you have experienced this bug in a previous version, you can use the debug menu's 'Race resets' options to turn yourself into a greater demon to fix it. Type 'buggy' at any point to open the debug menu.)
  • Fixed issue where if you were immobilised in sex (e.g. from being cocooned), and your partner offered you an item (such as a pill), there would be no actions to choose from, effectively soft-locking the game.
  • Fixed issue in some sex scenes where if the player's orgasms were being denied, then the sex scene would never end (e.g. sex scenes in slaver alley's cafes).
  • Fixed issue where the yellow highlighting which indicates that you have perk points to spend would not be removed if you opened and closed the perk menu via clicking on your name in the top-left of the UI rather than through the phone menu.
  • Fixed bug where loading a game which was saved in a version prior to v0.3.7.8 would cause a background error to be thrown when attempting to open inventories.
  • Fixed background parsing errors sometimes being thrown when loading a saved game (related to insufficient checks in the Vagina.setLabiaSize() method).
  • Transforming a character into a taur will no longer pass the 'short stature' cutoff, meaning that imps cannot transform into demons and vice-versa when transforming leg configurations.

Hello again!

Since the release of v0.4.6, I've been working on fixing bugs and adding some other minor content. I've still got quite a few bugs left to fix, but I should be done with those tomorrow, and then after that I'll (finally) move on to merging PRs (pull requests) from github. I'm hoping to be doing that on Monday, and to begin with I'll prioritise the PRs which are focused on bug fixes or other minor additions.

As there were a couple of annoying bugs in v0.4.6 (primarily the 'pills' slave permissions not working), I'm planning on releasing a hotfix after I've finished fixing all reported bugs and merging bug-fix PRs, which will likely be on Monday evening. After that, I'll be working on the third party content which I've been planning on adding for a little while now, and so that will be in the next preview update (which will probably be pushed back by a few days due to the hotfix release).

Thank you all once again for your support and continued interest in Lilith's Throne, and I'll see you again in Monday's post!

Edit (Monday 3rd): I still have just a few things to finish off, so the hotfix will be out tomorrow (Tuesday) evening instead! Sorry!

Edit (Tuesday 4th): I just need one more day! Sorry again!

Version 0.4.6 Release

Hello again!

Thank you once again for your patience leading up to this release. Sorry that it took a little longer than expected; the main reason for that was that there were quite a few bugs to fix, and it took me longer than expected to work my way through them.

Anyway, as for what's in this version, it's mainly focused on fixing bugs and adding some other minor features, such as tail ovipositor support and importing characters in the nightclub. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get started on merging pull requests from github or adding the third party content I was looking at, but that will be the focus of the next preview version.

Speaking of which, I'll aim to get the next preview update of v0.4.6.5 out within two weeks' time. I'm aiming for a release date of Friday, 7th October for it at the moment, but there will be several 'progress news' posts before then (with the first likely being later this week). For that version I'm going to be focusing on merging PRs from github and adding the third party content which didn't make it into this release. I'll give more details in the next post, so I'll see you again then!

Thank you all so much once again for your support and continued interest in Lilith's Throne!


As always, you can also build these releases yourself from the public github's dev branch (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!

v0.4.6 Patch Notes

Contributors:

  • Several typo and grammatical fixes. (by AceXP)
  • Fixed issue where demon x human half-demon offspring would incorrectly be generated as imps instead of human half-demons. (by Maxis010)
  • Fixed bug where keybind hints with pound or euro keys would not render correctly. (by Cognitive Mist)
  • Fixed some parsing issues in the body overview page. (by CognitiveMist)
  • Fixed bug where slaves with a newly-assigned job would not leave Slaver Alley immediately, and a UI bug where slaves' affection would not immediately account for changes in overworked status effects. (by Maxis010)
  • Milking bug fix where if you didn't auto-sell the fluids, the milking room added the value to your slave profits and then you could the sell the fluids for a 2nd payout. (by Maxis010 - This bug was fixed in the last release but not mentioned in patch notes.)
  • Fixed bug where random encounters could only ever trigger on the first tile travelled through when using the 'walk' fast travel options. (by Maxis010 and Lis)

Engine/Modding:

  • Added support for modded subspecies to define a pool of names for random characters of the associated subspecies to use. (See 'res/mods/innoxia/race/hyena/names.xml' for a commented example.)
  • Made a very tiny optimisation so that combat status effects are not checked during the update loop if the game is not in combat.
  • Added more 'SubspeciesSpawnRarity' values, allowing for a little finer control over how often modded subspecies spawn. (I also renamed the existing values, but the old names are all compatible with the new system, so no refactoring is necessary.)
  • Added a new 'unique' attribute to the 'availabilityRequirements' element in tattoo mod files, allowing you to define tattoos as being unique (thereby preventing them from being given to randomly-spawned NPCs).
  • If debug mode is on, you can now see the contents of the 'Empty' map region in the phone's map pages.
  • Added an 'elementalsAreAllies' attribute to combat responses in modded dialogue nodes, allowing you to set whether or not the player's elemental joins in on a fight.

Gameplay:

  • Added ability to import characters as either dominant or submissive partners in Dominion's nightclub, 'The Watering Hole'.
  • Added a small amount of content to the cafes in Slaver Alley to make them a little more interesting.
  • Added the final bad end content for Lunexis in the Amazons' camp.

