A Struggle with Sin [Chyos] [v0.5.9.7 Test]

v0.5.9.7 Test

• 1 new map
• 2 new animations with Kate at the old boar’s inn
• Claire’s anal animations are now available at night in her bedroom at the Drunken Fox
• New scene for Bianca at home if you completed Gavina’s content up to the point that she got new clothes
• New dialog images & sprite for Tia
• New scene with Tia & Dwain at the camp
• New scene with Maui & Dasan (fanmade scene by Xenowave! A big thank you to him for his work on this scene!) – It is a continuation of the scene with Umah & Maui
• New automation functions for mercenary management (I hope they all work correctly) You can also build an additional tent at the camp to house more mercenaries.
• A lot of smaller changes that I can’t all recall (Things like editing Yasmine’s old ride animation in the livingroom slightly so that her butt doesn’t look so edgy)
• Bugfixes! A lot of them. Thank you to all of you who reported them in the past month!

v0.5.9.6 (Winterhowl Special 2024)
In the end it wasn’t possible without some crunch on the finishline, but it was definitly worth it! In the last hour I added another animation which I just HAD to add… totally worth sleeping one less hour for it. 

 – In case you wonder, yes the title image has nothing to do with the current scene, that’s from Athia’s christmas special 2022.

Ok I’m not going to spoil anything about the scene other than you already know… Only that to start the little quest you must have had Sex with Helena and Yasmine then the quest should start when you are in Arenfield and it is either December ingame or December in Real life (so just now). The scene has a repeatable option, but it currently isn’t available as a dream scene… I might add that in the future, but for now it isn’t planned. Krampus now also has a new reward if you haven’t slayn him this year already (If you did you must pass another ingame year to kill him again).

v0.5.9.5

• New Flail and Club weapons that you can craft starting at iron
• New weapon animations for all weapons (will only show for newly gathered weapons after this update, you can use the bow&arrow north of Arenfield to update your gear)
• Expanded the scene with Bianca in Arenfield with 4 animations (more about that at the end of this post)
• A new quest will begin after you completed the rescue mission in the mine. If you complete that quest after this update 1 week must pass before you can trigger it, for everyone who already did it the only condition is that you have at least 1 mercenary stationed at the mine. Then visit your camp, Lyvia has to be there to give you a briefing.
• New content for Gavina, will only trigger after you reached the deeper mine and you must have completed all of her previous progression (up to completing her anal training quest).
• New gear and new enemies (During my tests I noticed that on the higher level which the goblins can have the damage calculation is really really off. This is something I will work on in the next days so that the fight’s don’t take that long!)
• Rework of Lyvia’s and Bianca’s dialog images + Made combat sprites for Bianca, Bianca can now join your group in the mine and has some (almost overpowered) new skills that I made for her.
• New characters with sprites & dialog images
• 1 new map
• 1 adjusted and 1 new defeat scene for the mine with the goblins.
• New music (I still have an earworm)
• In total ~880 New/reworked images in this update (Some more transition and nonesex animations)
• Smaller changes: You can now convince Nyra to help you with Umah even if she isn’t your wanita, Corven will now let you learn skills (like building traps) even if you didn’t complete Arianna’s quest.
• A lot of bugfixes! Thank you all again for the reports… I still have some more reports pending in my pm’s that I couldn’t all work on, but I will go through them in the coming days.

v0.5.9.1
New animations and interactions with Lilly
Smaller changes and bugfixes

v0.5.9.0:
fixed: Kicking out Henry freezes the game, Dialog at Penny’s table got disabled after completing the quest, Entering coldstone 2nd floor causes getting stuck, Coldstone estate map freezing during day (after talking to farmers), Entering the barn is impossible if not progressed Kate’s story, Problems with Dave & Penny’s scene (involving Henry), typos and other smaller problems;
Added: Alternative dialog when renovating the MC’s house after doing Penny’s quest (before interaction with Emily happened). – Big thanks to marniakeur and the others who reported these bugs!

v0.5.8.7
it’s gotten again late, but now Ophilia’s scene is finally done!

This one has really cost me some nerves. Kate’s drinking event needed several changes for this scene to properly work. I have also been working on an additional scene with Rick & Ophilia that originally wasn’t planned – But during my work on the scene I decided that without it something would be missing in the buildup, so I added it. To trigger the new content you have to play Kate’s serving game in the tavern. If Ophilia is serving there as well and the MC has progressed with her up to the current end of her story. You can call her over for a drink, Rick or the MC can then pay and give her a tip – For Rick this will require some getting to know before she sits down (not possible in ntr off mode). If she sits with the MC and Rick until the end of the evening she will be drunk and either the MC or MC & Rick will have to bring her upstairs.
A little bit of progressing is necessary to see all scenes, but I will leave the exploring part to you. 

