Release 49: Communication

The next couple of updates are going to be focused on making the lategame of Corrupted Saviors (particularly the management of your Forsaken) more intuitive and enjoyable to play.  The distinguishing feature of Corrupted Saviors is that the heroines' corruption is reflected in future gameplay, which means that it's important for the game to support long playthroughs across many loops, so that the corruption inflicted in each loop has consequences for the next.  But because many of the elements of the lategame were developed piecemeal, it's been hard to confirm whether the gameplay and especially the interface are conducive to that kind of experience.  These next updates are going to add the last major gameplay features for the Loop 11 to Loop 20 range of campaign mode, which means that this is also the time to polish the interface and carefully calibrate the game balance.

As the first step of this new push, I've added a new information summary to the Forsaken selection screen which shows the status of your Forsaken roster and a prediction of how their Stamina and Motivation will change at the end of the day.  It's also now possible to set an "end point" for passive corruption training (which will also be shown in the roster summary screen).  Hopefully these tools make it less tedious to manage your forces once you've converted several teams of Chosen to your side.  Feedback on the presentation of this information is welcome.

On the flavor side, this update features a new intermission which can replace the Day 15 interview scene!  The premise for this one is that the Chosen take a bath together to help build their bonds as a new team.  As with the interview, the scene varies depending on the subjects' Tier 1 breaks, and the amount of bonus EE gained is the same between the two scenes.  In campaign mode, the Loop 1 intermission is guaranteed to be the interview and the Loop 3 intermission is guaranteed to be the Chosen bathing together.  The game will also prefer to show the bathing scene when the Core Innocence Chosen has already fought in a previous loop (because of the interview lines implying that this is her first time fighting the Demons), and the interview scene will be preferred when the Chosen have experienced T3 breaks (because the bathing scene involves them acting generally more 'pure').  Aside from that, the intermission is picked randomly.

This update also includes a hefty new vignette, the first in another chain commissioned by Kalloi.  This is an endgame vignette which shows the troubles faced by heavily-corrupted Chosen.  It will appear when all three Chosen are not only hypnotized but have also reached a hypnosis effectiveness which exceeds the usual requirement by 200%.  They also need to all be friendly with each other.  As with the Negotiation chain, there's some extra content planned for Chosen who experience the associated vignettes, but they'll have to wait for the chain to be completed in a future update.

Finally, as part of the gradual work to improve custom sex scenes, the Chosen now have several more clothing items they can pick from when dressing up.  Most of these options are on the lewder side, in order to help deal with the monotony of corrupted Chosen just picking out the same few skimpy clothing items every day.  I'm still working on tweaking the logic there so that their clothing choices have some variety while also remaining appropriate for their corruption level, but the expanded selection should help with that.

There are also various other smaller interface improvements listed in the changelog.  Small improvements like these will continue into the next updates along with the other planned major features.  As I mentioned last month, the game is ready for Angel Chosen to be added.  But thanks to a recent player suggestion, I'm also now planning to add some new options for dealing with Splendor after she joins the Forsaken.  Both of these features will have a big impact on how Loops 11-20 are played, so I'll be doing some preliminary work on both over the next few days before deciding which one is more urgently needed.

Release 48: Devilry

With this update, campaign mode is now another large step closer to being completed, as the fifth Chosen species has been added: Devil Chosen.  Rather than serving evil, Devils in the Corrupted Saviors universe are all about punishing mortals for their sins.  They consist of various subspecies, each of which specializes in punishing a different sin.  Fallen angels who punish sinners in Hell are of course present, but there are also oni who punish those who think themselves undefeatable, or bogeygirls who lurk in wait for anybody who disobeys the rules.

In campaign mode, Devils will show up after Splendor has been defeated, which means that they can appear in Loop 11 at the earliest.  They're very powerful, almost as strong as the bosses themselves, and so the new Devilish Clash scenario only puts you up against a single Devil with two regular human allies.  The abilities of Devil Chosen are based around getting stronger as their allies suffer more ANGST damage, so you have to be very careful about fighting them.  But after they fall to the side of the Demons, their Forsaken abilities are also on a whole new level.

