Okay I come here to post meme reviews to make people have a nose exhaling quasi-giggle but this is just fucking stupid now.
There has been radio silence from Innoxia since late november, and the last update was on fucking september.

Surprise, surprise, the subscribestar is still open. At what point does a game just become a scam?
I understand developing a game by yourself is hard, and I get it that the larger the game becomes, more and more time it takes to develop. But at this point I'd be okay with another "hey guys, I'm dead but I'm fine" post.
Another such post would let one know Innoxia is around but without any update, one may as well make guesses as to what's even going on. If another update is still being made, it'd be nice but even that can be a let down if it's nothing even story related that keeps the plot going.

Is there really no other competent developer team who's gonna make a competition to this game? it's seriously such a low-hanging fruit where the supply-demand is clear and just a single appearance of an alternative option would quickly led everyone to disband this sinking ship
Strive for Power (actually 100% finished), Strive Conquest (alpha sequel, getting semi-regular updates still), CoC1 (officially 'complete' despite having no ending and abandoned for the sequel, modders keeping it alive), TiTS (alpha, still getting updates), Masters of Raana (alpha, no non-Human characters, still getting updates), Fort of Chains (another 'completed' game that has no ending and was abandoned, don't know if modders are trying to keep it alive), No Haven (uses an obnoxiously old engine that requires special software, but is finally being converted to Twine after being promised for years; updates so slow most people consider it a scam at this point.)

There are probably some other similar games I've forgotten, but those are the standouts I've tried. While not quite the same genre I'd also recommend Portal of Phereon all day. It's a sandbox RPG with monstergirls, lots of customization, has actual endings, and is very close to being 100% complete.

Not exactly. The dev has the power to control the level of complexity of his game, keeping things within a scope that one person alone can accomplish.

The thing is that they're very often driven by the audience/supporters desire for more things, more complexity, more fetishes and systems, and this all increases the scope of the game drastically.

It's a basic skill that a solo dev must have to simply know how to say their audience: "No, I'm not going to add this complex system, I'm not going to add 30 more fetishes because I can't write it all, I need to think about keeping things handleable so I can one day finish this game."

I actually just finished a Strive for Power playthrough 3 weeks ago lol, and Portal of Phereon is also something i've played repeatedly and enjoyed. They're indeed quite similar but i can say for sure that they don't scratch the same itch that LT mechanics does...

My parallels would be something like.. if i want to scratch my itch about playing breeding season, i'll go play Breeders of Nephelym or Breeding Farm or ..Cloud Meadow (*sigh)

But if want to scratch my itch of playing Lilith's Throne, there's no other game that is actually a direct competition or at least spiritual successor to it currently

Why does it always have to be non-human? :cautious:

I know the disclaimer says gore/extreme violence will never be added, which is fine, but what about soft amputee?
no blood, no gore, no violence, no pain. just transform PC/NPC to slime, open transform menu and set limbs to none then switch them back to non-slime

Unfortunately changing the body plan to handle missing parts is likely to wreck the sex engine, it barely works well enough as it is and taking away options is likely to make it much worse.

What? CoC1 does have endings, unless im going insane you could fight the final boss and stuff, now there are a lot of loose story threads but the game does have endings
As in without mods? Guess I didn't play the absolute final version then, though the game's pointlessly annoying RNG grind may have drove me off before I got there.

Definitely echo recommendation of Portals of Phereon, which is an honest-to-Bob actual (and difficult) game rather than fluf between jacking/jilling content. Actually more of the former than latter, for that matter. Hugely underrated considering the wealth of its mechanics, doesn't hurt that Syvaron is actually a pretty good artist with unique style as well.

Free Cities with the Mod That Shall Not Be Named™ if you liked the proto-management elements in this. Also highly interesting from the perspective of AI tools' impact on games, considering it supports StableDiffusion now. The future is here, watch it emerge in real time, heh.

Java 101 and Basic Good Programming Practices courses if you got your entertainment just from looking at the source code.

so last time I played a long time ago you could just transformative enchant your physique and arcane to the max permanently, how does one increase it in the current version now that I only see temporal buffs in potions
