Discord locked my account / Moving platforms

As a heads up for anyone trying to contact me via Discord, my Discord account was sent to phone verification hell and I can’t get back into it.  If you sent any private message to me there in the past month, I did not receive it.

Going forward, if you need to contact me, please use:

  • Fastest methods:
  • Still OK, just slower methods:
    • Patreon DM (sometimes doesn’t notify me via email, but eventually I see it when I login)
    • Twitter DM (never notifies me via email, but eventually I see it when I login)
    • FA DM (never notifies me via email, but eventually I see it when I login)

You can try to find whatever account I’m on at Discord at the time, but please do not consider it a reliable way to reach me since I may end up having to cycle through many more discord accounts in future as Discord support is useless (more on that below).

r53 – Drakeling Transformation

Return to the Dragon Temple and become a drakeling in the newly released r53 update.

Drakeling Lust

Drakelings are the horny, shortstack servants of the anthro dragons at the Dragon Temple.  If you return to the Dragon Temple as a human, you might just become a drakeling yourself~

You’ll quickly discover firsthand why drakelings have such a horny reputation — their body keeps them lusty at all times, and they take lust damage twice as fast as other species.  With such a needy body, no doubt you’ll start acting just as slutty as any other common drakeling.

Eager to Serve

Drakelings are genetically bound to obey their draconic superiors, and you’ll find the other dragons have no qualms about using this against you in a fight.  They might order you to stop making physical attacks against them, though fortunately you have other wiles at your disposal until the command wears off.  Drakelings are also highly mobile and have an easier chance of escaping a fight — unless, of course, they’ve been ordered not to for a few turns.

Accept your new Owner

The dragon temple NPCs have been converted to the dynamic dom system, so they now have individualized names, preferences, and the capability to become your new Mistress/Master.  These temple guards and servants are always looking for drakeling pets and slaves, and you’ll find once you’re transformed that they’ll be eager to claim you as their own.  If you accept one of the temple denizens as your Owner, they’ll be sure to put you in your place — giving you new commands to strip naked like a proper drakeling, claim your earnings as their own, or make you wear a collar that shows who owns you.

Steamy Scenes for Shortstacks

Player defeat scenes for both the Dragon Disciple and Dragon Servant have been updated with some drakeling-specific text/teases, and there’s also an all new defeat to temple dom scene centered around shortstack / mild~moderate size difference sex that will sometimes play if you’re drakeling height.  Additionally, there’s a new sequence that plays in the drakeling den room where the massive, half-brood stud Valeska comes by and uses you as an onahole — good thing drakeling pussy is stretchy!

Draconid owners will also get horny over time and occasionally seek you out to use you — even if you’ve left the temple.  If they find you in the wrong form, there’s a short scene for your Owner to re-transform you back into your proper drakeling body.

There’s around 7,000 new words in total for the drakeling content.

Become a Pet or Slave

There’s now a notion of what sort of flavor of ownership a dynamic dom has/wants over you.  Each temple dom will have their own preference on whether they’d like you to be a pet-type drakeling or slave-type drakeling, which is shown on the dom information page before you accept/reject the ownership request.

In addition to the temple denizens starting to call you pet or slave, the collar you receive is also different for each type.  Pets will receive a cursed pet collar that can only be decursed by Arya (as usual).  This pet collar also has a leash permanently attached to it that enemies can grab onto, decreasing the likelihood of escape during combat encounters.  Meanwhile, slaves will receive a slave collar with a short chain.  The slave collar is permanent, and has a short chain that doms can tug on during intimate scenes.  However, the chain isn’t long enough to affect your escape chances.  Both kinds of collars are transformative to keep you in your drakeling form.

There are a few ways you can become a drakeling:

  • Return to the Dragon Temple and participate in the initiation ritual:  Revisit the Dragon Temple as a human after finishing Chapter 4. One way to do that is to chapter skip to Chapter 6, then walk over to the Dragon Temple, and lose a fight there.
    • If fully human, you will have a 45% chance of being turned into a drakeling during the ritual.
    • You can increase this to a 100% chance by consuming a single Rock Candy before the ritual (the ritual will choose which dragon transformation is furthest along and enhance that).
  • The debug rooms have a new drakeling room with various drakeling transformation items (top right) that can either partially or fully transform you:  Rock Candy, Drakeling Bangle, Drakeling Pet Collar, and Drakeling Slave Collar.
  • Drakeling beer has long been available at the tavern, but now it is drinkable.

Misc Changes

  • Generic, non-transforming versions of the pet collar and slave collar are now available at the Trading Post.
  • Lots of new game text variables to reference NPC body, player’s submissive type (breeder/pet/slave/etc), and more.
  • Fix bug #135: Having multiple procedural dungeons open can potentially cause load to fail.
