No, you are right. It appears something went wrong when staff updated the links, I'll notify them. Here's the right links for you!
They're still working on the next update, of which I dropped some info here. From the looks of things, they seem to be on Patch 15 of the internal testing for that update, though I haven't played any of the WIP versions and don't regularly check in on what they're up to. Apart from the stuff I mentioned before, it seems they're mostly working on bugfixes and balance issues, with one significant new feature. I seem to recall hearing them mention some stuff about this before, but I don't know the full details. I think it's related to some new victory/loss conditions and seemingly some other details that could dramatically affect the game structure. With that in mind, it might actually be a significant delay before the next update is both feature-complete and with enough bugfixes that they feel comfortable releasing it.
Not by default, no. However, I'm not sure if something generic like genie wishes can be used to transform yourself... I know you can spawn a monster with a wish, but I don't know if "become succubus" works. But most monsters don't have a unique way to turn into them aside from encountering them as an enemy.
If you didn't know already usually all monsters that are linked to some kind of room or set piece have the ability to transform you. For example, even looking at the moon and surrendering can transform you.
Dang, the Lady sounds like it'll be hell to implement into the game.
Not including the ones you mentioned, it looks like 6, which I listed in the post I linked at the beginning of that post. Though there may be more by the time the update comes out.
The devs specifically don't want to make the Discord too public. Apparently it's already more crowded than what they're comfortable with.
I really like this idea, I wish more people would share their thoughts like this. This hive mind type kinda reminds me of Unity from Rick and Morty. I'm definitely not opposed to seeing that sort of vomit control thing she did in the series.
Don't the darkslaves kindaaaaa do that? When they interact with a downed human it describes that they go in for a kiss and pour dark energy into them through the mouth. But yeah that definitely isn't close to a hive mind.
Well, conceptually it is a sort of hive mind as it's said that their souls are replaced completely by the darkness, which is implied to have a singular will. But there are a lot of monsters in this game that are technically hive-minded, even if they act independently. I was mostly going for one where "literally a single thought shared across all of them" is the sole theme, and reflected in their gameplay.
There's already so much good stuff here that at this point I don't really care what gets added as long as new stuff does keep getting added.
I'm with you there. I mean honestly, even if some enemies are just conceptually reskins of others I would love to see it.
