Degrees of Lewdity version 0.4.5.3

This update adds handheld items in the form of a new clothing category. It also adds new events to the pirate ship, café, and elsewhere.

Huge thanks to Kirsty for handheld items, and for such fantastic sprites. They include an umbrella, parasols, a feather duster, and bags such as purses and backpacks. They work like other clothing, with a section at shops and wardrobes. Some items have the "bookbag" trait, which is useful at school. Future weapons will fit in this slot.

The new slot also allows for props during certain scenes. A new Whitney scene in the park makes good use of it.

Elsewhere, another stall will now be set up on the beach during summer. The PC's actions will determine whether this is a help or a hindrance to Robin's business. Be careful!

This was an unusually brief gap between updates, but I wanted something out for Christmas, and contributors have been very busy! Another thanks to Kirsty, to all the contributors, and to you for playing!

Merry Christmas, and a happy new year!

Edit: Updated to 0.4.5.2, fixing bugs.
Edit 2: Updated to 0.4.5.3, making minor adjustments and fixing bugs.

  2. Thanks for the update!

    A question though: is more pregnancy content in terms of NPCs reacting to the PC fathering/carrying their child coming or has it been gradually been entering the game? I haven't played in a few updates waiting for such content with Robin, Kylar, and that, but the Whitney cigarette mention has me curious since I don't remember reading about such content in other updates.

    1. I think it's gradually coming. First was Black Wolf, now recently released Alex. I think all love interests (so far at least) have it planned.

  7. Hi Vrelnir, I've been following the game's development since the beginning of 2022, and I must admit that seeing so many additions and improvements makes me very excited for the future of the game. I'm going to write a rather long text but it's because I want to take advantage of the fact that you tend to respond a lot here and I would really like to see your points of view in relation to the optimization and implementation of some specific mechanics that I've been thinking about for a few days. I know it's right to use the Discord suggestions tab, but I really wanted to know your point of view on the points I'm going to present here, in advance, I apologize for your stolen time, and I'm happy if you read everything. 1⁰ love interests: personally my favorite mechanic, and I would really like it to be more in-depth, I know that the plan now is to add multiple things so that in the future I can take advantage of this to deepen what already exists, but at the same time I feel that the relationship that we have with our love interests are very superficial, I'll use Robin as an example because she's my favorite NPC, I genuinely wanted to get to know her more, even though we have a decent number of events with her, sometimes I just wish we could get together choose what we would say to her, not something very complex, but instead of being that repetitive text (you have a pleasant/friendly conversation) countless question options could appear, such as "what's your favorite outfit?" (it's a silly example just to get an idea) suggest things, like going to the shower together, this would be very interesting for us to know how our love interest works, know their hobbies, a possible past, or how they feel about something or some npc, seriously a great way to get to know our romantic interests better. Another very welcome thing is also something similar, but with our PC expressing himself, for example, I personally really like long socks, and it's really interesting that our character says something like "long socks I like, could you wear them?" or take advantage of our character's traits such as sadist or masochist and ask if we could be more aggressive, or ask to be attacked, I believe that this serious mechanic is very difficult to implement, but it would definitely be incredible.

    2⁰npc creator: I know that everything in degress is meant to be interpretative and everyone has their own vision of the named npcs, but it's really cool to add our character creation system to the named npc's, although some already have pre-defined descriptions like Avery, Seriously cool if we could at least get a glimpse of them in the same way we had of ivory, but it's just an idea

    3⁰ Being the predator: I know this would be a lot of work, but I wanted to know if at some point this mechanic will exist, or at least in some event we can be the predator, there was a time when I was robbing the houses on Rua danubio, and There's that event with the gagged woman tied up and with a vibrator, I thought if we had some high level, I thought we could take advantage of the situation, it could increase the trauma and decrease purity, or something like that, but that's just an idea too .

