Degrees of Lewdity version 0.3.3.4

This update adds Sydney the Faithful. They're a hardworking student, temple initiate, and love interest. It also adds a new option to stalk encounters, among other mechanical improvements.

Sydney assists the school librarian, and manages the new shop. They can also be found at the temple, performing their duties or simply in prayer. However, something lurks beneath their straight-laced exterior, waiting to be coaxed to the surface. Most love interests' behaviour changes depending on how you interact with them, but Sydney goes further.

NPC virginities are now tracked. This is important for Sydney as their purity is particularly relevant, but it applies to other characters as well. Many NPCs begin the game with one or more virginities already taken, depending on their experience. NPCs can now also wear chastity belts, though only those at the temple don them currently.

This was a much shorter gap between updates than normal, but PurityGuy has been working on Sydney for months. Making a character with so much interactivity is difficult, and no other love interest has debuted with this much content. A huge thanks to PurityGuy for his hard work!

Big thanks to the other contributors as well, including Lollipop Scythe, who's been busy under the hood, preparing future content and mechanics.

On another topic, I've added the "Confront" ability to stalk encounters, which forces the phase to end at once, but increases the chance of an assault. I wanted to include it last update, but pushed it back for time. I'm broadly happy with how the mechanics have been received, but there's lots of room for improvement. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Next update will add the prison.

Edit: Updated to 0.3.3.2, fixing bugs.
Edit 2: Updated to 0.3.3.3, fixing more bugs.
Edit 3: Updated to 0.3.3.4, fixing further bugs.
Edit 4: There's a problem with history controls in the current version, and setting them higher than 1 can break saves made at a shop or wardrobe. It's set to 1 by default, and hopefully isn't an issue for most. Sorry for the bother.

  4. Can we get more QoL cheats?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. More QoL cheats are planned. Specifically, I still need to do cheats for NPC virginities. Perhaps I should add NPC chastity cheats too.

      Delete
    2. if you're planning to tweak the cheats, my recommendation would be to add a button to drain all arousal/Raise it by 60%. I know the ruin/restore options already do that to some extent but they affect all stats and go to the extremes. Being able to quickly decide whether to drain or fill your arousal with just one click would be appreciated, given how often I had to spam the max options to adjust it myself haha.

      Delete
    3. Also, another useful addition would be the option to spawn items. While most items can be bought straight after starting the game, a few of the pesky ones, like the hidden shop and especially all the gags/restraints can only be obtained after a lot of hours in a character and aimless searching/rape encounters. Quite annoying. An easy route for filthy cheaters like me would be greatly appreciated.

    Heck of a fast one, Vrel. And after I'd just given up the Angel TF on my last character. Ah well, no harm in another. Good luck on the prison, looking forward to it. Got myself a master thief style character I'm working on that'll enjoy it. Or won't. Either way.

  21. Hey Vrelnir and Purity, great update, and I'd love to play it, but I've come here for questions.

    I've been noticing that the past few updates all of my older save files have been... broken. All the animations on every encounter and even daily life (ie the Status Portrait/Area Backgrounds) and even the fix animations only serves as a stopgap measure, sometimes. It fixes the animation for the turn, but then it reverts back to a frozen/broken state on the next. Sometimes, it doesn't even fix it at all (X-rays tend to suffer the most here) and just remains stuck no matter how many times I press the F button (reloading doesn't help either).
    The older my files, the worse it becomes, especially on my oldest Male PC. Even new files only work "fine" the first few hours, I've encountered these animation glitches even on blank slate characters who are playing on the first or second day of September. These glitches persist in both my PC and mobile versions, which share save files (I just update them back and forth)

    Another problem is saving itself. Especially on mobile, it simply does not let me save;
    "Error: localStorage quota exceeded.

