Weekly dev blog: It's a bimbo? It's a masochist? No, it's Super Erica!*

*Assuming you kept the default name, at least. :^ So, this week I wrote a new scene for Kira, a new scene if you are a bimbo after purchasing the first bikini, to get an even sexier one, a scene for wearing the new bikini, and a scene for masochists at the VIP area of the QoH (you probably know which guy has the new scene, since he already has one scene with masochist content). He can also unlock the trait for you, if you repeat the first scene enough times. Other than this, I have been adding the new piercing, tattoos and clothes in the game (as well as use the pregnant bust for the pregnancies). I still need a few more things to consider, and possibly I'll have to tweak some things (the new piercing doesn't play nice with all the combinations, so I might have to order another version to go with the see-through toga, for example).

I also fixed a few bugs and I added the final touches to the hypnotist. The only thing pending for him is deciding if I want to remove or rebalance the option to raise your stats with him, but I'll wait for testers to give me some feedback on that (I should have a closed test this week).

For the next few days, I'll probably try to add something more to the new traits (so that they do have some meat to them), and then after that I might start working on the noble content and the main quest again. I kind of want some of the stuff in the noble content to develop over time, so having the main quest progress as well is a must.

For this month, I think we'll have a release around the 21st, to make up for the various breaks (work has been on and off compared to the usual, I won't lie). I might try to recover some time in the following months, once the holiday effect is finally over, and I manage to digest everything I ate so far. :p

Anyway, this should be it for now, do let me know if I am forgetting something, or if you have suggestions. Otherwise, see you next week! ^_^

  1. My TOTDC game files says it's unreadable but I downloaded the 2.4.14 version of RAGS needed to play it. Anyone know why it isn't working?

    1. Do you have multiple versions of RAGS installed? If so, windows might not automatically pick the one that works for the game.

      For other possible reasons, check this thread
      first:

  2. I am new to this game so forgive me for my ignorance, but how often do you release the public builds?

    1. Every month I update both versions, so the public build is only 1 month behind the patrons-only one. I a ma bit behind schedule because of the holidays, so a release around the 21st seems the most likely.

  3. That is good gives me something to look forward every month like with T.I.T.S with fenoxo. Also when I am updating the game for each new release do I need to delete the old save or can I just download over it.

    (P.S. it might not hurt for you to Make a small F&Q so you don't have to keep answering questions like mine)

    1. In theory, the old saves are compatible, so you can copy-past them to the new folder (I assume you could even overwrite the folder itself, but I am not 100% sure on how RPG Maker structures its files, so I am not going to suggest that).

      Having a FAQ would be nice, actually, it's just that I am never sure what would be good info to add to it. Any suggestions beyond these two questions?

    2. Forgot to mention: there is a changelog on my Patreon, and I announce there if a version isn't compatible with old saves. Also, some minor problems can still be there, if I tweaked old content (so something might be missable when using an old save, although it's rare).

      I would generally recommend to start fresh after several months, just to get a clean slate as small issues are bound to accumulate the older a savefile is.

  4. When it comes to an F&Q those first 2 questions when be on it of course. But here are some other that I fill would help greatly (though remember this is my personal opinion, others might disagree) question 3 could be the games completion status if you have an idea I would but it in percentage it with how much is done, if you have no idea just answer it will be done when it is done. question 4 could how to file a bug report. question 5 could be how large you plan to make the game. (be sure to include that the size of the game may raise or lower as time progresses). 6 would be you to contact author to summit any artwork or independently written pieces (similarly to what you did with the slave path)

    that is all I can think of at the moment, I may think of new suggestions in the future. (Also it might not be a bad idea to try and get your fans/players to make a wiki to help with walkthrough stuff)

  5. Also what is the fastest way to free the dragon? I am a sucker for bad ends.

    1. I have added your questions to my work in progress for the FAQ, thanks for the suggestions!

      I think the fastest way would be to work 3 times at the brothel in a row and then get back to the Dragon. You have a "slut reputation" in the game (currently not used in much of anything) that the dragon offers to reset if it goes beyond a certain threshold. That's the easiest way to burn the 3 wishes.

      Also, remember to not talk to him too much, or else he'll see you as a friend, and won't give you the bad end.
