Mags is ready to fix your ship… (by Adjatha)

Okay, after a day spent aggressively reworking and retweaking some of the cybernetics to be what I would consider acceptable additions to the game, I’m ready to push a new patch! Let’s just got down into the nitty-gritty, and after all that, I’ve got a few things idling on my plate I’d like to mention as upcoming features and additions if all goes well.

I did a lot more deep code-touching on this one, so be sure to save often if you’re playing this on release date jussst in case some wires got crossed somewhere. I’ll be active this weekend, so necessary hotfixes should flow in a timely manner~

0.9.166 Hotfix #2:

• All the “Now Public” content should actually be public! Sorry for those who were wondering where Tara went…

0.9.166 Hotfix #1:

• Fixed the “thickness” crash.

0.9.166 Changelog:

• [Now Public] Giallo’s Expansion (and added data to the Codex for him – thanks Jacques00!)
• [Now Public] Ginny Bad End
• [Now Public] Breast Boobily Episode 4
• [Now Public] Tara!
• [Backer Exclusive] Syri tentacle feeding! After installing the tentacle tank and allowing it to grow, you can ask Syri for help keeping it fed. Syri won’t be that enthusiastic about the prospect of climbing into a closet full of tentacles, but you can convince her to lob a condom in there from time to time. She’ll even let you help her fill the condom, since she’s so nice! To help with the filling, you can even make out with her or suck on her tits! (Written by Fenoxo, coded by Leek)
• [Backer Exclusive] Bimbo Penny tentacle feeding! After installing the tentacle tank and allowing it to grow, you can ask bimbofied Penny to help feed the tentacles. As one would expect, she’s incredibly excited about the prospect – and once you ask her to feed them, she’ll even refuse to stop! You’ll get an email from Azra documenting just how messy the feeding event is, and after reviewing the footage, you’ll be able to catch Penny in the act (and have some fun in one of three different ways with her). (Written & coded by Fenoxo.)
• [Backer Exclusive] New Cybernetics pack! (coded by Leek & Fenoxo with text rewrites by Fenoxo)
  • Utility Implant: Phallus Tuner. This implant allows the user’s primary penis to be adjusted in size by up to twelve inches in either direction!
  • Combat Implant: Armored Tail. This implant well reduce the HP damage of a single incoming attack by 50% once per three rounds.
  • Combat Implant: Emergency ‘Gasm Vent. This implant can save you from debilitating lust once a fight – but it might knock you on your ass from spontaneously cumming mid-fight! It’s also a great sleep aid, as long as you don’t mind losing 20 more energy every time orgasm…
  • Combat Implant: Dong Doctor. This implant hooks into your reproductive anatomy to unleash a healing-augmented ejaculation once per fight. This expulsion provides no relief, but greater orgasm volumes will provide greater amounts of healing. Just don’t rock up with a fully-emptied sack and expect any help!
  • Combat Implant: Seed Soaker. This implant allows the user to unleash a spunky spray as attack! It does relieve a little lust, and may even blind the target! The effectiveness is somewhat volume-dependent, and a testicular implant does increase vulnerability to low blows…
  • Combat Implant: Slut Sight. This implant allows the user to see sights beyond sight – or at least measure a target’s proportions pretty well during a “Sense” maneuver. The data gleaned from this will assist in accuracy and critical bonus against the target. This ocular addition also allows a once-per-fight psionic tease attack.
• New Busts (By Adjatha): Mags & Amazon Reaha’s Plush Butthole (the standard one was the wrong skintone for her~)
• Racial Perk Consistency Updates: Which racial perks could be kept indefinitely and which would wear off upon losing most of that race’s attributes were not really clear before. A dash of additional consistency has been deployed so that in general, if you lose a race’s attributes, the perk will go away. If you’re attached to being a nightmarish hyper-chimera, don’t fret! I’ve got you. Check out the next line of this changelog! (Fenoxo)
• New Cheat: Ignore Racial Perk Restrictions – Since racial perks got a little more restrictive, why not ignore that? You can toggle this in the cheat menu to be even less restricted by logic than ever before! (Fenoxo & Jacques00)
• Musk Bonus Rework: Musk perks had become kind of essential to effective tease builds, and with racial perks getting more restrictive, it was likely the amount a player could maintain would be reduced. To reduce reliance on being such a musky husky, the bonuses from these perks have been reduced somewhat, but enemy lust defenses have also been lowered! Let me know if I lowered them too much, and a bit of good news for those that love these perks – I’m going to be adding a few more to spread them around, and something similar for scalies, but more visually-oriented. (Fenoxo)
• Lust Generation Rework: Lust gain overtime has been teased and tuned to be a little less cumbersome. The maximum over time lust gain has been reduced to 66% (from 75%). The effect of libido on the increase has been reduced 33% as well. Extra Ardor’s lust gain multiplier has been reduced to 1.5x (from 2x). When lust is over the soft-cap value, time passage should allow you to calm back down to that level… eventually. (Fenoxo)
• When receiving a load in a pregnant hole, a log event will generate to describe the fluids washing out (since the cervix is blocked~). This message has a 12 hour cooldown to reduce spamminess, but if it’s still too frequent, we could look at making it longer. (Fenoxo)
• Improvements to the haptic linkage systems – try this stuff out and let us know how it goes! We need feedback. I’m told it can work with an Xbox controller?! (Jacques00)
• Body Morphology Bonuses: full-body skin types now grant small bonuses to evasion, defense, and/or slight resistances. Check the new Codex entry for more detailed information: Codex->General Knowledge -> Morphology Bonuses. Additions for lower body structure and hand types are planned. (Fenoxo)
• New Icons: Boxing gloves and lotion bottles. (Jacques00)
• Goo characters can now autofellate without needing any flexibility perk. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed some bugged RK Lah combat text. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed vaginal pregnancy speed bonuses being applied to the anus. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed Olympia’s bust haunting the sidewinder when she’s been killed. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed Anno’s hair crashing. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed an airtight armor crash on Azra’s third expedition. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed a “no cock” crash for Mags. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed one of the Jumper’s reactions to you selecting “nope” while cosplaying as a slave in Zheng Shi. (Fenoxo)
• The black latex perk now grants a small tease damage bonus and a bonus to escape grapples. (Fenoxo)
• The Heat Cycle perk will no longer remain without a vagina. (Fenoxo)
• “Zhat Zhing” is now sold by Jade instead of Sera. (Fenoxo)
• Fixed a bug in Gianna’s cumflation options that could cause her to revert to a pre-recruited state. FOR SHAME! (Fenoxo)
• Added more tooltip clues about why you might not be able to visit Sam’s kids with her.
• Fixes for Yuri and Zarduk’s busts. (Jacques00)
• Minor tweaks and fixes to the E.G.G. questline. (Jacques00)
• Level Up menu tweaks: When accessing the automated Level-Up prompt, the mainGameMenu() is already called once after exiting the level up screen, so to prevent overwriting/speeding-past any queued events after the level up, the initial mainGameMenu() call is swapped out to the popToMainText() instead. (Jacques00)
• Fixed one of the Zaika Hydra’s attacks not doing anything on a hit. (Fenoxo)
• Small Kiona shop fixes. (Jacques00)
• Sex scenes for Mags will now choose a random penis within the desired length range. (Jacques00)
• Mags’s ship repair button has price footer for clarity. (Jacques00)
• Heat cycles should no longer update while under the effects of “MascOff”. (Jacques00)
• Fixed a crash with Tara in the ring. (Jacques00)
• The appearance screen now mentions ear length for bothrioc & yinglet ears.
• And likely some other things I’ve forgotten!

