Java Lilith's Throne [v0.4.9.9] [Innoxia]

[GuiltyElation]

Not a competition by any means mind you, but even then dev time is slow/developed at a glacial pace.

Development is getting fucking ridiculous. So much potential, and it's so brutally untapped.

I haven't spent that much time looking through the codebase especially compared to some people here, but it really felt like mountains on mountains of tech debt.

I legitimately believe at this point it's some cycle of

Shitty hack to push out content -> people get angry next update takes longer because of suboptimal code -> shittier hack -> etc

Not saying "hehe let's rewrite it in Rust!!", but the hole Inno dug herself into might be too deep at this point

Greetings guys, one questions, do you know how can I increase my room for items? Seem really limited for me, I just started this game so idk too much, and I tried using the search tool up here but no lucky, thanks in advance.

There's no way to increase your inventory capacity in vanilla and I was unable to get the mod by Phobos functioning despite following his instructions. On the flip side, you can make your slaves and elemental carry stuff for you.

I just downloaded the new version and looked for the sake of interest. Right now it works like this: give any npc the name "Inventory 1" without parentheses. Use item Inventory 1. Instructions for using the item for the first time do not appear in this version.
It works like remote access to someone else's inventory. In order to transfer someone else's inventory to another game, you need to export this npc and import it in the city hall, in other places of the import, the inventory of the npc will not be saved. There is a mod "Black Hole" or something like that, which will transfer this character to another location. Can call back a character through the menu of slaves, settle in a free room.

There still are solutions to this. What frustrates me is not how long it takes to update the game. I wouldn't care if the update took 4 months if that meant quality and transparency during the development period. I've spoken to some of the contributors on Discord (kill me I know) and they've said the biggest issue is that the older code from when Inno was less experienced was jumbled spaghetti. But that's still fixable - code can be re-written, plenty of indie games have done it before. Hell, even a partial, simplified re-make using the game's codes and assets would do it justice at this point. But right now, it's literal stagnation on all fronts, besides the non-engaging storyline and spamming of greater furry characters that much of the community couldn't even interact with because they'd rather not do furry stuff.

How do you open the game I haven't seen anything labeled "LT.exe" or "LilithsThrone.jar" only Launcher class file I've tried using that but it asks how I want to open it and no matter what I use nothing happens and there's nothing in any of the folders that looks like it will lead me to the game. I tried using java too but just says error in the following switches if I use Launcher class file "lt_0.4.7.5_pr\lt_0.4.7.5_pr\com\lilithsthrone\Launcher.class" and if I use lt_0.4.7.5_pr zip file or lt_0.4.7.5_pr.jar zip file the same error also the error says unable to install Java but I already installed it and its the latest version.

I go to the blog and download the EXE version from there.

I'm trying to figure out how to get anything done in Rust. Basic stuff like the random number generator requires layers of dependencies and the whole build can break if one thing fails to download.

Yes, I'm the guy from the subreddit that couldn't complete chapter two of the Rust book. Laugh it up.

Why not choose another platform?

Why not choose another platform?

If you mean another programming language besides Rust, I have. I happily use Python and C for most of my needs and am currently making a prototype game in Godot. If you mean asking somewhere besides Reddit, I have. DIscord servers, Rocket chats, Youtube channels, even Stack overflow. Same results.

 

[DiGrave88]

People, tell me, how can I run the game in the browser?

 

[mrme]

You don't, it's a Java game not a Javascript game - two completely different things

man, after fiddling 15 minutes with the search and trying to fix the jni and java error i get whenever im trying to run that, i am dropping it for now and try again tomorrow, kinda late here for me :/

is it even still the same problem, that the jar is looking for an older java version, or am i even too dumb right now to find the answer in the search?

 

[Mosarella]

Any place to download exports besides the discord?

A number of testers, myself included, have been haunted by ghost dildos ever since version 2 of the beta. Players and NPCs alike spontaneously sprouted silicon genitals. To make things worse the maintainers are unable to replicate the bug on their end. Investigation is ongoing to exorcise these phantom phalli.

If you are unable to use the orifice, try transforming it via potions. If that fails, the only alternative is to amputate then grow a new vagina.

I noticed this, but in addition all my slaves have stopped existing in the slave management menu, but their icons are still in the room where they were. Can't speak to them either.

It is a fairly normal assessment at this point, but tech deck for porn games has to be the worst for keeping a straight face.

 

[Virgin Girl]

any guide for the game ?

 

[Lawrance]

Are you sure about that? I'm using EndevourOS (Arch based) and combing open-jdk with open-jfx got the game running. For Ubuntu and Mint (Debian based) it's a similar affair.

If you haven't yet, check if Fedora has a similar package with dnf search open-jfk to find the appropriate. Then install the version that matches your jdk. Or you can continue to use the Oracle's Java. Nothing's wrong with that.

The game not running from GUI could be remedied by adjusting the application settings to run java -jar when you click .jar files, though the exact method is dependent on which desktop (or spin as Fedora puts it) you're using.

Do you mind sharing cause I'm trying to get this running on my EndevourOS machine and I'm at my wits end on that front.

I still think you got fucked by asking people in those places. I can't imagine the people you spoke to, but I'm guessing they're unhelpful. From what I've seen, C is the way to go. I won't be waiting to try jank though, I'll just wait another few years before seeing if it's actually playable.

 

[HONK666]

By the way, I'm wondering if marriage will be added to the game, who knows?

 

[Lady Luck]

Eh, if I recall a newer public version was meant to go live later today, but as to if that'll happen is up to RNG gods.

may RNGesus bless us

I'm wagering my nipples the update will be delayed today, if we even get any new information at all.
