New post on the blog... still not there yet.

Hello again,

Once again I underestimated how long it takes to write content, and as a result I don't quite have version 0.4 ready for release tonight. I've got all of the dialogue for the places in Elis done, and I've got the framework and some of the writing for the Meraxis & demonic centaur content pretty much ready, but I'm going to need a little longer in which to get that finished off.

I'll make another post on Tuesday night, by which time I'll either have the release ready or be in a state where I can spend an extra day or two getting placeholders roughly filled out. No matter if it ends up having placeholder content in it or not, I'll definitely have this version released by this time next week (hopefully before).

Although I've tried my best not to apologise in the recent progress report posts, I am sorry for how long this is taking me to get to released!

It is because it gives control over you what you what, otherwise i would be playing a VN, where the characters the way the author means them to.
That's what a binary game is.
In this case it is a sandbox game where the player has control how the world works, which species appear, which types of bodies appear and so on.
...okay? but the unique aspects of the game, I.E. the unique characters, are not something you control. the author (Inno) has written them to mean what they are to her. Name me one sandbox game where you can just freely edit the apperence, personalities of unique NPC and you can just do literally anything you want to them.

Listen, I think you're looking at this the wrong way. You dont want to interact with characters, you want dress up dolls that obey your every command. Well, that what the randomly generated NPCS are for. They're not unique in any way, they have no personalities other than I love you or I hate you, but you can do anything you want to them. Thats what they're there for. The unique NPCs are exempt from this. No matter what settings you put on they do not change because they exist as how the author intended them to be. If you dont like certain npcs, dont interact with them. And if you think Amber is the only one you cant just transform to however you want, I have some bad news for you... thats how all the unique npcs are.

Okay seriously, what's with Inno and not releasing on time? How about just say it'll be ready sometime and you're working on it and maybe give progress reports instead of constantly delaying which leads to people giving up on the game?

The 0.4 we'd supposedly get next week will probably be just the bare bones of whatever Inno has promised, and she'll then take forever to add more contents to it by (again, supposedly) weekly patches. I'm still thinking about the "expanding house permit" at the Town Hall.
Considering how long it took her to make 0.4, if we're lucky enough, we might be able to get a glimpse of 1.0 on our deathbed.

Quick question, is the vibration enchantment actually functioning with the bras and stuff now? I just tried to do that and it didn't pop up.

If anybody doesn't know how to make it pop up naturally, I found a work around.

If you save the enchantment of vibrating panties, you can copy and paste that line of code to another enchantment save. If you do this, I would recommend only doing it to clothes that should have been given access to it in v0.3.20.

Is there an easier way to sell an inventory full of loot?
I got most of my cash early on just by stealing from people who attack me, but there's like a 1-second delay where the UIhas to reload after you sell each item.

If I could highlight multiple items at once and hit sell-all, or designate items as vender-trash, it'd be a lot easier.

Edit: also, multiple skills say that they only crit on the first usage, but cannot be used three times in one turn.
Is this intended behaviour? Do you get more AP later somehow?
The inventory is really, really bad. It's like they ripped off Terraria, but did it worse, and the inventory is widely agreed to be the worst part of Terarria.

The best option is to edit your save file or use an auto-clicker that lets you record macros. But this game *really* doesn't handle more than 20 inputs a second well, so make sure you use a slow one.

The only surprise there is that we got blog post so early.

Oh hey, you must be...

You must be new here. Welcome. You get to sit in hell with the rest of us now.
I was going to make that joke, dammit...

Oh yeah, I've been saying it all along. Based on what Inno is saying, don't expect much more than the city map (with placeholder text, because we know that'll happen again), the one story fight to enter the city, and the standard filler encounters (likely also with placeholder text).

We *might* get a little more story content than that, maybe. Like, just to wrap up that quest without doing anything beyond letting you into the city. But I gotta say, I'm really waiting to see how incredibly disjointed it's going to be from the previous quest.

