Raw scripts for new harlots - Soffocaria Gattagrandi, Chén, Oscuria Suffocati

As I mentioned yesterday, the new release for House of Hellish Harlots was going to be delayed a couple of days.  I didn't want to end the month without releasing something, so here are the raw scripts for the new harlots that will be appearing soon.  They are:

Soffocaria Gattagrandi
She likes smothering men with her pussy.

Chén
A foul-mouthed little dancing glass mannequin sex doll.

Suffocatrix Osculia Suffocati
She smothers men with her kiss.

Firs...

Slight delay to HoHH v0.022 release

After saying last post how good it was to get a rhythm back in creating harlot scenarios and how important it was to keep it, I did the dumb thing and let deadline pressure panic me out of that rhythm.  A lot of the times the arbitrary monthly deadlines are good to keep to keep things moving.  Sometimes they backfire, and this is one of those times.

Being behind and coming up to the end of the month, I have some options.

The first was to drop everything on the other harl...

Update 25th Jul '21

After a couple of stuttering weeks, I finally found some rhythm again.

NPC Barman Skip Option
Has been added.  This is similar to the summary option for The Madam's tour.  I'm thinking of going further and adding faster restart options.  I like the intros, but the nature of the game means players should only really need to click through them once, or if they want a reminder.

Pussy Smotherer Harlot
Is written and typed up.

Glass Mannequin Doll Harlot
I...

Update 18th Jul '21

Another bitty week.  I'm struggling to get that harlot production line running at full speed.  I remember having this problem last year, where I got frustrated with not being able to hammer out the scenarios as fast as I'd like, and trying to push it too hard.  The best approach is not to panic and just keep chipping away.

(Pussy Smotherer Succubus)
Both the 1st draft and typing up are nearly done here.  She should be quite a fun scenario.  She's a little dif...

Update 12th Jul '21

Slightly late update.  There was a football match thingy on last night and most of the country is now savagely hungover.

Last week was a little bitty with a few too many IRL interruptions.  I kept chipping away through the smotherbus scenarios when I could.

Here are some hints of what's to come:

- Ygolia Campbell.  A succubus that loves to roleplay as a femme fatale from old spy movies.  She likes to tie men to chairs and alternate between hand smother a...

HoHH roadmap July '21

Okay, attempt no.2 to write a roadmap for "House of Hellish Harlots" without it sprawling over 1,000 words.

As I said in the last roadmap post, most of the base features are now in place.  The vendor NPCs are implemented and there are enough harlots to give a good variety of selections for the first few rounds.

The next step is more harlots.  Lots and lots of harlots.  Rather than write them as the ideas come to me, I need to start organising them into factions and ...

Update 4th Jul '04

A quickish update.

Last week I put version 0.021 of "House of Hellish Harlots" out.  That had 2 new harlots.

The second half of the week was the usual combo of breather after getting a release out mixed with planning out what the next month should be.  I was hoping to get the glass mannequin finished, but sensed I was stalling a bit on one of her scenes, so switched to writing a couple of new harlot ideas just to keep things moving.

At this point I need to speed up...

House of Hellish Harlots ver0.021 (2 new harlots - Suffocatrix Tete Khantu and Nooru)

Here's the new release.  Unfortunately, I was away for nearly all of Tuesday and had visitors on Wednesday, which meant I wasn't able to complete the 3rd harlot in time.  The foul-mouthed glass mannequin ballerina will be dropped back to a future release (and at least gives me a good head start for next month's content).

ver0.021 adds 2 new harlots.

Suffocatrix Tete Khantu
She's a much more lethal boob smotherer than Suffocatrix Mamilla.  I see her as a mid- to l...

Update 27th Jun '21

This week I was finally able to get back to working on harlot scenarios.

Executrix Boob Smotherer now has a name - Tete Khantu
She is typed up and mostly implemented.  I just need to finish testing on her.

Nuru Nuru girl also has a name - Nooru
I thought she'd be very straightforward and then ended up being a scenario I had to write in patches over the week.  I think that might have been the usual problem of not finishing something while it's hot and then it draggi...

Delaying HoHH Road Map post again

We're getting near the end of the month.  At this point I don't want to be doing anything that isn't writing, typing, or implementing harlot scenarios.

I have 3 harlots lined up in varying degrees of progress and my target will be to get them all finished by Thursday next week.

