I seriously love these WIPs. Great work, Adjatha!

It’s always cool when something you expect to take three hours takes closer to five. Regardless, I’ve updated the public patch with… BUGFIXES!

[PUBLIC] 0.7.200 Changelog:

• A metric butt-ton of bug fixes, courtesy of Jacques00’s busy little fingers. This should be the last public patch till next month, so enjoy!

[BACKER] 0.7.201 Changelog:

• New Codex entry: Slyverens.
• New enemy: Slyveren Slavebreaker. Includes four win scenes, four losses, and a bad end. Big thanks to Wsan for chipping in and banging out half of this snake with me.
  • Slyveren Slavebreakers appear in the mines once you release the slaves after defeating Maike.
  • Right now, she steals your armor and/or panties if your crotch isn’t exposed when she grapples you, so you better not lose the fight after that, or you’ll be down some equipment! We will be looking into implimenting a secondary loot list that is gained on win OR loss in the future to better allow for “discarded” items being picked back up.
  • Note that some of her scenes have branching options – using her own throbb on her, for example, allows you to dose her with any additional throbb you might be carrying…
  • The bad end is currently activated by losing ten times without winning. I’m going to make this less forgiving in the future so that 3-4 consecutive losses should be enough. Winning slowly lowers the threshold for this.
  • The bust images coming down the pipe for these babes (and I say babes because they have two appearance variants) are incredible. I am in love.

Public Patch ETA: Wednesday Evening or early Thursday.

As promised, here’s the Ardia stuff. I’m going to go into the writemines after this for a bit to work on my blowjob snakes a bit!

0.7.197 Changelog:

• New busts: Ardia, Agrosh (Update: a typo with Agrosh’s bust is bugging out so that it’s not displaying. Drats! Fixed for next patch!)
• Ardia’s content has been completed, including options for giving her a horse-dick (pictured at right) or a big donut butthole.
• Authors for Ardia & Argosh have been correctly credited.
• Getting multiple addiction-related statuses from Ardia shouldn’t happen any more.
• Fixed some janky bust stuff.
• Zephyr can knock you up! Thanks to Gedan for coding it and Wsan for writing it! I’m told there’s still some lingering bugs in this one, so don’t be surprised if you fall on one!
• Jacques00 is back on the clock and finished up Nonesuch’s expansion for the plantation on Mhen’ga. Highlights include revisiting Quinn and participating in a “Pollen Dance”! Go get her!

Ardia’s bust is done by our own Adjatha!

0.7.196 Changelog:

• Ardia’s “Relax” menu has been added to the game. It includes a variety of drinks!
• A subset of adult activities has been added to the relax menu as well, starting with a single choice that branches quite a bit. All the routes aren’t done yet, however, so please be patient.
• Some support for modifying Ardia’s dick in a certain way was added, but no way to do it has yet been put in. Somewhere, Fenoxo is twirling his mustache menacingly.
• A basic setup for being addicted to Ardia has been created!
• A few fixes to Argosh’s statline were applied.
• It is now possible to spacewalk to the mine airlock from the hanger and vice versa at any time if you have the spacesuit and have already repaired the power conduit (or snuck up the with slaves and let the pirates deal with it).
• Dryspell has received a number of fixes for consistency’s sake thanks to TheRealDrunkZombie.
• Some support for cuddling Paige was added, written by B and coded by Lighterfluid. Thanks guys!
• Jacques00 is back and fixing bugs!

P.S. I might slip another patch out tonight if I manage to get the scene for Ardia written that I want to write. Also, I’ll probably be streaming some Overwatch later on my twitch. (NOPE! Something IRL came up.) Guess who played Overwatch for a couple hours on Twitch and then still wrote 1,200 words after? THIS GUY! Not going to code horsification of Ardia tonight since I’d like Savin to review it first. Gotta stay in character!

0.7.195 Changelog:

• It is now possible to get caught up with a shipment of pleasure slaves and fake your way into the second level of Zheng Shi… assuming you have a slave uniform on your person, culminating in a meeting with a pirate officer (Agrosh) and a cute Dzaan slave (Ardia)!
• New NPC: Ardia, though her sexytimes are still a work in progress. They’ll be rolling out in the days to come.
• Wsan is now properly credited for the Forgehound.
• The forgehound is now slightly less resistant to kinetic attacks and hugely resistant to fire damage.
• New Bust: Ardia.
• Fisianna can no longer crash your game by pegging you. Whew! Crisis averted!

Coming soon: more Ardia interactions, the slyveren slavebreaker enemy (if you’ve let any slaves free), room descriptions (and a lot more rooms) for the forge level.

Commander Schora in the shower by Ucite!

0.7.192 Changelog:

• Syri’s quest is now enabled! To start it, you’ve got to have her panties. After hitting that relationship marker (which procs randomly when landing at Mhen’ga), Burt will notify you that her job ended and she’s left. You can bump into her again at the Uveto Taxi station to get started! I’m pretty proud of Savin for this one. On the bugtesting playthrough I did, it really felt like the textual equivalent of something you would bump into while playing a triple-A game like Mass Effect.
• New Busts: Schora, Akkadi Security Bots, Maike, Torra, and Valden
• A new enemy, by Wsan, is active on the “Forge” levels of Zheng Shi: the Forgehound. He’s a big leithan boy with some Dzaan mods to make for extra fun. Enjoy!
• Geddanium rings got adjusted. Instead of increasing all tease-type damage the PC deals, they now count as a free “REALLY LIKES” sexual attribute for the purposes of teasing.
• <3

Enjoy the patch! Big shout out to lighterfluid and whimsalot for putting together the Syriquest code!

