v0.23.1 Update and Species Poll

Hey all, it's mid-month update time! This update features one new story scene, but the primary focus has been on a new type of duty assignment: chain duties. These assignments tell mini-story arcs entirely through duties, and four sets (21 duties in all) have been added in this update. There's still six more sets left to come though, and that will be my primary focus for the rest of the month.

There's also a poll running currently for Liberator+ patrons to choose the next two factions to be added to the game! I'll be adding in one returning species from Carnal Coup and one new faction, the insectoid Roth currently have a strong lead for the returning slot, but the slime/robot competition for the newcomers is still close!

You can check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:

Hey all, it's monthly update time! v0.21.0 is now up for the public at the usual page, with v0.22.0 up for patrons! This update focuses on wrapping up the Harian content (save for some eventual epilogue stuff far down the line), with some smutty action for your Captain to watch. There's also some bug fixes, including for one notable known issue in v.0.21.0 involving Harian portraits. For the next month I'll likely be focusing on the Schen, as well as possibly some new duty assignment features. Check out the Patreon post here for more info, and the patch notes are below:

v0.21.1 Supporter Update

Evening all, it's mid-month update time! This update focuses on the setup for the plotline to 'take over' the Harians' home system, with a couple scenes covering the planning of your...plan. This update also adds portrait artwork for the Happee's DominatorCard CEO, as well as a number of progress flag-related bug fixes. You can check out the Patreon post here, and the patch notes are below. Enjoy!


v0.21.1 Change Log

Game Functions:

  • Minor improvement to scene branching functionality.

Scene Content:

  • First scene in the Harmen System Takeover plotline added. Unlocked 40 hours after the final Harian Leader scene, however the Harian Athletes plotline must also be completed and Choker's relationship type established (either Platonic or Romantic) in order to complete the scene.
  • Second scene in the Harmen System Takeover plotline added. Unlocked 20 hours after the first scene. Has several options for completion, the seduction 'combat' encounter option is still in development and will not currently complete the scene.

Art Content:

  • Happee Leader portrait added to scene and gallery. Nude gallery can be unlocked via cheats.

Codex Entries:

  • None

Bug Fixes:

  • An issue with progress flags would re-close the Victorious Alley scene and the Victorious shop after progressing the Harian leader plotline. These scenes will now be available 40 hours after completing the first Harian Leader scene.
  • A check has been added to unlock the Victorious Athletes CG in the gallery for save games which played the scene before the CG was added.
  • Due to an oversight with progress flags, the player's decision at the end of the Harian Leader plotline was not being properly tracked. Progress on the last Harian Leader scene has been reset if previously played, and the scene will need to be played again.

Known Issues:

  • None

v0.20.1 Supporter Update

Hey all, it's time for the mid-month update! This update features a new portrait set for the Schen leader NPC, and scenes for both the Happee and Harian leaders. The direction I'm going with for the Happee leader plotline is...perhaps a bit unsubtle for me, and is related to a short rant I've given on the Patreon post in regards to recent crackdowns on NSFW content on numerous sites. I'll be moving on with the Harian leader for the rest of the month though, and hopefully bringing that plotline to a close in the near future. Check out the post for more info, and the patch notes are below:

Game Functions:

  • None

Scene Content:

  • Second Happee Leader scene added to the Mining Platform, unlocked 20 hours after the first scene. Added to replay mode. Note: Due to a bug, if the first scene was previously played 20 additional hours will need to pass for the scene to unlock. Note: Portrait is a placeholder.
  • Fourth Harian Leader scene added to the Defense Platform, unlocked 20 hours after the third. Added to replay mode.

Art Content:

  • None

Codex Entries:

  • Schen Leader portraits added to scene and gallery. Nude variant can be unlocked via cheats.