Combat:

  • The 'Horn headbutt' and 'Antler headbutt' combat moves now critically strike if the attacker is at least 50% taller than the target, and have had their 'dazed' status effect application reduced from 3 to 2 turns.
  • The 'Tail swipe' combat move now critically strikes when the attacker's tail has a girth of at least 'thick', and has had its 'dazed' status effect application reduced from 3 to 2 turns.
  • All combat moves derived from body parts (such as 'tail swipe', 'horn headbutt', 'savage attack', etc.) now apply critical damage in the same way that normal attacks do when critically hitting their target.

Sex:

  • The ovipositor ability for appropriately-transformed penises and clits is no longer tied to an orgasm action, and instead a 'Lay eggs' action is now always available whenever the conditions for laying eggs in an orifice are met.
  • Added support for tails to act as ovipositors, and added a 'demonic ovipositor' tail type which can use this new functionality. (Tail ovipositors additionally now enable you to lay eggs in yourself.)
  • You no longer need an egg-laying vagina type to lay eggs via an ovipositor in sex. (While you do still need to be pregnant to use this ability for now, I am planning on adding functionality for laying unfertilised eggs in a future update.)
  • Characters now prioritise unequipping their clothing into their inventory instead of onto the floor, which should help to prevent the issue of clothing being lost into the void when unequipped onto the floor of a cell that already had a full inventory.

Other:

  • Enabled the use of the 'Stop watching' action in the 'Spy on them' Lilaya x Rose voyeurism scene.
  • Randomly-generated NPCs now have a chance to spawn with tattoos.
  • Improved the visibility of the player icon on the minimap by giving it a slightly darker border.
  • The 'Controlled Aggression' perk (from choosing the soldier background) now applies a 1-turn status effect at the start of combat to make it more obvious that the double damage effect is only lasting for the first turn of combat.
  • Improved the way that bimbo talk is applied to characters' dialogue; repeat phrases are no longer generated (such as 'like, like'), sentences ending in '?!' are handled correctly, and odd word replacement at comma locations has been fixed.
  • You can now teleport out of the Amazons' camp, but still cannot teleport into it.
  • Slightly reduced the min/max diameter comfort range of orifice capacities so as to better align them with the recent reductions to penetration girth values.
  • Renamed the 'drill hair' style to 'ojou ringlets'.
  • The player's elemental is no longer involved in the 'Meraxis duel' and 'Aurokaris sparring' fights.
  • Added 'broodmother pill' as a new slave permission setting, and renamed the pills category from 'pregnancy' to 'pills'.
  • Added a new 'pregnancy' slave permission category, which has settings for allowing birth, allowing egg laying, and consuming mother's milk (to speed up pregnancy).

Bugs:

  • Typo & grammatical fixes.
  • Ursa no longer hates the 'penis receiving' fetish, to fix issues where she'd react with disgust towards the player during sex even though she initiated sex with you.
  • Fixed issue where you could change positions in Ursa's sex scene.
  • Fixed 'honey bread', 'popcorn', and 'berry soda' items not restoring the correct amount of health/mana that was stated in their descriptions.
  • When starting a new game with an imported character who already has a weapon equipped, the demonstone that you gain at the start is now added to your inventory instead of being equipped.
  • The 'Clit attention' sex action can now correctly be used while receiving cunnilingus.
  • Fixed issue where permanent combat status effects would get a negative turn count at the bottom of their tooltip.
  • Fixed background error sometimes being thrown when no encounter could be found for a tile.
  • Fixed issue where skin colour preferences would not be applied to some randomly-generated characters, such as those spawned via the debug menu's 'spawn attacker' action.
  • Fixed bug in sex scenes where NPCs who hate the masturbating fetish would get stuck at 100 arousal and never orgasm if they were in a spectator slot.
  • After characters have had their clothing placed in the 'holding inventory' and then restored (such as after bathing in the spa), the 'holdingClothing' element in their save files will now be cleared.
  • Using the debug menu to obtain a slaver license now correctly completes all stages of the associated side quest, granting you the slaver license item in the process.
  • Using the debug menu to skip Dominion quests now correctly also completes the slaver license side quest (the completion of which is required to be able to obtain Scarlett from Helena).
  • Characters on all fours in the 'all fours' sex position can no longer use 'hand to upper-torso' interaction with characters kneeling behind them, and also can no longer cum onto the groin of the person behind them.
  • Fixed bug where if a character had a fetish via wearing enchanted clothing, they'd be permanently granted that fetish if they gained a fetish experience level while wearing the clothing.
  • Removed incorrect reference to Brax having bleach-blonde hair during his Brandi transformation scene.
  • In the stats screen, the 'Physical shielding' stat now correctly takes into account how much physical shielding has been gained via clothing and weapons.
  • In sex scenes, immobilised characters who have their orgasms denied now correctly have access to the 'Denied!' action, allowing them to be repeatedly denied without having to release and then re-immobilise them.
  • Fixed incorrect health restoration values for Raptor energy bar, Vodka, Two-Tone Slushie, Fish and Chips, and Ink Vodka.
  • The 'Power of Suggestion' upgrade to the 'Telepathic Communication' spell now correctly lists the affected combat move as 'Tease', and also correctly applies the negative status effect for 2 turns on the target as stated, instead of 3.
  • Fixed bug where after having sex with Oglix, you could teleport into her room and as such explore the VIP area.
  • Fixed issue where the option to decline sex with Oglix after flirting with her was not being displayed, effectively forcing you to always have sex with her after flirting.
  • Fixed bug where if you'd completed the 'Angry Harpies' quest (to pacify the harpy nests), harpies would no longer attack you in the nests during a storm.
  • Fixed issue where threesome sex after beating Enforcer patrols would put one of the Enforcers in a spectator slot instead of an active sex slot.
  • Fixed issue where Lunexis and Aurokaris would remain in Minotallys' office after the Themiscyra quest was completed (if Aurokaris and Lunexis are stuck in the town hall in your save, it will be fixed when loading into this version).
  • Corrected numerous instances of sex scenes wich start with you choosing to 'Submit' being tagged as being non-consensual.
  • Fixed several instances of measurement descriptions not taking into account your imperial/metric preferences.
  • Fixed issue where critically-hitting combat moves would not apply their status effects.
  • Fixed the description at the start of slave sex where slaves were described as being forced to crawl everywhere when they didn't have that permission set and vice-versa.
  • Fixed bug where if you tried to move a slave to a new room before an hour had passed since loading your game, the slave wouldn't be moved to the room.
  • Attribute values are no longer rounded up for display in the UI, which should fix some incorrect readings, such as when in sex arousal could display as 100 even if the character was not yet ready for orgasm.
  • The racial book for the deer race is now called 'Harts and Hinds' instead of sharing 'Bleating Headbutters' with the goat race.
  • The offspring map can now only be used in empty tiles, thereby preventing you from spaning an offspring on a tile that's aleady taken by a randomly-generated NPC.
  • The offspring map now works during daytime in Elis's alleyways.
  • Aurokaris's 'breasts' and 'ass' ambrosia tasting scenes now use the correct sex positions.
  • Dog-morphs will no longer spawn with 'fluffy' fur (although they can still transform their fur to be 'fluffy' afterwards) to prevent them from accidentally spawning as samoyed-morphs.
  • Fixed bug where arcane storm effects would not be applied correctly, resulting in NPCs from Elis never being vulnerable to arcane storms, even if they were brought over to Dominion.
  • Fixed issue where you could still choose to be vaginally trained as a cock-sleeve in Lunexis's bad end if you didn't have a vagina.

