Update on Redscale's Update (0.27) - Now live

So, what's new?

SexXP: sexual actions now grant sex-based XP, which can take the place of either passing or failing to trigger level ups.
Cum limit: most sexual actions will now deplete your cum, which resets during rest/load, and grows over time as you explore.
Harem: the new harem building will convert your remaining cum into sexXP if you rest at the base it is located in. If you stock it with pawns, you will gain SexXP toward their racial leveling, which can help you work them up.

Silver tier weapons: higher level versions of many weapons in the game, using resources found in the Shadow Woods combined with silver ore (made from coins). Silver tier armors were already in the game for some time.

New verbal combat options: These options change dramatically based on who you are facing and aren't available for all foes.
Parley: attempt to reason with your opponent. May give your foe a free shot, but if they listen you can use your choice from six random Arguments drawn from your pool to persuade them away from fighting, and toward fleeing, joining you, or having sex instead. By default, you have one Argument for each stat, basically arguing how great you are. Various triggers can enable more arguments. Different foes react differently to different arguments.
Seduce: attempt to get your opponent to fuck. Most foes that agree will stop fighting at that point, or maybe even join.
Distract: A fake Parley attempt which, if successful, gives you a large position bonus but prevents further Parley or Distract attempts.
Surrender: Give yourself over to the enemy's mercy. May cause instant game over, depending on the foe.

Standard Kobolds, Lycans, and Felines have this implemented so far.

New Perks to read your foe's motives: One each under Wisdom, Charisma, Fear, and Fellowship, you need to have some success using Parley before you can unlock them. They let you estimate your progress toward convincing your foe toward various actions, with higher ranks giving more resolution.

Some base defense fights have been shifted to use single combat now, instead of mass combat. For now, use Hoard Guard for single combat, Barracks for mass combat. That is temporary, though.

Assorted other bug fixes, etc.

New combat perks have been added, and a few others rebalanced. Most now either give a +/-10% per rank to two interactions (i.e. 10% more damage, 10% of roll reduces enemy damage, 10% chance to prevent enemy's roll from counting, etc.) or 20% to one. There are ones that boost Maneuver and Defend, respectively, by 10% per rank on four interactions, but I feel this is balanced by the nature of those actions. (Position bonus can be potent, but can potentially disappear without benefit from a bad move next turn. And healing converts energy to health, which you get for free at the end of the fight anyways, and may cap at your max health anyways.) Each standard combat action now has two to boost it that apply to single combat, one under each offensive stat. Some still have mass-combat only perks as well.

So all in all...how long is this gonna take? And what about further progression? Will a saved file from the old version still work?

I am time-boxing it to April. So next update will be April 29th or possibly sooner. (If need be I can temporarily cut out some of the extra sex scenes, and add them in May.)

Save files from old versions still work. Someday I may break compatibility but not this time.

Further progression is something I need to focus on for the next major update.

Cool! I look forward to it! But possible...email me the updated file? I play and load everything offline since internet access at home is an issue for me.

Sounds good to me!

Awesome! More content means more fun! And more time that I get to eat!

The update is looking great, Istaran!
I'm not sure if you could easily do so, but it would be amazing if in a future update the main text box had an optional scroll bar (more specifically, scroll buttons). If I'm on mobile I can't click and drag or scroll, so I can't read anything that overflows the text box size.
Thanks again for all your hard work on this game

I get an Error#1009 while trying to fuck a feline female forger at dragon home.

I don't know if this is related, but I can't add her to my dragon home harem because I "haven't sleep with her", which I can tell you, isn't the case.

Hi there. Thanks for the bug reports!
Error 1009 - Found the issue, fixed in 0.27.1. My fault for only testing through the View Pawns button, as the base version still was costing energy, as well breaking if it gives sexXP
Felines - I had set things up to continue counting pawns as 'virgins' if there was no difference in their reactions between virgin/non. I figured I may someday add a distinction and don't want to cost you the chance to experience both versions. (Kobolds and lycans have distinctions, obviously.) However, since it matters for harem, I need to go ahead and track it regardless. Thanks for the heads up!

Unrelated note, a few years ago, I made an icon set for an online text based RPG. The set largely focuses on the items found in said game, I made it to make it easier to find specific items menus. The license included only specifies permission to use it for with that game, but if you can find use for it, you have my permission to do so.

The icons themselves are 16x16 pixels, but for an aesthetic reasons that never came to pass, they all have an additional blank row and column. Making each of the files 17x17 pixels.

The bulk of the icons are in langbrakerproject\final icons, and a preview of most of the icons can be found in the RPG project folder.

The icons can be found here.

I too get an Error#1009, although for me it's when I try to fuck a member of my harem.

Oh good, it's not just me. I was worried I was getting error#1009 because I was repeatedly hacking my save file. To give myself several million copper coins.

What tool do you use to tinker with saves?

Frhed

Be warned however. If you don't know how hexadecimal vaules work, you can break your save file, and the game will auto-delete corrupted .sol files upon trying to load them.

I have encountered my bane, Error #1009, once again. This time it's showing up when I try to add a forager in the Hunter's Garden to my party. Just so ya know. But otherwise I am greatly enjoying the new update, so great job!

I absolutely love this update. As a switch I can enjoy being more submissive at times and dom depending on how I'm feeling. I love it!

Great! Redscale can now be played as a switch. :)

As of this second, no.
I'd like to get back into it, and I keep thinking about it, but I'm barely keeping up with Friendship Materia, and not making progress on any of my other personal projects at the moment. Work and home are both draining my time, energy and mind to the point that I don't have enough left over.
For now.
That said, assuming I can get traction again, probably the first you'll hear of it is a new update.
