Lustful Illumination Kalyskah version 0.8.10
Kalyskah is an ancient vampire who has for centuries transmitted her arcane knowledge to a coven of very powerful witches, in order to form a group to maintain the balance between the elements. But their days of peace perished when Amara, the necromancer, for no apparent reason used the power of the Vicious Seed to curse the beautiful Evelyn, a witch who controls the element of earth. This transgression resulted in the expulsion of Amara, which in an impetus hate allied with an enemy whose name had been forgotten for centuries. Said enemy is Laver, Kalyskah’s brother in blood. He prepared a trap in the woods to catch the mages as they went on a journey to fix the only cauldron strong enough to withstand the power of the spell that would heal Evelyn. Highlights:Initial open-world release. We are blocking the available area to explore because the rest of the terrain is not done yet…. So, it wouldn’t make for sense if you went to the desert if you wouldn’t find anything but sand there =)We separated the armours into 5 slotsStarted to play around with a parrying system, but we had to change focus while doing it so for now… Press the right mouse button when you see an incoming attack and the enemy will be staged for 3 seconds. Visual and audio effects will be added in time.Combat is now more responsive, where characters take a step back if an attack is blocked.Weapon Scaling system addedManual saving game via slots instead of only checkpointsStarted to sketch the tendency systemImproved lipsyncStarted to add mechanics to the way erotic scenes play Fixes:Equipment that reduces attributes will now be displayed properlyFixed typo on toysystem animation menuFixed Partner weird rotations when they want to go back to their patrol position during an erotic sceneEnvironmental fixesThe sound that plays when you open a door is now 3d.Decreased the volume of footsteps sounds and made the sound options menu work for the dialogue lines tooFixed HUD intermittently showing upSave/load game will track the character gold coins amount (We don’t have a manual saving system yet, so you need to get the checkpoint at the entrance of the village to save your progress) Fixed Kalyskah and female NPCs breasts being pushed up depending on the armour they were wearing when a sex scene startedSlight code optimisation when the player changes equipmentThe amount of gold that you get from a chest will now be displayed properly when you hover your mouse on itFixed a problem that could cause Kalyskah to be teleported to the wrong part of the map in case she died after loading a game, but before passing through a new checkpointFixed a problem that was making saving more than 1000 experience points being loaded without 3 decimal places;Fixed sucking blood from dead enemies;Added a chest with the Karnstein legion armour back to the dungeon;Removed Stairwell keyEnhancement:Gameplay: Mist and Dash are now on different keys so it is always available during combatBalancing: Slightly reduced the amount of undead at the dungeonBalancing: Humanoid enemies are a bit smarter now and will change their guard to the direction of your hit to avoid getting hit twice on the same direction.Balancing: Because of the change we did above, you can now change your guard direction at the last half of your attack animation so you can chain combos through different directions a bit easier, or block one incoming attack. This should make the combat feel a bit slower since you might get staged and punished if you spam attacks.NPCs can now open doors… Yeah, don’t shut the door at the undead while he follows you or you will get in trouble!Improved collision on every one-handed swordAdded a fade in\out effect to avoid the player seeing Kalyskah while she loads her equipment and is spawned on the checkpointCamera no longer pan around the level while the game loadsHUD: Made the text on Health, Experience and Rigor Mortis (Stamina), white and added a black outline. So now you will be able to see the text-independent on how bright the background isHUD: Added tooltips on the attributes if you hover them with your mouseImprovements on Merishya’s tail Merishya will now move her tail to the sides when she idle. Merishya’s tail should no longer flicker. Merishya’s tail now blends physics with animation, that means that the movement when she walks is now way smoother.Improved game logoThe same key that opens the inventory now opens the equipment as wellWe are slowly changing the logic of our ‘toy-system’, and the characters should now be aligned properly during the sex scenes because there is a new function on the backend to make sure that they will snap to each other.Changed the way Kalyskah undresses herself during the sex scenes: Now the clothes will go to her inventory instead of just being hidden during the animation. This is the beginning of a new feature that we are planning to add, where the player will manually undress Kalyskah when the scene starts in order to have access to certain poses. Hair shouldn’t shine