On top of the bonus scene I also finally added Ophilias dream scene! It has a few variations and has a random chance to play with different corruption states or drunken/not drunken. It will get available after you progressed Ophilia up to the point where she changes her looks.
The scene at the huntinground has gotten a small update (Tia & Orcs) also finally fixed the animation… Sorry, wasn’t aware it was broken until I played it through.
Also fixed the MC’s jerk off scene with Tia in the mine… the scene still has grass on all areas, and looking at the prevote on discord this won’t change anytime soon… well maybe when I get too frustrated by it 

v0.5.8.6a
Hotfix

v0.5.8.6 Test
•Maps: Reworked the Deep forest map, added 3 more maps which can be found Southeast of Arenfield (leave downhill next to the waterfall).
•Continuation of Penny’s quest with new animations and scenes for her. (~700 images)
•Rebalance of some of the item prices. Penny will now also sell roosters if there is more than 1 in the chickencoop as well as eggs if there are more than 10. As part of the quest she will also have cows that can get pregnant and that will produce milk which is currently only used to boost Penny’s income. The mill will also produce flour which Penny will bake into breads (The mill produces 2 flour per day and Penny can bake max 3 bread per day)
•Penny will also have to pay taxes now, there is a possible interaction with Dave, can be prevented by either making sure Penny has enough money (you can now also put gold into her lockbox) or by interacting with Dave directly when he collects the taxes. The tax collection will only begin after the quest has progressed to that point. there is also an additional quest that shows how many days are left until the next payment. (for the future I plan to replace this with an overview screen, but for now that would be overkill in terms of workload)
•A new named merc at the camp that allows you to recruit mercenaries directly. He will come to your camp after you lost the first merc in any way. After that you can of course also send him off, in that case he won’t show off again.
•Bugfixes! (For details check the discord channel) As always a big thanks to all of you for the reports!

Hotfix 0.5.8.5a
Fixed an endless loop with Hiba&Tomak, Fixed chicken coop, Fixed bug with Gwen’s sexscene getting stuck, Fixed no choices when spying on Mira

Hotfix 0.5.8.5
Fixed image stuttering for the Hiba/Dasan BJ scene, Added: The transition with Penny to the Coldstone estate is now longer so that the player knows where it actually is.

v0.5.8.5

• Complete rework of Ayita’s content. Reworked all animations, added additional animations where they were missing + reworked her sprites and dialog images. + Continued her story up to the point where she is claimable (only on non Dasan route and only if women aren’t free for all men)
• Added a love route for Hiba (alternatively to her corruption route, after raising her affection to 3 interact with her at the fire in the evening) + reworked her dialog images
• 3some scene with Ayita & Hiba (dialog for this one came a bit short, I’m sorry for that, and it will be expanded in the future, but right now I really wanted a closure)
• New animation for Tia at the fire (I couldn’t resist, it felt so bad that you would only be able to call her over just so you could say goodnight)
• Complete rework of the Firescene in general, the way the scene was before didn’t work with the new features it now has. But that is something you will see for yourself
• All other interactions between women and other men near the fire are now animated (Hiba/Tomak, Ayita/Dasan, Tia/Dasan. You can now also watch them while sitting at the fire in the evening
• Added a small animation for Hiba/Dasan (BJ scene without background).
• All together the bonus scene had 1645 new images.
• Rework of some of Penny’s early dialog and events. Added new animations to some of the existing events (no rework of old animations) – It’s now also finally possible to have vaginal sex with her in the masturbate event.
• New Quest for Penny, will begin in the middle of her normal progression (can also be started afterwards by talking to her when she is on the field)
• Added some a new scene for her in the morning (you must complete her new quest up to the point where you get the reminder that the rest will come in 0.5.9.0 and then stay the night in her bed, this is now also possible on the Henry route). (in total 530 new images)
• 1 new scene with Henry & Penny
• 3 new characters with sprites and dialog images, more to come for them in 0.5.9.0
• 2 new maps (to the south of the fields map)
• Traps can now also catch chicken and rooster (can be put into the chicken coop, after you built it) – for chicken to hatch you need at least 1 chicken and 1 rooster in the chicken coop. Chicken will lay eggs every day with a certain chance. This will require some more balancing in the future.
• New icons for the time of day. They have also been added to the waiting menu to make it more intuitive.
• Another round of bugfixes, again thank you for all the reports! (for details on this check the bugreport channel on discord)

And that should be it… I hope I didn’t forget anything important…

Hotfix 0.5.8.0b
Fixed problems with Claire at the old boar inn (After you shared her with Bjorn she went wild), Fixed interaction with Claire at the drunken fox at night when she thought Kate was in bed when that wasn’t the case.