    Stack Trace: Error: Failed to execute 'setItem' on 'Storage':
    Setting the value of 'degrees-of-lewdity.ssaves exceeded quota.
    at e.value

    (file:///android_asset/www/Degrees%20of%20Lewdity.html:1:1)"

    Is the only solution to delete everything and start over? Making new characters doesn't seem to help much. I have plenty of space on my phone and PC (several GB).

    Thank you for your work as always, hope to be able to play new update soon!

    1. That's a scary looking error. For the animations, I can only recommend using something other than Chrome. As for the mobile saving bug, I'm not too sure. Some older mobile devices have had trouble with DoL lately.

      Delete
    2. I've tried using Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox. Nothing works. I'm basically unable to play the game properly any more. Its either a painful broken mess or straight up unresponsive, and its just not fun to play when you cant even save anymore. I'm really considering just deleting everything relating to DoL and starting from scratch. Its a shame, since my oldest PC has been through many ingame months, and is the most developed.

      Delete
    3. "Quota Exceeded" means that there's not enough local storage allowed to make a new save (it's usually restricted to 5mb per site). most likely caused by having the history setting set to a very high value (having it at 20 means your saves are now 20 times bigger). It is estimated that values above 5 have a potential to exhaust the 5mb of local storage when all 9 save slots are filled.

      Delete
    4. Like Puri says, that looks like a problem with the game using too much local storage, which is where normal saves are kept. DoL is allocated a limited amount. Deleting some of your save files might help. Export backups first!

      I don't believe that would solve the other problems though. Sorry for the trouble.

      Delete
  22. Great update, I already love Sydney and I've joined the temple just for them. Can't wait for the next update!

    Also, I started a new game for this update and my Swimming stat has a '-10%' in brackets below it, I've had this randomly happen before with another pc so I'm pretty sure this is a bug.

    1. I'm glad you enjoy them! A swimming debuff can be caused by your attire or "moor luck". Most often, a debuff is caused by inappropriate footwear. I'll be sure to look into any erroneous cuses,though.

    3. I've just started this playthrough though, all my pc wears is the school uniform with the school shoes, not sure what "moor luck" is but I'm gonna assume it's not that since I haven't been to the moor yet (if it even has anything to do with the moor). As I said it's happened randomly before with an old pc after an update even though they didn't change clothes or shoes etc.

      The factory won't take strange flowers, but I might add another lucrative use for them.

    2. Is it possible to use the strange flowers at the cafe by putting in on the buns as decoration that up demand? Or even give an npc a flower to up their lust a tad? Maybe use them during photoshoots with Leighton, or helping Harper collect more aphrodisiacs? Possibly even in the prayer room to accidentally summon a tentacle monster?
      PurityGuy: Definitely loving Sydney so far~ Beats Winter and Wren as my favorite npc! Definitely enjoying more Temple content at that~ (Forcing my character to be chaste to spend time with Sydney v.v)

  31. I'm back! It's been a while since my old phone broke and I lost my previous DoL playtrough and saves.
    Glad to see the game keeps improving and that you still hears our suggestions Vrel (the book rental was an idea that some people including me suggested when the 3star system at school grades were still fresh), you and your collaborators never cease of amaze me.

    I don't know if there is already implemented into the game but can I make a suggestion? Make a friendship/rivalry out of Kylar and Robin interactions.
    I know how hard is to write scenes that involve various love interest but the Kylar/Whitney hostility towards each other during their shared scenes proves that it can be possible to make and polish over time.

    And I also know that Kylar's jealousy and the personalities of those two wouldn't make it possible a friendship between Kylar and Robin at first, but they have a couple of things in common:
    • Both of them really like videogames
    • Both of them are quite smart and good at academics
    and of course:
    • Both of them are fond of our PC

    It can begin with scenes where they acknowledges each other, for example: Kylar can butt in while talking with Robin about videogames at lunch, resulting in a pleasant conversation between the three of us, or Robing mentioning that he is not doing very well in a certain subject at class, and with Kylar overhearing everything and offering some advices. These scenes would continue until they both sit together to wait for us to have lunch from time to time and can go even further with Robin inviting Kylar to their room to play videogames or Kylar having a joint study session with them after school.

