ALPHA 0.8.1: Smoke Break

Affording the player the ability to be an idiot is an interesting part of game design. Working on this update, I was reminded of the No Man's Sky press; I haven't played it, but I was disappointed to see reviewers note that the game will not allow the player to crash spacecraft into planets. That's bad. Yet I now have personal experience with at least one reason why that decision might have been made: dev time. This update adds quite a lot of Head Girl content, but it also removes the option to appoint a Head Girl who hates you. The time that would have gone into writing and coding alternative outcomes for terrible Head Girls, which few players would ever see, was better used elsewhere. On fixing the extraordinary number of bugs in 0.8.0, for example.

The extreme content filter is a work in progress, which is why the encyclopedia does not include a comprehensive list of the content it suppresses. If you're wondering where harsher content available during your last playthrough went, check whether you have extreme content enabled. A good example of a minor thing you won't see unless you play with extreme content enabled is the interview with a slave in a Degradationist arcology in the Encyclopedia.

ALPHA 0.8: Bell Curve

As I've mentioned several times over the course of 0.7+, I intend to use major version numbers like 0.8 to designate breaks in save eligibility for New Game Plus. This update makes some changes to slave stats that would have required some significant coding to import, so previous saves are not eligible for New Game Plus, and this update gets a major version number. The version number does not imply that this update is larger or smaller than usual in terms of the work that has gone into it.

What this update does do is give slaves' faces some long-overdue attention. Faces can now be extremely ugly and extremely beautiful. I felt that perfect facial attractiveness was too easily attainable and too common: this change addresses that by providing another level of beauty that few slaves will present naturally. This is an intentional buff to pro-surgery arcologies: a stable of perfect faces is now difficult to maintain without surgical intervention.

In addition to a broadened attractiveness stat, faces now have one of six shapes (cute, sensual, exotic, androgynous, masculine, and normal). Though I expect there will be mixed feelings on this, face shapes do present another challenge to complete feminization. They also provide further distinctiveness between slave schools. The Futanari Sisters come off best out of this; their practices make them a unique source of slaves with both highly feminine face shapes and large dicks.

This update also expands the stats that govern slaves' intelligence, height, and teeth. As with previous mechanical updates, the content for slaves at the extremes of the new possibilities is thin. I intend to spend some time over the next updates giving geniuses, imbeciles, and slaves with braces (among others) the attention they deserve.

ALPHA 0.7.11: Nominal Consideration

This is a mechanical update that adds some functionality to the retirement system and extends it to allow indentured servitude as well. Indentured servitude is a rich basis for events and other new content, but the mechanic is limited to an indenture market for now. Once it's playtested and working properly, it'll be fleshed out. (For those who haven't been following this project, that's my standard approach: add a mechanic in one update, fill it out over succeeding updates.) Indentured servants are called slaves in most scenes, and I'm writing them into FC as a subset of slaves, simply because "slave" appears in the HTML more than 53,000 times. Real world debates about the nature of indentured servitude are going to have to defer to practicality, here.

This update also adds an automated alternative to rules assistant applied curatives for players who prefer to keep their girls drug free but don't want to micromanage slaves' health, either. The universal rules menu now has an option that directs the personal assistant to automatically reassign unhealthy slaves to spend the week resting, and then return them to their original assignment once they are healthy. This is not a change to the effects of curatives or rest; its impact is exactly the same as if the player manually directed rest for anyone with a negative health value before ending the week.

Indentured servitude

• Added indentured servitude to the game; in most situations, indentured servants will continue to be referred to as slaves.
• Indentured servitude works as an alternative to the retirement system, so indentured servants cannot retire.
• Being an indentured servant has several long term mental effects, most of which will tend to make unhappy indentured servants disobedient.
• Added a straightforward expiration event similar to the retirement event with differing outcomes based on a slave's feelings about the PC.
• Indentures are either Protective, Restricted, or Unrestricted, with the first two placing some restraint on what the PC can do.
• Restrictive indentures forbid invasive surgeries, service in an industrial Dairy, confinement in a glory hole or service in an Arcade, and subordination to the Head Girl.
• Protective indentures additionally forbid most elective surgeries, any Dairy duty other than free range service, most drugs, and intensive hormonal regimes.
• Higher indenture restrictions and lower indenture time remaining will both depress indentured servant prices.
• Added a source of indentured servants to the slave markets.

