Is it best to start a new game with 0.7.1?  Looks like some major-ish interface changes and I'm not seeing a visit the Crone's Hut option, but could be because I've already gotten all the training she'll give for the moment.

Continuing from existing saves hasn't been a problem since version 0.3, so don't worry about that. The problem you're facing is that a new game mechanic was added and explained in the tutorial, but since you're way past that point, it was never explained to you. The Crone's hut has been moved to the overland map, which you can access by leaving town and clicking the map scroll in the upper right part of the screen. This is how you travel outside of town from version 0.7 and out.

Long Live the Princess version 0.9.0 is now available to download for patrons. Link is in the first post.

This version focuses almost exclusively on story and puzzles, much like the first few updates for the game. In other words, don't expect much sexy stuff in this particular update. That will be coming in 0.10.

 

In version 0.9, Samarra gives you one week to prove Primrose's innocence in the murder of Truthsayer Merek. If you can't do it in time, Primrose will be arrested. But is she really innocent? Your actions will decide her fate.

 

The events in this update begin on day 17 (or later, if you're using a save that is from beyond that point) and last for one week.  Considering that there are three separate secrets in this update (I've never added more than one at once before) and that there's almost as much new text this time as versions 0.7 and 0.8 added together, I didn't have time to deal with the consequences of the week's events. This will be the focus of next month's version 0.10, where you should be able to see what your actions have resulted in, and (hopefully) reap the (sexy) rewards.

 

A little tip before you dive in: You should aim to have reached the point where you can reveal people's large secrets before day 17. 
 

Changelog 0.9.0:

• Added the game's first timed event on day 17. Most of the additions in this update occur during this event, so you won't see the new features until that day.
• Added a small secret to Samarra, and large secrets to both Samarra and Primrose.
• Added Remove Inhibitions for Samarra.
• Remove Inhibitions for Primrose now has a few more options.
• Added an investigation mechanic for the timed event.
• Samarra's tent is now available as a daytime location.
• Removed the search options at the training grounds and the stables for now since they have no effect.
• Redid the underwear cleaning renders of Primrose
• Minor tweaks and fixes.

Long Live the Princess version 0.9.0 is now available to everyone, and version 0.10.1 is available to download for patrons. Links are in the first post.

 

The post above contains patch notes for the public version 0.9.0.

 

This version is a weird one. Its purpose is to fill in the most important blanks from 0.9, so there's not much actual story progress or many new scenes in it. The biggest new feature is that you can now interact with Primrose after she gets arrested as well as continue the investigation so that you can potentially free her. If you prevented her arrest in the last version, you won't see any of this.

 

You can now also report back to Primrose after these events are over to collect a reward. The nature of that reward... well, it will depend on what Primrose thinks about you. I sure hope you've been keeping her happy.

 

Apart from that, the update features a bunch of smaller quality of life improvements. 

 

 

Changelog 0.10.1:

• Fixed a missing variable that caused crashes related to the Primrose arrest event.

 

Changelog 0.10.0:

• New, repeatable scene with Primrose.
• You may now continue the investigation of Merek's murder even after Primrose is arrested.
• You may visit Primrose while she is in prison.
• It is now possible to read in the library even if Primrose is in prison.
• Added alternate opening to Primrose's arrest event if Evelyn is gone.
• Scrolling credits are now available from the main menu. 
• You can no longer rollback to before a saved game you just loaded. This should resolve the Ren'py exceptions some people have been reporting, but won't fix saves already affected by this issue. 
• Music now resumes correctly upon loading a saved game.
• Minor tweaks and fixes.

Version 0.11.1 is now out for patrons. This version focuses on Belle, Samarra, and Nell, with a cameo by Callie. Download links for patrons can be found here.

 

Changelog 0.11.1:

• The code referenced the wrong image file names for Belle when she was being sad and wearing one of the new outfits, causing an error. This has been fixed.

 

Changelog 0.11.0:

• New repeatable scene with Belle that triggers automatically at night after a set number of days.
• Added two more costumes for Belle. These have to be bought at a certain tailor store.
• You can now visit Samarra's tent at night.
• New night scene for Samarra and Nell. Currently goes up to Perversity 2. More is coming later.
• Fixed an event trigger that erroneously caused the Primrose scene in the writing room to happen after she is released from prison.
• Samarra would refuse to let the player present clues to her after Primrose was arrested, making progression impossible if she hadn't already given you her own clue by that point. I have given her a stern talking to, and she promises she won't do it again.
• Various tweaks and fixes.

Version 0.12.0 is now out for patrons. Download links can be found here.

 

This version has two major features worth talking about.

 

1) The gallery. You can access this from the main menu. Any (finished) sex scenes that you have encountered in the game are added here, and you can also see which girls have scenes that you have yet to find. Please note that this update cannot fully detect if you've reached all of these scenes in earlier versions of the game, so some scenes that you have previously encountered may be locked off for you. If that is the case, you'll have to replay the game or load an old save until you reach that scene again.

Any available scene in the gallery can be clicked on, allowing you to play through it again without having to keep a save from just before it happened. Even better, you will have the ability to configure these scenes in many cases. Some configuration options require you to have made certain choices in the game itself before they are available.

