Devlog Update: Cosmetics, Body Modification, and Hormone Mechanics
In this update, I’ve integrated a variety of cosmetic options, body modification systems, and the functional effects of hormones. While much of this content is NSFW, I will break down the mechanical changes in detail below.
Cosmetic Additions
The protagonist will find themselves forced into various outfits throughout their journey - many of which are far more compromising than wearing nothing at all. I have added new clothing items, including underwear, latex dresses, and pieces of provocative lingerie.
I also overhauled the underlying clothing layers. The system now dynamically manages visibility, allowing for specific combinations where undergarments are hidden while genitals remain exposed. Implementing this logic was significantly more complex than anticipated, but it ensures visual consistency across all equipment types.
Body Modifications
The Body Modification System is now fully integrated. While I considered allowing the player to simply pay for surgeries at a hospital, that didn't feel right for the lore (the picture above is a placeholder option). The protagonist is a trained agent, not a phuying who is willing to modify their body for attraction - at least, not yet.
To reflect this, major physical changes (such as breast enlargement or genital reassignment) aren't just bought; they are "earned." The protagonist must be systematically "convinced" through repeated mental and physical conditioning before these permanent alterations occur.
Hormone Effects
Hormone side effects are now live. Players will accumulate hormones through various means, whether by unknowingly consuming tainted substances or being forced to take them by NPCs.
The Hormone Effect System governs the consequences:
The Trance: While sleeping after consumption, the player enters a trance-like state, gaining "Hormone XP" based on the dosage.
Permanent Shifts: Upon "leveling up" a hormone tier, the protagonist’s morals and worldviews are permanently altered.
Mechanical Perks: High hormone levels unlock specific behaviors and negate penalties, such as:
Reducing the psychological penalty for exhibitionism.
Unlocking the ability to strip in public areas.
Enabling the consumption of "foreign fluids" found on the body.
Lowering inhibitions toward unlawful or taboo actions.
Miscellaneous Updates
I’ve also implemented several quality-of-life improvements and content additions:
Expanded questlines and dialogue branches.
General graphical polish and shader optimizations.
Enabled Fullscreen Mode for the web build.
Various bug fixes and stability improvements.
Community Poll: Future Reporting Schedule
As the core systems are nearing completion, I’m running out of "general" engine updates to share and the ones left are mostly NSFW. I’m considering changing the frequency of these reports to ensure each one has enough meat on the bones. Please vote for your preferred schedule:
Option A: Major Updates only (whenever a significant milestone is reached until the Open Alpha).
Option B: Bi-weekly updates (every two weeks).
Option C: Maintain the current weekly schedule (shorter, incremental updates).
The patreon devlogs will still have weekly updates regardless of the poll results.
