Full release to be out Friday

Hello again!

As the title says, the full release of v0.3.4 is expected to be out in two days from now. I had hoped to have it out tonight, but the sex positioning code refactor I decided to do ended up taking a lot longer than I thought it would. As a result, there are still some semi-major bugs and untested changes in the current code, and so I thought it would be best to push the full release back by a couple of days, rather than release what I have now, and then have to make a hotfix for the weekend anyway.

Just to show that there is progress being made towards this next version, I've pushed my local code to the github's dev branch again. I'd advise against building and playing it right now, however, as there are still some bugs that I need to fix.

I also just wanted to explain why I decided to do this positioning refactor (instead of other, more fun, things):
1. All positions currently do not support taurs correctly, and adding new sex content in this current state is just making more work that will need to be refactored later on.
2. Not all sex positions support 4 doms and 4 subs, which is what I'm aiming to have support for across all the game's sex scenes.
3. Positioning actions in sex need to be completely revamped so that you can set exactly who goes into what slot, as the current positioning actions are getting very messy and confusing to navigate.
4. The old positioning code is split into two parallel implementations at the moment, which again is causing several issues whenever I go to add another sex scene.
5. I wanted to be able to add new slots to sex positions (such as scissoring and lap-pillow), and the current system makes this a very messy business.

So I decided to get this refactor done now before it got to be too big. Now that it's done, I'll get these last bugs fixed and add the long-awaited 'buying Brax' content, with an expected (and maybe too optimistic?) target for having the full release out on Friday night. (So hopefully ~48 hours from this post.)

Version 0.3.3.10 (Preview) Progress Update

Hello,

First of all, I'm sorry about how long it's been since the last update here on the blog. I had some issues over the month of July, and was not able to work on Lilith's Throne enough to get a release out. I know I should have communicated this a lot sooner to you, but my feelings of guilt at not having anything new to show to you made me reluctant to post anything. I'll try not to let that happen again in the future.

Anyway, regarding this update, I got some bugs fixed, some Father's day content added (rather late, due to the issue of not being here throughout July), balance changes applied, and some other minor things sorted out. I've also finished adding the full support for multiple characters interacting with one targeted character's sex area, although I've only added actions & descriptions for up to three characters performing a blowjob on one target so far. I'm going to revamp the way positioning actions work for the next release, so it will be a lot easier to get these multiple-character situations started in the future (I think it's impossible to see this multiple-character blowjob outside of the one sex scene in the new Father's day content so far).

Please be warned, if you decide to build this from github, there might (will) be some bugs in this version, but hopefully it's nothing too major. I'll do my very best to get everything polished up for the full release, in which there will be the aforementioned sex positioning improvements, along with bug fixes and (hopefully) some other fun stuff. I won't give a precise date for the full release, but I am aiming to have it ready within a week or so of this preview release.

Thank you all so much for your support and understanding over the past month! I'll work extra hard to make up for the time I missed.

Also, as a final note, I just wanted to confirm that I deleted a lot of the recent comments which were aimed at stirring up drama or insulting one another. I do not mind if you want to leave a comment saying that you think the game sucks, or that my work schedule is terrible, but those which I deleted had nothing to do with the game, and were simply trying to stir up drama for the sake of it. I also disabled anonymous comments in order to get things under control, but I will re-enable them when I put out the full release next week. Sorry to those of you who report bugs and provide feedback anonymously; you will be able to do so again soon. (I know that this situation only occurred because of my lack of communication and progress; I will strive to do better in the future.)

If you're not a backer on SubscribeStar, you can still build and play these previews yourself from the public github (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!

ALSO IMPORTANT: Only the 'dev' branch of the github is updated to 0.3.3.10. Make sure you build from dev!

v0.3.3.10

Gameplay:

Added some Father's day content, which triggers when entering Lilaya's mansion during daylight hours between the 14th and 21st of June (in-game time). You also need to have progressed the main quest past the point of meeting Lyssieth, and not have a negative desire towards the incest fetish.

Added 'offhand strike' as a combat move, which deals 100% of your offhand weapon's damage to the target.

Added a toggle in the content options to disable the 'Enchantment capacity' mechanic. (The game won't ever be balanced around this option being turned off, so you will be able to get very OP with it off.)

Clothing can now support multiple slots into which it can be fit. The 'rental_mommy.xml' file is no longer used as the example for modders, as I've made a 'template' folder as a tutorial instead, which also explains how to define these multiple slot options.

Added a small Father's day encounter where someone gives you Vixen's Virility pills (occurs during the third week of June).

Artwork:

Added image variations of ChattyNeko's Lilaya artwork of her with a shirt on.

Contributors:

Fixed bug where the back button on the selfie page wasn't working. (Fix by Stadler)

Added: Toeless stockings. (Variation of the 'striped toeless stockings' by Blooms)

Clothing:

Added: Hard hat. (Head slot, no femininity requirements, sold by Nyan.)

Balance:

Altered energy and aura calculations, to give more weight to level and physique/arcane.

Reset the player's base attributes, as an extra 10 physique was incorrectly applied to the player upon starting a new game. (This shouldn't affect anything else, as permanent attributes are only obtained through the debug menu at the moment.)

It is now free to remove positive enchantments from clothing/weapons/tattoos.

Positive corruption, fertility, and virility attribute enchantments no longer have an enchantment capacity cost.