    Replies
    1. 4⁰: More fetishes: as the name of the game says "degress of lewdity", it's seriously interesting to implement most of the fetishes that exist, precisely because in my opinion, this is the game's difference, and even though I've read that events like "watersports" are not they are of great interest to the creator, I still think this should be more comprehensive, since we are in a lost city, nothing fairer than having the most lost fetishes possible, anyway, this is another random idea too In general, that's it, I hope I didn't bother you too much with the text, but I didn't want to create false expectations and I also wanted to know your view on these ideas and mechanics. In between, all the best to you and thank you very much for creating a game so unique and different from anything I've ever seen, to be honest, if it weren't for the sensitive themes the game addresses, in the future it could easily be recognized as a pseudo game of the year, if this project has so much originality, I will always follow you, success and thank you very much for reading

      Delete
    2. It's good to hear you've been around as long as that. Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you're enjoying the project.

      I agree love interests have a lot of potential for more slice of life style content. The only thing holding it back is the time it would take to write it.

      I also agree it would be cool to give named NPCs more visual representation, though as you say, I don't want to intrude on the way people imagine those characters. We'd need to represent more than the PC currently can, I believe.

      The option to be the predator is on the maybe pile for the distant future. It would expand the scope of the game a lot, and it's a full plate already!

      I'm not against adding more fetishes, but the muses land where they will.

      Thanks again for the feedback, and such kind words. It's no problem at all.

  12. Thank Vrel and the team. The last update was just released 10 days ago, and now we have a new one. You guys are amazing! However, there seem to be some bugs that I found in Whitney's new event.

    The PC's speech shows no difference despite having different attitudes.
    And when I checked the code, I found that there should be a new event if the PC's shotgun count is greater than 1, but it hasn't been properly displayed in the game.

    Btw the new events and the handheld items are great, thanks for your efforts. Merry Christmas and happy new year!

      Vrelnir, I am very excited about the handheld items! Can’t wait to retire that silly sou’wester and keep my fox mask on instead. I love the clothing updates too, dressing up my silly little PC brings me great joy in such a dark (but fun!!) game. Have a safe and happy holiday, and thank you for managing to squeeze out another update so soon, I wasn’t expecting this lovely little Christmas gift! Can’t wait to explore the pirate ship too!

    5. Wow anon way to show you have NO idea all the hard work that goes into making a game. I’m glad everyone seems to agree you’re an absolute asshole. And I’m saying that as someone who really wants more pregnancy content too. Be patient and grateful they’re doing such a great job in other areas. I am sure their plate is already very full with all the requests they get! Not everything is about you and what you want. (Sorry for the rant, I just work hospitality and rude attitudes like this make my blood boil)

  20. I want to say that we appreciate all your hard work on building this game. I hope you do not feel pressured to rush content in the game. Ideally, I'd rather play a game with lot's to do in a small space that is quality, rather than play a vastly large game with not much to do with low quality.

    3. No, it's Vrel's habit to deal with all messages, he's just been too busy lately. 🥺He will reply to previous blog comments again, it's customary. He even replied to some of the comments that were moved to new blogs twice or thrice.
      So I'm not going to reopen some of the questions I've left, so I'll just be patient and wait for him to reply!

    4. Nah, if you follow all the previous posts, sometimes he replied to the previous blog, but sometimes he didn't, don't take it for granted. I just think he doesn't need to do that because it's too much work and may cause overlap.

      Delete
    5. Thanks! I didn't find out about this until I followed it too.
      He's replied many times to duplicate questions that have been re-carried by players, and I don't want to burden him with any more excesses, so I won't repeat the questions. Of course, I'm just giving an idea of what I think, everyone's decision is their own, so please don't take this the wrong way 😘

