State of the Game: Getting in Shape

Added 2023-06-01 22:32:58 +0000 UTC

Evening all, it's monthly update time! v0.9.0 is now up for the public at the usual page, and v0.10.0 is now ready for Patrons!

This latest update was entirely focused around customization. Primarily, shapeshifting can now be done in two different ways (if your character has the Shapeshifting trait). For the first, when engaging in dynamic sex scenes, you will now have the option of adding or removing certain body parts at will. In the future parts of this will also be doable using unlockable sex toys, but not to the same extent. Secondly, you can now completely overhaul your character's visual appearance from the Captain's Office on your ship. This is still limited to using playable races only, partially for the work required of adding additional races to the character generator, and partially because walking around as a non-playable race could potentially cause story issues. Speaking of potential story issues, note that the game will be referring to your shapeshifted appearance and anatomy in virtually all cases. If someone notices a case where the game should probably only be referring to the player's true anatomy and it isn't, let me know so I can fix it up.

I also plan for parts of this to be generally unlockable in the future (as well as modifying fertility) using medical upgrades, but I'm not putting a timetable on that anytime soon. Aside from that, I also had time to add in a bit more additional minor functionality: you can now change your name and registered gender at the Personnel Office at Watch Station.

Also of note, the species poll has concluded! Our winners are the Schen for the returning races, and the Space Goblins for the newbies (who I'm tentatively naming the Happee, of the Happee Corporation). I don't expect to start work on them for at least a few months, but getting their portraits and outfits made are now at the top of the art queue. As for what I will be working on, I'll be returning again this month to progressing the Harian and Seeder plotlines, with an eye for getting to the point of actually recruiting your first specialists.

And I have one final thing to announce tonight - as I have some extra free time this week, I've set a little side project for myself to see if I can get a working bonus minigame playable in a short amount of time. That's gone well so far, with me pretty much just needing to set up an itch page to host it on at this point, so you can expect an extra free goodie tomorrow!

Til then, the download link will follow, and the patch notes are below. Thanks for your support!

v0.10.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

Shapeshifting player characters will now have the option of temporarily adding or removing genitalia and tails during dynamic sex scenes. Players will not be able to climax if both sets of genitalia are removed.
Shapeshifting player characters can now change their visual appearance from the Captain's Office. Apparent species, breast size, genitalia and visual details can be modified. If a male character chooses a Roth Mistress presentation or a female character chooses a Roth Drone presentation, their gender will be changed to non-binary.
Players can now change their name at the Personnel department at Watch Station.
Players can now change their official gender at the Personnel department at Watch Station. To register as female, neither your true nor shapeshifted species may be Roth Drone, likewise for male and Roth Mistresses.
