So…I’m still here…

Posted on by NivallaCat

I have an ongoing internal debate warring inside me and it has been going on for a while. Let’s just say I may or may not have carried on working on a much tighter more streamlined interactive text experience with a ton of new, juicy content and functionality. The legend of Lustroso in theory lives on and much tinkering has been done to create quite a saucy little game engine. The question is, am I brave enough to share it?

We shall see…

End of the Road

Posted on by NivallaCat

Hi everyone,

I made big plans for this solo project, but unfortunately, a few major things have happened in my life and I’m no longer able to commit the time and energy needed to pursue it. This blog website will remain for historical purposes.

Thank you to the few who’ve actively supported me. Any patrons I have will be refunded within the next 5-7 days. Despite my best efforts, I don’t feel I’ve managed to produce enough quality content to accept the contributions.

All the best,

NivallaCat

Seeking Lustroso v0.1.22

Posted on by NivallaCat

Woo! Version 0.1.22 of Seeking Lustroso is now available to download from my Patreon page for ‘Explorers’ and above! ‘Seekers’ will have access from Thursday due to the late weekend release (and some annoying bugs I can’t bear for them to suffer much longer). Public/free players will be able to download v0.1.22 from the download page on April 1st. (Seriously!)

Major changes include a complete overhaul of all content to allow players to change character viewpoint at will between the male and female characters, implementation of a clothing and wardrobe system in preparation for the clothes that will come in future, and a barbers and salon so players can start tweaking their look post-character creation. More tweaking to come.

Enjoy! :3

Full Release Notes:

  • Added an ‘UPDATES’ page (accessed via game ‘ctrl’ menu) so players can trigger the update of any game code that couldn’t be done automatically for savegame compatibility reasons.
  • !NOTE! – The next update WILL have more sex!
  • rewrote the main intro because sex is fun. Don’t worry if you’ve already started the game and missed it. The next update will have an experience minigame inspired by it.
  • BIG M/F viewpoint code update. You can now change which character you’re reading as whenever you like using the ‘Character Info’ page accessed via the ‘ctrl’ game menu. Content throughout has been improved in light of this. If playing with a savegame from v0.1.2 you will need to restart with a new game. This was stated in the previous release. Going forward there is a framework in place to help savegames stay compatible.
  • Implemented a wardrobe system + added starter clothes. More clothing options to come. Once a clothing item is obtained it will be unlocked for both characters and will stay visible in your wardrobe until you “donate” it. This is the current nature of the system. Further changes are a low priority.
  • Added side quest for unlocking the food vendors rare stock.
  • The quest log is now properly implemented.
  • Updated various passages/scenes to reference clothing
  • Developed London a bit more to include a barbers and a hair salon.
  • Fixed glitch where you couldn’t properly exit your tent in camp.
  • Fixed inventory bug where game wasn’t properly checking for inventory items to trigger actions/events.
  • Tweaked themes: made backgrounds less transparent, adjusted button colours
  • Various smaller fixes, tweaks and improvements.

Seeking Lustroso v0.1.21

Posted on by NivallaCat

Good news! Version 0.1.21 of Seeking Lustroso is now available to download from the download page. This is mostly a version that improves the overall functionality of the game and addresses a bunch of bugs in preparation for adding more content. Full release notes below. Enjoy! :3

Seeking Lustroso v0.1.21 Release Notes:

  • Fixed ‘Playtime’ in the bedroom.
  • Reduced game intro text. Additional lore/story info can be read by booting up the computer in the villa’s study.
  • Improved navigation in “open-world” areas using compass WASD keybindings plus ‘X’ to return to vehicle.
  • Adjusted character creation to prevent weird hair combos early in the game. Don’t worry more custom hair options will be implemented later.
  • Added a mirror special ability for completing the jungle exploration.
  • You can now make your hair tidy or untidy when using the phone’s selfie cam or mirrors.
  • Added groundwork for upcoming changing viewpoint function, but this is NOT an active function yet. The new ‘New Game’ gender buttons will prep things behind the scenes.
  • Improved appearance of buttons + added button colour options to settings.
  • Added groundwork for a quest-log accessible via in-game phone and other in-game devices.
  • Moved main quest chapter menu to villa study.
  • Fix: Character creation textboxes are now activated with buttons to prevent reset of choices if you want to edit one or two things after checking characters.
  • Fix: Female no longer comments on what’s going on with the male’s balls during sex if she can’t see them.
  • Fix: Opening the in-game phone no longer makes navigation buttons disappear.
  • Removed emergency back-up function – it was getting increasingly likely to create glitches rather than solve them given the evolving code.
  • Implemented a system to help prevent saves from previous versions breaking the game (takes the place of the emergency back-up). Sorry, this won’t work with saves from v0.1.2, but saves from v0.1.21 onwards should work with future versions unless I say otherwise. Every effort will be made to maintain savegame compatibility, but please keep in mind the game is in alpha.
  • Fixed minor stuff e.g. typos, formatting, shifting content, broken code fragments, weird word combos coughed up from my random word database, etc.
  • Additional Keybind Changes:
    ‘-‘ = move backwards a passage (actions are undone)
    ‘+’ = move forwards a passage (after going backwards)
    Ctrl = toggle left sidebar menu
    Esc = close open dialogue windows


Fixes Inbound

Posted on by NivallaCat

I’m hoping to release a fix (v0.1.21) in time for the weekend. I wish I could say ‘hotfix’ on this occasion, but juggling other commitments, etc.

Improvements will include:
– better navigation outside of buildings for better flow (e.g. compass directions in the market area.
– fixed in-game phone which will no longer make navigation buttons vanish on occasion.
– different keybindings for moving forwards and backwards between passages to avoid conflicts with web browser shortcuts (i.e. if you want to undo an action or step then redo it).
-tweaks to character creation to make it easier to make slight adjustments to characters after checking them without having to input typed data all over again.
– other more minor bits and bobs updated to be less annoying.

Early development information on the next content update (v0.1.3) will be in a patron-only post.

In other news, I attempted to host the game online with a view to have a playable online version embedded in this website, but so far that particular host has it’s own save-game/restore code in place that conflicts with how my game’s JavaScript runs, thereby breaking the game. I will explore another option over the weekend.

That’s it for now.
