Virtual Succubus 0.38 Patch Notes

Hello!  

We have begun the gargantuan task of cleaning up the labyrinth of menus.

The new menus have an all new look and structure! This has been a very time-intensive process that will continue over the next few months. The entire structure of the menus has changed, so this may take some getting used to.

The goals with this rework were:

• Make it easier to change your toggled content quickly by making everything more dense.
• Re-frame the customization menus from a more immersive perspective.
• Improve the aesthetics of the menus to match other elements like the logo.

Included in this update are also some long-requested features like difficulty progression and the ability to only use parts of your toggles for each session.

We’ve also added VS’s equivalent to achievements, bonding! One of the first bonds includes participating in a valentine’s day session, which now gives a very large favor bonus when completed.

Current 0.38 Patch Notes:

Features

Menu Rework Part 1

The main changes with this update are:

• Customize has been entirely replaced by a new menu called Contract Terms. Modifying what your Succubus does in sessions is now framed as modifying your contract with her, and you will be expected to sign your new contract afterwards with a short animation upon exiting these menus. Contract terms contains 4 tabs: Toys, Kinks, Systems and Tweaks. In these tabs you’ll find various toggles, sliders, and submenus you can now easily access.
• The Visuals menu has been renamed Shapeshifting. Most of the Visuals menus have been unchanged for now, as the visual toggles will require a much much bigger rework than was possible within the scope of this update.
• Favor requests have been combined into a single menu, and Quickies are now a session type instead of a favor request.
• Various other menus like Options, Credits, Training etc have been updated.
• The glossary has been replaced with ? buttons that have been put all around the new menus to explain features and terms. While we understand that the glossary also included other information, from a design perspective we would rather have features that can be understood through their impact instead of through reading a glossary.

Min/Max Toys & Kinks use

In the new contract terms menu, you’ll find a new min/max slider for both Toys and Kinks alongside 2 checkboxes for each entry instead of one.  A frequently requested feature has been the ability to limit your sessions to only include a few toys, and this is now the way to do that, extended to also include kinks.

You may now mark these toggles as either Available or Use.  Use toggles will always be used in sessions, regardless of the sliders.

Available toggles will be selected as additional toggles for your sessions, randomly picked with a count between the min and max you set.  Devotion rewards from toggles have been updated to scale directly with your number of available/use toggles and your min/max sliders. You will now get rewarded for every addition to the list.

Difficulty Progression

Some of the most frequent feedback over the last few years has been that sometimes the Succubus will give you unreasonable tasks very quickly into a session. We’ve added a new system to handle this that progressively opens more tasks to be given as you complete tasks of the following categories: Anal, Oral, and Pain.

At certain thresholds, you’ll be able to either beg or taunt these difficulty progression increases. Begging is the way to ask her to give you more time, while Taunting makes her skip the entire progression and go all-out.

When difficulty is increased with the new difficulty progression system, a short theme will be applied for a few tasks. Meaning that as soon as your difficulty is increased, you'll be given appropriate tasks. Taunting will have a much greater effect, making you do tasks of that category for many tasks.

Bonding

Virtual Succubus’s answer to achievements.

Bonds with your succubus are intended to represent long term commitment and the experiences you’ve shared with her. Future bonds will follow this formula, primarily rewarding for milestones and experiences enjoyed with your succubus.

Bonds reward permanent devotion and can give various minor rewards like access to names and adjectives.

The current bonds are:

• Complete 30 sessions with the Favorite favor rank. (Unlocks the Favorite adjective)
• Participate in a Valentine’s Day session with your Succubus. (Unlocks the Valentine sub name and Lovely adjective)
• Complete 100/250/500/1000 sessions.

While the current list is limited, the infrastructure now exists to easily add more. We do want to keep it simple and immersive, focusing more on what should count as a milestone within this context.

Content

• Added "Praise" toggle to Kinks. This will cause her to praise you after a successful task.
• Added several SPH-related sub names.
• Added "No Hair Changes". With this toggle, hair should no longer change mid-session as a result of outfit changes.
• Added new potential theme (not themed session): Pain

Balance

• Breathplay layers on timed tasks are now affected by breathplay difficulty
• Added an extra large base bonus favor to sessions completed on Valentine's Day (300 base instead of 50 base, I recommend a long session!)