The minor additions for this update include a new item which makes an alternate-universe evil duplicate of one of the Chosen to add to your Forsaken roster, so I imagine that fans of selfcest might find that enjoyable.  A new category of Forsaken customization has also been added, "tools," which allow you to customize how your Forsaken fight against the Chosen.  Currently, the only tool is a permanent-breast-expansion-incuding Demon which can normally only be equipped by Chosen who see the Satisfied Curiosity vignette commissioned by Kalloi.  This is a pretty steep requirement, but all tools will be equippable using cheat mode.

Everything is now in place for Angel Chosen to be added, but I want to collect some feedback about Devil Chosen before I add another species at the same power level.  So, next month is going to be an update focused on flavor content, including a new intermission scene similar to the Day 15 interview (but maybe a bit more sexy).  In the meantime, I'd very much like to hear everybody's thoughts on the new species!

Release 47: Purity

This update's main feature is the ability to designate virgin Chosen as off-limits for any Thralls or Commanders who might want to deflower them.  When this toggle is in effect, the Inseminate action and all associated actions will be replaced with provocation-themed variants.  Gameplay-wise, these function the same - rather than traumatizing the Chosen through penetration, the Demons instead force the Chosen to use especially violent methods to defend themselves.  These both result in Morality Break, more FEAR and HATE damage, more sinful coping mechanisms, and so on.  But the difference is that it's now possible to put the Chosen on Morality-breaking corruption paths while still saving their virginity for later or even letting them remain virginal indefinitely.  For those who play with male Chosen, the toggle functions for them as well (though of course it deals with anal virginity rather than vaginal virginity).

Another major addition is the ability to have custom sex scenes with more than two participants.  This doesn't yet work with Chosen (because there's more work necessary to make them respond in reasonable ways), but the player can now gather together a group with arbitrarily-many Forsaken and then either let them play with each other or join in personally.  The implementation is still a bit rough around the edges, because even though I tried to future-proof it as best I could, there are still some parts that were written with only two participants in mind, and those parts might come across as a bit awkward with three or more.  But at least it's now possible to have a big happy orgy with all your fallen heroines.  Now the custom sex scene system just needs to be fleshed out with more options to give everybody something to do.

Additionally, this update includes a new "attitude toward penis" system for female and futanari characters, commissioned by SqueeNoEvil.  Futanari characters will have an opinion about having a penis, and this opinion will be influenced by their personality but will not be wholly dependent on it.  Some futanari characters will be proud of their penises, others will be ashamed to have one, others still will have mixed feelings, and those who have been thoroughly corrupted will have opinions colored by their corruption.  While futanari are enabled, there will even be some female Chosen who have fantasies of growing a penis and will be happy to do so.  Much of the flavor text and dialogue has had variants added which take penis attitude into account, and the attitude may also be directly checked in the body stats menu.  This system can be considered a trial run of a more extensive attitude system which gives the Chosen dynamic opinions on a variety of matters.

As always, this update comes with various small tweaks and bugfixes.  When Defiler actions were made available to all sufficiently-corrupted Forsaken last update, there was an oversight in that Distorted Forsaken weren't exempt from the Obedience requirement (as they are for Punisher positions).  That has been fixed.  The permanent collar from the Descent of Guilt vignette chain has also now been technically added to the game, though its numerical effects will need to wait for the next batch of custom sex scene actions.

Next update will be the first new species introduction in quite awhile: Devil Chosen.  This will represent another big step forward toward the completion of campaign mode, so I hope that everybody looks forward to it!

Release 46: Surrender

Where the last few releases were about customizing the initial state of the Chosen, the next couple of releases will be about customizing how they're corrupted.  There are a few new features added in this release, and I'm hopeful that most players will be interested in at least one of them.

