Fortnightly Progress - 12th December (Patreon)

Relatively quick one so I can get back to testing. 

• No Haven

Update should be out later today depending on whether or not there's anything really nasty in there that I've not found yet. 

Will likely be the usual round of hotfixes and these will come with some new golem content. These will be improvements for two of the current starts and a new unique. All three are getting new commissions generously provided by a patron. They're on the twitter if you haven't seen them yet. 

Patch notes as they currently stand are at the bottom of this post.   

• The No Haven Conversion

Down to 685 from 794 conditions from last time so the goal gets closer. 

Work continues on the Wednesday streams. Due to the testing I did miss last night's with permission from the patron whose been backing them. I do plan to do a afternoon stream going into the night on Saturday and if hotfix work allows it I'd like to have it be all twine work to see if I can get over this very high hurdle of the conditions. 

• Commissions

July+August - Deep Mountains Slave Caravan, Watchtower, and Fake Herald of Paradise: 

With the Slave Caravan all of these are done outside of maybe that fix to the fake Herald of Paradise. The Slave Caravan response on the discord and twitter (even got some new follows!) especially is phenonemal so I'm sure you'll be seeing more NH work from Felox08 in future.

September+October - Encampment: Still hoping for end of December for this one, but given the holidays and the size of it I wouldn't be surprised if it was January. 

November - Dark Elf Fire Elementalist: Artist I had in mind for this I may hold for another piece. What I might do instead is hold this for January as an artist I've used before and had good results with is looking to do something for me then and I think it'd be good fit for them. 

Bonus Commission - Raid Human Farm: Very happy how this turned out. They're also super down for doing backgrounds which is such a rarity. 

Bonus Commission - Ice Breaker: After my mea culpa last fortnight this turned out going way better than I expected. Artist who had gone on break that day opened up two slots, I managed to get one, and I've seen a sketch for her already. 

• Picarto

Not even going to try a schedule for this fortnight here given how far I'm currently behind with outstanding streams along with the seasonal holiday coming up which will entail some time away. I do intend to entirely catch up so keep an eye on the twitter or the tumblr for stream announcements. As mentioned above I do plan to do some longer streams to accomplish that including ideally an afternoon to late. 

I will also be doing the New Year's Eve stream into the early hours, and hopefully without a repeat of inadvertently streaming for three days thing due to being very out of it that happened last year.  

As always I hope that was worth the read, and thanks again for your support!  

And now as promised the patch notes for the update: 

-Respect checking improvements including:

---Everyone can now be made use of if you convince them. 

---More opportunities to mind control your slavers with the trait Dominator with many new effects from breaking your slaver's wills be it adding beneficial traits or removing annoying mental traits like Cowardly and Greedy. There's two possible paths in there which can happen so unassuming meek slavers who wouldn't hurt a fly can become frothing combat beasts, while frothing combat beasts become a lot more meek, pliant and easy to manage. Of course if you do it too much you can still break them entirely.

---All magic and elementalism traits can be used for respect checking if you have them. Also includes specific text for all of the various summons.

---Slavers are now affected by their reputation for good and bad.  

---Improved the look of the feedback when that preference is on. Some modifiers now have better feedback than before. Mainly to do with Domination attempts, but if people like the extra info I'll do more of the different methods for respect checking.  

-New special encampment upgrades. One for training a True-Angel in Advanced Obedience to get a critical success bonus to all slave training. If you can somehow manage to train four or more (one for each wing!) you will get a significantly improved version. There's also one for selling your first Slave Princess or higher quality slave via a Fulfil Opportunity or Auction with an even better version if you can sell ten or more such slaves.

-New commission for Horned One female slavers and the Raid Horned One Encampment assignment. 

-New commission for Hakh Dwarven female slavers that will also be used for an upcoming assignment. 

-New pair of commissions for Raid Isolated Human farm. Also used for Human Commoner slaves.

-Three new assignments in the City of Aversol: 

--- A rare one locked behind selling your first Slave Princess with some truly powerful enchanted items available. Also includes the first possibility for a male>sissy transformation that can also happen to your character. 

--- A rare one with patron provided commissioned art with the potential for two different unique slaves. Both of which include new aspects and their own lore pages.

--- An uncommon one using the Asanei Maid commission with a fellow up version of the assignment, and potentially after that a special version dependent on result. 

-Orc Cum Addict crit, Dominator hollowing out, and Babydoll now all remove Cunning. 

-Increased the number of available traits slots that can be gained for everyone.

-Added a specific traits description for cunning bimbos. Also added a description for when you have cunning. 

-Improved the wording for Old Hand as the old one was a bit unclear in exactly what it did. 

-Dominator and Hypnotic are now mutually exclusive for everyone else as they are for you. 

-Adjusted some assignments to better reflect what is involved: Pillow Talk crit: -100g, Shark of the Cards succ: +40g, crit: +80g, Corner of their Own succ: +50g, crit:+100g, Cheap and Cheerful both results now reward gold under a new [?] which are roughly above half what Dance the Night Away rewards.

-Adjusted Shadowplay so now it doesn't affect Catastrophic results. 

-The other participants of the Advanced Dominance Training critical result will no longer gain Submissive if they're already Dominant. 

-Success on Advanced Dominance Training will no longer add or remove traits. Rewritten the result to reflect this including the Submissive You version.

-Supply run can now spend 1,000g. Also now spending more will affect your odds at 200g and above. Those amounts will have a higher rewarded bonus than they did before. 

-Caught up with the outstanding missing commission acknowledgements. Now not just caught up but actually ahead so might have a preview of some upcoming names. 

-Bumped drow encounterable population up by 2% and shadow outcasts down by 2%.

-Upgraded the quality of clothing worn by some of the potential prizes from Sable Masquerade and Sissy Farm. 

-Improved the playable unique Lady Larian's aspect.

-Added Advanced Dominance Training to the Fulfil Opportunities. Also added No Training as a Catastrophic to the Fulfil Opportunity part of Male Perfidity.

-Expanded Severina's lore page. Also fixes for some other Demi-Angel issues when you're playing as her.

-Made another adjustment to owned slaver removal which I hope will make that more stable. 

-Fix for some of the recruitable uniques having their hidden dom/sub value being random rather than being set to better fit their character. 

-Fix for Corrupters not being able to take Pact with Damnation. 

-Fix for Private Dancer showing up in suggestions as a negative. For now it just won't be mentioned in suggestions until I can unify all the old suggestion mechanics into a better unified system. 

-Fix for Shark of the Cards only giving assignments on the success and not on the critical.

-Fix for an issue with Green Wooden Door that had knock on effects to some of the other fulfil opportunity assignments like Male Perfidity. 

-Fix for the Cult Vessel unique start not having his aspect counting towards the five limit total. Accompanying characters will no longer benefit from his Prophecy.

-Fix for both names not being listed on accompanying characters when there's two of them. 

-Fix for Witch-Queen not needing the 350g minimum spend, and now slavers should not level up on the first two stages.

-Fix for the other Callers you can get from Deluge of Oozes not getting all the right bonus traits.

-Fix for being able to keep assigning a slave with Slave Driver/Strict Supervision.

-Fix for the BEvening bug, and with it now there should be more variation when slaves swear by something during sex text. 

-Fix for you not getting the events with the Tentacle Armour or QAYL plugs. 

-Fix for one of the possible slaver objects missing the options for dismissing, hiring, and enslaving. 

-Fix this time for sure (I hope...) for the Dance the Night Away CT error.

-Fix for conjured companions and the tentacle armour inflicting job skill penalties.
