Lunar's Chosen - Episode 1 news & patch notes

This is just a small update to fix a bunch of small bugs, typos and similar such errors, as well as updating compatibility with the Steam Deck. There is no new content in this update. - PTGames

It's here! The first release of V0.1 for Episode 2! As I've mentioned before, this isn't going to be a hugely story content heavy release (although there are 16 new story scenes), as a lot was changed between episode 1 and 2, which required me to make a lot of other content, such as new rooms, new minor scenes for those rooms, new systems etc. It was a lot of work. That said, I'll drop a changelog below, as there is still a tonne of content to explore and find (some of it hidden). Of course, secret images are still a thing, but now there's going to be hidden scenes too. These aren't scenes you'll have to really go hunting for, but they will be scenes that won't be listed in hints. So you get an idea of what has been changed/added, I've added a changelog below! Get the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2697200/Lunars_Chosen__Episode_2/ Changelog: - New introduction - New PC Menu - New Preferences Menu - New room picture/pc mechanic - New house rooms - New phone system - 5 New shop items - 34 New minor house scenes - 16 New story scenes - 3 New side character scenes - 1 New repeatable scene - 5 New secret images - 5 New masturbation/sex toy scenes for the main character - Revamped Amy repeatable animations in the gym - 3 New photoshoots - 3 New minor shower events - 5 New replays

It's done, Episode 1 is officially "complete". I say complete in quotes, because knowing me, I've missed something and there will definitely bugs that need fixing. If you've played V0.26, then you've played all the content there is in Episode 1. V1.0 is simply a polish on existing content, marking the end of development of Episode 1. I did update some older renders, as well as updating a few animations, so if you're interested in playing again, it'll at least look much better! Episode 2 will be going live soon, which will continue the story right where Episode 1 left off. Speaking of which, what did everyone think to the ending? Let me know, but try to avoid posting spoilers! I really hope you enjoyed Episode 1, it was a strange project to work on as it was originally only meant to be a learning project, but it some how evolved into a whole game. I have a habit of doing that, that's how Saviour of the Wasteland came into existence... Anyway, thanks for playing and I hope you stick around for Episode 2!

V0.26 Release! Well, this arrived far faster than I expect, the ending of Episode 1! This is a huge milestone for both the game and myself. When I first started creating Lunar's Chosen, I never thought it'd reach the size it did, both in terms of the amount of content and popularity. If you're wondering by the way, I checked the total amount of dialogue for Episode 1 while looking into translating the game, there's over 484k words of dialogue! That's just dialogue, not code or anything else, just purely the bits you read in the in game text box. That's an insane amount of words! Anyway onto the update, this update includes the ending of Episode 1, as well as more story for each of the main characters. It has a whole new location, the movie theatre, where you can take each of the main characters on a date once you unlock it, resulting in 9 new repeatable scenes! Speaking of repeatable scenes, I also updated Claire's footjob animation to be an actual animation! Unrelated to content, I've also added a new feature in that you can name your save files. Most players don't really use this, so it's off by default, but if you want it, it can be toggled on in the preferences menu. Finally, to address why this is V0.26 and not V1.0 despite being the ending of Episode 1, that's because V1.0 will come later to Itch and Steam. It won't contain any new content, but there's a few things I want to give an additional layer of polish before I call it the official release build. Changelog: - 12 New story scenes - New location: cinema! - 9 New repeatable scenes - 3 New secret images - Ability to toggle on/off naming saves (Default is off, can be found on the preferences menu) - Remade Claire's footjob repeatable scene with new animations. - Added the final scene! - Fixed a whole bunch of typos!

