r23 – Mod support for Entities and Clothes

r23 is now released to all private backers and includes the ability to mod in your own items and clothes into the game! These can be simple text-only mods, or can be driven through LUA code. The new build can be downloaded via the 2017-12-30 06:34:42 +0000 UTC View Post

r22.5 WIP – LUA Modding

r22.5 WIP is now released to WIP backers via the Researcher Intranet. It contains the basics for LUA modding. It’s not full featured enough for any serious modding, as there’s only a handful of exposed functions, but it lets you poke around with the new modding tools and create code mods for the game.

$15 Tier - the name has changed slightly, but it's the same reward

I've changed the $15 "Full Game (One Time Purchase)" tier name to "Full Game (Permanent Access)".

Nothing has actually changed! That's just to hopefully make it clearer to people that Patreon works on a monthly system and you have to unpledge if you don't want to continue to be charged. As always for the $15 tier, you only have to buy a copy once -- you can remove your patronage after your purchase has been charged and continue receiving builds through the 2017-12-19 20:25:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Nov 1 Patron Access

Patreon was super fast this month with the charge cycle. If you backed on Patreon for the billing cycle on Nov 1st, that’s now been processed and you should have access to your builds in the employee intranet. Thanks for your support!

There are a couple users who had their cards declined — if you manage to work that out with Patreon and get a successful charge, give me an e-mail, discord PM or Patreon note.

WIP on Mods

Here’s a little demo of the upcoming modding system, still very much a work in progress. In it, you can see me exploring the possibility of mods that include… custom code! This feature would allow modders to have a great deal of power and flexibility on what custom items (and eventually transformations) would be able to do, beyond the current limitations of mere text & variable substitution.

TF Mods Wins the Poll

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 file...

Feature Vote Reminder

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

Hotfix Release r22.01

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)

October Backer Poll

It usually takes a day or two for Patreon to process all the transactions, so while we wait, here is a backer poll for the next community requested game feature.

Public + Private r22 Release

Public (Demo) and Private (Full Game) flavors of r22 are now available.

Public

Updates for public players since r20:

Frog TF

Now the frogs in the swamp chapter can now transform you into one, too.

4000+ words of chapter 2 content including different scenes when the Naga Queen defeats you based on what form you’re in. The minions are a bit smarter too, and won’t try to transform you if you’re already a frog or slug (unless you’re not 100% in...

Bug Fixes - r21.03 Private Build Released

Thanks for all the bug reports in comments and Discord!

Private build r21.03 includes these fixes since r21.01:

• Added Thornton Clothes Pile to prevent getting stuck in strip club.
• Save/load dinoian pregnancy state.
• Adjusted Doc Nalf text.
• Fixed bug where beating chapter 3 crashed the game.
• Added reduce cream to hospital shop, and as an item occasionally dropped by foxgirls.

Backers may download it at the 2017-09-10 10:07:06 +0000 UTC View Post

r21 Ch6 / Private Build Released!

Chapter six: "Dinoian Desert" is finally complete and ready to play! r21 is available for download for all full game / private build backers at the researcher intranet in both SWF and APK flavors.

This build includes the release of:

Dino Chapter

At the conclusion of chapter five, you incapacitated Thornton by transforming him into a catgirl, leaving him trapped to work in Mulberry's st...

r20.5 WIP Released – Ch6 missing text build

WIP build 20.5 is now available. This build contains the full set of functionality for chapter six, however, doesn't have much of the text to go with it. This means you can now beat chapter six with this build, but without the text to hint at the solutions, it will be very difficult to do so.

As always, it's recommended to save to a different slot for WIP builds. Some of the text is copied into the save file, so some missing text will carry through save files if you play on WIP and then...

Sept 1 Patrons Processed

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

There's about six things left to complete until the ch6 functionality is complete, and then I'll release a missing text WIP build. Then I'll get the remaining text written up and release the full private build. It's a bit...

Discord Patreon Rewards

Finally got around to setting up the Discord rewards for patrons. There’s special roles for the Supporter tier and the WIP build tier. The roles grant you a special chat color for your name and access to a hidden chat room (#research-lab).

If you’re a patron, click here to learn how to get your role.

In future, I’d like to add a role + room for all private /...

Planned Chapters

Chapter six is coming along great and should release to all private backers either at the end of this month or the first few weeks of next month. Prior to the private release, I plan to do a missing text release to WIP backers once the chapter is functionality complete but before I've written the remaining chapter text.

I realized it's been two years since the last new chapter, and I think that has to do a lot with the scope creep for this chapter -- the number of new systems implemented / to ...

r20.4 WIP Released – Frog TF

Frog TF won this month’s poll option. Based on how excited the comments for it was, I tried to make it extra special, so you can look forward to 4000+ words of content including different scenes when the Naga Queen defeats you based on what form you’re in. The minions are a bit smarter too, and won’t try to transform you if you’re already a frog or slug (unless you’re not 100% in that form, in which case they’ll try to re-transform you if you’re of the matching species). Frogs and slugs a...

August 1 Patreon Backers Access Granted

For the backers who pledged last month, private build access has been granted if your card was successfully charged (download at the employee intranet).

If your card was declined, then you did not receive private build access (but also weren’t billed anything either).

Thanks for your support!

r20.35 WIP Released

Slowly getting more systems in place for chapter 6. This build contains:

• Roughing out several NPCs for chapter 6, namely Swick & Hanako. No dialogue for them yet though (expect lots of “COULD NOT LOAD TEXT” messages!).
• Added a warning not to overwrite save games from stable builds with save games from WIP builds.
• The beginnings of the ‘Ride an NPC’ system:
  • You can now mount & dismount our main Dinoian NPC, Hanako. Head to the north of Haven and ...

Private Build r20.01 Released

If you saved during chapter 5 and are encountering a problem loading the game, try the new r20.01 build. This is otherwise the same build as r20 but with a fix for this savegame issue.

Available now in the Employee Intranet in SWF & APK.

r20.3 WIP Released

Build r20.3 is now uploaded to the employee intranet for WIP patrons. It includes:

• Dinoian TF, UI/DPI Scaling and Multiple Map / Large Map Support.
• A new settings page, where you can adjust the scale of UI elements vs size of text, and toggle on/off touch controls.
• A bug fix for an issue where save files in chapter 5 could become unloadable.
