Pornarium: An Adult Adventure Game by Tacoking

It Died from Dysentery.....

2013-06-15T01:06:00.000-04:00

Well, we had a good run. We had some good times, but I think this is it. Still no word as to whether Taco will let out the source, though the last time we talked he said he had uploaded it. Anyways, it was a pleasure to work on this project, I had lots of fun and learned lots about smut writing.

That being said, I'm moving on. You guys can find my new blog here. Requests are currently open for content suggestion, but basically I'm still in the process of making the blog look good.

Sincerely,

Hawtstuff

Hey all,

I'm sorry about the long bout of silence but I was stuck in a state of limbo, wrestling with what direction I was taking with Pornarium. I started this project over a year and a half ago and have dedicated perhaps far more hours then I want to admit and have actually invested far more money into the project then I'd also like to admit. As time war on, my work-life has taken a turn for the positive. I've gotten a better position and have become more financially secure. Unfortunately, this has had a negative effect on my free-time. As the summer wore on and I made it through the holidays I noticed increasingly my time had been increasingly split between friends, dating, work, my own relaxation, and working on Pornarium. As I chose to work on Pornarium I felt my personal life begin to suffer, I had to make decisions such as seeing my friends or working on the game. It became clearer that increasingly this would have made me live a life a solitude had I chosen the latter, I began to withdraw from the game as I spent more time away from it.
As January passed I wrestled with this dilemma further, I did take small amounts of time to work on the game but sadly I just felt it difficult to continue. Now February is almost halfway past and I still find it difficult to sacrifice my social life for the game. A 40+ hour work week virtually every week is a blessing in this economy, but combined with travel to and from work it doesn't leave me a ton of free time. I simply cannot in my current state devote a serious amount of time or effort to the game. I want to keep going but find myself growing detached.
Am I calling it quits? I suppose for now the safest way to answer this question is yes. The true answer is that I would like to continue working when time permits, but honestly I cannot predict when that will happen. I said after the New Year in December and a month has passed with little to show. It's not fair to keep asking you all to wait like this so I won't any further. Should I decide to continue working on the project I'll post immediately. For now expect my hiatus to last a few months, perhaps longer. I'm sorry to let you all down but this is the only decision that feels right for me.

We are not Dead.

2013-01-29T20:54:00.000-05:00

Just to clarify, this game is not dead. TK is just busy developing the game to the point there is nothing new for me to upload. in the meantime, here's a repost of .583a(4a) . It's fairly stable and contains important fixes for equipment and char creation. (One can buy weapons and armor. one can also choose farm as their background.) along with many misc. fixes.

Dreaded Holidays (well not really)

2012-12-14T18:00:00.002-05:00

Holidays in the states are rolling around and life is being distracting, not just for me but Hawtstuff as well. As the Christmas holiday rolls closer (and passes) both of us will start having more time to dedicate to the game. I have been working on it, just slowly lately. I'm mostly just posting this just in case you're wondering where the hell I went :P.

To those of you who are new (or newer) fans of the game, this does happen. Usually the pattern is rapid period of frequent updates followed by them slowing down and then stopping for about a month (sometimes two) followed by a couple months of frequent updates followed by a slow trickle, then a stop, etc.

The game has been in progress for over a year and a half and development isn't stopping anytime soon ^_^ If I ever did stop it would never be proceed by a lack of updates (it wouldn't make sense, nor would it be kind), I would simply just say it :P

Still making good progress

2012-11-25T11:06:00.002-05:00

Had a relatively busy weekend (it was a US holiday weekend after all :P) with family and friends and have resumed work on the game. I've made a new class to handle button FX and anything new and shiny with the UI and will be including some low graphics options for those who were having difficulty playing the game with older computers. Other then that nothing exciting at the moment :P

59TestA -- Option A has been answered

Please Note this build is not guaranteed to work on your computer.

Very High Bugs: Crashes Are NOT Unusual

EDIT From TK: This build is extremely unstable. I only really recommend it for people who want to get a peak at what to expect from the new UI. Do not download it for normal play, it'll just be frustrating ^_^.

EDIT From Teraunce: For bug reporting purposes this is a Development Build. Also the red X on minimize issue is known.

Remember, Click on the bug reports label to submit bugs. Above leads to the game.

