ALPHA v. 0.2.09


FC is two months old today. I remember when it was one passage: my perverted offspring sure has grown. It now outweighs The Two Towers.

The major addition with this update is the first set of upgrades that directly impact slaves. First, there is an expensive new building that unlocks upgrades to most preexisting drugs. Second, the surgery can be upgraded for advanced transformation, currently limited to the surgical creation of hermaphrodites. All these options require very high reputation. Yes, more upgrades are planned.

As noted by many playtesters yesterday, 0.2.08 (the "balls patch") was tough on herms. 0.2.09 should improve things.

Download: MegaPrevious saves are not compatible.
Tip jar: Patreon.

0.2.09 Patch Notes:
  • Arcology upgrades that unlock herm surgery and drug improvements.
  • New fetish, pregnancy. One of the rarer fetishes in that it's tough to directly cause it.
  • New quirk, anorexia. This will obviously make weight gain harder.
  • Rework of renaming; all but the most violently rebellious slaves can now be renamed, though many will dislike the PC for it.
  • Virginity loss warnings for many events.
  • Many bugfixes.

  1. Are you still accepting custom slave requests? I never noticed the custom slave post on the side until now.

    1. I am, but I'll be adding them in batches. It's much easier to sit down and stat out 10+ good submissions at once, and there's no possibility of submissions being lost here.

    2. Hmm, I'd like to know this too

  2. great update as usual. I was wondering if you could add recreational drugs and effects to go with them that we can give to rebellious slaves to encourage them to work harder, at a cost of a permanent health loss or something. at some point you'll be getting slaves that you don't know what to do with, and as we can't harvest their organs yet to get rid of them while making a profit, we might as well be able to work them to death.

  3. Shame your self-imposed tech limitations mean no way to artificially speed up growth... it'd be cool to fast-track your slaves' kids to 18 over a year or so and then enslave them too

    1. This game cannot be everything to everyone. That's how a lot of very good h-games died.

  4. It was my understanding that random gets rerolled every time it's called. I'll push a quick patch to fix the permagrowth.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I'm fairly sure that's not the case, and $random is just another variable, albeit one that's usually used in RNGs. I really really hope that's the case, because otherwise I got a lot of code to rewrite in the game I'm working on. I'll knock together a quick test to see for sure.

    Yep, it definitely doesn't reroll on call.

  7. Ha, we're talking about different things. random(1,100) rerolls, $random doesn't. I certainly don't mean to be using $random anywhere in FC (too confusing), so if it's there, it's a mistake. I use $seed for that function to keep it straight.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Huh, I've been using $random heavily and just assumed it was one of the many things I figured out how to do in Twine from your code, so I misread random(1, 100) as $random in the balls code.

  9. Will future hermaphrodites and shemales only be "made" from males only?

    1. Unless I end up adding full organ transplantation, yes. Modern dickbuilding surgery is highly imperfect.

  10. Just a quick question; how do assign slaves to be bodyguards? I'm honestly not sure where the option is in the menu.

    1. Build your prospective bodyguard an armory from the economics screen at the end of the week: then the option will be available from the main screen.

  12. Valentina is devoted to you and enjoys her small freedoms. With a rest from brutal use, her stretched out asshole recovers a little. She is a sexual master, so she teaches other sex slaves technique. She gives a professorly, hands-off lecture to a classroom full of girls at a school. Though she has a dick, she's impotent due to her gelding and can't use it as a teaching tool. She earns extra fees based on her skills: obedience, vanilla sex, oral, anal, whoring, and deportment. Her teaching fees come to ¤1043. With a rest from public use, her loose vagina recovers a little.
    Valentina's devotion is at the human maximum; no slave can be more completely devoted.

    it says I gelded her when I never even used that option, tho she tends to grow a pseudo phallus in previous versions due to her muscle building.

    and professorly should be professionally

  13. I just got this weird bug after ending the week.

    $activeSlave.slaveName is accustomed to sleep on a bedroll placed across the bottom of the door to your bedroom. In this way, no one could enter the room without going past your bodyguard, even as she lies resting. As you watch, the breath in her feminine $activeSlave.race form slowly raises and lowers the sheet over her.

    Let her up in bed with you
    Commend and reward her the next morning

  14. The 'RE whore recruit' event can't happen, since it requires the head girl to be whoring or serving the public, and being the head girl is a full-time job now.

    The 'RE Bondage Gear' event never happens because the code checks if the clothes are 'slave gear' - from the text of the event, I think that's supposed to be 'uncomfortable straps'.

    There's an extra space in 'SA long term effects' in the long-term aphrodisiac use on shemales that causes a chunk of code to be displayed in the end-of-week report. It's right before the elseif in the line about testicular shrinkage.

    Since it's now easier to rename slaves, have you considered having a list of male names to apply to slaves from the 'male debtor', 'tg addict' and 'rapist malefactor' events, so the player can strip away their new slave's former identity themselves?

    The encyclopedia entry for 'The Pharmaceutical Fabricator' has "Last year's most popular slave drugs include:" at the top.

    Strange that slaves don't get unhappy about being underfed to lose weight, no matter how rebellious.

    Fucking a rebellious herm's pussy: "Despite her unwillingness to be sodomized, the prostate stimulation gives her an erection anyway. She's mortified that she would get an erection while being anally raped."

    The text under 'purchase data on aphrodisiac withdrawal treatment' says "Should improve the effectiveness of curative treatment."

    Businesswomen malefactors are universally sterile, is this intended?

