Breeding Season Estrus

v0.1.4 Beta New systems - Your Estrians have things to say now. Use Speak on the ranch to hear how a mission really went, talk someone through a rough patch, or just pass the time. A first chat about something new costs a little energy and teaches a little something; idle conversation is always free. Convos are just placeholders for now. - Conversations: talking an Estrian through a debrief or a rough patch writes a new memory into their biography, worded by how the talk went. - Estrians now hold at most 3 skills. The cap only blocks picking up new skills: anything an Estrian already knows keeps leveling, and Estrians who arrive knowing more keep everything. The new Versatile trait raises the cap by one per stack, and the Academy warns you before you enroll someone who has no room to learn. - Cross-training in the pens now needs a more practiced partner: an Estrian only trains a skill toward levels below their partner's mastery, so higher skill levels have to enter your roster from missions, the Academy, or new recruits first. Mentors count as one level more practiced per Mentor stack. - The Allele Trader now moves skills, not just alleles. Spend Intel (25 per skill level) to take a skill off one Estrian and give it whole to another, or pay the same to remove it outright. A transferred skill carries one of the donor's memories along with it. - Trait unlocks are no longer random. Missions unlock traits in a set order (common traits first), and story missions will be able to promise specific traits. - Reward categories show on every mission, and a 15 Intel reveal buys the details: the exact Intel payout, which skill the mission trains, exactly which trait unlocks next, and what the reward Estrian rolls from. Missions with nothing extra to tell you do not offer the reveal. - Mission pages now have a header banner. Each mission gets its own art as it lands; until then you get a colored band unique to that mission. New content and art - 118 new pairing animations and 126 new pairing stills have landed since the last stable build, and 12 portraits got sharper re-renders. Far more breeding pairs now play a full clip instead of holding a pose. Still in the process of tweaking the animation pipeline and making it more consistent, but I've at least proven I can mass generate animations for unique pairings. - Saying yes to Dizzy at the end of the Tutorial now leads somewhere. The scene plays out properly instead of cutting straight to the map. It's still unfinished and animations will be added soon in the nightly release. - The first patron names are in the credits. Patrons who registered a credit name now roll in their tier block, and everyone aboard before the founding closed carries a founder mark. Register yours from the title screen's Patreon link. Fixes and polish - Scene and breeding animations now hand off cleanly. When a scene changes visuals or an intro rolls into its loop, the previous frame holds until the next one has actually drawn, so the wrong-pose and black flashes between clips are gone. - Scene intros and breeding climaxes now open on their own matching still instead of popping in over the wrong frame. - The map now fits every screen: all locations and missions stay on screen at every size, labels no longer clip or pile onto each other, and the main mission always reads clearly. - The Breeding Pens stand out on the map as the hub they are. v0.1.0 Beta - The Breeding System works. Traits, Skills, and Conditions are all operating exactly as intended. - The Mission System is complete, including special operations and the main story mission system. - Skills can be obtained through breeding, from missions, or through courses at the Academy. - Gene fusion for consolidating Estrians (two go in, one comes out improved). - The backbone of the main story is all in place: There's a little bit of story content, as well as a number of placeholder missions to test the story progression and mission system that will be fleshed out over time. - Every look in the starting roster and every starting pairing has an idle animation (many of them need a second pass, but it's a start!), currently femmes with dicks and mascs with vags don't have unique appearances or animations, but that's just a switch I will flip once the models are ready. - Every Estrian has a biography that chronicles all the offspring they've offsprung and the missions they've been on. I plan on expanding more on this to make your Estrians feel like real characters you care about. - There are only a handful of sex animations in the game currently, but I'm very happy with how they're turning out, and the next focus in development will be fleshing those out massively: the models have finally caught up with the task. Build - Plays fully in-browser. It's free, needs no account to play, and keeps saves per browser. - The game is fully playable on mobile. - Keyboard shortcuts on desktop: 1 to 7 for the tabs, N for a new day, L for the event log, B to breed. - A SFW mode toggle that hides explicit art. So you can fuck aliens in front of your boss. Note: UK Patrons will not be able to play the in-browser version due to geolocking (I'm not messing with ID laws). v0.0.1-prealpha2 Woof, well they say better late than never, right? Ran into a few good hours of build issues, but I got it all sorted out in the end. I have a feeling that this one will require some hotfixes, let me know what issues you all run into. This version has the most basic implementation of the mission system and save systems, as well as a handful of gameplay related traits for you all to play around with. Don't expect any balanced gameplay just yet, though much more of that should be coming by next month! v0.0.1 Initial Release