More Progress News

Hello again!

Since my last post, I've been working on fixing more bugs, improving the café content in slaver alley (as I got distracted after seeing how bare-bones it was), and getting a few other minor things done. I haven't yet started on getting pull requests merged from github, and as I really wanted to get several of those done for the next release, I'm not going to be able to get the release out tomorrow. Instead, I'll try to get it out to you by the end of this weekend.

Sorry about this small delay, and thank you for your patience! There's nothing major in the works that'll cause any significant delay, so this next public release of v0.4.6 should be out by the end of the weekend, or at the very latest, just a couple of days after that. I'll make another post by the end of the weekend, even if it's not quite ready by then, so I'll see you again then!

Edit (Sunday evening): I've almost finished, but there are still a few more bugs that I need to fix. I'm not going to be able to get it all done tonight, but I should definitely be able to get this next version released tomorrow evening (Monday 26th)! Thank you for your patience, and sorry about this last small delay!

Thursday 15 September 2022

Progress News

Hello again, this is just a small progress post to keep you updated on what I'm working on.

So, since the preview release, I've been working on fixing bugs, adding tail ovipositor support, and getting several other minor things added. I'm planning on getting more bugs fixed over the next few days, after which I'm going to focus on getting pull requests merged from github, and then adding some other third party content that's been on the todo list for a while.

I'm still planning on getting the next public update (v0.4.6) released by next Friday, 23rd, although as with all of my release estimates, this may change. I'll make another post around the middle of next week to let you know how things are going, and I'll give you an updated release date estimate then.

Thank you all so much once again for your support, and I'll see you again soon!

Version 0.4.5.5 Preview Release

Hello again,

Sorry about how long this version was delayed for; I ended up running into some issues with getting the content added for the Amazons' camp (mainly struggling to get the writing done), which is what caused most of this delay. Anyway, I've finally managed to get it finished, and I'm going to slightly change how I work on things for future updates, which should hopefully prevent a delay like this from occurring again.

As for what's in this release, there's new Nyan art from a new artist, Davyn, which I've attached to the bottom of this post. Davyn's twitter can be found here: https://twitter.com/davyndraw. There's also the aforementioned content for the Amazons' camp, a new deer race, bug fixes, and a few other minor things included in this version. There is an alternate bad end route planned for Lunexis's content in the Amazons' camp, but I didn't quite have time to get the writing for it finished off, so I'll get that done for the next version.

Speaking of the next version, it's likely to be focused on bug fixes, PR merging, and some minor content addition, but I'll give you a full update on what exactly I'm planning for it in a 'progress post' some time early-mid next week.

Thank you all so much once again for your support and patience, and I'll do my very best to get this next public update out to you in a more reasonable timeframe. I'll see you again in the next post, which as mentioned above, should be some time early-mid this next week. See you then!



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.


v0.4.5.5 Patch Notes

Artwork:

Contributors:

  • Fixed bug where the game would freeze and break when having sex with a slave in a milking room while all of your milking rooms were full. (by Maxis010)
  • Fixed two related bugs where items (such as enchanted elixirs) would not stack correctly after saving/reloading, and where one or more of these separate stacks would disappear upon another save and reload. (by Maxis010)
  • Fixed bug where the 'In Control' perk (from the 'teacher' background) would triple negative obedience changes instead of just the positive changes as the job describes, and also fixed issue where changes would be tripled twice. (by Maxis010)
  • Fixed issue where you could encounter a softlock when accessing your phone or options menus while in the 'Set alarm' dialogue. (by Cognitive Mist)
  • Tracked down numerous elusive bugs. (by Maymay)
  • Fixed an issue where if you saved an elemental transformation preset then the TF preset menu would crash with a null pointer. (by Maxis010)
  • Fixed issue where the game could potentially get stuck in a loop when exiting the Unit Preferences menu. (by Maxis010)
  • Fixed bug where removing an NPC who had summoned their elemental would cause games that are saved after that to crash upon being loaded. (by Cognitive Mist)
  • Fixed issue with incorrectly defined dialogue IDs in Lunexis's bad end scenes. (by AceXP)

Maxis010's 'Milk Tax' Contribution (PR#1626):

  • Affection gains for overworked slaves have been reduced.
  • Base value of milk, cum, and girlcum are no longer affected by fluid modifiers or flavours, resulting in a potentialyl significant decrease in the amount of money that can be earned from milking slaves.
  • Affection gains via fetishes from being milked now correctly account for whether it's milk or cum that's being milked.
  • Fixed issue where milk slaves' clothing could potentially be duplicated.
  • Increased upkeep costs for all milk room upgrades.

