Progress Report: Customization/Censorship, Android and Dynamic Missions
Censorship/Customization
Customization
With the addition of the Orcs and Goblins, some people have noted that they'd prefer to remove them. The game now allows you to disable some specific content. This will replace certain enemies with other ones or change the behaviour of things. This should help people who'd prefer the game to stay fully yuri.
This system is also fully moddable, in case you have a fear of spidergirls or something.
Steam
I would like to release the game on Steam eventually. However, adult games aren't allowed on the German, Chinese, and Brazil versions of Steam. Even worse, most people don't even know this is the case, so won't invest in a VPN. The simplest solution is to created a censored Steam version, and host an uncensor patch somewhere else.
Censorship for Steam is a bit more involved than all the previous customizations. It removes the ability to remove underwear, removes all combat cutins, and most grapples. This alongside of minor tweaks like letting Slimes wear raincoats. If you're reading this, it won't really affect you, since you should easily find the uncensor patch. Though I'm warning in advance that the next public release will be this censored version (except for backers of course) to force you all to test it (with an uncensor patch released somewhat later).
As a benefit though, it finally got me to draw all underwear textures for the pet class, which means she no longer is forced to be naked all the time.
Dynamic Quests
The current quests system is a bit of a dud. It was added without sufficient content behind it, so isn't really used a lot. I have fully removed it. Instead there are new dynamic quests
The left side is for the main mission tree, which will be added next week.
The quests give you a new resource named favor, which can be spent on repeatable guild upgrades, special upgrades, and the church facilities.
Android
The Android version is getting there. The first experimental version has had some extra buttons added, and some extra functionality to account for the lack of keyboard:
I've also figured out how the signing works. So next public release will include an Android version (you can play it through Patreon/Subscribestar already though).
Next
I still want to add the main missions, barks, rework dungeon effects, and an NG+ system.
After that, we're leaving the alpha for the beta, and no new mechanics will be added. Then it's time for polishing what exists and adding more content (enemies, gear, encounters, curios, etc...).

Release a censored version of game and post the nsfw patch on somewhere(like here) else may be a good idea
You could do this on Steam
Erotic version
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1964360/?snr=1_5_9__205
Safe version
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1930600/?snr=1_5_9__205
This may make some things easier.
edit
With it this way, you can create the steam pages to properly show the game. The above game they made two different companies. I have seen games where they did it as the same company.
Porny Vampire Survivors? Nice ๐๐๐ผ
You want test ideas for steam release here? One, thanks for the advance warning. I more focused on the combat mechanic anyway, although the sexy part is just the icing on the cake. Two, copy that, and be ready for whatever blowback incoming, and I'll get this on my wishlist and somehow get the funds to buy. I not get much ideas of the concept getting one strong person use another person like people typically use for cock sock/sleeve, but that does sounds interesting.
Instead of Steam have you thought about releasing on GOG?
The point of releasing on Steam is the large audience and discoverability that Steam brings. If it were just about releasing the game I'd release only here on Itch.
(there will be an Itch version)
I would like to know why did you decide to put on-screen arrows instead of making the character walk to where you are pointing with the finger (other Android ports do this).
I will still test it in my crappy tablet tho ๐
It does both. The arrows are in case you need more fine grained control.
Hey I really don't think creating a censored version of the game is simpler than just using a vpn lol, if it will slow down the content updates it might backfire on your patreon fans and if it doesn't slow down content updates it will backfire on your health since it would mean you overwork yourself to keep up, All in all I do not think creating more work for yourself is the best option.
Censored version is already done though. Took less than a week.
The main problem with the VPN stuff is that Germans have no idea that Steam is banning 18+ releases for them, so they won't think to use a VPN.
Probably Brazilians don't know either, as i live next to Brazil and have never heard of this before.
I also tried to find more information but couldn't find anything, so maybe it got added recently to that list of countries (recently as in this year).
Oh I thought you meant that you didn't want to invest in using a vpn and would rather make a censored version, but what you meant is that you want your game to be seen by everyone and thats why you made the censored version. Me dumb
Steam sadly can't be tricked by a vpn alone (I'm german, I tried), because they base your location on your payment method as well (don't ask me how, I don't know). So you would have to jump through even more hoops. A censored version with decensor patch is the most comfortable for german users afaik. And I can receive these games as a "gift" from someone.
