Version 0.1.95 Update Progress

Hello everybody! ^^

I managed to get all of the non-sex-related goals done for this version. I decided to leave the sex-related goals until last, as the multiple-partner sex scenes will require quite a few changes to the underlying structure of the code in the game's sex system. If I were to add in extra sex-related content before applying that rework, all the content would need to be remade. x_x

So, for next week, I'm going to be focusing on all the extra sex stuff (like knotting and position-specific orgasms), as well as getting multiple-partner sex working (and fixing bugs). :3

As always, I build these previews for backers on Patreon, but if you're not a patron, you can also build these previews yourself from the public github (which is always kept up to date with the very latest version):

Version 0.1.90.5 progress:

Gameplay:

Finished Zaranix's house placeholders (the ones after fighting Zaranix). Imported games with a version prior to 0.1.95 should reset Zaranix's quest, allowing you to complete it without experiencing bugs (hopefully).

Added in slave's 'molest' action content.

Added wing size to possible transformations.

Added demonic transformation menu to your phone, as a post-combat victory action over demons, and to demon slaves. (The UI really needs a lot more polishing, but it should be fully functional.)

Added month selection to character creation process. (If you want to edit the date after starting the game, simply change the 'date' value in the save's .xml value. The in-game date is that value plus the amount of minutes shown in the 'minutesPassed' value.)

Added public use slaves in the stocks in Slaver Alley.

Added an incubus variation to the succubus alleyway attacker (also set spawn rates for succubi/incubi to be based on your gender preferences). Also improved variety of clothing worn by succubus/incubus attackers. (Some of the text hasn't been updated for the incubus just yet. It will be finished for the next release.)

Added 'public use' as a job for your slaves. When selected, your slaves will be sent to Slaver Alley's public stocks, where they will be used by randomly generated NPCs.

Added self-doggy oral positions.

Added difficulty setting in the options.

Other:

In-game start date is now set to the current date (instead of 1 week behind).

Added a new name generator for demons.

Slaves can now only clean their clothes/wash their bodies while not at work.

Contributions:

Multiple spelling corrections (submitted via github PR by shutizake).

Bugs:

Fixed an issue with older character exports not being imported correctly (related to an old personality value being changed in newer versions).

Fixed an issue with used condoms causing game imports to break.

Imported slaves can now be impregnated.

Fixed chemise and pantyhose blocking displacement of each other (which was causing a major crash during sex).

Minor grammatical and typo fixes.

Fixed bug where imported slaves would call you by their own name. (Will take effect for newly exported slaves from now on.)

Slaves should now go to, and return from, work on time. (They were an hour late for both.)

Fixed several causes of major errors when importing old games.

Fixed a few minor dialogue bugs in Zaranix's house.

Fixed major bug of Zaranix's house being repeatable once completed. (I will make it repeatable in the future, but for now it needs to be disabled to avoid major bugs & dialogue inconsistencies.)

Fixed succubi only ever using the 'back-to-wall' position.

Fixed bug where some slaves would have unchangeable names like 'horse-girl'.

Stopped used condoms from being able to be spawned in using the debug menu (as it was causing issues).

Versions prior to 0.1.95 will now have all NPC's hair lengths reset to default values (to address broken hair lengths in older versions).

P.S. I'll catch up with all your comments over the weekend! :3

Goals for 0.1.95 (Again) and Rose artwork

Hello again everyone! ^^

As I decided to change the last version from 0.1.95 to 0.1.90, this version's goals are, once again, for 0.1.95. For this version, I'm going to be finishing the slavery & Zaranix placeholders (which I finished today), as well as adding a little more content for addictive fluids. I'll also be working on adding more slavery content, and then I'll move on to focusing entirely on sex-related work and bug fixes.

This version will have its public release on December 15th, and then the week after that I'll be writing in some Christmas content. I'll then be making another public release on December 22nd, and then be taking the week after that off for a Christmas break. ^^

Thank you all so much for your feedback and bug reports!

Goals for 0.1.95:

- Finish Zaranix placeholders (done).
- Finish final slavery placeholders (done).
- Add more slave jobs. Things like assisting Rose, working in a bar/brothel/milking shed, training, etc.
- Add more ways to influence a slave's affection and obedience.
- Improve orgasm dialogue, and add position-specific orgasm scenes.
- Add in body-part recognition for orgasm scenes. Things such as knotting, orifice modifiers, fluid modifiers, etc.
- Add self-doggy (oral) positions, to receive anilingus while the dom.
- Add thigh sex.
- Add in missing content related to the new transformations. Addictive fluids, part modifiers referenced during sex, etc.

