Degrees of Lewdity version 0.5.5.8

This is a longer post than usual, as I'd like to talk a bit about the future of the project. I'll talk about the update first.

This update adds Avery's mansion, a home location on Danube Street. It also includes Avery scenes for the office building, optional challenge modifiers for the Hopeless Cycle painting, rain and snow effects for the sidebar, and improvements for stalking encounters.

The mansion is unlocked when Avery beats Bailey during the card game in their flat, and the PC has suitably impressed Avery. High love will do it, among other things. Avery also takes on the PC's debt, freeing them from Bailey. As long as the PC fulfils Avery's demands anyway, which increase as Avery feels more dominant. PCs with a high housekeeping skill will have an easier time.

The mansion itself is a home location, like Eden's cabin, or Alex's cottage. The content there is meant to be quite a slow burn, developing alongside the PC's other antics in town. I wanted it to feel appropriate for a variety of PCs: those who genuinely like Avery, those who just want a more comfortable life, and those with more ambitious intentions. It's a more story-heavy update than most. I won't say too much. Let me know what you think!

Edit: Updated to 0.5.5.6, fixing bugs.
Edit 2: Updated to 0.5.5.7, bringing small additions and fixing bugs.
Edit 3: Updated to 0.5.5.8, fixing more bugs.


If you just want the game, that's all!

------------------------------------

My SubscribeStar page has been soft banned, if that's the term. It's still there in a sense, but people can no longer support me, payments are no longer being accepted, and I cannot post the update there. I haven't been informed why. I've contacted support, but have yet to receive a response. I've set up alternatives on Fanbox and Boosty, which you can find here:

Due to the timing, I suspect this is connected with the recent troubles regarding internet privacy and freedom, in the UK in particular, with governments restricting access to adult content. It's part of an international trend to control the sort of content people can access, and create. I've heard a lot about activist groups spearheading this, about Mastercard and Visa pressuring governments. This is pertinent, but kinda skips over why they have such power to begin with.

At its heart, DoL has always been about the struggles of a vulnerable person in a society that doesn't care what happens to them. This was inspired by the worsening state of the UK I witnessed growing up. I mention this because I believe these problems, as well as the loss of privacy and freedom, are connected. They're symptoms of the same thing.

Ordinary people are losing control of the resources they need to live. Those who own a lot of assets, including homes and basic infrastructure, are able to charge others for their use. They spend this money on more assets, which makes yet more money, and so on. Money is a competitive resource, so this drives up the price of assets beyond the reach of more and more people.

In the past, richer countries prevented this through progressive taxation. Since changes to tax structures in the 80s, there have been dramatic changes in wealth distribution. That's what I witnessed growing up, though I had no way of knowing at the time. A rich country transforming into a poor country.

All the wealth in the UK, the USA, and other countries, is being increasingly sucked out, into the hands of a tiny group. The more they have, the more they take. Not through malice, or ingenuity. They can't help it, it's how things are structured. The situation will continue to deteriorate until we reverse the redistribution, and ordinary people have control of the resources they need to live again. If we don't, we'll lose our privacy, and own nothing.

I only speak for myself here. I don't know what the future will bring. I'll keep making DoL if I can. It's very special to me. Regardless of what happens, it's an indescribable joy to have made something people enjoy, and to have received so much help and support from so many people. It's not something I've ever taken for granted. Thank you all so much!

-------------------------------------

On a more positive note, I'd like to give another shout-out to my co-developer PurityGuy's SubscribeStar, which you can find here: https://subscribestar.adult/purityguy
He's been working hard (too hard really) on the game for years, and deserves all the support.

