Hex - New Seasonal Events Plan

When v0.1.0 of Hex releases, you'll be able to toggle the seasonal events on and off in the settings. This will make all previously released seasonal live events available to play. I plan to add new live events from time to time, usually for holidays or seasons. These events will become available automatically every year at the appropriate time, and may get updates or expansions from time to time, too, with the new versions effectively replacing the old versions, but I'll make s...

Life in the big city

Ranbol Travel Guide: The Historic Public Baths of the City (Hex Preview)

Enjoy a relaxing soak in the public bathhouse, where people from all across the city meet and interact. The city’s historic bathhouse has been a social hub for generations.

Clean up and relax

Visit the bathhouse to wash up, relax, and socialize.

New potion: Toxic Concoction (SS v1.0.0)

The recipe for this new potion can be earned during the post-game otherworld exploration activity. It's a potion that allows you to instantly win in combat, effectively skipping the whole fight. They're relatively expensive to make (and to sell!), requiring 2 agates a piece, among other things, but by the time you unlock them, you'll probably be able to afford as many as you could possible ever need.

Anyway, what was I talking about?

Anyway, back on topic.

Okay, that one is somehow even less timely than Jar Jar Binks. I swear I'll stop now. Anyway.

Task board updates for v1.0.0

The task board for is now up to date for v1.0.0. Things labeled v1.0.0+ may come out after v1.0.0. You can think of these as being lower priority.

My goal is to turn v1.0.0 around pretty quickly. After v1.0.0 SS will probably not get another non-patch update for quite a while, since I'll be focusing on Hex for a while. Hex v0.1.0 is coming along pretty well, and I'll be previewing parts of it over the next few weeks. If the Hex update feels like it's taking too long, I'll bring...

I'm on Bluesky

I'm not the most active twitter user, but I don't plan to post there much anymore, if at all. I'm moving over to bluer pastures, so to speak. Also bsky has a functional embed, so once I get a decent backlog of... uh... bl... sk... skeets? Once I have a decent backlog of posts I'll embed that into my site instead of the itch devlogs I have there now.

I want to try to be a little more active with posting stuff outside of just promoting releases, so if that interests you, follow me ov...

the gayification of mythology

To be fair, when I first discovered that women could have penises, it made me either a lot more gay or a lot more straight, but I'm not 100% sure which. Definitely changed my life, though.

New Game +

Starting in v1.0.0, new game + will become available as soon as you finish the main storyline. You will be able to start the mode from your home; the option will appear right under the “reflect on your adventure” option. 

What carries over: 

• Your G, tiaras, unlocked outfits, and the butt plug.

• All of your ingredients and potions.

• Your alchemy rank and unlocked recipes, including recipes earned from requests and o...

Exploring the otherworld!

One of the main post-game modes in SS will be exploring the otherworld, where you'll be accosted by enemies, propositioned for sex by lunatics, and happen upon the occasional treasure for free. Each "expedition" into the otherworld requires an increasing amount of G, starting at the humble 10G, but it ramps up pretty fast.

You can earn large quantities of materials for alchemy by exploring the otherworld. Fighting tough enemies tends to grant the best rewards, but S-ranking a sexual enc...

The final advanced trait set

Patch is done, I'm currently testing stuff, so it'll be in your hands soon!

Sorry the patch is so late

I had to have a tooth pulled and wound up whacked out on drugs for awhile , but I'm pretty much good now. Sorry about that. I think I should be ready to release v0.15.3 soon, maybe Monday at the latest. I considered cancelling it in favor of just releasing v1.0.0 as soon as possible, but I think this is probably better.

SS v0.15.3 coming soon...

I wanted to release it before Christmas since it contains a Christmas outfit, but that obviously didn't wind up happening, sorry! :(

Version 0.15.3 will come out next week (or so) and include one or two new debtor's prison vignettes, the final set of story endings, and probably a few other small things. Version 1.0.0 will be next, following probably in February. This version will make SS "complete" in a manner of speaking, but not necessarily ...

Dryad vestments

Since the city will be somewhat annoying to traverse in your birthday suit ( I intend to make it more "realistic" than the village or than in SS), and since in Hex you can't get anything done without clothes on, you'll be able to purchase a trait after acquiring dryad magic that will let you summon and dismiss "dryad vestments" at will when you aren't wearing other clothes for a bit of MP! You can also put these on in the wardrobe like other clothes, and they won't cost MP in th...

Itch.io is down right now...

I'm monitoring the situation.

Apparently, shit-tier company BrandShield which uses "AI" to "protect" copyrighted content contacted Itch's registrar to take the entire website down because some game page mentioned funko pops or something, and no one at any point of this process thought, "hey isn't AI full of shit 90% of the time? Maybe we should investigate this before pulling the plug."

So somehow funko p...

Bath Towel Exposure Play - Coming in Hex v0.1

Note: The UI, text, and art above is non-final.

There's a public bathhouse in Ranbol, providing Iris an opportunity to have some exhibitionism-based mishaps! In addition to the normal features the bathhouse will provide, Iris can also go around in a towel and flaunt her bits in various ways inside the bathhouse!

With sufficient exhibitionism-related experience and her trusty towel in hand, Iris will also be able wear the towel around in public and engage i...

Tier, price, and benefit changes coming in 2025

As I've mentioned a few weeks ago, tiers are being adjusted in 2025. This will happen around the time Hex v0.1 releases, as we transition to Hex as our "main game." Access to Succubus Stories will not be changing; all patrons of all tiers will receive one-week early access to new major SS updates and access to the patron edition.

Here are the details for Hex. It's a lot of info, so sorry in advance.
