Attention researchers, a new species has been discovered!

A new cursed pendant in the debug room has the power to transform test subjects into anthro black widow spiders.  After exposure, test subjects will no longer be able to stand upright, but will instead be forced to crawl on spider legs and will grow a huge, bulbous opisthosoma-butt.

Spiders are a strong species.  Thanks to their razor sharp appendages, they are capable of performing combat strikes with 20% increased damage.  This damage comes at a cost.  Due to their short stature and octopedal motion, the female’s breasts will swing below them as they move.  Large breasts will rub against the ground, driving arousal whenever they move.  Extremely large breasts will occasionally prevent movement entirely.

Lust will have to be carefully managed, as the black widow’s opisthosoma-butt is so large that she will be unable to reach her own vagina to let off steam.  Instead, the black widow will have to find a partner… but she must choose carefully.

When spiders engage in sex with a male partner, they stand a significant chance of becoming pregnant with a huge clutch of eggs.  When pregnant, the spider’s belly will fill with eggs and become massive.  The belly hangs under the spider, and at large sizes will impede the spider’s egress from predators and leave it vulnerable to attack.  After a short incubation period, the female is forced to lay eggs.  Regardless of her wishes, this cycle repeats several times until her supply of fertilized eggs is eventually exhausted.  Finally her work is complete and she can return to normal proportions… at least until she is mated again.

Currently there are no males in the open world accessible dungeons, but researchers can use the debug hub to teleport to willing males in the dragon temple.

Research staff can download r17 from the private employee intranet as either SWF (Flash) or APK (Android).

The wiki is up.  There’s not much content yet, so feel free to add & edit pages if you want to.  It uses the same account system as the game, however, you do not need to have a paid account to edit the wiki.  A WYSIWYG editor is available, so no knowledge of wiki markup is required.

Don’t login to the wiki if you don’t want your SkyCorp username to be publicly shown, as MediaWiki keeps a public log of usernames.

r16 is now available in the employee intranet for private build supporters.  This build adds one new feature: Mobile Mode.  On the splash screen, there is now a button you can press to enter a new mode which makes the game much easier to play on phone / tablet / touch devices.  It modifies the UI layout by increasing the size and distance between the buttons and resizing various other UI components.  Text windows can also now be scrolled by swiping them up/down.  Button hover states are removed in this mode since touchscreens will often keep the cursor at the last touched location.

For players on Android, an APK build has been created that you can install directly as an app.  This web page has some tips on how to install APKs.

The game will try to detect if its on a touchscreen or not, but if it fails, just toggle between Desktop Mode and Mobile Mode by using the new button on the start up page.

This feature & APK releases will also be available to public build players in a later public release.

Erihya suggested improving the monster attack text to recognize the player’s current body state.  I think this is a pretty great idea, and I’m happy to take suggestions for these texts.

I am working on getting a wiki/forum set up to document this system and be place to collaborate on these texts, but it might take a while.  In the meanwhile, here’s some information if you want to get started brainstorming/writing.

Each flavor text should specify these parameters:

FLAVOR TEXT:  What the text of the attack is.
TYPE: Choose one:  Monster’s Physical Attack Succeeded, Monster’s Physical Attack Failed, Monster’s Lust Attack Succeeded, Monster’s Lust Attack Failed
MONSTER: The type of monster attacking the player (Wild Fox, etc).  Some attack text may be vague enough to work for most monsters, and so can be labeled as ‘Generic’ (slug girls and some others won’t use the generic set)
BODY PART: Which part of the body the enemy is going after
TF TYPE:  The transformation state that body part is in (ie: human, fox, etc)
EXTRA CONDITION (Optional):  If some condition needs to be true in order for this to happen.  For instance, if the torso attack mentions breasts, then the [[BREASTS]] condition could be used to check the player has at least A-cup breasts.

Here is a list of body parts on the player that can be transformed:

FEET
LEGS
TORSO (chest / breasts / stomach)
ARMS
HANDS
UBACK_ATTACH (Upper back attachment, ie wings.  May not exist)
LBACK_ATTACH (Lower back attachment, ie tail.  May not exist)
EYES
TEETH
HEAD_HAIR (this is not really implemented/used yet)
NOSE
EARS
MOUTH
UDDER (Usually doesn’t exist)
PENIS (Currently either Human or Horse)

Here is a list of TF Types:

HUMAN
FOX
COW
DRAGONQUEEN
SLUGGIRL
PANDA
DRAGON
ELEPHANT
CAT
TIGER
HORSE
TURKEY

And here’s the monster list — not all of them do both lust and physical attacks:

Catgirl
Cowgirl
Dogherm
Dragon Disciple
Dragon Servant
Farm Horseman
Frog Minion
Minotaur Boss
Naga Queen
Nixie Boss
Slug Minion
Foxgirl

I’ll work on getting a list of conditions and parser variables up on the wiki later, but that’s at least enough to get started with.