I'd also like to share a video review of DoL that I enjoyed. The creator emailed me and asked a little about the game while they worked on it, and included my quote in the video. It's in Russian, but there are English subtitles. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkHJ_u9_y1E

I'd also like to ask something of commenters! I'm very happy people have been asking questions in comments and elsewhere, as I enjoy answering them. However, I've realised that my responses to the long lists of questions people ask tend to be bad. Especially those asking about multiple love interests. I'd like to try something. Could people limit their questions to one or two per comment, and keep love interest-focused questions similarly focused on one love interest at a time? Also wait for me to respond before asking another! Perhaps this will help me do those questions justice.

This might be DoL's largest ever update in terms of raw content. If all goes well, the following updates will be much faster than this one. Thank you for playing, and I hope you enjoy!

      The main things to come to mind that you might have missed are the paintings you can deliver to the museum, and associated content. There's one out in the farmlands, usually found by skulduggerous characters. There's also a cooking system, and housekeeping class at school, which are easier to find.

  23. I used to request this in the past. I was hoping that it would be implemented long the way, based on the comment I got from you. Time has passed, it hasn't happened. So I humbly request these two things again:

    1) A permanent lust increase effect when wearing a chastity belt while having enough awareness. Maybe increase it as the awareness increases. This in order to make it more "realistic" and also to provide a slight penalty to the player by wearing one.

    2) An option to start the game with the Innocent trait (full negative awareness). It's really difficult to get this trait, and for roleplay reasons, I would like to start the game with this trait.

  27. Hi Vrel, I love the new update! Especially Dr. Harper's new contents!
    Here are some questions I have about Dr. Harper!

    1. What would the PC and Harper do if they started a family?
    2. If Harper finds out in Asylum that the PC is pregnant and the father is him, how would he treat the PC in Asylum? Would he treat the PC the same as usual?
    3. It's been mentioned before that Harper could abuse child. Would he treat the PC kindly or badly?
    4. How would Harper react if the PC called him with terms like "dear"?
    5. If Harper and the PC are "together" in some special way, would Harper care for the pregnant PC?

    ReplyDelete

    1. I'm glad you like it!
      1. That depends on the PC. Harper wouldn't want to slow down their work, but they'd be able to get help looking after the kids if the PC didn't want to do it either.
      2. They'd treat the PC the same as usual.
      3. Manipulatively.
      4. They'd reciprocate.
      5. Aye.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm very glad to see this update! I especially like the plot of avery's death and the new social bar!
    I know some players might be dissatisfied with avery's new plot and feel that li has been neglected. But seriously, I'm glad that there's one less person bullying pc and other orphans.
    I can't bear to see other orphans suffering in front of PC,nor can I tolerate PC being traded as tools or assets. What has always touched me the most about this game is the creation of a protagonist who is strong、brave、compassionate, and dares to love and hate.

    After witnessing the sacrifice of "fox", pc would naturally want to punish avery. After all, someone was beaten up and sacrificed. But avery didn't look sad at all. I think as long as one has a conscience, they would want these villains to pay the price.

    Avery’s cause of death were his arrogance, ignorance, indifference and violence. If he had not ignored the advice and insisted on building the skyscraper , he would not have fallen. If he did not abuse, humiliate or threaten pc, then pc has no chance or reason to harm him either. Avery’s ending was his own fault and also a consolation to all the poor young people who were sold and toyed with by the rich.

    In conclusion, I had a great time watching this part of the plot! I'm really looking forward to the execution of eden and Bailey! As long as the number of people bullying pc can decrease and pc can live a freer and happier life, I will be sincerely glad. There is no day when I do not look forward to pc defeating evil and leading the orphans out of the town.

    1. Besides, the update of the social bar is the news I like more than avery 's death. The NPCS' respect, interest and affection to pc, rather than just love, make them seem more familiar!Pleased with pc‘s success/willing to listen/greatful pc is in her life/think pc will go far…… I really like these! Of course, my favorite is zephyr's tag: sheltered / enjoy adventures with pc/wants pc to see the world,especially "see the world".When I first saw this, I was almost moved to tears, because in my opinion, For someone like pc with great potential, the most beautiful love words are "I hope you are free." As a resident of a small town, it's really great to have such thoughts.

