House of Hellish Harlots - update 17th May '20
🕑 Added 2020-05-17 22:27:48 +0000 UTCA quick update as I'm currently still battling through the later stages of getting the next release ready. I decided I wanted to have the repeat visit functionality for the three harlots in this release. While tweaking the scenarios for the subsequent visits, I saw an option to change the scenes slightly (similar to what I did with Anna Boa) and decided it was worth the extra work and slight delay.
My thoughts on repeat visits have changed from them being a minor part of the game to being something that opens up a lot of interesting new options in terms of character development and side quests. Originally I was thinking the game would need about a hundred harlots and that would mean fairly basic scenarios for each. However, it's the number of harlot *scenarios* that are important. One harlot could fulfil the role of three if revisited three times, with a different scene each time. I like this idea as it allows me to give some harlots more depth and let the game be more than "survive 13 random monster girls, escape."
I've added this for Va-kyuuma and Calliophi (the latter more than a former).
Baloobia is the culprit to blame for me not having the release ready today (and me also not having as much time as I thought over the weekend). While tweaking her dialogue for a second visit, I saw an option to have her base scenario play out differently and satisfy 2 types of monster girl fan - the type that likes their monster girls aggressive and vore-y, and the type that prefers them to be more gentle and sensual. Getting a two-for from one character is too good of an opportunity, although please accept my apologies for it being a little later than planned. I just get carried away sometimes!
I was hoping to have everything done today and then tested and released tomorrow. The weekend wasn't as productive as I'd have liked, so that might push the release to Tuesday if I find I need to fix more bugs than expected. Again later than planned, but it will be their full scenarios rather than just the base scenarios.
Because I've been focused on this, I haven't been able to respond to some messages. As soon as the release is out I will catch up on those before beginning on the next segment.
Thanks for your patience and support!

I'm looking to follow the route Fenoxo took with Corruption of Champions. That started as a text web game. As more people got interested, some people started drawing fan art of their favourite character and the good pics were incorporated in the game (and the sci-fi one as well). I want to get the proper demo in place and up on a website somewhere. Hopefully it will inspire some art and then I can start the ball rolling from there (by commissioning more from the artists I or patrons like). I definitely think being able to show a pic of the girl during her introduction would help a lot.

I think the way he is doing it right now is completely fine. One or two releases a month are more than enough. After all, we are only paying 1$ per month. I would pay more, but there are no tiers for it. So... Besides that, the reason as to why his stories are so good is especially because of the world building. SS is as good as it is due to the world around it. Not just the sexy stuff.

Is it possible that you are getting distracted by minor details at the cost of what is really important? (the story). I know that My opinion is only one of many and that you have personal ambitions that are probably the very things that keep you motivated. But for what my opinion is worth. I couldn't care less about repeat visits, status ailments Game environments I just want to read sexy succubus stories. You are a very talented author my friend and I fear that you are loosing sight of that beneath a mountain of distracting coding issues. It's clear that this game is something you want to do and I fully respect that but I truely believe that keeping it simple is the best way forward and that the "survive 13 succubi and escape" is, in fact the beter option. Baby steps my friend. Walk first, run second :-)

Does anyone think that it would be cost effective to get limited artistry, such as the intros for the girls, but not the lewd scenes? Would it benefit the game or might it detract as it would fill in the gap the imagination fills? I personally like the artistry you had previously hired for succubi like Rose, Verde, and the second Nyte (non-thicc) rendition.

Glad to see your still plodding along. I hope for your thoughts on my ramblings about the setting I thought of soonish.

As a patreon subscriber I am really happy with the amount of content you release. Of course I am still curiously waiting for the new releases but your posting and release frequency are the thing that keep me calm in all those time waiting. I really appreciate, that you gave your self the rule to update us every week. it's interesting to see your developement process and honestly inspires me far more then "just" a monthly game update. I am honestly really really thrilled to see your game grow and get a larger audience. You deserve it so much. Thanks for the Update! And dont worry about the delay. Im thrilled to see the new Harolds.