Allies no longer regain 100% of health and aura when ending combat.

Elementals now have 100 spell efficiency from their core 'elemental' perk.

Balanced natural physical resistance on all clothing.

Did another balance pass on all resistance values from perks and status effects.

Sex:

Added support for multiple characters participating in the same ongoing penetrative action. Currently implemented for blowjobs, so up to three characters can be performing a blowjob on one person at once. Added description variations for all blowjob actions related to this.

When in sex, if a character's mouth is blocked, all of their speech is now replaced with muffled noises.

Converted the 'sitting' sex position into the new format, so that it correctly supports taur bodies (who cannot sit on a chair).

Added an 'Assist blowjob' sex action, where a third party can push the head of the person giving a blowjob down onto the cock of the person receiving it.

Amber now 'assists' you if you choose to thank Zaranix by giving him a blowjob. Zaranix now also orgasms twice before ending that sex scene, and several other minor issues have been fixed in it (such as being being able to stop the blowjob).

Characters moving to perform cunnilingus or anilingus on taurs will now correctly move behind their partner, insstead of beneath them.

Added a 'receive oral' position variation during sitting sex for taurs.

Added 'between legs' position slot during sitting sex for non-taurs.

Altered requirements of the 'Request rough sex' action, so that only NPCs with the 'masochist' fetish will use it. (This also fixes Nyan asking for rough sex.)

'Dirty talk', 'Submissive talk', 'Rough talk', 'Request rough sex', and the 'Request/Offer X' actions now all have variations for if the person's mouth is blocked.

Kate's sex scenes now correctly start with you standing between her legs (or over the top of her, if you're a taur), not sitting in her lap.

Nyan's sex scene now takes into account if you have a taur body or not.

NPCs who dislike the masochist fetish will now ask for their dominant partner to be gentle with them in sex.

'Submissive talk' and 'Rough talk' actions are now only available to characters who have the submissive or dominant/sadist fetishes, respectively. These actions are now also available for you to use, limited by the same criteria. The 'convincing requests' perk affects these actions, overriding the target's preference for accepting/denying the related pace.

Other:

Renamed 'energy' attribute to 'health'.

Renamed 'resistance' attributes to 'shielding'.

'Barren' and 'Firing blanks' perks now give -200 to fertility and virility, respectively.

Improved debug menu's item viewer.

Renamed 'enchantment stability' to 'enchantment capacity' to make it clearer that it's a limiting attribute.

Removed majority of attribute boosts from elementals' subspecies status effect, as their stats are derived from perks instead.

The action name for 'Strike' and 'Offhand-strike' combat moves now display the descriptor for your equipped weapon.

The 'Savage attack' special attack is now available to anyone who has a wolf-morph's face and arms.

Changed Vicky's shop icon on the map.

Youko can no longer alter the number of tails they have via TF potions.

Potions made from the Fox-morph racial ingredient (Chicken Pot Pie) can no longer grant Youko tails. (Both of these changes are in preparation for the lore-friendly Youko TF.)

Defined tail ribbon as being able to be alternatively equipped into the hair slot. Defined hair scrunchie as being able to be alternatively equipped into the wrist or tail slot.

Added tooltips to combat's shielding icons.

Turning slimes into angelic slimes, and then reverting them to flesh, will now revert those body parts to human, in the same way non-demonic slimes lose their demon parts when turning back to flesh.

Moved all hand clothing out into xml files in the res folder.

All non-slave slimes and demons will now transform back into their preferred gender form when you are no longer in the same tile as them.

Added occupation 'OCCUPATION_occupation_enum' and clothing type 'CT_clothing_id' parser tags. Also added a way to define Strings for use in the parser in the code, by means of the new 'SpecialParsingString' methods in UtilText.

Arthur's home in Demon Home is not revealed until you've gained the quest to find him. Similarly, Zaranix's house has been moved to its own tile in Demon Home, and is not revealed until you get the associated quest.

The 'too masculine/feminine' clothing status effect now inflicts -15 lust damage instead of -5 arcane.

Added centaurs, unitaurs, pegataurs, and alitaurs to the list of races you can find when searching for a partner in 'The Watering Hole'.

Added text variations for the footsie and seating sex actions in 'The Watering Hole' for if either you or your partner are not bipedal, and fixed the toilet stall sex not supporting taur positions.

Added support for if you have a taur body when having sex with Kalahari and interacting with Kruger.

Added more information to the character information tooltip (when hovering over the race symbol next to their name).

Added minor variations for Vanessa's sex scenes for if you have a non-bipedal lower body.

Moved all of Kate's dialogue out into an external .txt file in the res folder.

Added ability to switch in to/out of the 'sitting' sex position. As it's part of the to-be-fully-updated new sex positioning methods, the follow-on options are currently a little limited.

Added 'freckled (face)' covering for skin, to apply a freckled pattern only to the character's face.

Bugs:

Fixed major bug in how weapon damage was being calculated, which was causing damage to rise multiplicatively with each attribute that was affecting it (making damage numbers far too high).

Fixed several parsing errors.

Fixed the purchase of the quadruple slave room upgrade not working correctly, and made it available as an upgrade from double slave rooms.

Fixed giving yourself perk points in the debug menu not working.

Summoning elementals out of combat now correctly drains your aura.

