Slight Delay

Hello again,

I've got the big PR merged, but I'm still working on the main quest content, so I'm going to delay the preview release by a couple of days in order to get it finished. I could get something put together for a release tonight, but I thought that it would be better to get this main quest content finished off first. Sorry about leaving this delay post until the last minute; I kept on thinking that I'd be able to get it done in time...

Thank you for your patience, and I'll be back in a couple of days with the preview release!

P.S. I'm aware that the wiki has broken, but I'll only have time to fix it after this release is out.

Edit (Wednesday, 31st): I'm still working as fast as I can on getting this version ready. I'll have it released by the end of the weekend at the absolute latest! Sorry!!!

Progress News

Hello again,

This is just a very small post to let you know that things are going roughly according to plan, and that I should have the big PR merged and the main quest content finished by the end of this weekend. As such, the preview version of 0.4.8.5 should be out by this Sunday, 28th. I'll make another post before then if it's looking like I'm not going to make that date.

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

More Progress News

Hello again,

I ended up losing a couple more days than planned over this past week (due to getting some things sorted out in my life), so I'm still a little ways off getting this preview update finished. I've made progress on the main quest content, and should be able to get that finished off over the next few days. I'm also still hoping to get a big pull request merged for this next release, so with that in mind I'll be aiming to get the release out towards the end of this next week. I'll make another post to let you know how things are going on Wednesday.

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

Progress News

Hello again!

This is just a very small post to let you know how things are going towards the next release of v0.4.8.5. So far, I've finished fixing all of the reported bugs, and have also merged more pull requests (PRs) from github. I'm planning on merging a big PR before this next release, so the only things that I've got left to do before the release is ready are:
- Merge the big PR
- Finish the main quest content I was working on

I'll also try to add one of the extra goals that I mentioned in the previous post, but that'll depend on how much time I have left over after competing the two points above. I'm going to be away from my computer for a few days this week, so timing will be a little tight, but I should still be able to get everything done by this time next week.

I'll make another progress news post on Friday to let you know how things are going. Thank you all once again so much for your support, and I'll see you again soon!

Plan for v0.4.9

Hello again,

I'm feeling a lot less stressed now that I've got v0.4.8 released, and although I'm going to need to take a couple of days both this week and the next in which to get some things sorted out, I should be able to get back to working on LT at a decent pace once again. My plan for this next version is to focus on a few key things, with some extra goals on top to work on if I get time. These goals are as follows:

My key goals are:
- Finish fixing reported bugs
- Merge more PRs (Pull Requests) from github
- Finish the main quest content I was working on

And my extra goals are:
- Add yoga content to Pix's gym
- Add loans to the bank (along with related bounty hunter content)
- Add Shadow & Silence content

I'm going to focus on bug fixes to begin with, and then after that I'll spend a few days sorting out PRs. After that I'll get the main quest content finished. Depending on how long that's taken me, I'll either get a preview version (v0.4.8.5) released at that stage, or move on to getting one or more of the extra goals added. I don't want this preview version to take more than a couple of weeks, and as I'll be losing four or five days over that time to getting some personal matters sorted out, I likely won't have much time in which to get the extra goals added. As such, they'll probably roll over into the full public release of v0.4.9.

That's my plan as it stands at the moment, although things might change. I'll make a progress update post at the end of the week to let you know how things are going.

Once again, thank you all so much for your support, and for sticking with me during the big delays of the past two releases. I hope to not let that happen again, and to get the preview version finished within two weeks. I'll see you again in the next progress post!

v0.4.8.2 Bugged...

Hello again!

There was an annoying bug in v0.4.8.2, where fetishes weren't being recognised as being owned. I've fixed it and I've uploaded a hotfix (to the hotfix...). The download links in the previous post have all been updated to v0.4.8.3, so if you've already downloaded v0.4.8.2, then please re-download v0.4.8.3 and use that instead!

I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

Version 0.4.8.2 (Hotfix) Release (Updated to v0.4.8.3)

Hello again!

I know that I said that I was going to take a break until Monday, but I saw that there were a few annoying bugs that had made it into v0.4.8, so I thought that I'd better get a hotfix released to address them. I also needed to apply the new 'Image & Character Imports' change to affect the player character images as well, which I forgot to do in the previous release.

There are also several additions from contributors in this hotfix, including two new clothing items from DSG, and bug fixes from TractorsAttic, Cognitive Mist, SightglassCat, and MintyChip.

I'll make another post tomorrow to let you know what my plans are for the next version. Thank you all once again for your patience and support, and I'll see you again in the next post!

