Development Update: Progress, Goals, The Future, and Annual Subs.
Added 2021-11-06 14:45:15 +0000 UTCHey Patrons!
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these since I tend to throw my thoughts into patch notes, but I thought this was a bit overdue.
First of all, a small(...? maybe not apparently) breakdown of what’s been added since the last development update!
- Totally reworked model, with much better expressiveness, better lighting, and a lot less edges.
- Visual Customization (...All of it apparently? Tattoo System, Skin Colors, All Accessories, etc)
- Post-Session Rework (Duties, Habits, Commandments)
- Taskmaster Mode & Assignment System
- Reworked: Edging System
- Reworked: Rhythm System, Rhythm Sessions
- Favor System, Requesting Outfits, Daily suggested favor/time options.
- Roleplay Session System
- New Music System
- Until Dry Time Limit
- Difficulty Sliders
- Fake Endings
- Session Stakes
- Events like Valentine’s Day, April Fools
- Task Dislike Learning
- Focuses & Themes, Themed Sessions
- Post-Oops behavior customization!
- Vagina Support! (yeah I’ll never get tired of this patch note, heh)
- Dynamic Text System, Sub/Dom Naming, Pronouns, etc.
- New updated mood systems (Furious, Mischievous, Thirsty, etc)
- Findom Rework that makes it easily accessible to anyone with interest in it for no cost!
- Scary Vampire Yandere Headpats!
- Session Scheduling (Appointments)
- Toggle Locking
- Far too many toggles & tasks to list, even if I’d like to.
Pretty happy with that list, personally. Hope you are too.
So here’s the thing. I used to think I’d finish this game relatively fast, keep it low scope.
In a way, that hasn’t changed, but it has. While there are no plans for huge scope increases (because I like my fast iteration rate and production time), I’ve been given so much feedback, have had so many ideas, and have so many little neat things I want to work on and try.
This genre is almost all unexplored, untrodden ground and it’s fascinating to work on. (Even if sometimes exhausting. You’re not getting a futa bulge. Go away. It’s a nightmare. I've looked into it.)
I have no plans to stop working on neat stuff and keep adding to the game. At some point within the next few months, I might start working towards what will feel like a ‘’1.0’’, just so I can spread the game out further than it currently goes. That’s certainly not the end of the road, because this game doesn’t really have much competition that tries to do unusual stuff, and I think I have a responsibility to explore the unexplored and try all kinds of stuff. And also, to iterate upon what already exists based on all the feedback you've given me, and what I've learned by working on this since May 2020.
On the other hand, we’re also certainly hitting feature creep levels here and there. At some point I’ll have to pay off that technical debt (Which is starting to be felt, I am aware. Mobile performance, loading times, etc.), so maybe I can’t promise every single month will have a new crazy feature? But I’ll try to keep it interesting or at minimum expand on what we’ve got.
TLDR; Your succubus ain’t done improving yet, won’t be done for a while, and if there’s a glaring issue you can probably assume I’ll be working on it or have considered it and am trying to process it.
I’ve now enabled Annual subs and set them to have the maximum possible discount allowed on Patreon. I used to not be so comfortable with the idea of that level of commitment, but some of you have been around and supporting me for so long now. If you like my plans, think you’ll be sticking around for them? Please take advantage of that discount!
Lastly, I want to talk about interaction.
Some of you may have noticed that I reply to comments and stuff a bit less than I used to.
I just want to re-confirm that I do read literally every single thing and think about it. (unless it’s about a futa bulge, in which case I totally ignore it, go away, nightmarish)
If I don’t reply, it’s a matter of time or energy I’m conserving for actual work. I still try to interact as much as I can on the discord, especially, but it turns out the community has grown... Rather quickly.
Crazy year, and I don’t have the words to thank you enough for the support, so I’ll just leave it at: You can expect more, not just out of work-obligation, but because this is fun!
Comments
Thank you for all your hard work. It's a very nice experience. Maybe in the future you can incorporate additional nipple play, a bit like penis slapping or anal play. Along with that, you could possibly use toys with more bite or weights to make it more exciting. Thx for everything!