Fixed fire elemental not being able to be summoned outside of combat (through the spells menu), and fixed it so that it uses energy to cast if you are too low on mana.

Fixed elementals not having their core two perks unlocked.

Fixed clothing resistance values being incorrectly displayed in a couple of places.

Allowing NPCs to manage your clothing in sex should now work correctly.

Fixed baneful fissure's status effect being applied to allies of the caster.

Attempting (and failing or succeeding) to escape from combat will now correctly reverse selected moves of you and your allies (thereby refunding spent aura/energy).

Fixed bug where combat moves would stay queued up when attempting to escape.

Fixed bug where NPCs trying to cast fire spells would softlock combat.

Fixed 'Ass-to-mouth' and 'Pussy-to-mouth' orgasm actions being available during spitroasting.

Fixed incorrect reference to Kate having black hair in her intro scenes.

Fixed issue with not being able to rename Youko slaves.

Fixed issue with altering a Youko's tail count not increasing their stats.

Clothing management during sex will now correctly use the rough description variant if the managing character is in the rough pace.

Importing a character when starting a new game, or when importing one as a slave, will now correctly clear their sex and combat history.

Fixed incorrect description of clothing going into NPCs' inventory when you took it for yourself.

Fixed bug where new player characters would start with an extra 10 physique.

Sex with slaves now correctly sets your companions and other slaves present in the room to be dominant & submissive spectators, respectively.

Fixed background errors being thrown upon starting a new game related to the Rental Mommy not being spawned in.

Fixed Lilaya's and Meraxis's nipples, anus, vagina, and penis colours not being updated to their correct demonic colours when being transformed (or have already been transformed) into a demon.

Fixed fingering and other appendage-area actions missing from the standing sex position.

Fixed orgasm cum targets missing from some sex positions (making it so cumming on the floor was)

Fixed another issue in sex where if a character was receiving a handjob, they would be unable to start receiving anal or vaginal sex.

When NPCs use a sex action that ends sex, it now correctly stops other characters from performing more actions afterwards.

Fixed some categories of clothing being absent from the debug item view menus.

Fixed issue in the sex scene with Ralph's 'big discount', as well as in the Breeding stall scene, where vaginally-equipped clothing might get permanently deleted.

Version 0.3.3.8 Release

Hello again!

This is the first public update which integrates Irbynx's combat PR, and as such, you will notice several changes in combat, as well as with NPCs' stats and perk trees. (More information in the patch notes below, and from the post about 0.3.3.6.)

I know combat isn't the main focus of the game, but it was getting to the point where it was impossible to balance, and I'd therefore never be able to offer players a challenge without making these changes. Clothing enchantments and permanent potion attributes were nerfed and removed, respectively, for the same reason - with practically unlimited upgrades on clothing/potions, it was impossible to even consider balancing combat.

While this update will now allow me to balance combat numbers and boss fights, I haven't had time to work my way through all of that yet (as all my time was spent on just implementing this new system), so the damage numbers are likely to be quite high. I'll get that addressed for the next update, and will also improve the difficulty settings soon.

As a lot of combat-related content was changed, there might be some issues/bugs. If there are any really serious ones, I'll try to get a hotfix out as soon as I can.

So long as there aren't any delays caused by a hotfix, I should have the next preview version, v0.3.3.10, out in one week's time (Friday 21st June), with the full version of v0.3.4 out the Friday after that (28th June). As all of these combat updates are now done (with just balancing of numbers left to do) I plan on focusing on content for the next update.

As always, you can also build these releases yourself from the public github (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 need to place the 'liliths-throne-public/res' folder in the same directory as the exported .jar!

Version 0.3.3.8 patch notes:

Gameplay:

All characters (including yours) have had their perk trees reset/regenerated, due to new perks being added and the perk tree layout slightly changed.

Added 'enchantment stability' attribute, which determines how many points of modified attributes you're able to handle from your clothes or tattoos without incurring a penalty.

'Enchantment stability' starts at 10, and is increased by 1 per level, and can also be increased via new perks.

Rose briefly warns you about this enchantment stability in the final scene of the prologue.

Clothing, weapon, and tattoo enchantment limits have been increased to 100.

Added 'convincing requests' perk: Requests during sex are no longer denied by sadists or rough dominants.

Added 'object of desire' perk: All partners in sex require +1 orgasm before being satisfied.

Added 'arcane smith' perk: Halves arcane essence cost of enchanting weapons.

You can now enchant 'Angel's Nectar' into 'Angel's Purity', which allows you to permanently remove corruption.

Contributors:

Fixed appearance stating that slimes could fly. (PR#1165 by Stadler76)

Fixed issue where unicorn 'horns per row' were only being set if the character already had horns. (PR#1160 by Stadler76)

Fixed bug when randomly-spawned incubi in the dark alleyways would throw a background error when using some attacks. (PR#1172 by TheKingInYellow)

Fixed bug where if there were multiple horn types in the enchantment UI, clicking on each type would give a randomised horn type, instead of the selected one. (PR#1175 by Stadler76)

Norin's clothing contributions:

Added: 6 new hair accessory items: bobby pins; celtic barrette; dragonfly bobby pin; hair pins; scrunchie; hair sticks. (All in hair slot, sold by Nyan.)

Added: 4 new rose-themed piercing items: rose earrings; rose lip piercing; rose navel piercing; rose nose piercing. (In related piercing slots, sold by Kate.)

