Not much longer now

I'm sorry for how long this update is taking and for not communicating very well with you recently. I allowed myself to get very stressed again about progress and ended up getting into a state of paralysis over how to fix it. I think I've managed to overcome it again now and so should be able to get the last of the writing finished within a week or so, at which point I'll finally release the preview version of 0.4.10.1. After that I'll spend about a week fixing bugs and polishing things up and make a public release.

Thank you all so much for sticking with me and being patient with me, I really do appreciate all of your support. I know that progress hasn't been very good recently and I'm trying to get into a better routine to make updates as frequent as they once were. I'll see you again soon in the release post (which will be somewhere in the region of a week from now).

Delayed again...

Getting this update finished is turning into a nightmare. Everything's a bit of a mess at the moment and so isn't in a state where I can compile and release it. I'll get it finished and released as soon as I can. Sorry once again for letting you down, I feel terrible about failing to get it finished in time once again.

Still working on it

I'm sorry about not making a post over the past few weeks, and for not having the update released yet. I got stuck on some of the final pieces of writing for this content and allowed myself to get into a bad sate of mind about it. I'm going to do my best to get it finished this week and I'll get the next update released by this time next Sunday no matter what state it's in.

Thank you once again for your patience and support, and I'll see you again soon in the release post.

Still working on it...

I didn't manage to get as much done this week as I should have, and so it's going to be a little bit longer before I have the next update ready. I'm sorry that this is turning into quite a delayed release (again...) but I'll do my very best to get it finished as soon as I can. Thanks for being so patient, and I'll really do my best to get it released asap!

Not much longer

This is just another small post to let you know that I'm still working on the next version, and that it won't take me much longer to get it finished now. I lost a few days this week due to some family stuff, so I'm a little behind where I wanted to be, but I should have the preview hotfix released by the end of this week (hopefully at least)!

Thank you all so much again for your patience and support, and I hope to be making my next post the preview hotfix one!

Working on the next update...

This is just a small post to let you know that I'm still working on the next update, which will be a preview "hotfix" to get the doll quest finished. I've got some writing and dialogue code still to finish, as well as some bugs to fix, so it's going to take me the rest of this week to get it done. The main content which I'm adding for it is a new 'bad end', as well as some extra doll purchasing options for completing the quest. It's nothing too complex, but it is proving to be a little time consuming getting it all added.

As always, thank you all so much once again for your patience and support! I'll get this preview hotfix finished as soon as I possibly can so then I can move on to making the next public release (and finally getting the wiki sorted out...). I'll make another post by the end of this week to let you know how things are going (I really should be very close to finishing by then).

Version 0.4.10 Preview Release

The good news is that I've got a lot of bugs fixed and minor changes implemented for this version, and I decided not to delay it any further. The bad news is that the main part of this update, which was to be the doll-related side quest, isn't quite ready yet. This is mainly due to there being a lot more writing than I expected (I always, always underestimate how long writing takes...), which is taking me some time to get though (I've done about 30k words for it so far, and it's about 80% done).

I'm going to continue working on the side quest immediately after this version is released. As soon as I've got the writing finished I'll make a hotfix update and get released as soon as I can, and then after that I'll move on to the next version (which will be a public release). I'll make another post by the end of this next week to let you know how it's going. Hopefully I should be pretty much done by then.

Thank you all so much for your patience and support, and I'm sorry about how long it's taking me to get this quest finished. I'll get it completed as soon as I possibly can, and I'll see you again very 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.

v0.4.10 Patch Notes

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

• Added Lunexis artwork (with pregnant and crotch-boob variations).

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

• Added Yui artwork (with pregnant variations).

Engine/Modding:

• Added support for multiple 'startingImmobilisation' elements per character in modded sex managers.
• In modded combat moves, you can now use 'UNARMED' as a damage type to automatically use the correct damage type based on the attacker's body.
• Added a new 'Outfit' action to the debug menu's 'Item view' tab, allowing you to apply any outfit to a generic doll for testing purposes.
• Added a new 'Combat moves' action to the debug menu's 'Misc.' tab, allowing you to see all combat moves and their IDs.
• Added 'KNOT' as a new OrgasmBehaviour (for use in modded sex managers).
• Added hook for OrificeDepth enum to parsing engine, with 'ORIFICE_DEPTH_' prefixes.