New UI Question

2012-11-18T12:15:00.001-05:00

Your comments are especially important for this post as polls are broken for the blog apparently ><

I'm nearing the completion of the main screen's UI revision. It looks shinny (albeit with some bugs) but otherwise all is well. Would you, as fans like:

A. Me to release the new UI with only the main screen completed. All other screens for the new UI have not gotten a revision yet.
B. Hold off until all of the other components have received treatment as well (combat, sex system, etc.).

Please note that for either A or B, many of the button graphics themselves are being redone and text placeholders have been placed on those buttons yet unfinished (continue for example, simply says "Continue" instead of having fancier graphics like the sleep until 8pm button) and will remain that way until they are done. Nazca is kindly helping me with these but he's got stuffs to do like the rest of us so whenever he gets a chance he'll work on them.

If option A seems to be most prevalent the main screen will look pretty cool whereas the rest of the game will look like it always does until I start revising them as well (combat is next, followed by the sex system, followed by equipment, items, attributes, and skills). It won't look uniform at all until everything is done, but will still be functionally the same.

If option B is selected, it will take a lot longer for an official release, but I'll still let Teraunce upload intermittent builds as he sees fit.

I'm really liking the way the new main screen looks and I hope you all will come to like it as well.

Quick UI Retooling update

2012-11-12T16:16:00.000-05:00

Just a quick picture of the new buttons:

I didn't include the bevel effect in this image but you can see the highlight effect here. Nothing too fancy but I think it's starting to look a bit better. The UI will be arranged as follows:

The Left

The Upper left corner of the screen will feature your HP, FP, and Arousal bars in addition to mentioning how much money you have and how tired or rested you are.

The middle left portion of the screen will have that old irritating popup box but instead of popping up and disappearing, it will simply have a log of all of your stat increases and decreases. You can clear it out if you want and I'll include an option to hide it for those that don't want to see the log.

Under that will be the date / time.

Finally, in the bottom left corner will be the travel buttons orientated like they were on a compass (North is the middle top, Southeast is in the bottom right portion of that area).

The Middle

The top middle 60% of the screen contains the image box.

The bottom middle 40% of the screen contains the text box.

The Right

The top right portion of the screen will feature the buttons for stuff like EQ, Status, Skills, etc.

The bottom right will contain the new action buttons you see here.

Political sounding descriptions aside, it's actually pretty resizable this time around. It seems like it can be shrunken to just over 640 x 480 and still be playable, albeit very tiny. I'd say those playing on netbooks now should be able to handle these sizes without issue now :)

This new stuff is very tedious to program, I can't relay on the built in size / location features as they suck, I needed to create functions to resize and relocate all the controls but it's pretty easy and almost mindless, so whenever I get a moment I try to upgrade a few buttons at a time so I'm always making a little progress. The layout is all set, just not everything is yet implemented so I don't want to show a total picture just yet :P (new shiny buttons below ugly black / white buttons looks far too odd :P)

UI Revision

2012-11-09T16:52:00.003-05:00

Per the request of Hawtstuff, I've decided to revise the UI somewhat and hopefully improve it. This will take a bit of time though hopefully I'll have a working model up shortly. The new UI should have the following features:

Additional Hotkey support for those who lack a numpad.
Resizable window. It should be shrinkable from 1024x768 as well for those with smaller screens though support for resolutions lower then 1024x768 are not going to be official. if you try to shrink it to 208x114 it's probably not going to be remotely playable for example.
Beveled buttons
Ability to move and do actions if they are available.
More keyboard shortcuts
Improved layout

Nazca has volunteered to help redesign some buttons from an old improved UI that we were working on prior so it should look much sexier. The main window will see this treatment first, and then as time permits the other windows will be reworked as well.

Teraunce!

2012-11-05T22:51:00.004-05:00

Just letting people know that Teraunce is going to be helping out coordinating bug reports and uploading some of my experimental builds so you guys can check it out. I do work on the game almost nightly (albeit some nights only 15 minutes or so) and Hawtstuff is usually always editing an event or two at the least. Teraunce has offered to help push some of these smaller builds for you guys to download more frequently then I update (I'm sure you all know it can take a bit of time between build sometimes) so at the very least you can start to see some bug fixes a bit quicker :P. He's also made a bug report page and form that's pretty neat to help me organize all of the bug reports.

Also, quick update of what I'm working on:

I think I finally found the source of [one of] the last dreaded EQ bug! It's related to reverting your equipment when using a two-handed weapon. It will try to equip your fists (which is actually a bug in itself) but it searches for "1: Fists" rather then " 1: Fists" which causes a crash. I want to test out the fix a bit first before I put it in the game but once I know that works it should fix an irritating crash.

