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.

Version 0.4.8.8 Preview Release

Hello again,

First of all, I'm so sorry for how long it's been since the last update. I've just been completely out of it due to some stressful things happening in my life recently, and while I had time in which to work on Lilith's Throne I found it very difficult to get into the right frame of mind to get much productive work done. I'll do my best to improve the release time of the next version. I really am very sorry about the delay, and I'm very thankful to all of you for your patience and support over the past couple of months.

As for what's in this version, there are two main pieces of content, several new artworks, some new clothing and other minor changes, and a lot of bugfixes. The larger piece of content which has been added is from DSG, and involves meeting a dragon, Eisek, in the market in Elis (there's also some silly mode content for it as well). The other content is a new character, Sterope, who can be found in the Elis Enforcer station and who has some BDSM and feral (horse) sex content.

After this release I'm going to be working on fixing and updating the wiki, as well as finally adding the main quest content which I keep on delaying. I'll also try to add some content for Silence and Shadow while I'm at it. I'll try to get that version released to you within the next few weeks, and will do my best to keep you updated on progress here on my blog and SubscribeStar.

Thank you again so much for your patience and support, and I will do my best to get back on track and put an end to these unacceptable delays.

P.S. I know that it's been a while now since the last public release, but I thought that I'd stick with the usual pattern of alternating public-preview releases. I'll do my very best to get the next public version released to you within a few weeks!

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.

v0.4.8.8 Patch Notes

DSG's Eisek Quest:

Added a new NPC merchant to Elis's Farmer's Market, who also serves to gate early access to the dragon TF behind a quest.
Added three side quests related to this NPC (with one of these quests being exclusive to silly mode).
Ralph no longer sells dragonfruit, as this new NPC is now the one who sells it (provided his quest is completed in the best way).
Added: 5 new clothing items for new NPC outfit; 1 new clothing item for silly mode; 1 new weapon for silly mode; 4 new Items for new NPC to sell; 3 new quests (1 exclusive to silly mode); 4 new quest items (1 exclusive to silly mode).
Full patch notes and details can be seen in the PR here: https://github.com/Innoxia/liliths-throne-public/pull/1718

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

Added artwork for both Wolfgang and Karl.
Added artwork for Jess, which includes pregnant and multi-boob variations.

Contributors:

Fixed bug where vaginal, lactation, and virginity fetishes had incorrect sorting (based on left-aligned fetishes being active/giving and right-aligned being passive/receiving) in the fetish menu. (by Maxis010)
Changed the Body.setFeral() method to not set the body as feral if the subspecies does not have feral attributes or is null. (PR#1771 by SightglassCat)
Fixed missing background textures in slime and half-demon race icons. (PR#1772 by SightglassCat)
Added 'winged' to NPC lists and tooltips for winged characters of a race that usually does not have wings. (PR#1724 by Stadler76)
Made NPCs react more logically to unexpected genitals being revealed in sex scenes, with genital reveals now based on whether the perceived gender of the subject normally has one. (PR#1741 by NoHornyOnMain)
Enabled tattoo rendering with non-standard colours (e.g. via save editing). (PR#1742 by NoHornyOnMain)
Fixed issue where setting a character's feral subspecies to null wouldn't display the correct behaviour of reverting their feral status. (by Stadler76)
Updated the 'LTSuperGuide' which is included in the game's folder. (by C4MG1RL)

Engine/Modding:

Added 'FITS_MUZZLES_EXCLUSIVE' and 'FITS_BEAKS_EXCLUSIVE' item tags for tagging clothing which can only be equipped on characters with muzzles or beaks.
Added hook to AbstractItemEffectType values via an 'ITEM_EFFECT_TYPE_' parsing prefix.

Gameplay:

Added a new character, 'Sterope' to the Enforcer station in Elis, who has some BDSM and feral sex content.

Clothing:

Added 'Sturdy Steed' clothing set, which provides +5 physique and +25 max health.
Added: 'Bridle' (androgynous, mouth slot, Sturdy Steed set, only fits muzzles).
Added: 'Saddle' (androgynous, leg slot, Sturdy Steed set, only fits quadrupedal bodies).
Added: 'Horseshoes' (androgynous, foot slot, Sturdy Steed set, only fits hoofs, only fits quadrupedal bodies).
Added: 'Tail bandage' (androgynous, tail slot, Sturdy Steed set).

