Another slight delay...

I'm really sorry, but it's looking like I won't be able to get the update finished for tonight after all... As mentioned in the previous post, I've been working on adding the content for Claire's teleportation-related quest, and while I've only got a small amount of the framework left to finish off, I've also got several scenes of writing still to add, so I don't think I'll be able to get it into a state ready for release tonight.

At the moment I'm thinking that I should have it ready for tomorrow, but as I keep on making mistakes with time estimates, I'll instead give myself a little longer than I think I'll need and say that it will now be out at the latest on the night of Wednesday, 18th September.

Release time estimate

Hello, this is just a small post to let you know that v0.3.5 should be ready by Sunday evening/night. I had hoped to have gotten it ready for tonight or tomorrow night, but getting the content (Claire's quest) added is taking a little longer than I thought.

So, just to be clear, v0.3.5 should be out on the night of Sunday, 15th September. I'll make another small post if it's looking like it will take longer than that (but I really don't think it will).

Version 0.3.4.6 Progress Update

Hello once again!

There were a few bugs in v0.3.4.5, and while none of them were really game-breaking, a couple of them were very annoying, so I thought I'd get them fixed and push another update to github.

As mentioned in the previous post, I'm aiming to get v0.3.5 out this coming Friday or Saturday (13th or 14th), so I'll hopefully see you then! (If it's looking like it will be delayed, I'll let you know on Friday. ^^)


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: Only the 'dev' branch of the github is updated to 0.3.4.6. Make sure you build from dev!


v0.3.4.6


  • Other:
    • Slightly tweaked sex action preference weighting, so that an action which has both a 'liked' and 'disliked' fetish associated with it will now have a total slightly negative weighting, so it won't be chosen.
      Slightly changed the underwear worn by Alexandria (the prologue character in the museum).
      The 'sadistic' sex actions ('degrading talk', 'choke', 'slap face', and 'spit in face') now apply a significant hit to the targeted character's lust if that targeted character doesn't have a positive desire for the 'masochist' fetish.
      Provided you have enough control in the sex scene, you can now start ongoing actions with a partner's sex area even if they are using that sex area. (i.e. If your partner is fingering themselves, you can now start cunnilingus on them, which will automatically get them to stop fingering themselves.)
      After selecting an orgasming action in sex, the game now restores your targeted character to the person you were targeting before orgasm, and puts you back into the tab you were on before (instead of putting you back into the default 'Misc. actions' tab after every orgasm).
      Reformatted the stats screen to make it more readable.
      Added 'Grope breasts (self)' sex action, allowing characters to grope their own breasts during sex.
      Removed the stopwatch icon overlay on combat move cooldown status effects, to make it clearer which effects are on cooldown.
      Added indication to clothing TF tooltips to make it clearer if the TF is applied to breasts or crotch boobs.
  • Bugs:
    • Parsing fixes, including fixes to incorrect characters being referenced in all multiple-ongoing sex actions (such as vaginal/anal double-penetration).
      Fixed clover clamps and realistic dildo being able to be equipped onto/into a character's non-existent vagina.
      Fixed issue where sex would softlock when a character was orgasming in the 'dominant standing' position.
      Characters facing a wall can no longer grope the breasts of the person standing behind them.
      Fixed issues with buying items, weapons, and clothing from vendors, where instead of the purchased item being placed into your inventory, it was being put into the buyback menu.
      Fixed bug where trying to equip a condom while in Ralph's trade dialogue would cause an error to be thrown.
      Fixed Lilaya's panties masturbation scene missing its unique panty-related actions.
      Fixed Nyan's images displaying her 'gift' ones (which were intended for a later scene, and have been moved into a new 'NyanSpecials' folder).
      You are no longer affected by the restricted areas you've set for any of your slaves in the public stocks. (So while members of the public will be unable to use their restricted areas, you can always do whatever you like with them.)
      Fixed issue where exporting characters would set their exported birth year as 3 years later than it actually is.
      Fixed issue where NPCs would generate new special perks every time you loaded a game.
      Fixed issue where resetting perk trees would remove the 'core' perks at the top of each column, making it impossible to select any new perks.
      Fixed some issues which would rarely cause NPCs to use incorrect actions when in group sex.
      Fixed start double penetration actions being displayed when targeting the character who's already fucking you.
      Fixed several issues with item, clothing, and weapon usage in masturbation scenes.
      Fixed weapons in inventory not being displayed as disabled during sex.
      Fixed issue with NPCs getting stuck trying to remove clothing in sex. (An example of this was NPCs not being able to figure out how to remove a corset dress while wearing a women's leather jacket.)
      Fixed bug where removing a character (via the 'Kick out' action for friendly occupants, for example) who was your companion would block you from adding any new companions to your party.
      Fixed characters face-down over a desk being able to grope the breasts of the person behind them.
      Fixed issues with Brax's sex scenes sometimes using incorrect penetration descriptions.
      Fixed your name being displayed as 'You' in your character UI box during sex.
      Fixed sex with slaves/companions sometimes being erroneously described as 'rape' in the action title.
      Fixed issues with companion sex always acting as though they were your slave.
      Fixed issue where ongoing double penetration could sometimes result in the receiving orifice being described as continuously stretching, even if it was already stretched out to the maximum size.
      Fixed the rough and normal variations of clothing displacements being switched, so the game would display non-rough displacement descriptions when you were in the rough pace and vice-versa.
      Characters who have a negative desire towards the pregnancy fetish will no longer force others to creampie them.
      Fixed elemental spawning during combat causing combat to break.
      Fixed default reindeer penises being flared instead of tapered.