First off, a new body shift commissioned by SqueeNoEvil has been added to the game.  When it's toggled on, futanari Chosen who experience Tier-2 Dignity Break (that is, being Broadcasted for the first time) will lose their penises due to the collective desire of the public to see them as fully female.  As with all body shifts, this is toggled on an individual Chosen basis, and so Chosen from previous versions will default to remaining futanari unless the player goes to their individual profile and toggles their shift preferences.

Tangentially related to the above, there has been a fairly significant balance change in that Forsaken no longer require special training to perform Defiler actions (although the bonus they get from having that training is still very large).  The flavor for Forsaken achieving Vulnerability Breaks against the Chosen is pretty detailed, especially when a body shift is involved, so I'd highly recommend that players who haven't seen them yet give it a try.  The Forsaken Reference .txt file has been updated with the details of the new loosened requirements.

Another major flavor addition is the ability to deflower the Chosen during custom sex scenes.  This involved separating Morality Break from virginity status, a task that had already been half-completed with the addition of Chosen motherhood a little while back.  The Chosen still can't be taken against their will in custom sex scenes - if their HATE gets high enough to break their Sexual Barrier, then they'll flee.  But with Innocence Break and Confidence Break, it's very possible to get them to consent to sex, especially on the Negotiation Distortion path, and they also may be willing to give their virginity to a former partner or other loved one sent to meet them.  There will be a purple text announcement whenever a Sexual Barrier goes down.

Finally, the clothing overhaul from last update has been expanded to apply to custom sex scenes as well.  Characters will dress up appropriately before heading out depending on their corruption, their feelings regarding who they're meeting, and whether they'll be seen by the public.  New actions have been added for undressing oneself and others, and characters will use those actions according to what kind of sex acts they want to perform.

The next update will contain more content along these lines: the option to preserve Chosen virginity regardless of Morality Break will be added, and custom sex scenes will see an even greater expansion of possibilities.  We're approaching the end of the customization push, after which more gameplay content will be coming.

Release 45: Adornment

This update continues the recent push toward improved customization options for the Chosen.  Previously, Chosen outfits were extremely simple.  They consisted of chest clothing, hips clothing, and sometimes footwear and panties.  This has been replaced by an extremely flexible system where Chosen outfits may contain any number of articles of clothing, and each article of clothing has its own list of which body parts it covers.  The old default outfits have been moved to this new system, and players can also make their own detailed outfits for custom Chosen.  The improved custom clothing interface also now allows players to set Chosen to use an outfit normally reserved for another personality type, or to write up their own fancy transformation paragraph to go with a custom outfit.

Although the main focus here was improving customization, there are also some downstream effects which should prove enjoyable even for players using a completely default roster.  When examining Chosen, the game will now generate a paragraph describing their current clothing.  And when the Chosen take clothing damage during battle, this paragraph will be updated appropriately - there's a small random element to which parts of each article of clothing are destroyed when hitting any given EXPO level, and the Regenerate move will also repair clothing randomly, so these descriptions should have plenty of variety even when examining the same Chosen across multiple battles.

As a convenient showcase of the new clothing system, the commissioned content from last month has been updated.  The "From the Descent of Guilt" vignette now actually gives the subject a pair of persistent nipple piercings which will be mentioned whenever viewed while topless, and the new Tempt variants now change the subject's worn clothing (while also making the Thralls more reluctant to damage the kinky outfit).  Furthermore, when Tempting a target who has suffered Total Dignity Break, the exhibitionistic outfit she adopts will become a permanent fixture of her Chosen transformation.

I've done as much as I can to smooth the transition to the new system, but a rework as big as this one rarely goes off without a hitch.  In particular, because of the huge number of options when designing clothing, the customization interface on the player's end is pretty clunky.  It's also not practical for me to check every possible combination of clothing coverage to make sure that the examination descriptions flow naturally.  Player feedback is very welcome on both of these points, because I'm interested in improving them as time goes on.

