Others Hex: Becoming a Succubus

Complete Changelog

(Patch) Bug fixes [Misc.] Fixed issue where certain goals were not completing properly. Content [Erotica]Added new activities to the Richdon location. Added a new activity: a real-time gameplay mode you can do at Richdon Port. Serve as a port wench and give the sex-starved sailors as many blowjobs as you can before you run out of energy! You can also unlock the ability to accept bukkakes from sailors (make your seaman jokes, I'll wait). This activity can be appended to the port wench activity or done separately once unlocked. [Cosmetics] New outfit: Astral Apparel. This outfit is tied to a skill and has a premium variant. Additions and enhancements [Combat]Added new mantras! [Niyama: Windless Sea] Allows you to equip a third spell school. (Very high MP reserve, though!) Received from Meila in the throne realm after meeting certain conditions. [Asana: Untouched Pasture] Boosts dagger damage based on the ratio of current MP to maximum MP. Received as a reward from Red Sand for reaching rank 3. [Skills]Some new skills have been added! Nightsea Radiance: Allows you to summon the Astral Apparel outfit when nude and dismiss it at will. Functionally the same as the existing Dryad's Vestments spell, but summons an elegant outfit rather than a slutty one. Spiritual Insemination: Most sex acts, including lesbian sex, can now result in pregnancy, though at a reduced rate compared to vaginal sex. [Encounter] Added new "personality" system to alter the dialogue from sex partners. For now, there are only two personality types: normal and shy, alongside some special interactions for partners under transformation effects (e.g., vicis). In the future, there will be even more personalities! Balance and progression [Combat]Adjusted lunar magic. While the damage of the school at higher expertise levels and in ideal conditions is slightly lower, the overall usability should be improved, and madness should now have a slightly more unique identity in your kit compared to lust. The expertise passives of the school have been shuffled around a bit. In addition to the below changes, the spell lunacy's damage also received a slight buff. Adjusted the base damage of all lunar magic spells. This is a slight damage nerf overall. Second expertise passive has been removed (originally this passive boosted damage bonus at night from +15% to +30%). Now damage is always boosted at a rate of +25% by default. The first expertise passive (boosts lunar magic damage based on rot stacks) was moved to the second expertise passive slot. A new first expertise passive has been added: "When madness causes an enemy to flinch, the caster regenerates a small amount of MP." The third passive, which grants the spell avelunacy a chance to add 20 bonus madness stacks, is unchanged. Further changes may be warranted, but for now I don't want to change too much at once. [Activities] Made a few adjustments to Red Sand progression and brothel mode's information gathering system. The base odds to receive information has been increased. The amount of information you have to gather to rank up has been halved. For ongoing saves, this should retroactively apply the next time you turn in information in the brothel's backroom. Technical [Engine] Created and shipped a Steam demo based on v0.2.3. The demo is now available on Hex's Steam page. The demo just covers the first part of the game up until you leave the village. Saves can be transferred from the demo into the full version, but not vice versa. For now, other than the overlay, no other Steam features are supported yet, but achievements are planned, and I want to try to work on cloud saves as well for the Steam Edition. Hex will release into Early Access on Steam sometime later this year or early next year. Wishlist it now!

(Hotfix) Bug fixes [Misc.] Fixed issue with failed load on Despoena cutscene after moving to the chapel. Balance and progression [Story] Adjusted the requirements to start the quest [Holy Magic Arc: Serpent's Spiral] to be more lax.

(Free Update) Bug fixes [Misc.] Fixed some minor bugs and typos. Additions and enhancements [Activities] Updated the brothel activity with new customers, additional scenes, and some fancy new progression elements! You now have a chance to gather leads and other information when successfully having interacting with brothel customers. You can gain access to the backroom at the brothel to sell this information! In a future version of the game, this progression will unlock its own unique set of quests and rewards!

