Overview:
You are a university Literature Professor and a Brother in the forbidden Order of Light, who sets off on a summer research expedition about pirate lore, which becomes a much larger adventure than originally planned. Your three best students, Britta, Saga, and Signe (twins), all sexy, bright, young ladies, are accompanying you on this voyage as an optional, special topics course.
Lust & Piracy is set in a dystopian world where the Global Corporate Council (GCC) has taken over all major governments, dictating every aspect of the global society, including business, religion, laws, and the slave trade. While your intention is to avoid involvement in the depressing society at large, you will find it more and more unavoidable to play a role in humanity’s struggle, as you become engaged in various activities, like smuggling and the pursuit of the ancient mysteries, including the workings of occult practices.
Aside from Britta, Saga, and Signe, you will meet and have the opportunity to become sexually and romantically involved with numerous other girls from around the world along your voyage, with some of them joining you as part of your crew.
v0.0.3.5
– fixed bugs in blackjack, including cards display/clearing/total, number of hands played (was being tracked in wrong place so was adding 1 hand played for every card dealt); changed random method
– made new Ránsö Lake location for main event location (will also have repeatable events in the future)
– made repeatable treasure hunting location in ocean
– continuation of story with introduction to scuba diving and treasure hunting at Ránsö lake, and scuba diving and treasure hunting in the ocean
– added footjob scene with Katya during Ránsö Lake event
– created and added treasure hunting/metal detector mechanics with repeatable underwater ocean event for first repeatable treasure hunting area
– added ‘Aftdeck’ area in Victory Topside navigation; open treasure chest and click on conch shell in morning to start treasure hunting event
– added bathroom area navigation with shower and bathtub options
– added secondary setup for Britta, Saga, and Signe showering/bathing; randomly chooses between scenario 1 and 2; presently available during the ‘night’ time (view with spycam)
– changed entry point in Captain’s Sleeping Quarters to immediately face bed during ‘night’ and ‘nocturn’ times
Some of the planned work to be done for the next version includes:
– Adding some spycam content for girl’s cabins (after changing a few texture elements)
– New content with Britta, Saga, and Signe (with plans to upgrade gpu, which has been delayed, it is currently uncertain which new content will be in next version; current gpu is a 2080ti 11gb, which is already falling short for scenes in current version, planning to replace with a 4090 24gb)
– Add another option with sleeping Katya (nothing added in this version, because with Daz lighting changes requires remaking entire sleeping Katya content)
Important Ren’Py change!!! Updating to 8.x, which will add Apple Silicon support. (Dependent upon figuring out fix for metal detector display in treasure hunting mini game; currently, metal detector is not shown using 8.x – edit: fixed this, but it will make some saves incompatible, but so far the new day screen is a safe save point)
– Thus far, still using Ren’Py 7.4.11, but tried updating to 8.x temporarily. This caused a couple of things to not work correctly (more superficial things like the playtime counter and preferences sliders bars marker placement).
– Among other reasons for updating Ren’Py, 8.x adds support for Apple Silicon, and even though the vast majority of players are using Windows, RVNSN Games is committed to doing its best to support macos and linux gamers (disclaimer, as someone who also uses mac, Apple is infamous for making changes with its os updates that break software, quite notably games, so compatibility with future macos versions cannot be guaranteed, but the worst would likely be a delay while game engine makers work on compatibility).
– When trying out 8.x during the development of version 0.0.3.5, found that 8.x saves do not appear to be compatible with 7.x, although the 7.x saves seemed to work fine with 8.x, but save compatibility cannot be guaranteed.
v0.0.3.0
– numerous re-renders due to Daz Studio lighting changes and scene improvements
– made new ocean/waves props and shaders
– made cabins for Britta, Saga, and Signe
– changed dead end/game over choices to reincarnate before choice (while retaining negative points earned from bad choice)
– story continuation through first night back on Ránsö
– first use of spycams
– some general editing
– converted all music tracks to 112kbps to reduce file size and for better consistency
– blackjack DOES still have a bug, so save before playing it (bug leaves image(s) of cards on screen that will not disappear, but it does not affect any saves prior to encountering the bug