Hotfix 0.5.8.0a
Fixed another dialog bug with Carmen on the love route

Hotfix 0.5.8.0
Fixed problems with the final step before Kirlic on Kate’s quest. Fixed a bug with disabling choices on Carmen’s love route.

v0.5.8.0
Good morning,
feels like we had this recently already… right, same as last week.
I’ve decided to make this update not only so that you can see what I’ve done over the past week but also so that those of you who want can help me smooth out problems that will probably still be in this version. I’ve been running tests over the past 2 hours, but I didn’t test out every decision along the way of the sharing route for Claire and Bjorn.
For those of you unaware how to trigger this content at all I’ll write a short how to at the bottom of this post. For those who aren’t into sharing at all I’ve added a new animation for Claire in the MC’s bedroom.
So (very) short changelog:
Continued content for the sharing route for Claire & Bjorn (4 animations)
New animation in the MC’s bedroom (2 animations)
You can now sort relations alphabetical in the relations window (if it doesn’t work when pressing R you must open it through the menu (esc-> relations))
At the monastery storyline it is now possible to ally with Syfa and betray (imprison/banish) her in the end (this allows you to corrupt the other priestesses)
bugfixes, thanks for all the reports! (see discord bugreport channel)
Now short about how to trigger the sharing content:
In the morning talk to Bjorn and Carmen in the tavern, this will cause Bjorn to go upstairs. After that have sex with Claire in the hallway, this will draw Bjorn’s attention (since he is upstairs). Now to continue you must lose more than 3 gold to him in poker/Blackjack then he will ask you to take Claire to his bedroom. Follow the dialogue from there (there is no questlog for this).

v0.5.7.8
Continued content for the sharing route for Claire & Bjorn (4 animations)
New animation in the MC’s bedroom (2 animations)
You can now sort relations alphabetical in the relations window (if it doesn’t work when pressing R you must open it through the menu (esc-> relations))
At the monastery storyline it is now possible to ally with Syfa and betray (imprison/banish) her in the end (this allows you to corrupt the other priestesses)
Bugfixes, thanks for all the reports! (see discord bugreport channel)

v0.5.7.7
New Pokerdice game that you can play with Bjorn after you took all his money by playing Blackjack with him
New scene for Kate on the way to the old boar inn and while you’re there in the afternoon
2 New scene with Claire in the morning at the old boar inn (10 animations + transitions)
Bugfixes (Thank you all for the reports!)

Hotfix 0.5.7.7
Fixed positioning bugs with Claire, fixed scene with Claire in the hallway, fixed problems with Claire’s early quest in the cellar, fixed a bug with the monastery quest

• Gavina’s bonus scene (in case you haven’t played it already)
• Dream system to replay scenes that became unavailable (Only scenes you have activated are available, currently there are 4: 2 for Emily (ntr with bandits, Marcus/Emily); 1 Imawyn in cell, 1 Gavina&Bianca + Tia&Lyvia with goblins) – Next on the to do list is Ophilia when she was drunk (will be added in 0.5.8.0)
• Rework of Toren, Odric & Kyle + their scenes and other images
• 3 new maps (+ 1 for transition but that doesn’t really count)
• New character sprites & dialoge images for Kate, Claire, Carmen and Bjorn
• 1 scene for Kate & Claire (5 animations + transitions)
• 1 small scene for Carmen & Bjorn (1 animation)
• A lot of bugfixes. Again a big thank you to all of you! I got a lot of pm’s and reports on discord and I fixed things like Tia never confronting Katherin about MC and her having sex (can be triggered during dinner at Katherin’s); Emily could get stuck in progression if you never rescued her from bandit camp but then captured Imawyn (now there is a new dialoge in which she is happy about the news that Imawyn got captured, this will also unstuck the quest should it be at that state) + many other smaller and bigger things that I can’t recall all.

Dev’s Patreon:
Good evening,

I’ve finally completed the implementation of the last animation for Nyra. There is more content for her inside her hut now. On Dasan’s route you should wait until everyone is asleep inside to fully see the content (in case Tia visits there is a wait option), on vanilla route it should be possible at any time when she’s in bed.
I also have plans to expand this scene a little further in 0.5.7.0 (at least on the vanilla route).
What’s also still missing is a repeatable version of the scene outside (both dance and sex) there is already an option for that, but for now it only triggers her normal naked scene (you can currently repeat the winterhowl event instead).
There will also be an option to go back to her old dress (for those who prefer it), but that is also still missing. So much to do, so little time!
So while still incomplete this update does have a few more things to try out. I’ve also implemented the changes to the Bandit camp (Emily doesn’t have to be captured twice anymore) and you can trigger Tia’s anal scene without claiming Hiba (after having sex with Tia 3 times she will mention it during sex in your hut, the old way via Hiba is ofc still possible).

As always: Old save files work as always. I’ve written a guide how you can transfer them. You can find it here: How to transfer saves

Should you run into any bugs, please report them via pm or by using the #bugreport channel on discord (Click + to create a new thread there) Thank you to anyone who takes the time to report bugs! All hotfixes will be listed below the links.

I know that this is a rather small update if you already played 0.5.6.7. But at the same time I wanted to get it out before the year is over. This will most likely be my last update for this year, so completing the christmas content for Nyra was important to me. I know there are still the variations missing that I mentioned at the top of the post, still at least all animations are now implemented.

Next week I’ll begin with the rework of Imawyn’s old animations in her tent. I’ll probably make some of the new versions then also available at the later stages when you freed her from prison.
But for now it’s time to take a little break.

Have a nice weekend!
