v0.16 is Live!

Head to the 'Play the Game' tab to check it out!

It feels good to hit the schedule! I would have liked to have gotten it out a little further from the deadline, but with how little time I gave myself from deciding to make this happen, I guess it's not surprising I needed all I could get. I would have really liked to at least fully complete this step in the stone door story --I cannot imagine how many times over the next three months I will have to explain the missing piece-- but I have to accept that a degree of regularity is important, and this this will push me on to set stronger, more solid and more achievable goals for the future.

So! The update's big addition is the second trip through the stone door. Every collar will be able to return to that place, but not every combination of collar and choice from the first visit. Two out of the six possibilities are unavailable for this version. These choices will continue to be important for the rest of the stone door, so if you haven't already, now may be a good time to make some save files following either choice, if you want to see every bit of what's available as it comes out!

The second addition is my mysterious "bonus." I'm pretty pleased to finally include it, and I hope to be adding more in the future. I was actually surprised with how little it increased the game's file size, so that's great. My last hint is that you'll find it early on in the game. Don't worry too much about missing it-- I've added a small system upgrade for making sure experienced players don't miss certain important events in the game :3

I still feel like this update could have done more, been larger, but as I mentioned, it's half the size in new text of the v0.15 update-- but delivered in one quarter the time. That's certainly an improvement, and much more in line with my new resolution to offer smaller, more rapid updates! The next update is scheduled to come out in June, and I hope that with the full three months scheduled out ahead of me, I should be able to pack a lot more in!

I hope you enjoy the new content, everyone, and thanks for playing!

  1. Hey! Been enjoying the new version. Just wanted to let you know of a small bug I found. When I created the blue collar and got the scene of her putting it on, touching the bell, etc... Immediately afterward it replayed the scene where I summoned the couch. Didn't hurt anything, but still weird.

    1. Yeaaahh... I added a little feature for automatically getting the couch when you get a collar, but I goofed and made it trigger even if you already have it xP It's a harmless bug, though, so I'll fix it in a little bit, waiting for any other big bugs to shake out :p

  2. Hey, I'm having difficulty getting the stone door unlocked with Dom! Lith. I've tried almost everything I can think of and the door has yet to appear. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this a bug, as I never have had this much difficulty getting the door option to appear.

    1. Have you collared Lith? There isn't a "dom lith collar," you just choose one of the three and also encourage him to be dominant. After that, it should mainly be a matter of time ^.^;
