Succubus Stories v0.11 Update Preview (Patreon)
Content
Succubus Stories v0.11 - Selfcare, will be coming to the patron edition on December 15. It will come to the free edition only five days later, on December 20. I want to make sure the release comes out at least several days before Christmas, so I bumped the release up two days from what would be the norm. This is a special case; we will resume seven day delays for the free edition of the game for the next update.
This update comes with a ton of new ways to play...with yourself! New and expanded masturbation content with both normal and futanari varieties have been added, along with tons of related perks, traits, and abilities. Masturbation as an activity, when performed outdoors or in public, or in front of NPCs with a new generic NPC action, now plays out like an encounter! Also added in this update is a wearable butt plug, which has an effect on a variety of game systems and activities.
While no new main story content has been added in this update, two new requests have been added, one of which is extremely large and involved. New and improved activities and events have been added, as well as new potions, character advancement options, and more.
New Story and Side Content
There will be no new main story content in v0.11. I always hate to do this, but I have to delay working on the story content, and on Rais's romance path until after the holidays for various reasons. Expect v0.12 to focus almost exclusively on story content as a result.
That being said, there is new side content here in the form of some new requests. It's been a while since we've had a more complex, lengthy request, so I'm trying to do that here. Expect two larger requests, one of which is quite lengthy and involved.
The requests should be pretty big deals, I think. I hope they'll tide you over until v0.12!
Activities and Events
The biggest add here, hands down, is the new and improved masturbation activity. Read all about it here. It's a pretty major addition and I think helps massively spice up exhibition and futanari content at the same time.
The next major game addition is the chatting feature, which has been outlined here. I hope this system enhances the liveliness of the city while providing new and sexy opportunities.
Other activity adjustments are largely house-cleaning sorts of things. For example, you can now steal undergarments from NPCs after using a sleeping potion, and you can now use futa potions with female customers in prostitution. These are important additions, but they're also things that I recognize can be a bit hard to get excited about. Coupled with the other major systems being added, though, I think there's a decent amount of content here.
The Butt Plug
One thing that deserves special mention is the butt plug, which is a reward for completing a specific request in this update. The butt plug does a lot of things and adds a lot of content. It's integrated into most other content. For example, it will enhance the player character's pleasure during vaginal sex, or need to be temporarily removed during anal sex. The player character can "use" it on her partner during lesbian sex.
It can also be used to store anal creampies, which itself has additional effects on various activities and events. It can also be "lubricated" from time to time. Overall, implementing this actually took a lot of time and clever programming, but I think the results will impress. I want to add additional "equipment" in the future, and I think I've laid out a good process for doing so with this addition.
The Hand-drawn Art Set
The new art set is coming to the free edition. Yay!
I think you all will love the new art. Patrons have been enjoying it for near on seven weeks now, and the only bug that was identified in the art system was fixed already, which I think means I can't really justify keeping it in beta much longer. I also have all this awesome art I want to use to promote the game, and I feel like that borders on false advertising if that art is only in the patron edition.
This is also the last update of the year, and the last update before the holidays, so if I don't do it now, it'll be a while before I can do it at all.
Character Progression
A new advanced trait set, this one based around masturbation, has been added. Like the other advanced trait sets, this one adds a lot of new abilities and powerful passive effects. I think it's a lot of fun! All advanced trait sets have also been made much easier to unlock. Several new normal traits have also been added, along with request reward traits.
A new type of sexual experience and a new fetish type have been added, a long with all new perks. One of the perks unlocks a new sexual encounter action that can be used in all encounter types! Another one of the perks unlocks an action you can use on NPCs.
A new powerful potion was added, amrita. You'll just have to unlock it in game to see what it does! ;]
Other Stuff
These are all pretty small, but I wanted to mention them because I think together they add up to pretty major improvements to the game as a whole.
Several interface changes have been made. The game has a much more "textured" look, and is a bit more colorful. I've also added status indicators, which will let you know when you're naked or wearing the butt plug at a glance.
Several activities have been "bridged." For example, finishing the flashing activity by masturbating now starts one of the new masturbation activities if you have the appropriate perks. After masturbating in public, you may be propositioned by an NPC, and can choose to have sex, etc.
Some adjustments to perks have been made. You now only need the Bold Flasher perk to have sex in public during prostitution, which is earned much earlier than No Shame, the previous requirement. How public sex works with prostitution has also been altered pretty dramatically.
I think all together these changes make for a much smoother and more polished game experience!
