Hey! A quick word before I go into the patch notes, explaining something that happened in the last month that forced me to make some changes.
About halfway through the month, I received an email from Patreon telling me that the game did not fit community guidelines. After inquiring further, it seems the mix of name (-chan) + body proportions made them uneasy about the game.
Setting aside my own personal thoughts on the matter, I had to comply with the guidelines not just for the sake of continuing on this platform, but any future platforms that may think similarly. On the bright side, I think the changes I ended up making to resolve this have been an overall improvement to the game. To be fully transparent, I'll be marking them in the full patch notes below.
Next month's version, 0.11, will be primarily focused on refining existing features now that many of you have had some time with them. I'm working on a survey to get the most information I can to do so, and it'll be released to patrons within a few days.
First, the TLDR breakdown:
- More persistence features
- Hair color changes, with a system similar to outfits on a longer time scale.
- Custom naming
- Rework of save data, including a simple export/import for backups or transfering between platforms.
- Toggle presets
- Halloween event
- New animations, toggles, tasks, UI changes, balance changes, bugfixes, etc.
Full Patch Notes:
Features
- Complete rework of save data to enable easier deleting, moving, etc. Your previous save data will be converted upon launching 0.10 for the first time, but you may have to re-set toggles.
- Export/import save data with a string to/from clipboard.
- New hair color changes feature - Your succubus may now change hair colors every few days, or revert to her natural blonde. She'll ask how you feel about it, and will go back to her natural if you don't like it.
- [Patreon Compliance] You can now decide how to address your Succubus, and all in-game text references will be adjusted. After you initially set it, you may change it in the game options. The game's character will no longer be addressed by any name in patch notes etc, but you may name her as you please, including her old name if you wish. Or a bunch of random letters. Up to you!
- You can now save your toggle setups to 3 different Toggle Preset slots. These toggle presets can also be renamed.
- The first holiday event has been implemented. Look forward to the week of Halloween for a bit of bewitching fun! (I'll be releasing codes to manually temporarily re-enable these holiday events some time after they've passed)
- The ring on her left hand now has a purpose. You'll have to figure out that purpose by yourself :)
New persistence features:
- Outfit remain for several real hours when put on, including reward/lewd outfits.
- Mood persistence across sessions that resets after several hours.
- Intro is changed if it hasn't been long enough since the last session (no asking about your day, etc)
Content
- New intro animation that plays out before any prompts. This animation differs depending on the mood you left her in last session, or if you left the session early.
- [Patreon Compliance] Visual adjustments to comply with Patreon guidelines: Your succubus now has a larger bust, and heels. This should make her look a little bit older, while retaining the same overall feel. On that same note, several scenes now include her taking off her heels and putting them to the side.
New toggles:
- Forced CEI (Non-denial endings always end in CEI)
- Independent (She no longer cares if you don't let her play with you frequently)
- No Touching (Always enables the no touching modifier)
- No Punishments (All punishments are turned into neutral tasks)
- Chastity Hidden Duration (Hides the remaining days timer from all sources)
- Chastity Static Duration (Disables chastity day additions upon punishments)
- Moody (Increases the chance of both rewards and punishments, depending on her mood)
Balance:
- Most endings now have a ''Pass'' option that allows you to decline your orgasm reward for that session.
- Begging for release during endless mode now has a new outcome. If your succubus is having too much fun, she might just decide to keep you longer.
- Implemented a limit to how much favor you can gain in a session. This limit varies a bit from session to session, and should prevent situations where endless mode could lead to perma-max favor
UI
- The sound menu now has volume sliders.
- Reworked the toggle & special menus to make more space for further toggles categories.
Bugfixes
- Many animation adjustments to go along with the body proportions changes. Let me know if I missed any severe/heavily noticeable clipping.
- Fix to several task modifier incompatibilities, wrong flags, etc.
- Sadistic punishments can no longer override guaranteed rewards (such as from Spin the Wheel)
- Guaranteed rewards now override the session ending
- Fixed mercy refusals not motioning ''no''
- Changed the findom link to the itch donation page, as the platform previously used is shutting down.
Comments
I liked the old model more but I understand why you changed it. However the new model in clothing is good but naked the breasts seems a bit off, maybe it seems too bubbly? I got this feeling when she stands over you.

