Toys, old and new

This time the devlog comes with a bit of a delay, cause I was away at my parents' place for two weeks - spent some time with family, had a rest, celebrated Easter (its was bit late for us this year xD). In that time, I was doing some management work on the project (like giving assignments to the artist and the writer I commission from xD), but I haven't wrote any code. After this small refreshment, back to the grind I go, so here are the updates.

Items overhaul

As you might remember, one of the milestones for growing content were items. And before adding new ones, I wanted to update those already existing. Currently, there is a mechanic: when you give an item to a girl, there's a chance that she'll try to use it in her next turn. For instance, if you give a fish to a catgirl - she'll eat it. But this mechanic was added just as a proof of concept - actually, only the catgirl had it; so now I'm expanding it on other girls too.

A girl won't use just any item you give her - each specie has their own preferences, which you'll have to discover. As usual, empirical approach is your best friend! You can use this mechanic to your strategic advantage, because girls will spend at least one full turn interacting with the item - so you'll have the priority.

For instance, if you give some sex toy (like a dildo) to a bunny, she'll focus her attention on it, and sooner or later she'll cum even without your help:

Or the phoenixes: remember how they liked scrolls that you gave them? Now they can actually read those! In some cases, they will even cast a spell that is written on the scroll, so be mindful of what scroll you're giving them - as the target for that spell will most definitely be you.

Or, picture angels. Their most dangerous weapons were the lasers they shoot from their eyes, right? What if you gave them something that could affect their vision? They'll hardly see worse, but maybe they'll at least stop doing that laser thingy. This might help you, although out of sight doesn't mean out of mind in this case, so don't expect them to forget about you completely.

There are more interactions for these two girls, but I'm leaving the excersize of finding them all for you, dear reader! Just don't lower your guard, cause as it often happens in this game, something can go wrong... While the girls will appreciate certain items, others can totally ruin their mood, so be mindful of what you're gifting to whom.

New setting: auto-equip toggle

I realized that it is rather hard for a player to give an equippable item to a girl, because such items go straight on you, without getting into your inventory. So, I added a checkbox to the settings menu, which would allow you to decide whether or not you want to equip the item you pick up automatically. It is checked by default to preserve current logic, but if you uncheck it, all the equipment will go to your inventory first, and you'll be able to use it from there (by either wearing, or giving away). Also, yes, with this, the chastity belt will hopefully become less of a nuisance xD

The settings screen is a bit of a mess right now, as it has all kinds of settings smashed together in one place. I'll fix this a little bit later, when there are more features to tune, so that its justified to split them into tabs or something like that.

New zone for the fondling: anus

I also suddenly realized that while you can penetrate the girl's anus, you cannot fondle it! What a blunder! Where would you apply all them new toys then?

This is not a problem anymore, as every girl's anus (except for a spider) is now ready, willing and able to be fondled. In general, compared to a pussy, anus is slightly harder to "hit", but fondling it deals more pleasure.

New items

Of course, just updating old stuff is not enough, there must be something new too! The first batch of new items includes various sex toys. For girls, there are vibrators, butt plugs, anal beads and nipple clamps. You can equip them, and they will be used when you try to fondle a girl, increasing their pleasure. Also, if you transform yourself into a girl, you can play with them yourself!

For boys, there's something that could be put on one's cock: namely a ring and a sleeve. Cock rings do what they usually do: make your erection last longer. But be careful, cause wearing it for too long may cause you some troubles.

By the way, taking the ring off while being all hard and swollen is close to impossible, but since you can cum practically at any time (and get rid of the erection temporarily), this shouldn't be a problem for you.

Now, if your hero is not the smartest one, he might be unable to recognize this item's true purpose. But worry not, its still gonna be put to a good use!

As for penis sleeves (extenders), its all relatively simple: with it your dick becomes bigger, so fitting it in somewhere becomes harder, but if you manage to do that, the amount of pleasure  you give increases (unfortunately, you won't feel much of that pleasure yourself).

In the next updates, you might expect new visuals for the items (as for now there are just placeholders), and also more "interesting" items, which would change the gameplay significantly (not by just tweaking the numbers). So stay tuned!
