Lustiest Lair: Expanded v1.71 Test Release (Ancestor Tier Early Access)

Added 2025-10-13 15:00:07 +0000 UTC

The Bound in Brass Update

Changes:

Added a new region: The Workshop. It can only be accessed after completing 'The Workshop Opens' and interacting with '???'.
Added a new Town Event: 'The Workshop Opens'. From week 10 onward, a player has a high chance to trigger an event that lets you explore a new area. Each week you don't get the event increases the chances of it occuring. Creating a new save is optional, you just need to keep playing the game until it naturally occurs.
Added a new quest: 'The Workshop Opens.' Grab as many shovels as you can and explore the ruins of an old abandoned workshop.
Added a new curio: ???
Added a new enemy: ???
Added a new quest select screen for the Hamlet, which now includes The Workshop tucked away right under the manor in the cliffside.
Added a new roaming boss: The Puppetmaster. Will you stand and risk battle this fiendish automaton, or will you retreat before it has a chance to steal away your heroines?
Added a new enemy: Understudy. Summoned by the fiendish Puppetmaster, these heroines will be edged upon them relentlessly until they're brainwashed and broken.
Added a new enemy: Maiden. A profane automaton that holds victims captive, violating and breaking them until they submit to the will of the puppets. Be aware: The deeper your expedition, the more corrupt these automata become.
Added a new enemy: Weaver. These tiny sentry automata were assembled from mangled spare parts and reconstituted by whatever aberration is responsible for all of this mess. Now they roam the halls in search of victims, marking heroines and leaving them susceptible to bonus damage delivered by other automata.
Added new SFW and NSFW hero skins by fellow DD modder Hazu to replace the defaults for Houndmaster.
Created new alternate colour skins for Hazu's Houndmaster: Beagle, Setter, Retriever, and Husky.
Added new SFW and NSFW hero skins by fellow DD modder Hazu to replace the defaults for Antiquarian.
Created new alternate colour skins for Hazu's Antiquarian: Sorceress, Druid, Scholar, and Librarian.
Added character banners by Hazu for the following characters: Occultist, Grave Robber, Hellion, Crusader, and Arbalest.
Added NPC art by Hazu for the Guild.
Changed the flavour text of the town event after defeating Slaver Queen to clarify that you only get to choose one heroine to recover.
Updated the UI mod to include the changes made to the quest select screen.

Bugfixes:

Fixed Ancestral trinkets not being limited to 1, so you could flood your inventory with incredibly rare, powerful, and sellable trinkets. Whoops!

To-Do:

Audio for The Workshop background.
Audio for all new Workshop enemies.
Parallax background tiles for Workshop corridors.
Room backgrounds for Workshop rooms.
Fix overlapping icons for when both The Puppetmaster and The Thing are in the same region.
Art for the workshop's rubble / debris.
Workshop's trap.
Workshop's curios.
Add further Workshop enemies

Known Issues:

Workshop enemies do not yet spawn in higher-level quests, only Apprentice-level dungeons. The only exception is the Puppetmaster, who should be able to spawn anywhere.