    That should do it, if it weren't for us being the love interest of both. As the days go by we could notice how the tension increases between them and begin to wring for our attention, making surrepticious moves to endear to us and keeping their rival at bay. With high promiscuity and having both of them as love interests they couldn't fully accept that you have feelings for the other person but respects your wishes ... which doesn't mean that we are going to have a love triangle, because the next objective of both Kylar and Robin would be to make their rival withdraw, teasing them during dates: Robin could suggest having a date at the park or the arcade simply to rub us in Kylar's face (wow, that sounds so improper for Robin😅), and Kylar doing the same having a walk at the beach with us and ending it in Robin's lemonade stand.
    At last, with a high jealousy rate and having Robin as one of the love interest would trigger a different version of the kidnapping event but with Kylar kidnapping Robin instead of us and leaving Robin traumatized as their missing event after the rescue.

    Anyway, it's been so long that I don't remember if I already suggested this before, but if it wasn't me, I'm pretty sure that someone has already made a similar request. As always thanks in advance Vrelnir, I hope you like my contribution after a long time and I apologize if suddenly the message doesn't have much coherence: in my country it is already after 2am and I am sleepy😴

    1. It's nice to hear from you. Thanks for your thoughts. I'm glad you like the changes!

      More interactions between the love interests would be cool, though their shared interest in the PC lends more to rivalry than to friendship. I like the idea of Kylar kidnapping their rivals a lot.

      Thanks again. I hope you sleep well!

    2. I'm all in for the Kylar/Robin "friendly-ish" interactions ! As it stands, I believe the game is meant to represent how a singular person can survive in this hell of a town, but also how they're able to shape it into something more. The Fame stats, the impact on the Orphanage, on Alex's farm... Ultimately, I believe the "end" of this game will take into account the way you bettered or worsened the town's situation. As such, it makes sense that we'd be able to help Love Interest get along, sort their problems out and this kind of stuff.

      It's mostly wishful thinking, however.

      Delete
    3. You're right that I'd like any endings to reflect the impact the PC's decisions have had on the town, as well as on themselves.

  32. IMHO the main strength of the game is atmosphere, narrative, depiction of characters, variety of events and combat system. My jaw hit the floor when I first discovered this game. It's amasing! Though combat system is already good as it is, I hope it won't be bloated by excess functionality too much.

    1. Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

      New actions need to be tied into the game's mechanics and atmosphere. Combat should feel like a struggle, and there's a risk of losing that if I'm not careful.

  47. Thank you for the update as always, you all are doing a superb work !

    Would it be possible to have a "randomize" option to the character creation menu ? Sure you can choose a bit randomly yourself or throw dice or something, but having the game itself doing it would be cool.

    It could be just for the physical aspect of the character or could also have the option to randomize the others settings ?

    Maybe it could also be a quickstart/difficulty settings ? Locking the game at the chosen difficulty and not having the choice to choose the PC characteristics ?

    I'm more talking about the physical traits (height, sensitivity, gender,...) than the look but it could works for the appearance too for thoses who don't care.

    I don't have a clear finished idea myself so food for thoughts ;)

  49. hey! great additions to the game, but i was wondering if you're planning on adding sex toys to the game soon? And, also a sex shop where you could buy them. It'd be a great addition since, well, the only method to play with yourself is using a finger(Only one) and it'd be a great way to play your partner, too

    Also, are ou perhaps planning on adding the ability to play with yourself during sexual encounters with other npc's? I've been thinking about those for a while.

  53. "Gloryholes will once again require promiscuity 4 to enter."
    How is that a "fix"? The lower gloryhole promiscuity requirement had been listed as a feature, one I know I wasn't alone in enjoying. According to 3.2's post, it was a change made by Annon173, but in this update, it was undone by braymann. Is there a contributor war going on? I really don't understand. Vrelnir, please help maintain consistency.

