Release 57: Cooperation

This update mainly consists of a few moderately-sized content additions that made sense to package together.  The main one is an addition to custom sex scenes which allows certain actions to "merge" together when performed by different characters on the same target.  This means that it's now possible to see multi-blowjobs, multi-cunnilingus, multi-handjobs, multi-footjobs, and multi-thighsex ("pussy sandwich" style).  This should make group sex a lot more interesting, and the other additions were picked to make the most of this.

Group sex involving Forsaken was already possible, but now there are also a couple of ways to have group sex with the Chosen.  You can now use "Observe" to watch all three of them together.  Furthermore, when all three are valid Negotiation targets, you can Approach and Negotiate with all of them at once (which progresses all three of them along the Distortion path with the same click).  They'll service you together, and naturally, you can still also send your Forsaken Ambassador to be serviced by them in your stead.  The latter option should now be a bit more interesting as well, because custom sex scene NPC logic been updated to let them switch between different sex acts without player input, keeping the scene a bit more fresh instead of getting stuck doing the same action over and over.

If you still prefer to participate in custom sex scenes yourself, there's another added feature: the "Player" folder has been added to the portrait pack, which is used by default to represent the Demon Lord during custom sex scenes.  The included pack has only one expression, but the game supports using a more expressive pack (and will change the displayed portrait so that the Demon Lord reacts to being praised, insulted, etc.) or making more portrait folders for different Demon Lord bodies.

This update also introduces a new character attitude: how much they like or dislike experiencing orgasm denial.  Although this addition was mainly in preparation for an upcoming vignette chain, it also introduces a sort of minigame for custom sex scenes.  Participants who reach high PLEA (>1000) who don't get to cum before the end of the scene will either learn to enjoy it (if they like the other participants) or grow annoyed with it (if they don't).  When they experience ruined orgasms (by passing an orgasm threshold while not experiencing direct genital stimulation), they develop a stronger negative attitude toward orgasm denial, regardless of who's responsible.  But if they then experience a large orgasm after a ruined orgasm, they'll start to become addicted to orgasm denial, again regardless of who's responsible.  Characters who hate orgasm denial will become much more aggressive about seeking their own pleasure in custom sex scenes, while characters who enjoy orgasm denial will be more generous about giving pleasure with no regard for their own orgasm.  Players who enjoy futanari or genderbent Chosen will recognize that this system shares some elements with the "attitude toward own penis" system introduced awhile back, and that system has also been updated with some deeper custom sex scene interaction.  Eventually, I'd like to expand this framework to include more fetishes and other sexual preferences as well.

To make it easier to interact with the above system, I've also added a new custom sex scene action: caress (and its merged variants).  This one gives a decent chunk of pleasure without actually causing orgasm by itself, so it's well-suited to orgasm denial play.  The Mark of the Succubus (unlocked through the Lilith's Awakening vignette) is also very useful there.

Finally, the update also includes the usual bit of bugfixes and adjustments that come after a new boss fight.  I've also been getting some help with improving the code in general, although hopefully this shouldn't result in any noticeable changes to the way the game performs.  Now that those are taken care of, we'll be moving straight ahead to the next boss fight, featuring Love, leader of the Angel Chosen!