    24. Does Bailey love his parents?
    25.Can you describe in detail how Bailey's cooking tastes?
    26. If someone offers a high price to buy the PC, but the PC has been paid this week and does not agree to be sold, will Bailey forcibly sell the PC against the PC's will?
    27.Did Bailey ever smoke a hookah?
    28. If PC told Bailey that there were tentacles in the bathtub at the orphanage and asked Bailey to handle them, would Bailey do it?
    29. Were the goons that Bailey called in to collect the rent really asking for money or just sparring partners? Has Bailey ever seriously fought with a PC? If Bailey is serious, can he beat the PC who is tall, masochistic, sadistic and full of physical strength?
    30. When did Bailey meet his crush?
    31. Will Bailey take the initiative to go to the attic? Does he know about the covert activities of the PC?
    32. How much time does Bailey spend with the children in the nursery? Is it possible to see Bailey babysitting PC's children in the nursery in the future?
    33. Will there be more Bailey rescues in the future?
    34. Does Bailey have the ability to bring back the PC on the island for debt? (PC:help! I'm covered in tattoos!)

  33. I think characters with high sex stats should be able to have a mode that lets them lighten up and enjoy non-con sex. Could reduce trauma and stress, at the cost of making the encounter something you cant fight through, and doubles rape fame (And add sex fame) gained in scripted events.
    Should not reduce trauma build up of particularly brutal assaults, like the drug dealer gang bang for example. Might also lend the pc in hotter water, like a rare chance of being put in a car and kidnapped or called boring by people actually wanting a fight.

      2. The orphanage and the brothel have sex toys inventory. Could you add the same option to the strip club?

    2. And now that I've actually played the update: thank you so much for new Whitney scenes!

    2. I'm more interested in the addiction side of things. Maybe stuff like cigarettes can reduce stress but if you don't get your fix withdrawal can cause negatives. Maybe stimulants could be used outside math comp and instead used like coffee+++. Heroin could be added and reduces trauma but easy to get hooked on.

  44. Reposting this on here, sorry for the trouble🥲
    1. Saw above your reply to the question about Whitney’s exes (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) What would the number be if the exes were people he actually had feelings for? Not just casual.
    2. What if PC had a monetized, weekly podcast with a friend and talked about various funny topics? What would Whitney & Bailey think about it?
    3. If Bailey were to drink tea or coffee in his office and found it was spiked with a very strong aphrodisiac, who would he go after to fix his problem?
    4. What would high love/low lust Whitney do if PC ran up to them in the park and hugged them while being chased by a rapist?
    5. What about if PC was possessed by the wraith and Whitney or Bailey saw them stumbling in the streets towards the forest with different coloured eyes and ignoring them?
    6. Would Whitney still share around PC if they were heavily pregnant?
    7. Hypothetically, if Whitney had a kid, would he give the kid one of his plushies that he totally doesn’t own?
    8. Is more soft Whitney content planned? Soft Whitney has my heart <33
    9. Bit more of a personal question, how do you handle criticism? Was it ever difficult for you or did it become easier over time?

    1. It's no trouble! I'm glad you like the game.
      1. They were all casual, so perhaps none.
      2. Bailey would make sure the PC wasn't saying anything that would reflect badly on them, and have no problem with it if they weren't. Whitney would try to crash it.
      3. There are a number of people, but none living in the orphanage.
      4. They'd try to drive the rapist.
      5. They'd both try to apprehend the PC.
      6. Aye.
      7. Absolutely. They'd say they just bought it.

  48. An update on my birthday? You shouldn't have! But really, thanks for all the hard work from all the contributors and happy holidays!

    1. All the NPCs have British accents I'm sure, but what specific types of British accents? Any that are particularly noteworthy?
    2. What are each of the LIs (and Wren's and Jordan's) favorite holiday?
    3. And what about favorite animal? For the LIs, Wren, and Jordan again.
    4. Would Whitney quit smoking for PC? And if not for PC, what about if kids were brought into the equation?
    5. Does Whitney have a dream job?
    6. Would Eden homeschool their kid?
    7. Did Eden always like hunting since they were young or is it something they picked up later in life?
    8. Would Eden still force themself on PC even after learning about PCs traumas and unwanted encounters? I know Eden has a tendency to do so when mad, but is that because of limitations of the game or is Eden just like that? And if they are just like that, are they apologetic after?
    9. Possibility of a fishing minigame?

