Finally made it, we're on version 0.3.0! Thanks a lot for your immense patience, I was getting tired myself about the story not moving forwards, so I don't even want to imagine how slow it must have been for someone who wanted progress but wasn't working on the game.
Anyway, today's update brings three new story scenes, one of them progressing the main story, and another one with a couple of sex scenes. There are also a lot of new sex scene actions, and a lot of other minor updates. Tak...

Today I bring you an early, shorter update with the base code required to implement the features coming in the following versions. This version starts at the Quickstarts passage, and has a few buttons for you to add extra characters to the main game loop: Artume, Warmest Hope, Sturdiest Rock, and randomly generated characters of a specified gender. Because the content added wouldn't be available on the free version, I'm not releasing a free version today, but the lower tier patrons will get a...

An earlier, shorter update that adds the features mentioned in the previous post. This version starts at the Quickstarts passage, allowing you to try them despite not being implemented in the actual game yet. More info on the changelog.

Hello, everyone! Version 0.3.0 is right around the corner, so I'd like to comment what's planned for the following versions. I've also just released a patch for version 0.2.11 - these usually just contain some bug fixes, but since this one also had some QoL improvements requested by the community I'll mention it in a public post as well.
Between version 0.3.0 and 0.4.0, I'll be adding the first adventure, dynamically chosen story events, and secondary protagonists.

Here I am, pretty much recovered and ready to return to delivering updates! Today's update brings a few improvements to sex scenes, including more accesible and mutable sex preferences, a complete rework of the sex scenes AI, a few scrolls explaining a few obscure mechanics in detail, and a lot of optimization, which should come handy for the players who were experiencing the heaviest lag. It also contains the portrait files for the first male secondary protagonist (which you can check on

So far it looks like the problems I mentioned earlier are regressing to a more manageable degree, and I'll be trying to resume work in the following days.
On a note more related to the game, something I was preparing before the pause was a rework of the NPCs' sex preferences: which characters prefer to banter, to do some foreplay, to be more sadistic and so on, and how this relates to the actual gameplay. This data was fairly obscure and shallow in previous versions and will be receivin...

First and foremost: I'm suspending Patreon payments for the next month and extending the subscription of current patrons. This means that patrons who have been charged or have paid during May will not be charged for June, and their subscription will be extended for 30 extra days. This is because events that escape my control are currently making me unable to focus or work for any extended periods of time, and I won't have the next release ready for May the 28th, as I was expecting.

Today's version brings a lot of new features, including an action to create positions for three characters, the opportunity to tag along when NPCs are about to leave the conversation to have sex without you, and much more.
The game files now also have the portrait for a new character coming after version 0.3.0. If you want to take a look but you aren't subscribed to this tier, take a look at the game's Discord channel, for I will be posting it there in a few minutes.

As you know, I'm currently in the process of adding a few finishing touches to the main game loop, mainly by adding features and changes that have been suggested and requested by the community, and I'll hopefully be finished with it in two updates at most. You can find a non-exhaustive list of these planned changes in the game's Discord channel, in the suggestions section.
Once that's finished, I'll dedicate some time to write some new story events, and then advance towards the first ad...

Today's update brings the repeatedly requested generic dialogues for NPCs in the main game loop: they will now use lines for sex scenes, when initiating assaults, challenges and conversations, and in a couple extra instances. Other changes are further development of virginities, mind-blowing orgasms, taunts, a couple of battle actions, a new unused portrait and several other changes.

Story Events
- Added Story Event after day 10 (playable by starting on the second Quickstart bookmark), featuring the new merchants. There are a few ways that involves each Candidate leaving the event with a bondage item locked on her. There are many checks, mainly for will, but also charisma, agility, luck, and domination, submission and sexual tension between different characters.

On January of the past year, I began redacting the first design guidelines and goals of Unholy Arts. A few months earlier, I had been shuffling different ideas for an adult game that focused on the simulation and development of Non Player Characters over long periods of time. The initial idea involved only two characters: the PC and a NPC that decided to spice their life as roommates by competing in different sexual games, where the victor would get to top the loser. Eventually, I decided to ...

I've collected a few design docs from the early stages of the game, for those of you who are curious. A fair amount of the features or the content mentioned received some modifications or twists over time. I've excluded a few documents that may include parts of the story that haven't been revealed yet.

You can find version 0.2.4c in the v0.2.4 post. Again, if you're loading a previous v0.2.4 savefile, follow the instructions in the post to fix it.
Fixes:
- Fixed critical bug that would provoke NPCs to fight themselves, crashing the game.
- Fixed non-critical bug that threw errors when NPCs made some offers to the player, after saving and loading the game at least once.
- Fixed small typo in a description from scene results.
