Ruin Me 0.56.0-p: Terrence Radcliffe
Added 2024-01-23 18:52:49 +0000 UTC
Hi, perverts! I hope your 2024 is going well so far. It's the second huge release in a row for Ruin Me! You can now choose to train Terrence instead of Theresa. This update involved touching basically every single game file in some way: updating pronouns, adding alternate versions of activities, and redrawing most of the art at least a little bit!
I try not to treat y'all as QA testers, but this is one release where I'd appreciate the help. I've played through most of the game as Terrence, but I surely missed some bits. Please let me know here or via DM or email if you notice any of the following:
- Terrence referred to as "Theresa," "Miss," "she," "her," a "woman," or a "girl." He will let you refer to him by feminine nicknames, but if it happens in narration, it's an oversight on my part.
- Terrence appearing in a dress unless you've asked him to do so.
- Terrence lacking an erection in a scene where he's naked and it seems like he should be aroused.
- Terrence described as having parts of anatomy he doesn't have (i.e. breasts or a vulva).
- Theresa being referred to or shown as masculine.
- Either version of Terry showing up naked when they should be clothed, or wearing the default dress/cardigan in private instead of an outfit you've chosen for them. In some circumstances, Terry will put on different clothes when venturing into public; this is expected.
- Either version of Terry having bits sticking through clothing (i.e. penis or breasts).
I'm super eager to hear your thoughts if you play through with Terrence! If you load an existing save, you will soon be prompted to pick whether you want to continue with Theresa or Terrence; moving forward, I don't plan to allow switching mid-game with a save made in version 0.56 or later.
Ruin Me 0.56.0-p adds:
- An option at the opening of the game to choose between Theresa and Terrence Radcliffe as your employer and student. This involved a revision of every piece of writing involving Terry Radcliffe in the game.
- Theresa (a woman) and Terrence (a man) are both cisgender, pansexual, and tend to prefer the submissive role in sex.
- Terrence and Theresa provide a nearly identical story, with the only big differences being anatomical. Minor aspects of their backstories differ slightly.
- Both versions of Terry are somewhat femme and can wear all existing outfits. Each gender has its own starting outfit; the other gender's outfit is available at the Tailor found when exploring outside of town.
- Many sex scenes have had the appropriate options made exclusive to Theresa, with new options added that are exclusive to Terrence (based on anatomy).
- While a Terrence playthrough can complete all of the existing story, certain options such as play and breakfast choices or certain branches in scenes are more limited for now.
- If you have an existing save, you will be given a one-time option to change Terry's sex/gender the next time you wake up. If you are currently training Theresa in penetrative sex, you may need to wait until that training is finished to receive the prompt. - A new starting outfit for Terrence, also available for Theresa via the Tailor, consisting of a cardigan and slacks. It will become more revealing as Terry's training proceeds.
- A new "Revealing Briefs and Tank Top" outfit which becomes available for Terrence during exhibitionism training in place of Theresa's slip. The other gender's lingerie is available from the Tailor outside of town once one of the two outfits is acquired.
- A major redraw for most of Terry's kneeling in profile pose.
- New art for Terry's kneeling POV pose, with their arms in a begging position, used during exhibitionism training.
- Revised art for most of Terry's outfits and poses, improving them and adapting them for both genders. The art is still not final.
- An overhaul of the outfit system to make it more reliable and easier to expand. As a side effect, all outfits in a current save will be marked as "new" in the chambers selection menu, even if you've already had Terry wear them.
- Revised art for the Tailor's dummy.
- The ability to preview outfits directly from the Tailor's menu or the outfit menu in Terry's chambers by hovering over each option. This also occurs when long-pressing on mobile, or when using the keyboard to navigate options.
- A hint in the bedroom mirror menu for players interested in changing their bodies, directing them toward the strange laboratory that becomes available when exploring the mansion in Act II.
- Improved logic for menus that indicate when subtopics are new, which should prevent them from getting marked if they have hidden items.
- A revision so that piercing Terry in the sterile parlor will not advance time, making it much less annoying to apply multiple piercings.
- A fix for an issue where save files made at Dawn show the previous day count.
- The ability to ask Terry to stop collecting filled condoms each evening.
- Many minor revisions and fixes.
