Update 2nd Jul '23

This week got a little derailed but in a weird and very good way.

I found out about another game project that's in my wheelhouse, wandered into their discord, and now might be doing some writing for them.  I'll post more details on that as things are finalised.  They already have writers, so it's more filling in some background lore, maybe a guest scene or two.  The project looks very promising for fans of sexy and deadly succubi.

The good side is it lets me have an...

House of Hellish Harlots v0.047 [Eve Satana]

It's time for the monthly update and for all the people waiting, yes, finally Eve Satana makes an appearance in the House.

We're also back to the regular plain text version.  The official releases will stay like this for the next few months.  I've been testing some graphics options in experimental releases, but it will be a while before I can start to add them to the main branch.

I'm a little nervous about this release as it did require some changes to the core to fit Ev...

#SexDungeon23: The Tombs (Room 176-182)

ROOM 182: LICH QUEEN

I've overrun by one day, but never mind.  Can't have the player leaving a region without a boss fight.

Once the player places the last plate in the correct position, a mechanism will click, indicating the main gate is now unlocked.

However, as soon as they've made it back to the main gate, they will find the LICH QUEEN waiting for them.  She's very unhappy about her treasure being stolen and is here to get it back.

FIGHTF...

Update 25th Jun '23

The first half of the week I carried on working on the new House of Hellish Harlots proof-of-concept display.  I wanted to see if I could add UI elements such as a 'health bar', a sprite map to visually show current round, and some rudimentary effects and animations such as an indicator for when the harlot gets the player to ejaculate.

I thought this would be straightforward, and it turned out to be a lot trickier because of how Twine itself interacts with the HTML.  I was fol...

Experimental HoHH Graphics Demo (0.02)

Here is the new HoHH graphics demo I've been playing around with.

The main addition is completely customising the player UI to remove the UI bar on the left of the screen and replace it with a small control panel.

The demo is just a proof-of-concept.  It only has a single scenario (Sapoonis) and snippets to represent each NPC and their location within the House.

I'm also guessing it will only work properly on laptop/desktop/tablet screens.  It will probably not dis...

#SexDungeon23: The Tombs (Room 169-175)

ROOM 175: GRAVEYARD (PATH TO EXIT GATE)

The player can walk down the path to the main exit gate without being accosted.  While walking they'll see the sexy spectral forms of various GHOST GIRLs drifting between the tombstones.  They leave the player alone for now as he walks down to the large main gate that is the only way in or out of the graveyard.

ROOM 174: GRAVEYARD (FIGHTFUCK GHOST)

Exiting the tomb will place the p...

Update 18th Jun '23

Quite pleased with how this week went.  Originally I was going to split it between more HoHH UI/Display tinkering and short story writing.  The HoHH tinkering went so well I decided to push that hard while it was going well.

Last time I was focusing on getting the basic display to look better than plain text on a background.

This time I was looking at replacing the basic UI sidebar with a custom UI.

This meant fiddling with Twine's StoryInterface passage.  Thi...

#SexDungeon23: The Tombs (Room 162-168)

ROOM 168: TOMB PALACE (SECRET ENTRANCE)

The VAMPIRESS NPC takes the player down a hidden path and unlocks a secret entrance.  Through a series of narrow vents, this leads the player into the heart of the tomb palace and they come out on a balcony above a large hall of impressive treasures.

The balcony leads to three rooms where the LICH QUEEN stores her favourite treasures.  There are more in the hall below, but they are mostly art pieces and sculptures ...

Update 11th Jun '23

Update is a little late today as I was travelling back home.

The reason for that was a little complicated.  I failed to pick up tickets for a music festival before it sold out, but neglected to tell my mate that before he got around to booking the hotel rooms.  A slight breakdown in communication later and I suddenly found myself with a 3-night stay elsewhere.

I thought I'd try that writer thing of going off to stay in a hotel somewhere just to write.  What I learne...

Experimental HoHH Graphics Demo (0.01)

As mentioned in the recent update post, I've spent the last few days banging my head against various HTML/CSS guides to see if I can make House of Hellish Harlots look better than the basic Twine Sugarcube look.

On Sunday I hacked this little demo together.

It is very much a hack.  I just took various passages from the NPCs to indicate the various NPC locations and added Sapoonis's scenario.  It's very limited and is just to get an idea of what a 'prettier' HoHH might lo...

#SexDungeon23: The Tombs (Room 155-161)

ROOM 161: TOMB STREET (PALADIN)

This is another tomb room with no-one outside it.  Ducking in will present the player an unusual sight and a meeting with one of the recurring NPCs (which they may have met before).

