stuff i'm working on now

hello there patreon. it's been a while! happy thanksgiving if you celebrate it or hope you have a good day otherwise

i was super burnt out on everything for a while and it's only fairly recently that i've started working on porn game project stuff again. i've been making some progress on the 1.1 patch of the new hive, which at this point is roughly six scenes away from having enough done that i could release it. (& also communicating more with the artist who's gonna draw portraits, who's doing some concept sketches now.) ideally i'd have the motivation to add more stuff after that -- there's still huge piles of unfinished content that are cut out -- but we'll see how i feel when it's all actually done.

anyway i'll post a patreon-only draft (prerelease 4 or w/e) of what i've got so far soonish. in the mean time, though, while i'm trying to outline where the game is lacking content i was interested in other people's thoughts -- what kind of interactions do you think are missing from 'the new hive' as it stands? (& yes i know 'topping' is probably gonna be a popular one, but try to be at least a little more specific :V)

currently my list of stuff to maybe add to the 1.1 patch looks like this:

---

new stuff that would fill in weird gaps:

• different egglaying quest for astau's eggs (go visit him & bury them in the white sands)
     use $khruPregnant to trigger his own astau visit
• exile talk options in the village (maybe w/ a sex scene for each one?)
     maybe just opening up their exile sex scenes again
• jinn's eggs in the astau impreg branches shouldn't just evaporate (they do get mentioned in the orgy scene, so really it's that jinn's description in the camp should reflect that he's still pregnant. and you should be able to get his description)
     if rook stays there should be a rook/jinn scene where he pumps a bunch of eggs into rook to share the clutch (& also then rook & jinn still fuck zhalk in the orgy)
• splices in 'www pair' for when you've delivered their eggs (change in dialog options / new dialog)
• in-village survey team sex scenes
• at least _slightly_ more involved orgy resolution (more choices beforehand w/ yr specific version + more detail/option in the orgy itself. like maybe being able to join some people specifically)

unlikely to actually be added (from most likely to least likely):

• every time you craft something in yr workshop there'd be a % for various gheist/villagers/exiles you'd had sex with to show up & prompt an optional sex scene
• unique rook/max threesome if they both stay (& raven doesn't / you haven't fucked raven) & you've fucked them both. you fuck in yr workshop after explaining that humans have some propriety, & afterwards yr woken up by some gheist being like, oh here's where you are. yeah i guess you already know the humans left. well, the other humans.
• post-exile rook sidequest where you take him to ophion and get his dick injected + guide him through his first gheist dick j/o
• unique rook/max/raven foursome if they all stay and you've had sex w/ all of them. options between like... rook getting fucked by max + you getting fucked by raven, w/ you making out w/ rook / rook getting fucked by max + raven riding rook's dick while you make out w/ him / rook getting fucked by max + you fucking max + raven riding rook's dick
• restructure rook's seige points to make it more viable for him to leave. if he does leave, he ends up with manĝema & over time gets tfed some into a half fire bull-dragon guy also. he ends up wearing some rough glass/rock mask instead of his helmet V:
• bonus trades w/ chul-chak to get items to trigger bonus scenes (mostly dialog) w/ various characters --  spices or plants, circuit boards, weird city human artifacts, gheist relics, etc
• tiny gheist squad sidequests where you can make stuff for them. "oh my lightrot engine broke" "oh i can totally fix that"
• new tf that ticks up every time you have sex w/ somebody while full of eggs, & when it gets to 3 you get 'egg/dick connection' that lets you pump eggs into somebody else. since this would require writing totally new impreg scenes for literally every characters + logic for all them being pregnant, it's probably not gonna happen

so as you can see it's kind of a lot. most of that probably won't happen but in terms of expanding content (as opposed to just e.g., fleshing out the branching in the final orgy scene) that's where my head's at
