A Struggle with Sin [v0.5.9.6]

v0.5.9.6 (Winterhowl Special 2024)
In the end it wasn’t possible without some crunch on the finishline, but it was definitly worth it! In the last hour I added another animation which I just HAD to add… totally worth sleeping one less hour for it.  – In case you wonder, yes the title image has nothing to do with the current scene, that’s from Athia’s christmas special 2022.

Ok I’m not going to spoil anything about the scene other than you already know… Only that to start the little quest you must have had Sex with Helena and Yasmine then the quest should start when you are in Arenfield and it is either December ingame or December in Real life (so just now). The scene has a repeatable option, but it currently isn’t available as a dream scene… I might add that in the future, but for now it isn’t planned. Krampus now also has a new reward if you haven’t slayn him this year already (If you did you must pass another ingame year to kill him again).

v0.5.9.5

• New Flail and Club weapons that you can craft starting at iron
• New weapon animations for all weapons (will only show for newly gathered weapons after this update, you can use the bow&arrow north of Arenfield to update your gear)
• Expanded the scene with Bianca in Arenfield with 4 animations (more about that at the end of this post)
• A new quest will begin after you completed the rescue mission in the mine. If you complete that quest after this update 1 week must pass before you can trigger it, for everyone who already did it the only condition is that you have at least 1 mercenary stationed at the mine. Then visit your camp, Lyvia has to be there to give you a briefing.
• New content for Gavina, will only trigger after you reached the deeper mine and you must have completed all of her previous progression (up to completing her anal training quest).
• New gear and new enemies (During my tests I noticed that on the higher level which the goblins can have the damage calculation is really really off. This is something I will work on in the next days so that the fight’s don’t take that long!)
• Rework of Lyvia’s and Bianca’s dialog images + Made combat sprites for Bianca, Bianca can now join your group in the mine and has some (almost overpowered) new skills that I made for her.
• New characters with sprites & dialog images
• 1 new map
• 1 adjusted and 1 new defeat scene for the mine with the goblins.
• New music (I still have an earworm)
• In total ~880 New/reworked images in this update (Some more transition and nonesex animations)
• Smaller changes: You can now convince Nyra to help you with Umah even if she isn’t your wanita, Corven will now let you learn skills (like building traps) even if you didn’t complete Arianna’s quest.
• A lot of bugfixes! Thank you all again for the reports… I still have some more reports pending in my pm’s that I couldn’t all work on, but I will go through them in the coming days.

v0.5.9.1
New animations and interactions with Lilly
Smaller changes and bugfixes

v0.5.9.0:
fixed: Kicking out Henry freezes the game, Dialog at Penny’s table got disabled after completing the quest, Entering coldstone 2nd floor causes getting stuck, Coldstone estate map freezing during day (after talking to farmers), Entering the barn is impossible if not progressed Kate’s story, Problems with Dave & Penny’s scene (involving Henry), typos and other smaller problems;
Added: Alternative dialog when renovating the MC’s house after doing Penny’s quest (before interaction with Emily happened). – Big thanks to marniakeur and the others who reported these bugs!

v0.5.8.7
it’s gotten again late, but now Ophilia’s scene is finally done!

This one has really cost me some nerves. Kate’s drinking event needed several changes for this scene to properly work. I have also been working on an additional scene with Rick & Ophilia that originally wasn’t planned – But during my work on the scene I decided that without it something would be missing in the buildup, so I added it. To trigger the new content you have to play Kate’s serving game in the tavern. If Ophilia is serving there as well and the MC has progressed with her up to the current end of her story. You can call her over for a drink, Rick or the MC can then pay and give her a tip – For Rick this will require some getting to know before she sits down (not possible in ntr off mode). If she sits with the MC and Rick until the end of the evening she will be drunk and either the MC or MC & Rick will have to bring her upstairs.
A little bit of progressing is necessary to see all scenes, but I will leave the exploring part to you. 

