Fen here with a long overdue public patch. Mostly I’ve just been fixing bugs of late. Producing sensual writing has been… hard lately. I’m not sure how much of this is due to getting older, how much is my medication, and how much is just plain burnout from a decade of churning out magma-hot smut, reading other people’s highly varied smut (for review), and coding smut (both mine and others). All I know that I’m so much slower than I used to be, and I don’t like it any more than you do.

Saying it out loud like that sounds like admitting defeat, and I’m not. This is still the best fucking job on the planet, and I’m hardly the only person involved at this point. Let me drop the patch notes, and I’ll share some WIP screenshots from the javascript build after the break!

0.8.148 Changelog:

• Image-embedded version updated! You can grab it off Mega, but you’ll need a stand-alone flash player that can handle it’s 600MB+ girth to play with it. What’s different? You can zoom in on most character busts and some scenes come with embedded art. Enjoy!
• Shekka, Tuuva, and Del all had modifications made to their “give a synthsheath” routines to better handle “first-time” uses (in the event text) and to unlock the Codex entry if needed at the end.
• Fixed a large number of small bugs in Gianna’s content.
• Giving Gianna silicone should now give slightly Gianna slightly more confidence, better enabling you to max out her confidence score before recruiting her (or after).
• Fixed Molli being able to impregnate you when she shouldn’t be able to impregnate you.
• Fixed some broken parsers in Molli’s bad end.
• Sera’s “Tainted Love” event has had its odds changed: 0 chance first time they pick up the salary, 2/3s chance thereafter until it activates, 1/4 chance for the repeat after the PC’s gotten it.
• The Gabilani Chemist should no longer use her weapon while disarmed… unless I missed another check somewhere.
• The Gabilani Chemist’s oral addiction unlock scene should no longer be repeatable. Silly me, letting you unlock the same perk multiple times!
• Milodan Futazons should play nicer with “blocked” orifices.
• The Gabilani Cyborg now has fixed sexual preferences.
• The Gabilani Cyborg’s lock-on attack now properly increases her accuracy by 30%. (It also displays as an visible icon on the cyborg’s stat pane.)
• The Gabilani Cyborg’s aimed shot now does a little increased damage.
• The Gryvain Techie got some tweaks to her AI routine to help her use her abilities at the correct time.
• Pheromones and the “Sweet Tooth” effect should now both increase tease “to-hit” chance.
• EMP grenades shouldn’t display damage twice any longer.
• A few more places properly track you slipping a load into Feruze.
• Fixed a few incorrect checks in Ardia’s content.
• All text will no longer become bold if you recruit Gianna with a “Hard” personality type.
• Typo fixes and minor bugfixes I probably forgot to list because they’re so minor or were committed to the github too stealthily for my big dumb minotaur eyes.

Now if you’re interested in mad code science, eyeball below…

0.8.147 Changelog:

• Molli can now be interacted with at Cherry’s Tap-Hall whenever Cherry is busy in her room. The big squishy goo comes with six different talk topics and four sex scenes, as well as a possible bad-end for those with truly titanic loads (36 thousand liters or more).
• New Gianna scenes: ‘taur service. While it’s one button, the scene is vastly different depending on which set of genitals you direct her to pleasure.
• New Anno pic in the image pack for huskar Anno in a maid outfit.
• Azariah can now play with Paige and Kiro assuming you have both onboard!

Update: I wrote this last night but the build deployment choked. Now Geddy has it fixed but my home internet is out, so patreon and SS posts and image pack uploads will have to wait.

Well, the air conditioning in my office is out. It got hot enough for one of the grip pads on my mouse to separate the other night. I still managed to chunk out more Azariah, but I must flee back to the respite of my laptop for now…

0.8.146 Changelog:

• New Azariah scene: Marathon! Have a marathon bang with Azariah and her harem. Depending on the player character’s libido, this scene can extend on for quite a while…
• New Azariah scene: Share (w/Harem)! Have fun with one part of Azariah while her harem helps with the other.
• Cleaned up a few small bugs in Azariah and probably introduced a bunch more in the process.

Heyo, I have to say, resorting all the bugs from the bug report forum a second time took longer than I expected given that we had most of the new ones handled already. So, in light of that I’ve fixed a bunch more and pushed one last public patch before I dip into shoveling hot new content out for the backers.

Image-embedded version available! (Larger version of the game that includes the ability to zoom in on character busts and has some images directly embedded into the game. Requires stand-alone flash player.)

0.8.145 Changelog:

• Re-merged some of DrunkZombie’s pregnancy changes that got lost in the server-moving shuffle.

0.8.144 Changelog:

• If you choose “Stay Solo” after completing Kiro’s recruitment quest, you should now be able to recruit onto your crew later, and yes, she comes with the ship.
• A spot where you could cum in Feruze without it being tracked was found and fixed.
• Fixed another issue with the “Get Service” scenes for the “The Twins” in Kiro’s quest that should improve the accessibility of the phallic version.
• Fixed handling of back-mounted genitalia’s orgasms in a scene with the gabilani chemist.
• Fixed a random variant in Feruze’s 69 scene not being random.
• Fixed two broken parsers in Azariah’s scenes.
• Added texts for NPCs using the “Low Blow” attack and hitting but not stunning. Previously, no text was written for this scenario.
• Half-Leithans should no longer have their race show as “Leithan” at creation.
• The Gabilani Chemist’s “Insta-rut” and “Insta-heat” attacks will now only be used if the PC is eligible for those status affects.
• Feruze has been assigned a modest grouping of sexual preferences. Previously, she had none defined. These affect the effectiveness of tease attacks.
• Fixed a small pile of typos.

