cool to write it next to it
By being more powerful than her after defeat. Otherwise, (s)he fights too hard and gets killed.
Well, yes. The capturing mechanic is largely the same, except that you don't need to outlevel (but still need to over-power) her post-defeat, but there are a couple of random chances of her being killed off beforehand. One related to her level, and the other to your dragon's rage.
You already know my food critiques and sounds like you solving them which I really appreciate. As for new villages, I have a couple ideas first is that as your infamy grows high enough some villages could start trying to pay their taxes to you rather then the kingdom (generally livestock and gold) to avoid being razed could even put dragonspawn in control managing them as they seem like the smartest of the bunch, and there can be a little subgame where you need to protect them from the kingdom razing them by setting minions to defend them while you sleep.
IG: At that point, you're already halfway into the Final Battle and once the King notices, he has no option but to trigger it himself. The tribes are living in remote enclaves that are possibly even slightly beyond the Kingdom's borders, these villages would be much more visible.
Even human ones.Read my lips: Minions can't have agency.
Exists now, and can also attract Nagas. I'm not even sure two food villages, bulk buying and whales won't be too much.
, and you have played jack o nine they are from the same creator I recommend, it there a mod version in f95
Of course. But I won't have the time for it before about the second week of July, and I have a whole bunch of things I still want to do do. If someone wishes to make an intermediate update, I can share my script files, but modifying them so that they work with the current release is not easy.
This has at least two solutions now.
If minions can't have agency, captives are not going to get it either. And food will have a bunch of new options, so any 'kitchen' will not be terribly useful. If you want nourishment from your prizes, just eat them like a good dragon.
Both of these the Dragon will be able to do himself (well, the 'attraction' will use the Smugglers' Isle).
Exists already, get them scared enough and choose 'magic cum'. Or impregnate a random lass in the fields and let her go.
Most of them are pretending. Women do it all the time, and being captured by a monstrous, sex-crazed beast is just about the best time for that.
Well, what do you suggest? For me, they usually go enthusiastic mid-intercourse, after a bit of torture, which kinda does qualify as an 'event'.
I have played JONT. It wasn't quite my cup of tea, although I admire it for what it is. There are even several versions here that are or were being worked on, and I have... various relationships with the people behind those.
You can make them into Dragon Priestesses who worship the Gobbler at your altars of rib-stealing. They won't lose stats then, quite the contrary.
They can come out of the cages and joint you on mutt-hunting adventures, can't they? I'd say that's quite a significant change.
There are a number of high-libido women. Notably, the nuns at the Cathedral, half of the elven Novices and all of the Acolytes, the 'berry' and " 'shroom" girls, half of all thieves and also half of all Ogre mates. Lots of others can also roll a more lustful personality. Have you not noticed that some girls take a lot of torturing to become 'mate'able, and others are very easy?
No. Lack of sex pics in general, and a complete lack of 'dragon sex' images in particular. Besides, how do you even know that there are any 'dwarf women'?
Paradox and other 'grand strategy' games never really clicked for me. Anyway, I've spent considerable effort moving TfD away from the 'chtonic slime' legacy, and I'm not particularly interested in turning around again.
Last beta update was in... March, I think. The game is quite alive, but development is slow because of Goldo's RL issues, and the current beta has been going on for more than a year now.
Yeah, Goldo can deliver quality dialogue. He's been more focused on the story this year, actually.
As far as I recall, DW 1.0.1 had very limited dialogue, and it was largely random and only depended on the girl's origin (peasant, noble, giantess, etc).
Or milk cow.
That was an oblique reference to making minions out of them so they can drain other captives, making them better breeders/cows for a while and eliminating the drain they've undergone themselves. Get a girl, breed her until her resistance breaks, then have her torture others to restore her stats, breed her again, repeat.
Very high-level patrols in the countryside and on the Trade Routes, high-end cultist sacrifices and maxed thieves. Sky palaces, but these are currently too rare to be a reliable source.
No more freebie angel girls.
True. Although from the dragon's POV, they're both thieves, one is just less subtle about it.
Yeah.
Since I'm capping minions at twice lair size and moving traps to their own building pool, guard posts became a bit anemic compared to cages. So guard posts and the two tentacle rooms get an upgrade that allows you to put a second minion or girl in there. And cages get a more secure upgrade that can hold two captives but disallows torture and eating.

How many people are actually hoping for a release anytime soon, i.e. within 2-3 weeks, tops?Take your time. There is little point in trying to force yourself and then throwing the project away in frustration.Fuck, I spent entirely too much time trying to find 'cage torture' pictures. No such thing, apparently. The women either straight out get fucked, aren't touched at all, lack cages or at least shackles, are too pristine or recognisable, or feature other humans doing the torturing ... Even Goblin Slayer characters don't quite fit.
Anyway, I think I'll have to take another break to do some RL stuff, and I'm kinda despairing when I look at my looong TODO list. I'm not sure I have the energy to do it all in the next month or so. I still have a balance pass of encounter weights and combat stats, whale eating and a number of QoL things that I think I can manage. But Elder Titans, Demon girl events, other picture-hunting, digging options, rebalancing tributes and a bunch of other features are looking like burnout right now.
Good point, thank you. I do want to make a release because I kinda feel bad about not updating for so long, but, well, the long pause means there have been lots of ideas thrown around.
Was easy still too hard?
The difficulty will probably not be very different, but there is an even easier difficulty setting now, plus a bunch of QoL changes.
Thanks, but lately I find myself struggling with motivation due to doing exactly that. Developing stuff in a (feedback) vacuum is kinda not fun.
It's been a while, 8 months maybe, so I can't say for sure but I recall failing in way too many of the starter area stuff and was wondering what I was doing wrong, came here to check for guidance and saw that savescumming is expected for normal and up and went "Oh I will just wait and hope this improves"
At the moment I am a bit busy with IRL stuff but I will give it a try and hope I can help, although it may take a while depending on how things pan out for me. Will brush the game up and see how I remember it playing out to try to think of good additions.
It would be really helpful if you could articulate what exactly you were failing at, that seemed solvable only by savescumming.
Having and using regular saves is never going away from normal, and savescumming from hard and above. But I played normal for a while a few weeks ago, and if you know what you're doing, you should be able to play without savescumming. It won't be pretty, you'll have to take some shots on the chin, but it seems entirely doable.
That's fine.
