Downloaded this today. So far it's been great. The only complaint I have is that Nijah wasn't there to make good on her promise when I came back ;)

Hey guys, been a while since the last post discussing the progress of the latest update.
We've just play-tested a rough cut of one of the routes you can pursue to handle the quest, (co-incidentally the shortest route - I'll leave that up to your imagination what that means!) But this quest is the most varied yet, with choices that will alter your experience depending on what you pick.

But we're still gathering up a lot of the art, this update will hopefully have more lewd scenes than any of ous previous updates to date, and is so far shaping up well.

We're also nearly done with our revamp work, not much left of that to do and soon you'll be able to get involved and vote on Kiara's new design(s) etc with some polls!

A lot of the mechanics are still WIP but we're working hard to implement them as soon as we can!
There's a lot we'd love to show you, but for now, things are still very deep in production to try get this thing out as quickly and as high quality as possible.

If you guys have any questions about anything, ask them below in the comments or over on the discord and someone will get back to you ASAP!

Thank you for your continued support so far, it does mean a great deal to us.

She did originally.
The artist at the time who we comissioned to do that work, configured a already pre-existing artists work which we weren't aware of till it was in the game and for obvious reasons, we've had to remove it and replace it with something original.
(The artist in question no longer works on the time).

First of all: very nice game this one!

Second of all: I'm missing two scenes from the gallery, scene number 5 (counting from left to right), and scene 22. Anyone know how to get those?

Alderian News!
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to touch base and let you know progress is going really well. Over the new few updates, you can expect in (very) short order what we hope will be leaps and bounds in quality for the game, you'll see not only a ton of new lewd content, but also a heavy amount of the revamp work done, new locations and other QOL and aesthetic improvements.
Some have already had a small teaser of our latest unfinished quest, but we're super excited to show you guys what's coming.
First, before talking about the new, let's talk a bit about the old.
Some of the earliest feedback we received was that both the MC model and Markus' in the prologue was simply put, not up to the standards of the other art in-game, and their leap forward post parasite especially jarring.
As such, we've completely revamped these older character models and they'll added in shortly.



Other characters are still being reworked AND new ones added.

The work above was from our new character artist Laneon, who is taking over from Eclipse will be shortly leaving us to follow work commitments elsewhere. We're super thrilled to be working with Laneon and we've also hired on ANOTHER artist, Moisesf whose art we think is a solid fit for the game!


(An example of our other new artist, Moisesf's latest work, an in-game location you'll soon get to visit!)

Tech state:
The game while technically improving every month is still missing some major features, we're working as hard as we can to improve vital mechanics like combat as well as integrate important new ones like pregnancy, stats etc.
The android build should also now be stable and playable with the latest build.
We're working as fast as we can to achieve stable save compatibility.

Interesting in joining the project?:
We're currently in the middle of seeking out another coder for the project, if you're skilled in python coding, drop one of us a message in the discord here and we'll see if you're a good fit!

Give me the lewd damn it!:
Ah yes, if you scrolled passed all of the above just to get to this...I salute you. (Though srs, please do read it).
It's been a long wait since we showed anything particularly 'spicy', but we think you guy have waited long enough. Sadly, this one is a little too spicy to show on Patreon! Check the Patron only chat of the discord to see what's really going on!


As always, we'd like to thank everyone who is supporting us or is considering supporting us,
without your generous support, none of this would be possible.
So, thank you.
-The Damned Studios Team

PARASITE BLACK V0.136 TEST BUILD
Hey guys! This is the latest build including a PARTIAL part of Nijah's quest line can now be played and completed! None of the lewd content has yet been added, our animator and artist(s) are still working on the many scenes, but please, we hope you enjoy our rough cut of the quest and give us any feedback on bugs or anything you want!
We've also worked hard to continue to improve technical aspects of the game as usual, there's still a long way to go but we're making headway! See the changelog for more details on our progress with this front.

Please read: As part of our pledge to update you guys monthly, the new Nijah quest is still VERY much a WIP, with a lot of art missing, alt routes missing and polish in general - If you want the full experience of this quest properly, wait for the next build. Please keep this in mind while playing part of the new quest - There are no lewd scenes yet added!

As always, thank you all for your support so far! It means the world to us! We hope you enjoy!

CHANGELOG:
Engine: - Fix to android (.apk) builds. They now work. Again.
Content: - New Nijah character sprite. - A new quest revolving around Nijah (Damzel in Diztrezz) that you can begin if you visit pleasure district after completing From Another World. Might want to daily-revisit ~twice or so for the event to fire.
Note: this is a first not-quite-linear quest we've got. Bring feedback if anything borks up.
- The Black Diamond location. Currently only visited temporarily for the duration of Damzel in Diztrezz quest, will be re-visitable once the quest is finalized & missing assets acquired.
- Three new enemy types: a bandit, a thug, a guard. Currently only used within Damzel in Diztrezz quest.
- Nijah house & some coding scaffolding for her TBA lewd content that is unlocked post ^ quest.
- Applied a quick & dirty visual tweak to sewers battle map.
We'll most likely change it further down the line. Till then, boosted brightness/contrast should do.
- Added a country-ish street battle map, currently used in Damzel in Diztrezz quest.
- Markus added as a character that you can speak to in his house. Not much there for now, just a consistency's sake.
- Added a small cozy system playing a random sound from an SFX library. Currently only used for door creaks around the city.
Will come full force when we get to combat sounds. - Added more 'glowing lights' VFX to locations. Think we've covered all of them.
Interface:
- You can now select an enemy in party battle instead of hovering about. Will come in play when there's need to hover over their status effects for tooltips.
- You can toggle narrative auto-forward in the options menu. This Ancient Technology was scrapped along with the original Renpy UI months back, but it was never forgotten.
- Small tweaks to misaligned text on some ui-s.
- Fancied up interactables' buttons all over the place. (The circles with icons in) Gameplay tweaks:
- Made it so that the player can't hunt demorai at daytime anymore.
- You cannot rest when the narrative screen is shown anymore.
- As per feedback, changed sewer quest (High Fashion) to only be trigger-able after completing From Another World.
- As per feedback, fixed Shani's name dialogue bit so that you can't annoy her about it indefinitely.

The information above is slightly inaccurate, we're on 0.137 I just need to find out what other small changes exact have been added. Lewd stuff is to come with next release at the end of the month (along with more content in general).
