Hi all, I've been working on the new version as usual, and wanted to give a rundown of some of the things I've been adding.

1st- new training types!

Corsets now apply a stamina penalty while wearing them, and training reduces that penalty.

Gag training lets you learn how to gag-talk, and is trained through actions like flirting and buying/selling items.

Senses training makes your hearing better (the mechanic that lets you see outlines of enemies before visual contact), and reduces blindfold vision penalties, and is gained by hearing enemies or simply seeing them wearing a blindfold.

2nd- I've worked on adding support for IRL toys, and the support is now official. Toy patterns should match the audio ingame, although getting them properly synced depends heavily on the latency of your system. The game attempts to re-synchronize toy patterns every few seconds to avoid too much tactile/auditory dissonance, but alas for our limited technology in today's age. Perhaps the Old Civilization had a better solution.

3rd- There's been a rework of the audio system, which now supports reverb and panning, so the game's audio will now have a bit more granularity as to how you hear sounds. The reverb can be disabled in the game settings if it's distracting, though I'm trying to tweak it, so patrons/subscribers, please let me know what you think of it.

The version also has a lot of QoL changes, too many to count, but you'll notice it all when you start a new game. There's a new display for restraints that shows stacked items at a glance, and the path indicator for auto-pathing is more clear, for instance. There's also a new curse related to the doll mirror that might pop up while playing, although it's quite rare and you probably won't see it every game.

Here's the full changelog for 5.5 so far:

Nightly update

Hi all, there has been an update to the nightly version. Feel free to check it out, it contains: - Rework of inventory screen - Some changes to the doll area including adventurers arriving to admire the dolls - HSL color picking support in outfit editor - Pronoun selection for NPCs and Player

This isn't a huge update, but I decided to add a proper scroll bar (and draggable scrolling for mobile users) to the inventory, along with some rearrangement to make things a little clearer (unfortunately an inventory is always going to be a bit visually busy)

Just a development update on the 5.5 update, focusing on the doll shoppe.

Original post here: https://ada18980.itch.io/kinky-dungeon/devlog/1601152/55-dev-log-2

Some of the doll shoppe is currently available on the nightly, but my current development build is quite a bit ahead because it's not ready for playtesting- though I'll be trying to get it out once I work out the Spiritbond collar mechanics.

The shoppe acts as a prison for the DressUp Co. faction, replacing the existing high-security prison model with a larger, open space with a jail area, stands for storing 'dolls,' and a display area where adventurers can come gawk at the dolls and how pretty they are. Perfect for players who are exhibitionists and like being put on display.

The next feature I am working on involves a "Spiritbond collar" which is something you can willingly take from the observing adventurers by talking to them. This is the next step of development and might not be ready for a while, but the basic premise is this: - The NPC will always be in your party while the collar is locked on - The NPC will drain your resources (mana, stamina, willpower) in order to heal themselves - The NPC will occasionally leash you, play with you, and will be friendly unless you attack them. - The NPC becomes a persistent NPC and will wander to try to find you if you and the NPC get separated - If the NPC is present in the doll shoppe (or any other area where you can get offered one) then the NPCs on the map will treat you as their ward and won't assume you've broken out of jail.

In order to make such a bond, you first have to entice them- which involves a simple matter of selecting the right dialogue option. Each NPC type has a different personality and each personality has different weights as to what kind of doll they like to see, so you can increase your chances by guessing the personality type from their initial dialogue and going from there.

There is also an additional thing that can happen in the doll shoppe, particularly if you annoy a certain enemy type known as a "Puppetmaster..."