ALPHA 0.7.10: Wealth of Nations

This update provides a couple of examples of the way I often decide what to work on next. Sometimes there's an overall plan, but often I'll look to address a minor deficiency in the game and realize that the best way to do so thematically or for gameplay purposes is to add something new. This update adds slave retirement, and since it was necessary to give slaves some sort of existence after the various retirement options, there's also a new mechanic that allows the player to buy, sell, and own menial slaves. Similarly, some PC customization options were underpowered, so this update makes it possible for the PC to fail to detect gingering, and offers the weak customizations an advantage at detection.

The retirement system is probably going to frustrate some players. It's unforgiving by nature: at a specified moment, a slave that the player may have devoted considerable effort to vanishes from the game for most purposes. Nevertheless, I decided to add it after many requests, and because I think the game is improved by making slaves seem more lifelike. But, like other potentially obnoxious systems, it can now be toggled off.

This update also includes the game's first optional, toggleable mod. It's a lategame upgrade that provides a rowdy bunch of mercenaries commanded by a delightful individual who reminds me of a violent, rapey, coked-out Colonel Santiago. This is an optional, opt-in modification, since despite fitting into the FC world quite well, it may become non-canon at some point, and it involves a static character to a degree I'm avoiding in the base game.

No update today

I have a very solid update ready to go, but I won't have the time to push and support it until tomorrow, Tuesday July 26, at the earliest. As a friendly reminder, though I've been pushing an update most Mondays for some time, I cannot commit to a regular update schedule. As partial compensation, here's a preview of 0.7.10 features:

• Four kinds of slave retirement, the ability to set a custom retirement age, and a toggle to suppress all aging.
• Slave market improvements, including improved gingering, two new markets, and more.
• New starting option to define the Free City in which the arcology is located as urban, rural or seaborne.
• Faceless menial slaves in several varieties, which can be bought, sold, converted and more.
• Long overdue UI improvements.

ALPHA 0.7.9: Power to the People

This update makes small additions to many areas. At this point, FC has several active contributors, and integrating their work is inevitably absorbing some time. The most significant of my own original contributions to this update are Free Cities versions of traditional animal practices: a complex monthly racing event based on coursing and a new feature of the slave markets based on gingering.

More contributions are always welcome, of course. More than anything else, FC needs more generic random sexual events between the player and his or her slaves. Coding these is extremely simple; if you can write a good sex scene, you can easily create one by altering a preexisting and mechanically similar event. I'm happy to help explain things to potential contributors by email.

ALPHA 0.7.8: Public Good

This update moves several existing mechanics into a policy system. Reputation subsidies, prosperity subsidies, and all the future society laws have been recast as policies with minimal changes. Some of the laws have been split into multiple policies, and new policies have been added, for a total of 55 possible policy options. Only a fraction of these will be accessible at any one time, since many have prerequisites.

This system is designed to be much simpler to add options to than before, so I intend to include many more. Feel free to suggest policies that you'd like to implement. Of course, the more sweeping a policy is, the harder it'll be for me to add it. Something like a simple subsidy that affects one thing is quick and easy; something like mandatory female enslavement is tough, since all references to female citizens would have to be recoded. I'll consider everything, of course, and I've dumped a ton of time on cool ideas before: but straightforward suggestions have better chances.

ALPHA 0.7.7: Independence Day

I was sorely tempted to include an American Revivalism future society with this one, but it would be half Bioshock Infinite and half political commentary, and parody and politics are both things I'm trying to avoid. 0.7.6 and previous versions included a sexy nurse outfit and no sexy nurse. Obviously unacceptable. This update includes an unusually large number of things I want to get feedback on, so bear with me here.

Absurd bodies are awesome. From a game design perspective, I think it's better when they're more difficult to achieve and maintain; this keeps them special. Up to now, the game has mostly been treating different body parts as separate from one another, which could lead to nonsensical results like an emaciated slave with fifty kilos of tits. This update adds several interactions between diet, weight, and asset size. They won't affect core gameplay and can be safely ignored, unless the player wishes to manipulate them to maximize growth. In that case, there are all sorts of strategies possible that I haven't fully explored. For example, simultaneously overfeeding, resting, and breast injecting a slave until the desired breast size is achieved, and then having her work off the resultant chubbiness elsewhere, is now faster than trying to achieve everything at once.