Saves should be compatible between this version and the last one, but because the game has no way of knowing what the player had in mind when making custom clothes in the previous versions, the coverage will just use a set of default clothing designs.  Players who want to make the fullest of the new system will have to remake their custom Chosen, but this should be a one-time affair.  Currently, the clothing description paragraph is lacking in some ways (notably it doesn't cover armwear, headwear, the from-behind view, and some types of open clothing).  But once the paragraph is improved, it will retroactively be able to produce the improved description for outfits designed in this version.

The next update will focus on custom sex scenes, which will include updating them to use the new clothing system.  This will allow crotchless panties and such to actually be relevant, and it will also enable more corruption-highlighting content in that Chosen and Forsaken will be able to make varying decisions for what to wear as civilians.  This will also be a good chance to add some more sex actions that have been on hold for a long time, so I hope that you'll all be looking forward to it!

Release 44: Metamorphosis

The focus of this update was the expansion of the body asset size system introduced in the last update, but there's a bunch of other content and balance adjustments as well.  Body dimensions can now be customized, and there's a new optional system for Forsaken where the body shift can be accomplished in-game by fulfilling certain missions against the Chosen.  These missions can be used to expand your Forsaken's assets to hyper-proportioned sizes.

These sizes will be reflected both in the flavor text and, if the appropriate cheat setting is turned on, in their combat performance.  There's a new sub-menu in the options menu where the player can look at all the size-associated combat modifiers and toggle them separately.  Most of them increase how much damage your Forsaken deal, so they make the game a bit easier.  But even for players who prefer to play without reduced difficulty, the damage modifiers and flavor text will still apply to custom sex scenes.  Penetrative actions in particular can turn out very differently depending on the relative sizes involved.

On the gameplay front, the main addition is the ability to "skip" certain campaign loops by fulfilling some special conditions.  These conditions are listed in the new "campaign map" file included with the download.  They aren't easy, and they mean skipping some opportunities to add Forsaken to your roster, but the bonus Influence points (for generating powerful items) may be worth it.  If every possible loop skip is taken, then the Loop 10 boss fight will be only the 5th loop of the campaign.  For any players who have been intimidated by the prospect of starting a long campaign playthrough, this might be a good time to try it out.

There's also been a slew of balance adjustments, most notably to the three weakest campaign starting items.  Unicorn Lard and Inferno Pepper simply grant more energy later in campaign mode, while Tomorrow's Newspaper has been completely reworked to make Demon Commanders and their associated upgrades more attractive.  See the changelog for the rest of the changes.

Finally, there's also been some more commissioned flavor text added to the game.  Kalloi's Negotiation vignette chain which a lot of players have seemed to enjoy has had its conclusion written and added.  The subscriber Elmsdor has also commissioned some more variants to the Tempt moves in combat (including both surrounded variants with Thralls and a variant when captured by a Tempted Forsaken).  These commissions both involve some changes to the Chosen's wardrobe, and while the game currently doesn't have the ability to make these changes persistent, that's exactly what I'm going to be working on next month.

The main focus of the next update will be the clothing system overhaul.  I've gotten a lot of requests from players wanting to make custom Chosen with as much detail in their flavor text as the default Chosen, so this should give them all that and then some.

Release 43: Fortification

This update marks the beginning of a push toward better customization content, although it does have one major gameplay addition.  The "Strategic Advantage" system now activates upon starting Loop 12 of campaign mode (and there's also a new single play scenario featuring the system for those who want to give it a try immediately).  When Strategic Advantage is enabled, dealing damage to the Chosen will grant the player points which can be used to seize objectives in the city.  Each objective gives a different unique bonus, like causing some of the damage dealt to the Chosen to carry over into the next day.  This should make for some more interesting gameplay decisions when it isn't yet possible to inflict a new level of Vulnerability Break on the Chosen, but a new objective is still in reach to be seized.

