Getting back to it, but still a few disruptions with some IRL distractions and of course Elden Ring. Y u make the game so big, Miyazaki! :D
The last day of the month is normally where I like to post new releases. Unfortunately I'm still deep in writing Temptacia, so she's not ready yet. I did think about switching to get a new experimental 1.5 version out and have that be June's release, but that would mean cutting into the time that would be otherwise spent writing Temptac...

My quest to actually get to the Elden Ring DLC is still ongoing, so my usual schedule is a little disrupted.
A couple of days later than normal, here is the harlot spotlight on Kanna bi Grafolita.
Kanna's is another filler harlot, in that she doesn't belong to any faction. She's another example of the problem when you create the harlots first and try to fit them to a faction afterwards. Some elements of her would suggest a fit for the sensuality faction,...

This is the last of the Tier 1 artificial beings - Chén, the foul-mouthed dancing mannequin.
This was a fairly difficult one for Marwmellow to do because of the intricacies of her clockwork-n-organ innards visible through her transparent chassis. Unfortunately, I overstressed the horror aspects of her organic heart and eyeballs and the first version was pure nightmare fuel. (It's also the better version, but sadly doesn't fit the character and erotic nature of the game.)

Apologies, thanks to a combination of family stuff and Elden Ring, this week ended up being an impromptu week off.
To make up for it, here's an early look at the Va-kyuuma art.
Normal service should be resumed next week.

The Harlot Spotlight is a day late this week. Elden Ring might have happened... ahem...
Last week I spoke about Suka no-Hirudo and how she might end up being a member of a new faction to be added in future. Now it's time to talk about a member of a rival faction to that prospective future faction. Acarina is one of the vamps, and the vamps and leeches do not get on.
Acarina is one of the rewrite scenarios. These are harlot scenarios featuring character...

And rounding out the last of the Pêls (for now ;) ), here is the art for Pêl-V Gnoi. She's one of the artificial beings created by The Doctoress, who took inspiration from carnivorous plant girls in her design.
(And I might also have been inspired by Monmusu Quest's Watermelon Girl for this one,,,)
Art is by Marwmellow.

Pretty steady progress this week.
I'm currently working away on Temptacia's scenario. Her paizuri scene has been written and I'm most of the way through her blowjob scene. She will have five scenes in total (the other three being regular sex, anal, and feet). I'm hoping I'll have her ready by the end of the month, but these scenarios are pretty big, so I'll see how it goes. Progress on her seems to be going quite well, so I'm hopeful I'll have her ready.
The other thing I've...

Another week, another Harlot Spotlight. I think people have been waiting for this one for a while, so I hope the art delivers. So, without further ado, let's talk about Suka no-Hirudo.
Suka no-Hirudo is one of the earliest harlots. I think she might be the second or third scenario I wrote. Which only goes to show that initial idea of no more than 1-1.5K words per harlot went out of the window very quickly!
Her scenario is fairly straightforward. She doesn't really ...

It was a couple of days late, but I finally got the new release of House of Hellish Harlots out at the end of the month. This is v0.055 and adds the first mini-boss, the artificial scylla Rwberia Godr-0-sgwid, to the House. I'm still not happy with the algorithm to determine 'perfect matches' and Bad Ends, but for now she's functional. I'll go back later to tweak that.
For the rest of the week I've been working on the next 'mini-boss'. This is the long-awaited Temptacia scenario. ...

After taking a week off to finish off HoHH v0.055, it's time to return to the harlot spotlights. This week it's the infamous "Dick-Destroying Fairy": Sgriosar Balgan-Buachair.
Sgriosar is one of the succufairies. I'll talk about them in more detail when I get to Cèis nan Cridheachan. The main spark of demented inspiration was to look at starfish and use that to solve the "fairy problem". The succufairies are too small to fit a penis inside them, so the solution is to have...

It took a bit longer than I'd like, but I now finally have version 0.055 of House of Hellish Harlots ready for release. Once again, apologies for the delay. This was a big beast of a scenario that fought me all the way. I also ran into some problems with the algorithm used to determine whether the player survives or not. More on that later.
This release is a special one as it adds the first 'mini-boss' harlot to the House. These are higher ranking harlots within their respective factio...

UPDATE: I'm still tied up in testing. Looks like the release will be tomorrow. Apologies again for the delay.
A quick update post. The proper update will be the release notes for the HoHH release, which I'm hoping I'll put out later today.
It's a big scenario, almost a mini-game in itself. I'm down to some last bits'n'bobs to finish off and then a lot of testing to make sure everything is working okay.
I'm going to work my ass off on it today to try and get it out befor...