Fentaur by Mr.Pink

The wife is going to bed, and my work computer is in the bedroom, so I’ve got to push this out before Geddy gets me Syriquest merged in. Oh well! Additionally, the path for sneaking up with a shipment of slaves needs a small revision or two that I’m waiting on Savin to address before I can move with that. I wound up working up a map for the “forge” level of Zheng Shi and getting the elevator working with some placeholdered areas before rolling onto coding Wsan’s Forgehound enemy. It’s a pretty decent-sized beastie, but hopefully I can have him together tomorrow night  (along with Syri’s stuff). Ciao!

0.7.191 Changelog:

• The last chunk of the Zheng Shi mines has been rolled into place. There are still a few smaller details to populate the mines with, but we’re going to be moving on soon.
• The spacesuit in Zheng Shi can now be assembled and used to spacewalk out into the void.
• A new fight! The excavation bot can be faced during the aforementioned spacewalk.
• A new rare drop on Zheng Shi – Geddanium ring piercing! Put it on anywhere in order to take more damage from and deal more damage to a target.
• The Zheng Shi slave uniform can now have its zipper adjusted to reveal body parts for easy access!
• New Items: Slutty Jumper Jumpsuit and Jumper Jumpsuit! They can rarely drop from the Bored Jumper enemies.
• Maike’s maximum lust has been raised to 125.

Adjatha did an amazing job on Roz!

Yesterday I planned to have Roz done at 7 in the evening at the latest. I wasn’t comfortable with her till 10 PM. Today I cleaned up some bugs a few testers found, polished a few things, slipped in two of her three busts (the third isn’t finished), and polished up a few things with Maike.

0.7.189 Changelog:

• Fixed an issue that prevented saves with Maike’s Keycard as a physical item from loading. (Hopefully). I’ve also deleted the blog comments related to it in order to clear out the clutter and let me easily see if more issues crop up. Thanks!

0.7.188 Changelog:

• New enemy: Roz the galotian power-armor pilot. After encountering 7 or so enemies in Zheng Shi’s mines, she’ll be added to the encounter table. She’s a two stage with a solid variety of very good scenes (in my opinion) by Savin, Wsan, and myself. Mostly Savin and Wsan.
• New item: Goo Core. Goos and very intelligent PC’s can steal Roz’s, disabling her. When equipped by a goo-morphed player character, it increases intelligence and willpower by 20 points. Note you can also choose to steal it and let her earn it back, if you want to play with a less intelligent goo-girl for a bit.
• New Busts: Roz, Roz Nude, Pregnant Stella, and Pregnant Stella Nude.
• Maike’s Keycard is now a key item rather than a dropped item.

New This Month:

• New NPCs: Overseer Maike, Tessa the female ovir, Shizuya the “Meowmazon”, “Bored Jumper” (a futanari laquine in a bodysuit)!
• New Quest/Update: The plantation quest on Mhen’ga received numerous updates, breaking Lund down into a submissive
• New Items: Spacesuit Helmet (Save this), Slave Uniform, Dry Spell (wetness removal item),
• New Scenes: Taking an Urbolg facial in exchange for getting a slave collar off, Urbolg + female centaurs, intentional Urbolg collar bad-end,
• New Busts: Shizuya, Bored Jumper’s (x4), Tivf
• Mechanics change: maintaining an overall negative evasion increases your damage taken.

It’s funny. Back in the CoC days, one transformation and an enemy was a HUGE change. Now I look and see four new characters (five with today’s), quest updates, and a bunch of scene additions and feel like we didn’t do enough. We’ll just have to aim for more next month.

As always, thank you guys so much for your generous support. My next goals are going to be to put in the last 1/3 of the mine’s planned rooms, completing the spacesuit, doing the spacewalk + robot boss fight to enable the elevator, and setting up the “stowaway as a fuckslave to get to the foundry level” route. Hopefully we can have that set up and good to go, (along with the forgehound mob Wsan wrote) for next month!

This one’s got a lot going on and ties into a lot of things that are unfinished. Do not throw away the spacesuit helmet. It’s key to progressing to the next level of Zheng Shi. I’d recommend keeping a save from BEFORE handling Maike just in case something screwy happens.

0.7.186 & 0.7.187 Changelog:

• Overseer Maike has been added to Zheng Shi’s mines. She’s a pretty damned tough fight written by SoAndSo.
• Overseer Maike drops a spacesuit helmet – a key item required to spacewalk in a future patch and restore the elevator’s power.
• Overseer Maike also drops a keycard to allow you to open her office. I still intend to put an intelligence requirement on the hacking.
• Wearing the new slave uniform to Maike and bluffing can result on you getting a shock collar put on you that prevents HP and energy recovery when resting. Urbolg can fix it for a price… or something else.
• Stealth field now lasts 1 turn longer.
• Various fixes and tweaks.
