It's not a huge concern for me or anything, but when we will eventually be able to get actual scenes when returning to the Pleasure District, will we be able to run into Nijah again? It would be nice to be able to reconnect with her at some point. (But perhaps not, given how things went with Kiara.)
Yes, depending if you've met Nijah or not, will open up a whole additional path for her is the plan.

It would be cool to have an entry point into Nijah path for players who went with Adara in the prologue.

If I'm not mistaken you can still follow Adara's pathing even if you didn't go with her in the prologue.

Or alternatively If there is exclusive content on Nijah pathing- there should be exclusive content if you went with Adara as well.

Very potential. Wanted to do turn-based combat like this -which is really well done- in my game, but it's a lot of work! Cheers for making it work!

If you like it now, I have a feeling you're going to like it a lot more once the team finishes revamping it.
Not good when devs start remaking games so early. I hope this doesn't turn into another remake after remake circlejerk.

Meh, I doubt it's really a typical remake, though. It's pretty much just the combat system that's getting revamped, not the entire game or anything. True, there's also the recreating of artwork, but that's only because the previous artist isn't with Damned Studios anymore. I don't believe any of the art would've been getting redone like it is had that not happened. I don't see this as the typical reworking that a lot of games don't need. I guess we'll see for sure in the coming releases.

I think it is relevant to note that its primarily the combat system that is getting remade.

Its not like the entire game is getting re-hashed or something; the story beats and art is pretty much maintained.
They are doing a bit of work with updating some sprites; but that is close to finished.

New story, art, lore and horny content are all still in the pipeline. Praise Be! :WeSmart:

Can hardly talk about a "remake" in this stage of the game, just be fair and call it evolving :)
And be glad they are making things better before we are halfway the story and redoing things is much more drastic work.

Welcome to Novaras' first store... Friendly prices for all!

Hey guys!
So, we're super busy at the moment with the latest update, we know there are some concerns about the revamping of old content but we'll be the first to say, not to worry, we're just updating some old character models, some old scene art, and overhauling the UI/Combat.

We're fully determined the next update will have plenty of content and not just 'overhauled' stuff already seen :)
As part of this commitment, we thought we'd show you guys the first functional store that will be introduced into the next build!

-This shop SHOULD be able to sell you a variety of goods including:-
-Weapons and armor
-Various potions
-Contraceptives to avoid impregnating someone
-And more!

Plenty of other new features are planned, and you'll in the coming months be able to continue your quest in Parasite Black!
If you guys have any questions ask them below or over on the discord and we'll try get back to you as soon as we can!


If you're a patron thank you all for your support, we couldn't do it without you guys and we're gonna try find more ways to involve patrons directly as best as we can in some of the development process. :)


if you're not a patron, please consider supporting the project to help out, all funds currently go towards paying our staff and keeping the lights on, but we're keen to expand on other cool quality of life improvements to make the game even better for you guys!


With lots of love,
-The Damned Studios Team

Yes, that's it for the latest release. There is a little progress with Ves and a memory of parasite black's past and the colony/community of parasites, but most of the focus was Adara.

If we need to buy contraceptives to avoid impregnation is there going to be a realistic system where women will refuse sex if you don't have it until your relationship is at a certain point? Or is everyone just going to be horny enough to be fine with risky sex?

I mean, Adara already is coocoo for cock-cock, so there's that. But as far as others go, I would guess at least some of them will be more like you're suggesting.

given the corruptive nature of the Parasites and the little lore that was shared so far in that regard I'd expect that girls will grow ever more frantic by instinct to have "child makeing sex". So far I think only the black smith daugther let's you cum inside her unprotected and both her an Adara had a crush on the MC from before his time with the scouts

Do keep in mind, Arlena keeps a stash of morning after potions next to her bed which she utilizes after every session with MC.

The latest poll is out on a character re-design for inquistor tiers and above!

If you want to take part, become an inquisitor patron now!

Which she might forget to restock in the near future... my point is that all Love Interest right now are childhood friends of the MC and admitted to have a crush for him for several years.
The Whore from the Pleasure district, the "Heroine" and the Orc are the only "new" girls we have encountered.

News post:


News!
Hey guys,
Lots of working going on at the moment, so we thought we'd share with you not only the usual 'lewd' teaser but show you our progress on addressing some of the more technical issues of the game.
These aren't the only issues we're working on, we're desperately trying not only to add new content but improve the inconsistencies between the older art styles and we hope this may be one of our biggest updates yet with a bit of luck!
As you know, a lot of players struggled with knowing what to do next/where to go during quests, so below is a WIP of the quest-log which will make it easier to follow what quest you're currently on and provide hints on where to go next as well as managed other quests you may have simultaneously. :)


Another one of the other most major complaints we've had has always been that the combat system was cluttered and bulky/awkward.
Below is a WIP of the revamped combat, as you can see, the screen is a lot less busy and it should flow a lot smoother than it ever has before.
It might look very similar to the old combat, but it's coded at the front and back ends much better, and there's still a ton of work to be done with it.

And finally, users mentioned not necessarily knowing what equipment/items they had, and that the inventory menu in game was very primitive, as you can see, we've been making leaps and bounds with this one, which should be making all your inventory carrying needs much easier to manage. :)

We're also working on both an inventory and time tracker (no visuals to show there yet though!)
As usual, we'd like to thank everyone currently supporting the project or anyone considering support the project, only with your generous support can we continue to hopefully make what we feel will be an awesome game!
-The Damned Studios Team

...Hmm...I think I forgot something...
Oh yeah!

I'm quite the outdoorsman myself y'know...! Wait...not THAT kind of outdoorsman!
