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!

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!

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!

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!


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!

v0.4.5 Patch Notes

Contributors:

  • Fixed issue where Amazonian Ambrosia wouldn't be given to the player upon searching the district in Themiscyra. (by AceXP)
  • Fixed bug in the 'Lilaya's panties' content, where in the threesome section of the sex scene, selecting the 'Lilaya's pussy' or 'Lilaya's cock' actions would not work. (by AceXP)
  • Parsing fix in the tooltip for the 'Moo mode' action in the debug menu. (by AceXP)
  • Typo fixes. (PR#1680 by Thernn)
  • Removed a duplicate line. (PR#1683 by IjyiH)

Gameplay:

  • Filled in final placeholders in the new Themiscyra main quest content and fixed a couple of minor parsing issues in it.

Sex:

  • Characters who are taurs can now use the 'sitting in lap' slot in the 'sitting' sex position (described as them turning around and lowering their rear half down into the sitting character's lap).
  • 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.
  • Dominant contacts at 'The Watering Hole' no longer have their affection reset to 5 when encountering them another night.
  • The five stages of the 'intoxicated' status effect now apply an increasing boost to corruption at each level.
  • Added horn length to the 'Head & Throat' stats in the phone's body stats screen.
  • 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.

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 'thin horn rings' clothing item (horn slot, androgynous, sold by Kate).

  • 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.