Here's a peak at the three things I'm working on most at the moment:

Performing At Madame Mamrya's

Basically another job to earn some EP based on your performance skill. Focuses primarily on Breast Exapnasion. If you can make yourself stand out (i.e. successful performance check) from the other busty performers you'll get some time to perform some various breast expansion techniques you've learned throughout the game for chances to earn even more EP. The initial parts of this event are written, I just need to write the breast expansion parts next. Support for goo-tits, pink vials, breast expansion magic, and lactation will all be part of the types of actions you can perform for the crowd. People are always asking for these events so I figured it's time to finally start writing them :P

Hotkey Improvements

Hawtstuff has written a great layout for me to implement so I plan to do so :)

UI Improvements

Diz gave me a good idea to make the EQ Window feature dropboxes to select your EQ from rather then an irritating listbox. If you click on the dropbox a menu will open with all your EQ in that slot rather then you having to scroll down (I fail at UI design).
I'll be looking at the UI improvement post recently made and will implement as many improvements as I can before the next build. Thanks for your feedback.

.58dev3 build up now.

2012-11-05T15:24:00.000-05:00

Bugginess is still high and fixes list will be updated when it is gotten. This build is from last night.
MD5 for Zip file is 9ED60FF5B885A5836253954DF9ACC85E
MD5 of current EXE is 438B03F53ED315CC8E114FF1B281B62A

Bugginess is to be highly expected

Pornarium Version 0.58.3a (in development)

Attribute Window
-Changed the coloring scheme so it's easier to tell which attributes you have a negative modifier / positive modifier more easily.

Bug Fixes

Attribute Window
-Fixed a bug where the attribute window would crash if an attribute was below zero.

Character Creation
-Fixed a bug where select "A farm" for your first job would cause a crash.

Events
-Fixed a bug where dirt would not be removed after swimming or showering.

Items
-Orcish potions and gynocomorphous potions no longer consume two items instead of one.

Main Window
-Several options (equipment, items, etc.) no longer appear via the travel menu. This is to prevent many bugs that can occur when performing these actions while mid-travel.

Edits

Skill Window
-Changed the coloring scheme so it's easier to tell which skills you have a negative modifier / positive modifier more easily.

UI Improvements

2012-11-04T22:20:00.001-05:00

I know the UI is terribad (Hawtstuff and others remind me frequently :P). A complete overhaul to something sexy like WPF is likely not going to happen but I can continually make several changes as time goes on. Let me know what I can do to improve it for you all :)

Forums Coming! (cumming?)

2012-11-04T12:44:00.003-05:00

Taco and I have decided that to further this project and to give back to you guys who have been awesome in supporting us all these years with creative writing, bug reports, and innumerable other things, it would be nice if we had our own community forums! That being said, I have no idea what forums software to use and which host to purchase (less than $10 USD/month is mandatory).

Please leave comments, as I will base my decision off of them =P

HS' Progress Update (out of nowhere) 11/1/12

2012-11-01T17:10:00.001-04:00

Hawtstuff here, today I did the following:

Edited all of Taco's writing from all the previous months.
Finished editing all of the Streaker quest events Leeroy had finished thus far.
Working on completing Nut's toy masturbation scenes he wrote a looooong time ago.
If I have time, finish sex scene #1 for the Sarah "waifu" questline I'm currently writing.

Possible stuff going on later this week

Info about the next build

2012-10-28T12:20:00.001-04:00

The next build shouldn't be too far away, my main focus is going to be fixing as many bugs as possible (I believe there were roughly 16 or so bugs reported with this last build). While I'll never be able to quash every bug squashing 15 or 16 is still good in my book. As long as time permits, I also plan to look at the suggestions page again and implement some of them :D

2012-10-24T22:46:00.002-04:00

I edited the original post with a link to a new torrent (0.58.1a). It disables the combat label to fix those who are getting crashes. My apologies!

I started a new game, chose to play a male (chose cock and testicles, did not select pussy or tits). My cock is 7 inches, my testicles are 3. Started game. Right off the bat, I noticed that there are no male arousal images. Later, while at the park, I took part in an orgy and got the bukkake schene. It displayed the female version of the scene (though you don't have a cock...) and left me covered in cum.

All of my descriptive text reads correctly, and I get the 'male' pictures for the shower, but otherwise it seems confused as to my gender.

