Hi everyone, I'm back with a completely rebuilt version of The Lust Society.
I'm gonna copy/paste in the Project History section of this post, the devlog I wrote on itch.io that briefly explains what happened to the old version, what it is now and what is driving its development.
This community has always been inspiring, so feel free to ask a bit more details behind the change if you want. I'm not gonna get into personal reasons, though.
Without further ado...
The Lust Society, brought to you by LirvenGames is back, revealing a new identity and the means to evolve into its vision. TLS integrates a video player that
gamifies your adult library, turning the video you choose
into a Teasing Experience.
How it works if quite straightforward. Download, open, choose your favorite video and try to reach to the end of it following your own pace... or a suggested one if it is one of those videos...
If you find bugs or have issues, send me a PM.
Current Content
v1.5 - Public
Game Mode - Single Tease
- Full Video. Play two sections: the first, lasting almost the full length of the video, is used for the tease, the second is used for the climax round. Great for short videos and JOI
- Segment. Play up to 7 short sections: the first six are used for the tease, the last is used for the climax round. Great for long videos and replayability
Tease
- Eight different speeds and three patterns
- Gradient and Wave patterns that gradually shift from one intensity to the other
- Repeat Last functionality to keep you hands as free as possible
- Minimalistic UI, full screen, and audio controls for the best user experience
Customization options to tune up the difficulty to the player's liking
IntifaceCentral support for linear (e.g. The Handy) and vibrator (e.g. Lovense) actuators
v1.6 - Patreon Early Access
Beatmeter!
Tease Gameplay overhaul in preparation of v2.0
Completed the Tease UI revision to show as much of the video as possible
Change Log
- Spoiler: show
-
1.6
- Beatmeter. 'nuf said.
- Tease Gameplay Overhaul (in preparation of v2.0):
- The Tease Progress Bar now keeps track of levels, with each level being progressively more difficult to complete
- Full Video mode requires the player to reach at least level 5 (X5) to be able to move to the climax round
- Segmented mode requires the completion of the current level to move to the next segment
- Segmented mode will automatically move to the next segment only at the end of the current segment (provided the level is completed)
- Segmented mode shows a Skip to Next option when the current level is completed, if the player want to move to the next segment before the end of the current one
- Segmented mode now requires a video of at least 15:00 minutes and each segment is 2:30 minutes long
- Full and Segmented mode have different difficulty algorithms, with Segmented being slightly more difficult than Full at the same level
- Revised the Tease Progress Bar graphics to be more sleek and indicate the current level
1.5
- True Full Screen: The UI is now overlaid on the player, making it possible to play the video using every pixel on your monitor.
- Tease UI Overhaul: The UI has been reorganized and restyled to take up less space, be more intuitive, and support transparency.
- Tease UI Tooltips: These appear briefly to clarify what each control does during the tease. They can be disabled from the user preferences.
- User Request: Added "Repeat Last" functionality to automatically replay the last pattern, preventing the queue from becoming empty.
- Added In-Tease settings for better playback. TLS now provides:
- Basic controls to Play/Pause and adjust the volume of the video.
- A dedicated volume control for the metronome/beats. (user request)
- Added the Wave Pattern. It starts from the last intensity used and oscillates back and forth until it reaches the same intensity after 30s. Feedback needed!
- Added issue mitigation to auto-retry opening a video when the player library fails to do so. It attempts only once; retry manually if needed.
The Lust Society - Companion
TLS Companion is a small application available to Patreon members (for free) and itch.io users (for a minimal fee), to promote and finance the development of the main game.
TLS Companion is an overlay that provides the features of the TLS Tease Control Bar, including Intiface connectivity, and can be used to pace your tease or control your device while you watch a video on the internet, play on Milovana, or... well... do anything you do with your PC.
Future Developments
The development of Version 2.0 has started!
It will take time but it will add many features with a story mode, NPCs that will influence your teases, and management mechanics that will let you "build the Society" to unlock more NPCs and features between one tease and the next!
In the meantime, Version 1 releases can still be expected, but from now on will mostly focus on maintenance, tweaks and minor additions.
Project History
- Spoiler: show
- What about the past?
You might wonder what happened to the 3D RPG version of The Lust Society. Well... Life happened.
LirvenGames apologizes, deeply, for the redirection, but the previous iteration became a labyrinth of limitations and roadblocks. A time-devouring project that could never reach any significant milestone.
So, what now?
This reincarnation is built from the ground-up.
While it may lack the 3D component, it's already capable of delivering an experience closer to the project's original vision.
You, the player, decide the content that excites you the most, and you, the player, decide how to enjoy it!
TLS restarts as a sandbox, embedding all the building blocks to turn it into something else.
Whether its future is going to offer an arcade-inspired experience or a RPG one, it doesn't matter.
What matters is the element of choice you, the player, ultimately have.
This is what's driving its development today and each new version will expand on a game that will feel complete at each and every step.
What's left to say? Just download and have fun!