  15. I had a nympho hit a buttslut nickname event. Is that intended?

    I know you've said in the past that nympho is supposed to be "every fetish +". Do nymphos have their own nickname events, or do they have a chance of hitting one for all other fetishes?

    1. Slaves who have implants are triggering the "give me all the implants" event even if they've already been given all possible implants. First time this happened, I thought the implants weren't maxed and manually checked in the surgery room to make sure they were. Then the same slave hit the same event again.

    2. Exhibitionist slaves have a "Nudist" nickname available to them, but don't get a devotion bonus from being naked (wearing nothing).

      Delete
    3. Had a "cheating tenant caught trying to sneak off" event, chose to flog her publicly and then enslave, which resulted in the slave being unhealthy and odd. When the same slave hit a "buy my daughter" event many weeks later, the daughter spawned with the same issues.

      I guess the game takes a snapshot of a slave for future family events as the slave is acquired, not as the slave was when spawned? Or maybe this particular event doesn't actually spawn a slave until the [enslave/flog and enslave/flog and let go] choice is made?

      Delete
    4. Nymphos are eligible for all nicknames, and need their own nicknames, too. Good point on nudists. Yes, the game takes a snapshot, it should reroll the quirks though.

  16. Where did you get Hannah from?

  17. Hold on to your butts, it's time for another code dive.

    The code for 'RE night visit' stops mutes from receiving it, even though the event has code for mutes. The other ifs for it are strange too - virgin shemales can get it, but shemale non-virgins with still-tight butts can't. Virgin bio-females can't, neither can slaves with gaping butts. And shemale buttsluts and bio-females wearing chastity belts can't get this event even though it'd make perfect sense for them to request the gentle buttloving this event would give them.

    IMO buttsluts shouldn't be able to get 'RE unhappy virgin'. And the 'if' that rules out chastity belts is odd, because the only practical way for this event to occur is if a slave is an anal-only fucktoy for an extended period, but the text of the event makes more sense for whores or slaves on public use. The other possibility - that the girl used to whore and wear a chastity belt but now is no longer doing either - makes less sense with that text. Perhaps add a line that references the chastity belt if the girl is wearing it and make the event compatible with chastity belts again?

    'RE extreme aphrodisiacs' can occur for shemales but refers to "engorged pussylips".

    The public use option in 'RE vocal disobedience' doesn't increase fuckcount.

    'RE millenary' can't happen for vaginal virgins in chastity belts even though that'd be a great event for chastity belt buttsluts. I recommend changing:
    if ($slaves[$i].vagina isnot 0)
    to:
    if ($slaves[$i].vagina isnot 0) and ($slaves[$i].clothes isnot "chastity belt")

    'RE obedient shemale' can't happen for mutes, even though there's code in it to make it make sense for mutes.

    'RE slave dick on slave' disallows it for slaves wearing chastity belts, do herm chastity belts cage the dong? 'RE slave clit on slave' can happen for slaves wearing chastity belts, do they contain pseudophallus clits? Both of those events also have no obedience requirement, but the text of them doesn't really make sense for rebellious slaves.

    1. 'RE slave dick huge' can happen for slaves on sapphic rules, who aren't allowed to masturbate, but the text of it says 'It's not against the rules for her to masturbate'.

      'RE muscles' and 'RE heels' have no obedience requirements, but the text of them doesn't really make sense for rebellious slaves.

      The shemale slave boners in 'RE devoted amp' happen even if a slave is on hormones or lacks balls.

      'RE devoted waist' doesn't take vaginal virginity and can fire for vaginal virgins (though not anal virgins).

      The first option of 'RE obedient girlish' for bio-females is ambiguous but strongly implies vaginal sex with 'she's wet and ready', but doesn't take vaginal virginity and can fire for vaginal virgins.

      The second option of 'RE obedient bitchy' and the entirety of 'RE huge naturals' don't make sense for amputees.

      The first option of 'RE hugely pregnant' doesn't take virginity.

      'RE heavy piercing' doesn't take virginities.

      Both options of 'RE solitary desperation' don't make sense for amputees.

      The text of the second option of 'RE buttslut interest' ignores chastity belts, though the virginity check doesn't. It also doesn't make sense for amputee shemales.

  18. Bug. Slaves that are "tall for a woman" on the purchase screen are being described as simply being "tall" when owned.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Just two different descriptors for a tall girl.

      Delete
    2. Wait, really? I always assumed they described two different heights... like "tall for a woman" was exactly what it said, and just "tall" was taller than that - like, tall for a person in general.

      Glad to find out they're the same, that should cut down a bit on time when I'm searching for slaves with a very specific build

  19. The surgery upgrade costs 75000 even though it's labelled at 50000. Found it when i went too far in debt after buying it

  20. just a quick question, did you disable any events in this release?

    i ask because over 800 turns i got an event every turn and not once did i get the sissy-sister event, just wasnt sure if it was disabled or if really bad RNG

    1. That event will not trigger unless you have a devoted HG (who is the one who brings the event to your attention). Its likelihood of triggering with a devoted HG goes up the more rep you have.

  21. Don't know about anon, but I just got offered a similar slave from the "door to door self-saleswoman" event:

    "Yelizaveta's pussy is bare and available. She is a virgin. Her pussy is fresh, with pink pussylips. She is unskilled at vaginal sex. She has a small pair of balls. With her ass bare..."

    I think the door-to-door slaves are drawn from the same pool as the slave school ones, so this issue might be coming from there. This particular slave's bio mentions she's sterile, so I'm guessing this is another case of the game not zeroing out balls as dev mentioned elsewhere.

  22. Exactly, and thanks: event fixed.
