the Succubabe's Bathhouse build3
Added 2025-03-04 23:44:37 +0000 UTCHello everyone! I just uploaded a new the Succubabe's Bathhouse build! There are some decently big changes to this one, although many of them are Behind the Scenes. We have a new way of storing card functions that uses per-card scripts instead of a really weird dictionary format I was using before. Now we'll be able to make much fancier cards :D
We also have "play area" now, where the cards are sent after they're played. Cards in the play area are only discarded at the beginning of combat and at the end of the turn, so you won't have the ability to infinitely cycle your deck each turn.
These changes represent significant structural changes to the code, and I was unable to get Artifacts working for this build. There were only a few of them in the game, though, so I've removed them for this build. I'll add them back in soon :D Here are the complete notes:
Added the Play Area
Added a bunch of new Tutorial Popups
Added 2 new cards (Brutal Domination and Mind Syphon)
Added a couple new card arts
Changed "Remove" keyword to "Forget"
Changed "Fight" keyword to "Fuck"
Changed the cards "Come Prepared" and "Downtime" to work significantly differently. They can no longer Forget cards.
I think I fixed the Coil Whine issue.
Changed some UI elements.
Slightly changed some dialogue.
"Forget Save Data" option now works for Tutorials as well. Resetting save data functionally resets your dialogue progress and your tutorial progress.
Several other balance changes that I forget. I will take better notes next time ahaa
Thank you so much for your support, everyone!! I hope you have fun with this new build! As usual, please report all feedback in the comments. Your feedback so far is helping me immensely and is guiding this game towards being funner and cooler and its just really important. Hearing from you all is a privilege that I think a lot of indie devs miss out on and it's a really big deal!! <3 <3 <3

2025-03-05 06:00:23 +0000 UTCOh shit, I just did some testing earlier!! Gonna put my thoughts on the new build below: - Mindbreak and Mirror Form still use "remove" instead of "forget" - I got a card on my stage, it says "Insult to Injury" on the stage but the card preview is "Deep Kisses" with the effect "when this card is used in a combo, draw a card"; I could not play it upon drawing it, and when I defeated a Slithery Sunbather, it didn't end the round (though I could no longer play cards), and the "Pass" button no longer worked, effectively hard-locking the game - Bite Lip isn't dealing Heat in combat - Brutal Domination says it deals 4 Heat to the initial target, but instead it deals 1 - Playing Down Time in combat and selecting "gain 1 Coin next turn" still makes you Forget a card in hand, in addition to giving you an extra Coin next turn - Mind Siphon has the icons Sweat+Vicious (no clue what the Sweat icon is named), but it only puts Vicious into the combo - the start-of-run text now displays the first-time text on your first run, correctly, but it still shows that text on all subsequent runs - Mind Break now adds its Vicious icon after the doubled icons of its target card, which is a bit counterintuitive - the patch notes mention a "Play Area" but I don't know what that refers to? Is it the game now having a way to keep track of which cards are presently being played/resolved? - I don't think I've ever seen the card "Come Prepared", and I don't know what "Coil Whine" refers to As far as the bugs and balance/design observations that I reported in my comment on the previous build, they're mostly still relevant. Down Time needed that nerf and it feels much more fair now, but it's still the best way to end level 1 with a Heat level that will allow you to win level 2. Host's Oath works now, I wanna try running that card more now that it functions correctly. I also noticed that there seem to be a few presets for what cards you'll be offered, at least at the start of a level - I frequently see 4x Bite Lip + 3x Glimpse, 4x Caress + 3x Down Time, and 4x Rethink alongside some other cards, as specific starting pools, and these seem to have biases towards synergistic cards appearing later (e.g. if you get the BL/Glimpse start, then Beg, Grovel, First Touch, Impact Play, and Reversal Hex are way more likely to spawn next than other cards are.

2025-03-05 05:44:11 +0000 UTChi! i've been having a fun time playing so far. excited to keep playing! here are some initial notes i took for this release (i'm playing on Windows): -the card image for both "Knifeplay Ninja" and "Insult to Injury" is shown as the image for "Deep Kisses" instead. --i cannot select the glitched "Deep Kisses" card during the purchasing or fucking stages. --if i am ending a turn with the glitched "Deep Kisses" card (either passing a turn during purchasing, trying to enter a fuck scene from purchasing, or trying to end a turn during a fuck scene), the game softlocks and does not let me progress to a new turn. -the little graphic for the "play area" doesn't load on screen for me when the game begins (the game begins in windowed mode for me). when i try to fully maximize the window, then restore the window back to its smaller windowed mode, the little graphic does appear, but it appears in the center of the game screen, usually overlapping with other elements on screen. -since you mentioned renaming "Remove" to "Forget," making a note that the card description for "Rethink" still says "Remove up to two cards from your hand." (after playing it, the UI does say "Select 2 cards in your hand to Forget" instead). -if i play a Rethink card during the purchasing stage and don't select any cards to forget from my hand, then immediately go into a fuck scene, the UI continues to ask/let me select cards to forget from my hand during the fuck scene. -i forget the name of the creature, but. this is about the one who has a "Forget 1 card from your hand" reward when you make them cum. if i play "Reversal Hex" during the purchasing stage and deal back heat to that creature on stage, and I make them cum by doing this, and then i choose the "Forget 1 card" effect as a reward, it does not actually let me forget a card. -"Reversal Hex" is no longer giving me a coin when i play it on stage. -like kiki above mentioned, you can currently play cards from the purchasing stage without actually buying them, and they'll go into your deck and also give you coins if they're supposed to give coins when played. i'll also mention that if the card has an effect that can proc when playing it on the purchasing stage, that effect will proc. (the "Reversal Hex" coin glitch is still a glitch when getting a card illegally in this way, as in it still does not give a coin). --yes, i did immediately get a bunch of "Impact Play" cards through this glitch and do a sweep of the first round. yes, i should not be allowed to do that. yes, i will be sad when i can no longer do it.

2025-03-05 05:26:49 +0000 UTCoh also an older demo message pops up every time I start a run. linux btw

2025-03-05 04:43:27 +0000 UTCseems like I can use this to get infinite coins. this is my first time playing but I'm betting this is not right!

2025-03-05 04:17:04 +0000 UTCis this a known bug? when I am looking at cards on the stage, I can click on the card to use them before I have bought them. at least, that's what it looks like to me!

2025-03-05 04:16:06 +0000 UTCI've usually seen that happen when a card effect/choice needs to be resolved and I missed that I triggered it

2025-03-05 04:08:14 +0000 UTCI tried it briefly and ran into a situation where I couldn't interact with two 'ponder's in my hand.
