[Patreon] Build 40 - "Sciurus Metallicum Pt.3"

Howdy, Cadets!

Time for another Friday build!

What's new?

• Adds approximately 3,500 words of new content
• Sciurus Metallicum
  • Adds hyper breast trackers to the test subject system, and allows you to target them with the hyper ray.
  • Added "Contracts" and bad endings for test subjects. There are 15 short endings. Currently, some of the listed endings are not available, since they require the subject to have a hyper cock, which is coming next update. You can click the "Contracts" button while testing to see the requirements for all of these, plus some short context.
• New artwork
  • Added "Pooltoy" and "Tentacle" bad end artwork, drawn by DanFoxx.
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed a bug where you couldn't remove toys from the test subject's mouth.
  • Fixed a bug where items on the test subject's head weren't being removed at the end of the test.
  • Fixed a bug where the test subject's willpower could go into the negative.
  • Fixed a bug where save/load text becomes garbled on mobile.
• Technical
  • Discovered some optimisation tips online and have been implementing them this week. The test subject generation is 9x more performant in this build as a result.
    

Responding to this week's feedback
Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out a form! Your bug reports and suggestions are incredibly valuable; please keep an eye out for your suggestions appearing in the game!

• Mobile/UI issues - Please be aware that the "Settings" menu has a ton of options for changing the UI, like colour, font-size, etc. Your feedback did spur me to look at some new ways of delivering formating on mobile though, and I hope to make it comfier in the coming weeks.
• Gender selector - I do want to add this eventually. It's just a case of re-writing scenes for Female/Intersex main characters. I'll probably do this once the game hits 1.0. In the meantime, the next poll will have a Gender-TF/breeding planet, since female player content has been requested so often.
• Character descriptions - Admittedly a weak point in my writing. I want to revisit some of the current "main" NPCs and give them more personality, proper "Look at" descriptions, etc.
• Add more bad ends where the PC stays cognisant - I agree that this is hot as hell, so expect more soon.
• Guest writing - Thank you all for the generous offers, but I enjoy being the single author/programmer on my projects. I'd encourage you to check out Twine Harlowe though. It's the engine I use for text games, and it's very easy to make things with. With all the suggestions that've come in, I'm very excited to see what you all make!

Next week: Hyper cock content, expanded bad endings, maybe creatures you can spawn in the test chamber (Tentacle beast, Lunisian DreadKnot, etc)! Stay tuned!