      Moreover, I also found that the relationship between pc and zephyr was not static. At the beginning, pc was weak and had not been tested, so it was behind zephyr. Then, pc and zephyr stood side by side, being a pair of pirates. Eventually, pc stood even further ahead, having its own life and going further than anyone else.

      Although zephyr hasn't had a new plot for a long time, I'm still very grateful that you created this character. He makes me feel that pc is not so lonely anymore. Thank you!

Sorry for the UK problems y'all been experiencing and glad you're morale is still up. Thank you again DOL team for continuing updating the game and I hope to see the next future update.(can't wait to see what PurityGuy keeps teasing about)

    I usually have some questions but I think I'm quite satisfied with most of the game right now. I think all I'm waiting for is maybe a school update or sprite update. (combat sprite and outerwear sprites i.e. coats, jackets, and etc)

    1. Will there be a new love interest? I'm not saying we should get one RIGHT NOW or in the next update, I think what we have now is good. I just was wondering if we can have a competitive/athletic school love interest so I can have a them compete with Whitney.
    (I know Kylar does in a way fights more for you're love but sometimes I don't want Kylar to cry because I choose Whitney)

    2. What's the next update going to be about? PurityGuy keeps teasing us on discord about this new update. So what's it about? :3

  51. Hello Vrel! I'm a kind of new fan of DOL who recently joined around June. I gotta say, the themes DOL shocked me at first, but as I stayed around and progressed through the game and let myself witness the community, I loved it! Not only can I safely explore personal albeit strange kinks through the game, I fell in love with the characters, their stories, and the world-building as well! Its funny I came because of a talented artist's art of Whitney, but I fell in love with Sydney, though I still can't wait for both of the characters development! I'm currently trying to get all the endings in the snake painting and enjoying every bit of it! And I'm excited to explore more Avery content. I wish you and the rest of the contributors a great year, please take care of yourselves!

    If you don't mind answering some questions:
    1. I saw from past qna's that Whitney is a great parent, but if ever a time came that PC and Whitney's kid became an adult, and PC suddenly divorced them, claiming that they only stayed with Whitney because of the kid, how would they react? Would they be angry? Or since they matured a bit after years of being a parent, would they react differently?

    2. (TW: MISCARRIAGE, if this is uncomfortable, please disregard this, im sorry!)I'm unsure if Whitney is a supportive partner before or after the baby is born, but if a pregnant PC miscarried and PC is devastated, how would Whitney react? If they're already supportive throughout pregnancy, would they change back to their delinquent ways?

    Even if you don't answer, I'm gratetful you and the rest of the team fed us once more! Thank you so much, we love you! Please stay safe, I hope the recent UK laws don't cause serious trouble for you all...

  56. Hi Vrel.This update is very good.There are some questions that have been puzzling me for a long time, and I'm eager to get some answers.

    1.Could there be a scene where Whitney's home location is depicted, and where one can live and interact with him?
    2.Does Robin have any tendencies towards the White Knight Syndrome? I noticed that when PC chooses to give in, his confidence increases.
    3.If PC made a magnificent and flamboyant headpiece for Robin, would Robin be willing to wear it when going out? Would he feel happy?
    4.When the PC supports Robin's cross-dressing preference and dresses him up beautifully, how would Robin feel?

  63. Cool to see the update! :3

    It's been a few years since I last brought it up - and back then the answer was still that you'd implement it - so please forgive me for asking again about the "rainbow" colour option, meaning a colour option for clothes that makes it so the item changes into 1 of the available colours whenever you equip it, cause that would, at least for quite a few players (those who buy the same item in multiple colours) solve the hard wardrobe limit issue. I wouldn't ask for this, but since there literally is no way to increase wardrobe size and the reason for that are actual issues with memory, causing performance decreases, I feel like this is more than just a convenient tool/sorta-cheat but instead one of the few ways around the memory problems that hopefully shouldn't cause major trouble and work for you, cause the functionality itself already sorta exists with picking "random" as a colour while at the stores.

