As I mentioned yesterday, the new release for House of Hellish Harlots was going to be delayed a couple of days. I didn't want to end the month without releasing something, so here are the raw scripts for the new harlots that will be appeari...
2021-07-31 18:50:16 +0000 UTC View PostAfter saying last post how good it was to get a rhythm back in creating harlot scenarios and how important it was to keep it, I did the dumb thing and let deadline pressure panic me out of that rhythm. A lot of the times the arbitrary monthl...
2021-07-30 12:20:40 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a couple of stuttering weeks, I finally found some rhythm again.
NPC Barman Skip Option
Has been added. This is similar to the summary option for The Madam's tour. I'm thinking of going further and adding faster restart ...
Another bitty week. I'm struggling to get that harlot production line running at full speed. I remember having this problem last year, where I got frustrated with not being able to hammer out the scenarios as fast as I'd like, and tryi...
2021-07-18 23:00:29 +0000 UTC View PostSlightly late update. There was a football match thingy on last night and most of the country is now savagely hungover.
Last week was a little bitty with a few too many IRL interruptions. I kept chipping away through the smotherb...
2021-07-12 11:47:06 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, attempt no.2 to write a roadmap for "House of Hellish Harlots" without it sprawling over 1,000 words.
As I said in the last roadmap post, most of the base features are now in place. The vendor NPCs are implemented and there are e...
2021-07-07 10:39:41 +0000 UTC View PostA quickish update.
Last week I put version 0.021 of "House of Hellish Harlots" out. That had 2 new harlots.
The second half of the week was the usual combo of breather after getting a release out mixed with planning out what the ...
2021-07-04 22:50:53 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the new release. Unfortunately, I was away for nearly all of Tuesday and had visitors on Wednesday, which meant I wasn't able to complete the 3rd harlot in time. The foul-mouthed glass mannequin ballerina will be dropped back to...
2021-06-30 22:45:59 +0000 UTC View PostThis week I was finally able to get back to working on harlot scenarios.
Executrix Boob Smotherer now has a name - Tete Khantu
She is typed up and mostly implemented. I just need to finish testing on her.

2021-06-27 22:39:44 +0000 UTC View PostWe're getting near the end of the month. At this point I don't want to be doing anything that isn't writing, typing, or implementing harlot scenarios.
I have 3 harlots lined up in varying degrees of progress and my target will be to ge...
2021-06-23 19:19:43 +0000 UTC View PostThis was a bit of a scrappy week of more bug fixing and bashing my head against a monitor while I tried to learn basic WordPress webdev.
I got the interim version 0.020 out. This fixes a lot of typos and bugs that had been sitting on m...
2021-06-20 22:45:02 +0000 UTC View PostI found a plugin to embed twine stories into a wordpress site and managed to get something up.
It can be found at www.houseofhellishharlots.com
The site is currently very minimalistic. I was going to use some temporary art, but w...
2021-06-20 11:50:16 +0000 UTC View PostFor real this time. I goofed, but thankfully it was a minor one. This was an embarrassing bit of code:
/* Turn on/off vision charm */
<<if $player.charms.includes(13)>>
<<set $player.ha...
A bit delayed. My first attempt at this was a rambling mess, so I thought I'd break it into chunks so I can properly focus on features/harlots/etc I'd like to add in the short-, medium- and long-term.

2021-06-14 22:45:18 +0000 UTC View PostThis week was a bit of scenario-writing, a bit of research into website stuff, and a lot of bug-squashing.
On the scenario writing side, I was able to get Executrix Boob Smotherer back on track and her 1st draft is now finished. I was ...
2021-06-13 23:15:18 +0000 UTC View PostI was going to post that today, but the thing I wrote is very long and rambly and still misses off some of the features I want to talk about. I doubt people will want to slog through 2K words, so I'll put that aside and see if I can break it...
2021-06-10 13:37:46 +0000 UTC View PostI switched back to smutty games for my leisure-time gaming. Here's a review of 62studio's "Succubus Puttel" on my blog:

As is customary, the update post after a release is usually a bit shorter. See the previous release (v0.019) for what was finished off at the start of the week.
The 2nd half of the week was a little quieter as I took a breather after t...
2021-06-06 23:06:43 +0000 UTC View PostIt's a couple of days late, but it's finally here. Sammy's scenario took a little more testing than a normal scenario.
This is almost a milestone release. This replaces the last of the placeholder 'dummy' harlots. Everythin...
2021-06-03 22:10:39 +0000 UTC View PostIt's getting late here and I'm just about to go to bed. I'm glad I said Wednesday/Thursday because I need Thursday.
Sammy's scenario turned out to be a little tricky to implement. While she doesn't have the same amount of text as...
2021-06-03 00:53:43 +0000 UTC View PostI was hoping this was going to be a short update, as in check back tomorrow for the v0.019 release sort of update. Unfortunately there were a few too many IRL disruptions last week. It also took me a while to settle on the 3rd scenario...
2021-05-30 22:34:00 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the recent additions to the House of Hellish Harlots was charms. These are either permanent bonus effects or protective abilities for the whole of a run.
I've been getting a few comments on them. There is a simple maxim fo...
2021-05-27 13:47:38 +0000 UTC View PostProgress on new harlots is still ticking along.
On the maintenance side, I added two new charms and updated Cibi Somnia.
The new charms are an anti-sleep charm and a charm that should have amusing interactions with vamps.

The controversial part is that long-time readers might find part of her scenario a little too ...
This week felt like getting back on track. I was able to work up through the gears and finished with a productive weekend.
After some brainstorming, I have a lot of ideas for various vamps. Enough to make their own clan. I ...

2021-05-13 14:32:55 +0000 UTC View PostI was hoping to get off to a flying start for the month, but it ended up being a stumble.
I currently have two harlots on the go.
One of them is Sammy. She's a bit more than a regular harlot and ideally I want her in the next bat...
2021-05-09 22:59:17 +0000 UTC View PostI was a bit stressed out and too frantically writing/coding/testing v0.018 to go over the results of the Harlot Placeholder Poll last week. Now I'm not in such a rush, I'll go over the results and give my thoughts on which placeholders are l...
2021-05-05 21:07:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt ran over by a day, but I managed to get the new version (0.018) of House of Hellish Harlots out. You can find it in the previous post. Trying to keep to a regular monthly release schedule helped here. I suspect I could have po...
2021-05-02 22:48:22 +0000 UTC View PostI missed the end of the month by a day, but here is April's House of Hellish Harlots release. Hiru's scenario was just a little too big for me to be able to implement and test in a single day.
April was a bit of a patchy month. I...