I've finally managed to find my 'high gear' as I hit the final straight and work has been progressing very well on her this week.
However... it's a big scenario, bigger than any previous scenario I've added to HoHH and has a relatively complex mechanic determining Ends under the hood. In word count alone it's not far off 20K words, which is about a third or quarter of a novel in length. To put it in perspective, if I'd stuck to my original plan for HoHH of very short scenarios of 1-1...

This week I think I finally broke the back of the Artificial Scylla.
8 of her tentacles are fully written and typed up. 4 are coming along nicely. That just leaves 1 I haven't started, but as that's the 'death' choice, it's a fairly straightforward run to a Bad End and should be less complex than the others.
She also now has a name - Rwberia Godr-0-sgwid. (Think of her first name as 'Ruberia'.)
I'm currently playing around with her mechanics. The initial idea I had fo...

The harlot spotlight today is on one of the more interesting harlots in the House – Sammy. This does present me with a little bit of a dilemma as it's very difficult to talk about Sammy at all without revealing massive spoilers. As the Harlot Spotlight series is an in-depth look at a character (as well as revealing their artwork), I don't think I can avoid this. So, I'll put a big spoiler warning on this post and direct readers to play through her scenario first (and talk to The Elegant...

I'm currently showing off the Faction 2 (Artificial Beings) Tier 1 harlots. This week it's the unusual N-Carnizadalama. She looks like a fiery flamboyant flamenco dancer. What she actually is... is not that.

I think I have maybe 2/3s of the Tier 1 harlot art in now. Currently I'm using the $5 and higher tiers (and my own pocket) to fund the commissions. If you like what you're seeing, all support gratefully appreciated!

I didn't quite break the back of the artificial octopus, but I did make solid progress last week.
She's fiddly in a similar way to writing Succuba was. None of her segments are particularly long in word count, but there are a lot of them. Then there was that panic when I wasn't writing her fast enough to hit release deadlines, which slowed it down even more.
Currently, her core and 4 tentacles are fully written and typed up. 5 tentacles are in varying degrees of progress. 4 ...

Okay, technically I've already spoiled this artwork, but I thought I'd give her the full spotlight treatment anyway. So here is some stuff on Succuba.
Succuba is another 'game mechanics' harlot. There's a probably a technical term for what she is in game design, but I don't know what it is and in the absence of that I'll call her a Resource Converter. If your game has multiple forms of resources/'currency', there is usually something that can convert one resource to another...

Did it help? I think so. I spent the week trying to get on track.
I did consider switching to one of the smaller harlot scenarios, but I don't actually have many of those left to write. Maybe 5, and all deep in Tier 3.
So, I just rolled up my sleeves and got back to wrestling that artificial octopus. There was progress there. It's still a little slower than I'd like, but I think this one is just going to fight me all the way. At the moment it's a cha...

Continuing the harlot spotlights and this time I have art for the most recent character to show up in the House – the cow girl nurse Friesya Holstun.
She's another 'game mechanic' harlot in that she's an independent whose scenario serves a specific in-game purpose, kind of like landing on a bonus square in a board game. She's also an unplanned addition. I've had all the remaining slots pretty much planned out for about a year now. This didn't include Friesya. She's an ex...

Here is more art, this time of the enigmatic Couchelaxa.
Unfortunately, I'm probably only going to use her portrait in the game rather than the full piece. Originally, my plan was to show the full pinup as the girl is introduced during the choose-a-harlot phase. However, this creates problems for the more monstrous girls. The House has a kind of illusion magic that makes lamias, arachnes and similar appear as regular girls (so not to frighten away potential visitors). This would me...

#131 Boob Witch
An evil eldritch entity that haunts a specific building. Any visitors are drawn into a pocket dimension of gigantic boobies. They are squashed between them and subjected to unearthly pleasures until their mind breaks and their soul is absorbed by the Boob Witch.
I have this pencilled down as a novel idea. It's a fairly nasty subversion of series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The protagonists think they're going to fight horrors with...

Stressing over missing another end-of-month deadline locked me up. I realised I needed a break and used the release of Stellar Blade as an excuse to take the week off. Sometimes you need a break to recharge the batteries.

Right. I'm actually pretty much through all of the spare ideas I had written down for HoHH. There were more than I thought, which allowed me to run this on autopilot for the first third of the year. Now I'm going to have to dream up some new sexy monster girls and lust demons.

I'm still hacking away at her. Progress is a little slower than I'd like but I'm steadily increasing the word count and adding new suction tentacles. I think she's just one of those scenarios that will fight me all the way. I don't think I'll make the end of the month (again, sorry). I'll just keep working away on her and release her when she's done.
