New test build soon + New exclusive patron-only channel in the Discord!
Hi lovelies! The first Workshop test build will be available real soon.I've set up a new channel on the Discord exclusive to folks with the LLE Supporter role for bug reports in the latest test version of the mod! Please make good use of it, it helps me a bunch!1.71 test build soon!- Ancestress
Got a little carried away
The new Maiden, Marionette, and Weaver have a total of 320 lines of dialogue between them.Whew.
The fiends must be driven back...
Maiden, Marionette, and Weaver are now all in-game and being tested! We're getting closer and closer to a basic Workshop test release, folks!
New Skins: Houndmaster
Check out the LLE recolours of Hazu's houndmaster skin, exclusively for LL:E! :DI'm also changing the way skins will be included in LL:E. From now on there will be 4 SFW skins and 4 NSFW skins included, because many folks preferred to play with heroines fully-clothed :)Also: Check out Hazu's stuff here!
Skin Changes!
Hi lovelies!As part of the Workshop I'll be changing up the way the default skins are presented to the player in LL:E.I'll still be using all the lovely and wonderfully-crafted skins by Hazu, except this time there are going to be 4 clothed skins and 4 nude skins! (1 clothed skin + recolours, 1 nude skin + recolours).I noticed lots of folks wanted to have a clothed version, so I thought I'd make an effort to include those in LL:E by default :)It's just another reason why the Work...
Good news and better news!
The good news is that Puppetmaster is functional and in the mod, save for a couple of superficial wrinkles.The better news is that I've written over 200 lines of dialogue for the heroines captured by it, featuring themes of:BondageVibratorsEdgingMind ControlDollification
Godspeed, Bill.
You are my bravest soldier.
The Problem and The Plan
So Darkest Dungeon is a weird game with some very quirky mechanics. Modding it is both very simple and very difficult at the same time somehow: Some things are far easier than other games, and other things become excruciating to try to do.The Puppetmaster, sadly, has fallen into the latter. Let's go from the beginning to see where the problem is:We begin the fight. The Puppetmaster immediately summons the Understudies. The fight continues, and after the end of the first round the puppetmast...
Boss Preview: Puppetmaster
Looking good so far..! I just need to iron out some jank with the AI.The game is being deeply annoying about it. Darkest Dungeon's engine really does not enjoy having multiple captor enemies in a single fight.
Getting there..!
Slowly but surely it starts coming together. Forgive this mess.
Puppetmaster Behaviour Poll:
Hey there, lovelies!I've been wracking my brain about how to actually implement the puppetmaster's behaviour.The idea is that the puppetmaster is encountered, and summons the empty crosses. From there on we have three options:Option A:As the fight progresses the Puppetmaster captures your heroines of your choice one by one, and the final leg of the battle must be fought 1v1 with the last heroine you didn't choose.Option B:The Puppetmaster captures three heroines of your choice at the...
Workshop Boss Ideas
I'm glad you've all been so interested in whats cooking at the workshop! If anyone has their own ideas for the next workshop boss (Each region needs two bosses after all!) I'd love to hear them!Kindly,Ancestress

Every performance needs actresses, after all~

With three heroines bound in shibari, who will you choose to continue the battle alone..?

What devious machinations!
The plan!
So once I get the Workshop in a state where it spawns, it's playable, and it runs correctly, the next step is slowly fleshing it out.My plan is to get the workshop up and running at first, but fill it with base game enemies. Then, piece by piece, I will replace the existing base-game enemies in there with the new ones (Marionette, Maiden, Weaver, etc.)This means I'll be able to go back to my regular release method of creating test builds so you guys are no longer kept in the dark and you...
Enemy Revival: Cumslave
Some of the enemies in the original Lustiest Lair suffered from a bit of art-style jank. When I took over the project one of my goals for LL:E was to bring some of the older enemies in line with the newer ones.With this in mind I've commissioned the talented Misterfox, who can be found on the LLE discord, to rejuvenate the cumslave's sprites.How's it looking?Kindly,Ancestress
LLE Feedback: What's missing?
My goal for LLE is for the mod to be an all-in-one experience that lewdifies Darkest Dungeon.Let's pretend we're going to disable every other mod and run only LLE.What's missing?What do I need to add?Sincerely, Ancestress
What's being worked on?
Usually I like to pump out incremental update after incremental update, but unfortunately I can't do that for 1.8.The reason is that building an entire region requires many interlocking parts that need each other just to be able to launch the game without crashing. I can't add them piece by piece like I have done in the past with test updates until I hit the bare minimum needed to have the workshop functioning on its own legs.Just so you all aren't kept in the dark, though, here'...
Balance Poll: Goblin Horde / Queen / Empress
How difficult do you find the Goblin Horde / Queen / Empress?I am referring to the entire battle and not one specific enemy within it - if you do have specific feedback feel free to comment below! :D

The fiendish puppetmaster - could it be responsible for the monstrosities of the Workshop?

What is that thing..?
Hero Preview: Maid
Her affliction and virtue sprites. With that, all her sprites are finished - all that needs to be done is animation, implementation, and testing.Art by the wondrous Hazu!
The Grind
With 1.7 out, the next job is creating from scratch and implementing an entire region.Updates may take a little while to start happening on account of the scale of work that needs to be done. A lot needs to be done before you'll all even see 1.71 because it takes so much to get the bare bones of a region put together.For instance, you know that huge sunward Isles mod? I'm basically doing an entire huge mod's worth of content... for one update.So please stick with me, enjoy 1.7 in the...
Lustiest Lair: Expanded v1.7 Public Release
The Lust in the Dark UpdateRemember when I said 1.7 was going to be small? I lied.[1.7b]Bugfixes:Reworked the Crimson Duos. They now check for a cursed heroine before choosing whether or not to launch their grab move. This took a lot more effort than I thought.Added a new skill to crimson cockrider and crimson cocksucker that checks for the curse.Renamed crimson duo's grab skills.Reverted the change where the crimson duo could only use their grab move with an ally present. They can grab at a...