Quick Ninja Edit: I didn't actually read the dev post until now. I think I nailed it on the placeholder jabs. That wasn't intentional, I just know how this game goes, we always get a ton of placeholder content.

Is anyone keeping a running count of how many times 0.4 has been delayed?
There was someone keeping track of it, but after 9 months they got bored and stopped. I think it's in the game reviews up dated to about, like, four months ago.

Honestly with how slow story goes i'm mostly hyped for feral content to be added and see how it affects builds, specially considering some items like the demonstones already have in their description the "can be used by ferals" tag.

Btw i wonder if the "Human Liberation Front" thing that was hinted at will become a way to introduce real tech items from outside Lilith's Realm instead of the Arcane Pea-Shooters? like that REAL GUN that deals over 3.000 damage but "Balanced" maybe?

Considering feral content hasn't been mentioned in months, I wouldn't expect it yet. In fact, it was only really mentioned because they wanted feral content in the random filler encounters, but that also hasn't been mentioned in like 6+ months now.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if feral content has been cut entirely, or completely forgotten about. Unless a contributor makes it works. That seems more likely lol

So I don't know shit about coding, but I've been screwing around with it trying to see what I can tweak to make the game more personally tailored to my tastes and I can not for the life of me figure out how to get characters to stop spawning with certain personality traits and fetishes. Can anyone offer some advice?
I'd start with DominionAlleywayAttacker.java. The constructor sets up the fetishes and traits. Traits are easier: there is a call to Main.game.getCharacterUtils().setHistoryAndPersonality. You can dig around in there, or just ignore whatever it does, and after it sets up the traits, just do clearTraits() and addPersonalityTrait.

Fetishes goes to a more complicated Main.game.getCharacterUtils().addFetishes(this); but you can use the same strategy of clearing whatever was added, and adding you want instead.

Dude hope that's not the case, was hyped for that, but guess one way to find out easy is during next update (whenever the hell it arrives) check if Demonstone still has that "works on feral" tag, if it doesn't then i'll take it as the indirect "there's no feral content coming" announcement.

From what I dimly remember of long-ago Inno statements, the answer goes something like: publicly setting deadlines, realistic or not, is some sort of self-motivation prop, which is why Inno clings to still doing it even though it just makes half the playerbase super angry all the time.

However, it seems to have completely stopped working or even become actively counterproductive, possibly because of half the playerbase being super angry all the time. Despite this, Inno will not or cannot let go and stop doing it and keep their personal deadlines private, because that would negate the benefits of public deadlines (that are no longer working anyway).

I'm not somebody who bothers getting super angry about porn games, hell I still play Cloud Meadow a couple times a year, it's cute so whatever. But LT's situation does often seem particularly dysfunctional now, and it's kind of saddening compared to when I first discovered the game and people were excited about it and it came across as a more customizable CoC.

Name me one sandbox game where you can just freely edit the apperence, personalities of unique NPC and you can just do literally anything you want to them.
Degrees of Lewdity is probably the closest. You can alter the gender of every unique. Some have differing personalities depending on how you interact with them, but I think that's true of some characters in this game too(Helena becomes submissive or dominant depending on how you do her romance for example).

Race changes wouldn't make sense for a lot of things.(No dogmorphs playing the role of harpy queen for example) But I'd say there's pretty much no reason for most uniques currently to have set genders either. The Harpies are really the only ones I can think of based on how their society is setup. Does it matter if Roxy is male or female given her personality is basically "I want an oral sex slave"? What really changes if the slime queen is a slime king? Or if Brax started as a woman?

Also, fetish(The part thats actually editable in this game) != personality(The part that isn't). Though a selection of characters in game are currently "I am x fetish" instead of an actual personality(roxy/vicky/slime queen), that part's entirely on the writer. A fetish can have an influence someone's personality but it doesn't need to either; there's an entire trope about domineering people secretly being submissive in bed for example.

With all that said, this definitely isn't something to be changed now. Inno already has trouble releasing something promised for a year now as being the "next update".
