Bounty Alpha 3.2

This is just another update with a few additional fixes. It also includes some work I've been doing to bring the settlement encounters up to date with the standards being set by locations and travel encounters. Settlement encounters were the first system to actually be implemented, so this should make things more stable/more reliable. More fixes than listed below exist in this update due to this fact.

The biggest bug fix was something causing the browser version to crash spontaneously on a select number of systems. It took me a while to be able to reproduce it, but I think it's fixed in this version. The solution required the rewrite of the way settlement encounters worked, which I was working on anyway. If anyone uses the browser version and experiences this again, let me know.

This will be the last update until the release this upcoming Saturday night, provided nothing goes horribly wrong.

Like always, you can find the newest release in the Download tab at the top of this page.

Known Issues:


  • I forgot to update the perk description for Succubus, and it does NOT give a point of negotiation, but increases the price of negotiations back to normal

New additions:

  • Additional text added when you give oral while having the perks Titfuck or Deepthroat during encounters, and the occasional stretchy body line for vaginal if roughed up
  • A little bit more text implemented
  • A reader has been added to the options screen to describe what the current value of the rules mean in better detail

Balance changes:


  • Effects of both soap and luxurious soap very slightly increased
  • Negotiation changed for reliability
    • Base negotiation increased by 1
    • Negotiation attempts now cut the amount of money you receive in half
    • Succubus perk changed to increase the amount of money received when negotiating back to the default value.
      • These changes should make negotiating less hit-and-miss early in the game, while maintaining the cash flow from having all of the negotiation perks while accepting only one or two actions
  • The value of selling virginity now increases faster, gaining an additional bonus from vaginal skill accrued from perks (since actual sex levels would have taken it already)
  • Mastery now also immediately increases level by 1
    • This has no direct effect other than increasing the amount of experience required to reach the next level
  • Multipliers tweaked to work better in encounters, potentially modifying how much more/less money is earned from charging higher/lower prices
    • Expensive/cheap options are now multiplicative with other bonuses instead of additive, directly increasing the impact of the Footjob line.

Bug fixes:


  • Fixed a crash that may occur in slaver camps
  • Food won't get stuck after the all-you-can-eat fruit buffet in orchards
  • Versatility and Mastery are now possible to choose as half elf as intended
  • Mastery now actually gives the free perk slots as intended
  • Brothel - Peddle Self brought in line with University - Advertise
  • Some instances of intercourse not taking virginity have been fixed
  • Replaced a function used in encounters that was eating spaces in the exact same place every encounter
    • It took me weeks to find out that a string insert was causing this, when I had just assumed it was a font issue
      • I feel silly
  • Fixed an issue causing the browser version to spontaneously crash after a day or two

  1. Small report:
    - You do not die when your hp reaches 0, and it can in fact go into the negatives.
    - Hygiene also can go into the negatives (in my case it was having it at 0 and finding a bounty hunter and getting the sex event instead of the capture event that made it -4).
    - I haven't found any special text for stretchy body, tho I did find it for paizuris, footjobs and deepthroat (on that note, what exactly is the point of the paizuri perk? does it turn some "inside" oral events into regular ones? or is it simply for flavour?)
    - Playing like 80% the game as a virgin orc and getting vaginal up to 6 (tight pussy, naturally wet, beautiful legs) with price set to expensive gave me 1s 5c for selling her virginity, which is lower than she's getting from regular oral/handjobs at skill 6 and 4 respectively with no perks for oral (and footjob/beautiful feet for handjobs).
    - The last travel trip cost like 4g 5s, I don't really remember if that was so before.
    - Fruit baskets being only one use now seems pretty pointless since they're the equivalent of gaining 1s and you already get around that much from soliciting the woman or working the stables, either as cleaner or as relief.

    1. Whoops, the fix for browser crashes killed the death trigger. I think I've found the culprit, so I'll have that back in shortly! I can get a bit heavy handed sometimes.

      The oral perks do actually change encounters between inside/outside, depending on which perk(s) between the two you have. It's not impossible to swallow with paizuri, nor is it guaranteed with deepthroat. I'm trying to get at least a little bit of perk text in with each update, so that there won't be a major update that's only new feature is perk text.

      I'm investigating the cause of virginity being so cheap. The math says that this character should have sold it for approximately one gold. I'll try to have it figured out soon.

      The final destination travel cost should not have changed, although travel costs in general might be tweaked at some point in the distant future as everything gets fleshed out.

  2. I was hugely vested when you added extra writing for things like Paizuri and DeepThroat, small touches that adds much life to the game !

    As for the Charm and Encounters, I'm thinking that may need another looksee, or a moon/hygiene fix.

    For 2-5 encounters, the numbers were good and I like that Mood and Hygiene modifiers were high, forcing the player to visit different locations frequently to maintain the stat. I was forced to migrate between Temple and City often to juggle Mood and Hygiene Stats, and Port for Soaps. I would vouch for stronger location stat modifiers or even items to boost Mood/Health/Hygiene (like a Novel, Tea, etc)

    Too awesome mate and many comments on other forums too.

    Cheers

    1. Hopefully you'll like some of the newer text coming up!

      I'll definitely be tweaking the location bonuses after tomorrow's update. With the additions of new locations (with stronger bonuses) I'd like to see how things hold up, and then I'll spend most of the week making adjustments to make everything more smooth.