    And please have mercy on my Ivory Wraith loving soul. I'm sure lots of questions can't be answered for such a lore involved character, but I hope these are innocuous enough...

    10. Society has probably changed a lot over the duration of IW's existence, does IW have any particular thoughts about modern technology?
    11. If I gave IW a ghost smartphone would they watch ghost YouTube? Would they text me back? Would they take pictures?
    12. Would IW show up in photos at all? Would only certain people be able to see them?
    13. Would IW still torment me if I was a worm?
    14. Does IW get along with their fish neighbors? Or would they consider them pests?
    15. IW seems to laugh a lot. Is that mostly because they're a crazy, creepy ghost or did they happen laugh a lot back when they were alive too?

      4. Only if they or the PC became pregnant.
      5. Nope.
      6. Aye.
      7. They picked it up as a young adult.
      8. They would, unaware that their attentions could worsen the PC's situation. It's other people who are a threat to the PC, in their eyes. The PC is safe in the cabin.
      9. Reasonable.

      10. The important things, as far as they see, are eternal.
      11. Yes, but it might be more than you bargained for.
      12. Only certain people would be able to see them.
      13. Maybe.

    2. I really appreciate how much room for the player's imagination you reserve, especially in regards to the imagery of the LIs.
      I've always thought that the small amount of visual art (and non-existent sound effects) is what makes DoL most fascinating as a largely text-based game. Of course the pixel art you and the contributors provide is still invaluable and essential, but it plays a supporting rather than a defining role. The here and now is a wonderful balance.

      No matter how far the graphical technology of games has progressed, the ability of the human mind to imagine images (sorry if some people are mind blind, but I'm sure there's unique beauty in your fantasies as well) - this kind of ambiguous, sort of could call it ineffective images still has its own special beauty, before mankind completely gave up on their biological bodies. I love the imagery that comes with that ambiguity.
      What anyone gets out of the DoL's experience is unique to them alone.
      Games that are immersive are amazing, but DoL is also a unique game.

      These are, of course, just my humble opinions, and I respect anyone's opinion on this. I'm very confident that you know what's best for DoL as well, and I'll be supportive of whatever you decide to modify and improve DoL in the future.

    5. I pasted this one because I wanted you to see it earlier <3

      Vrel, one thing I especially like about you is the way you use, or imitate, other people's language habits when you reply to comments (I'm not sure if that describes it well), is this something you do intentionally? It makes people feel very thoughtful, a sense of being respected, and it looks especially sweet and lovely. Not to mention the enormous amount of patience you put into it. You are such a very warm, friendly and empathetic soul.

      And you are very genuine and modest in the face of criticism*, which is really appreciated.
      * Sorry, I think this is a bit harsh as I haven't seen overly scathing comments here so far, but I don't know how to properly describe it. Almost everyone I've seen here has been friendly.
      Edit: I did see some less friendly comments, but I hope they don't affect your mood!

      Here's a small question: I saw someone ask how to pronounce your name Vrelnir, which is cute! If you'd like, could you tell me what it means and why you use the name?

      Give yourself a good holiday! You've worked really hard this year, thank you!

      Delete
    6. No problem <3 Thank you for such lovely and kind words!

      We have the contributors to thank for such wonderful holiday gifts this year!

      One of the advantages of a text-based game is the room it leaves for player imagination, but I still wanted a little art. A little art can go a long way, and I'm glad you like the approach in DoL.

      Mirroring other people's language habits is semi intentional. I'm aware I'm doing it, but it just happens naturally. It feels polite, and I think it works both ways. It's kind of you to say I'm friendly, but that's easy with a community like this!

      I'm not sure where the name Vrelnir came from! I needed a name, and there it was. I liked the sound of it.

      I'll have a lovely holiday thank you! I hope you do as well.

  52. Merry Christmas Vrel! Just some small questions.

    Which LIs are more welcomed by animals?
    Which LIs are more welcomed by children? (My rationality tells me that Robin or Alex would be more popular among kids, but who knows? Children are like cats, they partial towards those who are allergic to them🤷🏾)
    Also, is it possible for us to celebrate our children's birthdays? It doesn't mean the child will grow up or anything; it just adds a festival to the game that we can celebrate with the child's father/mother.