    Best wishes & I truly hope the insane censorship nonsense is gonna be brought down sooner or later, I hate what's going on with that, especially in the UK. Dark times, people have grown far too complacent and are far too willing to accept that their freedom is taken away by willful and malicious extremists.

    2. Right, Right, only asking cause I just defended Alex's farm from Remy successfully and it said that the attackers burnt down every plot of crop land, even though they didn't, I did use to be a part of the discord server but I left after a few years, just wasn't using/active in it anymore.

      But yeah, had a bug where Remy's thugs burnt every plot of farm crops, despite it being defended and not losing a single one, if you could pass that on to the bug report channel I'm sure they'd like to get a start on bug fixes.

  71. Alright, first things I've noticed in the first hour so far:

    1- Avery's Mansion is a perfect way for me to get my missing money achievements, though it can be a hassle in other ways.
    2- Ah, fox TF my dear, finally a way to get you a lot easier with a lot less RNG or crime!
    3- Some sprites caught me off-guard, but they fit. I like 'em.
    4- Kinda wish this would add some kind of noble outfit to the forest shop.
    5- Why am I being molested even more now? No clue, but I like the new scene.

    Overall, it's pretty nice. Good job; keep it up!

  73. Thanks for the update! First time I comment, heh.

    Random thought/idea I had while reading the post (for some reason)... rite of promise with the Pale Figure/Ivory Wraith? Or a twisted version of the rite. An angel PC would no longer fall after an encounter with IW, but in consequence purity loses (from the wraith or in general) would double.

    I don't usually request additions to the game, but I enjoy playing with the chest menu and one aspect I feel could be added is materials for building. Stuff such as wood and leaves for upgrading the nest in the Great Hawk's tower, or building materials for the tribal island.

  76. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but in my game Avery comes home frustrated everyday even though I'm following all the rules. At first I thought he was just frustrated from work, but I visited the Orphanage and Bailey said Avery was refusing to pay up because I upset him? So I turned on cheats and sure enough he was at 13% Rage and it went up to 16% when he came home that night at 21:00. The rules he's set for me:
    Avery wants you to greet him after work wearing an outfit with the formal trait. (I was wearing court heels and ballgown)
    Avery wants you to keep your hair no longer than the top of your chest. (Hair is shoulder length)
    Avery wants you to curtsy to him after work. (Seem to do this automatically)
    Avery wants you to keep his mansion clean. (The mansion was spotless)
    So is this an actual bug or am I missing something?

  78. Thank you so much for the update! I've just started playing it, and I was able to unlock Avery's manor with my old save immediately, so that was nice! I'm really excited to discover the new story, especially as I've wanted to find out more about Avery for a while now.

    I am a bit saddened to see that the old angel wings haven't come back as an option (please please please Vrelnir, I'm begging you), and I've noticed that Avery is able to "[take] a bite of turnip soup", which sounds off to me? Since I'm not a native english speaker, maybe I'm wrong, but just in case, I'm signaling it.

    I hope for you the SubscribeStar thing will be resolved quickly. I'm worried about this whole... mess. It doesn't affect just the UK, it's everywhere. I fear it's going to get worse but hopefully it won't.

    Been playing this since, uh, god it's been awhile, 2019? While I was subbed on patreon for a few months ways back, well that obviously ended and I never got around to setting up subscribe star payments. Thankfully, I already use fanbox frequently so I'll throw some support your way. Hopefully matters improve... eventually.

  81. Reading the reason why this game exist was pretty enlightening. Knowing this I can see it in some of the story beats within the game. Never would I have thought that what at first glance just looks like a simple smut game would hide a deeper meaning(?). I don't really know how to put this but alas, ESL.
    I really do see that it indeed means a lot to the dev seeing how much work has been and is being put into this little project. It's respectable.

