House of Hellish Harlots - update 10th May '20

We're not far from the second part of the Nurse NPC release.

Va-kyuuma (vac-bed succubus)
Implemented and tested.

Calliophi (massage lamia)
Implemented but needs testing

Baloobia (big boob slime girl)
Just the Bad End scene to write.  That and Good End scene to type up.

Baloobia's scenario ended up being a little messy in the middle.  This is generally why I write 1st drafts longhand and type them up afterwards as it gives me a chance to fix thin...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 3rd May '20

We're back to updates on a Sunday.  That's a good sign and hopefully will continue to be the main update day.

Nurse NPC - or rather Nurse Honey, as the cat is out of the bag by now - has been released as the ver0.011 release.  This is just her NPC functions.  I will be adding a nice scene for her at a later date.

Also, something I forgot to mention with that release.  The option to see her just showing up on the list is a temporary measure.  When I impleme...

House of Hellish Harlots ver0.011 (Nurse NPC)

The nurse is in the House!

As we're getting near the end of the month and I already have her ready, I thought I'd put out the Nurse NPC separately.  Unfortunately, this is an NPC-only release, so it's more on the mechanics side rather than adding new sex content, so please manage expectations accordingly.  Work on the next batch of harlots is moving again, so I'm hoping for a quick follow-up release that will feature them.

Some quick notes.

Players now have a means...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 27th Apr '20

The wheels are moving again, but not as quick as I'd like, so I'm putting myself back on fixed hours to try and get a bit of discipline back.

Things are moving though.  I've typed up Nurse NPC's section and implemented most of it.  She doesn't have a harlot scenario yet, but that will be added at a later date.  (I don't think I can get away with not giving her a sex scene.  You'll understand why when you meet her).  For now it will just be the standard NPC task...

House of Hellish Harlots - (no) update 21st Apr '20

Sorry for the delay.  Been out of sorts for about a week (not THAT out of sorts, I should thankfully clarify during a pandemic!).  No update for last week as wasn't able to get much done.

Not the best post post to put out after getting an influx of new patrons (thanks for your interest!), but I want to maintain weekly updates even if they're not so good rather than just going AWOL.

Anyway, back to work on the new Nurse NPC.  I think you'll like her.  I'll try...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 13th Apr '20

Apologies for the slightly delayed update.  I had some other things going on over Easter.  I also wanted to wait until I had the 1st draft of the NPC Nurse written, which - after some frenzied writing this morning - is now done.

Writing the first drafts seems to be the slowest part.  I'm hoping I can pick up some time again when I get around to typing up and coding this week.

NPC Nurse
1st draft written.

Va-kyuuma (vac-bed succubus)
Mostly typed up. 2020-04-13 17:28:59 +0000 UTC View Post

House of Hellish Harlots - update 5th Apr '20

This week was a bit patchy.  Some other stuff came up.  Nothing serious, thankfully, in these rather worrisome times.

I haven't really spoken much about the coronavirus pandemic as I want to be writing escapism from real-world troubles.  The only thing I will say, as many responsible creators have done already, if your current financial situation is uncertain, spend your money on your self and family.  I'm not going to pretend I don't need the money, as I'd be throw...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 29th Mar '20

This week I finally put out ver0.010.  I hope you enjoyed it.  Let me know your thoughts and also if you encounter any bugs.

I'm hoping that's the last of the awkward coding snarl-ups.  It was definitely more complex than I first thought, but as I got Suffocatrix Mamilla's 3 stage scenario and alt end out of it, and have the potential to do that with other harlots in future, I think it was worth it.

This week i picked up a new laptop and transferred everything over....

House of Hellish Harlots ver0.010 (Boobella + ailments)

Took a bit longer than I thought, but here's version 0.010.

It was originally intended to be a "mechanics" release, as I reworked a bunch of stuff under the hood to fix various snarl-ups with repeat visits and The Portly Gentleman.  Then I added Boobella because I wanted some new sexy content.  I also thought I'd get those repeat visits for Anna Boa and Suffocatrix Mamilla done, and the new material for them almost represents two new scenarios.

Here is the full changelo...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 22nd Mar '20

After treading water for a couple of weeks, it feels good to have made some concrete progress.

Boobella's scenario is now fully implemented and just needs testing.

