The next patch will be available October 28th!
But wait, you might be saying- you guys said by the end of Summer! And yes, we did, the original idea was to have the update out by this time, September. We have most of the content ready to go- all of the new animations and art, but we wanted some extra time to see how much additional story & voice acting content we can get into this update. Sorry. The wait will be worth it though!
tl:dr; It's going to take us a little bit longer, but we're also hoping to add more than what was originally planned.
In the mean time, I figured I should show off what we've been working on! Some folks have been saying the game isn't being worked on due to the lack of updates, but we prefer to release larger update batches, every three to four months. This is because unlike most adult game project, we DON'T have a Patreon- We appreciate the freedom to cook with larger updates without having to worry about having some sort of monthly release.
Going forward I should probably include some sort of monthly dev log so you guys know we're still alive and kicking even if we don't have monthly builds- but yes, we're working on things still!
October's Update - (Demonic Influence)
- The Party/Clumzor Crossover- Bambi as a Tavern Guest
- BDSM (Stockade) Animations
- Main Story Day 5
- Character Relationship System
Clumzor's been a good friend of mine for a while now. He has this fun, and very sexy, webcomic called The Party that is inspired by a certain popular tabletop roleplaying series. While thinking about who would make a good guest character for the tavern, I realized his character from the comic, Bambi, would actually be the perfect fit! So I asked him and got the OK. And here we are now.
I've avoided succubus/demon characters for the main Dungeon Tavern crew as I felt it would be "too obvious." Izzy fills that role as an Imp, but in an indirect way. Bambi thus covers a niche we don't have, while still being unique due to her design and role as a guest character.
Bambi will be receiving her own set of animations/interactions! As I said the new assets are already completed, but we're showing off the sketches as a preview, to save the full asset reveals for the update.
Additionally, there is a new room added to the tavern. The attic will be available to explore, and comes with a unique piece of furniture that allows for some new types of animations!
Characters will be able to engage in sexual activities while restrained in the stockade. Both oral and vaginal/anal animations will be available- brand new of course.
We'll be adding Day 5 of the main story- along with some other new story content. Some folks have been asking for more of the gay interactions to be weaved into the story mode- and I've been waiting until further into the story to do so, as I figured they would make more sense once Percy and Celeste have more thoroughly been immersed into the world and culture of the monster folk.
I think we're finally getting far enough into the plot to let some of those seeds start growing. Any sort of gay/lesbian story interactions will be optional, so you don't have to go down a gay route with Percy if you don't want to, but the temptation will be there, among others.
Lastly, the relationship & tavern free roam system will be implemented for the story mode. Now instead of simply selection a branching option of who to talk to- you will be able to walk around the tavern and check on your relationship levels with patrons, and choose who you would like to focus your attentions on.
Basically, think of it like, uhh a certain popular game franchise that sounds like "Purse Owner." We hope this helps the story mode experience feel more open and RPG-like. We have plans to have who you build relationships with affect which ending you get, once the game's story mode is completed.
Again, the new update is coming October 28th! Hope you guys are excited with what we have coming up!