- Serpent's Spiral Known Issues Spirit kin bulk release is buggy and skips several kin seemingly at random. Bug fixes [Interface] Fixed issue where plugin/mod menu was not showing file descriptions. [Combat] Fixed issue where defense interaction QTEs were sometimes not blocking hotkey interactions as intended. Fixed issue where after deflecting with the keyboard by pressing Space or K, you could then click to deflect again. Fixed possibility of QTE animations hanging in certain situations. [Misc.] Fixed issue with disappearing outfit list. Content [Story] Added the new quest: [Holy Magic Arc: Serpent's Spiral]. Complete [Holy Magic Arc: A Warm Welcome] and the "rough night" event with Lloyd, then speak to Lloyd to start this quest. [Locations] During the quest [Holy Magic Arc: Serpent's Spiral], you'll unlock the ability to freely travel to the port town of Richdon. This location will be further developed in the future, but there's nothing unique to do here yet. [Art]Added new art, sprites, and CGs! Added new CGs for various interactions with Despoena. Added new CGs for birth, breastfeeding, and bottle feeding spirit kin. Added new sprite parts for pregnancy, for Despoena, and for spirit kin. [Activities] Pregnancy, birth, and spirit kin systems added! You can learn the spell Matronalis which can be used to toggle Iris's fertility. Once fertile, Iris can then get pregnant by having vaginal sex with males. Her odds of getting pregnant are influenced by a variety of factors, including the time of the month (hint: check the moon). Once pregnant, she will carry a spirit kin to term and then birth it. Spirit kin can be interacted with in the throne realm. The new character Despoena can now live with you at the abandoned chapel if you meet certain conditions. You can reward or "correct" Des, and make her dress up as a maid or even do her work nude. Des has a special "obedience level" mechanic you can manage. [Erotica] Added scenes and art for pregnancy stages and birth, and for feeding and playing with spirit kin. Added various interactions and scenes for Despoena! Added new skits and events. [Cosmetics]New outfits. New outfit: Serpent's Garb and premium variant. This elegant outfit can be acquired during the quest [Holy Magic Arc: Serpent's Spiral]. New outfit: Dommy Duds. This dominatrix-style outfit can be purchased from the seamstress after you meet certain conditions. You can buy a maid outfit for Despoena at the seamstress if she joins you at the chapel. She will only wear it if she's obedient enough. Additions and enhancements [Combat] New enemies and bosses. [Skills]Added new skills, mostly related to the new pregnancy systems. Starsea Shower: Use the power of the primordial starsea to...wash splooge off. Matronalis: This spell toggles fertility, allowing Iris to get pregnant. Fertile Femme: Slightly increases the odds of pregnancy occurring when fertile. Fruitful Loins: Moderately increases the odds of pregnancy occurring when fertile. Broodmare: Dramatically increases the odds of pregnancy occurring when fertile. Speed Breeding: Shortens the time it takes a pregnancy to advance to each stage. [Interface]Some additions, changes, and QoL improvements. Adjusted the text color of Meila and the throne realm servant's dialogue to improve readability. Added a new section to the character status menu tab (hotkey: A) that shows various long term or ongoing statuses, like your level of cleanliness, your manner of dress, lactation, pregnancy, etc. Added key binds for the counter spell interaction. You can use either the number keys and numpad 1-5 (starting on the top left corner and going clockwise) or the keys A, S, D, X, and Z going in the same order. It may take a little getting used to, but it's something you can practice in the throne realm. You can see the key binds by pressing shift. You can also toggle them to always be visible in the settings. In exploration zones, locations you've been to before will be designated with a checkmark (✓). This only means you've been there before, it doesn't mean there might not be more to do in a given place. Balance and progression [Combat]Minor balance adjustments Made the counter spell interaction slightly easier by increasing the time limit for 4 and 5 sequence interactions. Adjusted the damage of some primal magic spells. Mostly they have been nerfed, though most are still about the same strength as before with proper aura management. [Progression] The level cap has been raised to 16. Technical [Engine]Various improvements and optimizations, as well as a few new features. Added the ability to zoom, scale, rotate, and animate CGs. This new feature is currently only used in some scenes in Despoena's interactions, but I'll use these features more going forward! Exposed more APIs to mods/plugins. Improved how audio is selected and loaded. Integrated the Steam SDK. A Steam version will certainly eventually be made, but I have no concrete plans right now. Mod support improvements. Added an "Asset Library" feature to the game's Scene Editor tool, but it's hidden for now and needs improvement, particularly in the executable build of the game. [Executable] Made adjustments to how the executable is generated.