Added: 4 new sunflower-themed piercing items: sunflower earrings; sunflower lip piercing; sunflower navel piercing; sunflower nose piercing. (In related piercing slots, sold by Kate.)

Added: 8 new other piercing items: heart-shaped barbell; bat earrings; flower lip piercing; chained nipple rings; nipple rings; pentagram piercing; 'SEX' barbell; vertical hood piercing. (In related piercing slots, sold by Kate.)

DSG's clothing contributions:

Added: Men's leather jacket. (Over-torso slot, masculine, sold by Nyan.)

Added: Fox-patterned scarf. (Neck slot, no femininity requirements, sold by Nyan.)

Combat:

The spell 'Soothing Waters' now has an AP cost of 3.

Removed aura burn from performing melee attacks while under the effect of cloak of flames.

The special ability for the spell school of fire is no longer +2 fire damage on melee attacks. Instead, it unlocks mana burn, which allows you to cast fire spells at a cost of energy once your aura is depleted, at a cost of 1/4 the regular spell cost.

Removed damage multiplier based on level difference.

Removed a few final instances of the old resistance calculation being used.

Did some balancing of status effect and perk attribute bonuses (mainly reducig some resistance values here and there).

Block/Shielding values in combat can now go negative (and are thus displayed as greyed-out shield values in combat), so negative resistances actually mean something now.

All lust-damaging attacks now correctly apply 2xlust damage to energy and 1x lust damage to aura when the target's lust is at 100.

Slavery:

Added a four slave capacity upgrade to the rooms in Lilaya's home.

The double and quadruple capacity room upgrades now have a minor obedience drain associated with them (to represent slaves conspiring with one another against you).

The 'Double size bed' upgrade is now described as each slave getting their own double-size bed, instead of them sharing one in double capacity rooms.

Other:

Randomly generated NPCs have a 50% chance to spawn with a minor background perk unlocked (to boost their physique, corruption, or arcane). Your slaves/occupants might gain one of these perks when you load in (reloading won't change results).

Added 'autosave frequency' setting to the content options screen.

Added an outfit file for harpy nest attackers, as well as for clubbers in 'The Watering Hole', so their outfits will no longer be completely random.

Added 'unique sex partners', 'cum in womb', 'cum in ass', 'cum in stomach', and 'value as slave' tattoo counter types.

Added notifications to event log for: area transitions; items/clothing/weapons dropped, used, and bought/sold; clothing/weapons dyed/reforged; weapons equipped/unequipped; clothing equipped/unequipped; money/essences gained/lost; experience gained; level ups.

Added a 'RIGID_MATERIAL' item tag, so that modders can define clothing as being unsuitable to be groped through. This has been applied to chastity cages and chastity belts, which both now block groping sex actions.

The Western KKP can now be recoloured.

Added 'desaturated brown' as a clothing/weapon colour.

Added 'Dye all (stack)' and 'Dye all' actions to the clothing & weapon dye menu.

Jinxed clothing status effect now gives +10 corruption, instead of -5 aura.

Increased levels of: Rental mommy by 5; Meraxis by 5; Candi by 4; Brax by 4; Amber by 3;

Bugs:

Fixed typos/parsing errors.

Imported characters (either as a new player character or as slaves) now have both their unique quest items, and their concealed race status removed.

Fixed bug where sex would freeze/crash if you unrestricted your partner's control.

To fix an issue where NPCs would choose boring sex actions, NPCs' foreplay and main sex preferences are now recalculated when you unrestrict their control, as well as when you permit them to take positioning actions.

Fixed issues in debug transformation menu, where some body colours were displayed as slime colours, and other transformation options were limited as though it was the regular transformation menu.

Fixed lust gains for NPCs who were receiving anal penetration being affected by their preference for performing anal.

Possibly fixed the cause of not being able to use positioning actions when playing as a taur. (I was unable to replicate this bug, but fixed a potential cause for it.)

Fixed 'lustful suggestion' and 'calming suggestion' sex actions applying their effects to the wrong target.

Fixed issue where you could get stuck at 99 arousal in sex, and never be able to reach orgasm.

Tooltips for actions in sex should no longer display 'available' when that action is disabled.

Penis size preferences should now correctly be taken into account in all instances of penis generation.

Fixed weapon and clothing names resetting when equipped.

Added indication to imperial fluid measurements for when a value is close to, but not exactly, 0.

Fixed issue with unique NPCs dropping their clothes after sex if you cummed on them.

Fixed similar bug where NPCs would not replace their clothing properly after sex if you cummed on them.

Fixed issue where muggers could spawn in as ambiphilic, even if you had ambiphilic set to 0% chance in the options. (Prostitutes still spawn in as ambiphilic until I can add orientation-based dialogue variations.)

Characters' clits now get lubricated by girlcum at the same time as their vagina do.

Fixed missing ongoing text for tribbing tooltip.

The requirement of having the now-removed 'Brawler' trait in Fyrsia's imp fortress encounter has been replaced with the requirement of having the 'martial artist' trait.

Characters who spawn in the nightclub will no longer have unsuitable jobs assigned to them (such as 'slime queen', 'arcane elemental', or 'elder lilin').

Fixed issues with receiving handjobs not being available while being penetrated anally.

Characters can no longer start tribbing while fucking someone's ass.