Gameplay:

• The map for 'Lovienne's Luxuries' needed to be regenerated as part of this update, so it will have been reset to be as though you haven't explored it yet.

Images:

• Increased the size of the artwork images shown in characters' body overview tooltip.
• Added several new keywords for image file names to help filter images when in-game (keywords and their behaviour can be seen in res/images/characters/modding.txt).

Clothing:

• Added 'muzzle' (androgynous, BDSM set, mouth slot, blocks mouth, sold by Saellatrix).
• Added 'bar gag' (androgynous, BDSM set, mouth slot, blocks mouth, sold by Saellatrix).
• Updated the 'strapless bodysuit' to use the same blocking logic as 'lowback bodysuit', which should fix some issues with NPCs struggling to displace it (such as when combined with pantyhose).
• The 'Thin bangles' and 'Bangle' can now be worn in the tail slot as well as the wrist slot.
• The 'Bangle' is now androgynous instead of feminine.
• The 'strapless strap-on' now has a base rarity of 'common' instead of 'epic'.
• Added an 'Inserts' sticker option to the 'bunny headband' (thanks to DSG).
• Swapped the primary and secondary colours for the 'heart-shaped barbells' clothing (this will automatically be applied to your old barbells so you don't need to manually fix them when loading into this version).
• Added stickers to the 'breeder collar' to enable you to set the text to 'breeder' (default), 'bimbo', 'bitch', 'slut', 'cum slut', or 'whore', and changed the name to 'ornate collar'.

Items:

• Saellatrix now sells Silic Oil (this was previously unobtainable unless spawned via debug menu).
• Changed colour of the rejuvenation potion to be light blue.

Mystery Kink rework:

• 'Mystery Kink' is now called 'Succubus's Kiss', and has a new icon.
• Instead of adding/removing a random fetish, 'Succubus's Kiss' now gives +50 lust (and +50 arousal during sex).
• It retains its old enchantment mechanics (to create fetish potions), and can now also be enchanted with an empty primary and secondary modifier to give it the same 'adding/removing a random fetish' which Mystery Kink used to have by default.

Combat:

• Many special combat moves which previously did physical damage, or were incorrectly applying 'unarmed' damage, are now correctly using the appropriate damage type based on the attacker's body type or whether they're under the effects of cloak of flames.
• The 'scratch' and 'squirrel scratch' special attacks now critically hit when the defender has no shielding.

Sex:

• Added tail-to-nipple, tail-to-crotch-nipple, tentacle-to-nipple, and tentacle-to-crotch-nipple sex actions, allowing you to penetrate fuckable nipples with tails and tentacles.
• Characters will no longer desire to perform tail-to-breast or tentacle-to-breast sex types during sex, as those sex types are now covered instead by the newly added tail/tentacle actions.
• Characters will no longer perform deep penetrations on sleeping size queens or masochists.
• Added support for characters to be immobilised in multiple ways during sex (for example, sleeping slaves in a cell with chains will now start sex being both asleep and chained up).
• Sleeping characters no longer lose affection towards partners at the end of sex due to non-con or failure to satisfy.

Other:

