My main goal for 1.14 is to revamp the sexy times. There are things about the way sexy stuff is currently coded that makes it harder to add new content, and it's time I tackled that and refactored some of it. In the meantime, I hope to add better writing, and some character specific content. A lot of the sex scene content is still a relic of the first release, when the development process was feverish and managing to do enough renders and making sure bit new bits of code worked was paramount,...

This one is short, because 1.13 is mostly new content and each entry covers a fair amount of stuff. Bugs were mostly handled in 1.12.1. :)
New Content:
Hilda is now a scripted character, with several unique events related to her, including one which involves an interaction with Amora. If you recruited a valkyrie in 1.12 or later, it should already be named Hilda and will have all the scripted options available.
Khoraja, the sorceress, is now a scripted chara...

This release features scenes related to Hilda, the Valkyrie, and Khoraja, the Sorceress. If you have another Valkyrie or Sorcress on your roster, you will have to dismiss them in order to gain access to these characters. If you recruited Hilda in 1.12, then you have the right Valkyrie to get access to the content.

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd give you an update.
First of all, thank you to all the patrons who contribute to this Patreon. Far more people play this game than contribute, but without you I'd probably have long ago assumed that no one liked the kind of games I create.
I've been working on adding events for the Valkyrie character, Hilda, and am hoping to get some scripted Sorceress content in as well. I'm realizing that the way I've did things in the last release, you're going to ...

Bug Fixes:
You should now be able to get the reward for doing the paladin quest once and only once -- if you’ve already gotten it before the fix, you should be able to get it once after the fix. *
Raphaelle’s next quest should become available after you get the reward in the fixed version. *

1.12 Changelog
New Content:
New game concept -- The Mission. These are little expeditions involving 1-3 characters and lasting a few days, allowing you to get some experience with characters even if you don’t have multiples of 4. Missions are highly abstracted -- you send them out, and they come back when they are done with experience, gold, crystals, or even affection (depending on the mission type.)
Amora the Enchantress is ...

Things are coming along with the next release of Damsels. The "mission" system I've been working on is in place, but needs some ease-of-use improvements before I release it; I don't anticipate any problems with getting that done, as I've done the hard part already. This will allow you to send groups of less than 4 girls on missions -- these aren't as helpful, experience and loot-wise, as sending a party of 4 out, but they make it less frustrating to have 7 girls and have 3 of them hanging aro...

Hi... I've been working away on Damsels and I wanted to report some progress.
You may recognize the image above from the last update -- but it's *not* that image. I've been working on more interesting lighting for my renders and if you compare this to the same scene from 1.11, I think you'll notice an improvement. Making better renders takes more time, but it's more interesting for you, and it's more interesting for me.
Damsels 1.12 will include a lot of new changes. First and for...

The Arcangel and Orc girl will now be available to go on adventures. They function significantly differently from other girls:

They can’t become your queen or slave or concubine
They are always available for sex if you have leftover attention
They can’t get pregnant -- ...

Happy to be able to release Damsels 1.11. New content includes the ability to use your monster girls in combat, and new sexy scenes involving the heretic and the enchantress that are unlocked by having the appropriate fetishes. I also put in change that makes it more likely the random recruit showing up will be from a class you don't currently have. This is not the change discussed in the poll -- just a step in that direction that I could make relatively easily.

I'm just bouncing this off y'all at this point... I haven't put any work into this except coming up with some ideas.
Basically, the game would have a similar theme to Damsels -- meet girls, convince them to join you, adventure with them or send them off on adventures. But I envision significant differences as well.
1. All the girls would be scripted. They'd have stats that you could improve, and they'd level up, but their dialog and art would be unique to them. Rather than getting...

Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my poll.
So, the poll is pretty lopsided, and it seems unlikely the last few days of polling will change that -- it's been pretty stable for a while. In a way is nice as it gives me a clear notion of how to proceed. If I screen the results for Patron-only, it tightens a little bit -- but not a lot. Damsels is still the clear preference.
First, I'll be focusing the majority of my efforts on Damsels. The game is popular, people l...

I've set this to public, but I'll be looking at where the responses come from and I'll weigh Patron responses more. If the difference between patron and non-patron responses is significant, I'll publish that when the poll ends. The poll is set to end at the start of some time off work I have coming up.

I didn't expect to have this to you yet, so I didn't make any promises. But here's the new edition of Damsels.
This release features changes in two areas. The way pregnancy works from the last version has been reworked to make it less punitive, and renders have been added to support that as well.
The other thing being re-worked is the brothel. The brothel no longer produces mana, but it can give a substantial income flow. The brothel now has a reputation that increases every time ...

I've got a few ideas for Damsels, so I'm going to be working on that a bit this next week. I just wanted to let people know it's not abandoned. I needed to take a break from it to regain my enthusiasm, and there was a while where Strange Gift needed major surgery so badly that I wanted to devote all my effort to getting it fixed. I think it's a playable, challenging game at this point -- one that needs more sexy scenes, etc., which it will certainly get.

This release adds Isabella, with some scenes of her own and some different functionality. I hope you enjoy it. I also added an "Easy Mode" -- if you select it at the beginning, the game will be somewhat easier (although still some challenge if you haven't played before) but several scenes will be unavailable.

The holidays and family obligations are disrupting my schedule a fair amount, but I am making progress. I've done a series of renders for two new scenes, one involving Olivia and one involving Freyja, and I hope to do more over the next couple of days. I'm probably not going to have a chance to thoroughly test until New Years' Day, so I'm expecting to releaese then.

It also contains a new action -- asking a girl to pole dance for you. Each model in the game has two unique renders to go with this action -- not just different girls put in the same pose. I'm pretty...

Strange Gift 0.9 is here! There's a number of new scripted scenes involving Mia and/or Chloe, as well as some other goodies. Also, the game should play a little faster, as submission gains have been increased, some costs of rules have been reduced, and there is slightly more available mana.
