Release 14: Climax

This release implements the final battle on Day 50, where the Chosen either defeat the Demon Lord and save the city, or else end up defeated themselves and lose their powers or even their lives.  The endings and training mechanics still aren't in yet, which means that both outcomes just move you forward to Day 51 so you can keep messing around with the team, but you can at least get a preview of the various fates in store for defeated Chosen (and even some of the victorious Chosen).

The final battle introduces a couple of new mechanics, so it might be wise to save beforehand in order to give yourself an opportunity to see how they work in practice.  Once you're close to the final battle (meaning either you're past Day 45 or you have at least one of the upgrades that lets you damage Resolve), you can check the Chosen's profiles to see how they'll act and how you can beat them.  There are a few distinct strategies that can be used to win, so I look forward to seeing which ones are most popular.

• Content: The final battle has been implemented, including a couple of unique mechanics.  See the readme for more information.

• Bugfix: Another crash related to very high damage multipliers has been resolved.
• Bugfix: Using cheats to encounter the third Chosen before the second has had a chance to be introduced will no longer sometimes result in their relationships not initializing properly.

Release 14b:

Release 14c:

• Bugfix: The game will no longer freeze up with no usable options when the last Chosen in the final battle is surrounded or captured.
• Bugfix: The final battle will no longer suffer a crash related to the game getting confused about who's defeated and who's not.

Release 13: Preparation

This update comes just after the anniversary of the first public release of Corrupted Saviors.  The past year of development has been focused on setup for the Chosen's fall to the side of the Demons.  The coming year will be focused on the payoff.  The update following this one will implement the final battle.

As for the current update, its most notable feature is the new event on Day 45.  This event isn't as sexual as the last one, but it provides an overview of how the Chosen will be faring as they head into the final battle.  A new cheat will allow even players who have progressed their files beyond Day 45 to see this new content.

Additionally, the final tier of upgrades has been added.  This tier is larger than the others at 8 upgrades, although 2 of the upgrades have no function until the final battle and 4 more have effects which are fairly minor until the final battle.  However, the last 2 upgrades are high-impact Commander abilities, including the ability to combine a Punisher, a Defiler, and a Suppressor on the same body.  There are 64 different Punisher/Defiler/Suppressor combinations, and while I wasn't able to add unique flavor to as many of the combinations as I would have liked, it should still let you break some Vulnerabilities in new scenarios.

I hope you all enjoy this update and look forward to the next one!

Release 12: Punishment

 This update adds both the seventh tier of upgrades and the final level of corruption.  Four of the upgrades are new Commander types, each of which is associated with one of the vulnerabilities.  These new "Punisher"-class Commanders are cheap to use and deal extremely focused damage to a circumstance and the associated trauma, which makes them useful for targeting specific trauma thresholds while leaving the others relatively untouched.

However, the new Commanders reach their full potential against Chosen who are already corrupt enough to use sinful tactics in combat.  Every time the Chosen use one of those sinful abilities (Slaughter, Fantasize, Detonate, and Striptease), they become permanently weaker against the associated Commander.  Past a certain point, the Commanders become capable of impregnating, hypnotizing, draining energy, and possessing and altering the clothing of the Chosen.  Each of these corruptions will open up a method to completely defeat the Chosen once the final battle is implemented, and will also affect the options for what to do with them after they've fallen.

• Content: Added the seventh tier of upgrades, all of which are Commander abilities.  The new Commander types can't yet be combined with the old ones, but they introduce some new types of content that weren't available before.  Another notable upgrade is the ability to capture Chosen who are already flying over the battlefield.
• Content: Added the final tier of corruption.  The new set of core break scenes is less sexually-focused than the previous ones, but it does finally make it so that any team of Chosen can now be made mutual enemies, regardless of which vulnerabilities start broken.
• Content: Added a new set of downtime actions and profile updates for the new corruption tier.
• Balance: The rate of damage falloff for every order of magnitude above 1 trillion has been increased from 50% to 80%.
• Bugfix: Corrected some incorrect Commander descriptions during the scenes where the Chosen escape.

Release 11: Mitigation

 The main feature of this update is the addition of the most powerful defiler action, Orgy, which acts as the last step above the upgraded defiler actions added in the previous update.  When all three Chosen are hit by the same defiler action, they all get caught together in an attack which deals all of the damage types at once, regardless of which action was used to initiate it.  The Orgy action follows the same rules about letting all the targets escape as soon as any of them do, and it doesn't break any vulnerabilities on its own, but it gets a stack of modifiers based on relationships and previously-broken vulnerabilities that makes it very strong even when it's only applied for a few turns.  Orgies also have a larger number of scene and dialog variations than the other defiler actions, so I hope you all enjoy exploring them.

The other major addition is a very soft cap on the amount of trauma of each type that can be acquired in one battle.  This only applies above 1 trillion damage, which means it doesn't kick in until you've already gotten enough trauma to see all the corruption content up to this point.  Part of my reason for implementing this was to make it less easy to break the scoring system, but the main purpose was to test the mechanic for eventual use in the difficulty toggle system somewhere down the line.