• The 'bonding' slave interaction event will no longer occur between two dolls (as it doesn't make sense for dolls to attempt to bond with one another).
• The 'News' action at Dominion's central plaza now randomly shows each news variation once before being disabled (and is enabled again when leaving and re-entering the tile).
• Lunexis now has two pairs of breasts instead of three.
• Changed the colour and name of the default orifice-interior colour from 'fleshy-pink' to 'flesh'.
• When debug mode is enabled, dying clothing and dying/reforging weapons no longer requires dye brushes or reforge hammers.
• Renamed a few slave jobs to better reflect the job that the slave is performing (such as 'bedroom' -> 'bedroom servant').
• Imp fortresses no longer undergo a complete reset after you've defeated them all plus Meraxis. Instead, they will return to their fortress ~5 days after defeating Meraxis, but their surrounding tunnels will remain pacified. This is retroactively applied when loading into this version.
• Removed pink and dark pink from pig-morphs' natural fur colours, as they seemed to be too pink to be believable as a natural colour.
• Made it slightly more obvious when a character is bald in the overview appearance tooltip (when hovering over a character's race icon by their name).
• Slightly improved tooltip UI for clothing with fetish effects.
• NPCs' relationships with other NPCs will now be displayed in their character information screen, provided that you have met the other NPC.

Bugs:

• Parsing and typo fixes.
• Fixed bug where guests in the mansion would always stay in their room, even if they had a job.
• If you have an item of clothing which provides vaginal or vaginal urethra cum retention, then creampies in those orifices will be reduced to the maximum of 250mL when becoming pregnant, instead of being expelled entirely.
• Fixed several incorrect descriptions during sex related to sleeping characters.
• Fixed incorrect descriptions for when encouraging creampie/knot/pullout for self-penetrating characters.
• When setting a slave free, their assigned hourly slave jobs are now reset to IDLE (and when loading into this version, guests who have an incompatible slave job assigned to an hour slot will have that job reset to IDLE).
• Fixed issue where using a used condom on an NPC while not in sex would either not work or possibly soft-lock the game.
• Fixed bug where a character's girlcum was being treated as musky only if their cum was musky, instead of whether or not their girlcum had the 'musky' fluid modifier.
• Bimbo sentence parsing no longer inserts bimbo additions around noises denoted by '~' (e.g. ~Mmm!~).
• Fixed background errors being thrown due to missing 'sexBlockedReason' elements in worldType files.
• Fixed issue where the 'pugilist', 'elder lilin's helper', and 'sex doll' jobs were available for guests in the mansion.
• Random NPCs will no longer be sleeping during their encounters with you, nor will your elementals sometimes be asleep.
• Fixed issue where it was possible to have no actions available, causing you to get stuck, in Eisek's 'Confront the mob' scene.
• Damage calculations in combat now correctly take into account the attacker's unarmed damage type.
• Fixed the 'scold' greeting for offspring having the prostitute scene trigger for mugger offspring and vice versa.
• Fixed issue where Submission attackers could spawn with the prostitute occupation, instead of all being muggers as intended.
• Unlocking doll closets before obtaining a slaver license or permission to house friendly occupants now correctly grants you access to room management menus in Lilaya's mansion.
• Fixed bug where 'Anthro Special' dolls would always spawn with no tail, even if their species should have a tail.
• Fixed bug where if you chose to buy an 'Anthro Special' doll and proceeded to select a subspecies, then switched back to the DD or HH option, the purchased doll would be of the subspecies you originally selected instead of a default human.
• Removed races which were incompatible with doll bodies from the list when purchasing an anthro doll from Saellatrix (e.g. snow-leopards require fluffy fur, which is unavailable for dolls).
• Clothing enchanted with the 'cum retention' behaviour now correctly has the generic name postfix of 'plugging' instead of 'transformation'.
• Fixed issue where clothing with the same colour patterns would sometimes not stack with one another, which was due to one or more hidden pattern colours being different.
• Fixed bug where you couldn't rehouse purchased dolls, even if the targeted room had a doll closet upgrade.
• Fixed bug where the action to enter Dominion Express was duplicated when it was meant to be disabled, allowing you to enter the building during closing hours.
• Doll sex events no longer describe a risk of pregnancy (as dolls cannot be impregnated).
• Penile and vaginal urethra status effects during sex will no longer be displayed if the character does not have a penis or vagina, respectively.
• Fixed bug where you could transform an imp into a demon by shrinking them below the minimum height value when transforming their leg configuration from quadrupedal to bipedal.
• When starting a new game, your aura will no longer be stuck at 0 until you sleep.
• When starting a new game, your core health and arcane values will now be correctly set to 1.
• Sleeping characters and immobile dolls will no longer use items during sex scenes.
• When a character is switched from a normal sex slot to a spectator slot, all ongoing actions involving that character are now correctly stopped.
• Hannah will now correctly turn up to work at the gym at 08:00 without needing you to exit and re-enter the gym first.
• Fixed issue where cumming on an armpit or marking it with heavy lipstick would cum on/mark the target's legs instead of their torso.
• Fixed bug where you could get prizes from Moreno in Elis's Farmer's Market even if you had no faire tickets, and also a bug where the metal and wooden bat prizes would not actually give you a bat.
• Random NPCs in the club will no longer spawn wearing a balaclava.
• Fixed a few background errors being thrown when generating some clothing outfits.
• Lunexis now has the correct surname to indicate she's a direct daughter of Lunette.
• Fixed issue where a character could be identified as an aunt/uncle to their own child (even if the child was a result of sibling incest, having the parents tagged as aunts/uncles seemed unnecessary).
• Fixed bug where the dialogue would sometimes be partially scrolled down when starting a sex scene.
• Fixed issue with Sleip and Nir having some incorrect covering colours.