(Premium Update) Bug fixes [Activities] Fixed issue where the player remained in a towel instead of getting dressed after seeing skits while bathing in the bathhouse. [Misc.] Fixed some typos and minor problems. Content [Story]Added two new quests! Added the new quest: [Sky Magic Arc: Stars of Fate]. Complete [Sky Magic Arc: Adjudicating Adjuncts], then go to your room at the inn in Ranbol after a few days to start it. Added the new quest: [Dryad Magic Arc: Darkness Taking Root]. Visit Casson's manor and go speak to him after completing [Lunar Magic Arc: Thorns of a Rose] and [Holy Magic Arc: A Warm Welcome] to start this quest. [Locations]A new world location has been added, and existing locations have been updated. During the quest [Sky Magic Arc: Stars of Fate], you'll unlock the ability to freely travel to the Grassroot Inn, which will contain a few options and activities. This location will be further developed in the future. After completing [Dryad Magic Arc: Darkness Taking Root], some new options will be available at Casson's manor in the Noble Quarter of Ranbol. [Activities] New gameplay system: dates. You can invite certain characters on dates at some locations to strengthen your bond with them. Not every character can be invited to every place. You can only go on a date once every day or so. You can visit and use the hot spring at the Grassroot Inn. Doing so heals you in addition to cleaning you. After meeting certain conditions, you'll be able to freely rest at Casson's Manor and the Grassroot Inn. [Cosmetics]New outfits and outfit variants. New system: premium alternate outfits. Patreon-exclusive variations of existing outfits can now be equipped on the wardrobe screen in the chapel. You must acquire the base version of the outfit to unlock and equip the alternate versions. These alternate versions are denoted by a symbol and different-colored button. New premium versions have been added the following outfits: Dryad Vestments, Mummy Costume, and Purple Dress. New outfit: Evening Dress. This elegant outfit can be acquired during the quest [Dryad Magic Arc: Darkness Taking Root]. New outfit: Cocktail Dress. This outfit can be purchased from the seamstress after completing the quest [Dryad Magic Arc: Darkness Taking Root]. Additions and enhancements [Combat] Added the Nightsea Magic school of spells! In-game description: "A spell school with a focus on defensive play. In exchange for elevated MP costs, the caster gains the ability to inflict high levels of madness quickly to prevent enemies from acting, with opportunities for burst damage as well. Pairs well with lunar magic for faster rotations, or sky magic for easier MP management." Added the Primal Magic school of spells! In-game description: "High burst damage with good utility for other schools focused on elemental damage. Easy aura management. High MP costs. Pairs very well with black magic, sky magic, and holy magic for high damage combos." [Art] Added new expressions for Meila. Some of these new expressions have been retroactively added to previous scenes. [Interface]Improvements to load screens and keyboard playability. The K key can now be used to do anything the spacebar can do. Load screens can now be dismissed by pressing Space or K in addition to 1 or clicking the button. Further changes to reduce the number of load screens are being planned. Added a "performance mode" setting that removes or limits certain animations to improve performance on PCs with limited graphics cards, like laptops using integrated graphics. Also improved the performance of some of these animations, particularly in combat. This setting will gain additional functionality in the future as well. By default, this setting will be off. Removed the "breathing" animation on Iris's arms when in combat. I may introduce a similar animation in the future, but this specific one kind of always looked off and I decided that I don't like it anymore. Added a setting to prevent the playing of licensed audio, as I'm planning on adding some vocal tracks to certain scenes in the game, and these will potentially get you flagged if you were to stream the game or record and upload video content. If you turn this setting on, an alternate track will play instead during these scenes. None of these scenes are featured in the game yet, however. Rewrote certain portions of the about menu. [Skits] NPCs will now sometimes react to Iris wearing clothes designated as "elegant." These clothes are made from finer materials and in designs more fit for nobles, so people may begin treating her accordingly. Buttons for elegant clothes are colored differently in the wardrobe interface. The new Evening Dress and Cocktail Dress outfits are considered elegant, and the Calamity Gown has retroactively received this designation. Technical [Engine] Improved file handling of plugins and mods and made the mod loading system more robust and resistant to errors. Mods and plugins can also now overwrite some core game data, including existing passages or passages from other mods, when a certain flag in the mod/plugins settings is engaged. This will allow modders to replace most existing game content. Hex: Summer Beach Brawl - Live Event [Story] Play beach volleyball under the tutelage of a washed-up...er, "experienced", volleyball coach and become the beach's baddest babe! Play through the quest [Summer Beach Brawl] for tons of rewards, including new outfits and weapons! You can start the request by going to the beach from Ranbol. You must complete the quests [Holy Magic Arc: A Warm Welcome] and [Sky Magic Arc: Adjudicating Adjuncts] first. [Art]Lots of new art! Six brand new CGs that depict the player, NPCs, and Gemma stripping off their tops and bottoms after losing a round of volleyball. New bikini outfits for Gemma, Longren, and NPC women, and new swimsuits for Lloyd and NPC men! [Locations] Added the beach location and the north beach sublocation. All new events and skits are available in these places, so explore them thoroughly! [Activity] Play a special new combat mode: strip volleyball! Your stats will be normalized, and you'll be limited to using special volleyball moves during these special battles. However, you can still use items, and your equipped mantra will still be functional! Volleyball matches happen in at least two rounds. After each round, the loser has to remove their top or bottom. Whoever ends up naked first loses! You must be wearing either the new sporty swimsuit or the sexy bikini outfit to play, but you can quickly equip the sporty swimsuit right on the beach. As you win volleyball matches, you'll collect your opponent's swimsuits. Report to Ralph for rewards as you continue to collect these! He'll dole out G and high-tier consumables as you win matches! [Skits][Erotica] Explore the beach to bump into new and familiar faces for fun erotic and comedic scenes. After completing the main quest of this live event, [Summer Beach Brawl], you'll be able to interact with Gemma. Defeat her in a volleyball match for the opportunity to tease her. Also, if you lose to her, you might find her doing some...questionable things with the bikini she wins off of you. [Cosmetics]Added new outfits for Iris, Meila, and the throne realm servant. New outfit: Sporty Swimsuit. This is rewarded toward the start of the [Summer Beach Brawl] quest! Outfit variants: Topless versions of the Sporty Swimsuit and Sexy Bikini will become available in the wardrobe after losing a volleyball match for the first time. You can also freely remove your top or both you top and bottom when wearing one of these outfits at the beach. A new bikini outfit for Meila! Head to the beach and use the "Talk to Meila" option (may take a couple of tries) and eventually she'll start wearing a bikini at the beach. [Combat] Added new weapon: the Beach Babe Blade: "A dagger with pretty shell shapes engraved on the handle, and an undulating blade that resembles a wave. This dagger grants it's wielder keen stacks. It grants bonus stacks of keen if the caster has none when the dagger is used." Acquire it by completing the quest [Summer Beach Brawl].