The majority of the work for this update went into flavor content.  There are some new story scenes, including a series for Victory's boss fight to match the one that Splendor already had.  Chosen and Forsaken can now refer to each other with personalized nicknames and titles - this includes both nicknames set by the player during Chosen customization and nicknames they decide to start using depending on events which occur during the game.  Friendly Chosen can pick nicknames depending on personality, family relationship, and on the vignettes they experience together.  Rival Chosen can pick nicknames depending on the negative Vulnerability Break scenes that turned them into rivals.  I think this does a lot to make the characters and their relationships feel more alive, and there's more that I want to do with this system later.

Finally, this update includes some very brief preliminary work on tracking characters' asset sizes, complete with simple Mendelian inheritance mechanics happening under the hood.  Only breast size, hip size, and penis size are currently tracked, but it will be very simple to add more traits in subsequent updates.  They also only show up in a couple of places (Chosen sex stats screen and Forsaken customize body screen) and can only be influenced in a couple of ways (experiencing first pregnancy, and the Satisfied Curiosity vignette added last update).  More customization options and gameplay interactions are planned.  And for players who prefer for asset sizes to remain up to the player's imagination, this can all be toggled off in the content options menu.

The next update will introduce another major gameplay feature, because I want to add a quicker way for experienced players to access lategame campaign content without having to play through a bunch of loops they've already cleared before.  But aside from that, I want to continue to focus on customization and flavor content for at least one more month.  As excited as I am to push forward into the next stage of campaign mode, I think it's important to make sure that the journey there has plenty of content first.

Another boss is introduced in this update, completing the first pair.  The new boss is named Splendor, and upon reaching Loop 10 in campaign mode, players will be able to choose between her and Victory when deciding who to face first.  Whoever isn't faced in Loop 10 will appear in Loop 15 (and for saves which were already deep into campaign mode before moving to this update, the bosses can also appear in any later loop that's a multiple of 5).  Splendor also has a unique single play scenario where you face her, although the amount of items you're given for that scenario is much smaller.

You might reasonably wonder why Splendor's scenario gives you fewer resources if the two bosses are meant to be equivalent.  The answer is that many of the challenges presented by Splendor aren't applicable to single play mode.  Where Victory represents the pinnacle of active resistance, Splendor represents the pinnacle of passive resistance, causing trouble for you even after you've "defeated" her.

Because Splendor is the leader of the Undead Chosen, this also seemed like a good time to introduce some other Undead-related features.  A notable balance change is that Undead Chosen can now survive being "killed" in the final battle - they're treated just as if they managed to escape normally.  So, getting their allies to kill them is still useful for the sake of neutralizing the team, but it doesn't actually remove them from the game.  On a similar note, there's now a fair amount of content written around normal and Superior Chosen being killed in the final battle and returning as Undead Chosen.  If you have a particular Chosen you like, and you want her to become an "advanced" species so that she'll still be relevant later in campaign mode, this is a method to make it happen.  In order for a Chosen to be promoted like this, there must be no other Chosen who manage to escape from the final battle - it's fine to turn them into Forsaken, but as soon as any of them escape while remaining Chosen, the game stops looking for a dead Chosen to revive.

More content has been written for bosses in general as well, which means that Victory also has a bit more to make her special.  Victory and Splendor have some unique interactions with each other depending on how they meet (such as which of them were defeated first and whether Victory was put on a Distortion path).  In order to break up the monotony of the boss loop, Splendor also has a few extra story scenes which play as you progress.  If this goes over well, I plan on going back and writing some similar scenes for Victory's loop too.

Finally, there's a new vignette commissioned by Kalloi (who also happened to provide some interesting ideas for Splendor's design which made it into her portrait art).  This vignette has some body modification themes, in anticipation of the body-asset-size-tracking system which is coming very soon.  It can be found by Minor Innocence Chosen on the Negotiation Distortion path, so they finally have one to go along with the Core and Significant Innocence Negotiation scenes.