2021-12-01 22:42:33 +0000 UTCOne suggestion I have as someone with a rather large "insertable" collection would be a better way to categorize things. It would be nice for instance to be have a name, size, and properties for each insertable. For instance, you could have a name, size (small/medium/large/oversized), properties (knot/cumtube/etc), and use (anal/vaginal/oral/etc). This combined with a large enough number of slots would allow people with large collections to use all of their toys exactly the way they want to. It would also open up more fun play (jumping from small->large as a punishment, teasing with small toys, etc).
2021-11-14 21:19:43 +0000 UTCI have done sessions over 2 hours and had no issue with battery life on andriod . It's likely device and/or age of battery related.

2021-11-14 16:42:18 +0000 UTCAs far as I saw, the "whorshipp" options gives you some specific close shots to that part while doing some specific task, so yes, it is hers.

2021-11-09 14:35:27 +0000 UTCI would think that some unlockables would be cool. Maybe a gallery were you could unlock some artworks or something like that. Either some could buy it with favor or achieve it in other ways. For me this would push the long time motivation a lot.

2021-11-09 07:03:00 +0000 UTCCrashes constantly. Extremely slow.
2021-11-08 20:55:00 +0000 UTCLove the game! What do you thing of some more joi games like adding to the rlgl game a variant of stone scissors and rock, or the alternative version for the wheel - a dice game. Also it would be cool to have the option to enter a custom video page and watch a movie there if the task is to watch X amount of that video category. After x amount of video minutes the video player would close. Thank you for all the effort you put into the best game ever
2021-11-08 07:54:29 +0000 UTCdefinetely there is something to improve on mobile for performance and battery consuming. Tried a 30 min session on the last version, my battery went from 70% to 15% and I had constant sound cuts and performance loses. Threw me out a little bit.

2021-11-07 22:20:46 +0000 UTCdiscount? nah, just take my whole money
2021-11-07 06:19:48 +0000 UTCBeen paranoid to click "butt worship" and things, is that for me to worship mine or hers? I saw you changed "Anal play" to say "player" THANK YOU! It was a weird session when I didn't know lol
2021-11-06 21:07:29 +0000 UTChttps://www.patreon.com/posts/46031852 see the last part of the last development update on why that minigame is deprecated and not getting updates.
2021-11-06 18:23:14 +0000 UTCGladly updated to the annual option, as I have no plans to abandon your work either. Thank you for the option to save if even just a bit!
2021-11-06 18:16:35 +0000 UTCI don't mind about the bulge in futas. but could we get a cock mini game like the vagina one where you satisfy her? I am loving the game either way?

2021-11-06 17:56:43 +0000 UTCI did say I'd ignore futa bulge related comments but I GUESS I'LL EXPLAIN. The gist of it is that the most common request I get is that her bulge show through her underwear/clothes when Futa is enabled. This is pretty nightmarish in terms of scope because of texturing, the amount of outfits, animations that may clip it, etc. Is it possible? Yeah. Would it limit everything I do a lot? Yeah.
2021-11-06 15:52:44 +0000 UTC.... I feel like I should be concerned, or I probably shouldn't ask, but what is futa buldge?

2021-11-06 15:48:46 +0000 UTCThe reworked Succu-chan's model may have a lot less less edges now... ...but I don't.
2021-11-06 15:43:53 +0000 UTCHonestly, I really really really don't like the idea of allowing it to connect to anything that would allow this, due to the sensitive nature of the save data. That's why the export string exists, even if I know it's tedious. I don't collect analytics, etc. There's also the fact that this would only apply to a very small part of the community, for what it would involve both in terms of time and maintenance and potential bugs.
2021-11-06 15:39:35 +0000 UTCI did have one question, is there going to be saving between different devices? Looking forward to the future of the game!!

2021-11-06 15:37:11 +0000 UTCJust want to say thanks for the great work so far and I can't wait for whatever you come up with for the game next.

2021-11-06 15:11:42 +0000 UTCFirst let me congratulate you on your work so far. I've been around for a few months but I plan to stay, as this game is such a unique experience it deserves full support. As it is now, the succubus experience is already amazing. All the animations, the sound, the expressions, it all works very well together so there is a very strong fundation to add further mechanics and things. Also, at least for the time iv'e been here, you deliver good stuff in a steady way, so youearn your coin.

2021-11-06 14:59:54 +0000 UTCits really impressive what you have accomplished with this. keep up the good work! this is awsome!