With this update, all the basic mechanics that were originally planned for battle have been implemented.  All that remain are the last two tiers of upgrades, which will involve the last tier of corruption and the final battle.  There have also been some good suggestions for content toggles and quality-of-life features that I'll try to put in along the way.

• Content: Added a new special defiler action triggered by hitting all three Chosen with the same defiler action at once.  See Step 8 of guide.txt for further details.
• Balance: Trauma acquired in each battle will now be cut in half above every order of magnitude past 1 trillion.
• Interface: Tooltips for upgraded defiler actions are now distinct from the tooltips for regular defiler actions.
• Interface: Buttons for upgrades bought before the battle will now display tooltips that summarize their effects.
• Bugfix: Attempted to fix some file path issues reported by Linux users.  If this doesn't work, let me know.

Release 11b

• Bugfix: Damage values in the quadrillions will no longer abruptly jump to Long.MAX_VALUE and then usually crash the game.
• Bugfix: Some of the forced threesome scenes during Orgy will no longer be inappropriately rare to trigger.
• Bugfix: The Chosen will stop using Striptease in unusually inappropriate circumstances.
• Bugfix: The bar that shows projected extermination next turn will no longer sometimes incorrectly take surrounded Chosen into account.
• Bugfix: The total multiplier summary of all other active multipliers should be able to handle much higher multiplier combinations.
• Bugfix: A source of post-battle trauma overflow errors has been plugged.

Release 10: Duplicity

This update finally adds the upgraded versions of the defiler actions: Inseminate+, Force Orgasm+, Sodomize+/Torture+/Force Laughter+, and Broadcast+.  The upgraded version is accessed by using the base version on two targets at the same time, so it's difficult to pull off in the early game, but the rewards are substantial.  The two targets are attacked together (and in many cases, forced to attack each other), which results in a damage multiplier depending on how much they hate each other.  In addition, the upgraded actions deal three types of circumstance damage instead of merely two.

It took longer than expected to write this update, since the number of relationship, circumstance, personality, and content toggle combinations to account for is much higher in scenes with multiple Chosen.  I hope that exploring all the possibilities proves enjoyable!

• Content: Added upgraded defiler actions when two Chosen are targeted by the same defiler action.
• Content: Added a brief "Statistics" page to the profiles list unlocked by the Psychic Reading upgrade which currently just shows how much each opening type has contributed to surrounding each of the Chosen.  This was actually added in the previous release, but I forgot to note it in the changelog.  I'm interested in hearing what other information players would find useful.

Release 10b:

• Bugfix: Attempting to perform upgraded defiler actions using the Networked Consciousness upgrade will no longer sometimes cause targets to escape early.
• Bugfix: Projections of how many surround turns will be lost by performing an upgraded defiler action should now be accurate.
• Bugfix: Use of Slaughter on the same turn as an upgraded defiler action begins will no longer desynchronize the surround durations of the Chosen involved.

Release 9: Substitution

 This update adds a major content toggle which replaces most of the graphic violence dealt to the Chosen with tickle torture.  PAIN is replaced by TICKling (a measure of trauma caused by the discomfort of being tickled), while INJUry is replaced by ANTIcipation (a broad measure of exhaustion and expectation of further punishment).  Once ANTIcipation is brought high enough, the defiler action "Force Laughter" is possible to break the Chosen's confidence by showing them how little control they have over their own bodies.

Players who are turned off by the more gruesome descriptions should be more able to enjoy the game now.  Because the general status descriptions when the Chosen are not being tickled do not explicitly refer to tickling, I expect that players who are turned off by both tickling and violence will still find the tickling option to be an improvement.  A few descriptions of pain and blood (notably with large insertions, virginity loss, and violence inflicted by the Chosen themselves) remain unchanged.  As with the other content toggles up to this point, the gameplay itself is unaffected.  The graphic violence setting on the main menu will affect all saves, including those from older versions.

There are also a couple of other minor additions and fixes, so hopefully players who aren't into tickling will be glad to see this update as well!

• -Content: Added a toggle to replace graphic violence with tickling.
• -Content: Added footwear (and the option to customize it) for the Chosen.
• -Content: Male Chosen who lose their anal virginity when male shifting is turned on will now shift even when this happens during another Chosen's morality break scene.
• -Interface: Players who start a new game with early cheats turned on will now be sent to the shop menu instead of the first battle so that they have an option to buy upgrades beforehand.
• -Bugfix: The Networked Consciousness upgrade will no longer decrease surround durations by 1.
• -Bugfix: Commanders without Suppressor or Defiler upgrades will now interact properly with Networked Consciousness.
• -Bugfix: Chosen downtime AI has been refactored to deal with more errors related to Long.MAX_VALUE.

Release 8: Combination

The main feature of this update is the addition of the sixth tier of upgrades.  They're expensive, but they're also strong enough to allow the player to continue to make some headway after the Chosen start using the powerful moves introduced in the previous update.  This will make it easier to see all the current corruption content in a single playthrough.  Additionally, one of the upgrades makes it possible to combine Suppressor- and Defiler-class commanders, which involves some new content of its own.
