ROOM 244: WELCOME TO THE TOWER OF TITTY WITCHES
This is the second of three zones the player needs to complete before entering the final castle.
For reasons...
At this point the player should be starting to suspect his SUCCUBUS COMPANION might have a few ulterior motives for sending him off to various locations.
This time it's a magic tower in the centre of Ur-Carnosa. This was originally an academy for magic before the lust daemons invaded and t...

It's time for the regular scheduled monthly update to House of Hellish Harlots.
August was a crazy month as I finally got the new version of HoHH with art up and running. However I still have about 60 harlots to transfer over and check nothing has broken with them. So, in the meantime, new harlots will still be added to the plain-text version of HoHH first until I've caught up.
v0.049 adds a new pair of harlots with a shared scenario:
Squidgii & Squis...

(Pt 1, covering the writing, is here.)
We're getting near the end of August, so I thought I'd drop part 2 of my mid-2023 roadmap for House of Hellish Harlots. The first concerned the writing left to do, which originally was all HoHH was going to be. Since then I've experimented with Twine enough to improve the display and add art. It now looks closer to a regular game. &nbs...

ROOM 243: 3RD FLOOR (SADISTRIX WARDEN)
After the triple-locked door is another short staircase leading up to a large room with padded black rubber walls and filled with a variety of BDSM gear. There are also plenty of TV screens (magic equivalents of) depicting prisoners falling prey to traps and dominatrix prison guards. The SADISTRIX WARDEN is waiting for the player here.

And it was the last week of frenzied code-hacking.
I think it needed to be as well. I've been extremely focused on getting the core of House of Hellish Harlots 1.5 done over the past month or so, and it was just starting to get to me last week. I spotted I was starting to fuss and fudge, and decided I had to put the demo out on Thursday. It didn't have everything I'd have liked (I really wanted a proper title screen), but I felt self-imposed deadline panic was...

ROOM 235: 3RD FLOOR (CAGE DOMME)
Standing in the middle of the corridor is a very unusual daemon. She is a very tall and slender dominatrix, wearing a massive bell-shaped dress of black latex. This is the second enemy type of this section – the CAGE DOMME

The 'cage' is her dress and her primary way of fighting is to try and knock the player down, hold him down with magic, and settle over him with her dress. Under the...

And hopefully the last week of frenzied code-hacking.
I converted another 13 harlots over, to give me a HoHH1.5 demo roster of 16 (3 per faction + Morticia Rose).
Each harlot takes about 2-5 hours to convert depending on how fiddly their original scenario was. The main issue is everything needs to be in the appropriate <div> tags for the text and options to be displayed in the right places, and the <div> tags can't be spread across different passages. Some ...

Time to take stock of where I'm at with House of Hellish Harlots. I figured I'd put a couple of roadmaps, one focusing on the writing side of things (which I'll be doing) and the other on plans for art and other assets (which I'll need to outsource and pay for).
First off with the writing and this is going to focus on the harlots.
Regular Harlots
Currently there are 74 harlots completed and present in the House, some with multiple scenarios.

ROOM 227: 2nd FLOOR (CELL 03 – RIPPED PIT TRAP)
The cell has another plinth at the back with an oversize key sitting on a cushion.
While there isn't a VINYL MAIDEN, or anything else suspicious, in the room, the player will probably suspect another trap.
And they will be right. On walking across the cell they will discover the floor is illusionary, dropping them into a rubber bag pit.
However, here is where things get a little interesting, as th...

This was another solid week of working on the new version of House of Hellish Harlots.
I hit a slight setback when I forgot one of Twine's quirks and made a change that doesn't work with how Twine handles objects.
If you're familiar with programming and objects, Twine has a quirk that catches people out, especially if they're trying to make something slightly more complex than a CYOA. If you have an array of NPCs and want to change a property of an individual NPC, you have t...

I'm a little late starting this zone as I've been very focused on the HoHH updates. I'll add extra rooms on some days until I'm caught back up again.
ROOM 219: GROUND FLOOR (CELL 04 – EMPTY)
This is just an empty cell.
The player can search it, and will find nothing.
If they're really suspicious, they can search it again. They will still find nothing, but the SADISTRIX WARDEN, tired of the player faffing around, will send a PRISO...

Then it was more coding and testing as I worked on the graphics update for HoHH.

No room number on this one as I realised it's repeating some general information from earlier.
I think I have a pretty good idea of how the zones could link up.
Zone 1 is the Intro Zone of the CRIPPLED SUCCUBUS brothel.
The game then opens up with Zones 2 to 5 (Warren, Waterfront, Nest, Park). They player needs to do all of them, but can do them in any order.
Then they need to go underground to get into Central Ur-Carnosa. This would be the Slime Sewers fol...

The QUEEN SLIME will be overjoyed the player has made it this far. She is a gourmet eater and only likes to absorb the essence of the highest quality adventurers.

The QUEEN SLIME is more focused on using her slime to arouse sensually rather than contain. While she will try to envelop the player and hold them on a soft cushion of her jelly, this is onl...

It's time for the regular monthly update to House of Hellish Harlots. This is another short release, adding just one new harlot, the bratty Brittnee.
I did consider adding the squidgy slime twins to this release, but I want to maintain a buffer of material for future months. Currently I'm putting a lot of hours in on the graphical overhaul, so expect regular demos of that and small single-harlot monthly releases to the main HoHH branch until I can switch over properly.

This was another week of coding and testing and adding graphics to House of Hellish Harlots.
The main focus was properly isolating a Harlots module and updating the 'Harlot Tester' I use for testing harlot scenarios. I had this set up previously, but using a test passage for each harlot where I would have to manually go into the code to change stats, gifts, charms, etc. This was fine when everything was in the same file, but now, when everything is in a separate module and &...

This is a fakeout boss room. The player can enter and attempt to fight the GIGANTIC SLIME, but only if they haven't been paying attention or use any sort of comm...

A lot of coding this week. I did a little bit of typing up and writing on the poison frog and forbidden smotherer harlot scenarios, but mostly focused upon updating the HoHH codebase to add graphics.
Work on this seems "hot" at the moment, so I'm going to keep focused on it while my productivity is high on it.
I've broken down the codebase into separate modules (for each NPC) and I'm going through them to add the markup to convert to the new display with graphics.

Behind the sacrificial altar is a small passage leading to a large cavern. There are lots of other remains and other detritus piled up in here. The cultists were chucking bodies here after they'd sacrificed them. There is plenty of other rubbish here filtered down from the city above.
Before the player enters, they will see a rope come down, and a figure in black descend. Watching them, the player will see them se...

I've been pleasantly surprised with how much you can actually do once you figure out how Twine works. This is still going to primarily be an interactive fiction game, but I'd like to give it a layout and enough art so that it at least resembles a regular game.
This does mean I'll have to start thinking about cross-device compatibility.

This one should be more responsive. i.e. It should still look okay at a variety of different screen widths and resolutions.
Unfortunately, this probably won't fix the main problem with mobile devices - images not loading because the .html file cannot find them even though the "images" folder is in the same directory. I'm still looking into this. I've only got an ancient android phone to test on, so would appreciate feedback/advice from people on other devices.

The way forward is blocked by a large collection of blue slime blobs. As the player approaches some of the slime forms into the shape of beautiful buxom woman and beckons the player closer.
This might cause a slight AROUSAL increase.
The player cannot fight these slime colonies. Trying to do so will result in the player being pulled in and sensually drained of all their HEALTH.
