Version 0.7.1 [4/11/15]
 - Next chapter of the game.
 - One new sex scene.
 - Minor fixes.
 - Fixed two potentially game-freezing bugs.
 - Minor rebalancing.

Here it is. ^^ Unless I introduced new problems fixing those bugs, should be a fairly smooth experience. There are some known typos and graphical errors, but they're fixed on version 0.8.0 - I've already branched and I'm deep into work on that.

TLF Remake Demo!

EDIT: This was an April Fools Day joke. ^^ I'm glad most people were amused by it, and grateful to everyone who played along - love you guys! You can still play it if you want a laugh, but the real next version is out now.

NOTE: This version of the game has significant rewriting, some new gameplay scripts, and some graphical improvements. Unfortunately it's still too buggy to really play. If you haven't played the game before, play version 0.6.0. But if you've already played the full game, give this one a try for a taste of my true vision of the game.

Feel free to report any bugs you encounter. Meanwhile, the completely stable release of version 0.7.0 is scheduled for April 4th on Patreon, April 11th everywhere. I'm scrambling to do final balancing and testing of non-critical stuff, but the core of the update is solid. ^^

Version 0.7.0 Release Date

Things aren't going to be as straightforward this time, but you can expect the next update pretty soon. Patrons, you know where to go.

Here or wherever is fine for any typos found in the rewritten (and much improved) dialogue.

Version 0.6.0 Public Release

Version 0.6.0

 - Next chapter of the game.

 - Four new sex scenes: two in the new section, two added to Stineford.

 - Mine bug fixed, parallel versions unified.

 - Some minor cosmetic changes/improvements.
 - Balance changes, see below.

PLEASE NOTE: This section of the game includes an optional dungeon that would be very difficult if you choose to attempt it now - and escape ISN'T possible. Keep a different save file if you choose to go in or you could get trapped.

Other than that section, I want to hear thoughts on balance. People are coming out of Stineford with different levels/equipment/choices - let me know how the section feels to you.

A few skills have been buffed or nerfed. After some thought and feedback, I don't like the effect of what I did to Qum's skills. This will be changed to something in between as of the next version.

My new laptop is fine, by the way, still getting it configured the way I like. Looking forward to a normal, balanced production period on 0.7.0.

Version 0.6.0 Release Date

It will be out everywhere on March 14th. Backers, it'll be up shortly.

Now to spend some quality time with this new laptop...

Version 0.5.2

This took a while thanks to my computer situation, but here it is. If you played any version 0.5, you can ignore this (I'm working on the next chapter as I can). But if you're experiencing the mine/Hilstara bug, this is the version to get.

NOTE: If you're playing for the first time, get this version. The experience will be identical to this one except that you won't see a notification about the bug. All saves should be valid next version regardless of which one you play, however.

I really hope that I can avoid anything like this again. Juggling different versions on different computers has been a nightmare, but hypothetically one I can deal with if I improve my organization again.

Version 0.5 and the Hilstara Bug

(If you're not having problems with 0.5.1, you can ignore this post unless you really want to help hunt for bugs.)

Some people are experiencing a bug where Hilstara is considered to have joined the group accidentally. This means she'll be incorrectly added during the Academy events. But the bigger problem is that if you didn't accept the mine quest from her before triggering the bug, you're locked out of the mine permanently.

Until now, anyway:
https://mega.co.nz/#!Ctk01BYa!gsv1xxQWPS8-sOcvQIOxxVVLhdPdcK7IADnEU2Stqfo

PLEASE NOTE: Only use this version if you are experiencing the mine bug! This version is actually older than 0.5.1 in the post below and you will have a slightly smoother experience playing that one.

This version should unlock the mine for anyone experiencing this bug. There shouldn't be any future consequences, either.

UPDATE: The bug is found thanks to Commodus from LoK forums! It turns out I had a testing feature to flip this switch and forgot to take it out before release. Next version this won't be a problem, but I have not yet re-compressed 0.5.1, so for anyone playing a new game: don't save after reading the signs in the Academy.

Version 0.5.0 Public Release!

Light Version*: https://mega.co.nz/#!D19WmAaY!KfB5cCVLDFwjjLkRJJFHjdEorjgMRobFOJNUJmfhCGc

*Requires RPG Maker VX Ace RTP to be installed. If you don't know what that means, use the first link. Version 0.5.1 - Two major plot quests added: you can now raise enough money to leave Stineford. - Three major combat sidequests, several minor sidequests. - Two new sex scenes. - Enemy healing bug fixed, minor improvements to Stineford. 

BUG NOTE: Unless you have the newest version, there might be a remaining bug. There is a testing feature in the Academy that will screw up your event order. It should be fixed now (and definitely will be in all future versions) but to be safe: don't save after reading the signs in the Academy.

Version 0.5.2
 - Identical except for the above bug. See other posts for details and the bugfix version if you encountered it earlier.

Really happy with this update, and I hope you all are too. Just... don't expect me to get this much done every single month. Future updates will be much more the size of the first three. Important note: as of this version, some official titles are being changed. Patreon backers voted and the Fucklord is now called the Incubus King. I'm sure there are lingering references to the old title - if you see any, please be specific about which line of dialogue needs to be changed. This isn't an official rebranding yet. When I get more custom art resources in place, I'll officially change the name of the game and some other stuff. Until then, however, I hope to smooth out my terminology. Those of you who thought Fucklord was hilarious (like me!) - it will show up again in another context. That's all I have to say about the game for now. Happy playing. ^^

Version 0.5.0 Release Date

It will be out February 14th, here and in all the threads. ^^

Meanwhile, backers, you know what to do.