as much as it was before and should be slightly more optimizedKalyskah’s eyes now glow a little bit more when they turn red due to the lack of bloodImproved transitions on the ‘toysystem’ (sex animations) in a way that they start with Kaly holding hands and then you can move on to the others (the missionary don’t have a transition yet)Improvements in the boss areaAdded some water flowing sounds to the places that you can find water at the dungeon, so this might help on the immersionEnding the sex animation will go to the blowjob climax placeholder animation (the subtitles are wrong, but we will fix this eventually)Many improvements on the back-end code and how actors generate their appearanceUndead will now have random skin-colours, the female will generate random cloth pieces(giving them more variation)Improved loot from NPCsTweaks on the effects when Kalyskah jumpsMoved many lootable objects to another place. The ‘secret box’ with Merishya’s armour will now have the ‘skimpy version’. Merishya’s modest armour and belt will be found somewhere on the open world in the future after we are done with a quest that she can give.Changed the balancing of enemies so they start with more health but don’t increase as much as it was before on the higher difficulty levelsHud now shows the health points, armour, damage, blood points and blood efficiency properlySome rats have been added to the dungeon. They should give Kalyskah more blood points so she can activate the blood buff more often.Now Kalyskah health will increase according to her Vigor, instead of strength.We turned the Texture Streaming on. This should improve the performance of some PCs. But it requires 4gb of memoryChanged text on the pause menu, so now we have “Main Menu” written where it was “New Game” beforeSmoother combat camera and target acquisition Improved Kalysakah’s default and the short curly hairstylesImproved the way characters can change their postures and facial expressions while in dialogueLipsync is now pre-processed instead of made in real-time based on the subtitles like it was before. So now Kalyskah will actually stop moving her mouth and move it again based on the audio and not on the text. Improved character creation camera controls. It won’t go up and down based on the options you are selecting, but you can now manually set the zoom, the height and also Kalyskah’s rotationStarted to work on what will be the tutorial of the game. For now, the game pauses and explains how the combat works before you fight Michael. To open his door, you know need to defeat him.”Press E to Consume” is now displayed when Kalyskah is sneaking behind humanoid enemies. This will help people to know how biting mechanics work.Removed the barrel’s puzzle at the dungeonFixed checkpoint on the dungeon that was making the player load inside of a pillarFeatures:Fara, the Blacksmith, will now be able to buy items and to sell the Falchion and Estoc, weapons that can only be got by loot on the dungeon. (Notice that we haven’t introduced job yet, so the only way to get gold at the moment is by selling your items or looting if from the chests at the dungeon or by making a small quest that Fara gives)New weapon: Falchion. There is only one NPC that can drop it on the dungeon, and it has 10% of chance… but don’t worry, if you can’t get it from him, you can buy it from Fara2 new sets of armour: Leather and Seekers! (Leather armour can be bought from Fara after you finish a quest. Seekers armour can’t be got yet. There will be a quest in the future)Don’t try to break into a private home if the NPC left the door open, Kalyskah will be pushed back and say that she needs an invite to get in.Added a new window, Journal, press J to open it. There you can track your active quests and If you go to the Statistics tab you can see the number of partners Kalyskah had as well.Once per day, Kalyskah can get blood bags that restore 200 of her health from the nurse Jessie Sawmill. A clock appears on the HUD when you reach the open world Introduced an Item Tag system. In the future, the way you are dressed will change how some people react to you.Made quests to guide the player out of the dungeon.On the open world, Kalyskah can take sunlight damage when she is visibly thirsty (With red eyes and pale skin) or not inside of a dialogue. The player will also have a few minutes after sunrise to find shelter since the sun damage doesn’t start immediately after sunset. (It takes a little bit of time until it becomes harming to her) Kalyskah tries to cover her eyes when she is taking sunlight damageKalyskah can feed on rats and other small animals that she can grabAdded several NPCs that have a ‘day cycle’, working during some hours, roaming through the village for a while and then sleeping…New enemy: BearNew enemy: WolfNew weapon: Iron sword New “weapon”: Torch… Eventually, Kalyskah will not be going to need it, when we add the night vision. But the torch is handy during some part of the night that the landscape can get almost pitch black if you are in the woods on an area