You can now toggle two "special offers" on and off when setting up shop in the marketplace. More of these options may be added in future updates, we'll see how they go over.

A lot of v0.3.0's new content is situated around the new "maid academy" location. You'll be required to complete some of the maid academy content as part of the story, but there's optional stuff to do here as well.
To graduate and become a maid, you'll need to complete (or lewd through) three courses and a final examination. These courses are represented by basic memory puzzles, and you can attempt to try them again until you pass them. If you decide to cheat instead, your skill as a ma...

I still need to work on a few bugs, but the basic system is finally working.
2020-09-20 08:10:12 +0000 UTC View PostSo I've mentioned that I wanted to add more things in the game to spend G on. My idea was that you could hire a party of people to basically go and collect ingredients for you on expeditions. Different types of people (witches, bandits, or travelers) would collect different types of things. I also though it'd be fun to have a little self-contained progression in this system, so the party members could level up and the player character's "leadership" or whatever would increase and you...

I was going to make the lactation effect a timed effect, like most potions with player status effects, but that seemed unfair since I also wanted it to be timed in the sense that you had to wait for it to build up like urination. Making it essentially doubly timed seemed like too much, so I made a totally new type of potion that can toggle effects on and off.
Because it's not timed anymore, that means you won't need to make as many, so I made it cost an ounce of gem dust.
2020-09-13 11:48:35 +0000 UTC View PostVersion 0.3.0 will include lactation content.
This will include a potion the player character can take and administer to women to induce lactation, breast milk as a new ingredient for potions, and the ability for the player character to feed off of women (though at significantly reduced efficacy). Lactation will probably work somewhat similarly to urination while the player is under the potion effect. There will also be a request related to lactation, which will u...
2020-09-11 02:41:12 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a small balance patch, but I've also included several all new lesbian CGs! The other changes are fairly minor, just some adjustments I wanted to make to clean up some rough edges.

First things first: welcome new patrons! Thank you for your support. If you haven't heard, I do twice monthly devlogs (which is what this is; I use that term loosely, apparently) and monthly game updates. The next update (v0.3.0) will probably come at the beginning of next month, but I'll be mentioning that and talking about it a lot over the next couple weeks. For now, I want to talk about the update we just had, the consequences...
2020-09-07 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI've been having Internet issues the last few days. Not the end of the world or anything, but it does mean my online presence may be spotty over the next week or two.
Right now I'm working on lesbian CGs and the next devlog, which will be a postmortem on the consequences update. CGs are very hit or miss for me. Sometimes I crank out two or three per week, sometimes I spend all week on one. We'll see what happens, but it's likely they'll make it into v0.3.0. I've been considering s...
2020-09-05 07:43:17 +0000 UTC View PostWith the release of v0.2.1, the consequences update and all its content is now available in the free edition. See the release notes, 2020-09-03 05:21:31 +0000 UTC View Post
This patch addresses some bugs and balance issues, and makes some editorial changes to some content. In addition, the executable game versions now automatically check for updates and alert players once a new version is available. The update is not automated, however; players will need to go and download the new version themselves.
Starting tomorrow, the consequences update will be available in the free edition of the game, meaning everyone will be able to play it! See the 2020-09-02 07:19:51 +0000 UTC View Post
In the future these will be for $10 patrons only, but since I only have one of those right now, this first poll will be open to all patrons. The poll will close on September 10th, as that's the latest I can wait before I need to get cracking on writing and coding the content.

Both of these things will make it into the game at some point, but this poll will help me focus my efforts on one o...
2020-09-01 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostLets put some numbers to this thing. These metrics will be mostly accurate to v0.2.0 when it releases, but I am still testing and making adjustments, so if the final metrics differ, that's why. Any differences should be negligible, however. In the parenthesis will be the change since v0.1.x.
It's one of them big, three posts in a day kind of days today.
The Point:
Starting now, patrons will need to make an upfront payment to join. This will only effect current patrons if they decide to change their level of support, you can read about the details here. Basically, make changes early in the month.

2020-08-29 15:33:51 +0000 UTC View PostI've added some goals to the project. I'm gonna break them down here in this post just to make sure we're all on the same page.
The first goal is $100, and after I pass that threshold, I'll start working on getting portraits for certain major NPC characters. For some of those characters who have sex scenes in the game, I'll also create some special CGs. After this goal is reached, the process o...
2020-08-29 09:04:00 +0000 UTC View PostJust want to clarify something. The patron edition of Succubus Stories is available for the web and Windows, just like the free edition. For right now, the Windows and web version have almost complete feature parity (the web version just has a few extra configs the executable version does not need). In the future, the executable versions of the games may get unique features, particularly mod support and custom art support, and when that happens, I do intend to look into supporting Ma...

You may have already seen it on Itch.io, but the game has new art. I don't have anything to share until release tomorrow, so here's some high quality versions of that art. It's better than the simple white-on-black icon I was using before, but I'm definitely not a graphic designer or artist, so it's not gonna drop your jaw or anything.
Hopefully this isn't too sexy for Patreon, but I think we should be fine.

Just running through the game a few more times to test things and make sure there aren't any super bad or obvious bugs and typos. Excited for you all to get a hold of it.

Welcome to the second devlog. Like the first one, this one will mostly be talking about the design of the currently released version of the game rather than upcoming changes. I have been working on the next version of the game. Feel free to keep up with my work over on the issue tracker.
So let's talk about the game's narrati...

Version 0.2.0 - Consequences will go live for patrons sometime on August 27th. Other users will have to wait until September 3rd at the earliest. This update features new story and side content, a new area (or so), several new activities, and dozens of new events and scenes. There are also new advancement and progression elements, including new perks, traits, abilities, and potion recipes.
This is, on the whole, probably the less exciting and more expected new stuff, but I figured I'd still show off some of it. New character advancement and progression options are blunt instruments, but they do add new things to work toward and chase.
Altogether I'm planning on having six new potions, three new perks, nine new traits (including two request reward traits), and two new actions for oral sex encounters.

In v0.2.0, the player character will get in trouble with the law. Performing certain actions increase her notoriety. When it gets high enough, guards will hassle her, and can even attempt to arrest her.
Being arrested isn't all bad though. You get some interesting scenes and events and you'll even need to get yourself arrested to make it into the dungeon as part of the story in the new update!
Other new consequences will also exist; NPCs will react more strongly to nudity, poor hy...

Toward the end of next week, maybe the weekend of the 22nd, I'll have an update preview that will go over some of the major content additions and changes coming in the next version. That post will also have the release date; the content will remain exclusive to patrons for at least one week after release. Right now, I expect the update to come either at the end of this month, or the very beginning of next month.

Since this is the first devlog, it's a good opportunity to talk in more general terms about the concepts and inspiration for Succubus Stories, and the design principles, software, and technology behind it. For the first couple of devlog entries I'm going to focus more on that stuff than anything else.

2020-08-10 14:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis version will be released within the hour. Just clean up and bug fixes for some unforeseen side effects of yesterday's patch.
2020-08-08 21:15:15 +0000 UTC View PostSuccubus Stories has launched and is now available to play. Check out the free edition on Itch.io. The current version is v0.1.4. It features one and a half to two hours worth of content according to play-testing. Here’s some additional metrics about the release version:
This version will go live in a few minutes. You can check which version you currently have in the sidebar menu, under the game's title. This is a patch that mostly adjusts in-game balance. In general, encounters should be shorter and more succinct. You may also now skip most encounters (click the skip button under the camera button on the right during an encounter, or press K on the keyboard).