Next up, I'll be spending some more time on relationship and custom sex scene content, but I also hope to nail down some game mechanics ideas I've been planning in order to make the campaign mode midgame more interesting.  After that, it'll be time to add the next pair of new species: Angels and Devils, which will start taking an interest in the player after Victory and Splendor have fallen.

Release 41: Victory

This update marks another major milestone in the development of campaign mode: the addition of the first "boss fight" loop.  The boss fights of Corrupted Saviors will follow the pattern of putting the player up against an especially powerful pre-defined Chosen and her two randomly-generated attendants.  The first such opponent is Unbending Warrior Victory, the leader of the Animalistic Chosen.  She guards one of the city choices for Loop 10 of campaign mode, and she also has a scenario where you can face her, so feel free to try beating her if you want a challenge!

Victory is the first Chosen you can fight who has a pre-defined personality.  However, you can still customize her name and sex.  And having her be pre-defined has made it possible to give her a lot more customized writing for each corruption path.  When encountering her in campaign mode, starting the loop will display a new multi-part story scene, which I've used to experiment with more segmented display for descriptions and dialogue.  I'll be trying to move toward using this system more for future scenes, rather than the current entire-scene-appears-at-once system.

For players who are mostly interested in using the game to corrupt their own custom-made opponents, this update also includes a long-awaited treat.  It's now possible to make custom Chosen for campaign mode which don't fit the usual personality distribution rules.  Victory herself makes use of this system, as she doesn't have any Minor Vulnerabilities.  Chosen who are flagged as being allowed to break the usual personality rules will also be allowed to team up with any other Chosen, including those who have personality overlaps or personal relationships with them, so you can also encounter family members and such in the same loop.  The Chosen-to-Chosen interaction scenes still don't really account for Chosen who have personal relationships with each other, but I should be able to improve those pretty soon.

Finally, this update also adds another vignette to the Guilty Service->Guilty Desire chain commissioned by Kalloi.  This one is special in that it has a unique effect on the Chosen who experiences it: afterwards, you can meet her in custom sex scenes at the S&M Club location, even though that location is normally reserved for Forsaken.  This is the start of a push to give vignettes special flavor effects for Chosen who experience them, so I plan on going back through old vignettes and adding similar little acknowledgements of how they left an impact on the subject.  Additionally, like Guilty Desire, the new vignette has a variant depending on whether the subject has been met out-of-battle by one of the Forsaken.

My immediate plans from here involve starting work on the second boss Chosen, the vampire who leads the Undead.  After that, there are some more improvements I want to make to custom sex scenes and the relationship system, but I don't want to delay for too long before adding the Angel and Devil Chosen species to the game.  Now that the boss system is functional, I'm also interested in adding optional bosses designed by subscribers - this strikes me as a way to let dedicated fans get their own desired content into the game in a way that other players can enjoy as well.

Release 40: Reproduction

This is the update which finally introduces the ability for characters to get pregnant with humans, not just with Demons.  As part of this addition, the system for handling family relationships while the family relations toggle is active has been significantly expanded.  Instead of generating family members as they're needed, the system will now determine the immediate family of every Chosen as soon as that Chosen enters the game, and this information can be viewed from their profiles.  If you defeat one of the Chosen and use her as bait, the game will draw from this list of family members to decide who to send at you.

When deciding when to add the new parent and offspring relationships, the game makes use of a new content toggle which sets what percentage of the Chosen are mothers.  At 0% (the default setting), all family relationships will be sibling relationships, which was the way it worked in previous updates.  At higher settings, it becomes more likely to run into Chosen who have given birth.  Chosen mothers are, of course, non-virgins, and a significant amount of alternative flavor text has been written to replace the default virginity-related text related to Tier-2 Morality Break.  The opposite situation (Chosen who retain their virginity even after Tier-2 Morality Break) will require even more alternative flavor text to be written, but it is in the works.