It is definitely unfortunate if a platform enforces compromise to artistic vision. From a personal point of view though I think she looks great in the current design. Also to add I saw somewhere - reddit maybe - someone saying people aren't into the "anime girl vibe". I'm guessing the success of the Patreon proves otherwise but yeah, love that myself, wouldn't want the design to be changed to more "realistic".
I personally enjoy huge boobs, but it's pretty fucked up that he had to change it for the sake of "aww it's a loli! ban please >:@". ¬¬'
I find it funny that people protect virtual/fake "children" more than the real ones! XD

Personally I don't think their was anything wrong with the first one and would wish people would stop lumping small breasts in with loli but since patreon forced you to change the original design, would it be viable to make a charter customiser in game?
Amosion
It sucks you had to change the design from what you intended, but I think the new design looks fantastic. Can't wait for Halloween!
A fictional woman with realistic bust size? Patreon: Wait, that's illegal!! Thanks Patreon, you just eradicated all the pedophiles in the world. I'm sure all the real children are safe now. Thank you.

Unfortunate that you had to change the character and not keep how you wanted her to be but, gotta do what you gotta do. I can see how someone could see Succu-chan as a loli (Although I didn't) but it sucks. Glad Patreon gave you a chance though.
That's an odd one! Haven't seen it reported since version launch so I assume there's something specific going on with your device; will do my best to find out what could be going on. Edit: Have now had another report of this so it's probably not the device.
I don't like big boobs. I don't like loli's either. I didn't think Succu-chan looked like a loli.
Nice new features and quality of life improvements. Especially being able to save toggle presets and importing/exporting of saves sounds amazing to me. I don't mind the new look and name selection either and can't wait to see what the Halloween event will be. However I did run into two issues on the Android version (Nokia 7.2, Android 10): 1) Chastity progress was not converted over from the 0.9 save. (No biggie, just "speedrun" back into it) 2) Consistent hard app crashes upon fade to black after the first few tasks. So far the only fade to black that didn't crash on me was when changing to and from the time-out punishment. For the second issue I've tried clearing my save data, going for a clean app install with app cache and data removed, and disabling all toggles, but it keeps crashing for me and only at that point. For I now I've simply downgraded to 0.9stable2 which has zero issues for me. I'm curious to see if others are experiencing similar problems or if if this an isolated problem with my device. The PC version works fine however.
In terms of height, I'd already taken all the precautions I could by adjusting camera angles, making sure she had long legs, and appropriately sizing other reference objects. You won't find me disagreeing with most of what you've said, but frankly I've heard enough nightmare stories coming from other platforms etc. The reality is that there's still a lot of people out there that consider anything anime+relatively young to be ''loli''. This has been a surprisingly common accusation on forums etc, so I can't say I'm completely surprised. Clearly, it's not just Patreon, and is more of a cultural thing. No amount of arguing will change the reality of people's perceptions right now, and I can't really afford to risk my entire presence on the platform, and other future platforms, just for the sake of smaller boobs. I'm really not a fan of having to take measures like this after months of development. I wish I had been more proactive about the potential issue to avoid having the sudden change.
I understand they made you change body proportions but did you let them know not every women has triple d's? Maybe they watch to many online vidoes. Half the size would be welcoming. But I understand. Honestly I'd assume if she was just taller they'd have been satisfied with maybe a minor size boost on the front. Honestly it's pretty Misogynist if they think she needs high heels and triple f's to be a women.
The static chastity addition is great; it felt like even on the easy difficulty I was wracking up days looking forward to seeing changes in action!