Just a little longer

I'm sorry that I haven't managed to get the update released yet, but after missing the last deadline I ended up getting very stressed and as a result I've struggled to make significant progress. I need to give myself some more breathing room to get back on track, and so while it's sure to be a disappointment, I'm going to push the release date back to Friday, 31st May.

Even if the update isn't totally ready by then I'll still release it on that day. I'll make another post in five or so days from now to let you know how things are going. I'm really sorry again for the delay, and thank you so much for your patience and support. I'll see you again soon!

A few more days...

I really hate making these posts more than anything, especially after I was so confident in giving a release date in my last post, but I need a few more days to get this next preview update ready.

Everything was going very well, but then over the past couple of days I've hit a bit of a wall and struggled to get the end of the new quest content finished. It shouldn't take me much longer to get it done now, so I should have it released some time around the middle of next week. If it's going to take me any longer than that (it really shouldn't...) I'll make another post to let you know.

Sorry for the disappointment, and I'll get this update to you as soon as I possibly can!

More Progress News

I've been working hard this week trying to get the quest content added for a release this Sunday. Unfortunately, however, it's taking me longer to implement than I'd hoped, so realistically I'm going to need another week to get it completely finished.

This delay isn't due to any struggles I've had with getting new mechanics added or anything like that, it's simply because there's been so much to add. I've got the whole start of the quest done, from obtaining Angelixx's diary (which is what triggers it), to meeting a contact, to entering the first area and then proceeding into the new map. The first section of that new map is also completely done, and the basic framework for all the rest of the quest's content has been added (and by basic framework I mean dialogue nodes with just 'TODO - brief overview of scene'). There are no more unique NPCs to add, nor items or mechanics, so there shouldn't be anything unexpected to slow me down. It's just a matter of writing the content and implementing/improving aspects of the quest as I go.

In order to really give myself enough time to get it completely done, I'll say that the update will be out no later than the following Sunday, 12th May. I absolutely will be able to get it finished by then, and I'll make another post next week letting you know how things are going.

Thank you for your patience, and once again for your support! I'll make the wait worth it, and I'll see you again soon!

Update News

I've got a lot of bugs fixed and made quite a few small changes, but the content which I want to get finished for this next preview update (v0.4.10) isn't close to being ready yet. I had hoped to get it released before Wednesday, 1st May, but that doesn't seem realistic at the moment. As such, I'm now aiming to get this content finished and have the preview update released by the end of this week. I'll make another post by Friday to let you know how things are going.

The content which I'm adding is a quest involving the newly added doll race. I don't want to say too much about it for fear of spoiling it for you, but it will include navigating through a new map, sneaking or fighting past several enemies, and have three different ends for it (one of which will be a bad end).

Thank you so much once again for your support, and I'll see you again in my next post!

