AW Update - June 30th 2022


Hello everyone, I thought I'd try this update business. Gotta start somewhere, right?

It's hard to get started, especially when you're already busy. We've all gone our separate ways this month in terms of what we're working on. Anenn has been working on retrofitting job content for futas, and adding a couple more events to the stripper job, but soon he'll start working on the various kink versions of some new sex actions. Besty has been working on the sex system a lot, getting things working better for the most part, but improving futa and lesbian scene support. I've been working on NPC pregnancy, getting notified if it's yours (or they want you to think it is) and more. 

In other news, the animal shelter keeps getting brought up... we might try and finish that up. It's not really our thing, but it seems like a decent number of people like it.

Most interesting thing in AW I think is that now NPCs will inseminate each other on a daily basis. This will lead to some getting pregnant, which will be a new thing for AW. Generally while it's presumed that a solid portion of the population is in some stage of pregnancy, we haven't really shown it with interactable NPCs. It's set up so that you can adjust the rate or disable altogether in the settings.

We need to figure out the best way to show pregnancies on these NPCs, especially ones that you're dating/friends with. After-birth scenes should be fun too, but are a lot of work, just like scenes where the NPC informs you of a pregnancy. At least some of this will make it into the 1.05 release.

That's it for now, happy fapping!

The Donor Release - v1.04

 

This is an extraction nurse at the EverHope clinic. It's her job to help extract those sperm donations!

Whew!

It's been a rough month, but we're finally here with the release. We've still got a ways to go, of course, but the adding futa players to the game is coming along quite nicely. Three jobs have been converted to support futa characters, female NPCs now use birth control (or not), and NPCs now have an opinion about whether you should use a condom, pull out, or creampie them. We've also got futa cheats in the game now, so you can adjust your male assets with those, or even convert from futa to female or back.

For 1.05 we're going to keep working on the sex scenes, particularly making sure the right sort of text is displayed, but also some general things like making sure NPCs choose sex positions that are relevant to them, and NPCs getting angry when you finish before they do. We'll also work on converting more jobs to support futa characters, as well as adding more support for NPCs that you've gotten pregnant. In my new series of shorter blog posts this month, I'll try to make a "to do" list for you, and I also want to discuss the difficulties with Russia, and how it's impacting our team.

So much has been happening these last few months... I hope it calms down a little! Half my house was rendered mostly unusable due to flooding, but I think we'll be able to start using it again in July... I'm really looking forward to that. 

Thanks so much for all your continued support, especially with all the madness lately. It'd be hard to overstate just how much it means to us

Change Log

Words: 2,784,114 (19,279,718 characters)
Code: 152,454 lines of TypeScript
Images: 3,450
Save Compatibility: Large data changes mean older saves are not compatible (sorry).