    What about the sparrow?
    I doubt the sparrow would peck Robin because sparrows can't draw bows and shoot arrows.
    3. We should be able to orgasm while flirting with Robin, or rather, in Robin's room.
    4. Why didn’t Robin let PC lift up his clothes to flirt with others during class, but didn’t seriously ask PC to get dressed when PC ran around naked to advertise his hot chocolate?
    5. What will happen if the PC asks Robin if I am more fun or the console is more fun?

  58. Merry Christmas!This update was a real surprise!
    The bags are lovely!Nice writing of the incident with the booze for Alex, and having some conflict with Alex I thought was funny, after all they were sort of mild mannered towards the PCs before.Now this little incident tells us that they still get pissed off when they can't drink XP, how funny is that, Alex has a real drinking problem.Some flaws will give the character dimension。Thanks to you, index and cutiland for this.
    Some quick questions:
    1. What is Alex's favourite flower?(I noticed that all the other characters had one, but no one had asked Alex, and I thought sunflowers would be appropriate.)
    2. Has Alex's family ever lived in this town?
    3. Who else watches anime besides Kylar?

    1. Thank you! You're right that Kylar is lonely. This is part of the reason for their obsession. The PC being kind to Kylar when they first meet brings feelings on suddenly, but they develop regardless. They've a natural attraction to the PC that other aspects of their personality latch onto.

  63. Thank you for new update, I was so pleasantly surprised when I saw it!
    I’m so happy that PC can finally hold an umbrella!
    I would like to take this opportunity to ask you some questions. I hope it does not cause any trouble to you!

    1. If the orphans make a mess in their room, will Bailey ask them to clean it up?
    2. Why doesn't Bailey like orphans ordering food? Is it because they think delivery food is not nutritious? Or is it because Bailey doesn't like to see outsiders visiting the orphanage easily?
    3. If Bailey cooks seriously, can they make delicious dishes?
    4. Has Eden ever spoken to Avery?
    5. I saw a player ask you before, "If PC's parents pay the full debt to Bailey, will Bailey let PC leave or not?" Your answer was "They would not."
    Does this mean that PC is more than just a commodity in Bailey's mind? Or does Bailey just think that keeping PC can gain greater business benefits?

    I'm sorry to ask you so many questions, and thank you for taking the time out to breathe in my words!

Moreover, my PC made a lot of money during this year and built facilities everywhere, but I never gave Bailey a penny! I'm curious about what Bailey thinks of this kind of PC?
    Thank you for the update and have a happy holiday!

    1. I'm glad you like it!
      Bailey is irritated by, but respects PCs like that. They won't let up the pressure though. They might have more tools for snaring wayward PCs in the future.

  65. How does access ruined orgasm content/scenes? I know it has to do with the ear slime, but I haven't seen anything yet.

  66. Some suggestions for things to be added when Sydney gets pregnancy content (for Rite of Promise path)

    There should be a new evaluation/ancient holy ritual, to allow two initiates who have been promised to each other to start having kids. While still require that both initiates have retained high purity and be in good grace with the temple.

    And if passed, both initiates will be asked to hand over all items that would prevent or lower the chance of a pregnancy happening (condom, pills, etc). And being caught with some on you will lead to being punished, as the temple now expects the two of you to start having kids.

    And if both of you have become a monk/nun at the temple (either before or after you've been given permission to have kids), then you could gain access to more private quarters, where you'll be sharing a bed, and hopefully concive (the private quarters are there to not disturb the other monks/nuns who are trying to sleep, and to not induce any lust to the other monks/nuns)

    Jordan could offer prayers to increase the chance of a pregnancy happening, if the pc/sydney is not pregnant. If the pc/sydney is pregnant, then depending on how close to childbirth they are, for either the pregnancy to be safe, or for the child to be born healthy and without any complications during childbirth.