Version 0.4.9.9 More Hotfixing

This was just meant to be a tiny hotfix to address the issue where Lilaya would use the new 'finger insemination' sex action and then get mad at you for impregnating her, but I ended up making some improvements to tattoos and some other things...

I'm still planning on making the artwork preview posts early next week, and I'll make a post on Friday to let you all know how things are going then. Thank you again for your support, and I'll see you again soon!

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!

v0.4.9.9 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.

v0.4.9.9 Patch Notes

Tattoos:

• Added a 'Save/Load' dialogue when customising tattoos, allowing you to save your tattoo presets and then quickly load them into other slots or onto other characters.
• Tattoos can now be enchanted with 'creampie retention' in the same manner as clothing, and enchanted clothing or tattoos with a creampie retention enchantment now have the generic name postfix of 'of plugging' instead of 'of transformation'.
• Added a 'Modify' button to the tattoo addition screen, allowing you to modify your current tattoos instead of having to remove and then add new ones.
• The 'written out' tattoo counter style is now capitalised.
• Improved the images for 'Horse-shoe' and 'Lines' tattoos, renamed 'Paw' tattoo to 'Dog paw' and improved the image, and added 'Detailed flowers' and 'Cat paw' tattoos.

Other:

• Kate's womb tattoo now tracks current litter size, and she has some minor dialogue related to this when the player reacts to her pregnancy for the first time.
• The 'D.E.C.K' item is now classed as a unique item, and after purchasing one from Saellatrix, you are unable to purchase any more. If you have more than one D.E.C.K., extras will be removed when loading into this version and the cost will be refunded.
• The 'Nymphomaniac' perk now causes the owner to gain the 'Pent-up' and 'Chastity' status effects twice as quickly as normal.

Bugs:

• Characters who have a negative desire towards the pregnancy or cum addict fetishes will no longer use the 'Finger insemination' sex actions (so Lilaya will no longer use this action and then get mad at you for impregnating her).
• When buying a doll, Saellatrix now correctly says that your doll will be wearing a maid uniform instead of cat lingerie when confirming your choices.
• Fixed bug where Vicky would often repeatedly react to her and the player's pregnancy as though she was seeing it for the first time.
• Fixed incorrect tooltip descriptions and sizing for the 'Add/Remove' buttons in the tattoo management menu.
• The tooltip for the active item in the enchantment load/save screen now works.
• Reduced the chance for demons to have male offspring from 75% to 10%.
• Fixed NPC transformative potion generation setting ass size instead of hip size.
• Fixed issue where multiple characters with the 'object of desire' trait would all increase the orgasms required before satisfied, instead of this effect only being applied once as intended.
• Fixed issue where arm wings were described in a character's body description as being large enough to allow flight when they actually weren't.

Version 0.4.9.8 "Hotfix" Release

While this version was supposed to be a hotfix focused on fixing bugs, I ended up getting distracted and adding some small new features and content. Although I have managed to get some bugs fixed, the issue where stored cum (in condoms, milking rooms, and in orifices) would update to take into account transformations in the owner's body took longer to fix than expected, so I didn't get nearly as many bugs fixed as I wanted to. There was (so far as I can see) only one major game-breaking bug in the last version, where the game would sometimes freeze and crash when an orgasm sex action caused body parts to get covered in cum. I've got that fixed, so hopefully there won't be any need for another hotfix...

The next update is almost certainly going to be a preview version on SubscribeStar. I'll release more details of what's going to be in it soon, but for now I'm planning on adding a chunk of new content and fixing more bugs. I'll also make the artwork preview posts for supporters on SubscribeStar within the next few days.

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

v0.4.9.8 Patch Notes

Engine/Modding:

• Minor improvements to Body.java class xml save formatting.
• Added copy constructors to all body part classes.

Gameplay:

• If the 'non-con' and 'rape-play allowed by default' content settings are enabled, then random NPCs with the unwilling fuck toy fetish will have 'rape-play' sex actions after defeating them in combat instead of the normal 'sex' ones.

Items:

• You can now use the arcane makeup set in sex.
• Added a new 'creampie retention' enchantment for clothing, which when used in combination with an orifice modifier, prevents creampies from being lost over time in the associated orifice.