    Also, Alex's Farm options are a bit better, but their formatting is still kinda broken at night, look at "Clear the yard" and "Rest near the stables" in this screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/dnUpxxm

    1. You can. You need high love, lust, and corruption/purity, and then you need to get in a few sexual encounters with them. High promiscuity will help with this.

  56. Can things go any further with Sydney? Love is at 100%, lust is at 100%, purity is at 1% and won't go any lower but nothing is really happening, they said they got their anal shield removed but there was nothing to do with that information, everything has stayed pretty much the same, I really love this character and was hoping to see more of the content to do with what's lurking behind their straight-laced exterior. Is this as far as it goes right now or does purity need to be higher, or do I need to remove my pcs chastity belt?.....Do I need to return books late?

    1. There's much more yet. Certain events can replace their purity stat with corruption, and you need either high purity or high corruption to take it further with Sydney.

  62. Super glad that micro dicks were added. But is it currently the case that micro dicks cum extra small amounts and that NPC's can notice and mock you about it? Further do micro dicks allow you to accrue insecurity about your small penis quicker/trigger small penis noticing events more often? Either would likely be a solid addition if you have the time.

    Also are we going to get even larger NPC cocks eventually? I remember some mentioning of making NPC's able to have horse sized cocks in the future but I don't know if it ever bore fruit.

  71. It's a shame that sex with Sydney in the prayer room is vague and up to the player's imagination since you REALLY don't know if you actually had sex or not because of the hallucinogens.

    That kinda dampened my excitement towards the new love interest but it was still fun regardless. Just not gonna be a primary love interest is all.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I am 99% sure there are quite some more situations where Sydney is sexable, but the entirety of their content seems to be interactive, variable and depending on many different stats to the point where it is just confusing. In a natural way, kinda, but it's such a difference to all other LIs.
      As I take it Sydney being the most complicated and hard-to-really-get Loveinterest is 1 of the downsides to them (all Romance Options have one, Robin the 2x Baily Payment thing, Whitney regularly abusing the player, Kylar being an outsider and also a psychopath if not handled correctly...)

      Delete
    2. I'm just a bit miffed that all other love interests are interpreted clearly that you are ACTUALLY performing coitus with them. While you have Sydney with just an illusion, which is I interpret, very orgasmic for the PC and Sydney but all of that is under the influence. Thus, not genuinely real. At least IMO.

      Delete
    3. I totally get you but I am saying that there are more scenes, I am starting all over again tonight but yesterday I reached the point where Sydney started to become desperate to have actual intercourse with my character. When going to buy a swimwear for her I got the option to join her in the cabin and the result was a real encounter, if I had managed to get rid of the chastity belt (admittedly I have yet to find out how to do that, not sure if it can be done during encounters (by force, the way NPCs can do it as well) but the patchnotes imply that could be 1 way, as do Sydney's own words.
      Aside from that scene there also is the oral scene in the Library but that ofc isn't the same. I've yet to discover if there are more opportunities to have sex with Sydney but I would guess so, going by PurityGuy's replies in the comment section here. It seems as if there are certain special moments that trigger randomly when conditions are met that advance things in regards to Sydney's chastity belt.

      Things I did: I did not join the Temple, but tried to spent as much time as possible with Sydney, first advancing her love stat and then, at some point, I began to lower her purity, cause I went out of ideas how to advance things with her being pure.
      Due to quite a bit of luck I managed to increase my character's promiscuity and exhibitionism to 4 without loosing any virginity, so purity was still maxed out, but I could initiate the "under the desk" encounter with Sydney in the Library, switching her stat from purity to corruption meter. The more her corruption raised the more straightforward she became, until she, as I explained at the beginning, started to get really annoyed by her chastity belt.