EDIT: The download links have been updated to v0.4.8.3, which fixes a bug where fetishes were not being detected as being owned!

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!

v0.4.8.3 Download Links

This is still an alpha, and contains bugs and half-finished content!
Note: If you're on Windows, it's best to use the .exe version (only use the 32-bit exe if you're using 32-bit Windows). The .jar download is so that players on Linux or MacOS can get the game to run, in which case you'll need to make sure that you have java installed on your machine and that you have JavaFX installed too. You can ask in the #tech-support channel on the LT discord for help if it's not working.
If using the .jar, please make sure to run it with Java version 1.8.0_172, as other versions have issues with the UI.

v0.4.8.2 Patch Notes

Contributors:

• Fixed issue where player-summoned elementals were not considered part of the player's team for damage calculations, meaning for harder difficulty settings their damage was scaled the same as that of enemies. (by TractorsAttic)
• Fixed parsing bug in Natalya's meeting scene during Helena's romance quest, and fixed a potential NullPointerException related to accessing character present IDs. (by Cognitive Mist)
• Improved getSubspeciesFromBody() method, which makes loading save files significantly faster, especially for large saves in games with many modded subspecies. (PR#1754 by SightglassCat)
• Added 'light red' and changed 'light pink' to 'pink' for salamander scale colours, added missing equip text for the nursing bra, and fixed some inconsistencies in Natayla's new content. (PR#1757 by MintyChip)
• Added pattern support to both micro bikini clothing items. (PR#1759 by DSG)
• Added two new clothing items; 'fedora' (head slot, androgynous, sold by Nyan); and 'trenchcoat' (over-torso slot, androgynous, sold by Nyan). (PR#1761 by DSG)
• Fixed missing IDs and paths for anonymous-classed NPCs. (PR#1762 by SightglassCat)
• Fixed incorrect references to horns in the antenna.xml race mod example file. (by MintyChip)

Image & Character Imports:

• PLEASE NOTE: All imported images for your player character will no longer work, due to the image folder location being changed.
• Custom images for your player character are now stored in the same manner as custom images for non-unique NPCs, that is, in the 'data/images' folder instead of the 'res/images' folder. This allows you to have unique images for your player character in different save game files.

Clothing:

• The Butler's Jacket no longer obscures the finger slot.
• Updated all of the old formatting for clothing displacement/removal text in clothing files.

Sex:

• Moved foot-to-mouth sex actions from the reverse cowgirl position to the cowgirl position.
• Using an ovipositor to lay eggs in someone no longer requires the ovipositor-equipped character to have a vagina (this should only affect slimes, as they're the only race that can get pregnant without having a vagina).

Other:

• Added text to make it more obvious that a slave is losing 1 affection towards you due to being woken up at the start of interacting with them while they're sleeping.
• Elementals are now able to use the save/load transformation menu correctly.
• When loading a TF preset the dialogue scene now moves back to the 'core' TF dialogue, so as to give an indication that the TF has been applied.
• Made the layout of multi-breast option buttons slightly more logical.
• If you've equipped sealed clothing with the 'servitude' enchantment, Lilaya's 'Sealed problem' action will no longer remove all the seals on your clothing, and will instead only remove the 'servitude' enchantments.
• Compacted the layout of the 'subspecies knowledge' perks when viewing a character's perk tree.
• The 'Dungeon Cell' tiles in Lilaya's basement no longer have an upkeep cost (they used to be 10 flames/day).
• In 'Murk's Milker' bad end, the player's tattoos are now removed at the start of the bad end, so as to avoid unexpected transformations occurring during the bad end content.

Bugs:

• Typo & parsing fixes and minor dialogue alterations.
• Fixed bug where Hannah would not return to the bar after encountering her there for the first time.
• Concealed subspecies bonus text no longer inadvertently reveals their race in the tooltip text.
• If a character has the 'Serpent-tailed' leg configuration, any change to the length of their tail is now correctly restored when saving & loading games.
• Added missing 'MURK_BACK' dialogue node in the pregnancy roulette scenes.
• Removed references to the player impregnating Bunny if it was actually Loppy who ended up impregnating her during a threesome.
• Fixed numerous instances of scripting errors related to the change of the NPC.hourlyUpdate() method to take in an int argument (showing as 'Scripting parsing error: X.hourlyUpdate()' in the error.log file).
• Fixed bug where you could bypass the entry fee for Pix's gym if you talked to her and then simply moved forwards into the gym.
• Saving a transformation preset for an elemental will no longer make the save/load transformation menu inaccessible.
• Lilaya will now correctly transform her genitalia back to having a pussy and no cock after sex.
• Fixed issue in Penelope's 'Posters' dialogue where you'd always tell her that you hadn't visited Pix's gym, even if you had.
• Fixed bug where you could assign jobs to guests which were meant to be limited to slaves (which was done by selecting a job category while managing a slave's job, then managing a guest's job and assigning the still-selected job to them).
• Natalya's sex scene in the park is no longer treated as being a public sex scene (as you're behind the bushes and so out of sight).
• Fixed bug where slaves who had sex while working in the kitchen would generate the 'gardener' sex event description.
• When/If you give Scarlett back to Helena, her tattoos are now removed. (This will retroactively apply when loading into this version.)
• Astrapi's pregnancy reaction scene now correctly plays when encountering her at the Elis depot.
• You can no longer teleport into the Crossed Blades tavern (to prevent the player from entering it outside of opening hours).
• Natalya's post-anal-sex dialogue no longer references rimjobs.
• Fixed bug where if you had a fetish temporarily granted via enchanted clothing, the fetish would be permanently applied to the wearer after saving & then loading the game.
• You can no longer pay to have your 'penis' pierced if you have no penis but are wearing a strapon.

Version 0.4.8 Release

Hello again,

I'm sorry once again for how long it's taken me to get this version released. I've been having quite a bad time since December, with both stress and bouts of low mood making it very difficult to focus on writing lewd content for LT. I'll do my very best to get back on track as soon as I can, and will try to get the next release out to you in a more reasonable time frame.

I've managed to get some new content added for this version, although I've had to cut the main quest content that I was working on as I wasn't able to finish it in time. There's also new art for five characters in this version. FriendlyAlienFriend (https://twitter.com/thealienfriend) has created art for Meraxis's three demon lieutenants; Fyrsia, Hyorlyss, and Jhortrax. Pusspuss (https://twitter.com/PusspussARTZ) has created art for both Shadow and Silence, who will be getting content within the next couple of versions.

Thank you all so much once again for your support and patience. I'm going to take the rest of this week to try and get some things in my life sorted out, but after that I'll be back to working on the next version and will get it out to you as soon as I possibly can. I'll make a post to let you know what my plans are next Monday (8th).

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

v0.4.8 Patch Notes

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

• Added Fyrsia, Jhortrax, and Hyorlyss artwork.
• Added artwork variations for Vanessa/Ms. Cunningham without her shoes on.

Pusspuss's Artwork (https://twitter.com/PusspussARTZ):

• Added Silence & Shadow artwork, with variations for multi-boobs and pregnancy.

Contributors:

• Added ability to let friendly occupants take on some of the more mundane slave jobs (Maid, Security guard, Librarian, Cook, Lab assistant, Office worker, and Waitress). (PR#1560 by Maxis010)
• Removed the need to add content checks to multiple locations when adding new content controlled fetishes. (PR#1600 by Maxis010)
• Fixed bug during sex scenes where a background error could be thrown if an NPC who was not involved in the sex scene tried to equip clothing. (by AceXP)
• Bugfixes for GuestJobs PR after merge. (PR#1755 by Maxis010)
• Added support for separate naming for aquatic subspecies that aren't mer-tailed. (PR#1489 by Stadler76)
• Fixed description of height in alpha-imp description ignoring imperial/metric setting. (by AceXP)

Engine/Modding:

• Added 'SWIMWEAR' item tag, which is meant to be used on clothing to aid in item generation.
• Added a new 'conditional' attribute to the new 'effect' element in items' status effect definition section, allowing you to limit effects to be applied via conditional statement. (See 'res/items/innoxia/pills/fertility.xml' for a commented example.)
• Added FOOD_POOR, FOOD_QUALITY, DRINK_POOR, and DRINK_QUALITY as item tags to give finer control over how much of a buff food and drink items should give to the consumer.
• Added 'EYE_SHAPE_' parsing command to access EyeShape enum values.

Image & Character Imports:

• PLEASE NOTE: All imported images for characters in your game will no longer work, due to a significant restructuring of the folders involved.
• Images imported for characters in your game are now located in a folder that's named corresponding to the character's unique ID, instead of their name, so you can now have different images for different characters who share the same name.
• Images imported for characters in your game are no longer stored in the 'res/images/characters/generic' folder, and are instead now stored within the 'data/images/game_id' folder. The 'game_id' is unique to each of your ongoing games (and takes the form of a large number). This change means that imported character images are now associated only with the game into which they were imported.
• When exporting a character, any custom artwork which they have will be exported into a folder alongside the exported xml file (in 'data/characters').
• When importing a character into a game (as a slave, a clubber, or a lodger), if there's a folder in the same directory as the imported character's xml file, which shares the same name as the imported character's xml file, then all images within that folder are automatically imported for that character.