    Sydney should then also be against the use condoms. (and will try to remove if put on)
    If you tell them that you want a condom to be used, they could say something along the lines of:
    No, the temple/Jordan doesn't want us to use them.
    No, the temple/Jordan expects us to do it raw.
    No, i don't want to disappoint the temple/Jordan.

    If you tell them that you don't want a condom to be used, they could say something along the lines of:
    The temple/Jordan doesn't want us to use them anyway.
    Yes, the temple/Jordan expects us to do it raw.
    Now i won't have to disappoint the temple/Jordan.

  67. Hi, Vrel. Merry Christmas. I hope you have a nice day :> I have some questions!
    I like Whitney, but I have some mixed feelings about their bullying.

    Q1. Does Briar and Darryl celebrate their birthday or anniversary(Like new year's day, christmas, halloween)? If they do, in what ways do they celebrate?
    Q2. When Briar, Bailey and etc were attending school, were Leightonwas teacher? I don't think they were school's head at the time. If so, what subjects were they taught?
    Q3. Has River heard the bad rumors about Bailey? The script from the kitchen setting up in the loft shows that they knows something about Bailey. What does River think of Bailey and orphanage?
    Q4. Does River remember all the students live in the orphanage? The scripts of math contests and wearing sunglasses certainly shows them remember that PCs don't have parents. Are there any teachers remember that information? I think Sirris doesn't remember that...
    Q5. What is Avery, Bailey and Briar's assessment in social circle? Do they have a good reputation in social circle?
    Q6. How would teachers react if the high-trauma(high as visibly disturbed or even more) PC suddenly hugged teachers hoping for a little comfort?
    Q7. I assume Briar has quite a few exes as well. How many exes do they have? Did they have any genuine love among them?
    Q8. How much money did Whitney promise to receive for selling the PC?
    Q9. I saw an answer that Whitney might become having an acting career or a neurosurgeon in the future. So their school violence has no effect on their future at all? They don't face the consequences by their act? I don't think their going to the uBrothel was facing the consequences of their bullying. How many victims have been bullied by them? I don't think they just bullying the PC...
    Q10. What would Whitney react if they saw their child being bullied in the exactly same way they bullied anothers in the back days? Like...their child was forced to get a tattoo, or had a pen forced into their body?

    1. Not Vrel, but I believe someone asked similar questions before. For Q8, they earn at least 500, and in Q10, they would intervene with the bullying.

  68. What animal would Lis use to describe PC?Or food, flowers, weather, etc. Although I'm curious about what they would use to describe PC, I know this question is a bit abstract!If it's difficult to answer, please skip it.
    Merry Christmas~ I really like this update, my little PC has a lot of practical and cute accessories (and the fact that the PC can hold milkshakes in its hands is really, really, really, really, really, really, really cute!

  70. Whitney and Alex Simper22 December 2023 at 14:04

    Hey Vrel! I’m so excited over this update. I expected it to be smaller, but seeing the handheld items and the new Whitney events made me so happy, I wonder how you guys did this at such a short timespan. You’ve got my thanks

    Alex recently has become one of my favorite LIs so I’ve got some questions about them. First time I’m not fawning over Whitney, even though they still live in my head rent free

    1.PC or booze. What will Alex choose? (Woah that rhymes)
    2. Since Alex has so many siblings, did they all live under one roof? And if so, did they end up having to share rooms?
    3. Are we gonna see more of Alex’s parents in the game? I haven’t seen them react to the PC and Alex’s children since I met their parent before the pregnancy and built the nursery before birth, but I’d love to see them react to/interact with heir grandchild(ren)
    4. I saw the new event with refusing to buy alcohol for Alex. If the PC justified this by saying it’s for the sake of their children, would Alex have still been as angry or would it have mellowed their anger? Both high dom and low dom Alex
    5. My PC has combat game as notorious and I love that she could threaten Remy’s thugs and have a guaranteed chance at making them flee. How would Alex react to such a sight if they don’t already? (Cause it’s honestly fucking hilarious to see big tough goons run away from a PC with the tiny height setting) If they don’t react to this in-game yet, would we get a small line of dialogue in the future?
    6. Now for the real question that I don’t know if you answered before. What’s Alex’s favorite barn animal?
    7. How would Alex react to a fox PC breaking into the chicken coop? (I had to ask this so bad)
    8. If Alex never worked on the farm and lived a normal life in town, what career would they pursue?