Addendum: I started a new game and as soon as I could, I purchased a couple pieces of equipment and realized something in the info window that pops up.

In the previous game, it says, "Equipment Purchased" but doesn't list what exactly was purchased (but EP's are deduced as I mentioned earlier). In the new game, it says the proper, "You have gained a piece of equipment..." followed with the name of the equipment in question and then the "Equipment Purchased" message.

With the new game, saving, loading and/or quit/loading the game hasn't triggered any problems with equipment. I've both saved over the previous save, and saved to a new filename. The old game remains broken despite any amount of saving/reloading.

Addendum #2: I just had the issue hit my new game again, but fortunately it didn't seem to get "baked" into my saved game. I didn't do much after saving - I wandered in the sewers a bit, killed a couple critters (using longbow & greatsword), camped once, ran from an alligator, then returned to the marketplace, sold some of my extra equipment. It was when I went to buy a Large Shield that the bug hit again. I quit the game immediately and reloaded my game, and everything was fine.

The one commonality that I can see between my old save and my new save is the Combat. Old save, I hadn't bought any gear yet, so the couple combats had my old character either running for her life, or being handily defeated.

New character has lost a few combats, but has won several too.

Next time I have the bug happen, I'll try to make a new save so perhaps two separate saves of the same character could reveal something.

Addendum #3: I finally had some time to look into my games a little more. The issue that showed-up in Game #2 isn't quite the same as what happened in Game #1, but may still be related.

In Game #2, the info box does indeed stop reporting what you're buying, but the items are still showing up in the equipment lists as they're supposed to (unlike in game #1, where the equipment never shows up).

Furthermore, I found that I can reliably trigger this behavior by selling equipment. It doesn't seem to matter what I sell either. Furthermore, once this happens, it seems to get baked into the save game, since reloading a game after selling exhibits the same behavior.

I have two saves I can e-mail to you Tac0, one immediately prior to the bug, and one immediately after that. Again, it's not *quite* the same as the problem I had in Game #1, but it does have similarities.

I've been having trouble since even before this build. Whenever I give my characters vulpine attributes, it seems like you can't change the tail to feline through any means.

No equipment-being-lost bug, but sometimes when I sell equipment I get an error. This specific time selling the items one by one seems to stop the error, but I'll keep testing various things to see if I can narrow down exactly what causes it.

Found it. I think. Wasn't selling equipment at all, it was trying to travel while having this specific weapon equipped. (Sad, cause it's a REALLY good weapon)

Also, so far every time I exit combat in the sewers, the "move locations" from the previous area stay up. That causes a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error, but all you have to do is hit "travel/sleep" again and the correct location map comes up.

Future Plans (October 2012 Version)

2012-10-24T20:58:00.003-04:00

Just a quick highlight of the future plans for the game:

The main purpose of this alpha is to build the features of the game far more then content. It's why it can take awhile for stuffs to appear (a lot of what I work on is boring behind the scenes crap like equipment or traps :P). I generally will make content around these devices but my main focus is getting them to work. As you may have noticed, the alpha has almost hit version 0.60a, which means it's roughly 60% complete. What major features are needed to finish the alpha and move on to beta?

The ability to modify one's apartment.
The ability to buy a new home.
The ability to form relationships (positive or negative) with select NPCs and organizations.
The ability to have an NPC move in with you.
Tinkering!
A sort of "transformation achievement" system, where if you unlock a complete set of transformations you can pay a small fee to transform any body part to match that particular transformation.

I'm sure I'm missing some things, but after all that is added we'll move on to beta which is almost all content. I'm not going to avoid adding new content however so expect to see the following area(s) fleshed out in this order:

Remaining North Highway Events (there are a few left)
Nameless Inn Events completed.
South of Pornicle and the road to Drillhur (Skill and Attribute caps will be raised again starrting here)
The Town of Drillhur
A deep forest
A secret location ;)

Just wanted to give you guys an idea of what I'm going to be working on.