Gameplay:

• You can now invite friendly occupants living in Lilaya's mansion to the spa.
• Added banks to Dominion and Elis. You can create an account in the Dominion bank, and then use the deposit boxes to store and retrieve items and money, as well as generate interest on money stored there.
• After having sex with Vicky three times, she will try to dominate you, and if you submit then it will unlock more content with her.
• Added a new internal map for Pix's gym, added a few extra scenes for Pix, and added a new character (a spotted hyena-girl boxer named Hannah) to the gym.
• Completing Hannah's boxing training unlocks a new bar map in Nightlife, in which you can have one night stands with randomly generated NPCs.

Items:

• Added 'swimming shorts' (masculine, groin slot, sold by Nyan).
• Changed the quality levels for dragon, amazon, angel, and imp drinks, and for dragon, rat, and pig food.
• Added the 'DRINK' tag to several items which should have had it.
• Added 'arcane wet wipes' as an upgraded version of 'wet wipes', which are able to remove the 'marked by musk' effect.

Sex:

• Added 'Stroke belly' as a 'loving' sex action, requiring the target to be visibly pregnant and for positioning to allow the performer's hands to reach the target's stomach. (As it's a loving action, NPCs will only use this if they're not sadistic and their affection towards the target is over 50.)
• NPCs in glory hole sex no longer have access to deny actions (as it's physically impossible for them to restrain their partners who are on the other side of the stall wall).
• Added a 'Rape-play allowed by default' option in the 'Sex & Fetishes' content options, which allows submissive characters in sex who have the 'unwilling fuck-toy' fetish to engage in rape-play without first being given permission to do so. (Off by default.)
• Added clit-to-nipple and clit-to-crotch-boob-nipple sex actions for characters with clits large enough to act as pseudo penises.

Other:

• Reformatted how status effects to be applied upon consumption are displayed in item tooltips to reduce clutter.
• Added a 'musk' content toggle in the 'Sex & Fetishes' page in the content options, allowing you to enable/disable musky cum/girlcum effects. (On by default.)
• Musky cum and girlcum will now apply a 'marked by musk' status effect (applies +5 resting lust and -1 lust resistance) to anyone who is covered in it during sex.
• Vicky's shop, 'Arcane Arts', is now open from 9:00-17:00 instead of 06:00-22:00.
• Added a 'Never' option to the multi-boob content setting, which makes all randomly-generated and most unique NPCs have only one pair of breasts.
• Changed the 'martial artist' perk to 'brawler', which now gives +5% unarmed damage and +10% physical damage. The 'martial artist' perk is now a unique perk which can be obtained via completing Hannah's training (in Pix's gym).
• Nizhoni's content now has a couple of extra musk-related descriptions (which are only shown if musk content is turned on), and you now also have the option to cast the 'soothing waters' spell (if you know it) to clean her and temporarily remove her musk for the proceeding sex scenes.
• The game's default start date is now 2019, instead of the year of your system's time (i.e. 2023). This is so that in-game events remain chronologically feasible, for example older Enforcers having been Enforcers at the time of the fifth human rebellion in 1988. The starting year can still be changed to whatever you want during the character creation process.
• Pandas now spawn with vertical pupils.
• Elementals can now take on the form of an octopus.

Bugs:

• The chest sarashi has been changed back from 'feminine' to 'androgynous'.
• Fixed issue where all slaves in Slaver Alley's stocks and shops would be reset every time you loaded a game.
• The 'vaginal virginity', 'pregnancy', 'pussy slut', 'impregnation', 'cum stud', 'cock stud', and 'breasts' fetishes are now correctly always given to randomly generated NPCs if your related fetish spawn preference is set to 'always'.
• After getting them as slaves, resetting the perks of the four 'Murk's milkers' should now work correctly. (It will also reset their occupation trait from 'kidnapped' to the slave trait.)
• Freeing slaves while they're working in a milking room now correctly handles their clothing resets before freeing them. (i.e. removing pumps and replacing their clothing)
• You can no longer ask Claire for help with dealing with Vengar after you've already cleared out the Rat Warrens.
• NPCs will no longer equip clothing onto spectators during sex.
• Fixed issue where Jhortrax didn't have his katana equipped.
• Fixed bug at the end of Natalya's filly training where she'd take your neck-equipped clothing and not return it to you when she put on your filly choker.
• Fixed vaginal and anal clit tease actions, which were checking availability of the action based on the incorrect character's clit size.
• Fixed an issue where characters would sometimes fail to load into a game when saving/loading.