Combat:

The two final upgrades to the Vacuum spell no longer strip clothing from unique NPCs. (As stripping clothing from quest-critical NPCs was resulting in issues with their content.)

Sex:

The 'GenericSexualPartner' NPC class no longer spawns with addictive fluids, so as to prevent issues with their partners getting addicted (which was happening with Jess).
For size-difference characters, the smaller character can now kiss crotch-boobs in the missionary position, and can now kiss breasts instead of kissing mouth in the mating press position.
You can now use the 'GENERIC_ORGASM_CREAMPIE' action in masturbation scenes (which is the same action that provides the 'Handjob Climax' orgasm action).
Added autofellatio and autocunnilingus sex actions, which require the new 'hpermobility' perk to unlock, are limited to non-taurs, and which work in most but not all sex positions.
Added a small speech variation to the creampie sex action.

Other:

Both types of wet wipes now additionally clean all equipped clothing.
You can no longer assign work hours to friendly occupants if they want to sleep during that hour.
Improved method of calculating sleep hours for slaves and friendly occupants so that they prefer to sleep as close to the mid-point of their natural sleep hours as they can.
Jess can now be impregnated, and you can pay her (5000 flames) to take a breeder pill before having sex with her. She also no longer has the barren perk nor a hatred of the pregnancy fetish, and also she now refuses to consume items during sex.
Demons, half-demons, and imps will no longer spawn with demonic horse tails if they're bipedal.
The 'ladykiller' and 'minx' perks are no longer traits which require equipping to work.
Added 'hypermobility' perk in the physical perk tree, which unlocks autofellatio and autocunnilingus sex actions.
Added some dialogue referencing citizens of the Realm travelling over the Endless Sea to new lands (as posters in the nightclub, at the Slavery Administration building, and as a minor piece of dialogue when paying a prostitute's fine to remove them from the game).
Added Hannah pregnancy reactions to her encounter in 'Lights out'.
Added a couple of new talk options to Kheiron (one for Fae & Silvia and one for Sterope, both of which require them to have told you when they visit the tavern to be available), and his talk scenes now correctly grey out when they're active.
Made Fae and Silvia a little taller to better suit their fox-taur form.
Spotted hyena females no longer spawn in with big clits, and Hannah now has a normal sized clit. (I felt like having every spotted-hyena spawn with a huge clit was too much, but I'm planning on adding a tribe of spotted-hyena-girls with clit-dicks later on.)

Bugs:

Typo and parsing fixes.
Fixed game-breaking bug where if you were unable to equip a sex toy which was in your partner's inventory during sex, then clicking on that sex toy would throw background errors and cause the inventory/game to become unresponsive.
Compacted the compatible slot names in the tooltips for piercing items, so that it doesn't run over into another line and cause the tooltip to overflow.
Fixed issue where there'd be no slaves in the stocks nor in any of the shops if you entered Slaver Alley before midnight after starting a new game.
Fixed issue where the Rental Mommy encounter would throw a background (harmless?) error every time it was triggered.
Fixed bug where the slaves in the stocks and shops in Slaver Alley would sometimes not be saved correctly.
Fixed bug where exported transformation presets for Elementals which were not bound to arcane or water would cause the transformation preset menu to break.
Fixed bug where stopping a sex scene in which you were a spectator (such as spying on Rose and Lilaya in Lilaya's lab) would cause the description for that scene to be displayed the next time you used the 'Quick sex' action.
Astrapi is now always considered to be feminine, ignoring your 'androgynous bodies' setting (as it fits her content for her to always be treated as a 'she').
Spell tooltips and predictive text in combat now show their potential damage range instead of a random value from within that range.
Fixed the Vacuum spell's first upgrade downgrading the health shielding debuff from -10 to -5, and also fixed the second and third upgrade tooltips to show their full effects.
Fixed bug in Helena's custom slave menu where you could customise a slave to be an angel by swapping back and forth between the spinneret tab.
Lunette's marauders and raiders in the Foloi Fields now have several of their fetish desires set to 'like' instead of 'love', as the 'love' setting was making it look like they had the associated fetish even though they didn't.
Characters (including the player) can no longer be milked of their cum or girlcum in a milking room if they're wearing any clothing which prevents them from orgasming.
Removed ability to fight Jhortrax after besting him in the 'Tameshigiri' scene, due to numerous inconsistencies with the resulting post-combat scenes.
Fixed background error being thrown when completing an incubation pregnancy of a single egg/offspring.
Fixed bug where transformation presets didn't take into account whether or not the target or preset were of 'short stature', which inadvertently allowed you to transform demons into imps and vice versa by using transformation presets.
Fixed bug where the greyed-out 'load' button for incompatible transformation presets would still work if you clicked on it.
Jess will no longer have random fluid addictions (and all of her fluid addictions will be cleared upon loading into this version).
Fixed bug where if none of the colours defined for an item of clothing within an outfit file were available for that clothing, the clothing would spawn with broken colourings. (This was mostly affecting jewellery on randomly-spawned NPCs.)
Fixed some inconsistent availabilities of 'offer/request orifice' actions in the breeding stall & glory hole positions.
Your demonic offspring will no longer spawn with heavily enchanted weapons which would push them over their enchantment capacity.
Characters in sex who are in the resisting pace and who are involved in finger-anus or finger-vagina sex actions will no longer be described as stimulating their orgasming partner's prostate.
Fixed bug where after taking a shower in the gym, the text was only shown after you moved away from the tile.
Fixed incorrect description for the item 'platinum Bank of Dominion card'.
Fixed bug where you could masturbate in areas in which masturbation/sex was meant to be blocked (such as in the bank).
Fixed issue where the one-night-stand characters spawning 'Lights Out' would almost always be virgins.
Fixed minor UI issue with the inventory, where if you dropped or took all items while not on the first page of that inventory, the rendering would mess up.
Also fixed a related issue where if you took or dropped the last item in an inventory page, the UI would be left on the empty page instead of moving down to the next one.
Resetting your race via the debug menu no longer clears virginity loss information.
Filled in some missing virginity location text.
Fixed issue where use of NPC's hourlyUpdate() method would not handle flag resets correctly, resulting in rare instances of unexpected gameplay behaviour.
Fixed bug where changing a character's leg configuration would regrow their hymen.