Sex:

• Mute NPCs will no longer act as though they're trying to talk when reacting to the possible loss of their orifices' virginity.
• Orgasming characters will now only say the 'get pregnant' lines when giving their partner a creampie if their 'impregnation' fetish desire is positive, their partner is fertile, and the orgasming character is virile.
• Re-added 'Finger insemination' action which was temporarily removed from Brax's old sex content some time in v0.2.x. The action is now split into 4, which take the form of: partner-start-fingering, partner-ongoing-fingering, self-start-fingering, and self-ongoing-fingering.
• Added tracking of cum on body parts during sex, which can be seen in the inventory slot tooltips, and which is used to determine the availability and effects of the re-added 'Finger insemination' sex actions.

Combat:

• 'Feral bite' now critically hits when the target has less than 25% health remaining.

Other:

• Added a 'Lip lisps' content setting, allowing you to enable or disable the lisp effect gained from having huge lips. (Accessed via 'Content options' -> 'Bodies' -> 'Lip lisps', being enabled by default.)
• Several very minor improvements to UI (transformation menu modifiers buttons, transparent covering icon, piercing inventory tooltips).
• Renamed 'clear' body covering to 'transparent' to make it a little more obvious what the covering was meant to represent.
• Dolls now correctly have doll-specific fluids (milk, cum, girlcum), which all start with 'slimy' and 'mineral oil' fluid modifiers. Doll fluids are worth 1/4 that of normal fluids.
• When a creampie dirties clothing that's covering the creampied orifice, the game is no longer interrupted by a message telling you that that's just happened, and instead a 'Creampie' event is added to the event log (in the bottom-right of the UI).
• Increased the true age of several unique demon characters (Amber, Kate, Natalya, Zaranix, and Lunexis), although their 'age appearance' remains unaffected.

Bugs:

• Parsing fixes.
• Fixed rare issue where the game would sometimes freeze and crash when an orgasm action caused body parts to get covered in cum.
• Fixed bug where the covering of taurs' asses and hips was linked to their torso covering instead of their leg covering.
• Fixed bug where unique NPCs who are your slaves (i.e. Scarlett and Brax) would never go to sleep.
• The 'barren' and 'firing blanks' perks now correctly stop applying their anti-pregnancy/impregnation effects when removed from your active trait bar.
• Additional speech patterns (such as those in bimbo speech) are no longer applied at the start of sentences. (So weird sentences such as 'Hello., um, I'm a bimbo!' will no longer appear.)
• The gender of offspring is no longer determined solely by gender preferences, and instead now correctly takes into account the 'chanceForMaleOffspring' value from the mother's race.
• Fixed bug where demonic offspring were unaffected by genetics.
• Fixed bug with stored cum (in the milking room and in orifices), where if the cum provider was transformed, their transformation would be reflected in their stored cum. (i.e. A character's stored cum now correctly saves their genetics at the moment of storage.)
• Fixed bug where if you attacked random characters who you've befriended in Elis's alleyways, you'd be presented with a scene which had no actions, preventing you from progressing.
• Made some very minor dialogue improvements to random NPC post-combat dialogue and corrected some minor inconsistencies in some of the scenes.
• Using the debug menu in sex will now correctly return you to the sex scene when exiting from it, instead of putting you inthe default dialogue and thereby breaking the game.

Hotfix Soon

This is just a small post to let you know that the hotfix will be released in a couple of days or so. I was originally hoping to have it released by now, but I got side-tracked while fixing the bug where demonic offspring weren't inheriting parental features and somehow ended up adding support to give used condoms more interactions. That, and related issues, took most of my time over the last couple of days, and so now I need a little more time to get the bugs fixed which I originally wanted to. So, I'll see you again soon with the hotfix!

Working on the Next Update

Since the release on Monday, I've been working on fixing bugs for the next update, which will most likely be numbered as v0.4.9.8 (or something close to that). I've only seen one game-breaking bug reported so far, which occurs when cumming on someone's body in sex. I've got that bug fixed, and I'll get it pushed out as part of a small bug fixing update within the next few days.

