r15 Public Build – Bugfixes & Milker

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.

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.

r13 Released — Chapter 5: The Pound

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 ~Preview~

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.

Read on below for an excerpt from the new chapter, and check back here on the research blog for a news post when chapter five launches.  PS, if you’ve played r12, note the cat TF is being updated to be more like this updated TF sequence.

r12 – Elephant + Cat + Multibreast TFs

r12 materials are now uploaded to the employee portal.

  • Elephant TF
    • Change incrementally via peanuts (frog girls sometimes drop them + also available via shops), or wear the cursed elephant collar (in debug room & shop).
    • Like pandas, elephants also tend to gain weight if they’re wearing the collar.
  • Cat TF
    • Change via catnip (available in the debug room).
    • Cats grow three sets of nipples (three sets of breasts for catgirls).
    • If you are mostly a cat, then catnip will also cause a lust increase.
  • Multi-breast TF
    • You can now add & subtract up to four rows of breasts via NuevoBreast and LessBreast items — currently only in the debug room.
    • 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.

r11 – bug fix & public build

This build is primarily a bug fix build, as well as being a public release of the non-story chapter content thus far.  For public players, this is the first release of weight/height/panda/normal dragon tfs, the shop system, and chapter skip system.

  • Wrote foxgirl victory sex
  • Fixed bug that would cause screen to get stuck if item/enemy name changed while it was being looked at
  • Fixed bug where panda tf would cause dragon tf descriptions
  • Fixed bug where defeating naga would cause crash
  • Added panda necklace to the tf shop
  • Game text XML organization improved
  • Indicate where end of story content is for public build
  • Bamboo is now one-use only (like the other tf items)
  • Cleaned up some old room descriptions
  • Fixed *** COULD NOT LOAD TEXT: NIXIEBOSS_PLAYER_DEFEAT ***
  • Fixed *** COULD NOT LOAD TEXT: NIXIEBOSS_LUST_OK ***
  • Fixed else-if statements not being parsed correctly (was especially visible in naga queen victory text).

r10 – Shop System

r10 materials are now uploaded to the employee portal.

  • Shop System added.  There are seven shops currently, each with their own selection of goods.
    • Some goods are available for purchase immediately.  Other goods must be unlocked by finding them in the world first.  The shopkeeper will give you a hint on how to unlock the item.
    • Shops use a new/different navigation system then inventory does.  This seems easier to use, and may replace inventory’s nav system.
    • NOTE:  Some shop items are unlocked by defeating the enemies in the Dragon Temple.  Unfortunately, the enemies in there don’t respawn and there’s currently no way to get back in there after you leave.  In future, these items will either be assigned to different enemies, or there will be a way to re-run the dragon temple dungeon again.
  • Normal anthro dragon TF added.  You unlock the Dragon Gem in the TF shop once you have defeated the Dragon Temple.  Transforms you into a normal anthro dragon (doesn’t affect gender or eggs).  Unlike the Dragon Queen, normal dragons have a hideable tail and wings, so they can blend in better / escape the Underworld when needed.
  • Fixed infinite-death loop where if you were cow TF’ed outside the farm, you’d never be able to reach the farm in time to be milked before dying a milk death.  (Cows now respawn in the farm if they have no way to milk themselves)

 

Plans for r10 & r11

Dear Researchers,

Here are the tentative plans for the upcoming r10 & r11 materials release:

r10 will be another private build, and will properly introduce Shops into the game so you have a place to spend the cash you earn in-game.  Each item will need to be found in the world before it unlocks in the shop, but you’ll be able to get a quick hint for each item from the respective shop keeper.  Multiple different shops are planned, each carrying a particular category of item.

The navigation for the shop is a little different than inventory navigation, but it should be easier to use.  Inventory may get redone to use this new nav system if the research team likes it better.

After that, r11 is planned to be a public build.  It will not include the cowgirl chapter, but it will include the item shops, height & weight systems, and panda TFs.

r9 – Chapter 4: Cowgirl Farm

This chapter begins right after the Nixie story arc ends.  As you’re leaving the Dragon Temple, you realize that even though you’re no longer a Dragon Queen, you’re still stuck in The Underworld due to your unhideable dragon wings and tail.  A shadowy figure appears and claims to have a solution.  Who are the VCiV organization, and what do they want?

Soon you’re off to infiltrate The Farm, a new dungeon filled with Cowgirls.  But the resident minotaur overseeing the farm has his own plans, and you end up getting trapped there yourself — you are transformed into a cowgirl, complete with massive breasts and a heaving udder.  As you explore the farm as its newest member, your body will constantly produce prodigious  quantities of milk.  Due to your new hoof hands, you’ll be forced to seek out others who can milk you, all while trying to find an escape route and defending yourself from the other lustful cowgirls and the part-horse farm hands.  Will you be able to escape the farm, or will you succumb to the pleasures of your milky new life?

Along the way, you’ll learn a bit about SkyCorp’s shadowy past and meet seven new characters.  This is by far the largest chapter yet, with more than 10,000 words and multiple scripted sequences.  If you’ve played before, the new Chapter Skip feature lets you get right to the new content.  Two different endings are available as you escape the farm, which will affect your standings with SkyCorp or VCiV in future events.

As this is a story chapter outside the Nixie story arc, it will only ever be available to private build supporters.  Play it now on the Private Builds page!