in no particular order as usual... lol
  • Fap difficulty will no longer get a brain damage bad end.
  • Relationship time limits have been drastically reduced.
    • While the original time limits were based on some sort of minimal realism, with marriage happening in just over half a year, this just wasn't that much fun for most of you.
    • Time requirement for each stage of relationship progression has been cut in half.
  • The NPC editor in the cheats menu has new relationship functionality.
    • Allows you to forcefully set your relationship status with a given NPC up to the "engaged" level, as well as friendship.
    • Normal use works fine, but the tool can cause bugs if misused. 
  • New "Appletree Bee" story appears in the "Read Something" content.
    • Involves an extraction nurse at the EverHope Clinic.
  • NPC class/data restructuring for status and birthcon class. This is part of changes to allow use of birth control, and interaction with it, as well as some general improvements and new methods. Some new code requires new NPC generation.
    • Breaks old saves, sorry.
    • New tracking setup for the player's kids they've birthed.
  • NPCs now can use hormonal birth control, and IUD use is now functional.
    • Use of IUDs is strongly tied to the NPC's personality, overall percentage is low.
    • Hormonal birth control use is partly based on personality, and partly on random chance.
      • Rates of birth control are a modification of rates currently found in the US.
      • Less than 25% of NPCs will use non-condom birth control.
    • In place but not usable yet: sabotage hormonal birth control, ask NPC to stop/start birth control.
    • Effectiveness of birth control mirrors existing PC items like patch, pill, and implant. Some NPCs use "homeopathic" birth control pills.
      • Homeopathic birth control is of course completely ineffective.
      • Rate of "special full-strength" pill use is low.
  • The NPC Census available at the university is now fully functional (broken education statuses fixed).
  • Much expanded set of item cheats.
    • A much larger percentage of the game's consumables can be added to the inventory now.
  • New futa cheats tab in the cheats menu.
    • Allows you to adjust most of the futa-specific character items.
      • Descriptive items like circumcision status and scrotum looseness.
      • Penis length
      • Penis girth
      • Testicle quantity
      • Testicle volume
      • Futanari mutations
    • Conversion cheats to either become a futa or stop being one.
      • These are more complex, and while they have been tested at a basic level, there may be unexpected interactions. (e.g. your NPC lover is not okay with you being a futa, but you're past the point where the relationship would have ended.)
      • When reporting any bugs that occur after using, please include the information about using the conversion and when.
  • Wearing condoms as a futa character is now available.
    • Works with both normal and sabotaged condoms.
  • NPCs can ask you to use a condom (or ask that you don't use one).
    • The NPC's decision in this regard is determined by many factors such as:
      • Whether they are using birth control.
      • Their personality and having certain kinks
      • The relative safety of the time in their menstrual cycle
      • How much they love you (and therefore want your baby).
    • If you cum inside an NPC when they wanted a condom, they can get angry.
    • Likewise, if you pull out and they wanted you to creampie them, they can get upset with you.
    • You can ask the NPC whether they want a condom or not, or just ignore the topic altogether.
    • There are still a few kinks to work out in regard to the NPC AI and doing things counter to their wishes. (Starting sex without a condom, for example, seems to happen in certain circumstances. In that case, just change position and put one on... or don't.)
  • A lot of texts and options in the sex system were changed to accommodate a futa player character.
    • Orgasm texts should be coming in the next release, but so far it's a lot more relevant to being a futa, less text from an incorrect perspective.
  • Fixes/improvements to problems with the futa reveal and lube use from earlier releases.
  • Some jobs have been gone over and expanded so that they recognize and utilize futa characters.
    • No futa-only events yet.
    • Hucow Farmhand job is futa compatible.
    • Institute Services Division is futa compatible.
    • Mostly consists of action variations and changes to dialog so your cock doesn't seem out of place (and maybe gets a little use, too).
  • The job selection page "job info list" has been updated with new character counts. The information now includes which jobs are futa compatible.
  • New sex library additions for the sex scene system.
    • A full set of kink specific text for the speed up and slow down actions.
    • Some more text for certain areas it was needed.
  • Tweaks, fixing, and tests of the birthing scene stuff to make sure it works.
  • The usual various bug fixes.

Sexy Nurse Update

 



Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've done a general status update. I kind-of miss them, but at the same time, I also realize that there isn't much "new" to talk about in them. I do miss the ability to keep everyone up-to-date on what we're working on, and the current craziness going on with the AW dev team. I think because I got used to writing massive update posts that explained how systems worked and the ideas/concepts behind them, writing a small post felt underwhelming, and I wasn't sure what to write.

It's high time I got over that! So I'm going to try and write more short updates, only a couple paragraphs, and probably with just a standardized post image that I'll reuse for updates (as fun as it is, it does take up time to make post images). I will continue to make custom images for each version release... I'm not willing to give that up yet! :D

And now for the elephant in the room... the release delay. For those that aren't aware, I always post the release date for the next version on the "Upcoming Releases" page the same day we have a release. I feel that having a firm target/deadline that we're publicly accountable for has helped us stick to a solid schedule over the years, even if it usually just amounts to "the Saturday of the first full week of the month". I've never liked lackadaisical release schedules where you either don't know when the next release will be, or you never know how many delays there will be to the planned date.

In any case, for this release I was already worried that we might not make our planned release date, so I left a note on our upcoming releases page that there might be a delay. Basically because Besty and I are continuing work on the sex system this month with the more complex items, and we already had something of a mad rush to hit our 1.03 deadline due to integrating our work, testing, and debugging before the release.

But then my wife gave me covid, which put me out of action for nearly two weeks, despite being fully vaccinated and taking the Paxlovid antiviral treatment. To be honest, I'm still not back at 100%, but I'm doing well enough to get back to work. While it sucks that I didn't get to be part of the crowd with a 1 week duration, I'm mostly just happy that I didn't develop any severe complications. Due to my lung issues from my time in the military, I'm part of the group that's more susceptible to developing severe covid... so I'll just be happy with what I got!

So basically, we have a lot of catching up to do. It'll be a very tight squeeze to hit the June 11th deadline, but we'll do our best!

Thanks for your patience, and double thanks for supporting Accidental Woman!