So with all of that out of the way, here’s what I’m looking at pushing on through the weekend (no family in the house on the weekend so I can work!) and into next week:

• [Coding/Writing] Musk perks are pretty heavily weighted toward dick-havers and fur-havers, and I’d like to spread the love around a little more – both to have more species and to have something for the ladies that’d like to drive men wild by smelling like they’re “in season”. I’d also like to add a Glossy Scales perk that lends a visual bonus to tease attacks for certain scaly transformations, and make sure there’s some nice contrast where musk perks work better against blinded opponents and having your every curve highlighted by shiny reflections works best against sighted ones.
• [Coding] More morphology type bonuses. Just like with skin types, I’m only going to add bonuses if I can add ones for everyone. Right now the plan is to give bipeds extra-quick recovery from the “Staggered” condition, monopods (goo/naga) the ability to stand up instantly from trip attacks, and centaurs a large resistance to being tripped in the first place, which should have something nice for everyone. I’m also looking at giving any “clawed” hands a +1 damage bonus to melee attacking and “normal” hands a +1 damage bonus to ranged attacks – bonuses that should feel nice and impactful at low level but amount to little more than a rounding error at higher levels that doesn’t force you to build a certain way. Weirdly the centaur change is far and away the most annoying as it will require updating almost every call to trip attacks.
• [Editing/Coding] Reviewing / Maybe Editing / Coding Dreamer44’s Shekka tentacle feeding scenes once they get them to me.
• [Writing] Azra’s fucking Steelesuit scene edits – we need these. There’s still a lot of text mentioning her armor, and I need to get this done as my next writing task.
• [Writing] Gayll & Rummi’s talk scenes – I kept getting pulled away to other things, but I need to take a day to bang out all the intended talk topics and world-building they were meant to add, and maybe a new sex scene if I feel crazy.
• [Redesign/Rewrite/Recode] Lip Gloss items – A set of lip gloss items were also submitted and got coded by Leek – but I wasn’t entirely happy with how they were laid out from an authorial/mechanics standpoint. I’d like to do some work on the lip gloss items in general and re-consider adding the currently disabled “Oral” tease type to go with them in a more holistic way than what was added.
• [Potential New Exhibitionism Perk] There’s also a submitted exhibitionism perk centered around keeping your breasts exposed that got coded, but I’d like to give it a more thorough review before releasing anything. I can probably make it work in some form or fashion… let me cook.