Hi there! As some of you have noticed, Lunar's Chosen recently changed name to Lunar's Chosen Episode 1. I know some people hate when games go episodic, but there are good reasons for me doing so and I want to take some time to explain to you the reasoning behind it. This is going to be a long wall of text, so strap in! First of all, the code is a mess. I started this game originally as a learning project. It was never meant to be something that was out and about in public as a real game. As such, it's extremely poorly coded and that poor code prevents me from doing a lot of cool things I want to do, which I'll get to later. Could I recode it and tidy everything up? Sure, but it'd be a huge project and take a long time. If this was the only reason to go episodic, I wouldn't bother and would take that time to recode it, but there are other reasons too. Build size. This is a weird point to have and doesn't apply to you guys on Steam, but I also release the game on other platforms and one of the main complaints I have from them is that the game is growing big to download. Certain hosts have a limit to the amount of data you can download in a day and many users hit that cap and can't download the game. This isn't a huge problem, until you look at the android build. I already crunch the hell out of it and it's starting reach the file size limit. Going episodic helps relieve both of these issues. Speaking of the size of the game, it has grown far beyond what I originally planned. As I said above, this game was originally a learning project. It was meant to be short, teach me the basic and then left alone. Somewhere along the way people started really enjoying it and asking for more, so I obliged. Then I was told to put it on Steam and I did, but I didn't think the quality or the quantity was worth charging for so it was free. Then people said they'd pay for it and I added a load more content, so it gained a price. It was still intended to be finished long ago, but as I kept working on it, kept going back and improving the quality of older content and just had more and more to add so it's still going. Which is one of the reasons why I'm okay with making the game episodic. I don't personally feel like I'm cheating anyone out of content with episode 1, since there's already way more content than originally planned. That said, all of the above isn't enough reason alone for me to go episodic, there's also some huge benefits which I'll talk about now. First, we have the code. As I mentioned, it's a mess and wasn't set up in a smart way. Neither were the scenes or the content flags. One of the main complains I get about content choices is how often the game asks you if you want to do something you've already said yes or no to. Another is if you play with futanari on, suddenly the game is filled with them. What if you wanted more control? That's where being able to build episode 2 from scratch comes in. I can create preferences where players can control exactly what content they see far more than they do now. Want Amy to be the only futanari character? You can do that. What about if you want Amy and Leanne to be futanari, but not Meg? Sure you can do that too. What about gender swapping? Not into you're character being turned female, but you're fine with body swapping with one of the female characters? You can do that too. On top of that, tidying up the code makes the game far easier to manage. Right now I waste a lot of time trying to figure out where, how and why I wrote something the way I did and then figuring out how I need to write something new to make it work with what I created before. It's just a mess. This would also allow me to implement some changes to the game that I've been wanting to do, but would complicate the code even more if it were added into the current code. So I'd be able to add new things that are currently too tricky for me to spend time on. Next is translations. I get a lot of requests for translations of the game, but since I'm still working on this version, constantly adding, changing and fixing things, any translation would would also need to be changed or those players would get a lesser version. So right now, I'm not getting them done. If the came is complete though and going to be unchanged, it would be much easier to get translations created. Achievements! Everyone loves achievements, but most also hate when achievements are taken away from them or changed. As it is right now, I can't put any "final" achievements into the game such as "sleep with every character" because what if I add a new character you can sleep with? Going episodic gives me an end point for the episode and allows final achievements to be added, which is much more satisfying for players. Finally, let's talk about money. "Aha! See! It's just greed! I knew it!" Let me just stop you there and say no, it's not greed, if it were, then every side character who isn't important to the main story, such as Fran, Hillda, Ellie, etc would have all been DLC you had to buy. Hell, I've just recently told players in my discord I won't add more content for them as DLC as, if I'm making episode 2, new content for them would go into that as it'd feel scummy to take content that should be part of the main game and purposefully leave it out to sell as DLC. I am looking into if it's possible to give players who bought Episode 1 a steep discount on Episode 2. No idea if it's possible, but it's an avenue I'm looking into. So hopefully this has given you some insight into the major reasons why the game is becoming episodic and shown you that it's not just some greedy cash grab. I know some of you won't be convinced and that's fine, frankly before I started doing this and learning what was involved, I'd have likely thought the same thing so I don't blame you. But hopefully most of you reading this can see the huge benefits of an episode 2. Oh and don't worry, Episode 1 isn't ending just yet, there's still content to come! If you made it this far, thank you for reading this wall of text and I hope you continue to enjoy playing the game as much as I enjoy making it! PTGames.

It's here! V0.25 is now available for everyone. This build contains new story updates for all main characters, except Serena, as well as a whole host of other content. I finally got round to adding all main characters sexy scenes as replays, so you no longer have to go back to old saves to see scenes again. I hope to add all side characters in a future update. Speaking of future updates, I will be putting up another post about that soon, so keep an eye out for that! Anyway, for now, here is a changelog of everything I've done in this update. V0.25 Changelog: - 11 New story scenes - New Main Menu - New Menu Buttons - Can now sleep with Amy at night - Can now read Amy's mind at night - Can now sleep with Claire at night - Can now read Claire's mind at night - 6 new animations - Changed Vee's model variable to fix a bug, may result in players needing to do her photoshoots again - Added 4 replays for Amber - Added 2 new replays for Amy - Added 4 replays for Claire - Added 2 new replays for Meg - Added 3 new replays for Missy (Under Meg's stats and replays tab) - Added 3 new replays for Katie - Added a replay section for Imry. - Added 7 replays for Imry. - Finally alphabetised the hints and stats/replays screens - Added new profile screen for Olivia - Update profile information for multiple characters.

