Blog 148 - 150
Hello all and welcome to another blog post!
To begin with, let's talk about the 0.17 release of Claire's Quest, which is now out for all patrons!
We are currently on 0.17.2, and we've found a couple of bugs in 0.17, some already patched out, others pending. We are planning on a big "fixer" patch for 0.17.3, and if that's stable, it should be safe to bring in additional areas of Rathpike in 0.17.4!
By the time of the public release, we expect to have all of Rathpike's former areas restored and overhauled, a mostly bug-free version, and numerous new content, including the Shieldmaiden Questline in earnest.
Our handy dandy sprite artist, Arsministrator, is working overtime to ensure the overhaul has all the assets it needs, and the newly-unveiled Rathpike, and indeed, all of the overhauled game of Claire's Quest in terms of map assets, are the result of his constant slogging, so kudos to his efforts!
We're still missing a couple of key assets, but not enough that it would be super detrimental. And, we should be able to get them out on time for their respective patch updates and content anyway.
The focus for July and August will be very much on Claire's Quest, getting Rathpike up fully, and expanding all questlines across the board.
Patrons can expect the art packs to reach them soon! Also, we're going to start rolling out patron-only character concept previews to introduce new female characters in Claire's Quest that play a big role in the game before their debut!
Anyway, that' s all for now - stay tuned for more news!

Introducing... Isobelle!
Hello patrons and welcome to an exclusive sneak peek of a new character we're introducing into Claire's Quest - Isobelle!
Isobelle is part of the Breeder questline in Chemont Town, and one of the three characters Claire can hire to work in her personal ranch. She comes with a massive black stallion, Thunder, who was a retired racehorse that was purchased for her as a gift by her opulent father.
Hailing from a rich plutocratic family in Valos, Isobelle wanted for nothing, and adored her pet stallion, brushing and grooming him everyday. One day, that all came crashing down when she was sent to an arranged marriage meeting with a wealthy prospective candidate, a spoiled plutocrat who hated horses and, indeed, animals in general.
Though dismayed, Isobelle was further shocked to find out that Thunder would not only not be going to her new husband's home with her, but rather, sold to pay for her dowry.
As a result, Isobelle grabbed Thunder's reins, and galloped away to freedom, turning her back on her family and on her fiancee.
She escaped to Chemont, but, due to her privileged upbringing, she's had little to no luck finding work that can support her and Thunder. This is where Claire comes in, offering to room both Thunder and Isobelle... for a price.
Of the three breeders Claire can train, Isobelle is the first that will be available - and the hardest, as she starts with the lowest sum of Libido.
Speaking of Libido, let's talk about the ranch's training mechanics for a bit!
Each breeder can participate in three different scenes, and each scene has two variations: untrained (where Claire is teaching them the ropes), and trained (where they've succumbed to lust under Claire's encouragement).
Scenes require
Stamina; each time a breeder participates in a scene, their Stamina is drained, and Claire will need to give them time to rest before they can work again (duration is based off counting the number of steps Claire takes; a set number of steps will refresh the breeder's stamina fully.) A special item, the Stimulant, can immediately restore a breeder's Stamina.
The more difficult the scene to unlock, the greater the rewards and profits Claire can reap.
Each scene is tied to the breeder's
Libido, which is raised every time they participate in a scene, or with the use of the Aphrodisiac item. The requirements are:
-
Untrained Blowjob / 0 Libido Required / +1 Libido Each Time / Low-Grade Reward
--
Trained Blowjob / 2 Libido Required / +2 Libido Each Time / Middle-Grade Reward
---
Untrained Penetration / 6 Libido Required / +3 Libido Each Time / Middle-Grade Reward
----
Trained Penetration / 12 Libido Required / +4 Libido Each Time / High-Grade Reward
-----
Untrained Anal Penetration / 20 Libido Required / +5 Libido Each Time / High-Grade Reward / Requires Lubricant (item)
------
Trained Anal Penetration / 30 Libido Required / +6 Libido Each Time / Top-Grade Reward / Requires Lubricant (item)
Once the breeder reaches 50 Libido, Claire can buy an item called the Beastslut Outfit, and give it to them. Once this happens, the breeder is irreversibly "broken in", or fully-trained, and their portrait, sprite, and scenes will all change to reflect this new state of lust. Like so...!
As a bonus, they will also no longer require the use of the Lubricant item for anal scenes, and will have increased Stamina. This also unlocks an additional scene, the "Cum Bath", which only Beastslut-level breeders can participate in.
Isobelle's starting Libido is determined by the dialogue choice Claire uses after meeting her once Breeding Papers II have been acquired from the Stables.
From there, she will be the first breeder we will work on making available to Claire to train!
And that's all for now - stay tuned for additional updates and bonus artwork!