This is the NPC PALADIN, and they're exactly as named: a big broad man in holy armour.

The PALADIN has just slain one of the ZOMBIE WHOREs and is examining the body.  The player will hear him say it looks like her, but isn't her.  Th...

Update 4th Jun '23

I'm gradually getting free of this annoying lingering plague.

Last week I got the usual HoHH update out.  I hope people enjoyed playing with the new harlots.

I started typing up the Squishy Slime Girl pair.

Bratty Succubus has a name, Brittnee, and has been fully edited and is ready to be implemented.

The reason I haven't started implementing her is I remembered I'd forgotten to make Eve Satana an irresistible pick for characters with the Boob Fetish ailment. &nbs...

#SexDungeon23: The Tombs (Room 152-154)

ROOM 154: TOMB STREETS (ZOMBIE WHORE NPC)

Despite being underground, the tomb streets are busy and gaudy.  The player sees lots of men walking up and down a main thoroughfare while lots of ZOMBIE WHOREs try to tempt them.

One will approach and proposition the player.  If the player accepts, she will take him over to her 'tomb'.

The 'tombs' have been cleared out of remains.  An opulent bed is in place of them.  The room is brightly-lit wit...

House of Hellish Harlots v0.046 [N3P-NTHes and Aphroú]

The last day of the month means it's time for a House of Hellish Harlots update.

First up, you might be wondering what happened to v0.045.  Because I've been preparing these releases in advance, they were prepared and numbered as one harlot per release.  Even though I'm behind where I'd like to be on the short story writing (thanks to all the plagues currently running around), I decided to combine v0.045 into v0.046 and release the two pitcher plant girls together. 2023-05-31 11:30:14 +0000 UTC View Post

#SexDungeon23: The Park (Room 148-151)

ROOM 151: BOSS ALRAUNE

The sylvan theatre used to be an openair stage for the more artistically minded residents of the city to put on shows during the warm summer months.  It's now the central lair of the BOSS ALRAUNE that's taken over the park.

There are three ways of getting to her.

The regular one is solving her puzzle fetch quest.  The BOSS ALRAUNE will warmly welcome the player and tell them about how she's going to wrap them up in flowery bl...

Update 28th May '23

A very quick update as I'm about to head off on a trip for the day.

The week was a little fractured thanks to a nuisance cough lingering for far longer than I'd like.  As with most of the month, I kept things ticking over when I could.

Eve Satana is now implemented and fully tested.  I've prepared her release and she's ready to go for the end of June.

Bratty Succubus is now fully typed up (about 4K words or so).  I'll be implementing her next week.

Altho...

#SexDungeon23: The Park (Room 139-147)

ROOM 147: WOODS (SYLVAN THEATRE ENTRANCE)

Paths through the wood also bend towards the impressive Sylvan Theatre in the upper left corner of the park.  Originally there used to be an entrance here.  Multiple entrances even.  The outer wall of the structure has several archways.  Just like with the BOSS ALRAUNE's puzzle gate, they are firmly blocked with woody vines.

If the player follows the wall to the left, they will eventually come back out ...

Update 21st May '23

Currently I feel like I'm in one of those old Hammer horror films where some construction crew accidentally breaks a forbidden seal and subjects the nearest village to a curse of endless plagues.  In just over a month I've had gastric flu, regular flu, and now a persistent cough that feels like I'm trying to hack up a lung about 20 times a day.

Fun times.

(I think it's my body telling me I need to get out in the sun this summer to get my Vitamin D levels up.)

Anyway, e...

New(ish) Story: "A Bubble, Popped"

It's roughly the middle of the month, so time to put out another updated H-space Bestiary story.

A while back I wrote some super shorts that were just succubi and monster girls doing their thing to (un)lucky humans in an alien dimension.  I've been gradually going over those old shorts and beefing them up into 'proper' short stories.

This was originally the Bubble-Tail Succubus.  I expanded out the story to explain how 'Bate' ended up in her room.  One of the charac...

Harlot Art - Sapoonismenee Nerei

Here is some more lovely harlot art, again from the Atlantis27/Thraeh combo.  This time a player taking a hot bath with the lovely water nymph Sapoonismenee Nerei.  I'm guessing this player had DEX 5 and got plenty of Sapoonis's special foam in the body-to-body massage that followed. ;)

It's nice to see more details of the opulent luxury of some of the harlot's rooms.

I do have plans for a tentative team-up where Sapoonis and Aphroú double-team the player.  Then I...

