r46 – APK & Quick Gender Change

r46 is released!  This build includes two features:

Quick Gender Change

You can now instantly swap genders by visiting Doc Nalf and requesting it.  This can be useful for easily resetting back to male if you’d like to experience another MtF transformation but don’t want to deal with locating / buying all the components for that.  Beyond male, you can also quick switch to female, shemale (one dick, zero vagina), and herm (one dick, one vagina):

APK (Android App) Version

In the last poll, APK was requested by a significant percentage of users, so I’ve spent some time to figure that out and have now released an APK version.  Under the hood, it’s still a web browser game, but it’s been enhanced to integrate nicely into Android OS.

If you’re on Android, APK is the best version of the game to play because:

  • You get an icon in the app list to easily launch the game

  • You can get notifications for new build updates via Android notifications

You can customize them via Android’s notification menu — set which ones you’d like to see, or even have them only displayed when your phone is unlocked.

There’s even a secret notifications channel hidden in the game options:

Which will get you high quality notifications like:

  • Name entry works in fullscreen mode (it auto-toggles android seamless mode to work with the system keyboard correctly)

APK version is available to all players now (including demo players) and is located here.

Other Misc UI Changes

  • When limited vertical screen space (usually mobile landscape non-fullscreen) and on name entry pages, only show first row of buttons to allow for more screen real estate (was previously getting cut off on certain narrow devices).
  • Fix for sometimes last field in login/register not being visible during text entry on mobile chrome.

r45 – Transformation Mods

Custom species are back! Mods can once again add completely new transformations to the game. Become a busty quad wolf, anthro giraffe, a pig, or a crotchhugger.  Or, if you’ve got some lua skills, you can make your own custom transformation.

Like all mods, custom transformations can be loaded via the Mod Control Panel in the debug rooms.  After loading your selected transformation(s), also load method(s) to trigger them — such as a cursed collar or enemy.  You can then experience the transformation in the debug rooms, or all the loaded content is also included in the mod procedural dungeon for a more natural/varied experience.  After loading your desired mods, you can head over to the procedural dungeon (use teleporter in debug rooms, or head to SkyCorp HQ) and either lose combat with one of the transforming monsters, or find one of the cursed collars to wear.  Then, enjoy your custom transformation~

Other changes/fixes:

  • Exposed additional functions that custom species/transformations can call to TG the player.
    • This makes it easy for your mod to support herm outcomes in addition to the usual female outcomes if the player is wearing an item that forces a cock, such as the cursed cock ring.
    • Wolf + Giraffe TF’s have been updated to use these, so you can check those for a code example, or if you’d just like to become a herm variant of those now.
  • Mod debugging output now only shows when debug output is turned on, meaning doing an entity.generate() call such as in Chickenpie32’s CrotchHugger mod won’t cause random debug text to appear mid-game.
  • Fixed rare bug where game wouldn’t start and would hang indefinitely on the queue page.
  • Small typo fix in Altar scene.

r44 – Wyvern Doms & LUA Modding

LUA modding has been reimplemented into the game, allowing most mods to function again.  This means the Wyvern Male is back, and he brought a new friend:  Wyvern Shemale!  (She’s just a gender swapped version of the male, for those who like their doms busty but still packing :3)

This green wyverness is eager for a mate, and it’s rumored she has a spare collar in her nest that can transform any wayward research subject that meets her rigorous standards into her new female breeding wyverness (which is anyone who seems interested in her massive, dual cocks).

She’s a loving, but firm mate. The wyvern will use her breeder regularly, making sure she’s always full of eggs. Since the new wyverness won’t be able to play with herself due to having wings instead of hands, she’ll soon come to treasure these sessions. In every case observed, even the most shy of research subjects are soon lustily begging their new mates to be filled up once their strong wyverness breeder desires kick in.

The shemale wyvern will protect her mate, too, ensuring she doesn’t wander out of the nest — it can be dangerous out there when you’re weighed down by so many eggs you can barely move. When the researcher’s four large breasts are full of milk, the shemale helps out by milking her. She does quite enjoy seeing how lusty her mate gets after a good milking.

If defeated by an unmated wyverness, the shemale will tuck tail and fly off. However, once mated, the new breeder typically finds herself naturally submissive toward her mate, becoming quite docile.

As with the Wyvern TF instinct system, there’s lots of teasing you through the fourth wall (get ready to be treated like a proper horny wyverness breeder, you slut <3). Actually, there’s a lot of content in here in general as the shemale wyvern will take different actions depending on her state and your state. All told, she’s got about 7k words of content — almost as much text as all of Chapter 2.  [Note:  Wyvern Shemale content is the same as Wyvern Male, just gender swapped.]

In addition to Advanced Monster Mods, also now supported again are:  clothing, map, and entity mods.  The re-introduction of LUA means people can once again create mods that add new scripted behavior to the game, such as unique enemies, new cursed collars, maps with unique functionality and so on.

There are still a few features not yet re-implemented, including support for custom species.  The list of current mod support details the current limitations.

For those who modded before and are curious what’s new, there’s now a What’s New in LUA Modding wiki page detailing the new steps to write LUA code for the game.  The process is a bit easier now, no longer requiring by hand compilation of the code.

If you’ve never modded before but are interested, the wiki modding tutorials have also been updated to describe the new process.
