ALPHA 0.7.3: Sunkisses


This is a straightforward update that adds events, addresses some balance issues, and fixes bugs. As such, I expect it to be a straight line improvement in terms of stability over 0.7.2. If you're an occasional player who prefers to wait for relatively stable versions, this should be a good one to play.

Download: DropboxMegaSaves from previous versions are incompatible, but 0.7+ saves are eligible for New Game Plus. Latest hotfix is 0.7.3.2 (1540 PST 14 June), completely save compatible. Fixed issues include:
  • Chastity belts should no longer prevent kissing.
  • Numerous nonfatal slave generation bugs.
  • Unhappiness about contraceptives due to undiscovered pregnancy fetish.
  • Snuggle event cash bug.
  • Several nonconformist event issues.
  • Typographical errors.
0.7.3.2 also unlocks an event that wasn't ready in time for the main update.

0.7.3 Changelog

Appearance improvements
  • Added various minor skin distinctions, including birthmarks, beauty marks, and two levels of freckles.
  • Freckles slightly improve attractiveness if a slave's skin is fair or pale, and slightly improve it again if her hair is also red.
  • Beauty marks add to attractiveness if a slave's face is very beautiful, but detract from it if she is merely pretty or below.
  • Birthmarks add to attractiveness if a slave is prestigious, but detract from it is she is not.
  • Beauty marks and birthmarks can be removed in the Salon.
  • Skin distinctions can be added to starting slaves from the additional customization options menu.
Asset attractiveness rebalance
  • Transformation Fetishist and Asset Expansionist arcologies will use the preexisting T&A attractivness curve: diminishing returns for larger assets.
  • Slimness Enthusiast arcologies will use a new T&A attractiveness curve that heavily rewards small assets, offers minimal rewards for moderate assets, and penalizes large assets.
  • All other arcologies will use a new T&A attractiveness curve that rewards moderate asset sizes more generously, diminishing to no marginal increase at supermassive sizes.
  • There's been some confusion about exactly what this means, so here's a helpful infographic:

Event updates
  • Generic threesome event for two slaves with big tits, which can be used to pair them into a relationship.
  • Added a fairly generic massage event with the game's first nested event options.
  • Slaves with better sex skills than the Head Girl can now suggest themselves as a replacement for her in an event.
  • New future society event involving a nonconforming oligarch, with a version for each FS. PCs with the Force customization choice get an advantageous way to resolve the dilemma.
  • Added nested event options to a couple of preexisting events.
Other changes
  • New personal assistant skin: a fertility goddess type, contributed by an anon I'll credit as soon as they give me permission to do so.
  • The personal assistant will sometimes alter her appearance slightly to follow societal choices.
  • If a slave for whom a wedding is planned is somehow lost, the wedding will be canceled and the costs refunded.
  • Small descriptive expansions.
  • Minor encyclopedia updates.
  • Bugfixes.
