Update 8th Jun '25

This was a fairly productive week even if a lot of it was on tidying up duties.

Not all, thankfully, and I am happy to report I'm currently back on writing the slime smother nun scenario. I typed up some of her intro to pick the thread back up again and I'm currently in the middle of writing her Bad End sex scenario. I was hoping to have that finished, but there was a bit too much other work I needed to get done this week. My plan is she'll have 5 "smother" scenarios and 1 straight sex (sort of) sub-scenarios, similar to The Trapperess and Temptacia.

I also sent off the next batch of art descriptions. These are the high-tier independents. Rather more exciting is one of my patrons has "adopted" a harlot, so this batch also included a harlot "in action", so to speak. More details on that to come, but I'm very eager to see what marwmellow comes up with for this.

As part of the tidying up, I also wrote and prepared a few more harlot spotlights. During the coding slog I constantly found myself in a position where I couldn't take time away to put a new spotlight out as I was currently in the middle of something else (usually a tricky coding segment). To avoid this happening in future I decided to prep and queue a batch so I'll always have one ready to post. This week I did the mid-tier sensuality harlots, so that's the next couple of weeks sorted. I'll write a few more next week so I can continue to have a stockpile queued and ready to go.

The biggest tidying up was implementing notebook and replay functionality for Friesya. I'd written up her notebook paragraphs but had only just started implementing them before I put out the Harlot Tester last week. I'm very glad I didn't rush her out for that as the implementation ended up being a little fiddly and I'd have probably screwed something up if I'd rushed it.

Even though it took more hours to implement than I was expecting, I needed to cover a new clue type for Friesya and tweak the notebook and replay functionality to handle repeat scenarios. Thankfully, I now appear to be at the tweak-and-add things stage rather than the rewrite-everything-because-it-doesn't-fit stage that caused me so many problems from March to May.

It's still a little fiddly to implement notebook/replay functionality for the existing harlot scenarios. I think I might need to set aside a couple of days per week to work on each harlot. I think this will get quicker as I get more used to it and iron out the bugs in the process.

I've added Friesya Holstun to the online Harlot Tester up houseofhellishharlots.com. (See previous posts for details on what the Harlot Tester is.) I've given her light testing to fix the obvious things that were blowing up, but there will probably be some things I've missed. Let me know if you encounter anything weird while playing her scenario.

My plan is to keep updating the online version when each harlot is ready, which I'll mention in these update posts.

Thank you for the interest and support.