For players who prefer for Chosen to start out as virgins (and who therefore set the motherhood rate to 0%), this update still offers ways to expand Chosen families during play.  A second new toggle allows the player to specify how likely the Forsaken are to be impregnated during custom sex scenes.  Female Forsaken (and male Forsaken who were given an anal womb during their time as Chosen) who aren't already pregnant can become pregnant every time they have sex.  To make this easier, the action weights for custom sex scenes have been temporarily adjusted so that participants who are interested in sex will skip the foreplay and go straight for penetration.  The Demon Lord can participate in this as well - Demon Lord bodies with penises can impregnate the Forsaken, and Demon Lords with wombs of their own can become pregnant and give birth as well.

One of the traits of the Corrupted Saviors universe is that time flows faster in some places than in others.  The offspring of Forsaken parents will automatically be sent out for adoption in cities where the flow of time runs very quickly.  After a few loops, they'll awaken to their own Chosen powers and will return in hopes of rescuing and/or defeating their parents.  Currently, this will only happen in campaign mode - figuring out how this should all work across multiple single play games will be a bit trickier.

As with all simulation features, there's a lot more that could be done here, but I don't want to get too occupied with flavor content that won't appeal to everybody while there are still major gameplay features to add.  This update does have a few minor balance tweaks: Undead Chosen were probably a bit too easy to cheese by farming them for EE on early days, so they now no longer give bonus Evil Energy for non-core Breaks.  On the other hand, Chosen with high T4 Break progress will now "burn out" and become weaker - their T3 move effects will now be one level lower when their punisher effectiveness gets high enough to open them to T4 breaks, and will drop by another level after the T4 Break has actually happened.  The Showy Publicist Forsaken Punisher effect (which adds ANGST to the entire team of Chosen when achieving Total Dignity Break) has also been buffed to deal exponentially more ANGST depending on the Forsaken's Dignity.

Finally, a new location has been added for custom sex scenes: an S&M-themed love hotel.  Currently, this is a very minor addition, just involving some flavor text when starting the scene and slightly changing the modifiers for "damage" experienced during the scene.  But it's related to the Negotiation vignette chain commissioned by Kalloi, so it'll be picking up some extra functionality in future releases.

Release 39: Mediation

This update adds an option I've been talking about wanting for awhile now - the ability to put Chosen and Forsaken into custom sex scenes with each other!  This involved significant refinement of the code that custom sex scene partners use to pick their actions, some of which will probably be noticeable in sex scenes involving the Demon Lord as well.  The system works pretty well for when the participants have high Deviancy and a good relationship with each other.  It gets rougher when they're lacking either lust or affection - they might get frustrated with each other and start slinging insults, or they might just keep awkwardly praising each other without actually doing anything sexual.  It will get a lot better once I add the ability for custom sex scene partners to actively perform bondage and domination for proper hatesex, and once I add more cute-but-not-quite-sexual interactions for friends, both of which should be coming soon.  Hopefully the existing content is enough to hold your interest until then.

Linked with the above, I've also added the new Ambassador position for Forsaken.  This allows you to send the subject in your place to Approach the Chosen for a custom sex scene.  You can use your Ambassador to initiate the Negotiation Distortion just like you can by sending your own Demon Lord body.  This is currently just a flavor text difference, and much of the text surrounding the Negotiation Distortion can come across as a bit strange if you haven't actually approached the subject in person yet, but it will all tie in nicely to my plans for further improvements to the relationship system.

On the gameplay front, the main addition for this update is the new Retry/Reset buttons added to combat and Forsaken training.  I've always intended for Corrupted Saviors to be a game with minimal randomness where the player is given perfect information about enemy behavior and the challenge is to identify the best possible result for the player's long-term plans.  In practice, because it isn't practical to diagram the Chosen response to every possible player action in advance, this means that experimenting with different sequences of action is necessary to see what happens, and that has required a bunch of tedious time spent in the save and load menus.  The ability to just go straight back to the start of the encounter should make the game's qualify of life feel much better.

