Another hectic month draws to a close and it's time for another progress report. This one will focus mainly on Samara and some of my notes and thoughts going into the upcoming build.

I put my idle thoughts and ramblings at the end since it'll be less structured then the main topics, so let's get into it.

While working on Samara's animations and translating what needed adjustment for her from the original combat system, I got to the task of The Obelisk statue she could summon with Lilith's Brand.

I initially planned to just translate it over 1-to-1 since I hadn't thought about it too deeply until it came time to actually work on it. I changed my mind when I considered giving the statue itself a bit more personality.

From then on I decided to just make The Obelisk an actual NPC that Samara calls to battle for a short time.

Obelisk isn't counted among your party like The Articulate fighter is, although she'll still provide healing and additional damage like before, leaving the battlefield after a few turns.

Obelisk is one of Lilith's most trusted Succubi, entrusted with keeping an eye on Samara from afar with a mischievous nature.

Another small change is to the cum variants of sex attacks in battles.

Now instead of only appearing when the character is Off Balance, if they're Cum Drenched or recently came in, the animation will use the cum version at the start.

This example animation leads me into some details about Samara as well.

So first off, Samara has taken the most time out of the characters and enemies because she's essentially 3 characters in one. Her base form, Serferus form and Articulate Summon.

A unique trait of Samara's transformation that sets her apart from Brigit's transformation is the sexual nature of it.

Brigit is immune to sexual advances in her Flame Lord form but Samara can fully engage in sex in either of her forms.

Even if Samara faints in her Serferus Form, she always remain in that state even when revived. The form only ends after battle or if you manually end the transformation. While she doesn't have Brigit's raw damage, Samara can stay in that form for the entire fight.

It trades off a lower defense and higher sensetivity to sexual advances in exchange for more Power, Evasion and higher stats. Enemies can also become horny at the sight of her in that form as well.

Working on Samara's spell casting animations has honestly been a blast, plus all the extra jiggle.

Now onto the next build, because it has been awhile and I wanted the next build to be up to parity with the content of the game before the change. I believe I've settled on a good middle ground.

So currently I'm working out a few small visual oddities caused by the code with Samara being the first near complete additional character in the game in this system. What I'm planning to do is setup up the next build soon to contain Samara completed with Journey for testing.

This will help me catch any errors that might slip by so I can correct them for Dr.Midday and Treu together. In this same build will be the missing content, subjugations, bounties and the 2nd floor. Leaving out only Treu and The Doctor shortly.

This will give me the time to focus and re-add missing enemies like the Dithonion.

Something I've been thinking about is what kind of scenes would be fun to add in Lilith's Castle. These are mostly thoughts I've put aside until Brigit, Saki, my buddy Bazooka's Grace and the 2nd guest character are added together.

I've got this milestone set in my mind that once they're in, then I can comfortably consider those extra scenes since the dungeon and story is the main focus. Saki is also a guaranteed party member that joins after an event in the next main story segment.

Some rough ideas I've had floating around are a BDSM resistance challenge, the classic hentai hole in the wall, bartending in the club Hacer guards and some guys that just want to flirt and have a good time, just to name a few.

Anyway that's all the extra thoughts I have to share for now!

Once I've fixed these remaining bugs I should have another Progress update closer to the next build. I expect to detail the new enemies and restored content that's mostly held up by them.

So until then, take care and thank you sincerely for your support everyone!
