[Fan Art] Dinoian

Update 1/12/19: There is a new version of this art here.

Our first ever fan art for the Dinoian transformation in Chapter 6!

Here’s a snippet from the chapter description about them:

What should have been an easy ride across the desert turns out to be much more than you bargained for.  The convoy rides on specialized creatures that are genetically engineered to withstand the tough conditions of the desert.  These dinoians could best be described as a distant anthropomorphic cousin of a velociraptor, or perhaps some sort of wingless riding dragon.  One of them, Hanako, is planning her prison break, and you haplessly stumble into her plans.

Soon she’s stealing your identity.  She forces you to wear her old leather bindings, transforming you into a dinoian that looks just like she used to.  She had unintentionally acquired the reputation of convoy slut, and now that you have her identity, she intends to make sure you live up to her old behaviors so as to not be suspicious.  Every time you disobey her, she increases the size of your cleavage, making you hornier as you’re forced to expose your nearly-naked body to the world as she rides you.  To make matters worse, thanks to your monstrously large dinoian vagina, you won’t derive any joy from copulating with humans — so your body will work against you to force yourself to mate with your fellow beasts.  But they’re in a similar predicament, former humans trapped in lusty bodies that have no choice but to serve their riders and their base desires.

Try as you might, dinoians are forbidden from speaking thanks to their vocal cords which can only make animalistic noises.  Though you desperately want to explain your situation, no one can understand you.  Even removing the bindings themselves is impossible as they self-replicate to ensure you can never be freed.  Stick around long enough, you’ll start to enjoy serving your rider.  You may even begin to enjoy being tied up with your wrists bound, further restricting your opportunities for escaping this life.

Will you succumb to your dinoian need to be filled up and lay clutch after clutch of eggs?  Or will you find a way to escape your fate and complete the mission?

Also, next game update should be out in the coming week~

In-Game Mod Browser / Mod Portal

You can now easily browse and install mods — all from right from inside the game!

With the new r34 build, active subscribers can use the Control Panel inside the Debug Rooms and select browse to get an interface like this:

Then simply select mods you are interested in and install them.

The interface works on both the regular SWF version, as well as the mobile version — making it infinitely easier to play mods on Android phones (no more copy/paste!).

There is also a mod web portal to browse, edit, and submit new mods outside of the game.

Play in Browser

Made some changes to the Play In Browser page so hopefully it should work a little better in Chrome (until Google removes flash support entirely, anyway).

Wyvern Fixes

r33.02 has been released with fixes on Wyvern code:

  • Save / load fixes for collar not spawning on old save files.
  • Made it even more difficult to get wyvern collar off after you’ve bred the first time.
  • Save / load fix for never progressing to second phase of wyvern TF after breeding.  Note – if you have a late stage wyvern TF from save files from r33 and/or r33.01, you will probably need to breed again in order to activate the second phase TFs.

Female Breeding Wyvern TF

r33 adds a new transformation brave researchers can undergo:

After wearing a collar in the debug rooms labeled “Female Breeder Wyvern #562,” the researcher will find themselves shifting.

Their toes will become claws, while their skin develops a mixture of scales, feathers, and fur. A thick tail will grow, swishing around invitingly and drawing attention to their newly plump butts from any nearby potential mates. If they weren’t already female, they’ll become so with two rows of massive breasts and a vagina large enough to mate with a male wyvern.

It’s still possible for the researcher to escape, but their new breeding instincts will be difficult to fight. If they succumb to their base desires, the remaining transformations will forever mark them as a wyverness. Arms will become wings, hands into rigid wingtips. They’ll stand on digitigrade legs as they settle into the proper quadrupedal stance of a horny beast.

Despite the new breeder instincts driving the hapless researcher into a lustful frenzy, they’ll find themselves unable to gain any self-pleasure with those useless wings. Their body is designed to breed, forcing them to seek out the company of a male who will fill them up. An extremely fertile womb will only need a few drops of their mate’s cum to begin producing a clutch of eggs. Belly rapidly expanding, they’ll soon discover wyverns have a long incubation time as they’re left lumbering about with an impossibly large brood. Eventually, even movement will become difficult as they struggle to carry a clutch so big their past exploits as a breeder are obvious to everyone. Midway through the pregnancy, they’ll find their breasts become milky… although with no hands to milk themselves they’ll need to rely on a milking machine to do it for them.

Meanwhile, they’ll find communication becoming more difficult as their nose becomes ridged and they develop a snout — try as they might to vocalize their needs, the only thing that comes out are squawks. Even Arya cannot understand them to help remove their transformative collar, leading them to be permanently stuck as a needy breeder.

Fortunately, their body is able to express their desires non-verbally: their slit begins to emit the alluring smell of a lust-crazed breeder, ensuring the shy researcher will get exactly the kind of attention she secretly craves. Taken again and again, she’ll love spending the rest of her life as an incubator for her mate, laying clutch after clutch of eggs like the good breeder slut she has become.

This transformation has a bit of everything thrown into it: eggs, quadruped, vocal restrictions, permanency, movement restrictions, milk, two-phase transformations, non-dexterous hands, slow incubation, etc.