Version 0.4.0 Public Release!

Download: https://mega.co.nz/#!Osl0QDbJ!EZfG_8d-ej8VSjAPOlyBkCQYmty9R4lrdKycBhHbo50 Light Version*: https://mega.co.nz/#!bpsDCRba!njWOs5CkdHTt9BdiDysbzK6ZIWbupN109_PEp9HUEd0

*Requires RPG Maker VX Ace RTP. If you don't know what that means, use the first link.
Version 0.4.0 - New plot segment plus the entire city of Stineford. - Eight new sex scenes. - Sex sprites added retroactively. - New sprites for Simon and Qum D'umpe. - Multiple additions to prior sections, including two short sex scenes and some affection choices. This next update is a little different from the others. It's the next logical piece of the game, but it's not a complete chapter story-wise. Please don't think this is a half-assed update, though: the number of maps in the game has doubled and sex scenes have increased by 185%. I worked really hard, it's just that the next part of the game gets a little broader. Stineford is a big city with multiple key characters and a bunch of different quests (many optional). There was no way I could finish that many different things. Instead I opted to give you a basically complete city that's lacking some of its quests. Here's how it will work: whenever you find a quest that can't be completed yet, you'll get a note about that, but the quest flag is still tripped. So when the next update comes, you should be able to pick up where you left off easily. (But keep backup saves just in case something absolutely needs to be changed for some reason.) For example, you can meet characters that tell you to go do something in the mine outside the city, but the mine's exit is closed because there's nothing inside. Next update you'll be able to waltz inside and do the quest. Right now you can't meet the requirements to advance to the next chapter, but you have a segment of plot, a lot of places to explore, and several quests that can be completed. You'll also see hints of the background labor that took up a bunch of my time, specifically the new relationship and army systems. They aren't too dramatic now, but I had to figure out the whole thing in order to implement them properly. Note to people editing: I wanted Stineford to contain a lot of equipment that you'd have to save up to afford. My intention for game balance was that players would have to get the expensive equipment a piece or two at a time.

Version 0.3.0

 - New chapter of the game.

 - Several bugfixes/improvements in previous sections.

 - Whole game rebalanced, overall easier.

Please note that if your save game went through certain versions or you messed with party formation, you might get a few graphics bugs (like Simon's sprite being replaced with another party member). This one isn't game-breaking and should get fixed by story progression, so no need to report this particular bug unless you see it while playing a new game in this version.

This was a busy and unpleasant few weeks at work, but I still finished an update I feel pretty good about. Based on this experience, I think I can commit to updates of the story roughly every month. Now that I can settle into a schedule, I've made a Patreon (see the previous post for details).

Version 0.4.0 of the game should be done in the first half of January. It's my most ambitious update yet, and not just for expanding the story. I'm also working on improving the visual aspect of previous chapters, which will include sex sprites for many of the scenes. I didn't want to include them in this version and risk breaking any scenes.

See you next time!

Patreon

I have set up a Patreon.

But I want to be clear: I'm going to keep making the game even if everyone ignores my account. The game isn't going to become exclusive to backers or anything like that (though they might get early or bonus releases). This is just like a tip jar, an easy way for you to throw me a few bucks if you're feeling generous.

Why should you trust me enough to give me your hard-earned cash? I don't know how to answer that question except to keep putting out the best updates I can, month after month. If in the future you ever decide you've gotten enough enjoyment out of the game that you want to help me out, I'll be grateful. Until then, everything will be business as usual.

If people have a problem with Patreon itself, let me know your payment preferences. PayPal is convenient, but I've read that getting shut down is a big problem for people making anything that could be considered pornographic (and I'd rather not lose my PayPal). If someone knows more or can direct me to a good source of information, feel free to speak up.

There's another reason I set up the Patreon: if people want to donate money specifically to contribute something to the game, there's a tier for that. While I'll maintain overall artistic control, any money you give me on that tier will go toward improving the game in a way you can request.

If you like my writing but don't like handing out money for free games, you could also take a look at my short stories. Each one is $2.99 and contains more words of sex than the entire game so far. Wet Dream Planet is most similar to the game (but scifi), while Zombie Wife is reasonably similar except it features mostly one primary couple. The others are less the same kind of writing, but if you like weird sex and fetishes that aren't in the game, maybe give them a shot. ^^

That's the plan! See you next update!

Version 0.2.0 released!

Hello, everyone, I'm back! I'm working especially hard to get a good base of content for the game, because starting next week my schedule will be much more filled.

The prologue had multiple shorter sex scenes, this time the same number of words is concentrated in fewer. This game will change up the pattern throughout - all I promise is that each update will contain a solid chunk of gameplay and new h-content.

Let me know what you think of the difficulty, but know that you're getting a healer first thing next chapter. Between a free inn and potions, I thought this section was too easy, but... let me know. Also, I'd like opinions on how aggressive you want enemy sprites to be. Right now they just amble around, but I could easily give them different behavior.

I have a head start on the third section (character images, equipment, etc), but I'll have to produce most of it under rough work conditions. If I can manage the third version before too long, I think I should be able to commit to monthly updates long term. If not, well, I'll do as much as I can.

The Last Fucklord

Just started this new project, and it seems like it should have a blog eventually. For now, though, I think if anyone is paying attention they'll be looking at other places.
