Not really an update, more of a progress report:

Got a lot done on this over the last couple of days. Added some new story driven content, as well as some new naughtyness. REALLY happy with the progress made today. I just put up a test build for that level Patreons over there. For everyone else, I should have a new build of the game up to the public in about a week. Goal is to release late on the 27th, then have any reported bugs resolved by the 29th before jumping into the next build.

Game progression is coming along very nicely. We're down to nine more major plot driven scenes to resolve the main narrative. Goal will be to have that all taken care of over the next 5-6 builds.

Once the main narrative of the game is done though, there's still a LOT to do. Some time in the next few weeks, I plan to create a Patreon only poll concerning some of the side stories in the game (Who was the body on the shore? What REALLY happened to the pastor? Who were the original inhabitants of Wanton Cove? What drew Tom to Wanton Cove in the first place? What happened to Mr Jackobson? And more!) to decide which side stories people would like to see explored first. I know I have my preferences on which stories to explore in which order, but I confess that I'm excited to see which stories are most important to the players!

New version of the game is up for anyone who is interested. I opted to include a sample of the writing within the game just to give people a little taste of what you can expect within the game and hopefully coax a few more of you to actually download the game to take a look.

Enjoy!

Excerpt:

""
Captain Steiner meets my eyes. He's clearly rattled by whatever is in the alley, "Hope you have a stronger stomach than the rest of us." His tone is distant, like he's disassociating himself from whatever they found.

"Show me the way," I say. I can already smell the coppery scent of blood on the air.

Captain Steiner nods, then waves for me to follow.

The alley is dark, and narrow, not quite wide enough to drive an automobile down. The only light I can see down the damp corridor between the two warehouses is coming from a couple of flashlights a short distance ahead.

Without really thinking about it, I pull my flashlight and thumb it on, lighting the way.

When I see a hint of blood lazily running from down the alley, pooling in a puddle a couple of paces ahead, I make a point of stepping around it.

"Must be a lot of blood?" I make it half question, half statement. Captain Steiner turns his head to meet my eyes. I'd swear that he's three shades lighter than when we entered the alley. He doesn't say anything as he continues towards the crime scene.

As we near the crime scene, the blood on the ground has become so abundant that it's impossible not to step in it as we approach. //Just how many victims are there?//

I begin to slow, an uneasy feeling settling over me, as if my skin doesn't fit quite right. My eyes travel towards where the other officer's flashlights are pointed.

There are strange symbols, painted in broad red swaths of color along the walls. It takes me a few seconds to realize that it's blood.

I don't know how long I stood there, looking at the symbols, but I became aware of Captain Steiner looking at me expectantly, as if anticipating me saying something.

I take a deep breath and force myself to direct my flashlight to the one place that everyone seems to be avoiding looking, the middle of the alley between the two murals of blood.

For several heartbeats, it's as if my mind can't quite acknowledge what I'm looking at.

Laying in the middle of a small sea of blood is a porcelain white body, an almost startling contrast with the crimson that surrounds it.

Watching where I step, my heart roaring in my ears, I move slowly closer to the scene.

It quickly becomes obvious that this is no ordinary body. Some distant part of my mind tells me that I'm looking at multiple victims, a patchwork of body parts all sewn together to create this horrible, beautiful, abomination before me.

I fight down the bile at the back of my throat and force myself to //really// look at the body. It looks like most of the victims were female, possibly with a single male victim.

\

This is a game that takes place within the Cthulhu Mythos. There are elements in this story which are not appropriate for children. Some of the content is erotic, or even pornographic in nature, though much of it is avoidable within the game if you watch for it.

Anyone interested in trying the game out, feel free to download the free version of the game. If you like it and are able, you're welcome to pledge a little something if you want to show a little extra support. Patrons gain access to a Cheat Menu within the game that allows you to adjust character stats, as well as Patreon only polls.

Since the Inheritance thread was pulled down and I never received any kind of explanation, I figured I'd share this here. Will likely try to post a new thread for Inheritance later if time permits.

Hope that you guys enjoy this game.

"After the passing of your estranged Great Uncle, you're surprised to find yourself listed as the sole heir to his estate. With all the legal unpleasantness out of the way, you're now on your way to your new home.

Not sure what to expect when you arrive, you dont know if you're going to sell the mansion or live there, but once you step inside your entire world changes when you are suddenly faced with the fact that you now own two slave girls.

What do you do with them? Do you follow in your Great Uncle's footsteps and use them for your own pleasure? Do you treat them like servants? Or do you nurture a relationship with them that just might blossom into something more, . . ."

This game has two versions, a Patreon build, and a Public build. The public build is one version behind the Patreon version.

The game has been in development behind the scenes since December of this last year while we have worked on it a little bit at a time. It is now entering a more active stage of development and we hope to start making regular releases to the game very soon.

Hope that you all enjoy the new build!

The Patreon Version can be found here:


The Public (Free) Version can be found here:


NOTE: This is just one of two projects being worked on by my team right now, a small pledge allows you access to both projects. The other project is seeing a regular release, every two to three weeks a new build comes out.