A new vignette commissioned by Kalloi has also been added to the game, and this is the first vignette which acts as a continuation of a previous vignette.  Players aiming to put the Core Morality Chosen onto the Negotiation Distortion path will often run across it naturally, but the main condition to note is that the target Chosen must be Approached before the Negotiation Distortion is formally started.  There's a substantial variation on the vignette depending on whether the subject was Approached by the Demon Lord or by an Ambassador Forsaken, so be sure to try out both options!  Another minor addition is the tracking of individual Chosen sex acts - while this doesn't yet have any extra content tied to it, the player can now view the Chosen's exact sex act counts at any time, which might prove interesting for anyone curious about just how much masturbation they get up to at each increasing level of Innocence Break.

With the new additions to Chosen sex stat tracking and custom sex scene mechanics, some features that were previously far out of reach have suddenly become low-hanging fruit.  Namely, it's now possible for future releases to introduce alternative flavors for Breaks which involve different sex acts but share the same gameplay mechanics.  This will allow both for virgin Chosen with Morality Break and for non-virgin Chosen who have yet to experience Morality Break.  And this, in turn, will pave the way for MILF Chosen, including Chosen who are the mothers of other Chosen.  After that, of course, the door will be open for Forsaken breeding programs, inheritable body traits, and so on.  I think it'll be worth the time to start on this content before making the leap into implementing boss fights.

Release 38: Anastasis

With this update, another new species of opponent is now available: Undead Chosen!  These Chosen are those who remember experiencing some sort of "death."  They include heroes who died in battle against the Demons but were revived through the faith of the public, monsters of the night created by practitioners of necromantic arts, and ghosts who somehow remained attached to the world of the living.  Regardless of their origin, all of these Undead Chosen possess a suite of powers which makes them quite tricky to defeat despite their relatively frail, insubstantial nature.

Starting in Loop 5 of campaign mode, the first city option will always be defended by at least one Undead Chosen and the second city option will always be defened by at least one Animalistic Chosen.  In later loops, Undead and Animalistic Chosen can even be found on teams together.  They have roughly the same degree of difficulty, but their gameplay mechanics are quite different.  The species reference file has been updated to include details on Undead Chosen, and the new Undead Clash scenario has been added for players who wish to practice against them outside of campaign mode.

This update has a bit of new sexual content relevant to the new species.  The bodies of Chosen and Forsaken can now be made out of ghostly ectoplasm (used by some undead subspecies) or translucent slime (currently only used when specifically picked during customization).  Amorphous penetration actions have been added for when one custom sex scene participant is made of one of these materials and the other has a penis.  Additionally, the body's sexual experience and the mind's sexual experience are now tracked separately.  This currently only comes up for Undead Aversion-Distorted Chosen (because the player gains the ability to completely rewrite the subject's mind), but it opens the door to a lot of possession and mind-manipulation content for the future.

Unrelated to Undead Chosen, another vignette commissioned by Kalloi has been added to the game, this one between an Aversion Chosen and a Rampancy Chosen who have a friendly relationship.  It's now also possible to encounter a loved one of your Bait Forsaken during single play mode, so players who enjoy that aspect of the game can enjoy it even without playing through a campaign.

Finally, there's the usual set of bugfixes and balance adjustments.  Notably, the Empathy endgame upgrade has been reworked to make it more viable to let friendships develop between the Chosen.  During the final battle, when the upgrade has been bought, Chosen with Unbreakable Friendships will now absolutely refuse to kill each other when the surrounded/captured Chosen has at least 50% Resolve, regardless of how corrupted that Chosen is.  This gives you a lot more time to convert the Chosen, but it also means that you can't rely on them killing each other for you, so it's an upgrade that should only be taken with caution.

The next update will be focused on custom sex scenes, although I do have a few gameplay features I'd like to squeeze into it if I have the time.  After that, it'll be time to start working on the last major feature planned for campaign mode: boss fights.
