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.

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'.

Items:

  • In random encounters, racial items for badgers, goats, and sheep will now only spawn in Elis, while racial items for cows, mice, pigs, rabbits, raptors, and wolves will now additionally spawn in Elis.

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.
