Patreon Build v0.9.0: Bee-ing at the Gates

Added 2025-12-01 12:54:02 +0000 UTC

Greetings everyone, it is time for the next update! We have quite a balanced mix of stuff this time. Some story, some engine updates, some items, some additional maps, some new mobs, some new skills, some bug fixes, and some changes to old stuff. Let's get into it!

This update will see us arriving at the hiveling hive. The place is filled with drones and guards in the midst of a cultural change. The first half of the dungeon will be added with this patch, along with a bunch more story stuff, and sex scenes with the guard. There is a set of interactions with Sparktail the Innkeep as well, which become available after completing the quest Sparktail's Grudge at least once.

The lust system has been remodeled to better interact with the map combat. Maxing out your lust meter will cause the player to orgasm on the spot, dealing a chunk of HP damage to all adjacent mobs. With that, the Bard class has been given a heap of new skills to interact with this system. The full combat rebalance will happen next update, when I introduce the player-class selector.

Various items have been given some fixed enchantment variants, like rings and some lower grade armor, providing some more variety. Work has started on two-handed weapons and some other things for the class selector. Two handed weapons will only be wieldable by the warrior class, and thus will be temporarily unusable. Gunpowder weapons have gotten a damage boost, and can only be used by a Bard, which all players will currently default to. Some new weapons have been added to fill some new gabs in the lineup.

On the deep internals side, the way animations and tile sprite data is stored have been changed, bundling the files. This removes thousands of files from the game, improving startup and shutdown times. I also upgraded the text parser, making it better able to detect trailing newlines after nested multi-line statements. This should remove the occasional improper spacing. Some lingering bugs have been fixed, like missing text and a fey rare enchantments not applying their bonuses properly.

And as per usual, special thanks to my Naughty Weredog tier patrons and above~: aarlin, FadeSeeker, and Ygddrasil.

With love, Nranchs
