If you backed on Patreon for the billing cycle on Oct 1st, that’s now been processed and you should have access to your builds in the employee intranet.  Thanks for your support!

The caveats there are: 1) a couple people still need to link their accounts, 2) several accounts with declined cards, and 3) several accounts that are still in a processing phase.  Reminder messages have been sent to #1, I believe Patreon sends messages already for #2, and #3 should hopefully autoresolve in a few days (sorry for the delay!)

With nearly double the number of votes of any option, player created transformation mod support has won the backer feature poll.

This is going to be a large feature to implement, and I plan to develop it in two phases:

Phase 1 (WIP) – the initial release will be a proof of concept build that contains the core ability for the game to read transformation mod files and create transformations based on them.  I will also release one or two sample transformation mod files.  As this will not contain any instructions or easy modding tool, this initial release will only be for adventurous WIP backers.  However, if you’re crafty, you can try looking at the plain text JSON file format and reverse engineer how it works and maybe make your own mods based on that.  Be warned there may be some changes to the mod file format before Phase 2 is released.

Phase 2 (Full Game) – I will create a system similar to SCLab for defining transformations so you don’t have to write code.  There may also be some updates to the file format to add support for additional transformation types, etc.  Once the tools and file format are complete, I’ll make the full transformation mod system available to all full game purchasers.  (Similar to the monster mod system, it will not ever be available to the demo version).

I expect this feature request to take a while, so look for a WIP build with Phase 1 sometime next month.

Gonna close the new feature poll on Monday, so if you haven’t voted and are a $5+ patreon supporter, go vote!

The options again are:

• Rework intro so you can choose your reaction (affects initial acceptance rate).
• Shop where you can sell loot.
• Succubus class or status or item: Gain HP via sex, but not via health items or rest.
• Click on minimap for larger map.
• Catgirl voice for chapter 5.
• TF Mods (player created transformations).
• Add a bunch more clothing items.
• Ability to carry but not wear a clothing item.
• Easier to use inventory screen.

Thanks for the bug reports for r22.  A bug fix update to public & private builds are now available to address the following issues:

• Fixed issue that prevented loading the game after having any food items in inventory/world
• Swick description of ‘could not load text’ fixed when encountering Swick in public builds
• Proper room description added for Sewer Shrine (now Sewer Treasure Stand)
• Added existing dragon related TF items to a new debug derg room (including dragon gem)
• Neuvobreast now drops for sluggirls instead of foxgirls
• When player is in sluggirl form, can no longer reset lust below 50 through masturbation scene per the existing text description
• Becky no longer turns the lights off twice in the intro
• Fixed issue where sluggirls referred to your ‘missing’ when player is female