On top of the bonus scene I also finally added Ophilias dream scene! It has a few variations and has a random chance to play with different corruption states or drunken/not drunken. It will get available after you progressed Ophilia up to the point where she changes her looks.
The scene at the huntinground has gotten a small update (Tia & Orcs) also finally fixed the animation… Sorry, wasn’t aware it was broken until I played it through.
Also fixed the MC’s jerk off scene with Tia in the mine… the scene still has grass on all areas, and looking at the prevote on discord this won’t change anytime soon… well maybe when I get too frustrated by i

v0.5.8.6 Test
•Maps: Reworked the Deep forest map, added 3 more maps which can be found Southeast of Arenfield (leave downhill next to the waterfall).
•Continuation of Penny’s quest with new animations and scenes for her. (~700 images)
•Rebalance of some of the item prices. Penny will now also sell roosters if there is more than 1 in the chickencoop as well as eggs if there are more than 10. As part of the quest she will also have cows that can get pregnant and that will produce milk which is currently only used to boost Penny’s income. The mill will also produce flour which Penny will bake into breads (The mill produces 2 flour per day and Penny can bake max 3 bread per day)
•Penny will also have to pay taxes now, there is a possible interaction with Dave, can be prevented by either making sure Penny has enough money (you can now also put gold into her lockbox) or by interacting with Dave directly when he collects the taxes. The tax collection will only begin after the quest has progressed to that point. there is also an additional quest that shows how many days are left until the next payment. (for the future I plan to replace this with an overview screen, but for now that would be overkill in terms of workload)
•A new named merc at the camp that allows you to recruit mercenaries directly. He will come to your camp after you lost the first merc in any way. After that you can of course also send him off, in that case he won’t show off again.
•Bugfixes! (For details check the discord channel) As always a big thanks to all of you for the reports!

Hotfix 0.5.8.5a
Fixed an endless loop with Hiba&Tomak, Fixed chicken coop, Fixed bug with Gwen’s sexscene getting stuck, Fixed no choices when spying on Mira

Hotfix 0.5.8.5
Fixed image stuttering for the Hiba/Dasan BJ scene, Added: The transition with Penny to the Coldstone estate is now longer so that the player knows where it actually is.

v0.5.8.5

• Complete rework of Ayita’s content. Reworked all animations, added additional animations where they were missing + reworked her sprites and dialog images. + Continued her story up to the point where she is claimable (only on non Dasan route and only if women aren’t free for all men)
• Added a love route for Hiba (alternatively to her corruption route, after raising her affection to 3 interact with her at the fire in the evening) + reworked her dialog images
• 3some scene with Ayita & Hiba (dialog for this one came a bit short, I’m sorry for that, and it will be expanded in the future, but right now I really wanted a closure)
• New animation for Tia at the fire (I couldn’t resist, it felt so bad that you would only be able to call her over just so you could say goodnight)
• Complete rework of the Firescene in general, the way the scene was before didn’t work with the new features it now has. But that is something you will see for yourself
• All other interactions between women and other men near the fire are now animated (Hiba/Tomak, Ayita/Dasan, Tia/Dasan. You can now also watch them while sitting at the fire in the evening
• Added a small animation for Hiba/Dasan (BJ scene without background).
• All together the bonus scene had 1645 new images.
• Rework of some of Penny’s early dialog and events. Added new animations to some of the existing events (no rework of old animations) – It’s now also finally possible to have vaginal sex with her in the masturbate event.
• New Quest for Penny, will begin in the middle of her normal progression (can also be started afterwards by talking to her when she is on the field)
• Added some a new scene for her in the morning (you must complete her new quest up to the point where you get the reminder that the rest will come in 0.5.9.0 and then stay the night in her bed, this is now also possible on the Henry route). (in total 530 new images)
• 1 new scene with Henry & Penny
• 3 new characters with sprites and dialog images, more to come for them in 0.5.9.0
• 2 new maps (to the south of the fields map)
• Traps can now also catch chicken and rooster (can be put into the chicken coop, after you built it) – for chicken to hatch you need at least 1 chicken and 1 rooster in the chicken coop. Chicken will lay eggs every day with a certain chance. This will require some more balancing in the future.
• New icons for the time of day. They have also been added to the waiting menu to make it more intuitive.
• Another round of bugfixes, again thank you for all the reports! (for details on this check the bugreport channel on discord)