#SexDungeon23: The Park (Room 129-138)

ROOM 138: SUCCUFAIRY AVIARY

The last feature in this section of the park is a large cage in the shape of a small outhouse.  This did used to be an aviary where one of Ur-Carnosa's wealthier and more eccentric nobles used to keep rare and exotic birds.  The SUCCUFAIRIES have turned it into a home and many can be seen flitting around inside.

The player has the choice to enter and while the number of SUCCUFAIRIES buzzing around inside might seem intimidatin...

Update 14th May '23

A scratchy week.  I was all over the place at the start of it and got my shit together in the second half.

I've made the code changes required in HoHH to handle the non-standard aspects of Eve Satana's scenario.  I need to test them to make sure the checks I'm doing work and don't slow the rest of the game down.  If that's fine, I'll get a release put together (probably earmarked for end of June).

The bratty succubus is now about half done in typing up.  Hoping...

#SexDungeon23: The Park (Room 122-128)

ROOM 128: POOL (GAZEBO)

Roughly in the centre of the pool is an elegant gazebo.  This used to be a place for visitors to take a seat and enjoy the tranquillity of the lake.  It's completely overgrown and choked with vines now.

It's also another of the BOSS ALRAUNE's traps.  As the player enters the structure, special flowers open up and pour aphrodisiac scents into the gazebo.  This will sharply raise the player's AROUSAL.  If it peaks, th...

Update 7th May '23

A frustrating week.  I came back from my break, got the usual admin stuff done at the start of the month, and then got knocked on my ass with another flu-type bug.

I wasn't able to get too much done this week, but did recover enough to get Mistress Eve Satana mostly implemented last night.  The regular parts of her scenario are done.  The outstanding bits involve tweaking some of the core code to allow for some non-standard pathways to the harlot's room.

Thankfully,...

#SexDungeon23: The Garden (Room Retgonned)

A quick note.  All the wet weather we've been having appears to have triggered plague season in my little village.  I'm down with some sort of flu/covid bug again.  I'm behind on rooms at the moment.  I'll catch up once I've shaken this.

ROOM 122: PARK ENTRANCE

Before the lust daemons descended and took the city, what is now called Ur-Carnosa had a splendid series of parks and gardens in the centre of the city.  These w...

#SexDungeon23: The Wall (Room 121)

ROOM 121: THE WALL

May is a 31-day month, so I'll devote that odd day to a 'one-room' feature.

Ur-Carnosa is a fortified city that has expanded in size multiple times in its history, each expansion adding a new outer wall.  The heart of Ur-Carnosa – and the player's goal – lies behind a high wall.  The only humans going through the gates are livestock or slaves to the higher ranking lust daemons inside.

The player will need to find a w...

House of Hellish Harlots v0.044 [N'gleria Sepiida]

No update this week.  I was mostly off the internet and taking a break to recharge the batteries.

It is, however, the last day of the month, which means it's time for a new House of Hellish Harlots release.  This is the v0.044 release which adds one new harlot.  She's been a long time coming, as you're finally going to play with the 'mindflayer girl' harlot I mentioned ages ago.

N'gleria Sepiida
She looks like an exotic alien babe with tentacles...

#SexDungeon23: The Nest (Room 113-120)

ROOM 120: THE NEST (BUG QUEEN)

The downward tunnel opens out into a large cavern festooned with lots of strands of white silk.  The GRUB QUEEN is waiting for the player.  She's not too unhappy about the player defeating all of her BUG DAUGHTERs.  In her eyes that means he's strong genetic stock and she's going to suck every last drop out of cum out of him to enable her to produce an army of strong daughters.

FIGHTFUCK: BUG QUEEN

She's on the f...

Update 23rd Apr '23

Last week ended up with more focus on the H-space Bestiary rewrites.  I put a new(ish) story out - "Men are from Mars, Mantraps are from Venus".  You can find this a couple of posts below or in the pinned post.

I typed up another one.  I'll leave that on the side for a month, so I can edit it with fresh eyes.  I also wrote the new sections for another one.  I currently have two updated ones to type up, although I'm not entirely happy with one of them and might j...

New(ish) Story: Men are from Mars, Mantraps are from Venus

One of my ongoing background projects is to take the old H-space bestiary shorts I wrote a few years back and beef them up into proper short stories.  Here's the latest.

This was originally the Venus Mantrap story.  I fleshed out the background to explain how the soldiers got there and also to try and build up the classic "Green Hell" jungle atmosphere.

As with the original, the ending is pretty icky, so watch out for that one.  I do like to push the horror a little...
