And she's implemented!
The boss is now in the 'relentlessly test and fix all the weird edge cases' phase.Things that have come up so far:What if the player kills her before the horde?How do we handle the timing of her transformation attack?What if she transforms while the horde has a heroine captured?What if the horde releases their captive as the queen attempts to transform?What if the player uses a move ability on one of them?What if the player stuns the queen as she tries to transform?Bug testing is fun! I ...
Almost done with coding the new boss!
Just gotta polish off the AI and implement the boss quest logic, then it's on to testing where I'll give it a bunch of passes overThen it'll be your turn to test!

Progress Update: Goblin Mob
The Goblin boss is now in the animation stage!
A Grand Re-flavouring: Should LL:E be changed to be a little more realistic?
I think we can all agree that at its core LLE is a little bit silly.To be clear, I think that's fine - porn plots can be fun in their own way! However something I've always thought about doing is creating a darker version of it.A rewrite of the plot to a platoon of heroines trying to stopper the flow of lecherous beasts into the land with potentially dreadful consequences, rather than a harem of sluts willingly heading there to fuck their way to victory.It'd lean more heavily upon no...
Should LLE keep Random Pregnancies?
In Darkest Dungeon, and LLE at present, your heroes have a chance to develop a random disease (reflavoured in LLE as pregnancy) at the end of a mission. Should this be done away with to reduce the breaking of immersion, or kept as a game mechanic so it's easier to find the stranger ones?

More of their sprites are finished! These guys have lots of moving parts -- sorry about the delays as a result! I'd like to have them finished so the boss can be included in the 1.6 public update :)
Saddening News.
Our beloved Wayne June, famed and beloved narrator of Darkest Dungeon, has sadly passed. Pour one out for one of the greats tonight, folks.

Sorry that these guys are taking so long -- the encounter is going to be effectively 5 different enemies, so this is taking as long as it takes to create 5 unique bespoke enemies.

$150 Bug Bounty: Slaver Lt. Crash on Capture
This bug has been a long-standing issue with Lustiest Lair that I inherited when I was given control of the project. Nothing seems to be working, and I've been picking at this crash for over a year now, so I'm throwing it out to the community.Anybody who can find and solve the following issue can claim the $150 bug bounty:During the Slaver Queen fight, when the Slaver Lt. uses her 'Wrap and Pillage!' capture move, the game will crash to desktop either on thefirst, second, or thir...
Test, test, and test again.
Since the techniques applied to fixing the Spider Spawner crash worked so well last time, I thought I'd rehire that same animator to help me turn our eye to a long-standing bugbear that's been around since the original Lustiest Lair:The crash on capture for Halftilt's orginal Slaver Lt.We're gonna fix everything.
Remember when I said good enough was good enough?
I just couldn't take it any more. I'm a perfectionist, and I couldn't just leave it alone.I hired an animator to completely pull apart and rebuild the animation and all its files, and we finally figured out - for real this time - why Spider Spawner was crashing the game.Expect a full and complete fix in 1.56 soon :)

The Goblin Invasion UpdateChanges:Added skill icons for Occultist by MaxmillionPowderAdded skill icons for Arbalest by MaxmillionPowderCorrected shading on skill icons for MusketeerChanged the sell values for many LL:E trinkets to bring them more closely in line with the base game economy. Some of them could be sold for 100,000 gold! This was a holdover from the original Lustiest Lair, and I genuinely hadn't noticed how broken the base game economy was because when I'm testing the mod I ...
Who's your favourite?
I like this guy.

Alt Skins: Vestal
Created three new alternate colour skins for Hazu's Vestal: Scarlet Cultist, Battle Nun, and Bounty HuntressWhatcha think? I have a lot of fun making these, they're a nice palate cleanser after the nightmare of crash fixing.

Sometimes 'good enough' is good enough.
Oh hey, didn't see you walk in there.I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this mod. Unfortunately, Darkest Dungeon as a game is a fucking nightmareto work with sometimes.Did you know this game doesn't produce crash logswhen the game crashes to desktop? There is no way to know what went wrong and why -- your only option is to light up the incense, pray to the spirits, and hope that the answer comes to you in a feverish delirium.So when the new spider spawner started crashing ...
