It's been a pretty busy month, both for game progress and in general. So for this month's update I'll get into the work so far on primarily Treu, Dr.Midday and an update on the roadmap, so let's start with the roadmap and Treu.

So first off, I've updated the roadmap slightly to reflect a change for the next build.
Besides the story, characters and other restored content.

I'm very excited to finally get my buddy BazookaDre's sexy character Grace into the game as a playable character!

My initial plan was to include her with Saki, Brigit and the 2nd Guest. Now with the process of actually working on new characters outlined after the combat rework I'm comfortable moving her up to join Treu and Dr.Midday in the next update.

Grace is the OC of my good friend BazookaDre and we've talked alot about Grace's background for a long time and how she'll function in game.

Bazooka has also added really interesting details occasionally in the Discord, but to provide an overview myself, Grace has a lot of similarities with Journey's personality, which will also be reflected in-game by Grace not possessing a MIND stat. So just like Journey, this prevents her from fully breaking if she's defeated and dominated often.

In exchange, Grace possesses a breeding curse that will be reflected in special interactions with certain enemies, bosses and Journey in some scenarios if they're paired together.

In terms of combat, Grace will utilize powerful magic to bolster herself and others as well as a agile fighting style with a Rapier and parrying dagger that will grant her a unique riposte evade.

I'll go into more detail as Grace gets closer to a playable state for the next build.

Now I'll go over Treu's progress.

All of Treu's primary combat animations are completed, save only for her remaining sex animations. Between all of the characters thus far, Treu is 2nd in complexity to Samara because of her stance switching.

Treu can freely switch her crystal armament between it's Umbrella and Bow state. Treu's umbrella state gives her primarily AOE group attacks while her bow state is focused on higher single target damage.

For the most part Treu's playstyle is similar to her original version, with more adaptability and POWER efficiency, depending on how many and what type of enemy she's facing.

With Treu's new outfit of course I'll be updating her CGs and other animated sprites. I was also reminded that I forgot to mention in the last update, but Samara has also had her CGs updated so her hair is more accurate and detailed.

This included all of Samara's sprites, splash and h-battle arts, completed.

Now with Treu's main effort animations done, I'm going to get her skills in-game and begin work on Dr.Midday and Grace.

I've also been working on one of the small side encounters in Lilith's castle, involving a game of chess with rewards and punishment for winning or losing.

By the next update post I hope to have enough done that I can show more of the next build and also finally share info on the 2nd guest character joining Saki and Brigit in the later build.

That about covers this update report. As always thank you everyone for your support and most importantly playing the game. I really love the experience of working on Lilith Descent and seeing the characters appreciated, both mine, Ari's and guests in the case of Grace.

And thank you to BazookaDre for offering Grace to join the game and helping me these years!

Until next update, take care.

It's time for the next progress report and thankfully it's been a productive month despite the heat, since the Samara build was released.

For this update I'll be going into detail of what the next larger build will include as a milestone and my progress as of this month so let's get right to it.

One of the more immediate updates was to how baths work in the game.

Originally the baths were only accessible by a single character at a time, the other party members were even coded to leave temporarily if you entered the Western area of the castle.

Now when entering baths, your other party members will appear in the background and gain the *Refreshed* buff alongside you.

The other characters aren't directly controlled by you but they can be interacted with to learn a bit more about them, more in-depth details about their characters they might only be comfortable talking about in the privacy of a bath.

Hot Springs can also now be found randomly within the dungeons, which may prove more useful the longer or more difficult a run becomes.

Now while in the castle, you have a chance to be invaded by Incubi, however if you use the springs in the dungeons, you may encounter either a Water Duress or a group of Kappa.

As your character is gradually dominated in these encounters, your companion(s) will also be ravaged alongside you.

The Water Duress and Kappas function similarly to the Incubi with 2 notable exceptions. The Water Duress can take multiple actions at once which can quickly overwhelm a more sensitive character.

The Kappa also possess a unique grab attack wherein they will forcibly extract an orb from the girls' anus, a Shirikodama.

If a Kappa successfully initiates an extraction, it will instantly drain both Energy and Resolve, causing an orgasm shortly after.

Moving onto the Berserker, I've decided to upgrade him a bit. While before I considered him  an "Elite Enemy", if I had to tier the enemies. The Berserker will now be a roaming Boss, the same type of enemy class as the Dithonion.

He will also appear in the Liminal Dungeons as well and will begin hunting the player should you get close enough to be spotted.

He wanders around the dungeon layout trying to find the player and if you do get spotted he'll appear in the chambers you enter.

I'm considering giving Berserker the ability to randomly take ownership of the floor key.

Now in terms of his new attacks, he'll have a similar moveset to his previous version with a greater ability to take on a full party of girls.

His sexual attacks will include Vaginal and Oral grabs with high Resolve damage that can bring defeat quickly. 

He will also have a 3rd High Severity sex grab that, if successful, will instantly defeat a solo or last standing character if he lands it. However if he uses it on a character in a party, he will mount them like a trophy and use them to cast powerful AOE spells that'll make his fight tougher.

One last thing to note about the Berserker is that he'll now be able to Subjugate your characters and take them to his lair as trophies.

For the next build I'm targeting a restoration of as much of the still missing content as possible.

Both Dr.Midday and Treu will be restored in the next build, along with the game intro and other content.

By the next Progress Report I expect to have both of them fully or near fully complete in the new combat system. Overall this update in progress is fairly large and will take a bit more time but I'm setting it as a milestone for all missing content with new additions added.

That about covers everything I have for this report! Over the month I'll have smaller updates to share. I'm personally really excited to have finally gotten the game into this state and I'm really looking forward to sharing some more details and enemies coming.

Until then, thank you again everyone for your support and motivation, it means everything to me, so take care until the next update post!