    News Regarding Preview

    Hello once again!

    This is just a small post to let you all know that the preview (v0.3.4.5) is going to take me a few more days to get ready. There have been a lot of bug reports from the last update, and while none of them are major game-breaking issues, I do want to get them all sorted before releasing the preview, so that's why it's taking me a little longer to get ready than planned. I'm also still aiming to get at least a small amount of new content added for it, so while I think I'll have all the bugs sorted by tomorrow, I'll then need another couple of days to get that added.

    So, in conclusion, the preview is looking like it'll be ready some time mid-late week this week. Thank you for your understanding, and for all of your bug reports and feedback!

    Version 0.3.4.1 Hotfix

    Hello again!

    There were quite a few bugs in v0.3.4, with a few of them being quite major, so I decided to get this hotfix out earlier than I'd originally planned in order to address them. Hopefully everything should be working ok now, but if there are still some big bugs which I've somehow missed, I'll get another hotfix out (but I really don't think this will be needed).

    I'll move on to getting some more content added for the next version, and will also get some more bugs fixed. I'll aim to have the preview out in a week or so, with the full release out a week after that. As usual, these release estimates are just a rough guess, so I may end up taking a little longer than that...

    Thank you everyone for reporting the bugs in the comments! I'll also re-enable anonymous comments now, as I forgot to do it on Friday.

      Fixed semi-major bug where the actions available in sex would not update correctly after switching position using the new positioning menu actions.
      Fixed numerous minor parsing errors, as well as incorrect description in anal actions, and incorrect parsing in prostate orgasm descriptions.

      Fixed issue where the game would freeze after Rose's hand-holding scene (and any other sex scene in which no 'real' sex interactions were performed).

      If she's unable to access your ass, Vicky should now prefer to use your vagina, if you have one, instead of penetrating herself on your cock.
      Fixed new positioning menu actions not causing sex to calculate a turn correctly when selected.
      Debug menu's 'Reveal maps' action now correctly unlocks all maps to be viewed in the maps screen.
      Fixed cause of a bug where duplicate 'Arthur's home' tiles could be created in Demon Home. (Also the game will delete any duplicates in your save file when loading into this version.)
      The cultists which spawn during October can now appear on tiles which have friendly occupants living on them. (So that they can now spawn even if you've filled Dominion with friendly characters.)
      Fixed bug where setting your birthday in the character creation would allow the year to go past the boundaries.
      Lyssieth now correctly always creampies Lilaya/Meraxis during their demon TF scenes.

      Fixed issue where the 'degrading talk' sex action was never available.
      The new taur spawn preference setting is now correctly saved in your properties file, so you don't have to set it every time the game is restarted.

    Version 0.3.4 Release (Buggy, hotfix soon)

    Hello!

    As I mentioned in the previous blog post, I ended up spending a lot of time refactoring the sex position code for this update, in order to get all sex positions correctly supporting taur bodies (as well as to support more precise positioning actions). While I was able to add some other things as well, I didn't really have enough time to get all of the reported bugs fixed, so I might have to release a hotfix mid-next-week, depending on how buggy this turns out to be.

