Lust is Stranger 0.13

Hi folks!

Here's the release of version 0.13. This build adds the first path of a new quest that has important variations based on your previous choices, including a new trophy and 2 scenes included in the gallery. Now there's only one release left to reach the final day of the game.

There's also a new UI feature. A log of dialogue lines for the current scene can now be found when you bring up the pause menu.

Developer's Diary #111

Hi folks!

I decided to change a little bit of the plans for this release cycle. The quest I'm working on is the last one of Thursday, but there are still other shorter (but important) events and interactions to be worked on before the transition to Friday (including the resolution of the cleaning task). 

My initial idea was to release these final bits in a smaller separate update, but then I realized that a release without a new hot scene would be lame. So my plan now is to r...

Hi folks!

I'm already working on our next release. This new version will feature another quest were your past decisions will define how some of the action unfolds. And as the week is getting close to its climax, how you'll tackle this quest will have significant impact on the characters' fate. Here are the plans:

Lust is Stranger 0.12.4

Here's the release of version 0.12.4

This one adds a new forked path quest. It means the girl you'll meet and lots of content are based on your previous choices, specially who ends up as the picture contest winner. Both the quest progression and the scenes play different based on who you'll be helping.

All scenes were already added to the gallery, and the 3 new ones are unlocked by one of the 2 new trophies added in this version.

Notice that more dynamic content means more o...

Status update

Hi folks!

Just a quick status update here to say that all content planned for next version is done! Now I just need a little more time for testing and polishing, meaning the release is coming in about a couple of days.

This release cycle was a little longer, but the new version adds 3 new hot scenes with 3 different girls, including some new content tags ;)

See you soon,


Peace!

Updated archive for LiS-v0.11.1

Hi folks!

Stupid Windows Defender had some update that caused it to start freaking out about the 7z archive released for version 0.11.1

I updated the link for a zip file with the same content that it doesn't complaint about.

The zip format takes more space, but at least does not trigger any warning. The link was updated on the release post.

Lust is Stranger 0.11.1 [win64/osx]

Hi folks!

Here's the release of version 0.11.1 build.

This one adds an unexpected quest during the end of cliff scene, the missing romance path, and it's following scene. You won't find a new hot scene through the story if you didn't win the girl feelings, but the ones you might have missed are already available in the scene gallery (unlocked by any path taken in the cliff travel). There's also a few bug fixes and a new trophy.

Please, post any bugs found in the comments or ...

Hi folks!

Here's a quick roadmap update for the second part of version 0.11. I'm working on the romance path scene and the quest that follows the arrival of an unexpected visitor (the cliffhanger that takes place in an actual cliff!!). Your options in this quick quest will also be based on past decisions.

Lust is Stranger 0.11

Hi folks!

Here's the first part of version 0.11 release. This version adds the transition to Thursday when most scenes and events will be even more affected by your previous choices.

The scripts are pretty much double (or more) the size now due to these different consequences, so I decided to split the release again (it will probably be the usual strategy from now on). This build adds the beginning of the next janitor quest, and a new quest with Max including a new hot scene (...

Developer's Diary #106

Hi folks!

Here's a quick update of the roadmap progress.

Scenes are starting to get more complex as multiple combinations of past choices are taken in account, leading to SEVERAL different dialogue branches. It demands more work, but it's fun realize how all these combinations can provide a nice replay value.

Another example: next release cycle update will lead to a scene featuring a different girl based on the picture contest winner.

Here's the status:

Hi folks!

Work on next release is in progress. This time you'll be able to progress to Thursday, when your prior choices will continue to impact more and more on new events and scenes. 

For example, the picture contest winner will be decided based on the result of the Every Heroes quest and the path taken in the glory hole quest. You'll still be able to change the outcome using Rift energy, however, this resource will start to become more important in this next version (and i...

Hi folks!

Here's a initial release version 0.10. 

Please, notice this build does NOT include all the content planned in the roadmap. It's been a long time since latest release, so I opted to make a partial release. I wish I could be posting a larger amount of content, but these latest weeks didn't me allowed to work much in the project.

This version includes the last quest remaining for Wednesday, leading to one of the possible hot scenes. Remember to keep a save if you...

Hi folks.

Just a quick status update here. As I wrote on my prior post, I always have a spike of  IRL responsibilities at this time of the year. And 2022 season has been specially rough, giving me almost no time to work on the project (and sleep, eat, breathe, etc...).

I've been slowly making progress, but I gotta be honest. This release cycle will probably see some delay, even with a fairly straightforward content.

I'm pretty sure my usual schedule will normalize by mi...

The end of the year always means rough and busy weeks at day job and life in general for me. But I still managed to squeeze some hours to plan and get the work started for next release.

There won't be a poll this time, because there's only one last event to be added on Wednesday (Taylor/Courtney). Here's the roadmap.