Engine/Modding:

  • Added new item tag, 'ELIS_ALLEYWAY_SPAWN' and 'ALL_AREAS_SPAWN', which mark items/weapons/clothing as being able to randomly spawn in encounters in the Foloi Fields and in every area of the game, respectively.

Gameplay:

  • Added content for the Amazons' camp in Elis (which appears after completing the Themiscyra section of the main quest).
  • Added 'deer' as a race, with associated drink, 'Glade Springs', and food, 'Tree Shoots Salad'.

Body:

  • Added diameter value to the 'Penis Length', 'Clitoris Length', and 'Tail Length' elements in the transformation menu.
  • Added value of expelled cum to the 'Cum Expulsion' element in the transformation menu.
  • Cum expulsion values which correspond to 'large', 'huge', 'extreme', and 'monstrous' cum storage values now dirty 1, 2, 4, and 8 additional inventory slots of targeted characters during orgasms.
  • When transforming a character's leg configuration into 'quadrupedal', 'arachnid', or 'avian' from any of the other configurations, that character will gain 33% extra height (the 33% increase is reverted when transforming the other way).

Combat:

  • Added 'cycle target' and 'clear target' actions to the 'Commands' tab in combat, giving you control over who your allies are targeting.

Sex:

  • Any body areas or clothing which are dirtied by cum upon a targeted orgasm are now appended to the orgasm description.
  • Any body areas or clothing which are dirtied by squirting when the orgasming character's vagina is concealed, or when a parter is performing cunnilingus on them, are now appended to the orgasm description.
  • Added a minor variation to orgasm descriptions for when a squirting character is being penetrated.
  • Using the 'Unequip all' action in sex will no longer unequip condoms.
  • The 'object of desire' perk's effect to make participants in sex need an extra orgasm before being satisfied no longer stacks when multiple participants have this perk, and the effect is no longer applied from spectators.

Other:

  • Added the option to take either the dominant or submissive role in the sex scene in the museum during the prologue.
  • Added an extra pre-fight option for the Lunexis encounter in Themiscyra, which allows you to skip the fight and avoid the negative affection hit with Ursa, Aurokairs, and Meraxis if you have the 'sacrificial shielding' perk equipped.
  • Improved wording in the description of the 'controlled aggression' perk to make it clear that your damage is doubled only during the first turn of combat.
  • If you have quicksaved at least once, the quickload feature will now load the last quicksave you made, instead of the quicksave which matches your character's current name.

Bugs:

  • Typo and parsing fixes.
  • The information icons in the fetish preference options page now correctly display tooltips when moused over.
  • Reducing cum storage via the TF menu now correctly reduces the character's currently stored cum value to the new maximum.
  • When being transformed into a demon, all relevant 'Elder lilin's power' perks will now be upgraded into their demonic versions, not just Lyssieth's.
  • Fixed bug in the 'defeated by raiders' scene in Thymescria, where the raiders would fuck you and Aurokaris without first growing cocks before the scene started.
  • Aurokaris now correctly starts sex scenes with raiders in the 'resisting' pace (unless non-con is turned off).
  • The raiders in Themiscyra will now correctly end the sex scene as soon as they're satisfied, instead of waiting to satisfy you and Aurokaris before ending it.
  • Fixed issue in combat where NPCs would sometimes target combatants who had already been defeated.
  • Fixed bug where orgasming in Lilaya's sex scene while wearing a condom would result in your orgasm actions being unresponsive.
  • Fixed bug where fetish combat moves would be unequipped during sex scenes if any sex action related to the fetish was performed.
  • Tattoos with a 'none' icon type will no longer incorrectly state that they're 'primarily coloured grey' in the selfie/character page description.
  • Fixed issue where offspring would be born with randomly-coloured eyes, hair, and other coverings, instead of having thse colours inherited from their parents.
  • Removed the ability to fly in the demon fortresses in Submission to prevent an issue where you could fly past Meraxis and take her gear before encountering her.
  • In the custom slave ordering screen (from Helena after completing her quest), parts of the slave's body are no longer concealed during the final character overview.
  • Fixed bug where milk slaves would not identify a milking room as being free if you were standing in it and there were already 7 other characters present.
  • Fixed bug where slaves would move between milking rooms during their job hours, instead of remaining in the same room for the duration of their work.
  • Fixed issue where racial items were not being marked as being available to be found in 'item found' encounters.

Friday 9 September 2022

Just... 24... More Hours...

I've almost got this preview release ready, and I know that I said I'd get it out today even if there were placeholders, but I've left it so late that I'm feeling completely exhausted and so unable to do a thorough check for bugs. I'm going to have to take another 24 hours to get it finished off, and I really do promise that it won't be any later than that! Thank you again so much for your patience, and it really is almost there now!