    Anyway, I already liked this game before but this gave me a bit more of an appreciation for both the game and the dev.

  83. Hello Vrelnir!
    I'd like to preface this comment by saying that I'm a huge fan of the game, and to apologise for this comments' length ahead of time.

    I've been following you for a couple years now and always interpreted DoL as a passion project of yours, though this extended post highlighted to me that it might be a bit more than that for you- I'd like to express a level of happiness in finding that out. This game also means a lot to me, so even though you don't know me, and likely never will, it's comforting knowing that the producer and the consumer share views.

    Regardless, the actual reason I'm writing today (despite usually not doing so) is because of your extended message after the update. You highlight some really important problems that we're currently facing. Under the guise of a "secure future" for everyone, we are seeing people be stripped of their right to privacy. Were I to to be hyperbolic, I would say that we are moving in a direction where soon enough, we might find ourselves at a point where even thoughts might be under supervision. We're currently seeing a grim and dystopian transformation in modern security from powerful people who are deluded enough to believe it will protect us. Your concern is very warranted, and I hope that for your own sake, as well as for the sake of everyone who values their virtual independence and privacy, that we come out of it without too many of the casualties in security that are speculated to come.

  84. I might wait until i am sure hidden bugs get ironed out further before i download, but i am excited for the new update.
    So glad we got more Avery things, alongside a few welcome non-Avery things.

    Didnt expect a political post, but i can see the worry. Lot of things getting worse in a few places. The UK situation with adult content got me mad
    ... but call me nuts, but i think the future in a hundred or two hundred years might be like what people seen in those sci-fi movies with dystopian government-ruled hell... i only hope awesome robots come with it due to the recent technology advancements, or imma truly be bummed out, since we got the AI upcoming, soni figure 'Why not?!'. (I say that as someone who found Blade Runner 1982 both extremely confusing and amazingly poetic at once.)

    Okay, for more sane and relevant things in our present... i must ask:
    1. Will there be a way for Avery to figure out that we pay for Robin, and face consequences for it while Avery pays for us?
    2. Will we ever get interrupted by... non-romanced Eden or Black Wolf while in the lake, or spring with Mason? (sorry if that broke post rule about love interests, but been curious about that one.)
    3. Can we get some simple starter recipes? Just simple things, like eggs, grilled cheese, salad, fruit juice... No way a PC couldnt not know how to make them.
    4. Will more abilities be added to fallen angels? Just extra incentive to keep it, but with an extra burden for overuse of abilities beyond their unique version of taunt.

    Anyway, a thank you to everyone who worked on this update. So glad Degrees of Lewdity is going strong, and i hope it continues as such.
    Had a clue it might have been a bit made to simulate almost entirely uncaring society, but i am thankful it is a game. We have a very good community among fellow players, abd the world's still not entirely rotten irl. (Though after playing here, i do like the idea of lewd tentacles invading reality now!)
    Wishing everybody here good lives, and may the urge to be gamers continue strong.
    Also, happy upcoming holidays to you all. They are just right around the corner, after all. ;D

  85. I’m fine with one or two questions per comment, I’m surprised you were able to handle so many comments with so many questions each in the first place. But the LI thing is a bit unfortunate to me. Even if the answers aren’t particularly detailed, I like the contrast in personality and actions shown with some of the answers, and some questions don’t really feel worth asking for just one of them (or slowly one-at-a-time). I know some of them were a bit esoteric or granular at times, but I think there are some worthwhile ideas mixed in there.

    On a MUCH more important note, sorry to hear about your SubscribeStar, I wasn’t expecting this post to get so political considering how often you seem to (I would argue wisely) avoid going out of your way to bring up divisive topics in the community (unless a comment brings it up first), but this is a very needed and justified exception, so thank you. (Got some DoL development lore out of it as well.)