The main stumbling block was Suffocatrix Mamilla's repeat scenario.  I finally broke that block and now have about 1,500 words typed up of her further smothering her 'boobslave'.  Her 'quest line' can also terminate in a non-standard and non-fatal game over.  The final scene still needs writing, but I kno...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 15th Mar '20

Things are still a little chaotic.  I spotted I was at the down part of my creative cycle and took the first part of the week off to refocus.  I think that's done the trick and cleared a few blocks.

Boobella is now typed up, and is also an indicator to another problem.  At 6,700 words, she's another scenario that's a little too long.  This isn't that bad of a thing.  I think people will have a lot of fun with her in the next release.  The main issue is the...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 8th Mar '20

A frustrating week unfortunately.

On the one hand the coding part went relatively smoothly.  Ailments now have an effect on harlot selection.  A player with boob fixation might find some harlot choices made for them.  I've also replaced semen count with a more cryptic description to make some visits when running low a little more... interesting.

(This is only as a trial measure to see if players find it annoying or not.)

The main stumbling block was on the fir...

House of Hellish Harlots - A Roadmap

This is my rough plan for the next few releases for House of Hellish Harlots.  As we've already seen in February, don't treat this as set in stone.  If something comes up and needs to be fixed first, it will be fixed first (In this case, me realising the scoring and repeat visit code needed to be straightened out as it was taking too much time to implement per harlot).

ver0.010 - Those aforementioned repeat visit and scoring fixes.
This will also include expanding Suffocatr...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 29th Feb '20

This week ended up being a bit of a digression.

I started on writing massage lamia's scenario and hit that awkward spot of not having her character quite nailed down again.  For a change of pace, I decided to get around to finally implementing repeat visits and Portly Gentleman scoring for Pix Decipula and Couchelaxa, and...

Implementing Repeat Visits is surprisingly nightmarish.

I wanted the option for players to be able to go back and see certain harlots again in the ...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 23rd Feb '20

This week I've mostly been working on Boobella's scenario.  I put this one back from the last batch because I knew it was going to be another longer scene and let myself get carried away.  Her sex scene has multiple 'pops' if the player allows.

Also, it gets me back to a cycle of one in 1st draft, one in type-up phase, etc.  For some reason, my productivity slows if everything is in the 1st draft phase (because I have nothing to bounce to if writing the 1st draft hits a s...

House of Hellish Harlots - update 15th Feb '20

A quietish week.  After trying to hit two tightish deadlines in a row, I needed to catch up with some IRL stuff.

"The Succubus Heart Squad" didn't place in Literotica's Valentine's Day competition, but I thought it was a long shot at best.  It doesn't quite have the same emotive 'punch' as previous winning Nicole stories and rushing it out probably meant I missed a lot of typos that will have me blushing in shame when I come to re-edit it for a collection.

Despite this, ...

New Story - The Succubus Heart Squad

Last update post I mentioned I was working on a new story.  I kept it vague because it's an old story I started some years ago for Literotica's Valentine's Day story competition.  Every year I break it out about this time of year to get it done, and every year I fail to finish it in time.  To be honest, I thought it would be the same this year.  After running late with the last House of Hellish Harlots release, I didn't think I'd have enough time.

Then I wrote 6,000 ...

House of Hellish Harlots - Update 2nd Feb '20

This was more of a fix-up week after putting out ver 0.009, especially as I was away all day Friday and Saturday.

Stat Rolls
I redid the stats generator.  The old one was just a placeholder that picked a random number from 1 to 5 for each stat.  This was a bit too random.  House of Hellish Harlots is not a typical RPG where the player will be boosting stats throughout the game in order to take on harder and harder monster (girls).  It will be more about figuring t...

Thoughts on last HoHH release and what it pertains to future releases

This isn't quite an update post, I'll still be doing that sometime over the weekend.

If you check my last post, you'll see an attachment for "House of Hellish Harlots" ver0.009.  This adds four new harlots to play with and is hopefully bug free.  Hopefully, they're sexy.  Hopefully, they're scary.  I'd love to hear your feedback.

There were a few things I tinkered with to try and add a little bit more variety.  I personally like femdom-y type succubi, but ...

House of Hellish Harlots ver0.009 (4 new Harlots)

And we're ready!

ver0.009 has 4 new harlots for you to play with: Pix Decipula, Vête Piège, Couchelaxa and Suffocatrix Mamilla.  As usual, I will keep quiet on what they can do and what's needed to survive them as it's more fun to let people figure it out.   I've tried to use a variety of shticks.  Suffocatrix Mamilla is probably closest to my original plans for what the standard scenarios should look like.  I suspect she'll also be responsible for a few surp...