This update includes an event in which a sexually aggressive slave has her way with another slave. I really like this kind of interaction: not only is it hot, but it invokes a lot of interesting themes, especially when the dominant slave used to be resistant to slavery. However, it's dangerous ground for players with specific ideas about ownership of their slaves and who, exactly, is allowed to do what to whom. As with previous events like this, I've done my best to ensure that the event won't appear if the player's rules would forbid it, and to make it clear that the slaves involved are doing their best to remain slavish despite what's going on. If this doesn't work for you, and you find your slaves behaving in ways you'd like to punish but can't, let me know.

After repeated requests, chastity cages are now in the game. As depicted, they're very uncomfortable to get an erection in, but do not make orgasm from other erogenous zones impossible. Slaves wearing them should not be touching their own dicks, getting their dicks touched, or dicking anyone. I've tried to catch all of these, but if experience with chastity belts is any guide, I've missed many of such instances. Please report them as bugs. Speaking of bugs, I'm aware of the bug that is sometimes causing the wrong slave to be removed. It is not addressed yet, but finding, fixing, and destroying it is now priority number one.

0.7.7 Changelog

Spa rebalance and Clinic addition

• The Spa has been rebalanced to focus more on slaves' devotion and trust than their health, and can raise these to a high level.
• The Spa focus on mental health has been retained, and careers in mental health are now advantageous for the Attendant.
• A new facility, the Clinic, has been added to take over the Spa's medical purposes: it is designed to be used to treat authentically unhealthy slaves.
• The Clinic's leadership position is the Nurse, who benefits from having a medical background, and being intelligent, dominant, physically fit, and pretty.
• The Clinic can be upgraded to slowly reverse the effects of long term drug use, an effect that will stack with other methods of doing this.

Weight and Assets

• Slaves with assets grossly out of porportion to their weight will experience gradual asset shrinkage as their bodies burn fat from those areas.

ALPHA 0.7.6: Private Parts

This is an unusual update in terms of content. Without getting into too much detail about my workflow, it got to the point where I had enough bugfixes to support another hotfix to 0.7.5, enough stable content to justify an update, and enough time to push one. This update adds absolutely nothing in terms of events or interactions: it adds varying vaginal wetness, foreskins, and new tattoos; and fixes bugs.

Wetness and foreskins are good examples of where I'm planning to take future stats. With the obvious exception of circumcision, which is included, neither of these things can be affected directly. They develop from secondary effects of the player's decisions. The hidden anal area stat added several updates ago was the first of these, and I like the effect they're having on the game. Slaves shouldn't feel like a series of switches that can be flicked into the player's desired combination of positions.

0.7.6 Changelog

Genital updates

• Added a vaginal wetness stat. This has a minor effect on performance at sexual assignments.
• XX slaves will usually be generated with normal vaginal wetness, though older or sexually frigid girls may not be.
• XX hormones can increase vaginal wetness for slaves with ovaries, while XY hormones can decrease it for all slaves.
• Added foreskins. These are mechanically similar to the anal area stat added in 0000 in that they can change naturally and be altered, but have very minor gameplay effects.
• Foreskins are generated quasi-randomly for now; cultural variation may be added in the future.
• Slaves can now be circumcised using the Remote Surgery.
• Penises grown in the organ farm will always feature foreskins, since they are grown from DNA.
• Foreskins will lag behind penis size changes, though they will naturally stretch or atrophy to catch up; this will happen more rapidly if the slave can get hard and has the sex drive to do so regularly.
• Having an undersized foreskin will make achieving erection uncomfortable, reducing sex drive slightly for slaves that can do so.

Career bonuses

• Most existing careers now offer a minor bonus of some kind, which will be called out in a slave's individual menu.
• Responsible and educated careers tend to offer a small bonus to performance in one of the leadership roles.
• Entertaining careers slightly improve attractiveness; this bonus can also be obtained through time and perfected skills.
• Sexual careers slightly improve sexual performance; this bonus can also be obtained through many sexual encounters.
• Menial careers offer a small weekly Devotion bonus for slaves that do not hate the PC.
• Unpleasant careers offer a small weekly Trust bonus for slaves that are not terrified of the PC.
• Slaves who have been enslaved for a long time will always get a small weekly Devotion bonus.
• These bonuses impact slave valuation, and are called out during slave appraisals.

Tattoo revisions

• Renamed various tattoos for clarity and concision, and cleaned up the tattoo UI.
• Due to the renaming, using NGP will now zero out tattoos.
• Revised many tattoo descriptions and created a new Counting option that tattoos tiny symbols on the slave to reflect her sexual history.
• Added back tattoos.

Other updates

• Bugfixes, including a very large number of fixed typos.
