Version 0.2.23

Version 0.2.23 was released on March 15, 2021. This update adds an abduction scenario to the moor, involving a new NPC. It also includes a new transformation, and clothing improvements.

Developer's Note

"I wanted a threat in the moor aside from Remy's goons, and hope the new NPC fits the niche. They work similar to the black wolf and Eden. Failing to escape their clutches can have consequences.

Unlike previous transformations, the PC won't know how to use their full powers by default. They'll need a teacher.

Skills can now be influenced by boosts and penalties. Some of these effects can be found on clothes, but there are ancient powers on the moor that could also be of help.

Note that there are problems with parts of the sprite failing to animate in Chrome. Might be connected to the recent browser update, as it's happening in older versions of the game as well. It doesn't seem to break too often. Hopefully we can work out the problem soon.

We're getting close to version 0.3. I've tried to split the content up such that the jump to 0.3 won't be much longer than normal. Next update will revisit the farmland areas to expand and tidy things ready for 0.3 proper.

Thanks everyone!"

New Additions

• A terror soars over the moor in the form of the Great Hawk. It searches for a mate, and makes its nest at the Hawk's Tower, at the far end of the moor.
• A new transformation - The Harpy Transformation. Also can be referred to as the "Bird Transformation".
• Two new traits:
  • The "Wings" trait - allowing transformations that possess wings to glide from high places. This includes the bird transformation, but extends to angel, fallen angel and demon transformations. The player will need to learn how to fly first from a teacher.
  • The "Sticky" trait - providing a boost to skulduggery, only obtained when wearing long leather gloves.
• Different types of "marker" can be used instead for bodywriting. Female NPCs may use lipstick for instance, and NPCs in the forest or moor can use mud. Additionally, the type of pen or similar item wielded by an NPC is now specified before they write on the player.
• Cosmetics found at the shop within the Shopping Centre such as lipstick, eyeshadow, and mascara will now display on the encounter sprites. Mascara will run with tears.
• New clothing added, these are: Long leather gloves, a scarf, a vest, a puffer jacket, boxers, star pyjama shorts, star pyjama shirt, moon pyjama bottoms, moon pyjama shirt, a gold chain, an iron chain, a camo shirt, and long johns.
• Kylar, Whitney, Avery, Alex, Leighton and Morgan now have their own lines when taking the PC's virginities.
• Named NPCs can now have larger breast sizes that can be chosen.
• The player can now use their hands to struggle free of an NPC when sat on, gagged, or having their face pushed between or against a chest. Higher physique, lowered NPC anger, and higher NPC trust will make breaking free from them easier.
• Kylar can be taken for a walk through the park once a day after the player reaches a moderate amount of love.
• A heavily traumatized player that has met Harper and has appointments with them on Fridays may now ask for an emergency appointment with Harper at the Hospital. This will lead to the Asylum without needing to pass out first.
• A feathered hair clip can be purchased at the forest shop. Wearing it prevents the bird/harpy transformation from decaying, akin to other items tied to transformations such as the cowbell and spiked collar.
• Added three new feats - "Fly Like an Eagle", "High Reflection", and "Catch the Wind".