Version 0.4.7.5 Preview Release

Hello again,

First of all, I'm sorry about how long it's been since the previous update. As I've previously mentioned, some personal issues which continued through December and January meant that I wasn't able to work on LT as much as I normally do. After that, I got a little swamped by bug reports and it took me a while to work my way through them, which is why this release was delayed over the past couple of weeks. Thankfully that's all over now, so the next updates should be released more regularly.

As for what's in this version, there are a lot of bug fixes and minor additions to the game, but there are no large content additions. I'm going to be focusing on that front for the next few releases, with main quest, side character, and minor place content being the focus.

There's also new art for three characters in this version. FriendlyAlienFriend (https://twitter.com/thealienfriend) has created art for Vanessa/Ms. Cunningham, while Davyn (https://twitter.com/davyndraw) has created art for both Kalahari and Kruger.

Thank you all so much for your patience and support over the past few months, and I promise that I'll do my best to get the next releases out in a more reasonable timeframe. I'm aiming to get the next release (v0.4.8) out within two weeks from now, and will make a progress post next week to let you know how things are going!

P.S. I know that it's been a while now since the last public release, but I thought that I'd stick with the usual pattern of alternating public-preview releases so that the public release of v0.4.8 will be one that has a chunk of new content in it. I'll do my very best to get it done and released to you within two weeks without delay!

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.

v0.4.7.5 Patch Notes

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

Added artwork for Vanessa/Ms. Cunningham, including pregnant variations.

Davyn's Artwork (https://twitter.com/davyndraw):

Added artwork for Kalahari (lion-girl bartender in the nightclub, 'The Watering Hole').
Added artwork for Kruger (lion-boy nightclub owner in 'The Watering Hole').

Contributors:

Fixed issue where mods which accessed the GameCharacter.getAffectionMap() method could cause an error which led to NPCs disappearing after saving/loading. (by CognitiveMist)
Fixed issue in Meraxis's blowjob and cunnilingus sex scenes, where the game was checking for incorrect fetishes to determine when to end the sex scenes. (by Maxis010)
Fixed issue where you couldn't change your hairstyle in your room's 'Hairstyle & Makeup' menu. (by Maxis010)
Fixed bug where certain black-white colouring combinations wouldn't correctly identify someone as a panda-morph. (by CognitiveMist)
Fixed bug where the 'New Game' button would sometimes not work, requiring a game restart to get it working again. (PR#1752 by CognitiveMist)
Fixed issue where characters who were imported into a game would remain related to the player (or other characters by chance) if they were related to them in the save where they were exported. (PR#1743 by Maxis010)

