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.

  1. Cool, new version! Found a crash bug, though.
    This is the day after using Negotiation on War for the first time.

    Load file 1: crashbug
    Info
    War--then it hangs
    I think it's trying to load something in the description that it isn't finding. War was Negotiated with my Ambassador if that matters/helps.

    1. Thanks for the bug report. This has been fixed in R46b.

  2. Undead chosen customization works now, thank you. A new problem is if you customize the subspecies it skips bodytype selection(breasts/butt/waist).

    1. Looks like this bug only escaped detection because the other bug was standing in the way. In any case, this one is also fixed in R46b.

  3. Found supposedly an oversight with futa Chosen not showing her vaginal penetration amount stat in "stats" option from "info" menu. For penetration stats there is only anal.
    I can confirm that game still takes into account that she has virginity intact and you can take it by meeting with them.

    There is also a typo where "Examine" misplaced with "Exmaine" in options during "Negotiation" with the Chosen.

    I've also experienced a small bug but couldn't recreate it so far, so I'll just let you know how it behaves so that maybe it'll be a bit helpful.
    Effect was that during battle it kinda broke Chosen's "examine" option, which started to either showing "---" or previous turn damage, and literally nothing else for the rest of battle. It happened after a lot of moves. All of my Chosen were going Distortion paths. I'll try to get more details next time I happen to encounter it.

    1. As for the vaginal penetration stat it appears after you do it at least once to her, seemingly. It wasn't showing when it was 0.

    2. Found another small misbehavior.
      Here's the save file, Slot 1, "2nd City": https://mega.nz/folder/mvBBBZQA#qpb1mlETlTj5gOKkREfpRg

      To recreate: Info -> Freedom's Profile -> Approach -> Send Ambassador -> Back Alley. At this point you'll see Axiom Chosen portrait appearing on the right panel, despite the fact that my ambassador is Smile. Might be because they share the same avatar picture.
      Switching ambassador to a different Forsaken fixes it.

      I know it's insignificant but if there's an oversight it may get worse effects later.

    3. And experienced a crash.
      Added the save file to the link above in folder "2".
      Load Slot 1, "2nd City", go into info tab and click "Freedom's profile". Part of the description load but then it just freezes.

    4. Thanks for the bug reports! Most of these have been fixed in R46b. I haven't been able to replicate the Examine button crash, but if it pops up again, let me know. The portrait problem is known issue caused by a quirk in the way the portrait system is coded, so it'll take some more time before I can fix it.

  4. Is there an easy way to edit option settings for a campaign in progress? I would like to be able to incorporate some new features without having to start from scratch, or just change some content options.

    1. Toggling the purely-flavor content options in the menu should also carry over the options to existing save files (although if you quit the game without saving, the options will reset to whatever they were the last time you saved). Gameplay-affecting options can't be changed for campaigns in progress, though.

  5. Hello.
    Found a crash bug.

    Here's the save file:
    https://mega.nz/folder/DnpVWAhT#5_nUfJgxKuytp5B4f1u5oQ

    Load:
    Slot 1 (most recent), New Campaign

    Engage Honey
    1) Capture
    2) Barrier
    3) Barrier
    4) Barrier
    5) Barrier
    6) Justice - Threaten
    7) Justice - Attack
    8) Honey - Capture
    9) Honey - Drain
    10) Justice - Surround - Caress
    11) Justice - Pummel
    12) Justice - Surround - Pummel
    13) Prayer - Surround - Caress
    14) Prayer - Pummel
    15) Honey - Surround - Grind
    16) Honey - Pummel
    17) Justice - Taunt
    18) Prayer - Threaten
    19) Prayer - Surround - Inseminate
    20) Honey - Attack
    Then Justice performs Striptease action and game crashes.

    (P.S. Would be nice to have action log somewhere, backtracking your actions can be a pain in the ass sometimes)

    1. Also, while I'm here a few suggestions that I find neat:

      1) What Influence does? I understand that right now having only two options don't give much decision making over influence stat but as a future potential it would be nice to have something like a bit of roguelike campaign, getting different amounts of Influence to buy items/effects for it. Or permanent "prestige" effects like having more/better choices of cities after finishing one.

      2) Can we turn off yellow highlights for surrounded Chosen if accessible defiler move will prevent distortion? Despite the fact that this action is highlighted in red, in the menu of all Chosen that character name will still be yellow even if there is no yellow options inside, only red ones.

      3) Ability to train until certain stat. Like for example if I want to train Forsaken for Hostility but only until they get 30+. I don't want to keep in mind each day how much turns has passed since I sent my Forsaken on that training while they had only 16 Hostility. Frankly I can simply forget about it and that adds nervousness. In my opinion would be nice if training just stopped when meeting that criteria as well as commander option would turn green, signifying that some Forsaken reached training threshold.

    2. Thanks for the bug report! It's been fixed in R47. To answer your questions:

      1) This is something I've been considering. Allowing a little more flexibility in item choice is probably a good idea.

      2) That makes sense, I'll add it to my to-do list.

      3) This is also a good idea. I'll see about improving the interface there.

  6. It keeps freezing when I'm customizing the clothing.

    1. Thanks for the bug report, but without further information, I don't have any way to narrow down where exactly the bug is. If you can tell me what exactly you're doing when the freeze happens, or even provide a screenshot or something, I'll have better odds of being able to fix it.