Fixed some minor logical errors in dialogue when inviting your offspring to come and live with you.

NPCs will no longer remove their partner's 'sex toy' clothing during sex, unless that sex toy is blocking an area that they are focusing on. (e.g. They will no longer remove strapless dildos unless they want access to your vagina.)

Tattoos with custom names will no longer have the enchantment-related name endings appended to them.

Fixed clothing cleaning cum text referring to the clothing being inserted into the associated orifice, even if the clothing was not an insertable item.

Lilaya now smacks the vixen's virility pill out of your hand if you try to give her one.

NPCs will now only remove shoes if they have a positive desire towards the associated foot fetish (either giving or receiving), and if they are not sadists or masochists (respectively, as they don't care about pain from shoes if they are).

Fixed background error being thrown in slave/occupant rooms when trying to cycle through sex targets when there was only one character present.

Fixed issue with requests in sex not working.

Fixed broken formatting when viewing slave/companion perk tree.

Resetting NPCs' perk trees no longer makes them automatically assign perk points.

Fixed Ice Shard not applying a critical hit when the target was affected by Freezing Fog.

Fixed bug in combat where selecting moves would tick down and apply effects of combat status effects on NPCs, causing them to take damage during the move selection phase.

Removed ability to dye patterns onto trainer socks until I can get multiple pattern areas can work.

Fixed formatting of spells casted during combat, and added indication of when fire spells will cause mana burn.

Angels no longer suffer from menopause.

Fixed bugs that could cause reforged/dyed weapons and clothing to not stack properly with one another.

Fixed issue where you could gain some unrelated perks by reading demonic books in Lilaya's library and elsewhere.

Fixed random NPCs not having correct perk trees generated, or not using all of their perk points.

Fixed some unique NPCs having non-trait perks equipped in their trait bar.

Slaves set to idle will now correctly have sex with other idle slaves (if permissions are set correctly), provided that they can reach each other (house permissions, or in same room). Slaves assigned to the stocks are also now working as suitable sex targets when home.

Fixed issue with idling slaves not applying correct sex effects when having sex with one another (which was causing issues such as tattoo counters and sex counts not being incremented).

Fixed major bug where characters loaded in from old versions would disappear, throwing numerous errors in the background.

Version 0.3.3.6 Progress Update

Hello!

Sorry once again about the delay; as part of the combat update, there turned out to be a lot more things that needed altering than I first thought. Anyway, this v0.3.3.6 is the preview version for the merging of Irbynx's combat update PR into the main game, which I've just now pushed to the public github.

If you decide to download and build it, please keep in mind that it isn't completely finished yet, and for the public release next Friday (14th), I'm planning on making some further tweaks and adjustments to several areas, as well as doing a balance of the damage numbers.

Although I build these preview versions for supporters over on my SubscribeStar page, you can still build and play these previews yourself from the public github (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!

ALSO IMPORTANT: Only the 'dev' branch of the github is updated to 0.3.3.6. Make sure you build from dev!

v0.3.3.5

Combat update (PR#916 by Irbynx):

Completely overhauled combat loop.

The old turn based system has been modified into an action-point based turn system.

Added blocking/shielding system, along with a few basic attack moves.

You are now able to see intents of enemies and allies in combat.

Abilities available to any character in combat are limited to maximum of 8 - respective menu added to phone to assign abilities, and to companion/slave management to manage theirs.

Combat AI is a little smarter now, although improvements can be made.

HP formula changed to avoid physique playing a major role in it.

Mana formula changed to overally bring the amount of mana to 100-120 average values.

An overhaul to unarmed damage calculation.

'Defence modifier' has been added as an attribute, and applies a boost or drain to damage shielding for the character at the start of each combat turn.

'Dodge chance' and 'Miss chance' have been removed from the game. Spells and other effects that modified 'Dodge chance' or 'Miss chance' have been converted into a positive or negative 'Defence modifier' value, respectively.

The extra effect of the spell 'Rain Cloud', 'Cloud burst', is now triggered by being hit by a critical attack, instead of being triggered by missing an attack.

Special tease attacks now do limited damage vs enemies who dislike the associated fetish. (i.e. Doing a 'virility tease' on someone who dislikes the 'pregnancy' fetish will only do 1 damage.)

You can now set an allied and enemy target, so you don't have to keep on switching target to cast friendly spells/abilities.

Beneficial spells & abilities will now automatically be applied to your allied target, whereas detrimental spells, abilities, and attacks will be applied to your enemy target.

The main three stat bars (physique/arcane/corruption) are now hidden during combat, so that it's easier to see multiple combatant's stats.

Bugs:

Typo/parsing fixes.

Fixed issue with incorrect names being parsed in speech.

Fixed an issue with names sometimes being parsed as though they were within speech when they weren't.

v0.3.3.6

Engine:

Moved Perk Enums into classes.

Gameplay:

All permanent attribute boosts for all characters will be reset upon loading into the game.

All characters' perk trees will be reset upon loading into the game.

You can no longer gain permanent increases to your attributes through potions. The only way to increase attributes now is through clothing, status effects, perks, or unique events.

Removed base attribute increases for races, and instead put attribute bonuses in subspecies' unique status effects.

The perk trees for all non-elementals (including that of the player) have been modified. Added several new traits and perks, and the 'root' lust perk is now unlocked by default.