    Thanks again for answering! I was really happy to see your replies on the Whitney questions as it made me love them even more. Please be sure to take care of yourself (and other contributors if they’re reading this). Every update we receive is satisfactory enough in my eyes. Don’t listen to those who say otherwise! <3

  71. Finally tried the new temple content from a few patches ago and I’m really enjoying the new story content. I do have a few questions though:
    1) Grace seems to be increasing much more slowly now. Is that intentional? I also have the fallen angel transformation now, not sure if that affects grace.
    2) Am I safe from being possessed on a blood moon as long as I sleep in the temple quarters? Seems like a pretty big bonus if so. (For the record, I’ve stolen the necklace so the wraith is actively angry at me.)

  74. While filling out the post-partum player poll/survey thing, and thinking about Bailey's rent, I wondered about how deeply being freed from being forced to pay them was thought about, and i'd like to offer a thought I had.

    Being completely free from Bailey's payment would be a fantastic endgame to be able to work towards I think. Maybe there could be a huge sum debt they tell us about, like, 100 mil+ or whatever at the start of the game (which could be turned off, increased or decreased at the start of the game, or during with cheats), half of our weekly payments could go towards that, with an option to give direct payments towards that during the week? And when/if we pay it off completely, Bailey could kick us out, preventing us from using the orphanage as a safe sleeping space. The same for Robin if you end up taking on their debt too.

    Perhaps You could end up renting or buying a place on Domus or Danbue street for the two of you, or just yourself if you don't end up taking on their debt.

  75. Thank you for your hard work as always Vrel!
    I have some ideas to ask

    1) Will we get an option to break down to Kylar/Avery/any other LIs that haven't got that yet? Though knowing Avery it might not help LOL
    2) Since Kylar steals a lot, could there be a scene where PC runs into Kylar while stealing (at the shopping centre and such)? It'd be so funny. And will they answer if PC asks them about the stealing/ask PC about that?

  79. I love that you added parasols to the game. My fashion minded PC's are gonna look so cute. All the new clothes sound adorable too.

    I've got some questions about the animal transformations, if you don't mind.

    1) Does Eden take off the bell collar and replace it with the leashed collar? I want to make a cat PC to romance him, but there aren't any ways to maintain the transformation if he takes off the bell collar. At least with wolf PC, you can have sex with the wolves in the forest or eat wolfshrooms, but Cat PC's are out of luck.
    2) I know the LI's would like any of the animal transformations, but which would they like best?
    3) What animal transformations do you have planned or are on your maybe pile? Personally, I'd love to see a bunny transformation. Bonuses could be gaining submissiveness everyday, like a counterpart to the wolf transformation, a bonus to kicking damage, and a bonus to fertility and chance of multiples.
    4) I love that you get the compound horns with the combined demon/cow transformation. I'd love to see more synergies like that between the two transformation types. Maybe the chimera can hit people with it's tail, and the hellhound gets a more vicious bite, or maybe some claws? I'd love to see the kitsune as a divine synergy for the fox, too. Though, I'm not sure which of the current divine transformations it would be attached to. Maybe it could be a unique transformation you unlock? That one would take some thought.