    I also need to tidy up and edit some of the new 'buying Brax' dialogue, as I didn't have time before this release to properly proof-read it (so I'm sure there are a few mistakes in there). There's also a bug in the prologue sex scene at the moment, in which the new positioning actions don't work (although they work everywhere else in the game).

    I'll keep the sidebar updated with release estimates, and will make apost early next week to say whether or not there will be a hotfix.

    (Sorry if this post feels a little rushed, I've been up all night adding the "Buying Brax" content, and feel quite tired. Also, sorry for being a little late with this release!)

    Version 0.3.4 patch notes:


  • Gameplay:
    • Added a content toggle for 'sadistic sex', which now needs to be turned on in order for actions such as slapping, choking, and spitting to be available during sex. (This content is set to 'off' by default, so you'll need to manually enable it in the content options if you want to see or use this content.)
      Added ability to masturbate almost anywhere in the game, via an action in your phone menu.
      Added small side quest to buy Brax from Candi.
  • Contributors:
    • Fixed bug where combat would sometimes freeze/crash when using effects that targeted multiple combatants. (PR#1190 by Shadowheart329)
  • Clothing:
    • Added ability to define itemTags based on the slot that a piece of clothing is to be equipped into. Updated the template folder's 'socks.xml' file to show how this is defined.
      Added 'physical' as an available damage type for bucklers.
      Added support for weapons to have natural physical shielding. Added 0.5 natural physical shielding to crude shields, and 1 natural physical shielding to bucklers.
  • Sex:
    • Refactored the positioning code, and added a new system of position selection for when you're a dominant participant in sex (or if you have the same level of control as the dom).
      Pure virgin fetishists now gain fetish experience at the end of sex (if they have satisfied their partners) based on if their vagina, penis, ass, and mouth are still virginal.
      Lusty maiden fetishists gain experience at the end of sex (also having needed to satisfy their partners) if they have retained their vaginal virginity, as well as had their ass or mouth penetrated, or performed hotdogging or paizuri/naizuri.
      Added a 'Prostate massage' sex action, available for the performer of anal fingering if the recipient has a penis, and also added a line to describe prostate milking for if a cahracter cums while someone is anally fingering them.
      Added 'Encourage creampie' and Encourage pullout' orgasm preparation actions, for when the targeted character is penetrating a third character in sex. These requests are influenced by the 'convincing requests' perk, although the targeted character may ignore you if they are not submissive, have more control in the scene than you do, or are an unruly slave.
      Information regarding whether a character will listen to your requests or not is now displayed in their 'desires' status effect's tooltip.
      Added a 'spit in face' sex action, which is locked behind the new 'sadistic sex' toggle.
      Added vaginal and anal penetration description variations for non-bipedal characters, so they aren't described as being able to reach their partner's cock in order to guide it into their orifices anymore.
      Added double-penetration actions and description variations, allowing two characters to be simultaneously penetrating a character's vagina or asshole.
      Added a setting in the furry preferences to set how furry you want randomly-generated NPC taurs to be. By default, this setting is set to 'normal', which means that all taurs will spawn in with fully-human upper bodies.
  • Other:
    • Made some minor improvements to some sex action descriptions.
      Removed almost all String character restrictions for saved game names and saved enchantment names. Only the double quotation mark character is restricted.
      Altered health icons to use a heart symbol, instead of a lightning bolt.
      Added a calendar entry for the month of June (in the calendar menu in your room).
      Added option to change age appearance in demon and slime self-transformation menus.
      Compacted information in the character view page, and added the character's birthday information (only displayed if you know their name and they are friendly towards you, or if you are their mother or owner).
      Added indication in characters' information tooltip, and their information page, for if they are significantly taller or shorter than you.
      Characters now only need a wolf-morph's arms in order to unlock the 'Savage attack' special attack.
      Slightly adjusted maximum arousal increments in multiple-partner sex.
      The minimap now correctly displays unexplored tiles as black squares.
      Increased chance for muggers to spawn with weapons from 50% to 90%.
      Added a secondary confirmation click for removing friendly occupants from your house or their apartments.
      Added indication in the 'Toggle Calendar Display' tooltip text that you need to look at the calendar in your room to reveal the date.
  • Bugs:
    • Fixed major issue where starting some sex scenes (such as Pix's) would result in a background error, causing any of your clothes which were stripped to not be returned to you after the sex scene.
      Fixed bug where selecting the 'sex' tab when interacting with a slave or occupant in their room would cause the game to freeze/break.