You can no longer go 'back up' the perk tree to unlock perks. All unlock progress must now always be down or on the same level.

All NPCs no longer have attributes assigned to them upon creation, and instead select perks based on their subspecies's preferences.

Characters who are enslaved no longer have their job-related trait converted into the slave trait. Characters who spawn into the game as slaves will have the slave trait, however.

Altered aura calculation to rely more on the value of your arcane attribute.

Resistance attributes no longer provide a percentage damage reduction, and instead provide shielding equal to their value in each turn in combat.

Clothing now provides 10% of the physical resistance it used to. (For any modders, please continue to use integer values of 1 and over - the reduction to 10% is done in the code.)

Other:

You can now see NPCs' perk trees at the bottom of their character description pages.

Amber now has two demonstones equipped as weapons.

Added several unique occupational perks for both unique and non-unique NPCs.

Brax/Bree/Brandi no longer wears shoes.

Adjusted the levels of several unique NPCs.

Reduced clothing attribute modifiers from -5/-3/-1/1/3/5 to -3/-2/-1/1/2/3.

More combat changes:

Added status effect application indication in combat moves tooltips.

Changed spell's critical hit requirement to being the only action used that turn.

Changed the colour of the 'lust' attribute from scarlet to light pink, and 'physical damage' from red to grey-brown.

Removed 'critical chance' and 'bonus lust shielding' attributes. Altered status effects, subspecies bonues, and clothing enchantments which used these attributes. Enchanted clothing/weapons which had critical chance modifiers have been converted to critical damage.

Renamed 'critical hit damage' to 'critical power'.

Added shielding for energy damage as a separate shielding type from physical.

Block now blocks all energy damage, not just physical.

Racial resistances have been removed. Instead of increasing your stats, race books now give you a unique perk which boosts damage vs that race. (You can get the lilin and elder lilin unique perks by returning to Lyssieth and asking about 'Recap' and 'Family', respectively.)

(If you have defeated the imps in the Imp Citadel, you should have your imp racial damage replaced by a special perk, 'imp slayer', when you load in.)

Bugs:

Tease damage done to a target who is immune to the 'instant-loss at 100 lust' effect will now correctly start to damage their health.

Restored Rose's virginity for if it was accidentally taken in a version where her sex actions weren't working properly.

Fixed issue with player's prediction moves in combat not being cleared each turn.

Fixed move cooldowns not being reset when you used the 'Reset' action in combat.

Fixed combat prediction text not correctly identifying when the move would be a critical.

Fixed issue with characters getting a huge amount of perk points.

Fixed issue in characters' information screens, where relationships sometimes included an 'Unknown'.

Fixed some parsing errors.

Version 0.3.3 Release

Edit: The preview is delayed to Friday 7th.

Hello!

I've once again got a lot of bugs fixed for this version, which means that I've (almost) completely caught up with all the bug reports that had been piling up over the past several versions. I should now be clear to continue on adding content for the next versions, which will first take the form of the combat update. I had hoped to have that ready for this release, but I've still got several things to sort out before it's ready...

I should have the next preview version, v0.3.3.5, out in one week's time (Friday 31st May), with the full version of v0.3.4 out the Friday after that (7th June).

As always, you can also build these releases yourself from the public github (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 need to place the 'liliths-throne-public/res' folder in the same directory as the exported .jar!

Version 0.3.3 patch notes:

Contributors:

Fixed Lyssieth's demon TF scene for if you are a taur. (PR#1128 by Stadler76)

Sex:

Added 'choke' action for dominant partners in sex. (Only available if their hands can reach their partner's neck, and if they have at least one hand free.)

NPCs will now only ever use 'slap face' or 'choke' actions if they have the sadist fetish.

Slightly improved post-sex descriptions for the companion sex scenes.

Fixed bug where you could 'Start kissing', even if you were already kissing your partner.

Fixed being able to perform tribbing at the same time as penis-vagina penetration or intercrural sex.

Added status effect indication of ongoing tribbing action (only shows up when tribbing is ongoing).

Fixed availability of impossible mutual ongoing actions, such as performing anal and receiving intercrural at the same time.

Improved NPCs' choice of sex positioning, so they should now prefer to take submissive positions when wanting to be penetrated, and vice versa. (e.g. An NPC wanting to be fucked should now choose 'on back' slot in missionary.)

Fixed being able to use the 'Double creampie' orgasm action when the second person didn't have a vagina.

Fixed the 'mounting' positions in taur sex sometimes not being available.

Fixed bug where switching to doggy style while there was a spectator would cause the game to freeze.

Fixed a fingering action, as well as all handjob actions, having 'horny' corruption requirements instead of 'vanilla'.

Fixed some broken parsing in the new 'slap face' action.

Sex with Lilaya no longer immediately ends if you cum inside of her while wearing a condom (and the condom doesn't break).

NPCs will no longer remove socks when giving footjobs, and will now remove their target's shoes if they want to receive a footjob, unless they are masochists.

Fixed formatting for clothing displacement/removal text.

Fixed issue with NPCs saying they want to taste your cum when asking you to creampie their urethra.

Equipped clothing that gets dirtied during sex will no longer have its displacements reset.

Fixed background error being thrown when orgasming with no penis.

Bugs:

Typo and grammatical fixes.

