Update 15th Dec '24

This week was mostly spent writing The Trapperess's mini-boss scenario. There was a period in the middle of the week where things slowed down and I didn't seem to be getting anything done for one reason or another. Then I sped up near the end, including writing the whole of the Vinyl Maiden trap on Saturday, so the week roughly ended up where I was hoping it would end up.

The 1st draft of the Wall-of-Boobs and Vinyl Maiden traps are written. The Succubus Balloon Bed trap is typed up...

HoHH Notebook Functionality - The Notebook (pt2)

Here is the second half of that monster post on the notebook functionality. Yesterday I went over the things I've roughly sorted out in my head. This post is for the things I'm still working on. This is mainly about the hidden information aspect of HoHH's gameplay and what and when the notebook should reveal. Feedback here would be appreciated.

One of the key features of HoHH is it's intentionally opaque. When a player dies, most of the time they're not going to know why. The Ele...

HoHH Notebook Functionality - The Notebook (pt1)

Given that the proof-of-concept (hopefully) seems to be working okay, I thought I'd talk about the features I'm looking to add to HoHH. First up will be the notebook itself.

HoHH is intended to be a sort of roguelike. As a player, you (probably) won't complete it at the first attempt. You're also (probably) going to die a lot. The meta-progression is learning about the various harlots – which ones can be safely visited, which ones should be avoided with current stats, and what cho...

Hell Harlot - Leppi Navitas

Leppi Navitas is the House's resident fitness fanatic. She likes to fuck men into shape with sexercise. While relatively benign for a lust daemon, the aphrodisiac musk she secretes during love-making can cause some men to over-exert themselves and die, especially if they have pre-existing health problems.

Always sexercise with care!

Update 8th Dec '24

A shortish update this week.

After a blaze of coding and fiddling around with CSS, I got the "little black notebook" demo out for people to try out. I'm hoping that's working fine.

I'll be putting out a series of posts over the next 3 weeks going over aspects of that functionality and my plans there. After that I'll start adding it into the main game and updating the harlot scenarios.

Then, after a couple of slower days to recharge, I was back on The Trapperess scenario...

HoHH Release - Proof-of-Concept Demo for Notebook Functionality

Instead of the usual harlot profile, this week I'll be putting out that demo of new functionality I'd like to add to House of Hellish Harlots.

HoHH is kind of like a roguelike in design. The player starts a run, they encounter a randomised choice of harlots, they play through multiple rounds of harlots until one inevitably kills them, then they restart and try again with the knowledge they learned from the previous run.

Missing from HoHH currently is a way to store that knowledg...

Update 1st Dec '24

After saying I wouldn't have a release ready for the end of the November, I came pretty close to having a release ready.

The work on the new functionality to remember a player's progress between games has dropped into place very nicely.

The basic autosave and autosave functionality is working as I'd like it. I have code to build up a 'notebook' page of information on a harlot across subsequent games and visits. I also have rough replay functionality, so the player can use the ...

Hell Harlot - Huntress Diana and Khruutka

Huntress Diana is one of the huntresses from the infamous Huthswiven Manor. They enjoy hunting men and engaging in perverse acts with those they catch. Khruutka Smucheshta is her faithful hound. Diana likes to set her loose on a man and watch as the feral spumpire sucks all the fluids out of him with a powerful blowjob.

Update 24 Nov '24

A week of various House of Hellish Harlots work.

Art
I have the background images for a Title and Options page. I put the details and references together for the next batch (4 mini-bosses - Temptacia, RWBERIA, The Trapperess and as-yet unnamed slime smother nun) and emailed that off to Marwmellow.

Porting Harlots to HoHH 1.5
This was a side thing. I have been porting some of the mid-tier harlots over, but because it's a sid...

Load/Save and Little Black Notebook Plans for HoHH

In the weekly update post I mentioned I'd been looking into load/save functionality for House of Hellish Harlots, so I thought I'd go into that in more detail.

HoHH was originally envisioned to be a roguelite. Rather than go through a set sequence of 13 harlots, the player is presented with a sequence of 13 random harlots that changes for every run. They're not really expected to survive the first visit, but will come back stronger for each subsequent run. Traditional rogue...

Hell Harlot - Lady Flumpth

This week's harlot is the elegant and refined Lady Flumpth. She uses the shameful pleasures of her body to tempt men to fall to rot and ruin.

Update 17th Nov '24

A busy week spread around multiple HoHH-related things.

I'm still scribbling away on The Trapperess. I think the best way to handle the mini-bosses is to write the core and 1st sex scene, then type them up so I have a template in place to fit the subsequent scenes. I realised this after getting about halfway through her second 'trap' and starting to founder. Her core is now typed up (about 3K words). The first trap is an aphrodisiac slime pit, which is written. I'll get that typed...

Harlot Spotlight - The Elegant Woman

The harlot spotlight series continues with a closer look at the NPCs. As their scenarios are not written, I can't include the raw scripts. But I can preview their full pinup art and talk about my plans for how they will show up in the game. This week we'll be taking a look at The Elegant Woman.

In the code The Elegant Woman is referred to as npcGossip, which pretty much explains her function. She is there to give the player hints and clues about each harlot. Unfortunately...

HoHH 1.5 Update - NPC Portraits (v0.009)

It's a double post today as I got a minor update to HoHH 1.5 finished a little faster than I was expecting.

It is a minor update. The main change was to replace the female NPC placeholder portraits with new art. Currently I'm only planning to do this for the female NPCs. They are going to have harlot scenarios and sex scenes added later, so I commissioned some pin-up art of them early so I can use it for their portraits. The male NPCs won't need pin-up art, so will likely stay with...

Hell Harlot - Sister Squeeze

This week's hell harlot is the sexy supervillainess Sister Squeeze. She loves wrapping up would-be heroes and giving them a good squeeze.

Update 10th Nov '24

This ended up being a bit of a quiet week. I guess I needed a break and took advantage of Monmusu Quest Paradox Chapter 3 finally coming out to take a few days off and recharge. I forgot how grindy that game is!

Keeping with MQP, I've had a few people ask if I'm going to continue the epic walkthrough I was doing on my blog.  The short answer to that is I'...

Harlot Spotlight - Nurse Honey

A slight change of plans for the harlot spotlights this month. The NPC art batch has come back from Marwmellow. Aside from The Madam, which I've already shown off and will be seen again fairly shortly once I put a title page together, these will be very previews. While I'll be adding their portraits to the HoHH 1.5 version as soon as I've fixed some other things, it will be a while before they get their actual harlot scenarios and pinup art to go with it. This also means I won't be in...