MAJOR Work on final improvements to the sex system and add in engine support for multiple-partner sex scenes.

Rose artwork!

I commissioned this artwork of Rose from the artist Jam. You can find them on their SFW blog, and their NSFW blog. :3

Version 0.1.90 Release

Hello everyone! :3

(Sorry this is a little late - some bugs came up at the last minute.)

As you might have seen, I think I pushed myself a little too hard last weekend... I ended up feeling completely exhausted all the way through until Wednesday, so I only had three days in which to work on this release. I tried to get as much done as possible, but I still have a few of my goals left to do, which will be carried over into the next version. (I left a lot of the extra sex content until I implement multiple-partner sex scenes, as it will all have to be refactored into a new system anyway.)

I'm trying to get back to my old sleeping schedule, which will allow me to work on LT again without being super tired all the time. x_x

This is still an early alpha, and will most likely contain bugs and half-finished content!

.jar version:

Pre-zipped: Mega

Full folder: Google Drive

.exe version (Please use this if you are on Windows and have not installed/updated java!):

Pre-zipped: Mega

Full folder: Google Drive

Version 0.1.90 patch notes:

Gameplay:

Finished 95% of Zaranix's content. (Just a few scenes if you choose to fight Zaranix are placeholders.)

Filled in more slavery placeholders (just molest left to do now).

You can now export any character in the game (including yourself) by looking at their character sheet (or your selfie), and clicking the 'Export Character' button in the top-right of the screen. Exported characters can then be imported as a slave at Slaver Alley's Auction Block, where you can then bid on them in an auction.

As a side-effect of implementing the above, you can now start a 'New game with import' with any exported character in the game. (There aren't any special reactions/scenes for playing as an exported character, however.)

Sex:

Added hotdogging actions. (Added to doggy-style and face-to-wall.)

Added 'Doggy-style (receiving oral)' and 'Doggy-style (performing oral)' positions, to give you positions where you can perform or receive anilingus.

Other:

Slightly increased base arousal gain for the receiving partner during anal penetration.

Rose now wears a bell collar and carries a feather duster.

Nyan will now sell the lab coat under 'specials' (after her daily inventory reset).

Changed slave values to reflect their race's rarity/slave suitability.

Items:

Clothing: Bell collar (no femininity requirements, neck slot).

Weapon: Feather duster (pretty much 0 damage). Vicky will sell this (after her daily inventory reset).

Bugs:

Minor typo fixes.

Event log will now correctly update when over 50 entries have been recorded.

Reduced unintended prostitute spawn rate of 80% down to 50%.

Angel ass, wing, & leg values are now properly configured. (Angels are only obtainable through the debug menu at the moment.)

P.S. I'll answer all of your comments over the weekend (and make a hotfix if any huge game-breaking bugs show up)! :3

Update: I'll answer comments tomorrow (Monday). :3

Slight change of goals

Hello again everyone! ^^

As several of you have pointed out, I may have gotten a little carried away when working on update 0.1.89.5. I ended up working until the very early hours of Sunday morning, and as a result, I completely exhausted myself. I've slept a lot over the past few days, and although I feel rested again now, I'm left with just three days until version 0.1.95 is released. As a result, I'm going to revise my targets a little.

Everything always takes 2-3 times longer than I think it will, and although I keep on saying I'll be less ambitious with my goals, it hasn't happened. I've ended up falling into a cycle of setting impossible goals, failing to meet them, then working through weekends and not being able to take a proper rest.

New plan:

With that in mind, I'm going to change all of my goals leading up to Christmas to the following:

0.1.90 - 1st December (Full release) Finish Zaranix, slavery, and sex-related content.

0.1.90.5 - 8th December (Preview) Start work on fixing bugs and implementing multiple-partner sex mechanics.

0.1.95 - 15th December (Full release) Finish implementing multiple-partner sex mechanics.

0.1.96 - 22nd December (Full release) Adding Christmas-related content. I'll break with the pattern of full/preview releases this once so that everyone can see the seasonal content.

29th December (No release) I'll be taking this week off for Christmas.

2018 January will be spent implementing the planned combat & stats rework, which will then take the game up to 0.2.0. After that, the vast majority of development time will be spend adding in new content.

Please understand that this is in no way a reduction in the amount of work I'll be doing each Monday-Friday. I've just finally come to terms with the fact that I've been setting too many goals for myself, so I won't feel pressured into working over the weekends anymore. (Which has been having a noticeable impact in the amount of new bugs I've been introducing to the code, as I've been working while tired.)