Fixed several elusive parsing-related bugs, which were causing odd and difficult-to-reproduce instances of text parsing failure.

Fixed a game-breaking bug where if the game auto-saved in the same scene that the jinxed clothing quest was first revealed, that save would be unable to be loaded.

Fixed background error being thrown when an NPC gave birth, which would cause the map & other UI elements to seemingly break at random.

Fixed 'Ass-to-mouth' orgasm action in doggy-style causing cum to be pumped into the wrong person's ass.

Issues with parsing and some other errors associated with having sex with companions have been fixed.

Offspring as a result of selfcest should now correctly be referred to as full siblings instead of half-siblings.

Fixed issue with Amber having a sex preference for your vagina, even if you didn't have one.

Fixed the parser's '##' output suppression causing all parsing to break.

Half-demons will no longer spawn in Dominion during an arcane storm (as they are, by default, immune to the effects that would cause them to attack you).

The 'Risk of pregnancy' status effect no longer expels all fluids stored in your vagina if it's revealed that you're not pregnant when the effect comes to an end.

Fixed pregnancy's birthing date not being set correctly if the father was unknown.

Fixed the 'heels' item of clothing having incorrect default colours (the soles were coloured tan instead of the insides) and incorrect references to 'flats'.

Fixed Lilaya's lab coat not being unbuttoned.

Fixed bug where Lilaya could get pregnant and never complete the pregnancy, thereby perpetually locking you out of her lab.

Lyssieth no longer loses affection towards you upon ending her demon-TF sex scene (which was caused by not orgasming enough times to be satisfied).

Affection and obedience change descriptions are now properly rounded (to remove instances such as 'X now has -14.2999995 obedience').

You can now correctly set your surname to be blank in city hall.

Fixed some incorrect descriptions of Diana and her harpy followers.

Fixed bug in tattoo mods where secondary and tertiary colour availability would always be using the values for primary colours.

Fixed game-breaking bug where selling a slave who is also your companion would cause the game to lock up.

Fixed incorrect naming of half-demon taurs' feral parts (as they were always called demonic-horse, even if the taur type was of a different species).

Transforming a half-demon into a taur now correctly preserves their genitals as demonic.

Version 0.3.2.6 Progress Update

Hello!

Sorry that I'm a day late in making this blog post; I had got v0.3.2.5 pushed to github last night, but was too tired to make a post about it. There were several bugs in it as well, which I've now fixed for this v0.3.2.6, which has also been pushed to github.

For this version, I've mainly been working on bugs and some sex improvements. I had also hoped to get Irbynx's combat PR merged into the game for this update, but there are still several things which I need to adapt/fix before it's ready, so that will have to come in the next one. The full, public release should be out next Friday (24th May).

Also, I've got a SubscribeStar page set up as an alternative to Patreon, so I'm now building these preview releases for backers over there, just as I used to for backers on Patreon.

If you're not a backer on SubscribeStar, you can still build and play these previews yourself from the public github (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!

ALSO IMPORTANT: Only the 'dev' branch of the github is updated to 0.3.2.6. Make sure you build from dev!

v0.3.2.5

Contributors:

Cleaned up inventory code. (PR#1146 by Pimgd)

Added 'light grey', 'dark grey', and 'gunmetal grey' colours. (PR#1147 by GynoidDoesGames)

Fixed issue with sex sometimes never ending when having sex with a companion in their room. (PR#1153 by A-haron)

Fixed sex behaviour treating strapons as though they were going to cum. (PR#1151 by A-haron)

Other:

Time until end of arcane storm is now displayed in tooltip if you have the arcane spell school ability unlocked.

Added a pink background for ongoing sex action status effects, to help to highlight what's happening during sex scenes.

Growing unicorn horns via TF potion will now reset horns per row to 1 a the moment of transformation. (You can still increase horns per row as normal after the type transformation.)

Elementals can now self-transform into the appearance of any morph, but will still always be composed entirely of their associated element.

Made friendly occupant sex options the same as slave sex options (by adding the spitroast and doggy-style options), and you can now access their sex menu in their room/apartment even if they're in your party.

Slightly improved UI for reforging weapon damage types.

Jinxed clothing status effect now applies -5 to maximum aura, instead of -2 to physique and -2 to arcane.

Sex:

Fixed issue where changing positions in group sex would move the third/fourth partners into spectator slots.

Rough-pace NPCs can now use the 'Pussy-to-mouth' and 'Ass-to-mouth' orgasm options when fucking others in the doggy-style position.

Added 'double creampie' and 'double anal creampie' orgasm actions for group sex, which are available if there is a free pussy/asshole when orgasming inside your target's pussy/asshole.

Even if already occupied by an ongoing action, you can now switch into another penetration without having to use the 'Stop X' action first (so long as you have the necessary level of control). NPCs cannot do this, in order to give you a turn to react to their decision to stop an ongoing action.

Fixed issue with all NPCs losing arousal & lust from non-penis anal interactions, even when they didn't have a negative opinion of anal actions.

Fixed not being able to swap positions in group sex with dominant partners when a dom, and with submissive partners when a sub.

Spectators in sex will no longer have their ongoing self-actions reset when the active participants change position.

Added standard ongoing actions for tribbing (clit rubbing against partner's clit), along with a unique action for if your clit is prehensile. This action should be available in all positions in which groins are next to each other.

