Akane Unlocked

 Finally, after lots of work, we did it~!

The first NPC for Collars has finally been added, and all they systems have had their foundations built, so no messy complications.  We've added potions, extra pregnancy mode toggles, a 'gender/sexual equipment' toggle in the cheat settings, and more~!

To unlock Akane, you must find Comberidge City, which can be easily done by going to the bus stop dude west of town, right before Brightwood Forest. Or you *could* go east and find it all on your own, and collar a single horny slime person on your way over there~ After finding the city for the first time, you'll get a phone call the next day from your best friend as you leave the bed room. From there on, you get to meet the foxy nurse face to face, and they actively show up on the map from then on. 

You can do a whole lot with Akane now~! She's fully potion compatible, pose-able, and has her own page on the wiki now~! https://collars.fandom.com/wiki/Akane

It's going to be hard to talk about all the new additions and fixes that are in this new version, so I will let some screenshots do it for me~!

It has been a long gap between the last update and this one, so we do apologize for the time it took. However, it was needed for all the new changes put in the game and we are excited to finally put it out!

 

Unlocked Area + Saki

 Hoo boy, is this update big...Saki the slime is now obtainable for one. Finally, all profile edits : DONE. Intimate sex scene options : ALL DONE. Intro fetish options...DONE! Also all maps for the new Dreamy Pines area...You guessed it...DOOOOOOOONE!! I'm just a smidge excited for this update, as it pushes a lot of content out this time. While the new maps have been added, the forest Inn remains in progress, but is planned to function as a temporary sleep area along with your house and tents in Brightwood. For the next update, I am working to get the nagas remade for the new battle system, as well as get the equines ready for release.

 

 

I added a little more fetish content with Saki specifically, given the opportunity for it. Along with being able to just feed them 20 jars of girl cum/semen as opposed to having sex with them to get them to join your party...I also made it so that if you have an unoccupied womb, you can 'carry' them home...and 'release' them. Along with one of their sexual options being 'get consumed' which just means the player can have Saki envelop them as they feed off their fluids. Oh, and of course they can be male, female and genderless with either a cock or vagina at any time, so I am proud to say that this is the most versatile npc in the game so far~

Along with new content, I have also optimized major scripts in the game. Ones that run for sleeping , time skipping and weather changes specifically. Time skipping should be much, much faster now...And the other scripts were cleaned up for better functionality.

Just a casual reminder that if you are a patreon, you can get sneak peaks on updates, new content and even special art being made in relation to the game.

As always, happy gaming~!

 

Mains and Side Pieces

 2.99 is still being beta tested, and while the bugs are being hunted and the issues are being rolled out, we are finalizing the last few steps needed before our semi liquid house mate gets their debut in the game! They even have a final name for their character : Saki! Normally, I would add in a small quest and a few dialogue bits first, slowly expanding their content through other patches...Not this time. Saki has a few sex scenes under their to-do list, including one that has to happen for their addition to your house! Once they have their intro, some dialogue, 1 "recipient" sex scene and 1 "giver" sex scene, they will be ready to obtain! Of course, this is still one of the sub-npcs in discussion at the moment...

 Those of you who are patreons of the game already have seen Akanes first profile draft in all it's beauty. We've discussed some key differences between main npcs and all the sub-npcs we have in the game. This includes, but is not limited to changing hairstyles, potion & body morph compatibility, and more emotional changes such as arm poses.

Akane is our first step into making headway into the main npc part of the game, and is quite the foxy one at that...literally! Long time fans of the original Collars will remember the suggestion draft right before we had to scrap the game, and the winners of said draft. Currently, Akane technically exists in the game at Comberidge hospital, but is a placeholder for her future updated self. Currently, she is a simple npc, not even on the tier of sub-npc. No profile, but just a basic marker for her location in the game. We're excited to have some first concept art of NPC # 1, with plenty of others to follow her debut.

 

Foraging and Fixes

 With the release of 2.98, a lot of issues have been worked out, some mystery ones that have been crawling under the surface for a little, a few notorious ones, and even some little things have all been smoothed out and washed out of the game. A few light additions have been made, notably the ability to actually collect plants and herbs, therefore making the foraging skill useful. Brightwood forest is now covered in plants that seem to sparkle with a "harvest me already!" radiance to them, as well as ore being added. At least quartz, the lesser of precious gems but hey, it's going to be something you're going to need for the alchemy script in the makes as well! So it doesn't hurt to get a little mining experience under your belt.

Ontop of that, we have set in the start of a nifty little setting: the commitment setting! Love the sub-npcs in the game, but a little irritated that they want to flirt and screw around with other npcs? Or do you like a little flirting around but want to be the center of their affection still? This little setting we added to the notebook in the house is perfect for you then.

 

While we are still stitching all existing scenes and sub npcs to this addition, we may have missed a few bits, but we are finalizing it all slowly but surely. And we also have a debt to pay to Mu Nuan, who was promised an alternate sex scene in the intro due to this system. If you set it to "just me", dialogue entries about romantic adventures with other people will either just not exist, or have something else in their place. Anybody who can get pregnant by non-player characters won't, no matter how much time passes or what scenes you put them through. 

A stack of planned additions and content are still being sorted through as we speak, and happy gaming everyone~!

 

Patched version is released!

 As you open up and play 2.97, you might be relieved to notice that finally. FINALLY...

You can chop all of the bright pine trees in Brightwood Forest.

A small updated in the game, the gathering portion of the game is getting some love, as well as the crafting systems. Slowly, but surely things are getting fine tuned. Now that some patching and core mechanics have gotten some extension, it is time to start work on NPCs. And maybe some encounter profiles? As usual, the slime NPC is being crafted, and Lucian/Lucia has some exciting work on the planning board for them...a 2nd trip to Sabine and Mishas lab! 

More to be announced later, or if you want all the previews and inside peeks catch us on our discord!

 

Patreon Page Announced~!

     Yes, we finally got around to making a Patreon page at the request of some of you. You can find it here, where I will be adding special treats later on for patreons. Hope to see some of you there!

 

Eggcellent News

     Version 2.96 of the game is out and ready to get your hands on, and while the list of additions is shorter than your normal update, it has a very important detail in it...

What details you ask? Why, obviously...The naga encounters in the jungle now have portraits and working sex scenes! Even more wonderful, this will be the first pregnancy that links up to the new egg system!

And a bonus little treat for everyone...Izuna makes an appearance as a pin-up!
