Today's update brings two new story scenes, a lot of new scene and conversation actions, and a small introduction of character drives. Changelog coming briefly.
Update: Uploaded version 0.2.3c, which fixes a minor bug that provokes hypnotic glance to heal lust instead of provoking lust damage during combat. Cannot be fixed for already existing savefiles.
2020-12-11 04:14:14 +0000 UTC View PostToday's update brings an overhaul of the battle scene AI, new moves for Claw, and a new Story Event. Fighting the other Candidates is actually getting scary.
Story Events
- Added new story event involving Claw. You may get a scene if you find a way to pounce on her. There are a few different ways that might turn out though.
Scene AI
- Created new algorythm to be used by the AI during combat scenes. This algorythm identifies specific scenarios (Is a character being pinned...
Today's update brings an overhaul of the battle scene AI, new moves for Claw, and a new Story Event. I won't blame you if you decide to lower the difficulty.
2020/12/11: Added version 0.2.2b with a couple of bug fixes. Check the version 0.2.3 changelog.
2020-11-20 04:26:50 +0000 UTC View PostVersion 0.2.1b has been replaced by yet another hotfix. Two missable passages in the latest story event had scripts that broke a few variables due to typos, which would crash the game if two specific characters talked during the following day, or during the new day calculations.
The hotfix button of v0.2.1c now resets those variables, so if you had any broken saves they can be repaired on the new version.
2020-11-08 03:33:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe version 0.2.1 has been replaced by 0.2.1b, which includes a hotfix solving game crashes when a conversation was taking place at the end of a map period. The piece of code that fixed a memory issue in 0.2.1 has been moved to the map period initialization, rather than the end, in order to solve this issue.
2020-11-07 14:34:02 +0000 UTC View PostVersion 0.2.1 is now available for the Passion Temple Preacher and higher tiers, and it will be available for the lower tier later this month. Today's update brings tutorship relationships, a new story event and a lot of QoL improvements suggested by the players.
A change that I reverted was adjusting the hit rate of pounce actions, but with the current battle AI it was a blatant nerf to NPCs, so that change will not be implemented until the combat AI gets reworked.