  81. Will wren be made into a love interest later in the game?

    ReplyDelete
  82. Thank you for your patient reply. Love you! Love Robin too! I have some questions <3
    1. Why does Robin like sparrows? I'm curious what they think of sparrows...
    2. If Wren were asked "Is Robin your friend?", how would Wren answer?"
    3. Hey, I broke into Robin's bathroom while they were taking a shower, and they kicked me out, but I continued to do this until they finished taking a shower. Does this count as witnessing the entire process of their shower? I'm really curious what Robin would think of my behavior hahahahaha XP
    4. If Robin had to hug one of Wren, Whitney or Bailey, who would they choose?
    We assume the PCs have paid for Bailey's hug and then bribed Whitney with hot chocolate (Robin got to pick one anyway!).
    5. Did Robin pray in the temple?
    6. Does Robin know Jordan?
    7. I'm also curious about this question: I wanted to hug Robin after my first consensual encounter in bed and say, "You left this for me too. Thank you. I love you. You deserve the best. There's no such thing as undeserved." How would Robin react?
    8. Will Robin agree to sit on my back while I parade them through the school hallways?
    I begged them, once they got used to me saying "I'm Robin's dog." Because I want to draw this

    1. 9.One detail I noticed is that Robin can masturbate on the bed, but the PC needs to buy a bed.
      Robin's bed is red, and the best bed in the mall is also red.
      Does this mean Robin's bed is good?
      Did Robin's bed come from a relative of Robin's like the TV?

  83. 1 could the MC lock or get safe to keep their money safe or get a bank account in the future?
    2 related with Kylar sneaking into Mc's room. 2.1 Can the MC get mini cameras in the future to know who stole their underwear? 2.2IF The MC catches Kylar in his room can force they to pay for the missing underwear? Or forcing Kylar to return it.
    2.3 As the MC often is larger than Kylar could force Kylar if the MC is defiant. Try to overpower Kylar to retrieve their underwear and IF the MC overpowers Kylsr. Could force Kylar to give the MC their own under wear as punishment.
    In that case how would Kylar react.
    3. if love or lust is high enough can the MC tease Kylar once cornering they in your room?
    4 With conditions of part 3 Could the MC teasing Kylar offering they to give or sell the underwear the MC is wearing or tell them or... "I would give you the underwear I'm wearing... But, look today I'm not wearing any". If the MC is not wearing underwear.
    5 or A high promiscuity MC could tell Kylar that can only keep your underwear is it gives their in exchange.
    6 In those cases how could Kylar react?

  85. Hello Vrel and team! Happy holidays all! Loving the game as always and the double update was a very pleasant surprise.

    Just wondering if there are any plans to add strap on support to the wardrobe so they work more seamlessly with outfits? Or some way to put them on while carrying them? Attempting to put on an outfit that contains a strap on that you are not currently wearing yields the message that the strap on was not found in the wardrobe, despite them not actually being stored there. This makes them rather inconvenient to use as there are few locations where they can be equipped and no other way to put them on or take them off, and carrying them seems to serve no purpose unlike carrying other toys.

    The recent update adding a handheld slot makes me think something like this would be possible for strap ons and other similar devices/clothing and would be a massive QOL for those that use them.

  86. Hi Vrel! Thanks for those great updates! Me and my friends love those bags and all other handheld items!!!<3

    And here is some question! Most about Avery because I love him :P

    1. Do LIs have any habits before going to bed? Like listening to light music or ASMR, or the quilt must cover their whole foot, or sleep naked, or need to grab their security blanket, or hold a plush teddy bear or something else?

    2. Does Avery like swans?

    3. Does Avery have any swan-related items or anything with a swan pattern?

    4. Did Remy and Avery know each other when they were at school? How was their relationship during their time at school? And how about their relationship now?

    5. I saw that the previous QA pointed out that Eden do spoken to Avery. Did the two of them talk alone or was there someone else with them like…Bailey?

    6. Continuing the previous question, did Eden and Avery talk a lot? What time and place do they usually talk? Can you tell exactly what they said?

  87. First of all: Great game.

    That said, I have a strange red line across my breasts and don't know why or if it's a bug (appears when naked, might be since I used the milking machine after the latest update). It almost looks like a strapless bra. Appears when naked or in Characteristics screen.

    Another thing I noticed that I feel used to be different: I cannot see any nipple in the breast sprite during combat, is this normal?