After that I'll try to post a 'future plans' post that isn't a sprawling, rambling mess.

Update 20th Jun '21

This was a bit of a scrappy week of more bug fixing and bashing my head against a monitor while I tried to learn basic WordPress webdev.

I got the interim version 0.020 out.  This fixes a lot of typos and bugs that had been sitting on my todo list for a while.  With that done, I had the public demo version I wanted.

Then I got stymied for a while as I realised my limited web dev knowledge was completely out of date.  This resulted in a frustrating couple of days try...

Public version of "House of Hellish Harlots" live

I found a plugin to embed twine stories into a wordpress site and managed to get something up.

It can be found at www.houseofhellishharlots.com

The site is currently very minimalistic.  I was going to use some temporary art, but wasn't very happy with how that was looking.  I need to do some more tinkering with the various tools until I'm more comfortable with using them.  In this case I thought having something so minimalistic it has an aura of mystery would be bet...

House of Hellish Harlots ver0.020a (public demo)

For real this time.  I goofed, but thankfully it was a minor one.  This was an embarrassing bit of code:

/* Turn on/off vision charm */
<<if $player.charms.includes(13)>>
   <<set $player.hasVision to true>>
<<else>>
   <<set $player.hasVision to true>>
<</if>>

Ahem....  Oh dear.

I'll delete the previous post to prevent confusion over the versions.  ...

HoHH Roadmap '21 - Short-Term

A bit delayed.  My first attempt at this was a rambling mess, so I thought I'd break it into chunks so I can properly focus on features/harlots/etc I'd like to add in the short-, medium- and long-term.

v0.019 of "House of Hellish Harlots" was released at the start of June.  This was a bit of a milestone release as it removes the last of the scaffold and placeholder code.  This is what we currently have:

- Intro/Character Generation.
- Core Game Loop (harlot prese...

Update 13th Jun '21

This week was a bit of scenario-writing, a bit of research into website stuff, and a lot of bug-squashing.

On the scenario writing side, I was able to get Executrix Boob Smotherer back on track and her 1st draft is now finished.  I was also able to get a bit more done on the Nuru Nuru Girl.

The website stuff for a public demo was a lot fiddlier.  I was hoping I'd be able to dump the .html into WordPress and run it in-browser.  From what I was able to find out, it's ...

Delaying the new HoHH Roadmap post

I was going to post that today, but the thing I wrote is very long and rambly and still misses off some of the features I want to talk about.  I doubt people will want to slog through 2K words, so I'll put that aside and see if I can break it up into more manageable chunks over the weekend.  Maybe 3 posts covering short-, medium-, and long-term aims I'll post over the course of next week.

On a slightly unrelated note.  I've been busy clobbering all the various bugs and t...

Hentai Game Review - Succubus Puttel

I switched back to smutty games for my leisure-time gaming.  Here's a review of 62studio's "Succubus Puttel" on my blog:

http://www.manyeyedhydra.com/2021/06/hentai-game-review-succubus-puttel.html

The devs really like big boobs on their succs!

Update 6th Jun '21

As is customary, the update post after a release is usually a bit shorter.  See the previous release (v0.019) for what was finished off at the start of the week.

The 2nd half of the week was a little quieter as I took a breather after the mad dash to get v0.019 out.

I have about 6 or 7 harlot scenarios in various degrees of progress.  Now that I'm not restricted on trying to balance the number of harlot types, I went back to the Executrix Boob Smotherer.  Still a bi...

House of Hellish Harlots ver0.019 (3 new harlots to replace last of the placeholders)

It's a couple of days late, but it's finally here.  Sammy's scenario took a little more testing than a normal scenario.

This is almost a milestone release.  This replaces the last of the placeholder 'dummy' harlots.  Everything is fleshed out.  This is pretty much the first 4-6(ish) rounds of the game with everything in place (with the main exception being the harlots aren't organised and tiered - you shouldn't have to choose Sorpresa or Hiru in round 1!).  Ther...

Quick Update on HoHH ver0.019

It's getting late here and I'm just about to go to bed.  I'm glad I said Wednesday/Thursday because I need Thursday.

Sammy's scenario turned out to be a little tricky to implement.  While she doesn't have the same amount of text as someone like Hiru, her scenario is similar to Panta Prota's in that she reacts to the player differently based on different factors.  This made it a little more complex to thread everything together.

