Hey Folks,

A new playable build v.0.15 is ready to go for supporters on Patreon/Subscribestar! (Licker and Lurker right away, Huggers in 5 days). Usually, with every update that contains a new playable supporter build, the previous supporter build gets released to the public. But so far, no supporter-exclusive build was available yet, therefore, the public has to wait a little longer before a new public build becomes available this time. 

Let's talk about new content of v.0.15 and plans about the general direction.

First version of the distorted sewers:

Luci’s journey continues deeper into the sewers, a dark labyrinth that requires some lever pulls and a riddle to solve. The baseline of this level is set, but it requires some more attention, and additional things will be added in future updates.

Creatures of the Distorted Sewers:

• New Enemy – Blood Reaver – This creature is able to summon companions.
• More Embracers – They can corner you if you are not careful. Listen to the area’s ambient sounds and find a place where you are out of sight.
• Phantom – She helps you with certain things...

Sanctuary got a little bit bigger.

It is planned to grow the sanctuary over time by adding new things. In this update, the sanctuary got a little bit expanded, new NPCs were added, and Mia, the sewer’s guardian, begins to neglect her duties from time to time. (Just listen for suspicious sounds if you don’t see her at her usual place).

New Clothes for Luci:

Old Rags. In case you like the goblin rag cloth style, you can find some similar rags inside the sewers.

Note: The totally non-suspicious treasure chest did not make it into the update and needs more development time for some reason. :>

Bugfixes:

• Made an attempt to fix the black screen bug, which happened especially after Luci got pregnant.
• You can no longer use oil on an already oiled wheel.

Plans and General Direction:

As of now, when losing to the Blood Reaver or Embracer, you will trigger a Game Over because certain elements are missing.

In the long run, the idea is to remove all Game Over scenarios and exchange them for other outcomes that allow you to continue the game.

Other Balance Change Consideration for the future:

Willpower recovery. Luci is a strong-willed individual. She should be able to recover the permanently lost willpower partly in between battles. This allows the player to engage more in certain activities without fearing losing too much willpower and being able to continue fighting for longer. But then the battles themselves should be tougher.

The level cheat is still in the current build, but try to beat the game without it and feel free to give some feedback about the balance! :>

That’s it for now.

Greets! :>
