Changelog

CSE now has Grand strategy gameplay! You hear the sound of cannon fire and death screams as you awaken in the Palace level of your Incubus Tower, but your lovely secretary's transmission gets your full attention, she hints its best to hurry to the Starmap room and get the colony warping out of the danger zone. On the way there you catch a glimpse of the space colony economy at work as delivery ships buzz from corporate spire to spire.

• Unique & Challenging Rougelike GrandStrategy mechanics that force player to move, breed, research and build, aggressively.
• Innovative inventory system based on a rotatable jigsaw system with mount points that may serve as either bags or specialized equipment such as shoulder cannons, also implant and explant slots and multi-pice armor, works for both male and female but Incubus version is intentionally simplified.

Come see Mid-Towns mystical Tamed weed shop and talk to the shop girl, she will answer any question:

• You can now press Tab and left click a girl to begin chatting with her.
• Now testing Patreon connection via main menu, it will become required for future access.

Another week & another big patch!

• Population breeding, evolution & defense logic is in with a 2D UI. Breed, grow and evolve your population while keeping the guard units stocked, will you breed for beauty, strength, fertility or something else?.
• Improved LLM+TTS and added more voice context areas: Waterfall, Hotspring.

• Experimental Incubus model, it still needs animations and better skin weight painting.
• Underdeveloped: work on a cavern to 'Mid-Town' and vehicle loop connection to buildings.

Several big features just landed!

• Introducing a lovely female AI voice powered by an LLM, all of which runs 100% local, in-game and in realtime. While this feature is currently limited and experimental, it is feasible to improve and combine it with human written story scripts to enable a fully voiced world of rich immersion and infinite variation.
• New Succubus model with a very cute face and even sexier body!
• She comes equipped with Vanguard armor, sorry you will need to wait for the next patch to undress her!
• CSE is now open world. Explore the cavernous interior and find a relaxing an alien Jacuzzi. You will need to navigate eerie dark mushroom tunnels to get there.
• Opening up the in-game 'Syulipedia' and extensive archive of fully narrated game lore with video. While this feature is also experimental with many stubs, there are dozens of minutes of voiced lore to explore.
• Introducing light space fighter gameplay, a 'creep' monster lurks in the asteroid belt. Destroy it before it reaches the colony! Approach the Space Fighter and press 'E' to fly.
• The number of buildings has been drastically reduced, but the remaining 3 are of much higher quality. Going forward, they will be detailed further with rooms, corp lore and vehicle tunnel connections.
• Some temporary regressions like no tail/boob physics and inability to visit the vehicle tunnels. There are also some not yet ready but interesting features such as 'Soul Portraits' of your colony's inhabitants, press 'tab' to enable the mouse and explore the left menu bar.

Begin exploring the asteroid colony and appreciate the raw beauty of this Succubus model while you can, by next week we will begin phasing her out for one thats even more pretty! Here's some things todo

• Visit the waterfall for a good view xD Usual WASD controls, double space makes her start/stop flight
• Press 'T' to pilot the Syulibae space fighter, Mouse+WASD, take it for a spin around the asteroid belt!
• Check out the architecture while you can, probably next week there will be substantial trimming and focusing more on less. Dont forget 'mid town'
• Find the vehicle tunnel and abandoned base...
• Toggle 'Tab' key to enable left UI controls, only time controls work for now but you can control the sunlight angle this way as the asteroid spins.

Main thing is to establish a 'conversational character' rooted in lore and with 3D NSFW 'Sex Battle' interactions, for this the base girl character will change, the male protagonist will be introduced and various technologies will be needed. But there are also some low hanging fruits from previous work that can gradually be integrated, such as:

• Soulful areas within the asteroid, waterworld, Tartarus and Weed infested cave
• Sizable Voice & video lore on the Jardenverse, need to make it collectibles to tie in with exploration
• 2D girl population management/interaction screens
• Includes some 2D NSFW
• A little combat/resource work too

Need to expand from the logic of 2D interactions to 3D sights by filling the colony with dynamic conversational (and fuckable!) denizens.

also need to work on the part where you, the Incubus, commands sexy 'Vanguard' supersoliders in tactical combat

and strategic space combat too!