Pornarium Version 0.58.1a

2012-10-24T20:48:00.001-04:00

Release Highlights
(this assumes you haven't played since the last official build, which I believe was 0.45a. If you have played builds past that point, not all of these highlights will be new. View the old updates page to get a full update history)

Added a dungeon: The sewers of Pornicle (added in experimental version 0.51a)
Added four new spells, three combat and one out-of-combat.
Added several new events in the Northern Highway.
Edits by Hawtstuff
Tons of bug fixes (27 of them)
32 images added from across the interwebs and from things people have sent me.
Increased Keyboard support (for now, those with numpads may be happier. If you guys want an alternative non-numpad scheme as I know many have laptops w/o them, please suggest one so I can add it for you. Custom keybinds are a possibility, but a very distant one).
Pregnancy Implemented, though it's rather barebones at the moment, it works. Remember: Birth itself is not really described in the game, it's pretty much stated that it occurred and the game moves on :P The focus is the changes to your body due to pregnancy. Also added a chance to get pregnant slider in the options menu. NOTE: You must disable contraceptives in the Pornicle Hospital to get pregnant.
A difficulty slider is available in the options menu. This will make your game harder / easier depending on how you want to play.
Reworked sleeping slightly so it heals more hit points.

Click "Read More" to view the full notes and for download links. If you haven't played before make sure to go to the download page and download / install VB Powerpacks 10 and .NET 10.

A separate post will be made for bug reports shortly.

The game's official download method is going to always be torrents as it's the easiest way for the majority of us to share the game since bandwidth is pricey :P That said, alternative links will be provided but they will only last as long as the kind hosts allow us to post it there :)

Bug Fixes

Arousal
-Fixed a bug that prevented female arousal images from appearing.

Attribute Increases / Decreases
   -Fixed the erroneous usage of integers instead of decimals for attribute increases / decreases. This should fix future clit size manipulations from various events, though sadly if you have a bugged 0.0 inch clit you'll need to increase it's size again.

Character Creation
-Fixed the "Toggle Hair Growth" option,

Combat
  -The combat text window is now read only.
-Fixed a bug in combat where the player would fortify while confused, resulting in a lockup.
-Fixed a bug where the "move closer" menu option was grayed out despite the actual button being available.

Enemies
  -The Pure One ability that lowers a player's defense no longer increases their defense.

Equipment
-Found yet another potential cause for equipment issues. Let's hope that it's fixed this time!
-Fixed an issue where positive modifiers on equipment were not given a "+" before their bonus. (e.g. it should read something like Tinkering + 4)
-You can now sell equipment in the weapon and armor shops instead of solely the item shop.
-Fixed a bug where equipment was sometimes rewarded after combat or even in a chest but no mention is made anywhere in game.

Events
-Removed some debug text in a river event.
-Fixed the North Highway Random Accessory purchase. Random accessories should now be properly added.
-Fixed some typos with some of the new Northern Highway actions (instances that say "her" will now properly say "his" instead.)
-Fixed the siren encounter so it correctly drains FP / Time after the encounter. The event should not show a cost however on it's button.
-Fixed the bird event so that player takes damage. If you are on the highway, this damage shouldn't be fatal unless you are very wounded, or you have a pitiful amount of stamina (5 or less).

Event Script Reader
  -Fixed a bug that prevented "-inch" from appearing in many places that it should. Eventually I'll change this to include metric support. The reason this "-inch" suffix was suppressed was to prevent display errors like "-inch-inch" from appearing due to obsolete script. If this occurs these events will have to be manually editted in lieu of this band-aid approach.

Hospital
-Fixed a bug where body parts would stop appearing in the hospital window (if you removed something, it previously would not appear after loading unless the

game was restarted.)

Keyboard Shortcuts
-Fixed a bug where numpad 7 was not correctly traveling NW if the west direction wasn't available (when it should have been checking for the NW direction)

Locations
-Fixed a bug in the 30th Mile of the North Highway which restricted random encounters to only one type of enemy when 5 total should have been available.

Saving / Loading
-Fixed a bug where F9 would allow you to quickload a game while traveling. You'll need to make sure

Sex System
-Fixed a bug with specials and the sex system which doubled each player special.
-Fixed a bug with the goo cunt ability. It no longer costs 25000% of your FP to use and rather 25%.
-Fixed a bug where the tip window did not appear after buying time with a prostitute or endless continue loops on other sex system NPCs. This was caused in ultra rare circumstances when your arousal level would be at an ambiguous level following a sexual encounter (at least to the game) so it would refuse to process your arousal level.
-Fixed a bug preventing goo cock specials from appearing in the sex specials list.

Sleep
-Fixed a bug where the correct amount of HP was not being restored due to sleep. (it was far too little).
-Fixed a bug where you could continually sleep to gain HP, FP, and arousal when you are not actually sleeping at all.

