Version 0.7.0 - Exposed is coming to the patron edition on March 18th, and to the free edition on March 25th. I know this one took some extra time, my apologies for that. Let's get into it!
New Story and Side Content
Chapter 2 is complete as of this update! I wound up cutting a secondary optional path here, it just didn't work well, so it turned out pretty linear. Still, I think it's a pretty good chunk of story, and I hope you enjoy it.

I should have the update preview out soon. I wanted to have it out today but I won't have time. I'll try to have it out this weekend. Regardless, I don't want to leave you all hanging for another few days on when the update is coming, so I wanted to at least announce the release date.
Version 0.7.0: Exposed will be releasing to patrons on March 18th, and coming to the free edition one week later, on the 25th.

As part of my continuing overhaul and expansion of the game's exhibitionism mechanics, shame is being added as a new player status to keep track of. It's designed to be relatively low maintenance compared to lust and hunger, so if it's not your cup of tea, it's easy enough to ignore. However, the improved feedback from the game for nudity and hygiene should make for a more compelling experience to players looking for that kind of content.
When the player character is nude or dirty (or b...

In v0.7, there are two new perks related to exhibitionism, and the old first perk in that line, the "nudist" perk is going to be right in the middle instead. If you already have the later perks unlocked, you will get to keep them, and the two new perks will be added to you after any event.
Now the exhibitionism progression is a little more even, and there is also now flashing content you can do before building up to full-on streaking. This is the breakdown:
First Perk: "Fl...

Hey y'all.
Just some quick updates here. I'm working on v0.7.0, it'll be arriving in mid-March, the ides of March, if you will. This update will hopefully close out chapter 2. I also intend to add group sex content to the bandit camp, plus some faction content. I also hope to add some interesting exhibitionist content, if time permits, but that may get pushed to v0.8.
We'll talk soon about my plans to change the development schedule. I'm thinking that I'm gonna move to...

I just have to do a bit more testing, but the update is pretty much complete! This one is mostly story (though a bit more balanced than v0.4). I did add a few new activities with short-ish events and several new events to across the game, and a couple other things here and there. I'm excited for you all to get to play it! See you Tuesday when the update drops (for patrons)!

The February update, v0.6.0, will be released to patrons on February 9. It will come to the free edition a week later, on February 16. This update will be titled Bandita.
This update primarily focuses on story content, and features a large portion, probably more than half, of Chapter 2. If you're a patron (or thinking of becoming one), please read the very bottom of this post for some updates that I want you to be aware of.

Due to some personal and family issues, as well as some other roadblocks, I haven't been able to actually write up the update preview for the February update. I plan to write it up over the weekend and release it early next week. The update itself is a little bit behind schedule, but I still expect it to come out in the first week or so of February. If push comes to shove I'll just release it and it'll be a bit on the small side, so don't worry too much about that. An exact release date will ...

That's amazing! Thank you all so much!
This money will be well spent, rest assured. I've already collected a team of writers to help me generate content, and I'm currently working with them to get them up to speed, including producing documentation and such. It's taken up a lot of my time since I've been back to work, so I'm not sure if any of their content will make it into the February update, but I want to try to at least get some of their stuff in if I can. Starting with the March u...

Congratulations on surviving 2020! It’s been a brutal year, but if you’re reading this, you made it. For me, like for a lot of people, I’m sure, 2020 has been a mixed bag. As tough as it has been, launching Succubus Stories has been a highlight for sure, and being able to get this game out and work on it has been a privilege. Thank you for your support!
I thought it would be a good exercise for me to look back on this year and analyze and critique my work so far. I though...

I’m back in the saddle now and working on the next update. I’m also poring over the samples and applications I’ve received from prospective content writers and compiling documentation and guides for said writers, so if you’ve reached out or sent an application, please know I’m working throu...

This is just a reminder. I will not be releasing a game update in January. I will also not be charging patrons again until February 1. If you're a patron before January 1, you will not have to pay a fee in January. If you join in January, a fee will be charged as normal, however.

This will be the first in a few end-of-the-year posts I plan to write between now and early January. Reminder that there will be no January update, monthly updates will resume in February. Patrons who join before January will not be billed for January. I have already waived the upcoming billing cycle. These posts are not being produced in place of game updates, they're just something I can do while I'm unable to work on the game.

Just a quick heads up, patreon keeps telling me I have unread messages, but every time I check, there's just nothing there. Not sure what that's about. If you are trying to get in touch or if you sent a message on patreon and I haven't replied, you can reach out on the discord server, or with this form.
Thanks.

The December update, v0.5.0, will be released to patrons on December 11. It will come to the free edition a week later, on December 18. This update will be titled Witches' Coven.
This update will focus on adding side content, events, activities, and requests instead of story content. In fact, no new story content is included in this update. Chapter 2 will kick off next year, in the first update of 2021.
Don't be too disappointed in the lack of story content, though. Th...

I haven't posted in a while. I took a few days off for the holiday and to deal with some personal and family responsibilities I've been putting off. I wanted to get the update preview out over the weekend, but I'll have it out in the next day or two instead. We're still on track to see the update soon. I'll announce the release date in the preview, but I'm thinking it should be about a week away, give or take a few days.

One of the new activities coming to v0.5 is potion bounties, which will task the player with delivering a semi-random set of potions for a much larger sum of G then you'd get selling them. This will also help you earn favor with a specific faction in the game, which will ultimately lead to new opportunities (lewd and otherwise).
Note the checkmarks: green if you have the relevant potion on hand, black if you are able to make it with the ingredients you have in your pouc...

Android support for the offline browser version of SS proved to be, uh, awful. I can't fix it without packaging the whole game as an Android APK. Which I can and will do eventually/periodically.
For now, though, users of Android devices (and other mobiles/tablets) will have to play the online web version. SS actually is designed as an offline-capable progressive web app, but Itch.io doesn't support PWAs, so for now that option is off the table.

As another QoL update, v0.5 will show "suggested activities" in the perk menu when you are close to unlocking a perk. Right now, you have to be pretty close, so it may need adjusted to be a little more lax, but I also don't want it to just be this massive list throughout the entirety of the early game either, so there is a balance to be struck.
QoL updates like this probably aren't the most thrilling thing in the world, so I'll have more interesting things to share soon! There is ...

The log/journal will now track most ongoing requests and give you hints about what you need to do next, so you'll no longer have to keep track of it yourself.
The "bounties" feature is also something I'm hoping to have done in v0.5, but I'll keep that close to my chest for now in case I have to push it back.
Version 0.5 should hit in early December, probably the first or second week. As always, I'll provide an official release date when I publish the the update preview, which shou...
