Chastity Quest (Build 4) - $3 Patron Release
Added 2020-06-16 05:53:15 +0000 UTCImportant! Save Compatibility!: I'm putting this up here at the top, before I even talk about the build, so no one has an excuse to miss it :-p. This is the first time an area is being updated with new content, whereas before builds all contained entirely new areas. As such, there was a save compatibility issue to resolve. FEAR NOT! I hate having to redo content when new releases come out myself, so I came up with a solution so you can use your Build 3 saves! In order to use a Build 3 save, VISIT KIRALIA'S BEDROOM in New Landing. There you will find a new option (Update Variables to Build 4). Use this option ONCE for any individual save that you want to use. This will update your game to provide all the new data needed for build 4. Don't use the button again after that! I won't be responsible for someone screwing up their quests and such by using it more than once. A warning that is repeated in game. I also won't be responsible for anyone trying to use old saves without following that instruction :-p. Note, you should not need to use this at all, if you use a save from before the Dawn's Rose content!
*Also, for those that hadn't noticed the obvious, saves for the game are actually just in the main game directory(where the game's exe is). So they can be copied between builds hilariously easily. I probably should have mentioned that before, huh?*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I was actually planning to release this to $3 patrons a few hours ago...but I laid down for a 'quick power nap' and...woke up like 4 hours later. Oops. Well, anyway, it's been two weeks, ish. By the way, if anyone actually plays the new web version, please let me know if it works well. I've gotten no feedback on it one way or the other...
Now, about the build! Build 4 has rather a lot in it, actually. More than even I had really processed that there was. Because I'd been thinking in terms of Scene Count, I hadn't realized just how much I'd actually squeezed into the build. Not until it took me 8 freaking hours to do an editing pass, and 3 more to fully test/bugfix the build -_-.
Of particular note is a nice surprise for you all. Namely, that instead of 2 new mage guild events/quests, there are actually 3. I ended up having so much content for the second of the planned quests that I decided to split it into two, using many of the assets for the next quest in the chain. This did, unfortunately, result in them being linear events, which is something I try to avoid, normally. But, in this case, I felt that making them such was the lesser of two evils. I think they actually turned out pretty good all things considered...and both are LARGE events/scenes! As in 13 images for the smaller of the two. And, of course, that doesn't even mention the 1st Mage Guild Quest, which is a bit more interactive and involves multiple scenes.
Now, rather than ramble on, let's get to the links and release notes! If you're one of those that don't read the release notes in detail though, know that this build focuses on three things. The Mage Guild Quests, Interaction with the Chapter Mistress Tylan, and the new Pony Express Courier Service content!

Alright, guys, gals, and others. First warning, it takes a bit of time to load, during which all you'll see is a blank black screen. I have pretty good broadband, and it took about 60 seconds to load the start menu. Be a bit patient :-). This is also the first-ever Web Version (along with the Public Release of Build 3). You're basically guinea pigs on this one because I DEFINATELY barely know what the hell I'm doing ^_^. The Username and Password above are how I'm limiting it to just the patron tiers, so input those when the box pops up...and let me know if there's any issues with everyone using the same Name/Password. I don't have a way to test what happens when more than one person is logged into the server that way. And, you know, any other issues if you try this version. I've only tested it through the tutorial end...
Windows:
Mega
Mac:
The Bullshit Workaround Version for Some Mac Users(Hopefully the last time we need it)
Instructions:
Note! You will get a blank black screen if you simply try to run the above file! In order to make the bullshit workaround version work, you'll need to disable a security setting in your browser, designed to prevent unknown publishers from running browser stuff from local files. The only way to fix it from my end it to host it and let you play the game online...but I don't have the money for a paid server and free ones won't host a game this big. So, for now, if you need to use this version, you can make it function by fiddling with the CORS settings of your browser:
I STRONGLY recommend not using this version unless the regular mac downloads AND the web version don't work for you! It is provided purely as a known workaround for those the regular Mac download doesn't work for!

Chastity Quest Build 4 Release Notes:
Build 4 introduces a lot of new content. It focuses on three major areas. First, is the new Pony Express Courier Service. Second is the first 3 events/quests for the Mage Guild Route through New Landing. Third is quite a bit of content for Tylan, the Chapter Mistress of the New Landing Mage's Guild! The total new scene count for the build is 17 new sex scenes, with about half of those being much larger than usual scenes.
The Pony Express Courier Service: The Pony Express business is owned by a new Major Character, Ryka. She...actually kinda took an unexpected but enjoyable turn when I was writing her! She, of course, has her own chats...though sadly no sex scenes with her just yet! What the shop DOES contain, adult content wise, is:
- Courier Job: 4 new scenes (two in chastity gear, two not), with some random chance involved as to the outcome... (Job has a non-sex variant that IS NOT included in the scene count)
- Adverting Job: 2 new scenes (unbelted scenes, both, though later on a belted version will be added). Again with a random chance on which you get :-p.
The Mage's Guild Quests: There are are ultimately going to be three ways to get through New Landing and onto the next major came location. This build properly introduces the first such 'route.' While not yet complete, the first three Quests/Events of this route are now in the game. Each one is LARGE, far larger content-wise, than anything else in the game so far. Included are:
- 4 New Scenes for the first quest/event. 3 normal sized scenes and 1 large one.
- 1 EXTREMELY LARGE scene, the single largest anywhere in the game, for the second quest/event.
- 1 Large (but not EXTREMELY LARGE) and quite varied scene for the third quest/event.
Chapter Mistress Tylan: The last 'major' content area of this build is to flesh out one of the Major Characters, which is something that hadn't happened yet for any of the New Landing NPCs. In this case, Chapter Mistress Tylan has received quite a bit of new content, including:
- 2 Repeatable Sex Scenes between just Kiralia and her.
- 3 Repeatable Threesome Scenes with a character from the First Mage Guild Quest. Full disclosure, only 2 of those are considered Unquie Scenes, as the third is basically a repeat one what happens during the quest itself.
- New Chat revealing some interesting (I hope) bits of Tylan's past. This isn't automatic...you have to find a hint by playing her scenes, before it will show up!
Other:
- A new Kira-is-futa-variant scene for the Practical Mage instructor. This got forgotten in the last build! Oops!
- Various typo fixes.
- Probably something else I'm forgetting since I'm totally exhausted.
- The Credits Menu has been updated. Both adding a page for New Landing, and adding some new $10 patrons.
Known Issues:
- The first video (oral) for the Unbelted Pony Express Delivery (Female Variant) is trash. It's stuttering and has a ton of issues. This, unfortunately, was not caught until testing. It will need replacing in the future. Thankfully, the second vid for that scene was mostly unaffected.
- Entering the Dawn's Rose content with Max Lust can, apparently, trigger the Lust Effect content, resulting in you not actually going to the Dawn's Rose...not sure what's going on there. Having trouble duplicating this...but it's been reported to me. Will poke at it some more.
- Some minor issues with the credits menu screen. I did kinda a hack rush-job on it this time due to a mistake with not saving changes to the photoshop template. Will need to fix this in the future.
