Flash Update
Added 2016-06-06 16:08:03 +0000 UTCProgress still chugs away on the Flash FS alpha!
Player victory content for the three main encounters are still in the shop, sadly. However, the Husky has received all of her other content, asides from her endings.
There was some delay when some pre-existing tech had to be tossed and replaced when it proved unwieldy. Specifically, our ruleset for relative and absolute cock size.
Normally, you'll find this anatomy statted on an inch-per-point basis for most erotic IF, and this works just fine when your PCs body size doesn't change significantly throughout. Heck, the inform version still uses this ruleset.
Thing is, scale was implemented waaay after and the two don't feel right together. A good example is the "Modest Organs" feat, which keeps your anatomy at a "Reasonable" size. Problem is, "Reasonable" differs depending on your body size, so you end up being under or over-hung based on your body size, even with the feat locking your anatomy to a specific length.
We tried to resolve this problem in a very complex, mathy way. Stripes and I had all sorts of spreadsheets for effectively determining dong size based on your scale -- Colour-coded, too! Thing is, we did this all months ago, and when I returned to work with it again I... Had no idea what I was working with. It was simply too much dong math!
It was ultimately so awkward to work with, as a writer, that I chopped it off and swapped it with something simpler: You absolute cock size is your relative cock size + scale, that's it. Everything was a lot easier to work with from there, and I doubt anyone was longing for simulation-level dick scaling in their sexocalypse game anyways.
In the interim, I was able to squeeze in a number of major and minor feats. I believe the only minor feats remaining are pregnancy-related, while the major feat additions primarily consist of ones which didn't require extensive tech.
I was also able to tap Stripes for some early work on the new storyline. Specifically, new setup text for the main three starting modes and the new starting area. Subsequently, all the old areas have been removed. The ability to volunteer for major feats has been moved to the top floor of the new, main area.
We can expect the remaining monster scene content to come in soon enough, along with a new NPC, and an early questline. Finishing that and the remaining feats should conclude the main content push before we update the UI, though content is still expected to be added some time between then and when we hit beta.

Bless you Aramis Calyp, for noticing it happens when we navigate to Grey Abbey. I had overlooked that fact in my gameplay. avoiding that does let the game continue. Kudos!

2016-06-08 03:07:37 +0000 UTCHello, I was having the same error as Linn, with the Next button not working, and I assumed it was after combat too, but it actually seems to be when navigating to the Grey Abbey. It seemed like it was after combat, because I encountered enemies when I did, then on winning or losing the next button became unresponsive, but I also navigated there "without incident" - no combat - and the Next button was still unresponsive. Encountering enemies without going to the Grey Abbey, by exploring or scavenging, lets me complete combat without error.

2016-06-07 15:52:21 +0000 UTCAre you using a save from before this version? If so, that's the cause of this. A patch is coming that will make old saves work. If you prefer, start a new game and this problem should go away.

2016-06-07 15:06:53 +0000 UTCThe programmer asks: I'm having trouble replicating the error. Could they clarify their character gender/build?