    Did not realize until looking at these comments you had a backup plan via PurityGuy if the UK loses it even further, that’s comforting to know, although I certainly hope it never comes to that. (Not just because of DoL, although that too, but also because ideally I would hope the UK does not sink that far.)

    Sorry for the long comment, I hope you have a wonderful day!

  87. To everyone working on the game, thank you very much. While a lot of the content in Degrees of Lewdity is not my cup of tea, seeing a serious porn game project, much less one taking advantage of the Choose Your Own Adventure format.

    As for the situation you are describing, we've seen something similar in USSR in the 80s. Although then it was aimed at channeling resources out of the country to help some select few members of the government live it up abroad. Where do these people expect to run, I have no idea. Maybe the rich schooling have been too succesful at depriving them of empathy and they are not thinking even about their own children...

  88. Hi Vrelnir! Love the game!

    Regarding money/donations/funding, have you looked into using Monero? It is like Bitcoin but much less traceable, although I've never used crypto myself.

    Suggestions for the game:
    If we have angel wings, can we glide down from the top of the office building? It has 15 floors, and so far we can only do it from the shopping centre (which has like, 2 floors), and the harpy tower.

    I was deeply concern about UK, Visa and Mastercard problem but I'm hearing that Google might be implementing a new developer verification policy that could restrict third-party apps. How does this affect you and your works like DoL?

    ReplyDelete
  92. I’m curious about what you said about the political inspirations of DoL as we know it now. (“At its heart, DoL has always been about the struggles of a vulnerable person in a society that doesn't care what happens to them. This was inspired by the worsening state of the UK I witnessed growing up.”)

    Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but I find it surprising that the bedroom combat prototype made “as a way to explore what I could do in Twine with virtually no coding experience” would become your outlet for these themes.

    If you don’t mind me asking, what inspired you to combine those real world experiences with that initially-simple idea for a sex game?

    Also, When did it happen? Was before you first showed 0.1.0, or is there a particular era/range of update versions that served as a turning point? Or is it just too gradual to say?

  94. > Not through malice, or ingenuity. They can't help it, it's how things are structured.

    Considering the infamous "You'll own nothing and be happy", I think there absolutely _is_ at least a little malice involved, though not necessarily on everyone's behalf. There are at least some people that want to exacerbate the situation and use it to remove property rights & freedoms, though, sadly.

    I hope things take an upwards turn for you soon!

    ----

    That said, a couple questions:

    1) With how often she breaches containment, shatters time and space, and invalidates all concepts of sanity and reality... is Robin secretly a humanoid SCP? ;3
    2) Any plans for fun fetish outfits, like a latex maid outfit, purchaseable straitjacket, or "unchastity belt" (chastity belt with toys inside), and/or a way to incorporate casual kink fun (e.g., "forced" to dust while bound, with a duster mounted on an armbinder, or agreeing to a consensual non-consent scene)? It seems like something that would fit as world corruption slowly increases.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Hey Vrel and all, great work as always. Just to be brief, the fallen angel changes weren't implemented.
    "- Renamed the "forgiven celestial halo" and "forgiven cherub wings" to "blue celestial halo" and "feathered cherub wings" for internal and narrative consistency.
    - Selecting "feathered" fallen angel wings with the harpy/fallen angel chimera will restore burnt harpy wings to their fully-feathered state."

    The names are still the same as the last update and there is no feathered option with the harpy/fallen angel chimera. You'll still have the original burnt wing look.

  98. Hi loving the update so far but I do have a question. Can we get the Super Market to sell more ingredients for making dishes? Currently Avery wants me to make something that requires jam, but I need strawberries to make jam. As far as I'm aware the only way for me to get strawberries would be to restore Alex's Farm to the point of upgrades, then get the woodlands upgrade, and then hope I get strawberries while forging. Which I don't think Avery is going to want to wait that long for his dessert. There has to be an easier way to get some strawberries right?

    Thanks for all the updates. I hope DoL continues on, it has become one of my favorite games.
