[Insert log-winded rant about how I'm lazy and how the pandemic has been delaying my progress etc. etc. etc.]

There's an early testing version for update 9 available in the download links now. I don't have a coherent changelog as I've been lazy with keeping track of recent changes, but here's what's new that I can remember:
-Kaya's house is now available with two new NPCs to eat and be eaten by. These are still very much a work in progress, so things might be broken or missing. Let me know if you find something that's broken or missing and I'll try to fix it (screenshots will be EXTREMELY helpful in this case). Images are still WIP for most of the scenes, so it's RPG animations and text only at the moment. Images are next.
-New sounds for burping and digesting (can be turned off with the Game Settings book item)
-Several updated pixel sprites for the player and several other NPCs.
--The updated player sprites now show the player's weight gain as they eat more NPCs.
-An updated and animated main menu.
-A couple of misc. updates here and there involving bug fixes, tuning, and etc. etc. etc.

As always, if you see something is broken, say something is broken! I do as much testing that I can, but I can't catch everything. Again, thank you for your patience and I hope I can release the full version 9 update soon.

Nice to see this getting worked on again thought this one had ended up on the back burner to fade out over time but I suppose I was wrong! Keep up the good work!

I did find one broken part if you escape Kaya, but fail the fight after wards, the scene locks up. I guess that Kaya is supposed to move, but cannot pathfind out of the tub.

Thank you for pointing that out, apparently the issue was that after the maid "ate" the player, the maid was unable to travel over the player's now-invisible body. I just added a keyword to her move route to allow her to pass over any obstacles, and for good measure I also added it to all of her move routes at that part in the different branches. I'll be uploading the fixes soon. Thank you again!

I'm uploading the second iteration of the update 9 test version now, the downloads will be unavailable for about half an hour while I delete and replace the old files (Cloud storage limits suck). Here's the changes:
-Fixed at least two bugs involving the player getting soft-locked in the new scenes.
-Added dialog that I forgot to add in the event that the player sneaks into the house first, leaves immediately, and then knocks on the front door.

More updates will come as people report bugs and I flesh out things that need to be added.

Hey there!
It's great to see things slowly starting to shift into gear again :)
I had found a bug in the 8th version(Revival tablets don't seem work out of combat, maybe they do during battles, but i forgot to check), but i don't know if it's still there, i'll probably edit the post once i'm done downloading the new version...

At first i thought i had read(in the guide) about a lethal unbirth with the stripper elf... but apparently i was dreaming (she really has great scenes tho) xD
I was wondering, would Ruby run out of juice for doing her little trick multiple times? Cause in that case, we could give her a hand with the refilling part :D

Apart from Daydreaming, you've done a great job so far, and i can't wait to try out the 9th version!

I didn't do very extensive testing with the revival tablets (or the entire combat system, apparently. That will needs its own dedicated update at some point to balance it), but I may have found the issue: I had them set to remove the "downed" state, and do nothing else. Out of combat, that would make them useless as the player and party members apparently revive themselves at the end of battle with 1hp, and in combat it would just remove the little skull icon and not actually return any much-needed health. I've updated them to be a little more useful: They now restore 75% of the consumer's health, but it can only be applied if the consumer is currently downed (and thus is force-fed it by another party member). The same now goes for the Revival Spell that Lilith has. I did a little testing and they appear to be working in combat now, but they still can't be used outside of combat to heal back up: you'll have to use standard health tablets for that.
Edit: These changes will role out with the Early version 3, which will likely be uploaded sometime in the next few days (or next few hours if I patch a critical game-breaking bug).

I can't say I remember any other characters that have Lethal Unbirth scenes aside from the new character Kaya and also possibly the mother Rosa who forces a game over by trapping you in her womb for the remaining duration of the pregnancy. I'm glad you like the dancer's scenes! As for Ruby, I'm not sure if I'll add more scenes to her in chapter 1, but I've already got her spot reserved in chapter 2 where I'll need to write new scenes for her, so a CV scene with her is not out of the question.