Progress News

Hello again,

I'm sorry about how long it's taking me to get this preview release ready; I've lost a lot of time to reworking and tweaking the Amazons' Camp content, and I've only just (finally) got it into a state that I'm happy with. After this rework (in which I added more content for Aurokaris and another route into Lunexis's bad end), I've now got some more writing to do, so the preview release will be just a little longer. I'm going to release it this Friday, 9th at the very latest, even if there are still placeholders (although there really shouldn't be).

Thank you all so much for your patience, and I'm sorry about the length of time since my last post; I just wanted to really make sure that I had all the content in its final state before giving you another progress update. I'll see you again for the preview release on Friday!

Sunday 28 August 2022

Another delay...

Hello again,

Unfortunately, I've still got some stuff left to finish off before I can get this preview version into a state that's ready for release. I'll do my very best to get it out as soon as I possibly can, but it's looking like it'll be another few days. I'm really sorry about this, and thank you for your patience!

Thursday 25 August 2022

Progress News (small delay)

Hello again!

This is just a short post to let you know that I'm still working on getting the content for the Amazons' Camp added at the moment, and it's looking like I'll need another couple of days to get the writing finished off. As such, the preview version of v0.4.5.5 will now be released at the end of this weekend instead of tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience, and I'll do my very best to make sure that there's no further delay! See you again very soon!

Thursday 18 August 2022

Progress News

Hello again!

This is just a small post to keep you all updated on my current progress, as well as to outline what I've got planned for the v0.4.5.5 (Preview) and v0.4.6 (Public) releases.

So, since the release on Friday, I've been focused on fixing bugs and adding some more functionality to a couple of the game's systems. I'm going to continue focusing on bug fixes tomorrow, and then over the weekend I'm going to get the deer race added, as well as adding the framework for the Amazon camp. Then next week I'll be focusing on writing Amazon camp content and adding a few other extra things in time for the preview's release.

After the preview, I'm planning on adding the next stage of the main quest for the public release of v0.4.6. That will likely end up taking me a couple of weeks, so there might be an additional preview update between v0.4.5.5 and v0.4.6 so that I can get the framework released and tested before the public release.

Thank you all so much once again for your continued (or new) interest in Lilith's Throne! I'll make another post before the preview release next week to let you know how things are going, so I'll see you again then!

Friday 12 August 2022

Version 0.4.5 Release

Hello again,

As mentioned in the previous post, this update is the public release, and contains bug fixes, minor additions, and the filling in of placeholders which were in the Themiscyra main quest content. This release is really just to polish things off that were introduced in the last two preview versions. I'll be adding more new content in the next preview and public releases, which I'll talk more about in the next progress update post (which should be posted early next week).

I'm aiming to have the next preview version released two weeks from now, which will take us to Friday, 26th August. As usual, that release date is just an estimate, and it may take a little longer than that (or maybe shorter for once?), depending on how much content I add into it. I'll try to do the same as with this version for the next public release, and make it a quick bug-fixing/polishing release after the preview version has been released.

Finally, once again, thank you all so much for your patience and support, and I'll continue to do my best to make LT a really great game! See you in the next progress update post!

v0.4.5 Patch Notes

Contributors:

  • Parsing fix in the tooltip for the 'Moo mode' action in the debug menu. (by AceXP)
  • Typo fixes. (PR#1680 by Thernn)

  • Added a minor description variation for vaginal orgasms that are triggered while engaged in tribbing.

Other:

  • Appended a numerical value to affection descriptions in the character view screen, so that it's easier to track exactly what affection values an NPC has towards you and other NPCs.
  • A character's testicles' covering type is now determined by the testicle type's defined covering, instead of using the character's torso covering type.
  • Added variations to the scenes relating to Lilaya's negative reaction to being impregnated for if the player has impregnated her via use of Amazon's Secret.
  • Added tooltip to the 'load' buttons in the preset transformation save/load screen, to let you know exactly why a preset transformation is unavailable.

  • Reduced the diameter of penises & clits, with reductions being minor for more normal penis lengths, and more significant for longer lengths. (Diameter can still be increased to absurd levels by increasing girth via transformations.)
  • Added pregnancy reactions to the harpy matriarch dialogues, and allowed their companions to be impregnated.

Bugs:

  • Typo fixes.
  • The NPC who you encounter during the event while wearing a rental mommy/daddy t-shirt will no longer be gynephilic or androphilic if the player character is masculine or feminine, respectively.
  • Fixed issue with missing dialogue for a cunnilingus scene during the 'random NPC's bitch' content.
  • Added a catch to avoid a background error being thrown for if a condom has somehow had its cum variable reset to null.
  • Fixed several instances, mostly in the titles of dialogue scenes while interacting with slaves, where an incorrect name for the NPC being interacted with was being displayed.
  • The Amazon's Secret item will now correctly apply the 'feminine fertility' status effect to the consuming character.
  • Fixed some formatting issues with tattoo descriptions at the bottom of the selfie/character view page when the tattoo had no writing or a 'none'-type counter.
  • Fixed continuity error at the start of the demon TF sex scene for Meraxis, where Meraxis would always be described during her initial vaginal penetration as being a virgin, even if you'd previously taken her virginity.
  • When getting a demonic or youko sexual partner to grow a penis during sex via use of the 'Grow cock' action, their penis skin colour should now match their race, unless it's been previously set to a different colour.
  • Fixed parsing issue when equipping Enforcer's night vision goggles on an NPC.
  • Fixed issue where the 'strapless bodysuit' clothing would throw a background error when being equipped, and then fail to display in your inventory UI while being worn.
  • The 'spaghetti crop tank-top' clothing no longer conceals the stomach slot.
  • Fixed issue which was present in several dialogues where a character who you've impregnated would act as though you'd previously reacted to their pregnancy, even if it was the first time you'd seen them pregnant.