Combat
-Revised the consideration label (i.e. how dangerous / harmless your opponenet appears to you). The labels should hopefully make more sense. They also account your modifiers in combat now so if you activate any buffs / debuffs it should let you know how it will change your potential outcome.

Equipment
-The Equipment category you have selected will now appear yellow so you actually know which one you've selected instead of having to rely on your intuition.

Images
-32 images were added from the web and from the help of others :)

Keyboard Shortcuts
-Pressing numpad '*' will now toggle the travel menu.
-Pressing numpad '/' will now sleep if the travel menu is over.
-Pressing del on numpad '.' will cause the menu to open so you can scroll through it.
-Removed the obsolete debug keyboard shortcut to...encounter bandits?
-Pressing escape on virtually every side screen (bar combat / sex system) will cause the game to close out the window and focus on the main screen.
-Pressing up / down will allow you to scroll through your item list on the item screen. Numpad enter will use an item, numpad '+' will sell a selected item, numpad '-' will drop a selected item, and numpad '*' will use an item multiple times. Pressing F1 on this screen will give these instructions.
-Pressing tab will move forward on the equipment list screen, shift+tab will move backwards between equipment lists. Pressing numpad '+' will sell equipment that's been selected, numpad '-' will drop it.
-It's possible to navigate the spell lists by pressing up / down. Numpad '+' will list all spells and enter will cast it if applicable.
-Pressing numpad '.' will open the sex system menu so you can select actions. Pressing enter will function as if you hit continue.
-Pressing numpad '.' will open the combat system menu. Enter already continued so there was no need to add this functionality again.
-Pressing up / down will scroll both the cooking and alchemy screens. Enter will cook / brew and escape returns to the main screen.

Locations
Park
-Removed the fountain of youth as in it's current form it's incredibly obsolete.

Pregnancy
-Added basic support for pregnancy through in game events.
-Added a pregnancy slider to the options menu. By default this is set to be close to realistic without getting too overly technical which is roughly at 3%. For those that want a much increased chance, this slider scales from 3% to 30%. See the next note for details on pregnancy.
-While there are no doubt some events that I'll miss, most / all events where you'd expect to get pregnant (provided you have the proper parts) will trigger a roll of 1 - 100. If that number is equal to or less then the pregnancy chance set in the options (again, defaulting to 3%) AND you have pregnancy enabled via the hospital, it will trigger a pregnancy in your character. While this system is still a bit barebones it is in the game officially now.

Sex System
Partners
-The Futanari prostitute is slightly more likely to use special abilities.

Sleep
-Changed the formula for recovering hitpoints when sleeping. When well rested at your home, you will recover 100% of your hit points per 8 hours of sleep. When sleeping somewhere comfortable, though away from home, this recovery is reduced to 80%. After your first night of poor sleep, the amount restored is 60%, then 40% on the second, 20% on the third, and 0% after each night beyond that.

Next Build Wednesday

2012-10-22T19:46:00.000-04:00

Wednesday, October 24th will be the next official build.I think this will be the first non-experimental build since 0.43a or 0.45a, it's been awhile so I don't remember what the last "mostly stable" build was. If you want to take a peak at the update notes feel free, note that these changes are since the last experimental build.

Assuming you haven't played since the last stable build, here are the highlights:

Several new North Highway events including a new and dangerous foe.
Four new spells (three combat and one field spell)
Two new sex techniques.
A few new items.
Basic Support for pregnancy has been added (needs a lot of fleshing out, but it's there)
A few new images (only 6 or so, but I may add more before Wednesday based on what I randomly find on the nets)
A ton of bug fixes.
New location: Nameless Inn (though there are few events for it yet)
Any edits performed by Hawtstuff.

Chances are this will occur later in the evening on Wednesday. I haven't attached a version number yet because based upon whatever amount of free time I feel like spending toward the project before Wednesday there could potentially be some bonus stuff. After I post it, I'll make note of what I'm planning to program next in the game.

(Note: Hawtstuff has let me know he's working on some events as well so if that can be squeezed in too it will :P)

0.57a Preview?

2012-10-15T22:07:00.001-04:00

I mentioned I would post a new build tonight regardless of how much I finished. As promised I did so but didn't finish totally.

It's really buggy as all hell and I recommend holding off for a day or two. If you don't care about bugs and all sorts of strange issues feel free to download it by clicking on read more below, (hell I haven't even self-edited my own events).
Please post any bugs in the previous post (0.55.1a bugs) as I'm still fixing those bugs at the moment :)