House of Hellish Harlots - Update 26th Jan '20

This is a quickish update.  The proper release will follow as soon as I've got the last bits'n'bobs done (mostly testing).

Harlot updates:

Pix Decipula (lazy succubus)
Implemented.

Couchelaxa (????)
Implemented.

Vête Piège (messy fluids succubus)
Implemented.

Suffocatrix Mamilla (boob smother succubus)
Implemented.

Now you might be wondering where either Boobella or "massage lamia" are.  The answer is: I'm pushing both back to the...

House of Hellish Harlots - Update 19th Jan '20

This was a much better week.  Unfortunately, my a "it will be a bit tight" was a gross underestimate.  The longer scenarios take longer to type up and implement, and even with solid, uninterrupted work days, I still have a fair bit to do.  I'm working the weekend again, but I feel like I've got things rolling again, so I don't feel too bad about that.  It will mean, unfortunately, I'll be pushing back the release to next weekend.  I know some of you will be disappoint...

House of Hellish Harlots - Update 12th Jan '20

Slightly later update than planned.  Bit of a rough week.  Various things came up, so I lost a couple of days and bits of other days (personal rather than game related - that's still going fine!).

I implemented Pix Decipula.  I still need to test her and tweak the scoring, but I like how the scenario looks and I think people will have fun with her (even if she is a lazy minx!). The one thing it did reinforce is that I need to be much tighter with scenario lengths and get ...

House of Hellish Harlots - Update 4th Jan '20

First progress report of the New Year!

It being the holiday period, it was another week of working things around family commitments.  At the moment I'm working on getting the next batch of harlots out ASAP.  

One thing I have to be careful of is drifting too far from the original plan of having external factors (stats, gift choice, attitude) determine how the scenarios play out.  The two harlots I'm working on at the moment have multiple scenes depending on player c...

House of Hellish Harlots - Update 28th Dec '19

Weekly update time.  After a good chunk of time hacking code, it's good to be back to writing the sexy harlot scenarios again.

First the coding.  I haven't seen any comments on ver0.008, so I'm hoping that means it's stable and (mostly) bug free.

Next up is the harlots.  It is going to be just the five new ones for the next release.  All five are planned out (apart from their names).

"Lazy succubus" - 1st draft mostly done aside from a few minor variants....

House of Hellish Harlots ver0.008 (some bug fixes and a new option for the Madam)

I don't really want to make a habit of midnight Sunday releases, but I've been knocked about with minor illness this week and had a minor family emergency (not too serious, fortunately) that kept me away from working for most of the day.

This is a mini-release follow-up to ver0.007 I put out last week.

Changes:

The Madam
She now has an additional option where the player can get her to add a harlot of their choice to the next round.  This costs a mulligan token.

Bugs in ver0.007?

Just a reminder.  If you notice any bugs or text that seems off in the last release (v0.007), please let me know below.

I'm looking to put out another sneaky extra release at the weekend.  This fixes some bugs with The Portly Gentleman, allows repeat visits with Arana Solfugis, and will hopefully add an option to The Madam to allow players to choose a harlot to be added to the next round of selections.  I also want to squash any outstanding bugs I might have missed.

New Demo of "House of Hellish Harlots" - ver0.007, The Portly Gentleman

Okay, now I've had a chance to get some sleep (and get some other morning tasks out of the way), let's go over this release properly.

First up, it's a mechanics-focused release, which means it's more games-type stuff rather than sexy scenario-type stuff.  Because of how complex the new scoring system (and the code refactor) turned out to be, I decided to split the planned release into two.  Now this is out, I'll be switching back to finishing off 5 or so harlot scenarios for t...

The Not-An-Update Update for Dec 14th

As the title says, this is a brief one.  The proper update with a release tacked on will come later.

I had the release mostly ready bar testing early on Wednesday.  I decided to push another feature forward (repeat visits to harlots), but then lost most of Friday after being knocked around a bit by a dental appointment.

Not sure when I'll have it ready.  Could be tonight, possibly Sunday.  I'll put the full post and release up when it's ready.

House of Hellish Harlots - Update Dec 7th and a Slight Change of Plan

Time for the weekly update.

For this week it was mostly a case of putting the maintenance hat on and burying my arms up to the elbows in code.

When it comes to coding, I'm a firm believer in taking pauses every so often to review, refactor and clean up code.  It saves a lot of pain in the long term.

In this case, I started with the individual harlot scenarios (creating a more streamlined tester for them) and moved out to some of the NPC code.  The original NPC Goss...