 

2) The conclusion to Primrose's romance path. We've been working towards this for a while now, but we're finally here. You can now reach one of two possible conclusions to your relationship with her. These depend on choices you've made throughout the entire game. Please note that I've made changes to how your relationship with Primrose is handled from the early stages on, so existing saves might find it much easier to reach one of these conclusions than is intended. I recommend starting over for the full experience, but you won't break anything by continuing with an old save.

Just to be clear: There will be more Primrose in the future. This is just the conclusion to the romance path.

 

Changelog 0.12.0:

• Gallery added to the main menu. You can now replay and customize any of the finished sex scenes in the game.
• Added conclusion (but not end) to Primrose's romance path.
• 4 new scenes for Primrose.
• Charisma training now goes up to level 3.
• Tweaked how Primrose's relationship with you develops throughout the game. This is not retroactive for old saves, so using an old save might make it much easier to reach one of Primrose's new paths than is intended.
• Various tweaks and fixes.

Version 0.11.1 is now out for everyone. This includes, for the first time, an official Android port. You can find download links and patch notes here.

Version 0.12.0 is now out for everyone. You can find download links and patch notes here. (Patch notes were also posted above earlier)

[Belle the Pixie]

Version 0.13.0 is now out for patrons. Download links can be found here.

 

This version allows you to train your agility score up to level 5 by revisiting Samarra. However, most of you are probably already aware that any further training with her came with the condition that you could actually hit her in combat. In this update, you'll get the chance to do just that.

 

There are no new ways to actually use your improved agility in this update, but that will be coming very soon.

 

Changelog 0.13.0:

• Agility training now goes up to level 5.
• New scene for Samarra.
• Samarra's background story is slightly expanded.
• Your custom character name will now be used in replays. Load an old save or start a new game to set it.
• Adjusted part of the progression systems for Primrose based on feedback.
• Various tweaks and fixes.

Have you shown her the evidence you have before you used Invade Mind on her? Did you follow up on the leads you got. You need to solve Primrose's large secret before you can solve Samarra's.

Sorry about the late reply. I somehow didn't receive a notification about your post.

 

Running Ren'py games is not a problem at all and works exactly the same as any other Windows game (assuming you're on Windows. If you're on Mac, I really don't know how it works). Just unzip the game file and run the .exe file. That's it.

Over the years I've noticed that every game that uses non-animated, CGI art seems to be using the exact same program to make it with.  It's not bad looking, don't get me wrong, it looks good, but what I'm wondering is two things:  What is the name of this program and why is only that one program used universally?

While there is a little more nuance to it than what you indicate, you're basically correct. As of right now, there are two applications that most adult game creators will turn to if they need pre-rendered 3D graphics, and one of those applications comes in two different flavors. 

 

The cheapest, easiest, and fastest option is Honey Select, a Japanese game that has a pretty robust mode where you can pose characters. It doesn't create particularly impressive results, but its speed, simplicity, and relatively low hardware requirements mean that it's a popular choice. An example of a game using this method would be "Research into Corruption."

 

The other option, which is likely the one you've noticed, is Daz Studio. It's what I use. Daz Studio is incredibly powerful but also reasonably easy to use. Getting good results out of it still requires quite a bit of work (and talent), which is why so many images made with Daz can look shitty while others look photorealistic. There are two different rendering engines in Daz. One is called 3Delight and used to be the standard engine a few years ago. It renders its images by approximating real-world physics, which means that it's really hard to avoid making the results look fake. If you play a game that looks like it was made in Daz but still looks fake and videogame-like, it's probably rendered in 3Delight. 

 

The other rendering engine in Daz is called Iray and is the standard used today. It has pretty stiff hardware requirements, but uses actual physics for its renders, resulting in images that can appear very lifelike if set up properly. Experience with real-world photography is a big help in this case, as setting up lights and cameras is done in a realistic way. This is what I use.

 

Daz Studio is so prevalent in adult games today because there's little competition and because it has tons of support from content creators providing pre-made 3D models for people like me to use. It finds a good middle ground between the complexity of full 3D rendering applications like Maya (which take a lot of time and manpower to get good results out of) and the simplicity of a game engine. It's the best way for single developers to produce professional-looking renders within a reasonable amount of time.

Anything beyond TK17 is beyond my ability, so impressive work!

This update's primary focus is Callie's night scene. It's been implemented from scratch up to the same level (or even beyond) as Evelyn and Primrose. This took most of my development time this month, which was a little unexpected.

 

The second main new feature is expanded options during Callie's latest fashion show. Keep in mind that your choices do matter. Going all the way with these options will shape your relationship with Callie for when she returns in later updates. 

 

Changelog 0.15.0:

• Implemented Callie's large secret.
• Added new scenes for Callie and a new girl.
• Added a new location in town.
• Callie now has two new "fashion shows" for you
• One new musical track (Callie's theme)
• You can now enter Callie's store at night.
• Various tweaks and fixes

Changelog 0.16.0:

• Implemented Callie's night scene up to and including Perversity 5 and Agility 5.
• Further expanded Callie's fashion show with new options and rewards that will influence the type of relationship you can have with her in the future.
• There is now a new way to obtain Callie's panties.
• Added a new scene to the gallery.
• Various tweaks and fixes.
