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

Hello again!

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

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

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

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

As always, you can also build these releases yourself from the public github's dev branch (which is always kept up to date with the very latest version):
https://github.com/Innoxia/liliths-throne-public/tree/dev
(There's a build tutorial here.)

IMPORTANT: If you're building through github, you'll now need to place the 'liliths-throne-public/res' folder in the same directory as the exported .jar!

v0.4.8.3 Download Links

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

v0.4.8.2 Patch Notes

Contributors:

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

Image & Character Imports:

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

Clothing:

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

Sex:

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

Other:

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

Bugs:

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

Version 0.4.8 Release

Hello again,

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

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

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

As always, you can also build these releases yourself from the public github's dev branch (which is always kept up to date with the very latest version):
https://github.com/Innoxia/liliths-throne-public/tree/dev

v0.4.8 Patch Notes

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

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

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

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

Contributors:

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

Engine/Modding:

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

Image & Character Imports:

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

Gameplay:

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

Items:

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

Sex:

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

Other:

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

Bugs:

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

Progress News

Hello again,

This is just a small post to let you know that I'm still working on the update. Progress hasn't been going too well, but if I'm unable to get the update into a version that's ready for release by the end of this weekend, I'll put together whatever I have and release it on Monday.

Sorry again for how long it's taking me to get this version released, and thank you all for your support and patience. I'll see you again in the next post, which will either be over the weekend or by this time next week at the latest.

Progress News

Hello again,

This is just a quick post to let you all know that I'm still working on this next update, and while I've made progress over this past week, I'm still a little ways off getting this next version finished. So far I've added a bank to Dominion and Elis, expanded Vicky's content, added an internal map for Pix's gym and added a new character to it, and added a few other minor things. I'm still working on the main quest content, but once finished it'll have added a new internal map for the Enforcer station in Elis, a couple of new characters, and an area to fight through which involves these characters.

To avoid disappointment, I'm still not going to give a release date for this next version, but I'm doing my best to get it finished as soon as I can. I'll make another progress news post by the end of the weekend, and will also make another artwork poll tomorrow. Thank you all so much for your support and continued interest in Lilith's Throne. I'll do my best to make this version worth the wait!

Delay...

I'm so sorry, but I still haven't managed to get the release into a state that's ready for release. I typed out a big post to explain, but it just felt like giving excuses, so I'll just say that I'm still doing my best, and that I'll get the next release out to you as soon as I can. I also want to say that I know that these delays are completely unacceptable, and I fully understand if you want to stop supporting me, and please know that I'm extremely grateful for any and all support you've given.

I won't give a release date for this next version again, as I keep on utterly failing to stick to them. I'll get it released as soon as I possibly can, and I'll make weekly progress reports to let you know what's going on. Sorry again for letting you down once again, and at the last minute at that.

More Progress News (Another delay...)

I know that I said in my previous post that I was very confident that there'd be no more delays, but I ended up getting a little side-tracked (by adding some more content for Vicky and a couple of other things), so as a result of that I'm still a little ways off getting this main content finished. I'm really not going to be able to get it done in time for tomorrow, and considering that I also want to get some more PRs merged before the release I'm going to have to delay it again.

Once again, I'm very tempted to delay it by just a few days, but I know that it's going to end up taking longer than that, so I'm going to say that it'll be another week before release. I hate to keep doing this to you, but I really don't want to put out this version until I've got the main quest content finished, so now please expect the release of v0.4.8 to be the evening of Saturday, 25th March.

Thank you once again so much for your patience and support. I really am doing my best to get this version out to you as soon as possible, and this time I really, really can't see any reason for any more delays...

Progress news (Delay...)

Hello again,

First of all, the bad news is that I'm going to have to delay v0.4.8's release by another week. I know that I said I was aiming to get the release out tonight, but writing content always takes longer than I expect, and as such I haven't managed to get this version into a state that's ready for release just yet. I've still got quite a lot of writing left to do for the next stage of the main quest, and while I'm tempted to say that I'll delay this version by just a few days, past experience tells me that it will take longer than that, so I'm now aiming to have this version released at around this time next week (evening of Saturday 18th). Sorry for leaving it until the last minute to make this post...

The good news is that I'm very confident that I'll get everything done in time for next week, so there really shouldn't be another delay. I know that I always say that, and maybe I'm being overconfident again, but I really do think that I'll have everything ready for v0.4.8 by then.

Thank you all once again for your support and patience, and I'll do my very best to make sure that there really won't be any further delays!