New build of The Allure of Wanton Cove is up!

This build brings us 4k words of new content, new art, and the long awaited answer to what really happened to Tom, . . .

The Patreon and Public versions of the game are the same with the exception of the Patreon build having a Cheat Menu that will allow you to adjust Taint, Mutation, Madness, Depravity, Money, Stats, and even virginity status at will.

For the free version of the game, I have provided more than one link as some people seem to have an aversion to Patreon for some odd reason. The additional links should give additional options for those who want them.

Where does this build end?
I am stuck at day 7 when there is an repeating* (bug?) scene in your room at inn:

My head is filled with thoughts of the encounter I overheard between Aaron and Tanya this morning. I need to speak to Tanya in privte to learn more.

Reluctantly, I move towards the bed.

Continue.

I need to sleep as my HP is at 1 after two random encounters with monsters. I have little money, so buying 2 First Aid is something I want to avoid.
I walked and talked to everyone about everything. I think. I cheacked all evidence inventory etc. I did NOT buy a Heavy Vest at shop.

My stats:
Madness: 2
Taint: 65
Mutation: 0
Depravity: 2

* I may click on it or not. Then is a "dreamless sleep consumes me" and "wake up" options

You've found the current end of content. I failed to finish the code related to the end, which resulted in the no HP from resting and the loop you are seeing.

I sent the new test build out on Friday to testers, and intend to release a new build towards the end of this week (Likely late Thursday, Friday at the latest.) that should not only resolve the issue you are experiencing, but also adds quite a bit of new content to the game.

Watch this thread, I'll be posting the new build here when it becomes available.

Hope that you have been enjoying the game so far!

Found a spelling error:
..begins to beat so voilently.. || Should be violently

This is found when you pick up the leather-bound tome in the church, then unravel its mysteries.
---

Another one found as a random event when entering the Barmaid's Daughter:
..who penched her backside || Should be pinched

Thank you very much for these. Got one other bug to deal with, plus these spelling errors, then I'll get a new fix up in a couple of hours!

Should be the last Wanton Cove fix before the next major release. Fixed one last minor bug and a couple of spelling/grammar stuff (Thank you again Eoin).

Thought I'd share the latest related to my other project while I was lurking over here this evening. Got a new build up, and the game is now in active development with the intention of alternating builds between it and Wanton Cove. I hope that you all enjoy the game just as much as you have been enjoying Wanton Cove.

Inheritance:
"After the passing of your estranged Great Uncle, you learn that he has left his estate to you in his will.

Unsure of what to do, you decide to visit the mansion you have just inherited, only to discover that not only was your Great Uncle an owner of slaves, but that two of them still remain at the mansion, . . . anticipating your arrival.

You meet Anna (21), an emotionally damaged woman who is haunted by the horrors she has experienced. As well as her sister Eve (18) who embodies the wonder of a child and who has been largely sheltered from the harsher realities of her situation.

It is up to you how you proceed, do you use them as you please, following in your Great Uncle's footstep? Or do you nurture them, giving them a brighter life than they have ever known, . . . and perhaps fall in love along the way?"


There are three versions available for this game.

Public Build: The public build is always one build behind the Patreon version of the game. I encourage anyone interested in playing to try out this free version of the game before pledging for either of the Early Access versions of the game.


Early Access: This build is one build ahead of the public release of the game. This build includes additional content and improvements.


Cheat Build: This build comes out at the same time as Early Access and includes the same content as the Early Access build. The difference is that this build includes a Cheat Menu in the Settings area that allows you to adjust both of the girls' stats at will.

Fix is up for Inheritance. This should resolve the lack of Settings button in the sidebar (Only important for people with the Cheat build of the game as that is where the Cheat Menu can be found) and fixed an issue where people were having trouble summoning the girls to the Ball Room.

No changes were made to the public version of the game, so you can follow the original link for that.

One last Inheritance fix before work starts on the next build of the game.


This build only has a few small changes from your perspective, but actually quite a bit has been changed in the background.


Changes include:
-Update to Cheat Menu. Additional skills have been added, though those skills do not affect anything yet. (Cheat Build only)
-Cheat Menu may look largely the same, but its been completely rebuilt in the background. Should be in its final form now with the exception of any additional items actually added to the Cheat Menu. (Cheat Build only)
-Did some pretty significant work to the Sidebar. Should have cleaned it up a bit from your perspective, but in addition to that it should make things just a little easier on our end as well by having a more intuitive layout.
-I had a single person report that the summoning bug was persisting. Not sure if this was a fluke, if they were using an old save, or what the deal was. Regardless, the issue has been addressed in detail by one of our coders and should be both fixed, and the code improved, related to this.

This should be the last fix before the next major build of the game. The plan is to go into this next week working on Inheritance. Going to drop a minimum of three interactive scenes into the game and try to add the sleep mechanic. Once the sleep mechanic is in the game, we'll have a template in place for almost every other mechanic that's going to appear in the game in the near future.