Engine/Modding:

Added 'FertilisationType' enum (game/character/pregnancy/FertilisationType.java) to track fertilisation type of Litters.
Added 'Nocturnality' enum (game/character/race/Nocturnality.java) for assigning nocturnality values to subspecies. For modded subspecies, you can now define the nocturnality of a subspecies within a 'nocturnality' element. Any subspecies missing this value will default to being biurnal.
Added 'FOOD' and 'DRINK' item tags which should from now on be applied to any modded food or drink items (with the idea being that any effects gained from food or drink can then be applied from any item tagged as such).
Added an optional 'statusEffects' element to modded item xml files, allowing you to define status effects to be applied when the item's effects are triggered (for a commented example see 'res/items/innoxia/pills/fertility.xml').
Added a 'rapePlayBannedAtStart' field to sex managers, allowing you to define whether or not NPCs with the 'unwilling fuck-toy' fetish will start sex in the resisting pace (defaults to true, thereby making it so rape-play NPCs no longer start consensual sex scenes in the resisting pace).
Added 'game.startGenericSex(character)' method to allow quick testing of a generic sex scene between the player and an NPC.
Moved all hard-coded chest and nipple clothing out into the res folder.

Gameplay:

You are now able to impregnate Vanessa/Ms. Cunningham by giving her a 'breeder pill' or 'broodmother pill' during sex.
You can now gain entry to Zaranix's house during the related main quest by repeatedly knocking on the door.
Eating or drinking (via items or scenes in which you eat/drink) now confers positive status effects; 'recently eaten' and 'thirst quenched', respectively.
You can now ask Astrapi about being impregnated once her affection towards you is high enough, after which you will be able to get her pregnant.
Added an encounter in Dominion's park tiles to enable you to discover Natalya outside of Helena quest. It will trigger between 9:00-15:00, if the weather is not an 'arcane storm' or 'stormy sky', if you have travelled to all the park tiles, and if you have either completed Natalya's romance quest or not started it.

Lilaya's house/Slave management:

You can now pick roses from Lilaya's garden (limited to 1 per day).
Added two new slave jobs; 'gardener' (4 slaves max., location is central courtyard garden); 'security' (8 slaves max., first security guard will always be posted at the entrance, with the others patrolling the corridors, has 'answer door' and 'entrance priority' job settings).
Added 'dining room' room upgrade, along with another new slave job, 'waiter'. You can choose to order a meal in the dining room, so long as you have slaves working as a cook and waiter.
Added 'slave lounge' room upgrade. Your slaves will go here when not sleeping.
Slaves will now sleep during idle time; the hours in which they sleep will depend on their race's nocturnality, and will be displayed in the job management screen via 'zzZ' next to the idle hour slots in which they'll be sleeping.
Added a new 'Sleeping' permission category, allowing you to specify whether slaves should sleep at night, during the day, or whenever they want (which will be based on their race's nocturnality).
Added description of slaves present/not present in their room description.
Friendly occupants will now sleep at times based on their race's nocturnality.

Items:

The 'breeder pill' and 'broodmother pill' items now disable the effects of menopause while their effects are active.
Reduced rarity of subspecies books from legendary to rare, so they will now disappear from tiles like ordinary items.
The 'ribbon' clothing can now be equipped on a character's penis.
Added 'micro bikini top' and 'micro bikini bottoms'. Both are feminine and sold by Nyan.

Sex:

NPCs with the 'unwilling fuck-toy' fetish no longer start sex in the resisting pace by default, and must be first allowed to perform rape-play before they'll switch into it.
If not satisfied at the end of sex, NPCs now lose 5 affection towards the person who ended the sex scene, instead of towards all dominant participants.
Improved description of size difference oral availability that's appended to the end of the 'standing' and 'against wall' sex position intros.

Combat:

The 'All out strike' move now has a critical requirement of being the only move used, instead of being used 3 times (which was impossible due to AP cost).
Buffed the 'vulnerable' status effect that's applied via 'Hunting call', 'Talon slash', 'scratch', and 'squirrel scratch' from -2 physical shielding to -10 physical shielding and -5 physique.
The 'Talon slash' combat move now deals 120% of the attacker's unarmed damage, instead of a flat 20.