Version 0.4.4.5 Preview Release

Hello again,

Thank you for your patience while waiting for me to get this version finished. I should have had it released a while ago, but due to reworks, writing taking longer than expected, and some family issues, I ended up with this rather large delay.

Anyway, the release is out now, and better late than never I suppose. For this version I've added quite a few new items, clothing, and weapons, several bugs have been fixed, the next stage of the main quest has been added, and there's new artwork for Leotie (Nyan's mum) from FriendlyAlienFriend (https://twitter.com/thealienfriend)! There are still a few placeholder scenes in the new main quest content, but there aren't many, and they're all found in the content where you encounter raiders within Themiscyra.

For the next version, which will be the public version of v0.4.5, I'm planning on getting the placeholders filled in, fixing some bugs, and getting some other minor things done. There might not be too much in this next version, but I'll do my best to make it have at least one or two fun things in it.

Thank you all again so much for your patience and support, and I'll be back soon either with a progress post or with the release post of v0.4.5!



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.


v0.4.4.5 Patch Notes

FriendlyAlienFriend's artwork:

  • Added artwork for Leotie (Nyan's mum), in clothed, lingerie, and naked variations, each with a pregnant version.

Engine/Modding:

  • Converted all groin clothing from hard-coded files to xml files (located in 'res/clothing/innoxia/groin').

Gameplay:

  • Added the next section of the main quest, where you need to travel to Themiscyra to find out if it's being threatened by Lunette's daughters. (There are a few scenes marked as having placeholder dialogue. I'll get them filled in for the next update.)

Weapons:

  • Added 'morning star' weapon (one-handed, sold by Vicky).
  • Added 'xiphos' weapon (one-handed, only obtainable during the Themiscyra quest for now).

Clothing:

  • Added 'fur cloak' clothing item (over-torso/neck slot, androgynous, sold by Nyan).
  • Added 'nipple chain' clothing item (nipple piercing slot, androgynous, sold by Kate, two stickers to apply/remove extra chains).
  • Added 'horn chains' clothing item (horn slot, androgynous, sold by Kate, two stickers to apply/remove extra chains).
  • Added 'thin horn rings' clothing item (horn slot, androgynous, sold by Kate).
  • Added 'ear cuff chain studs' clothing item (ear piercing slot, feminine, sold by Kate, two stickers to apply/remove extra chains).
  • Added 'peplos' clothing item (torso slot, feminine, sold by Monica).
  • Added 'himation' clothing item (over-torso slot, feminine, sold by Monica).
  • Added 'sandals' clothing item (foot slot, androgynous, sold by Monica).
  • Added 'meander ring' clothing item (finger slot, androgynous, only obtainable during the Themiscyra quest for now).
  • The 'jockstrap' clothing item no longer incorrectly conceals the wearer's anus.

Items:

  • Added 'Amazon's Secret' (sold by Ralph, applies a 24-hour effect: when orgasming during a tribbing action, there's a chance to impregnate your partner, using fertility for the impregnation calculation instead of virility).
  • Added 'Amazonian Ambrosia' (only obtainable during the Themiscyra quest for now, applies +femininity and +muscle).

Sex:

  • When having dominant sex with your elemental, your elemental is no longer able to bring an end to the sex scene.
  • Characters kneeling behind or humping a partner who's on all fours can now use that partner's tail/tentacles/fingers.
  • The 'lubricate fingers' and 'lubricate tail' sex actions should now always be available to you (unless physically impossible or if mouth/fingers/tail are already occupied).

Other:

  • Nerfed the attribute bonuses gained from 'Lyssieth's true power' perk.
  • Added 'strutter tease' and 'leg lover tease' as fetish-related tease attacks for the 'strutter' and 'leg lover' fetishes, respectively.
  • Improved dialogue flow when using your elemental to intimidate the imp guards in the fortresses in Submission.
  • Added a 'side braids' hair style.
  • During the new 'bitch' content (where the player completely submits to a random NPC), the requirement for NPCs to have the selfish trait in order for them to take the player to be tattooed has been removed.
  • Added 'shaggy' as a non-standard covering modifier to cow fur.
  • The current time and date is now hidden during a bad end.

Bugs:

  • Parsing fixes.
  • Fixed issue where 'Lyssieth's true power' perk would not enable you to transform your demonic body parts into human parts.
  • Tail and wing self-transformation options should now be populated with all intended races when using the debug menu to test the elder Lilin perks.
  • When skipping the prologue at the start of a game, imported characters will now correctly gain 5000 flames on top of any flames they already had, instead of flames being set to 5000.
  • Fixed bug in the rental mommy t-shirt encounters where the 'dommy' title would spawn dominant NPCs, and the 'subby' title would spawn submissive NPCs, instead of the other way around.
  • Fixed bug with the rental daddy t-shirt where the 'subby' text title was assigned to the 'bottom text' sticker category instead of 'top text'.
  • Unique NPCs no longer have a random chance to have the 'ahegao' perk (Takahashi is unaffected by this change).
  • Fixed issue where NPCs would not be targeting their intended partner in sex scenes which used the 'preferredTarget' variable.

A little more delay...

I'm really sorry about this, but I still haven't managed to get the preview version of v0.4.4.5 into a state that's ready for release. I ended up changing some aspects of the next stage of the main quest, and that's set me back a little. I'd better not give another fixed release date to avoid more disappointment, but I really should be able to get this preview version released within the next few days. I'm really sorry again, and my next post will definitely be the release post, so I'll see you there very soon!