Today's version brings tutorship relationships, a new story event and much more.
Update: Uploaded v0.2.1b containing hotfix for game-breaking bug during conversations.
2020-11-06 20:17:58 +0000 UTC View PostAfter version 0.2.1, I will be writing new scenes and coding new moves for the non-player candidates. Nashillbyir won't get one of these new scenes because she will have received the most attention in story events as of 0.2.1, and I want the equipment system to be ready before I work on her moves. Which characters do you want me to work on first?
2020-11-02 14:47:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe first goal of the Patreon page has been reached! From now on, I will periodically publish the game's code source files on a GitHub repository, and provide support to modding. From time to time, I will prepare some documentation explaining the structure of the code.
You can find the repository here: https://github.com/DeepInteractivity/Unholy-Arts
2020-10-29 11:58:22 +0000 UTC View PostUnder rare circumstances, the game gets extremely laggy, and the save file's size grows a lot. While I keep investigating this issue, you can use this hotfix. On version 0.2c, you have a button at the bottom of the personal room's menu that fixes the effects of this issue in the game's memory.
2020-10-26 07:22:39 +0000 UTC View PostJust finished a hotfix, thanks to the help and infinite patience of Satsu and Data Expunged, who didn't mind being interrogated about their bug reports on Discord. A couple of these errors are rare, but game-breaking, so it's highly recommended that you use the hotfix.
If you load a savefile from version 0.2 (unfixed), you will find a button to apply a patch at the bottom of the personal room menu, please click it.
The free version of the hotfix will be uploaded to itch.io briefly...
2020-10-23 09:46:35 +0000 UTC View PostFirst hotfix for version 0.2, changelog coming briefly.
2020-10-23 09:40:07 +0000 UTC View PostIt's taken a while, but version 0.2 is finally ready! Here's the changelog:
Story Events
- What was previously a placeholder story event is now an actual story event. All Candidates are involved, at least to some degree. It has over 12 different potential outcomes, some of them may be disabled depending on your settings. Some options may be disabled if your relationship with Nashillbyir isn't good enough.
* Some outcomes of this event may change a specific character's behavior. A ...
It's taken a while, but it's finally here! This is the most stable Changelog coming briefly.
2020-10-21 08:49:46 +0000 UTC View PostTwo minor fixes related to sex scenes started through social interactions. The difficulty of getting these scenes started and their length should be back to normal.
2020-10-10 05:34:07 +0000 UTC View PostLots of work into getting the NPCs to gain some self-awareness! With this, all the new mechanics for version 0.2 should be ready. What's left is a new story event, tweaking the AI, some balancing, and some more QoL. Be careful from this version onwards or you might end up leashed!
There's also a new portrait, which you may find at the devlog at itch.io later.
Engine - Map & Battles
- Battle scenes in the map are now associated with an event, and will consume 20 minutes.
...
The AI now knows how to use all the new interactions! The other Candidates may be more tempted to attack you if they think you're weak, so consider resting more often. Remember that the new mechanics are only enabled after a placeholder event that you can reach faster by using the new bookmark from the Quickstart Menu.
This update introduced a lot of logical complexity, so I've spent a few days looking for pontetially dangerous situations and plugging holes. There may still be logical i...
2020-10-09 02:01:50 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone! I'm in the process of making some changes to the Patreon's tiers and rewards, which will be hopefully be approved by everyone. Let's take a look at them.
- Access to new updates
There are currently two problems with the access to new content: Patrons at the lower tier take a very long time until they get new updates, and when these arrive, the higher tier loses value, because at the moment of that release they're paying extra for the same content.
These changes wo...
I was recently notified that there were issues with the Cheat Menu, so have another round of bugfixes.
- The second bookmark in the Cheat Menu will now properly apply futanari transformations if "Enable all (futanari) content" is selected in the settings, which is the default option.
- The edit relations option in the Cheat Menu will now work properly.
On another note:
- Favor debt will now be properly applied if the character you were going to owe favor to stopped fol...
2020-09-28 22:53:50 +0000 UTC View PostQuick fix for a couple of issues, one of them particularly annoying.
The first one involved crashes of the game at certain instances when displaying character positions.
The second one sometimes provoked followers of any character to remain in conversation after the leading character accepted sex.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
2020-09-27 19:49:01 +0000 UTC View PostSeveral systems such as special relationships and diplomacy features are progressing nicely. You can now initiate servitude relationships and assault other characters, but the AI has yet to learn about these features.
General
- Following options are now disabled by default, and will be activated by a story event. Since the story event doesn't exist yet, a placeholder event has been added at the end of day 10 to reactivate these options. Use the new bookmark on the Quickstart Me...
Several systems such as special relationships and diplomacy features are progressing nicely. You can now initiate servitude relationships and assault other characters, but the AI has yet to learn about these features. Changelog incoming.
2020-09-26 05:09:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe groups system is almost as good as finished, and the option to follow other characters should be functional now. There are also two new story events, and a few new kinky actions.
Story Events
- Added Story Event involving all Candidates with no sex after day 8.
- Added Story Event involving some conversations and absolutely nothing else going on after day 9.
Social Interactions System
- Some social interactions are now personal instead of global. This means that a cha...
The groups system is as good as finished, and the work on relationship types will start soon. There are also two new story events. I'll be posting the changelog briefly.
On another note, please remember that posting patron builds in pirate sites harms my income, which needs to grow in order to sustain the development of the game. I want as much people as possible to enjoy Unholy Arts, and giving delayed access to the game to non-paying players looks like a good deal to me.

2020-09-18 00:22:26 +0000 UTC View PostThis is mostly a tech build, including some finishing touches for battle scenes and some advances in the map groups system, which will serve as a foundation for the relationship types system. Speaking of relationship types, servitude won the poll by a landslide, check the devlog post at itch.io later if you're interested.

2020-09-07 05:37:40 +0000 UTC View PostFinished some touches on the mechanics of Battle Scenes and started implementing map groups. Mostly a tech build. Changelog coming soon.
2020-09-07 05:23:44 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I'll start working on relationship types and following features. To put an example: imagine Padmiri and Maaterasu have started a relationship as companions, and one of them is leading the other around the map and choosing their actions and types of training - which may receive an effect boost due to their cooperation. In the meantime, Claw, who has forced a servitude relationship on Nashillbyir, has recruited her help to assault Padmiri and Maaterasu both. This could be a potential ...
2020-08-31 06:50:20 +0000 UTC View PostThe new version features two out of the five new story events planned for v0.2, as well as a few QoL improvements requested by many players. Among these, you can now choose an avatar for the Player Character! Check the new devlog posts on itch.io to see them, and remember that you have a link to more of Shirarin's art on the game's credits.
Next week I'll open a poll regarding how to prioritize relationship types for both Patreon tiers!