I'm going to continue fixing bugs until that release, after which I'll start writing content (and probably continue fixing even more bugs) for the next preview release for the supporters over on SubscribeStar. I also have some artwork to share with supporters, so I'll make a post about that soon as well over on my SubscribeStar page.

I'll see you again as soon as I've got the bug fixing update ready! Thank you all once again for your support and feedback, and for playing Lilith's Throne!

Version 0.4.9.5 Release

As mentioned in my previous post, this update mainly focuses on finishing off the doll race mechanics and adding support for 'sleep sex'. After adding sleep sex content to slaves, I managed to find time to add this content for Kate as well. That came at a cost of not being able to fix as many bugs as I wanted to, however, and as such I'm a little worried that this update might have a bad bug or two lurking somewhere. If that proves to be the case, I will get a hotfix released by the end of the week.

There really are so many things which I wanted to add for this update, but as I've only just got back into the swing of things I simply ran out of time in which to implement them. As mentioned before, the doll 'command' immobility mechanics in particular were quite time-consuming to implement, as I had to add support for a non-reactive character to all sex actions and quick sex descriptions. Now that that's complete, I can focus on bug fixes and content additions for the next couple of updates.

Finally, I know that this update is a little thin considering how much time has passed since the last release. Please consider this to be the start of a return to a more frequent update schedule, and I'll make sure to get a decent amount of content added within the next couple of updates.

Thank you all so much once again for your support, concern, and kind comments over the past few months. I'll make another post on Friday to let you know how things are going, 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!

v0.4.9.5 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.

v0.4.9.5 Patch Notes

Engine/Modding:

• Added parser hooks for slave jobs and slave job settings, prefaced SLAVE_JOB_ and SLAVE_JOB_SETTING_.
• Added an optional 'doesNotAge' value to subspecies files to set whether or not members of that subspecies have their age appearance increment as normal.

Gameplay:

• Added more dialogue to Saellatrix (the succubus in the new sex toy shop).
• Finished implementing doll race mechanics, more details below.
• Added support for 'sleep sex', allowing you to engage in sleep sex with your sleeping slaves or friendly occupants. Your sleeping partner requires the new 'heavy sleeper' perk to be an active trait in order to have sex with them in their sleep.
• Added 'heavy sleeper' perk, as mentioned above, which enables sleep sex and also applies a 10x health and aura regeneration rate. (This addition did not require perk trees to be reset, so all characters' perks are unaffected when loading into this version.)
• Added sleep sex content for Kate (the succubus in 'Succubi's Secrets' in Dominion's shopping arcade).
• If the player has the 'heavy sleeper' trait active, then slave sex when sleeping in your room will now take place as sleep sex instead of being woken for sex by horny slaves. (Slaves require the 'Use you' permission and to be assigned to your room in order to be involved in this scene.)

Dolls:

• You can now purchase dolls from Saellatrix, with several options available to customise the doll when purchasing it.
• Removed some references implying dolls could get pregnant/impregnate others.
• Dolls will no longer spawn with special perks (such as 'dirty minded', 'health fanatic', etc.).
• Dolls no longer suffer from chastity status effects.
• You now correctly receive no essences post-sex from dolls' orgasms.
• Dolls' perk trees are no longer described as being a work-in-progress.

Sex:

• Added a new content option for setting how often you want to see full descriptions of revealed body parts during sex. (Accessed via 'Content options' -> 'Sex & Fetishes' -> 'Full exposure descriptions', with 'Always' as the default setting.)
• Minor improvements to some sex action text.
• Immobilised characters can no longer displace or remove clothing.

Other:

• Added dalmatian subspecies for dog-morphs (to be a dalmatian, be a dog-morph with floppy ears and white fur with black spots).
• Added 'femininity' and 'race' as sorting options for the slave management dialogue.
• The shady dealer will no longer sell Biojuice canisters before you've completed the slime queen side quest (to avoid an issue where the quest would not be available if you were already a slime before encountering a slime in Submission for the first time).
• The 'waiter/waitress' slave job now has a 0.5 hourly obedience increment (up from 0) to bring it in line with similar jobs.
• Demons, slimes, youko, elementals, and dolls no longer have their age appearance increment with the passage of time.