Edit (Sunday, 24th): Thank you all so much for your patience; I've been a little stuck on how best to implement some of the content for this next stage of the main quest, but I really am almost done now. It shouldn't be too much longer!

Friday 15 July 2022

A couple more days...

Hello again,

This is just a small post to let you know that I've still got some writing left to do before v0.4.4.5 is ready, and I don't have enough time to get it finished by either tonight or tomorrow, so the preview version of v0.4.4.5 will now most likely be out on Sunday evening/night. Sorry about this small delay, and I'll do my best to make sure that it's ready by the end of the weekend!

Version 0.4.4.2 Preview Release

Hello again,

I'm sorry about the full week-long delay; after I'd made the previous delay post, I'd been hoping to have this version out earlier this week, but I managed to catch COVID and recovering from that was a little rougher than I expected, and so it was hard to concentrate on work during that. I've still got a bit of a cough, but other than that I'm fully better already, so progress on the next update shouldn't be affected.

Anyway, as to what's in this version, I merged a lot of third party contributions from github, fixed bugs, and added some other minor things. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get the next stage of the main quest added, which is why I've called this release v0.4.4.2 instead of v0.4.4.5. I'm planning on getting that added over the next week, for another preview release of v0.4.4.5 this time next Friday (15th July).

I also got some new artwork variations of pregnant Nyan from FriendlyAlienFriend (https://twitter.com/thealienfriend), which have been added into this version.

Thank you all once again so much for your support and patience! I'll see you all in the next post, which will either be a progress post next week, or the next preview release post for v0.4.4.5 on Friday, 15th. See you then!

v0.4.4.2 Patch Notes

Contributors:

  • Fixed latex stocks always being referred to as black in their description. (PR#1671 by Anonymous-BCFED)

  • Fully implemented all of the Elder Lilin perk checks, which for the time being can be turned on/off via the debug menu. (PR#1631 by Maxis010)
  • Removed the 'enchantmentLimit' element from all xml files, and from the Java code that parses those xmls, as support for this element was dropped in a prior enchantment update. (PR#1618 by CognitiveMist)
  • Updated 'hyena_bone_crush.xml' to include damage variance, and changed links from master branch to dev branch in 'dagger.xml'. (PR#1616 by CognitiveMist)
  • Added warnings for if a weighted map contains bad values. (PR#1614 by CognitiveMist)
  • Adds an alarm clock function to places where you can rest: Lilaya's house room; Friendly apartment sofa; Elis tavern room; Dairy farm dormitory. (PR#1606 by CognitiveMist)
  • If a random NPC attacker (in Dominion, Submission, Harpy Nests, or Elis) has the 'cum addict' fetish, or they are under the effects of an arcane storm, there is a 10% chance that they will spawn with some dirty inventory slots. (PR#1582 by CognitiveMist)
  • Added sorting options to the slave list. (PR#1662 by Anonymous-BCFED)
  • Changed all old FITS_HARPY_WINGS item tags to FITS_ARM_WINGS as the former is no longer supported. (PR#1663 by DSG)
  • NPCs who are freed via use of a Freedom Certificate are no longer able to be re-enslaved afterwards. (PR#1649 by Maxis010)
  • Fixed some sizing issues with item tooltips. (PR#1674 by Nonny5Mouse)
  • Fixed incorrect parsing in tail type transformation text. (by Stadler)
  • Typo fixes and fixes to descriptions in role-reversed witch altar scenes. (PR#1677 by Anonymous-BCFED)

Misc fixes contribution (PR#1664 by MintyChip):

  • Added spaces before the fluid modifier descriptions in the appearance screens.
  • Taurs now spawn with their race's default GenitalArrangement (e.g. alligator-taurs now have cloacas).
  • Fixed the params of the method applyLegConfigurationTransformation's javadoc.
  • Fixed visual bug where displayed file path for transformation presets was set to the same one as enchantments.
  • Improved positioning of the infertility/fertility perks so that their connecting lines no longer appear to be connected to unrelated perks.
  • Changed the octopus hair covering type to mimic the octopus skin covering type.
  • Imported characters now correctly receive Lilaya's 5k flames if they skip the prologue.
  • Made it so that half-demons lay eggs if their other half's race lays eggs.
  • Added a 'clear alerts' button to the encyclopedia menu.
  • added a 'clear stats' button when importing a character.

Slime tweaks contribution (PR#1665 by MintyChip):

  • Made it so that the slime attacker's slime transformation applies the same effects as the biojuice for the sake of consistency.
  • Added flavor text to the biojuice description to mention that it's "heavily processed" and thus corruptive where the source (slime queen in the bath scene) is not.
  • Nerfed the permanent corruption gain from biojuice, as it seemed like a harsh effect if a new player just wandered into the submission.
  • Made it so that elementals can't have their body material transformed into SLIME or FLESH using the biojuice or flesh potions.

Engine/Modding:

  • Added a new element, 'bodyOverviewDescription', to tattoo xml files, which is used in the newly-added tattoo section of the character appearance page. (If missing, the basic description is used instead.)
  • Converted Fetish enums to instances of AbstractFetish classes.

Gameplay:

  • Added a minor expansion to Lilaya's panties content, where after threatening Rose you can gain access to a submissive threesome scene with her and Lilaya.

Items:

  • Added new tattoo types: spider; rose; crossed blades; pentagram; trinity and spiral Celtic knots.

