Hex: Encounter Cut-Ins

When you perform a move, a cut-in will appear displaying that action. This cut-in will lay over the normal CG, and last throughout the text description of the player's action, before being removed when the partner's action starts. Each action will get a unique cut-in. For now, for the next update, we're just doing blowjobs and we will re-use CG art for some of these, but we plan to do this for ...

Hex might need a subtitle or something

I personally love the simplicity and shortness of the title "Hex," but it will probably cause issues. For one, three letters is really too short to have good SEO, meaning the game will be hard to find without modifying the search. Just googling "Hex" or even "Hex game" probably won't work. I think this could be solved by one of two things: an adjective preceding the word Hex, or a subtitle.&nbs...

Looks like a Hex update is next, then!

By an overwhelming majority, people agreed I should just save the additional content I didn't quite finish for v0.14.3 for v0.15, so that's what I'll do. The next thing I'll release is an update for the Hex alpha. This update will add a new story quest, some new NPC interactions, a new spell school for combat, and some other stuff. Don't expect it to be as big as a Succubus Stories upd...

Incubus Stories - The Cutting Room Floor

You guys liked it! Or at least liked it enough, so I'll make the cutting room floor a regular feature around here, at least until I run out of stuff to talk about.

Before I settled on basically anything in the game, I was actually going to allow players to select between playing as a male or a female. When I was first conceiving of the game, the player was actually going to be, for lack o...

New CGs

Pictured is one of the two new CGs from v0.14.3. To see it in-game, do a group scene in the barracks. Feel free to leave opinions on the new CGs here in this post. 

I think the new art is super hot objectively, but it's also a totally different style. It's totally ok not to like the style as much or to think it clashes, even though I think you'll agree the art is good in its own righ...

And so ends the Windows Defender saga.

Ever a brave warrior, Windows Defender has boldly fought Succubus Stories to a standstill, however, realizing his mistake, he has retreated back to his cave to re-emerge when next we need him.

Salute the brave blind defender as he meanders back to his home, neither victorious nor defeated, but merely sated for battle for now.

O, great defender, when shall thou grant us thy strength ...

Windows Defender is probably just dumb.

I'll let you make your own security decisions, but here's VirusTotal's analysis. You can see Windows Defender out on its own in the yard staring directly into the sun while pissing itself.

I submitted the executable to our lord and savior Microsoft to beg them to stop making me look bad, so we'll see if our corporate overlords have mercy on me or not.

Rais's other two dates...

Should we do another patch in the next week or so, or should I fold this content in to v0.15 (probably to release in September sometime)? If I do the patch I may add another activity or two, since I have two or three half done. Also note that I have plans to release an update to Hex next month as well, so a patch means potentially making that take longer (only a few days though).

Normally...

I am having an emergency

I haven't been home since I was chatting a bit on discord yesterday, and I don't know if I'll even get back home today. I have not been able to finish Rais's dates, which needed more work and additional testing.

I can't believe this is happening, I'm sorry. I will post the patch as soon as I can. It may be tonight or even in a few hours if I'm lucky, but Rais's date content will probably ...

Succubus Stories is shrinking.

As you may remember, when I initially released Hex there were issues with the browser version of the game because of its overall file size being over 500 MB. I basically axed down the game to fit it, and this is more or less the version of the game on the web now, though I did clean a few things up between the patreon release and the free release of the alpha. Anyway, I've been working...

Don't download anything from GameFabrique

It's come to my attention recently that Succubus Stories (and maybe Hex, too, I'm not sure) is listed for download on a website called GameFabrique. This is a pretty well-known scam site, and I'm certain any version of the game downloaded from there, if they even included the game at all, would be chock full of viruses, so please don't download anything from this website.

Butt stuff fun fact of the day

Did you know? (There's actually no possible way you could have.) Here's some SS butt sex facts for you:

Originally, I was going to have a soft requirement for lubrication of some kind to have anal sex in Succubus Stories. There were gonna be a few ways you could get one part or the other lubricated, and if you didn't, the result would be less pleasing sex and temporary...uh...low...

Lewd versions of the v0.14.3 patch artwork!

Here are lewd and nude versions of the patch artwork for your viewing pleasure!