Added a 'slap face' action for all sex positions in which a dominant character's hands can reach the submissive target's face.

Added 'Submissive talk' action for eager-paced subs, a 'Degrading talk' action for rough-paced doms, and a 'Request rough sex' action for NPCs who want you to be rough with them.

Fixed 'Twintail pull', 'Ear pull', and 'Grab horns' actions sometimes being available in positions that made no sense.

Improved 'Stop penetrations' action to stop all penetrations that your target is engaged in (instead of just stopping penetrations between you and them), allowing you to stop their ongoing actions with characters other than yourself.

Bugs:

Typo fixes.

Non-unique NPCs (including offspring) will now drink Fetish Endowment potions if they like or love the 'Kink curious' fetish, or if they worship you.

Fixed missing dialogue when Takahashi transformed both you and your companion.

Fixed some dialogue with Elizabeth treating you as a chuuni even if you weren't one.

Fixed debug parser's XML test field still registering input as normal, which could cause the debug menu to be closed while typing.

Fixed bug where characters orgasming while wearing a dildo would cause cum to be pumped into the orifice being penetrated by said dildo.

Fixed some misleading descriptions when using the offspring map.

Fluid regeneration enchantments on clothing have had their increase/decrease amounts increased from 1/-1 to 250/-250.

Inventory tabs should no longer be clickable if their pages are empty.

Fixed numerous cases of names not parsing correctly.

Fixed lore inconsistency with Lilaya acting as though angels are unheard of.

Fixed not being able to remove crotch-boobs from bipeds via TF potions when crotch-boob setting was set to 'Taur only'.

Fixed crotch-boob options in the slime self-TF menu not being as expansive as the demon TF ones.

Fixed parsing error when cumming inside someone's vaginal urethra.

Critical hits in combat that end up missing will no longer grant you an arcane essence if you had the sadist (for dealing damage) or masochist (for receiving damage) fetish.

The rooms and halls in Lyssieth's palace now correctly have maids described as being present in the 'characters present' dialogue box.

Takahashi will no longer be willing to use a potion on your companion if they're a demon or elemental.

Fixed being able to have a threesome with a clone of your companion when visiting their apartment.

Fixed cloaca-contained anus still being able to be penetrated in sex even when it was blocked.

v0.3.2.6

Other:

Reduced chance of randomly-spawned clothing being enchanted from 25% negative, 50% none, 25% positive, to 20% negative, 60% none, 20% positive.

Minimum cum expulsion percentage has been reduced from 5% to 0%.

Suppressed 'no companions' error logging when loading a game.

If you have the age setting turned off in your content settings, non-unique characters will no longer have the 'menopause' status effect.

Ms. Cunningham offers you the chance to call her by her first name, 'Vanessa' when offering to help her. You can then switch between calling her Vanessa or Ms. Cunningham in her office's action menu.

Added all sex options that you have in slave/occupant rooms in Lilaya's house to the cahracters present menu, so you can have threesomes with your companion + elemental at any time.

NPCs will now lose 10 affection towards their partners if sex ends without being brought to orgasm, which is reduced to a loss of 5 affection if they orgasmed at least once, but still orgasmed less than they wanted.

Bugs:

Fixed several issues related to dirty clothing or clothing getting dirtied causing other identical (although non-dirty) clothing in your inventory to also become dirty.

Importing slaves no longer shows an icon on the map at the place where you exported them.

Fixed more issues related to NPC-on-NPC sex not incrementing tattoo counters.

Slaves in stocks who are not available for any penetration are now correctly marked as such, instead of being described as being available for oral.

Fixed named weapons losing their name after saving & loading.

Fixed issues with companions following you into areas when they should have stayed behind (such as in Lyssieth's palace and city hall's Bureau of Demographics).

Fixed some parsing errors in the new 'double creampie' orgasm action, and fixed the broken knotting orgasm description.

Fixed incorrect description for Witch's Dress.

v0.3.2.3 (bug fixes) Release

Sorry about how long it's taken me to get a release out since 0.3.2.2, and also that it's just a minor bug fix release; as I said in the previous two posts, I've been ill over these past three weeks, and have been having a lot of light-headedness and frequent bouts of vertigo, which has been making it difficult to concentrate on programming. Although I still feel a little dizzy now and then, I'm feeling a lot better than I was, and so the next release (which will be a preview release on SubscribeStar) should be out in about a week or so.

As always, you can also build these releases yourself from the public github:
https://github.com/Innoxia/liliths-throne-public/tree/dev (There's a build tutorial here.)

IMPORTANT: If you're building through github, you'll need to place the 'liliths-throne-public/res' folder in the same directory as the exported .jar. Also, only the dev branch is updated to 0.3.2.3 at the moment, so please build from that.

Self-cest offspring will now correctly have you listed as both their father and mother in the pregnnacy stats screen.

Fixed some incorrect formatting in the offspring map usage.

Fixed issue where using imported characters, or starting a new game after having already played on a different character, would produce 'error in conditional parsing' errors all over the place.

Fixed the 'Knocked up' dialogue in the library deleting response tabs.

Offspring now use the same clothing generation as muggers.

Fixed tiles in Demon Home taking 5 minutes to traverse instead of 2.

Fixed Ms Cunningham's pubic hair being a random colour.

Fixed issue with Ms. Cunningham finishing sex early, and thus losing 2 affection towards you.