To take inspiration from one of Erihya’s suggestions, here is an example of one attack:

FLAVOR TEXT: [[MONSTER NAME]] sneaks up from behind to hug you, but you catch [[MONSTER HIS/HER]] reflection.  The moment [[MONSTER HE/SHE]] lays [[MONSTER HIS/HER]] hand on your back, you twist around.  The sudden actions sends your [[BELLY DESCRIPTION]] smacking into [[MONSTER HIM/HER]], causing [[MONSTER HIM/HER]] to stumble away.
TYPE:  Monster’s Lust Attack Failed
MONSTER:  Generic
BODY PART:  Torso
TF TYPE:  Dragon Queen
EXTRA CONDITION: [[LARGE BELLY]]

Public Build

Here’s the new content for public build players:

Tiger TF

Tiger TF is a more furry version of the Cat TF, but without the effects of going into heat.  Tigers have three rows of nipples / breasts.  Find tigernip in the grocery store and the tiger pendant in Jimmy’s shop in the SkyCorp office.

Elephant TF

Change incrementally via peanuts (frog girls sometimes drop them + also available via shops), or wear the cursed elephant collar (shop).

Like pandas, elephants also tend to gain weight if they’re wearing the collar.

Horse TF

Use either the horsepills (hospital shop) or the cursed horseshoes (Jimmy’s shop at SkyCorp) to become more equine.

Male horses will grow a massive horse dick.  As with all the more extreme TFs, you may find it more trouble than its worth.  When sheathed, it’s sufficiently large enough that it will trigger automatic lust increase.  And if you become highly lustful, it will extend out of its sheath to double its length and increase its girth.  This size increase will destroy any pants you’re wearing, so hiding in urban areas will be tough.

When extended, your horse dick will be long enough to enjoy autofellatio during masturbation.

Warning:  due to the extreme nature of this TF, you may find it difficult, perhaps impossible, to reach the Doc and become human again.  Wearer beware.

Additional note:  The horseshoe is the first non-neck TF item, which means it can be worn at the same time as other TF items.  However, sometimes two cursed TF items ‘fight’ over specific areas of the body to claim, so you may want to stick with just one.

Turkey TF

New turkeys will find their arms transformed into wings and their belly gaining weight fast.  Wear the wishbone pendant from Jimmy’s shop in the SkyCorp office.

Multi-breast

• You can now add & subtract up to four rows of breasts via NuevoBreast and LessBreast items (sometimes dropped by fox girls).
• When multiple rows of breasts are present, they will cause a penalty to exposure if uncovered.  Penalty is proportional to size x number of rows.
• Note – since slug girls have extra rows of breasts, if you TF to something different after being a sluggirl, you will continue to have extra rows of breasts (but only on your torso).
• Doc Nalf will reset breast rows to 1.

Milker

If you get yourself into a situation where you have hoof hands and are producing milk, you’ll need a way to milk yourself to prevent infinite milky death.  Now you can get a portable milking machine at the new Trading Outpost in Northwest Haven.  The milker will either bottle your milk, or convert it into items to help you produce even more milk.  If you have not produced enough milk, it will have no effect.  Using it in combat will cause a loss.

Bugs Fixed:

Thank you for the bug reports.  These ones are now fixed:

• Fixed cock ring + dragon queen collar causing player to get stuck unable to lay eggs.
• Fixed bug where after completing the farm chapter, if you go back in it won’t let you back out because you don’t have the intelligence report.
• Fixed bug where you could get stuck unable to lay eggs as a combination slug girl / dragon queen.

There is now an automated password reset / forgotten username system available for use here.

R14 is released, including a community suggested TF.  Please enjoy this release!

Turkey TF
New turkeys will find their arms transformed into wings and their belly gaining weight fast.  Wear the Turkey pendant in Debug Curse Room 2 (south, then west).  Happy Thanksgiving to players in the states!

Shopping List
Unlock all items in the shops instantly by using the shopping list in the debug room.

Known bugs:

• If you start lactating and have useless hands (hooves, etc), you may get stuck in an infinite death loop.
• After completing the farm chapter, if you go back in for any reason it won’t let you back out because you don’t have the intelligence report, despite the fact that I already finished that bit.
• If you acquire an udder, die and get sent to the farm, you may die again right away before it works again

Next release should be a public release once some of the bugs are fixed.

The r13 materials, including Chapter 5, is now released for backers.  To recap from the earlier preview post:

In this chapter, you’re sent by VCiV to infiltrate a strip club. Unfortunately, the only way in is to become a stripper yourself, and you’ll need to be a convincing one in order to find and neutralize your target. The problem? Most of the people who work here quickly end up becoming catgirls. Will you be able to finish your mission, or will you become a permanent employee at the club?

Along the way, you’ll also learn a few new bits of one of your favorite character’s back story and have your first glimpse of a whole new mysterious faction vying for power in The Underworld.

This chapter is the biggest one yet with over 12,000 words and 50 new rooms to explore.

The preview post also has a story snippet from the chapter.  Enjoy!

Chapter five is in progress, and it is huge.  It’s even larger than chapter four.  The new chapter is clocking in at around 11,000 words and approximately 48 new rooms to explore.