Succubus Stories v0.14.3 will come out on July 25!

This patch will bring some new content revolving around lactation, including a new trait, NPC activity, encounter action, and potion. Some general updates and changes to the lactation gameplay systems are also included, some of which are pretty significant.

But that's not all, the update will come with five new outfits, including two that are coming to the free edition (plus a third outfi...

Behold the cursed knowledge I grant you, mortal.

The runes that scroll on the screen when Iris learns a new school of magic have a deep and special meaning. They say:

Sion, a man haunted by a tragic past. Within him lies strength and kindness, but also great sorrow. All this will change when he meets a girl named Dominique. These are the residents of DOG STREET.

I'll leave it to you to learn the true meaning of t...

SPIRIT

This is a concept sketch of Iris's spirit form. This may be seen in flashbacks and a few other, stranger parts of the story.

I've embedded an RSS feed from Itch.io on my personal website.

Since Twitter is now dead, I needed something else to put news on my website. In fact the only real reason I used Twitter was because it posted stuff to my website. It stopped working when this psycho rate limit stuff started happening on Twitter. It seems ...

The humble dairy cow in her natural habitat.

I feel like calling her a cow is mean. Literally the narration calls her a whore and slut (and worse) all the time but cow seems meaner somehow, lol. Anyway, she's a cute cowgirl, not a cow. And she's giving out free breastmilk samples to NPCs in v0.14.3!

But not like in the Activision way, dear god. Every time I think about breastmilk I think about that. Bobby Kotick almost ruined this f...

This is my favorite SFW webpage on the entire Internet.

And I don't know if I could tell you why, exactly. I just think it's really interesting, and I love reading up on the various bugs in these relatively simple games. Almost every bug is like a neat little window into the ways some overworked Square programmer's brain worked (or didn't). Like using the weapon's index by accident instead of the crit rate.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share. If...

Hex, but from an alternate universe.

I commissioned a few artists to draw concepts based on my specifications and descriptions, not just Ecchi. One such artists was Flem, who created these more elf-y concepts for Iris and Meila. I was initially drawn to Flem because I felt their a...

How your feedback will shape the future of Hex!

I've spent some time over the last few days going through the feedback I've received, both from the feedback form, and from various comments on the game. I think I have a good handle on how people feel about the game in general. The overwhelming majority of feedback has been positive, much of it very positive, which has been great to see.

In this post I want to go through some of the feed...

Succubus Stories - About v0.14.3 & v0.15

I'll be updating the task board soon, but here are the plans for the short- and mid-term future:

In v0.14.3, which will come out (hopefully) this month:

• Dates for Rais and Charlotte - a few each. I'm not sure how many, exactly. Priscilla has 6 right now, probably not that many. Probably like 3 or so each.
• New outfits (around 4-5 in total), plus some outfits will move ...

Hex: Yuri mode.

In the future, Hex will receive what I am tentatively calling "yuri mode." This will be a gameplay option that can only be set before starting a new game. You will still be able to have sex with whoever you want, but it will restructure a few gameplay systems to completely remove any need to have sex with men.

First, currently you unlock some lesbian sex moves with straight sex s...

Why deflection though?

In the face of an uncaring universe, many deep questions plague the human mind. Is this reality just a cruel joke? Or perhaps the machinations of a capricious deity? Who are we, and what is our purpose? What happens after death? Why does Hex, a turn-based game, feature fucking Sekiro parries?

Okay, I'm giving myself a little too much credit comparing two circles trying to smooch each othe...

Iris undefined undefined...

I'm aware of a visual glitch when attacking with the dagger where the attack is reported as "Iris undefined undefined" where it should instead say "Iris attacked." I've fixed this in the game's source code so the next release will correct this. This is only a visual glitch in the game's combat reporter, the actual effects of the attacks in question should be unaffected.

I am also investig...

Warning: Contains explicit content.

Hi! Don't forget about the feedback form!

I just wanted to remind you that if you've played the alpha, your feedback is invaluable! The game is early enough that anything can really be changed, so now is the best time to get some feedback to help make Hex the best game it can be. 

We won't get a chance like this again. Once I start rolling out updates like I do with SS, that foundation will be too load-bearing to ch...