Sex:

  • Hand-holding is now tagged as a 'loving' action (similar to 'Caress face', 'Kiss cheek', etc.), so NPCs will now only use this action if they do not have the sadist fetish and their affection towards their target is at least 'caring'.

Other:

  • In the character appearance page, a description of the character's tattoos is now shown at the bottom.
  • In the rental mommy random customer encounter, the chance for the customer to be a dom or a sub is now 60/40 based on your fetishes instead of 100/0, and 90/10 based on the writing on your tshirt instead of 100/0.
  • The map screen in your phone menu now lists major maps within the selected region before all other maps.
  • Bat eyes now grant the night vision ability (which negates the 'darkness' status effect).
  • Siblings who are born at the same time are now defined as being twins to one another. Katherine and Kelly have now also been correctly defined as being twin sisters.
  • The random NPC who spawns during the 'walkies' content for the new repeated-submission alleyway content can now spawn with a pussy instead of always spawning with a cock.
  • The 'Lyssieth's power' perk now changes into 'Lyssieth's true power' after transforming into a demon, granting stronger attribute buffs.
  • Added a 'begging' alternative to Amber's walkies scene to remove foot worshipping content for if foot content is turned off in your settings.
  • Added a 'shoulder massage' alternative to Vanessa/Ms. Cunningham's foot massage scene to remove foot massage content for if foot content is turned off in your settings.
  • Arthur's room no longer takes up one of the available rooms in Lilaya's house, and instead is now placed adjacent to the lab. (This will be retroactively applied when loading into this version if you have already placed Arthur's room.)
  • Added a couple of options in the debug menu which allow you to skip Dominion and Submission quests (located on the second page of the 'Main' tab).
  • While an arcane storm is raging, storm-immune NPCs who treat you as their bitch will now only use the 'fuck' option in encounters, so as to address the inconsistency of being taken to public places that were seemingly unaffected by the storm.
  • Added some minor description variations for the 'seductive look' sex action (available while in the 'all fours' sex slot) for if the performer is identified as an owl-morph and has a 'raptor' race face type.
  • Added ability to manage your elemental's fetishes to their management dialogue options.
  • Gaining levels for fetishes now applies increased base damage to any associated tease attacks, up to a maximum of +4 at level 5. Base damage for all fetish tease attacks was reduced from 5 to 3 as part of this.
  • Added a new 'Pregnancy duration' option in 'Gameplay' settings to define the length of pregnancies, with the default being 1 week and the maximum being 40 weeks.
  • Scarlett's oral sex scene for the romantic setup for Helena now ends after Scarlett has orgasmed once, and you can now use the 'Skip sex' action in Helena's sex scenes.
  • After completing the 'Vengar's Tyranny' side quest, the next time you enter an Enforcer Checkpoint tile in Submission while in possession of a slaver license, Claire will offer you the option of taking ownership of the four milkers from the Rat Warrens.

Bugs:

  • Typo fixes and minor text improvements.
  • Fixed several places in the new repeated-submission alleyway content where vagina interaction content would be used even if the player didn't have a vagina.
  • Fixed issue where many racial books incorrectly had their author listed as 'Professor Webster'.
  • Fixed several instances where, during Lyssieth's demon TF scenes, after starting the sex scene with the 'pussy only' action, there were references to her having a cock.
  • Fixed bug where Meraxis would always be located in the tavern in Elis, even when she should have been in her citadel or in Lyssieth's palace.
  • Fixed bug where tail interactions in sex scenes would not be available in some positions, such as when kneeling behind a partner in the all fours position.
  • Fixed bugs with incorrectly-defined perk categories, which should fix issues with incorrect tracking of perk points when spending 'physical-only' perk points (earned from Pix's gym).
  • Fixed bug where if you teleported to the lake in the Elis map, then selected 'Back', you would return to the tile from which you teleported, instead of to an adjacent fields tile.
  • Sabotaging a condom no longer costs essences, and also now displays the condom's correct name in the event log.
  • Fixed minor issue with configuration of several clothing items which meant that coverable areas were being incorrectly concealed. Clothing fixed: tied-up croptop; one-strap crop top; cropped tank-top; cropped T-shirt; cropped sweater.
  • The exit icons in the Farmer's Market in Elis should now correctly be displayed on the map.

Small delay to v0.4.4.5

Hello again,

I've had a bit of a chaotic time over the past week, and so I haven't yet managed to get the preview version of v0.4.4.5 ready for release. I only have a few things left to finish off though, so I should be able to get it out by this time next Friday at the very latest (hopefully before then though).

Thank you all again for your continued interest in Lilith's Throne, and I'm sorry about this delay. I'll see you again in the next post, which will hopefully be soon!

Wednesday 22 June 2022

Plan for v0.4.4.5

Hello once again!

This is just a quick post to let you know what I'm working on for the next preview version of 0.4.4.5, as well as how long it's likely going to take me.

So, as to what I've been working on, as well as what I want to get done for this next release, I have the following goals:
- Fix bugs. (Partially done.)
- Merge PR's from github, i.e. implementing fixes and other things from contributors. (Done.)
- Add some minor content here and there. (Mostly done.)
- Work towards getting the next stage of the main quest added. (Not yet done.)

I'm going to have some disruption to my work this week which is going to last at least a few days, and so although the goals I've outlined above are not particularly time consuming (with the exception of the main quest content), the preview/SubscribeStar release of v0.4.4.5 will be Friday 1st July at the earliest.

Thank you all so much once again for your continued interest in Lilith's Throne, and I'll make another post next week to keep you updated on how things are going, so I'll see you again then!
