Finally made it, we're on version 0.3.0! Thanks a lot for your immense patience, I was getting tired myself about the story not moving forwards, so I don't even want to imagine how slow it must have been for someone who wanted progress but wasn't working on the game.
Anyway, today's update brings three new story scenes, one of them progressing the main story, and another one with a couple...
2021-07-16 15:29:05 +0000 UTC View PostToday I bring you an early, shorter update with the base code required to implement the features coming in the following versions. This version starts at the Quickstarts passage, and has a few buttons for you to add extra characters to the main game loop: Artume, Warmest Hope, Sturdiest Rock, and randomly generated characters of a specified gender. Because the content added wouldn't be availabl...
2021-07-03 11:06:44 +0000 UTC View PostAn earlier, shorter update that adds the features mentioned in the previous post. This version starts at the Quickstarts passage, allowing you to try them despite not being implemented in the actual game yet. More info on the changelog.
Update B (07/05): Solved issue that could provoke a crash related to chastity devices.
2021-07-03 10:57:18 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone! Version 0.3.0 is right around the corner, so I'd like to comment what's planned for the following versions. I've also just released a patch for version 0.2.11 - these usually just contain some bug fixes, but since this one also had some QoL improvements requested by the community I'll mention it in a public post as well.
Between version 0.3.0 and 0.4.0, I'll be adding the...

... 2021-06-18 14:22:10 +0000 UTC View PostSo far it looks like the problems I mentioned earlier are regressing to a more manageable degree, and I'll be trying to resume work in the following days.
On a note more related to the game, something I was preparing before the pause was a rework of the NPCs' sex preferences: which characters prefer to banter, to do some foreplay, to be more sadistic and so on, and how this relates to the...
2021-05-29 09:47:58 +0000 UTC View PostFirst and foremost: I'm suspending Patreon payments for the next month and extending the subscription of current patrons. This means that patrons who have been charged or have paid during May will not be charged for June, and their subscription will be extended for 30 extra days. This is because events that escape my control are currently making me unable to focus or work for any extended perio...

2021-05-07 09:49:30 +0000 UTC View PostAs you know, I'm currently in the process of adding a few finishing touches to the main game loop, mainly by adding features and changes that have been suggested and requested by the community, and I'll hopefully be finished with it in two updates at most. You can find a non-exhaustive list of these planned changes in the game's Discord channel, in the suggestions section.
Once that's fin...
2021-04-16 15:29:27 +0000 UTC View PostToday's update brings the repeatedly requested generic dialogues for NPCs in the main game loop: they will now use lines for sex scenes, when initiating assaults, challenges and conversations, and in a couple extra instances. Other changes are further development of virginities, mind-blowing orgasms, taunts, a couple of battle actions, a new unused portrait and several other changes.

On January of the past year, I began redacting the first design guidelines and goals of Unholy Arts. A few months earlier, I had been shuffling different ideas for an adult game that focused on the simulation and development of Non Player Characters over long periods of time. The initial idea involved only two characters: the PC and a NPC that decided to spice their life as roommates by competi...
2021-02-02 03:56:51 +0000 UTC View PostI've collected a few design docs from the early stages of the game, for those of you who are curious. A fair amount of the features or the content mentioned received some modifications or twists over time. I've excluded a few documents that may include parts of the story that haven't been revealed yet.
2021-02-02 03:22:16 +0000 UTC View PostI'm currently coding the backbone code for equipment, which will include weapons and bondage.
Either version 0.2.6 or 0.2.7 will include chastity belts, cages and ruined orgasms, which may be disabled in the settings. Should this content be enabled or disabled by default?

I've just replaced version 0.2.4 with 0.2.4b, which fixes a crash that used to take place whenever a NPC prompted the player to follow them. Thanks to dark_dragon for reporting the error this fast!
2021-01-02 01:53:54 +0000 UTC View PostToday's update brings a new story scene and a few new mechanics, such as character drives and desire/willpower checks to be able to reject proposals during socialization.