JavaScript Port Updates:

• We officially brought Leek onto the team part-time to help Gedan with the porting legwork.
• Though Leek hasn’t reported to me on it yet, I can see the repo, and porting of Breedwell and Aurora is already ongoing.
• Geddy’s been chasing server shit most of the weekend. Just today I noticed I couldn’t paste images into forum posts for quick attachment/embeds and got that fixed, and DrunkZombie notices some email confirmation issues that might need handling too. Bear with us as we file off the rough edges.
• Speaking of the new server, it’s handling the load like a champ. Depending on how it keeps up, I may see about directly hosting image-embedded builds in the future.

It’s midnight here now, so instead of coding the Azariah stuff for backers tonight, I’ll have to poke at that tomorrow, assuming I’m not eaten by family responsibilities. (Edit: It looks like the patch deployment system was broken when I wrote this, so the update got delayed a bit…) Figuring out the various issues with Kiro recruitment burned more time than I thought. Who would have thought having an NPC that:

• can be two different followers
• can finish recruitment of at any time
• comes with her own ship whether you have room or not

…would be fiddly…?

Well, our old web host hurried us along by randomly imploding this morning. What you see now is the new server. It comes with a fatter pipe to more easily pump out all that thick, juicy content you’ve come to expect from us and our games. Of course, it’s not all positives. This surprising turn of events put a few kinks in our tentacles:

• We didn’t get to make a last-minute backup of all the blog and forum data. That means a day got Thanos-snapped off the forums, and my last patch was caught in the corssfire.
• Our git and backend pipeline for deploying new builds also got interrupted. It may be a little bit until the “Play” and “Backer Builds” headings are able to update with fresh patches as they used to.

In the meantime, I can still link you guys to the image-embedded version .swf for the bug fixes I did last night, if you have a stand-alone flash player to open it with.

Thank’s for bearing with us!

Hey guys, (Fen here)

UPDATE: Stuck in verification with the new host atm. It could be a few days.

Short version: we’re going to move web hosts shortly. We’re aware there are issues with Patreon account linking right now. They might not be fixed until we get everything set up and moved over.

Long version: we got reports that account linking was broken, which lead to the discovery of some DNS issues with our current host – on top of issues we were already aware of with our chosen hosting distro being on the way out. That makes right now a great time to move servers and set up something that’ll hopefully be a little more durable. We’re going to be swapping to a bigger hosting company with a nice phat bandwidth pipe for us to feed your downloads with. We might even get set with a second to serve as a backup or a download server for the games, but that’ll need some more discussion.

 

It’s been a while since I plugged a completely random game, but recently a friend of mine talked to me about a game called “Monster Girl Dreams“. I tried it out the other day, and…

It’s really damn good.

It plays a little like if Monster Girl Quest and Corruption of Champions had a baby, and I gotta say, I love it. Combat is largely sex & tease based with enemies having variable “weak spots” and vulnerable damage types. For example, fucking an elf in her vagina might reduce her to a drooling mess in no time, but do that to an Alarune, and you’re gonna have a great time – just not win the fight. The writing is generally solid and hot where it counts, tagging a lot of the same sorts of character archetypes that do so well in our games – like tsundere lizard-girls with tail-pegging scenes.

And there’s art!

Anyway if you’re needing to try something different, I highly recommend Monster Girl Dreams in spite of its unfinished status. There is a LOT of finished content.

(I also wrote 1,400 words more of crew Gianna recruitment content today.)

 

(TiTS Update: A WIP document for an enemy from the next tutorial dungeon is posted on Patreon. Wrote ~2000 words to finish a tit-fuck scene and some combat texts.)

Last week, I spoke about taking a week off to play Cyberpunk, intending to get some work done on the side. Typically, after four or five hours of a game, I’ll need a break. Instead, I played over 70 hours of Cyberpunk in a week. The game hooked me and hooked me hard, sequestering my brain inside my monitor for the duration. I don’t think I truly came up for air until after rushing for the ending over the last two days, but I’m coming back on the clock as I write this.

Now I can talk about it. I know the rest of the internet has been slinging their two cents every which way since before the game’s official release – metastasizing into a ball of virulent hate as gamers across the world dogpiled on to add their own particularly brands of grievance to the mass. I have a more positive take. Don’t get me wrong; there are a lot of legitimate issues that are worth complaining about: PS4/Xbone performance and review scummery in particular, but the game’s qualities are hardly all negative.

I’m working on a bad end for the Feruze fight where you’re taken by some slavers. It’s over 3,000 words thus far, and I haven’t started the body modification yet. It’s gonna be good.

Being ashamed never occurs to you. Shame is an emotion for people. You’re a pet. An object. <b>Owned</b>. If Mistress wants you to stop whining, she’ll train you not to. Your mind melts under the radiance of her divine will.

A scene for having a 69 with Feruze when you win is already finished. I have to do an alternate loss scene for PC’s that Feruze likes after this, then I can start playing with coding and working out the combat routine.

TL;DR: Feruze encounter document is at 12,000 words and 24 pages thus far with more to come. Should have a fair amount of reactivity based on whether you screwed her in the past.

I missed writing really wild bad ends.

THE ONLY THING LEFT FOR ME TO REVIEW IS FUTA PAIGE.

Soon, Fenny will be a free elf rutting minotaur.