Decided to give the new V9 Early 2 a whirl and I'm back with a bugreport:

I stumbled upon it after defeating Esmeralda and deciding to explore the house before eating Kaya.

If you decide to eat Kaya while standing in the bath, the animation will bug out. If Lilith is with you, she'll disappear and when the game walks you out of the bath, you'll either:
  • Get stuck on-top of the wall, if you stood below Kaya.
  • Soft lock the game if you stood to the right of Kaya, as the character is trying to move out of the screen.

Screenshots:
Spoiler: show

Sorry for the size, I couldn't be arsed to crop them.

Note that I did this while sneaking inside together with Lilith. I'll try doing it alone and then escaping Kaya, in case it's any difference in those.

Good work on the update though, I look forward to the completed cutscenes.
Good luck with any future development!

...huh. I could have sworn that the player wasn't able to move into the pool tiles outside of the scripted movements, so I only planned that vore scene to occur with the player standing to the left of Kaya outside of the pool. Thank you for pointing this out, I'll add conditional catches to have the player move to the correct position for the other two possible spots in the pool.

Okay, Version 3 of the early Update 9 testing version (I really need better names for these) is uploading now, so downloads will be down for a little bit (Mediafire is typically the faster uploader if you're waiting). Here's the updates:
-Fixed an issue with the door leading out of the house in certain branches.
-Made some changes to the revival item/spell that should hopefully make them less broken.
-Fixed a soft-lock issue in one of the new scenes because I forgot that the Amalgamation can wade through waist-deep water.

Edit: The Mediafire cloud storage has some extra space, so I'll keep the Early Version 2 available there until Version 3 is uploaded.

Think I found a bug. When I ate Kaya(by myself), and went downstairs, the after the sex scene started playing out. Now I did have sex with her before hand, but whenever I tried entering the building(through the front door), the cutscene replays again.

Thank you for the bug report, but I wasn't able to replicate what you've experienced. To try and replicate it I engaged in the bedroom event with Kaya, and then went through the back entrance of the house and ate Kaya after passing the speech check with the maid, but going downstairs (and re-entering the house through the front door after leaving) did not trigger the sex recovery scene for me. I did go ahead and made an edit to that scene so that there's no chance of it triggering again once it's completed, but the original safeguard against that scene ever playing was to check the variables indicating if anyone relevant had been eaten and not trigger if it found that either the maid or Kaya were eaten. If you ate Kaya and the scene still played out when you entered the downstairs room, then that might be indicative of me forgetting to properly set the "Kaya Eaten" variable at some point, which could cause more problems down the line.

If you have time, can you elaborate on which actions you took to lead up to the bug you experienced? I understand that you engaged with the sex scene first which implied entering through the front first, and then you ate Kaya which implies entering through the backway afterwards, but what actions did you take with the maid? That would help me greatly tracking down where the real problem is.

I did select all the talk options when I meet the maid at the front door again, but outside of that, there isn't anything else that I remember doing.

Sorry, it's been awhile. You can always try your luck with the Wayback machine before PH launched their tactical nuke. I doubt any webpage backups will have the video itself, but you might be able to get the video title and search through Google for either the game itself if the title includes the name or find a copy of the video at a 3rd party video site that tends to rip videos from other websites (if the other video websites steals the video, it probably just directly copies the title too so it shouldn't be too hard to find).

Uploading version 4 of the testing update now, the only changes are a couple of fixes that might prevent the player from leaving the house either through the door being inaccessible after eating Kaya, or a cutscene playing that should not be playing.

I have to say i enjoy the game. I am surprised an yet glad that updates are resuming. I cant wait for V9. I hope that it continues, i also have to say the way the 3d models are done it isnt to jaring (like to photo realistic) because it has a art style it actually looks quite good (i usually dont go near 3d modeled vore games to much due to how jaring the models can be fore me.)