And that should be it… I hope I didn’t forget anything important…

v0.5.8.0
Good morning,
feels like we had this recently already… right, same as last week.
I’ve decided to make this update not only so that you can see what I’ve done over the past week but also so that those of you who want can help me smooth out problems that will probably still be in this version. I’ve been running tests over the past 2 hours, but I didn’t test out every decision along the way of the sharing route for Claire and Bjorn.
For those of you unaware how to trigger this content at all I’ll write a short how to at the bottom of this post. For those who aren’t into sharing at all I’ve added a new animation for Claire in the MC’s bedroom.
So (very) short changelog:
Continued content for the sharing route for Claire & Bjorn (4 animations)
New animation in the MC’s bedroom (2 animations)
You can now sort relations alphabetical in the relations window (if it doesn’t work when pressing R you must open it through the menu (esc-> relations))
At the monastery storyline it is now possible to ally with Syfa and betray (imprison/banish) her in the end (this allows you to corrupt the other priestesses)
bugfixes, thanks for all the reports! (see discord bugreport channel)
Now short about how to trigger the sharing content:
In the morning talk to Bjorn and Carmen in the tavern, this will cause Bjorn to go upstairs. After that have sex with Claire in the hallway, this will draw Bjorn’s attention (since he is upstairs). Now to continue you must lose more than 3 gold to him in poker/Blackjack then he will ask you to take Claire to his bedroom. Follow the dialogue from there (there is no questlog for this).

v0.5.7.5

• Gavina’s bonus scene (in case you haven’t played it already)
• Dream system to replay scenes that became unavailable (Only scenes you have activated are available, currently there are 4: 2 for Emily (ntr with bandits, Marcus/Emily); 1 Imawyn in cell, 1 Gavina&Bianca + Tia&Lyvia with goblins) – Next on the to do list is Ophilia when she was drunk (will be added in 0.5.8.0)
• Rework of Toren, Odric & Kyle + their scenes and other images
• 3 new maps (+ 1 for transition but that doesn’t really count)
• New character sprites & dialoge images for Kate, Claire, Carmen and Bjorn
• 1 scene for Kate & Claire (5 animations + transitions)
• 1 small scene for Carmen & Bjorn (1 animation)
• A lot of bugfixes. Again a big thank you to all of you! I got a lot of pm’s and reports on discord and I fixed things like Tia never confronting Katherin about MC and her having sex (can be triggered during dinner at Katherin’s); Emily could get stuck in progression if you never rescued her from bandit camp but then captured Imawyn (now there is a new dialoge in which she is happy about the news that Imawyn got captured, this will also unstuck the quest should it be at that state) + many other smaller and bigger things that I can’t recall all.

v0.5.6.8
N/A

0.5.6.7b
N/A

v0.5.6.6a

• Emily’s relationship is now optional (you can reject her offer the first time she invites you into her bed)
• Tia and Claire now have a quest which will guide you through their early stages (For Tia after you got the quest from Emily, for Claire it will start after you either talk to Thomas about getting a room or the next morning when Claire and Thomas talk)
• The King will now visit Arenfield after 14 days even if you didn’t progress Frisha’s quest. If you progress her quest he might come earlier
• I reworked Early images of Claire (Lifted at the wall, she also got another angle for that, and the HJ scene) I’m not done with Claire, the missing animations near Kate and BJ are already done but need to be edited. You can now also wake up Claire in the night if you already had sex with her. If she has 5C+ she is also willing to have sex even if Kate isn’t drunk
• Smaller balance changes, you can still replace your equipment at the darkwood (see the info at the 0.5.6.5 release)
• The Rumah timetable changes as mentioned before, Some new movement routes for Tia/Hiba/Raaisha/Ayita. If Tia is Dasan’s wanita she will now visit his tent every night should the MC not brought her into his hut/have her in grou

v0.5.6.0d
N/A

Hotfix 0.5.5.0a
N/A

Hotfix 0.5.4.6
Fixed an interaction bug that could get you stuck (choice window empty) after talking to some of the monks.