The 3rd harlot now has a name - Khanar...

Update 30th May '21

I was hoping this was going to be a short update, as in check back tomorrow for the v0.019 release sort of update.  Unfortunately there were a few too many IRL disruptions last week.  It also took me a while to settle on the 3rd scenario.  This means the v0.019 release will likely be Wednesday/Thursday next week rather than Monday.  This again takes it into the next month, so I apologise for that.

Acarina is implemented, tested and ready to go.

Sammy is typed u...

Some detailed thoughts/plans on Charms (and acknowledging mistakes)

One of the recent additions to the House of Hellish Harlots was charms.  These are either permanent bonus effects or protective abilities for the whole of a run.

I've been getting a few comments on them.  There is a simple maxim for writers and creators (which sadly gets ignored a lot nowadays).  If one person raises an issue, they might be wrong.  If multiple people raise the same issue, it's probably the creator that's wrong.

So, onto charms.

One of the...

Update 23rd May '21

Progress on new harlots is still ticking along.

On the maintenance side, I added two new charms and updated Cibi Somnia.

The new charms are an anti-sleep charm and a charm that should have amusing interactions with vamps.

Cibi got her update to interact with relevant charms.  I also noticed there was a path where the player could ejaculate despite being emptied, so I added a little passage to cover for that scenario.  Also, for when the new version comes out, anti-...

To self-plagiarise or not self-plagiarise...

Acarina is typed up at just over 5,500 words.  She's the first of the vamps and long-time readers will remember her from "Vampiric Boobies".

The controversial part is that long-time readers might find part of her scenario a little too familiar.

I re-read the old story for a reminder of her appearance and then realised her scenario was likely going to play out the same way, with much of the same dialogue.  It's a game she plays with her prey.  The main difference in...

Update 16th May '21

This week felt like getting back on track.  I was able to work up through the gears and finished with a productive weekend.

After some brainstorming, I have a lot of ideas for various vamps.  Enough to make their own clan.  I think I can also make them rivals with the leech girls, which will add extra interactions I can work in to the harlot scenarios, and maybe also expand later as I start to think about what should be in the mid to late rounds.

The first vamp I st...

Thoughts about Resident Evil: Village, Lady D, and vampires

I wrote something on my blog:

http://www.manyeyedhydra.com/2021/05/thoughts-on-resident-evil-village-lady.html

It started as a review and then digressed into thoughts on story ideas and vampires.

(redirections have been playing up with my personal blog/website, so if you get redirected to a generic GoDaddy page, let me know.  I need to get on to them ...

Update 9th May '21

I was hoping to get off to a flying start for the month, but it ended up being a stumble.

I currently have two harlots on the go.

One of them is Sammy.  She's a bit more than a regular harlot and ideally I want her in the next batch so she can keep her id number.  I wasn't quite sure where to take her scenario, so I've planned it out and will hopefully get it written up next week.

The second is the shorter harlot scenario I was thinking of adding to May's release b...

The Harlot Placeholder Poll Results

I was a bit stressed out and too frantically writing/coding/testing v0.018 to go over the results of the Harlot Placeholder Poll last week.  Now I'm not in such a rush, I'll go over the results and give my thoughts on which placeholders are likely to get full scenarios and what they might be.

#1 Succuba (59 votes)
And the winner is... generic succubus!

I was a bit surprised to see this one top the poll.  She's simultaneously both the easiest and hardest.  Easies...

Update 2nd May '21

It ran over by a day, but I managed to get the new version (0.018) of House of Hellish Harlots out.  You can find it in the previous post.  Trying to keep to a regular monthly release schedule helped here.  I suspect I could have pootled around on Hiru's scenario for another week or so if I hadn't had the end of month deadline to give me a kick up the ass.  That said, typing up nearly 8,000 words, editing and then implementing a 10K word scenario in a week is a little fast...

House of Hellish Harlots ver0.018 (Barman and Hiru no-Koochi)

I missed the end of the month by a day, but here is April's House of Hellish Harlots release.  Hiru's scenario was just a little too big for me to be able to implement and test in a single day.

April was a bit of a patchy month.  I needed to finish the Barman NPC off and didn't really get the creative juices flowing for new harlots.  At least the new harlot, Hiru no-Koochi, has a fairly long and detailed scenario.

Here's a list of new additions:

THE HANDSOME B...
