You’ve heard that your princess is in another castle for years and years — so what if you moved your princess to YOUR castle instead, huh?

0.8.26 Patch Notes:

• After completing The Siege of Khor’minos, Champions who are sleeping with Princess Varena can take her on a second date — this time taking advantage of the break in the siege to get her out of the city proper. This requires that you’ve done her first date, and have access to the Ways Between.
• Assuming the date goes well (ie., you’ve earned Varena’s trust throughout her questline), and you have a Wayfort of your own to support a royal bride, you can propose to Varena and move her into your fort. The date also has a couple of unique new sex scenes to enjoy.
• Once brought to your Wayfort, Varena’s can be found in the throne room (move over, Daliza!). She’s got some updates to her various talks, and her sex scenes have adjustments to account for being in an actual bedroom rather than a bar’s back room. She’ll also update the Wayfort interior with some new paintings.
• After moving in, Varena will ask for a piece of Lethicite (there’s several available by now). If you give it to her, she’ll forge herself her own Waystone Charm, and become Schrodinger’s Cow — you can access her both in the Wayfort and at Khor’minos. Did you know in real life, cows have best friends and can get anxious when separated? It’s important to make sure Varena has access to her emotional support bard.
• New Busts: Baroness Carmen Reverra redux, Kira the Gnoll Spellblade redux, Vestal Cait, Lightbearer Azyrran, Glacial Guard Etheryn, and Storm Skald Agnimitra (all by Moira)

And so it’s finally time to bring the culmination of The Siege of Khor’minos, and the game’s 2nd act with it, to a close publicly. Alongside that, we’ve got the first bit of post-dungeon content coming along: a certain boss, if certain options are followed, might make an appearance at the Wayfort and offer her services. Pardon me for walking on eggshells to avoid spoilers~

I’d highly recommend checking out the initial dungeon drop’s blog post if this is your first time playing: it gives you a run over of how to get there, what’s in the content, and what’s still coming for the story! If you want to go in blind, that’s cool too, but keep in mind: beginning this dungeon will lock you out of the Winter Wolf and Harboring a Fugitive questlines; do them first if you ever want to, and be aware that doing them (or not) has an impact on the dungeon itself.

Also, Trials in Tainted Space dropped an update yesterday too! Go give Fen some love. 

0.8.25 Patch Notes:

• After allowing {REDACTED BOSS IDENTITY} to walk free during The Siege of Khor’minos, she’ll appear at the Wayfort. You can choose to let her stick around, or send her forth to never bother you again.

• {REDACTED BOSS IDENTITY} has a set of new talk scenes and sex scenes, as you would expect.

• {REDACTED BOSS IDENTITY} can serve as a trainer at the Wayfort, and has repeatable sparring options (which also get you access to edited versions of her hostile sex scenes)

• Steam Version Only: Act 2’s roster of achievements has been added, increasing the total by (my estimate) ~50%.
• New CG: {REDACTED BOSS IDENTITY} spreading her legs for your inspection (by Akira)!
• New Busts: Sea Wyrm from LivreaQuest

Also New Since Last Public Patch:

Alright friends, we’ve got a massive off-season pregnancy expansion for you while we’re chewing through the post-Main Story Quest content. Tobs dropped off a ~300 page Hotaru expansion for us — talk about filling her out.

Tobs also helped me finish off the Coastlands’ room descriptions, leaving me free to push a Calise expansion to code — Leek’s currently hard at work on it, fresh off the Hotaru project — and I’m wrapping up the last bits of Varena’s post-quest wrap up to follow on. If all goes well, I’ll be on to working on our next settlement, Tychris, in a couple days.

Hotfix Released

• Hotaru can now be encountered during the night, which has a number of additional interactions, after her first time.
• A whole bunch of other text fixes courtesy of Zag and Spotty!

0.8.24 Patch Notes:

• Hotaru, another of the kitsune den’s denizens, can now be impregnated. Requires that you’ve already had a child with any of Miko, Mai, Rindo, or Kohaku, have fucked Hotaru before, and have a virile penis. (By TheObserver).
• Hotaru’s new expansion includes a little shy of 300 pages of new sex, pregnancy scenes, and updated interactions with the new mother.
• Several other den-izens have talks about Hotaru and your new relationship.
• Fixed an error that was causing the Faceless Blade’s encounter in the Ring of Fate Investigation sidequest to crash the game.
• Fixed a crash caused by using the Rusty Knife in combat.
• Fixed the Mystic Mischief quest saying Marilla/Vitruvius were ready for pickup when you still had to wait a day.
• Fixed a combat crash when Kiyoko was using her Kangen set and used Laughter of Heaven and Earth on an enemy with no recharge powers
• Fixed Olivia’s pregnancy duration resetting to default length after loading the game.
• You can now use Stonepiercer instead of Camping Supplies in the Undermountain mining event.
• There’s been a bunch of bugfixes and updates to The Siege of Khor’minos including:
• A bunch of Geomancy powers that should have scaled off Attack Power now do so properly.
• Flesh to Stone and Instant Fortress are now properly stealable via Mirror Magic.
• Fixed the power Closing Storm not working correctly at all.
• Stonepiercer has its proper 50 Armor Penetration and 15 Magic Resistance.
• We’ve done a little UI wiggling to make it EVEN CLEARER that you need to go outside before Renia’s boss fight if you take Varena’s path through.

