A new month, a new monthly public update. This time with the swamp dungeon (vines, alraunes, slimes), a provision rework, and the church building.

Provision Rework:

To make consumables actually worth using, the game now changes how consumables are bought. Each day you get provision points with which you can buy provisions. Since they are fully reset daily, there's no reason not to spend them. Since the provisions don't earn you anything, you might as well use them when a squad of ratkin lancers fuck over your party (unless you throw them away for precious loot of course).

Church (Uncursing/Saving):

Since the beginning people have asked to be able to uncurse equipped items. After a while, and when trying to get infinite cursed items, it may become somewhat of a chore. The answer then is to allow uncursing gear, but just make it too expensive for non late game guilds. The cost of uncursing depends on the rarity of the item, and whether you want to be able to keep the item after uncursing or not. Additionally, there's now a way to have one singular save using the church. It is expensive, and meant to be done when you have a full fledged guild and want to start experimenting.

Swamp Dungeons and the Pet class:

As always, the public release means that a dungeon type is completed. This time it's the swamp dungeon. I also added support for animated body parts (frame animated, not cutout animated as it was until now).

This dungeon contains slimes:

Vines (who are animated, see https://twitter.com/i/status/1745781400458916059):

And plants (who have a grapple, see https://twitter.com/i/status/1746591251904749630):

Pet Class:

The dungeon also comes with a complementary pet class. This class can't wear underwear or outfits, but is a very good girl.

MacOS

The game now also works on Mac. It wasn't that hard to export it in the end, the main problem was that the Godot compatibility renderer would cause crashes on Mac. Changing the renderer fixed that. Neat.

Translations

The downloads now include translations in Korean (by SpeciaLee), Simplified Chinese (by Roland3), and Traditional Chinese (by Fishplate). There's also a partial German translation by 15Nova22 included.

Modding Support:

I reworked the way that data gets imported into the game. This also meant that modders can now use the same data entry system as me, including verifications and hints. There's now also a mod manager in the game.

To start making your own mods, look at the modding guide: https://madodev.itch.io/lewdest-dungeon/devlog/660390/modding-guide-for-v282

And to finish it off, here's a showcase of some nice mods (which you can find on the Discord).

Dollification (Meoaim):

The mod does what it says on the tin, it adds a lot of equipment that turns your adventurers into dolls. It also contains no snakes.

Seedbed Pack (AFKgjiAI):

The Seedbed mod started as a cursed class based on a parasite seedbed. By now it has more classes, a bunch of new equipment, enemies, and the modder is also working on an Alraune class.

Rubber Puppy (FarmThis):

Not all mods need to be expansive, this one just adds a rubber suit for the pet class. It isn't shown here, but it is animated.

Patreon Early Access

As always, Patreons get weekly updates, and have received all the content above already. V2.9 is V2.84 with a bunch of bugfixes. If you don't want to wait until the next monthly update, subscribe on Patreon or Subscribestar.

Map Rework:

Instead of missions appearing random on the map, now completing missions uncovers more of the map. The type and difficulty of the dungeon depends (with still some randomness) on the location of the map. Eventually, the bosses will appear on fixed locations in the map, allowing you to fight your way towards them. There are also some permanent dungeon locations on the edges, so you never run out of dungeons.

Horse Cursed Class:

The next cursed class is the ponygirl. Its equipment is probably already known as being the gear that increases carry capacity (make sure you unequip it before changing to this version!). The horse class itself is defined by having specific stances. The horse starts ambling and has a swift move to swap its stance. You can also whip the horse to get more performance out of her. The class itself isn't that strong, but that is more than compensated by the carry capacity bonus that its gear gives.

Ponygirls can also be put to work in the stagecoach to increase the stats of the incoming adventurers:

I also took that time to create jobs for the other cursed classes. Prisoners provide more provision points by laboring in the farmstead, while puppies scout the land for new missions.

Android Support (HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL):

I recently added Android support, somewhat. The problem with Android is that phones require some UI changes, so I added alternatives for tooltips, removing items, and some other stuff. It's still not perfect, buttons are small and some actions are unintuitive. A lack of signing means that saves between versions might not carry over as well. This is also why it isn't released publicly. 

It also doesn't work on phones with low RAM. Looking at Moncurse (a Godot game with an Android port), it seems that your phone needs 6~8 GB of RAM to run Godot. Which is probably why the game keeps failing on my 2GB shitphone but works fine on other people's phones. Still, be aware that it might not work at all.

Your Preset in the Game:

A couple upgrades ago, I added support for preset adventurers in the game, like Aura and Tomo. I also added the megucas, but would like to have more of them. So I added a new Patreon tier which allows people to create their own preset character. These characters have preset traits, quirks, stats... and will occur randomly in the stagecoach or in curios. Here's an example:

You're also allowed to support it because you like the game very much of course.

What's Next:

We're nearing the end of the Roadmap (https://madodev.itch.io/lewdest-dungeon/devlog/580268/another-roadmap). There's only one dungeon left.

Ruins Dungeons:

The ruins dungeons have orcs, goblins, orcs carrying adventurers, and goblins riding adventurers. The usual stuff you'd expect from those green fellows really.

Final Mechanics:

I'd like to have all mechanics finalized by V3.0, it's possible to stay tinkering with mechanics and adding new stuff, but in the end a game needs to get finished eventually. I still want to add barks and an NG+ system, a decent censorship system (I'd like to release on Steam), a way to disable stuff you don't like, and maybe something I'm forgetting right now. After that, it's time for a new roadmap which will focus around bosses, polishing, and adding more content.