Bugs:

• Parsing and typo fixes.
• Fixed game freeze error when using the 'Inspect' action under a slaves' 'Management' tab.
• Fixed incorrect tooltip sizes & formatting for slave jobs.
• Characters who are immobilised in sex scenes can no longer use the 'spread legs' or 'pull hair', 'grab horns', etc. actions.
• Fixed incorrect quick sex description when fucking someone's armpits.
• Minor fixes to dialogue flow in a few places (such as the response tab not resetting to the first one when exiting out of the slave management screen).
• Freedom Certificates no longer disappear when examining them in your inventory.
• Fixed bug where quick loading in the main menu was throwing a background error.
• Fixed issue where some positioning actions were available when they shouldn't have been in 'chair sex' and 'toilet stall' sex positions.

Update on Monday

Over the past week I've been implementing and polishing the final mechanics for the doll race, which mainly consisted of tracking down all the loose ends related to the new 'command' immobilisation type. As every sex action in the game was written with both the performer and the target being able to act/react to it, I've had to go through a lot of the code to add support for the target not reacting at all (i.e. acting like an inanimate doll). I also had a few other issues come up, such as dolls needing to be immune to aging (which I also applied to some other races like demons), and quick sex descriptions needing new descriptions for inanimate characters. I've got all of the doll mechanics finished and tested now, and I'll do some further testing of it before the update.

After finishing the 'command' immobilisation mechanic, I realised that it was very similar to how I'd implement the mechanics for 'sleep sex'. As such, I'm just finishing the implementation of that tonight, which will allow you to have sex with sleeping slaves (so long as they have a new 'heavy sleeper' perk). I'll add more instances of sleep sex with other characters later on, but to start with it will only be available with slaves sleeping in the mansion.

I'll need to finish and test the implementation of the sleep sex mechanic tomorrow, after which I'm going to focus on fixing bugs for the rest of the weekend. I'll have the update in a state that's ready for release on Monday, and so I'll see you again in the release post then! Thank you once again for your support!

Next Update Info.

So, as for what's going to be in this next update, the main addition is going to be the completion of the new doll race mechanics. You'll be able to buy dolls from Lovienne's Luxuries, house them in the mansion, and interact with them in a manner similar to slaves. I've also added a new 'command' immobilisation type for dolls, so that you can command them to remain completely immobile during sex.

I'll also have a lot of bugs fixed and some other minor things added (such as a Dalmatian subspecies). I will have this update released by the end of this month at the latest, and I'll make another post to let you know how things are going next Friday.

Thank you all so much for your patience over the past few months. I'll do my best over the next week to flesh out this update and try to get more content added before the release. See you again soon!

Update Soon

Once again I'm very sorry for failing to make a post or get an update released in so long. I've been in a very bad state of mind for the past few months, which has made it very difficult to work on Lilith's Throne. I really feel very angry with myself for not having made a post sooner to let you know that I'm still here and trying to get back on track with everything. Before making Lilith's Throne (and afterwards), I've been in the same position as you and wondered why a dev hasn't posted an update in months. I've been struggling to do much of anything since the start of December, but even with that being the case it is inexcusable for me to have not made at least a small 'I'm still here' post, and so all I can do is say that I am extremely sorry for leaving you in limbo for so long.

The reason for me making this post today is that I've recently resolved the main cause of the stress which has been crippling me for so long. As such, I'm getting back to work on Lilith's Throne, and I am very confident that I'll be able to (finally) get this next update released by the end of this month. I'll make another post on Friday to give you more details on what will be in this update.

Thank you so much for all of your kind and supportive comments, and for your support over on SubscribeStar. I'm sorry again for how poor my communication has been, and for the lack of updates. I will do my very best to not let this happen again.