At long last, it’s time to finally break The Siege of Khor’minos and bring peace to the kingdom beneath the stone.

This is the penultimate dungeon on the Main Story Questline, following up from A Feast For Heroes. In order to begin the dungeon, you must either talk to Calise in Khor’minos and rally the troops she requests or talk to Varena after having finished her bath house dungeon. These are two mutually exclusive paths into and through the dungeon; make your choice based on which of the girls you like (or trust) the most.

Before you do the dungeon, let me say loud and clear: this dungeon is a Point of No Return as the end of the game’s 2nd Act, and beginning it will lock you out of the Winter Wolf and Harboring a Fugitive questlines once you begin. You can’t defeat the cult and then go back in time to cripple the cult; by extension, having done (or not done) those quests, as well as Etheryn’s personal quest The Demon of Ice, will have noticeable impacts on the dungeon. Calise and Varena will both point you towards these cult bases before you begin the quest as a reminder, but I figured I’d make sure it’s here in the announcement just in case. Other quests throughout Act 1 and 2 will remain available.

0.8.23 Patch Notes:

• Queen Etheryn, Queen Nyzerrah, Chieftain Arona, Ahmri, Asgeir (or Asynja), and Lumia all have new talks unlocked after A Feast For Heroes, allowing you to recruit their factions’ fighters to aid you in The Siege of Khor’minos. These are used in…
• New minigame added: Mass Combat. If you choose Calise’s path through the campaign, you’ll be taking to the field as the commander of a rag-tag army assembled from across the Marches and marching into battle against the demons. Should you succeed (or otherwise go through Varena’s path, you’ll gain access to):
• New dungeon added: Khor’torhen Fortress! A crumbling ruin that protects one of the waterways leading into Undermountain, now occupied by the Pleasure Cult and their demonic allies en masse. This is the heart of the cult’s war effort, their home base in the Marches and their most important stronghold by far. Take it down, and the siege will break. As you’d expect from any dungeon, there’s a number of new bosses, new weapons, gear, and powers to obtain, and plenty of salacious adventure to be had. 
• Finishing The Siege of Khor’minos now locks out Winter Wolf and Harboring a Fugitive; make sure you do these quests first if you ever intend to.
• If Winter Wolf is failed, Annika will now appear once Act 3 starts and begin the invitation process to Lumia’s castle with appropriate tweaks.
• Isadora, Varena, and Katya all have updated talks after you finish The Siege of Khor’minos.
• The questlog previously stopped tracking The Siege of Khor’minos after the the first of its 4 parts; it now is properly tracked throughout the Siege, and gives way to the next Main Story Quest after it is finished.
• Kasyrra freaking out about you telling her that you’re Soulbound has been progression locked to only occur after The Siege of Khor’minos.
• Kasyrra (as fought in the Winter City) has been buffed to take advantage of higher-level features now being coded into the game.
• The Faceless Blade (as fought in the Grave of Saints) has had her Swift Sword taken away on difficulties below Dark, meaning she’s unable to softlock you into eternal and unending battle if you don’t have the damage output to match her healing. Playing on Dark, we still expect you to have good enough party composition to deal with it.
• New Busts: All the enemies in the Khor’torhen Fortress dungeon.

A Note About What’s NOT in This Patch:

Please don’t read any further in this section if you want to avoid any possible spoilers 🙂 Come back after you’ve played the dungeon!

Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t mean to alarm you, but primary coding on the next phase of the Main Story Quest is now complete — we’ve just got to put it together with the rest of the game and subject it to some rigorous testing. In the meantime, though, I present something that’s been deep in my backlog… deep enough that it got mined out by community writer MagentaNeedle and brought to a creamy completion. Cait’s source of sexy red leather is finally about ready to wake up!

TiTS also patched today! Check out them Fenoxo writes hot off the presses!

0.8.22 Patch Notes:

• It has been a hot minute but the Half-Gnoll Spellblade from all the way back in Cait’s original personal quest is finally recovering from her coma! Sleep in the Frost Hound to trigger the quest to wake her up. (By MagentaNeedle)
• Kira, the Spellblade, has a pair of small quests to get her back in shape: one to help her recover from her experiences, and another to get a replacement for the clothes Cait yoinked (no Cait will not just give them back).
• Once she’s up and about, Kira has a selection of talk and sex scenes, including a Cait threesome.
• Having the translated tablet from the Temple of Elosa now properly removes the Cunning requirement to bind Elosa herself during Varena’s bath house quest.

While Leek and Drake are sorting out the big dungeon, Tobs and I have been pounding out room descriptions for the final zone, and I’m starting to review some of the encounters that our commission writers have turned in for it. Love it when a plan zone comes together.