Other:

Clothing and weapons of the same rarity are now sorted in inventories so that they're grouped together.
Added an 'Always' option to the fetish preferences menu, which makes it so that randomly-generated NPCs will always spawn with that fetish.
The subspecies pages in the encyclopedia now display the subspecies' nocturnality, whether or not they're aquatic, their default leg configuration, and whether or not they're short-statured.
Slightly improved dialogue flow after both instances of combat in the slime queen's tower, and made it so the slime encounter rate in Submission's tunnels if 4 times higher than normal if you're at the start of the slime queen quest (to make it easier to progress the quest).
You no longer need to seduce Wolfgang and Karl in the Bounty hunter lodge if you've previously had sex with them (i.e. during the quest in Kay's textiles).
Added a new 'clothing femininity' option (in 'Content Options' -> 'Gameplay'), allowing you to set clothing femininity values to off, masculine-only, feminine-only, or on.
The 'pregnancy' tattoo counter now includes the bearer's ongoing pregnancy (if applicable) in the count of how many times they've been impregnated.
Added 'pregnancy partners' and 'impregnation partners' tattoo counters, which track how many unique partners have impregnated or been impregnated by the bearer, respectively.
The shady dealer encounter in the alleyways of Dominion will no longer trigger during an arcane storm.
If you have the 'object of desire' trait active, then Angel (in Angel's Kiss) will wait until she's satisfied before ending the sex scene, instead of ending it as soon as you were satisfied.
Characters who have large cum expulsion values now spawn with 'stallion' or 'dragon' condoms, so that their condoms don't break in sex.
The cultist chapels which appear during October in Dominion's streets will no longer spawn in adjacent tiles.
Added better indication of whether or not sex with slaves in the bathing scene in the spa will be considered rape.
Eye clothing which blocks eyes (i.e. the blindfold) now correctly conceals the wearer's eyes. (This will only be noticeable if you encounter an NPC who's already wearing a blindfold, as just like genitals & breasts, once you've seen their eyes then they will remain 'known' even if concealed afterwards.)
Lunexis now has minimum affection towards the player, Meraxis, Aurokaris, and Ursa.
Added 'Gangbang' options to sex actions when interacting with a slave so that you can more easily start a sex scene with all slaves who are present.
Added a shaft in the far west of the Bat Caverns which links them to Dominion.

Bugs:

