Three brand new outfits are coming to the game early next month in v0.14.2! Two will be Patreon exclusives.
The new outfits are are:
I may release a patch in April, probably within the first week or so of the month. I'm not 100% sure, but at this point I am planning on it.
So I've been conducting some small closed playtests for Hex and thanks to some help from my testers I was able to massively improve the timing minigame system's performance. I'm planning to backport these improvements into Succubus Stor...
This is still early and pretty rough. I plan to add additional animations and effects, and the audio isn't complete yet so it's muted. There are bugs and some weird issues here and there, too. This is the general idea, though.
You stack auras on yourself and enemies. Different spells have different effects on auras, for example, some can convert one type of aura to another, others can gra...
2023-03-26 11:37:28 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, over the last few weeks I've been trying to put together more consistent devlogs, basically documenting some of my work on Hex. These devlogs are typically focused on either programming or on the creative process.
I have also been writing short, episodic fiction in the form of "Before Hex." These posts are intended to form the background for the story of Hex by showing ...

Will the player character be able to defeat Rachel? Will she even need to? Will the plans laid by her and her friends really come to fruition? Will the player character remain a demon or become a human again? Will she even survive long enough for it to matter?
There isn't just one answer to all of these questions. Your decisions, both throughout this journey, and going forward, will deter...

I'll be spending about the next 4-6 weeks mostly working on Hex. While I'll still devote about 1/5 of my time to Succubus Stories (or one day per week) over this period, I want to get an alpha demo version of Hex out to patrons this spring, as I've said before.
Succubus Stories is only about two or three updates from completion at most, and I want to tr...

Not sure if I will do anything with it, but it exists. If you want to follow me, go ahead! I'll probably post more generic updates over there, like what I'm working on on a given day, or maybe I'll just whine about being bad at programming or something, who knows! The possibilities are endless.
Anyway, major news and updates will still be posted here and on the discord, so don't worry abo...
2023-03-19 11:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostVersion 0.14.1 has been released to both the free edition and to patrons!
Hex’s visual novel markup language is a simple, but fairly powerful way for me to quickly write and implement VN scripts. The game can call scripts from individual Twine passages, or can be given the name of a playlist, in which case it pulls a random passage from the playlist to read as a script.
The markup language used to write scripts is simple, but there are a number of sh...

This is what the various less important NPCs look like in Hex. NPCs are made from interchangeable parts, so we can get quite a bit of variation out of them. Of course they all look somewhat similar, but we can add more parts as we go, if needed.
2023-03-11 14:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostGetting Rais's move-in done was very annoying because of the stupid way I programmed visiting him at home. I was concerned I'd have more trouble getting everything working, but it wound up being less trouble (but still very annoying) than I thought. Because I got it done so quick, I think we'll only need one patch this update cycle, v0.14.1. I was initially thinking we'd need two, so I...

Some character design concepts for Hex. The first image shows how Meila's outfit is intended to be worn, then how the succubus possessing Meila's body chooses to wear it. The option to wear clothes properly or improperly is something we intend to eventually explore.
The other image shows various secondary characters. There are male characters too, don't worry. From left to right,...

Combat in Hex will occur from a first-person perspective. The position and items in the player character's hands will change according to your actions, as will the color and shape of the magic, which will reflect the actual type of spell you are casting. Enemy HP and player HP and MP are hidden in this screen because they aren't complete yet (I'm just using numbers right now) but they ...
2023-03-06 14:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys. I hope you are enjoying the update.
I was hoping to get some feedback regarding the new fertility clinic "teasing" activity, and the timing-based minigame that is part of it. I have received a report that the minigame was dropping frames or stuttering for at least one user. If you are experiencing similar issues, I would like to hear from you!
I would also like to know wha...
2023-03-04 22:50:20 +0000 UTC View PostIn the changelog, for every major named update, I always add a little "Hints" section that details how you can access various pieces of new content in the update. Because the changelog is a big, unruly mess that can be hard to find your way around, from now on I will reproduce this section a...

2023-02-28 11:56:19 +0000 UTC View PostI felt like I just wasn't doing her justice, so I wound up writing completely unique dialogue, and even some unique scene components for Charlotte's encounters. She does share a few things with the common NPC lesbian dialogue, but it's mostly brand new and totally unique stuff, and I have to say, I think the sex scenes with her turned out pretty fun and hot. I think I'll go back and do this wit...
2023-02-27 10:23:10 +0000 UTC View PostThings are on track for release! I just finished testing all of the new story content, which took quite a while just to try out all the various different combinations of options. It's possible there were combinations I missed, too, so when the update arrives, please let me know if anything odd happens!
I'll get as much as I can of the promised romance content in the v0.14.0 release over t...
2023-02-26 10:15:55 +0000 UTC View PostGemma had not slept alone, but for a stray night here and there, for almost six years. The warmth of Meila curled up next to her had always been there. Gemma didn’t sleep as long, so she’d always fall asleep with Meila breathing softly in her ear, and wake up the same way. There was no breath on her ear now.
Gemma really did believe those days would last forever. She really was a fool...

Version 0.14.0 of Succubus Stories--Date Night-- will be coming to the patron edition of the game on February 28, 2023!
I didn't initially plan to release this update on the last possible day I promised, but hear me out please! So here's what happened: basically, I added more story than I said I would. Instead of only one or two branches, I am adding the...

In v0.14 I'm adding a setting that allows players to increase the amount of screen real estate portraits can take up, pushing text to the side and making character portraits take up more space. This mode won't look good on smaller screens, like on mobiles, though I'll probably still have the setting available on small screens for players who want to experiment with it anyway.

In v0.14.0, a new sub-area, the Fertility Clinic, will be made available. The main draw of this area is a new activity: "cock teasing." In this activity, the player will be tasked with edging and teasing a patient in order to help them impregnate their significant others. Because of this, the goal is to bring them as close as possible to reaching orgasm, but without actually climaxing and wasti...
2023-02-17 09:49:53 +0000 UTC View Post$10 patrons were asked to vote on the next outfits they'd like to see in the game. These will be the next group of outfits, not the outfits for v0.14.0, which are already locked in. The options were:
I've been quiet for a little bit, but the v0.14 update is in fact coming along pretty well. The systems I need are more or less in place, I'm just doing a ton of writing. I wasn't happy with some of the stuff I wrote specifically for Charlotte's romance request and I think some of the new threesome scenes need to be fixed up; they're hot but a little hard to follow.
The story stuff itself...

Hex's sexual encounter system will be similar to Succubus Stories but with some major improvements. To make it easier to discuss, I will be comparing it to the encounter system in Succubus Stories and assume readers are familiar enough with this system to use it as a point of comparison. Let's first start with some stuff that isn't changing.
First, when you star...

A young woman is wringing her hands, staring at the half-burned trees before them. Half the forest was burned away, the smoldering remains are still smoking, sending black billows into the sky. It’s raining. Gemma herself conjured a gentle rainstorm to put out the fire. It smells like burning wood. Gemma liked that smell in warm inns but now it made...