One new concept I am experimenting with on the Wyvern TF is an ‘instinct’ system.  The instinct narration will actively tease the player, encouraging them to engage in breeding.  I think it came out pretty sexy (especially the later teases), but it does have a very different tone than the usual narration text.  After you’ve tried it, post your thoughts in the comments or discord.

Some notes on playing the Wyverness:

  • The collar is in the debug rooms.
  • Try out the octomaid (also in the debug rooms) for getting knocked up — her tease system is compatible with wyverns, and will even recognize when you lose speech ability.
  • Don’t forget you can get a milker from the trade outpost (its systems have been updated to recognize non-cows in this update).

General system changes:

  • Unhideable arms now prevent wearing shirts.

Thanks to Pyru for doing some proofreading on an earlier iteration of the Wyvern TF.  Any errors are my own.

Eventually, I would like to write a Male Wyvern Mate to go along with this TF, along with a little story and game area.  It doesn’t fit in with the story chapters, so maybe it’ll end up being the first DLC/side chapter later on.  But getting Chapter 7 done will probably come before that.

Have fun being a wyvern, and enjoy what is now the fourth egg pregnancy system in the game. 😉

[Fan Art] ‘Bad End’ by Ghostbun

This artwork is by Ghostbun, and is the first ever fan art for the game (so exciting)!

Ghostbun describes the premise for this piece as imagining what would happen in a ‘bad end’ where the player was too busy laying eggs to leave and had no choice but to submit to being Nixie’s lover forever.

(Edit: Okayman is now Ghostbun, check out the updated link and follow their new account)

r32 Released – Chapter 7 Intro & Faction Points

Chapter 7 Intro

The newly released r32 build adds the intro section of Chapter 7 (the section that occurs before you get to the aquarium).

You finally make contact with the shadowy Baosheng Group and discover Krista is becoming a cowgirl.  Will you return her to human, send her to the farm, or keep her for yourself?  These three different endings will greatly affect the future of VCiV.

This section clocks in at around 6,684 words, which means that just the intro for chapter 7 is already slightly more words than all of chapter 3.  There’s not much puzzle solving or enemy fighting in this intro though, so it should be a quick play.  Try all the endings!

Faction Points

Faction Point System

Faction Points are now properly tracked and saved.  There is a UI scene (currently in settings, but will eventually be moved somewhere more appropriate) where you can check on your current faction points and allies.

This system helps keep track of the various decisions you’ve made throughout the game and how you’ve aligned yourself with the three factions.

Note that since faction points were not previously tracked, old save files will not have any faction points displayed.

Misc Additions & Fixes

  • Support for player pronoun text variables.
  • Fixed bug where entities that should be invisible were showing up in the item popup list.
  • Several proactive fixes to save/load, including fixed bug with Krista intro replaying when it shouldn’t, Thornton status being lost and potential situation where you could be locked out of the VCiV door.

Next Build Contents

Chapter 7 is coming along well.  I ended up rewriting a lot of the minor details for the chapter 7~9 outlines, which is pretty typical for every time I’m in the early phases of a new chapter.  I think it comes out a little better each time, becoming a progressively more cohesive story that flows better chapter-to-chapter.  No changes to overall chapter topics though!

The first release of Chapter 7 will cover the events that happen before you get into the aquarium — you may recall some unusual/milky behavior from Krista, which the first part of Chapter 7 goes into details on (and lets you decide her fate!). You will also make a contact at Baosheng, who is the one to give you the aquarium mission.

Also in the next build will be proper tracking for the Faction Points system as well as a place to check your current alliances.

I’ll be closing out the discord chat vote in a few days after the Patreon pledges have gone through so new patrons have a chance to weigh in.

The usual notes about the patron cycle follow — if you’re a new patron, please take note:

It’s the first of the month, which means Patreon processing has begun and will continue updating automatically over the next few days. New backers should ensure their Patreon accounts are linked on the researcher intranet. Note even if Patreon’s website indicates a charge to you, it can still take a couple days for their website to update the data they display to me. In prior months, most people’s access is usually granted on the second of the month, with others spread out on the other days of the first week of the month.

If you’re planning to unpledge on Patreon, I recommend waiting a few days for the reconciliation process to complete before you unpledge. This is because once you unpledge, the Patreon API no longer sends any data about your purchases.

Thanks for your support!

Patreon

As you may have heard, a lot of NSFW Patreon creators are currently being suspended.  Fortunately, we haven’t been affected so far, but I’ve updated the subscription options page to encourage new subscribers to use BMT Micro instead going forward.

Current/New Patreon Subscribers – You don’t need to take any specific action or move your subscription.  Assuming nothing happens to us, Patreon will still be fully supported.

I’m also evaluating how to handle posting project updates on Patreon.  Many creators are getting banned for making those, or even linking to their own websites, so I will either be making abbreviated posts on Patreon or will skip posts there.  As always, you can grab the RSS feed from this blog directly and read it with your favorite feed reader, or join our discord channel which has a dedicated announcements room.

Also, it’s the first of the month, which means Patreon processing has begun and will continue updating automatically over the next few days.  New backers should ensure their Patreon accounts are linked on the researcher intranet.  Note even if Patreon’s website indicates a charge to you, it can still take a couple days for their website to update the data they display to me.  In prior months, most people’s access is usually granted on the second of the month, with others spread out on the other days of the first week of the month.