Goals for 0.1.90:

So, with all that being said, the final things I'm going to be finishing over the next three days (for Friday's 0.1.90 release) are as follows (although there are quite a few items on the list, I should definitely be able to get it done by Friday):

- Finish Zaranix's content.
- Finish writing slave placeholder content.
- Add more slave jobs. Things like assisting Rose, working in a bar/brothel/milking shed, training, etc.
- Add more ways to influence a slave's affection and obedience.
- Improve orgasm dialogue.
- Add in position-specific orgasm scenes.
- Add in body-part recognition for orgasm scenes. Things such as knotting, orifice modifiers, fluid modifiers, etc.
- Improve anilingus and add it to more positions.
- Add thigh sex and hotdogging.
- Work on final improvements to the sex system.
- Add in missing content related to the new transformations. Addictive fluids, part modifiers referenced during sex, etc.

Version 0.1.89.5 Update Progress

Hello again everyone! :3

Again, I'm so sorry that these updates usually run a few hours late. I think I might stop giving an estimated release time in the future, and simply say "released before I sleep on X day of the week"...

I spent this week building the framework for Zaranix's quest (adding in a new map, 5 NPCs, and writing in the first set of content related to it), as well as adding in a new encounter in the alleyways (a prostitute variation of the normal attacker) and writing in most of the placeholders for slavery. All of this writing took a long time, and so I've decided to roll the sex content into the whole multiple-partner mechanics work that will be done for 0.1.95 (which is looking like it's going to take an extra week x_x).

Anyway, this update/preview is in quite a rough state, and I plan on getting Zaranix's content finished off for another update mid-next-week, so I'd advise you to wait and grab that one from github when it's ready (most likely on Wednesday).

As always, I build these previews for backers on Patreon, but if you're not a patron, you can also build these previews yourself from the github:
https://github.com/Innoxia/liliths-throne-public

Version 0.1.89.5 progress:

Gameplay:

Added: main quest content involving Zaranix. (There are several ways to complete the quest, involving submission, stealth, violence, and diplomacy.)

Added: prostitute variation of alleyway attacker.

Filled in most of the placeholders for slave dialogue (molest and spanking will be done for the next release). I will expand these more in the future to take into account slave's personality and fetishes.

Added 'Offer money' and 'Offer body' options to the alleyway attacker encounter.

Slightly rewrote Demon Home's description.

Other:

Added 'amber' for hair and eye colours.

Added 'messy' hair style.

Clothing:

Added: Lab coat (no femininity requirements, over-torso slot).

Added 'Scientist' clothing set status effect (when wearing both safety goggles and lab coat).

Bugs:

Minor typo fixes.

Enslaved offspring will no longer turn up in alleyways.

Fixed bug where exported characters would have no hair.

Lilaya's hair style is no longer random.

P.S. I feel like I'm about to pass out, so I might end up sleeping through the entire of Sunday. I'll respond to your comments as soon as I can!

Github update will be on Saturday

UPDATE: I'm so sorry it's taking so long! I'm still going to put out the update before I sleep!

Hello again everyone! :3

This is just a small post to say that Friday's github/patreon update will have to be pushed back by one day. I had to work on making the 0.1.89.2 hotfix on Monday, so I've had one less day than usual in which to work on the 0.1.95 preview/progress update.

I'll need to spend an extra day to get as much finished as I possibly can, so the update will now be on the evening/night of Saturday 25th November, most likely from 23:00-05:00 GMT.

Goals for 0.1.95

Hello again everyone! ^^

First of all, I just want to say that I am aware of a few semi-major bugs that have carried over into the latest hotfix (0.1.89.2), and that I'll be working on getting them all fully fixed for 0.1.95. They've emerged as a result of the changes I had to make in the engine in order to get save compatibility working, so once I've got them all fixed, I'll fully replace the old .lts save system with the new .xml one. ^^

Goals

My goals for 0.1.95 consist of two major things; content and multiple-partner sex mechanics. I'll split these two things up, and devote this first week entirely to writing the main story, sex, slavery, and random-encounter content. That will leave the second week free to add in multiple-partner sex support. That might be a little ambitious, so this is an early warning that the multiple-partner sex may carry over into a third week. I promise that I'll do my absolute best to get it all done in time, but I won't get carried away and say that I'll definitely have it all finished for 1st December (although all the promised story/sex/slavery/other content will be done). :3

Thank you for all of your feedback and bug reports! I'll try and answer all of your comments in the previous post tomorrow! :3