that the moon can’t lit.Blood Buff rework and introduced Blood Efficiency system: Blood buff should now always take 30 seconds to recover Kalyskah up to full health if she doesn’t have any health points. But since now we improved the scaling of health points based on her Vigor, the cost of the blood buff also increases with this attribute. But the sorcery attribute decreases its cost. So, the higher your sorcery is compared to your Vigor, the higher is your blood efficiency, so you will be able to sustain the blood buff for longer. With that in mind, we will start to introduce a lot of enhancements that other attributes will do on the blood buff as well.We started to add controller support. We will explain the commands and give more details when it is 100% implemented. But for now, it is now possible to walk and fight and play with the controller. Press LB to lock a target, B to active the blood buff and RT to attack if you want to try it out. To change the guard direction, you should move the right analogic. Completely revamp of the save\load system: Now you will have to save slots and will be able to delete, overwrite and load them. Checkpoints will be saved on an ‘autosave’ slot and the “quicksave” option on the menu will save on the same autosave slot. This will be a lot helpful when we introduce quests with different outcomes, so you will be able to save your progress and then go back to test all the possible branches! Notice that when you save a slot, you are also saving Kalyskah’s appearance, but don’t worry, you can always go to the main menu, change her appearance and then load the slot you want to apply the changes there =)New Hairstyle for some of the male character (Thanks Mélanie Laurain!)A new variation of Kalyskah’s hair was she can be with or without the bangs on the foreheadSecond Chance system overhaul:When falling in combat against the undead, the player now has 3 options:Taunt the enemy and try to kill him (Difficulty 15)Use sorcery to dispel the magic that is taking control of their mind (Difficulty 12) if the roll is succeeded, the player will be able to either seduce the enemy (difficulty 12) or use charisma to let him go (difficulty 8).The options are based on dice rolls, which are influenced by the player’s attributes and the way Kalyskah is dressing (It’s easier to taunt if she is menacing, but harder if she enticing. And it’s easier to seduce if she is enticing or showing some skin).The flow of the second chance dialogue has also been changed and a few more lines have been added. Please, let us know what you think about the rolling based on d20 RPG systems because we are discussing internally if it’s worth it or not, and your feedback will help us to see if you liked it or not.Erotic animations rework (WIP):We added stamina and an arousal meter, where the stamina is slowly drained with time while the arousal raises when the characters are interacting with each other. Kalyskah fails if the characters on the scene lose their interest or get tired before reaching climax. There is an option to ask to ‘have a break’, which will cause the intercourse to stop and give both characters time to catch their breath, recovering their stamina bar while the arousal drops. Actions can be performed and they will raise the arousal faster, but also drains a bigger part of the stamina. Changing poses will also have a cost on the stamina. We haven’t added new poses based on player attributes or different interactions for this patch, although it won’t take too long for us to expand this since now, we have a new animator.The erotic scenes on this demo are not on their final version yet. In the future, the game will feature two types of erotic encounters:The modular and the story-driven ones. The modular are the ones from jobs like the courtesan or the ones that can be triggered on world events Those will use the system that we are experimenting and described above. The story-driven ones are not implemented in this version yet, but they will be more cinematographic and give the player choices of how Kalyskah can behave without all this interface and mechanics involved. To make it easier to picture, they will have camera and lights working more like the erotic scenes on Mass Effect or Witcher series, but with the player being able to control Kalyskah as if she was in a “dialogue with choices” … And with the twist that on our game we are actually showing the action ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)New Poses: Holding hands, Deep throat, Kalyskah touching herself while giving a blowjob, all with interactions where Kalyskah can either be active or passive (Although the passive animation system has not been implemented yet). Many neutral poses and transitions were added as well.Reduced all those choices of poses and (cringe) things that Kalyskah could say before starting a sex scene to just one, that will start the new toysytem. Notice that the lesbian and splitroast scenes haven’t been tweaked yet. They won’t break the game, but they are not working as intended yet.