v0.5.4.6
It’s gotten late, but I managed to achieve all my goals for this update.
Well almost… originally I had plans to add in more interaction with Bridget. So the whole getting to know her better, gaining her favor and having sex with her. This is something I had to cut for now 

 It will of course be added with 0.5.5.0 but for now it would have been too much.
So let’s talk about what I did got in: (short changelog)
3 new maps + small modifications for the exisiting monastery maps
new daily routines for all the characters inside the monastery (including non character npc’s)
3 additional monk characters with dialogue images & sprites
New outfits (sprites and dialogue images) for Mira, Heather & Bridget
The quest “Fighting Demons” can be continued for a few more steps (not completeable at the moment) – This is going to be my so far most complex quest. includes a lot of dialogue for all characters at the monastery
Animations: 1 for Heather, 2 for Bridget, 3 for Mira&Aidalin, 4+transitions for MC&Syfa
Bugfixes (everything that got reported + what I found while testing)

v0.5.4.1a
– Fixed a bug with Claire never forgiving the MC his marriage with Emily.

v0.5.4.1
– Fixed reported bugs (Lyvia joining group if she is in the middle of sex, problems which had nothing to do with the scene but other events, I added an animation for Lyvia&Katherin having sex while you fuck Tia at the same time. This can be triggered by visiting Katherin past 12pm if Lyvia visits her and Tia is in group or is already at home due to you entering Arenfield with her and then leaving again through the west.

v0.5.2.9a

• Tia’s quest can be somewhat completed (somewhat means there is still the reward part missing which I will add in 0.5.3.0 together with a final branch that is currently missing as well)
• New skills Tia can learn from Maui if she has a high enough level in Rumah.
• The bonus scene for Emily/Frisha/Mira
• 1 new map together with new climbing sprites for the Mc and partymembers.
• I added more animations for Tia & Katherin inside Katherin’s house (5 in total)
• 1 animation if you lose the fight agains orcs near the fortress

• New enemies of course (balancing might be necessary…looking for feedback!)

v0.5.2.0a

• New interaction for Tia at the camp (her tent is at the bottom left)
• 1 new animation for Lyvia in her tent (if you did her other content you can change position there), 1 new scene with Lyvia at the trainingfield (sharing)
• You can complete Lyvia’s quest around the Raven. (2 new maps)
• 1 reworked 2 new animations for Yasmine.
• Some new equipment, some new enemies…
• Bugfixes, everything you reported

v0.5.1.9

[*]New animations for the party and I extended the event by a lot
[*]New animations for Lyvia at her tent
[*]The MC can now learn to equip a sword by training with Lyvia
[*]You can gear up your mercs if John made armor for them, which you can pick it up at his smithy (interact with the camp on the Mercenary map)
[*]A new quest will start in Arenfield once you completed some requirements (Liandra’s story, Lyvia’s story)

v.0.5.1.0 – 2022-09-12
It’s now almost 3am Monday morning here (so you could say in the middle of the night) I’ve been working the whole weekend, morning till night to get this update done…

You might be wondering why I would do something that stupid and not take the time to rest a bit…The reason behind it is that I promised a friend to help him out on Monday and Tuesday, and yeah that of course means I can’t work on these days…
Because of that I decided to use the weekend to work so you don’t have to wait any longer for the update. But that also means that I won’t be able to make any changes to the game in the coming days (I won’t be home) So I’ve done what I could in terms of testing (and I was able to play through the content without problems) but if there are bugs I can’t fix them until I’m back home. And as much as I would like…The Walkthrough update also has to wait…I can barely keep my eyes open at this point.

But since I didn’t write a changelog in a while I’ll try to do that now, Since 0.5.0.0 this has changed:

Bonus scene Arianna & Kate (274 images)
Bonus scene Julia (344 images)
2 new maps
A bit of content for the Queens Maid (57 images)
A new quest for the Queen that can now be completed (427 images)
Bugfixes (as always) (there is still a problem that time freezes on Anya’s quest, a temporary solution to that is to lose a fight and then respawn in Mira’s room. after that it should work again) – If anyone finds out how this happens let me know!

P.S. if someone found bonus with ari&kate,explain how