Parsing, typo, and minor dialogue fixes.
Prevented friendly occupants in Lilaya's mansion from being able to get the 'Mushroom forager' job (it was intended as a background only for offspring found in the Bat Caverns).
Fixed issue where Lilaya would reference her growing a cock to get you pregnant even if she impregnated you via the effect of Amazon's Secret.
Fixed bug where slaves could work in the office or milking room while still being stationed in the slavery administration.
Fixed issue where friendly NPCs having moved out into an apartment, as well as offspring in the alleyways of Dominion, would be affected by arcane storms even though the scenes are described as being inside their apartment.
Fixed incorrect dialogue being displayed after sex with Wolfgang and Karl in 'Kay's Textiles' during Nyan's quest.
Fixed background error being thrown when inserting Kay's buttplug.
Nyan now correctly only wears her weekend outfit (skater dress with no shoes) after she's decided to take weekends off work (i.e. after progressing through her romance quest).
Fixed bug where the impregnation counter for tattoos would increment even if the impregnating character failed to get their partner pregnant, then decrement once the pregnancy possibility resulted in no pregnancy.
Tooltips for ongoing sex status effects no longer cut off half-way through displaying information.
Using quick sex in Astrapi's handjob & armpit scenes now only uses the related handjob/armpit actions. Also using quick sex in Rose's dungeon scene no longer allows her to use her pussy and lose her virginity.
Fixed issue where feral characters who were transformed into a slime would bug out and be identified as a human.
Fixed issue where body randomisation for centaurs was not working for all body parts, and would also increase the randomised character's height twice.
Fixed issue where dirty talk wasn't parsing correctly for random Dominion demon attackers, Kate, and Lilaya.
Fixed raccoon-morphs having hyena-morph crotch breasts.
Fixed issue where the transformation menu's buttons for changing urethra elasticity and plasticity would change throat elasticity and plasticity instead.
Clothing worn by slaves who go to work at a milking room will no longer sometimes completely disappear.
Added a missing 'RESIST_TRANSFORMED_NO_RAPE' dialogue node in Submission's slime tunnel encounters.
Fixed bug in the nightclub where if you were a sub and annoyed and then left your partner, the next partner you found would start off at the same level of annoyance as the one you just left.
Dominant partners in the nightclub will now leave you if you keep on annoying them.
The random partners during sex scenes while working as a cow in Evelyx's Dairy will no longer have fetish desires or orientations which result in them disliking sex.
The headless horseman will no longer regain his virginities between encounters.
Fixed issue where the replacement and displacement descriptions for the 'lowback bodysuit' clothing item were reversed.
The visibility of an asshole of an NPC who has a cloaca is now correctly linked to the groin area, instead of the ass.
Fixed bug where all menu buttons, including loading a saved game, would not work during combat.
Fixed UI issue where some elements which were meant to be shown as disabled, such as forbidden spells, would not render the disabled overlay.
Fixed incorrect slave references in the sleeping/waking scenes in your bedroom.
Fixed issue where slaves would be tagged as having orgasmed 24 hours later than intended while working in the milking room (which led to the 'pent up' status effect not activating at the correct time).
Fixed bug where the cunnilingus demos (giving and receiving) at the cafes in Slaver's Alley would sometimes have their scenes at the start of sex swapped.
Corrected the penis & cum related part of the orgasm description for when a futa character performs a 'Thigh squeeze' orgasm due to receiving cunnilingus.
Fixed issue where removing Kay's chastity cage would always display the scene variation for the minimum time of him having been locked up.
When an NPC forces a transformation on you after losing combat, they will no longer reference a 'no race-cock'.
Fixed issue where you were able to move after losing to Meraxis's three demon subordinates in her citadel, which was allowing you to access her treasury room and avoid being thrown out.
Fixed issue where giving yourself 'demonic-owl' eyes as a slime would change your subspecies from slime to owl-morph, thereby preventing you from accessing the self-transformation menu.
The gryphon's 'Hunting Call' combat move now correctly applies a +20 buff to physique and arcane as described, instead of +15.
Fixed bug where if you unsealed and unequipped a sealed item of clothing during sex, after sex the clothing would be cloned, with one clone remaining in your inventory and the other being re-equipped onto you.
If armpit and/or udder content is disabled in your settings, then in the enchanting menu you will no longer see associated fetish or body part options.
Fixed issue where selecting some transformative potions (such as the pre-made 'Brax's surprise' potion) while they're located in a world tile (i.e. not in a character's inventory) would result in an error being displayed instead of the potion's information.)
Fixed issue where feeding a spider-morph a caffeinated food or drink item would always intoxicate the provider of the food/drink (which was usually the player) instead of the targeted spider-morph.
NPCs should no longer be able to equip clothing onto their partners through other clothing during sex (such as equipping a buttplug on their partner if the partner is wearing trousers).
The 'Wolf-tease' action in Brax's office now works if you're an arctic wolf-girl.
Fixed issue during Nyan's first sex scene where she couldn't restart giving you a blowjob if you pulled out during orgasm.
When having submissive sex with a sissified Vengar, her cage is now correctly removed, and she also now correctly continues to wear a slave collar after being sissified.
NPC names which begin with a non-alphabetic character no longer have 'a' or 'the' automatically appended to the start of their name.
Upgrading rooms in the dungeon in Lilaya's mansion now correctly charges you the associated upkeep costs.
Fixed issue with sex action availability between size difference characters in the 'against wall' position (such as when the shorter character was facing the wall they were able to perform oral on the larger character behind them).
Fixed issue where the encounters while wearing a filly collar in Dominion street tiles were triggering far too frequently.
If a clothing item can be equipped during sex, but not in every possible slot, then the inventory will no longer show it as greyed-out.

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!

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.

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!

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:

Added new artwork for Nyan, by Davyn. (Davyn's twitter: https://twitter.com/davyndraw)

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'.

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.

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!

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.

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

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 '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 'sandals' clothing item (foot slot, androgynous, sold by Monica).

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.

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!

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.

v0.4.4.2 Patch Notes

FriendlyAlienFriend's artwork:

Added new pregnant variations for Nyan's clothed, lingerie, and naked artwork.

Contributors:

Fixed latex stocks always being referred to as black in their description. (PR#1671 by Anonymous-BCFED)
Added a delete button to custom character images, enabling you to remove custom images without having to manually delete the image from the charatcer's 'custom' artwork folder. (PR#1637 by NoStepOnSneks)
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)

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)

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.
