Memoirs of a Battle Brothel News

Hi everyone!

Here's a sneak peek for the update scheduled for the end of July. As usual, full changelog will be posted with the update.




The Bloody Hawk 4th quest

Shrike has gathered some additional clues, including a fresh lead on the Hawk. Meet new characters and (depending on your choices) an old one as well.

Iron and Velvet 4th quest

Iron Gregarion has another task for you: stealing the Seafoam Throne from another syndicate.

Amy Seagrave 2nd quest

You are cordially invited to Seagrave's posh penthouse, and as expected, she has a favor to ask.


Relationships

A true relationship mechanic is something I've been working on for some time now and I'm sure that many people will be happy that it's finally coming to the game. For now, the mechanic only deals with your 9 companions. After successfully romancing a companion (usually indicated by having sex with them), there'll be a dialogue option to choose what type of relationship you want to enter with them. There will be three options, and not all companions will have access to all three: Closed/Exclusive, Open, and Harem.

Closed relationships:
Standard, monogamous relationship. Some companions (Zafra, Diana, Jasen) will only agree to this type of relationship. If you have sex with another character, and your current partner finds out about it, they'll likely break up with you the next time you talk to them. Closed relationships are available to all companions.

Open relationships:
In an open relationship, the player is able to pursue other characters, and so is your partner. Some characters, such as Thassia, will prefer this as they as still very much active as a courtesan. Having sex with other characters will not be considered cheating and you can have more than one open relationship.

Harem:
The harem option is a one-sided open relationship. The player can pursue other characters, but your partners will not. Players also need a relatively high trust value to unlock this. Otherwise, it's the same as open relationships.

Breaking up: You can leave your partner at any time, although breaking up will incur a large trust penalty.

Cheating: Having sex with other characters while in a closed relationship may lead to a break up and also a very large trust penalty.

Changing relationship type: With some companions, you will have the option to change the type of relationship you have, such as going from open to closed.


New music
I will be adding some new looping tracks to the game, including more synth tracks by Isidor.

Hi everyone! Version 0.19.2 is now live!

Full changelog as follows below.

[h2]Over 50 (!) new animations[/h2]

This is a tremendous amount of work, but I was able to add over 50 new sex animations into the game (although some are just variations of faces).

At the start of dev I had planned on staying just with the pixel-art due to time constraints (new animations are a lot of work, sometimes the majority of work for adult games). However, due to the large demand for line-art animations, I decided to add some as a bonus, and will be continuing to add them depending on reception.

For those of you who prefer the pixel-art animations, don’t worry, those are not going anywhere. My plan moving forward is to keep the pixel-art animations as essentially the “story mode” of sexual encounters, while the new line-art animations will be “free mode.”

Most or all romanceable characters will have at least one “story-mode” scene that serves as the player’s first sexual encounter with them. After that, the new line-art animations will be unlocked.

Scenes added in this upcoming update:

For Kore, Kaywin, Thassia

• Giving Handjob x3 (Male PC only)
  
• Giving Blowjob x4 (Male PC only)
  
• Doggy x4
  
• Missionary x4
  
• Receiving Oral x3
  
• Side by side x4
  
• Titfuck x 4 (Male PC only)
  

Hatsuo

• Receiving Oral x4
  
• Lap sex x4
  
• Giving Oral x 3 (Female PC only, for now)
  

(Keep in mind that Kaywin is hetrosexual, so she will continue to turn down female PCs. Everyone else in this update is bisexual.)

What’s different in the new animations?

Well, you’ll soon find out, but if you’ve played a sex/h-game before, you won’t be surprised. Unlike the pixel-art animations, the new animations are a notable detour from the current art style, and to aid in speed (so these updates don’t take months) they will be in black and white with some other minor shortcuts. With that being said, I’d like to thank TORii, a self-taught animator, for providing the new sets. Please let us know what you think of the animations so we can better our craft.

You can access the new animations/Free Mode by having completed at least one story sexual encounter with that companion, and also being able to take them up to a room (so after the initial series of quests).

[h2]Lore books [/h2]

Those who played my last game may be surprised by the lack of lore books and other documentation, but that is coming to a close. I am adding a new care package in the player’s room at the guild hall that will shed some more light on the Guild as well as the city’s other prominent factions. Another basic lore package can be found at Pike's Library, an overworld location that opens up once the player has reached 20 Esteem. Talking to Pike a second time will unlock a "books" option.

In future updates, lore books will be purchasable at Pike’s Library.

Books can be read in your "Journal" in the main menu.

[h2]Television[/h2]

I’m also adding in a television that the player can interact with to learn more of the world and MoonFall. Just to help with immersion. One has been added to the player's room, and one in the garage.

The television is mostly text (I wish I had the money to commission GTA-style cartoons, that would be wonderful), and will give the player some "current events" background. Once we move into Act II, the player's actions may alter what is reported on the news.

[h2]New Steam trading cards[/h2]

We've finally added a smattering of trading cards, as I know some of you have been asking for them since the beginning of dev. Will think about adding more as development continues.

[h2]Expanded player's private room and Diana's room[/h2]

Mostly to fit the television and a few other things. Added an option to wash up in your bathroom (hard to see in isometric mode).

[h2]Bugfixes[/h2]

Due to a technical issue, I had to revert most of my bugfixes for this update, but look for a patch soon.

Hi everyone! This month’s update includes the long-anticipated new sex scenes, lore books, and interactable televisions (more on that later). Expect the update to drop sometime next week.

New sex animations

The new sex animations comprise the bulk of this update, and I’m adding a lot. At the start of dev I had planned on staying just with the pixel-art due to time constraints (new animations are a lot of work, sometimes the majority of work for adult games). However, due to the large demand for line-art animations, I decided to add some as a bonus, and will be continuing to add them depending on reception.

• Doggy x4
  
• Missionary x4
  
• Receiving Oral x3
  
• Side by side x4
  
• Titfuck x 4 (Male PC only)
  

Hatsuo

• Receiving Oral x5
  
• Lap sex x4
  
• Giving Oral x 4 (Female PC only, for now)
  

(Keep in mind that Kaywin is hetrosexual, so she will continue to turn down female PCs. Everyone else in this update is bisexual.)
