Version 0.1.23.0

This update introduces the asylum, where characters who can't cope with the reality forced on them can adopt a new one. It's content I'd originally planned to make soon after 0.1.0, but I pushed it back until I had a better idea of where to take it. It should help round out the trauma system, as reaching very high trauma levels will now unlock more content as planned. The exact mechanics will likely need tuning.

A lot of work has been done under the hood too, which should help expansion in the future.

Check the most recent update for download links.

Edit: Released 0.1.23.1, which fixes a few bugs, one of them quite major. Notes at bottom of post.
Edit 2: Released 0.1.23.2 which fixes several other bugs.
Edit 2: Released 0.1.23.3, which fixes more bugs.



Patch notes
The colour of hair, eyes and clothes have been adjusted. If you miss any of the old colours let me know, as more will be added in the future.
Thanks to aimozg for many code and image changes that will make adding additional images and colours easier in the future. Relatedly, the hairdresser can now dye your hair white.
Thanks to both Quin2k and aimozg for numerous code improvements.
Awareness can now drop below the starting value. Reaching the new minimum awareness will grant the "innocent" trait, and replace the trauma bar with an innocence bar.
Innocence is reduced by anything that increases awareness, and low control. Running out of innocence will remove the innocent trait, and restore the trauma bar and trauma traits.
Passing out and waking up at the hospital with the "Visibly Disturbed" trait will have you locked up in the asylum.
Accepting their treatments will lower awareness. You will be released if you gain the innocent trait, or your trauma drops low.
There are two other ways to escape. One requires tentacles to be enabled.
Added school status, delinquency and hair length to the cheat menu.

Balance Changes
Increased the duration of pink pills given to you in the pub.
Being hypnotised by Doctor Harper will now decrease awareness.
Some stress and trauma changes outside of combat have been adjusted.

Fixed a bug causing all-boy or all-girl audiences at inappropriate times.

Fixed an error message appearing during an asylum hypnosis scene.
Fixed an error preventing combat images from loading properly for male characters.
Fixed an error appearing when losing your anal virginity.

Version 0.1.22.0

This update adds a cheat menu and new actions for entering the "wrong" changing room while naked. It also incorporates mods by TreeFrogSoup, which add new Whitney events and high level exhibitionism on Domus Street.

Plan for the next update is to implement the asylum. Something that has until now existed only as a single line, deep in the forest.

Check the most recent update for download links.

Patch notes
Made a SugarCube level change that should help performance, courtesy of Pregmodder.
Added a cheat menu. You can enable it in settings, then access it at the bottom of the sidebar.

Version 0.1.21.0

This update adds a new speech action available at high awareness, more severe consequences to entering the wrong changing room, and different character backgrounds that let you begin with alternative stats.

The idea behind the latter addition is to allow experienced players to skip some of the early game, but with drawbacks. Starting with decent school skills means starting with very low status, for example. The cheat menu isn't ready yet, but may appear in the next round of bug fixes. Feedback is appreciated.

Check the most recent update for download links.

Mocking an NPC's insecurities will restore control. Control cannot be restored to a higher amount than you began the encounter with in this way.
Tease is similar, except a successful tease arouses instead of restoring control. Both require a beyond normal awareness.
New characters may choose a background that alters starting stats. Each has a disadvantage.
Entering the wrong changing room at school may now have more severe repercussions.

Balance Changes
The forest ritual scene that can occur following passing out at the lake will now end sooner.

Version 0.1.12.0

This update makes many changes and additions to Robin and the events surrounding them. It also gives the player more control over the gender of NPCs, both named and generic.

I'm sorry for the delay in getting this out. It's by far the longest gap between updates since the initial release. I knew I wouldn't have as much time as normal last week, so I decided I'd keep the scope of 0.1.12.0 small. I then changed my mind like an idiot and tried to cram more content in.

I think my original plan was sensible. Ideally, I'd like to release regular updates at the weekend. We'll see how well that goes. Thank you for your patience.

Edit: Forgot to mention. If you want to use a 0.1.11.X save file, try to save the game away from Robin before loading it in 0.1.12.0. Doing otherwise might cause weirdness due to all the Robin changes.

Edit 2: 0.1.12.1 is available. Fixes several bugs. I reworked how NPC genitals are chosen as part of a fix, and decided to add new options to the NPC settings page while I was at it. Added notes beneath the 0.1.12.0 notes, and updated the download links. Thanks everyone for alerting me to these issues.


Patch Notes
You can now choose to penetrate or envelop NPCs, rather than waiting on them to do it. Requires high promiscuity if the encounter is consensual.
Added sliders to more precisely control the proportion of NPCs that are each gender.
Added a settings page that lets you choose the gender of specific named NPCs.
Robin can be found in the canteen at school during lunch.
Robin can also be found at their lemonade stand on the beach at appropriate times. They'll appreciate help.
Made minor adjustments to the female avatar based on Ulithium_Dragon's example.

Degrees of Lewdity 0.1.0 Release

I started making Degrees of Lewdity as a way to explore what I could do in Twine with virtually no coding experience. Tinkering with it became a hobby and it developed into a coherent game. Now that the basic gameplay loop is functional and it has a decent amount of content, I decided it's time to share.

The game has strong sexual themes, and just lots of sex in general. You've been warned!