      If I am not mistaken PurityGuy confirmed Sydney's belt can already be removed, and if this doesn't lock you out of going to the swimwear shopping with Sydney you should be able to initiate a proper encounter there if your character is primscuous enough. Not sure if Sydney already has to be corrupted a bit for that or not.
      Also I can't guarantee that that scene can be accessed indefinitely, cause the options for clothes to buy go down with each of the 4 or 5 items picked.

      Delete
    4. I'm just a bit miffed that all other love interests have clear and concise sex while Sydney's is not genuinely real since it's under the influence of an aphrodisiac hallucinogen, thus, an illusionary sex act.

      True, it's orgasmic for the PC and Sydney but again, it's not real.

      Delete
  72. Good evening, first of all thanks to both of you (dear Vrel & PurityGuy) for your replies, I started my new game yesterday, as I said, and I am really impressed and engrossed by Sydney, and ofc it's a little insane just how much content there is for them already, and a lot of it just perfectly blends in the game.
    I do have a couple of questions though, cause I got a little confused by how things went/worked. I read through the comments here so I probably got some of my answers already, but since I will start all over yet again today (if I am lucky enough to still get a reply at this time) and I am a little scared to mess up things again.

    First things first: In your reply you told me that I should probably join the temple cause it "helps a lot" with Sydney. I would be really grateful if you could elaborate on that, what do I miss out on by not joining the temple? (I have a great aversion against the people there so that, up to this day, is actually content I've never really explored, cause whenever I have to do with the Nuns I am pretty appalled, maybe it's me not being a native speaker but the way I understand the stuff makes me feel as if the temple people are among the most unforgivable pieces of trash, even kinda en par with the likes of Leighton and Bailey. Part of that might be the fact that I live under the impression joining the temple, de facto, comes with nothing but disadvantages and makes the game even harder and more depressing.) Do I miss out on special scenes with Sydney but not joining the temple? If so I might force myself to do it for once and see what's there. (Sorry if this sounds like ranting, I really don't mind the temple being the way it is, but since I am weirdly uncomfortable with the little bits of stuff i saw happening there it really is not my cup of tea exploring the temple, or it wasn't up until now, cause Sydney makes up for a lot of things.

    My second question is: How do I get Sydney to become the top in the relationship? I might it to the point where Syd starts to actually complain about being caged and that they want to penetrate the player character etc., Corruption began to go up pretty quickly, Sydney said something along the lines of "break the belt forcibly, be rougher with me", while her general behavior became a lot more forward and self assured, so I would assume I have to corrupt her for her to top my pc? If so that is totally fine by me, but I must admit I did not even intend to corrupt her from the start, it more like happened when going for the "under desk" option in the library, which I picked out of desperation, cause things did not advance after 2hs of nonstop trying to advance the relationship without being like that. (For roleplays sake I really did want to treat her with nothing but respect and admiration, not really be a bad influence, lol)
    Funnily enough that had me end up with the situation of my character transforming into an angel while ruining Sydney, which did not really feel all that alright? Though I can't deny it's written in a pretty charming way, so even there I can' complain. It's just that I am left pretty confused and maybe a tiny tad bit frustrated by myself (I seem to be to stupid to understand the mechanics around Sydney).

    Long story short: Would you mind telling me how I can end up with Sydney becoming the pc's top (if that is even possible), are there ways to encourage her spanking (etc) the pc in general & if that is tied to her corruption/purity please tell me which does what.

    Sorry for the wall of text, I wouldn't babble so much if this update hadn't blown away the tiny rest of my brain. ^^

  75. So I was wondering if its possible to add a bike, specifically a mountain bike so it's easier to get to and from Eden's cabin each day rather then taking a minimum of 1 hour per trip.

    Also would be cool to be able to buy a car, or rent one, which could open other story avenues with it....

    And last piece I thought of was that I'd love to be able to buy musical instruments to play and practice at the Cabin.

    I'll still play this even if you ignore this message cause I genuinely have been enjoying the game and I will be subbing to substar once I get home as i have allready sunk 30 hours into it, lol.

    Also really just want more Eden content, he's a sweet heart 💖