      Fixed an issue where having sex with slaves/occupants would display them as being both a submissive and dominant participant.
      Several typo and parsing fixes.
      Father's day content can now correctly be triggered on the 14th June.
      Fixed issue where selecting sex actions which were outside of your corruption range would not give you an increase in corruption.
      The phone icon is now correctly greyed-out during the prologue.
      You and Lilaya no longer lose your clothes after having sex with Desryth in his/her apartment.
      Lilaya now correctly puts her lab coat outfit on when returning from an evening out with Desryth. (This will also reset her clothing to her lab outfit when you load into this version.)
      Fixed characters with flat chests being described as having 'null' breasts/pecs under the character information tooltip.
      The 'Double creampie' action is now correctly unavailable if the secondary target's orifice is blocked or already in use.
      Fixed the error.log file getting spammed with warnings if you entered Lilaya's lab without having started the Father's day quest.
      If Lilaya is a half-demon, her skin and hair colours will be reset to their correct values when loading into this version.
      Fixed bug where when resisting in sex, sometimes using an action wouldn't work for one turn.
      Fixed issue where if you loaded a pre-saved enchantment of a differing type to the item you're viewing in your inventory, the game would sometimes freeze when pressing the 'Back' button.
      Fixed issue where saved games with a single quote character in them would not load.
      Fixed enchantment menu displaying a clothing/weapon capacity cost for fertility and virility enchantments.
      Fixed characters having their hoofed feet referred to as normal feet in some orgasm descriptions.
      Fixed some actions not being available when in the 'standing face-to-face' sex position.
      Rose now correctly unequips her strapon after her dominant sex scene, and Kalahari correctly replaces her clothes after interacting with you.
      Fixed NPCs reacting to your orgasms when you were a spectator in sex.
      Fixed speech in sex not being muffled even if your tongue was busy inside an orifice.
      Fixed issue where spectators in sex would have their area availability limited by what position the actual participants were in. (Was most noticeable in mating-press, where spectators would be unable to use their fingers.)
      Fixed bug in sex where characters would never remove their equipped sex toys in order to start the actions they wanted. (So, for example, if they have a butt-plug equipped, and want to receive anal, they will now correctly remove it to do so.)
      Fixed bug where your character would not be affected by changes to age appearance, and corrected code such that your character's age is handled like any other character's, although you gain a -3 year age modifier upon entering the new world.
      Fixed issue where repeat actions in sex could be used on a third character who shouldn't have been able to have had those actions performed on them.
      Fixed some game-breaking bugs related to clicking out of the debug menu instead of closing it manually.
      Fixed bug where any character orgasming while receiving a handjob would sometimes break sex.
      Fixed incorrect descriptions in the 'Receive anilingus' sex action.
      Fixed bug where some expected sex actions would be missing in some positions.
      Fixed several incorrect sex action descriptions and parsing.
      Fixed bug where futa characters couldn't simultaneously fuck one another.
      You are now correctly banned from asking for the same position request after being denied it once.
      Amber now correctly ends sex after orgasming enough times to be satisfied, instead of after her first orgasm.
      Fixed Ralph's sex scene never accepting your request for a big discount.
      Fixed being able to initiate penetration when locked in the breeding stall, and being able to lie in your back if you were a taur.
      Fixed bug where the game would sometimes freeze when generating a new character's outfit.
      October cultists now correctly prefer to get you to eat them out before giving them a blowjob, as their dialogue implied.
      Fixed NPC's sex AI not stopping oral actions even if they were blocking the NPC from performing their desired action.
      Fixed issue in Lyssieth's demon TF scenes, where even though the descriptions were of her cumming inside of you, the effects (getting a creampie) would sometimes fail to be applied.
      Fixed characters in the glory hole not having their inventory slots concealed.
      Fixed issues with characters being able to penetrate you in impossible-to-reach areas while you were fucking them.
      Fixed background errors being thrown when hovering the cursor over the right-hand-side's inventory panel during masturbation.
      Characters who are spectating sex can no longer deny orgasms of those who are actively involved.
      Offspring now correctly have their body stats slightly randomised from their base values.
      Amber, Zaranix, Kelly, and Katherine now self-transform back into their preferred bodies when you leave Zaranix's house.
      Time now correctly passes in the scenes in which you give birth.
      The status effect 'arcane impotence' (gained when a cahracter's arcane stat is under 5) now correctly limits that character's maximum aura to 5 (as the status effect's tooltip said it should be doing).
