Sin Spire – Alpha Test Build 0.0.5a

Hello everyone! This is update 0.0.5a – long overdue, I know. It doesn’t have all the content I originally planned, but I didn’t want to delay things any further. I’d rather get this into your hands now and address any issues as they come up.

So, what’s new in this build? Since this isn’t a numbered update, there isn’t a huge amount of new gameplay content:

• Sex scenes with Savina (all of hers up to this point in the story are now in)

• Handjob scene with Ophelia

• A couple of additional monster purification animations (Bound and Witness)

• Extra bits and pieces (Such as Leg Amalgam damage nerf)

• Free Mode (unlocked by default for now)

Unfortunately, I had to cut Ophelia’s end-of-quest scene – I procrastinated and ended up leaving it too long, my bad. The good news is that one of her scenes is included, and Savina’s scenes are pretty much fully implemented. The animations, especially the endings, still need a lot of touch-ups, but they’re functional. Audio probably needs touch-ups too as I rushed getting those in.

A lot of time for this build went into new systems, such as the system that handles transitions between dialogue and sex scenes. There was no clean way to do this before, so I had to overhaul quite a few things. Of course, that also introduced a bunch of new bugs. I’ve been squashing most of them, but there are still some left – check the Known Issues section for details – and I imagine more will be discovered.

What’s next?
More scenes are definitely coming, so don’t worry – this isn’t the end. That said, I’ll be shifting focus to the broader strokes of the game, especially the final boss fight and wrapping up the last chapter, rather than spending too much time on smaller things like enemy purification animations and polish. Though if any major bugs appear in this build, I will of course prioritize them.

About Free Mode
Free Mode is now fully accessible from the Extras menu, unlocked for everyone by default in this build. However, Savina’s and Ophelia’s scenes are not included – you’ll need to experience those naturally in-game first. In the next release, Free Mode will only unlock after completing the game, but I’ll add those scenes to it then.

That’s it for now! I hope you enjoy the build, and as always, please report any bugs in the Discord server.