Hi all! I'm still working hard on Lunar's on the next update, but in my free time (what little I have) I've also been working on another project called Saviour of the Wasteland. It's another adult interactive VN, but with settlement building elements set in an apocalyptic world where monsters roam the night. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/2418120/extras/steam2.png?t=1689331335 The goal of the game is to build up your settlement to start creating somewhere safe for humanity to rebuild, while interacting with multiple characters and working through three main characters unique storylines. There's also loads of random events and a few side characters to get close and personal with. Go check out the Steam page and add it to your wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2418120/Saviour_of_the_Wasteland/

V0.24 is now available! Katie is back after a couple of updates of no new content, while Meg has taken a break from getting content this update. Don't worry, she'll be back next update! For everyone else, there's new story scenes, as well as new animations, new secret images, new photoshoots and one of the most highly requested features has made it to the game: The ability to go to sleep with Amber at night! I had a lot of requests for more animated scenes too, so I've added four new ones to this update. Including one repeatable one for Katie! Changelog: - 12 New Story Scenes - 3 New photoshoots - 4 New Animations - Changed code for sleeping - Added the ability to read amber's mind or sleep with Amber at night - Added a model section to PC for Imry - New buttons on the main menu

V0.23 is here for everyone! This is a bit of a different update from usual as for the first time since the game was created, I'm encouraging people to start a clean save! Why am I encouraging this? Because of achievements! A lot of achievements are granted as you progress through the game, so continuing an old save means you will be unable to get these achievements. That said, if you're not interested in achievements, old saves should work fine, but save files have moved! If you want to continue an old save, you'll have to go to the old save location C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\LunarsChosen-1549893754 and move them to the new one which should be C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\PTGames\Lunars Chosen. Similar changes should be made to MAC and android save locations. Of course, if you are starting a new save, you don't need to worry about that as the game will automatically save and load in the new location! Additionally, there's also some revamped renders and animations in the early game too! For those of you that don't want to find all the secret images again or would like a bump start on money, there are cheat codes available for supporters over on Patreon. Changelog: - 12 New story scenes - 1 New mind read scene in the club - 2 new photoshoots - 51 New achievements - 5 New secret images - Fixed a whole load of unreturned calls, which should greatly reduce error log sizes. - Improved a load of old code - Updated two old scenes with improved renders and new animations!

This is just a quick announcement to let you guys know I've enabled Steam Cloud saves. This should allow you to carry your saves across devices. Please note, I've tested Windows, but have been unable to test MAC or Linux, so please let me know if there are issues with those.

Minor bug fixes. Fixed issue with players sometimes being stuck on Vee's progress. Updated Serena hint to make progress clearer.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41376110/a8d77cdf64decedd85e8d670d0721d412b09f5ca.png It's finally here, just in time for Christmas. Honestly with the postal strikes happening, I wondered if it was going to be delivered on time, but I'm glad it made it! V0.22 is now live for you all to play! It contains a whole bunch of new content, ranging from new story to a bunch of new sexy outfits for Emily to wear. There's also new characters to meet and have fun with, a bunch of new repeatable scenes, a new photoshoot and before I forget, two Halloween scenes. I know, I know, it's way past Halloween, but it was Halloween when I made them! I've also added a whole load of old scenes to the replay system, so you can go back and view them at your leisure, or pleasure as it may be. There's been a few other fixes and changes too, such as a new opacity slider for those of you that want a more transparent text box and literally hundreds of typos and grammatical errors have been fixed! For a full, brief changelog: - 12 New main story scenes - 5 New side story scenes - 4 New repeatable scene - 2 New Halloween events - 1 New photoshoot - Added 8 outfits for Emily - Added ability to change what Emily wears to work during the day - Added Dialogue Box Opacity slider - Added a load of replays - Fixed hundreds of typos - Fixed multiple visual errors

As some of you may be aware, many players support the creation of Lunar's Chosen over on Patreon. One of the rewards for that is access to preview images of upcoming scenes from the next update. Since the third beta will be released soon, I thought it would be a good time to share some of the older previews from the first and second beta updates here with you guys! So, here is a few renders from the next update which will be landing on Steam in December, enjoy! https://i.imgur.com/nPgryuJ.png https://i.imgur.com/9SNXVD8.png https://i.imgur.com/9TINCXL.png https://i.imgur.com/Z1PDPXm.png https://i.imgur.com/BiNs3I5.png https://i.imgur.com/VZSZkrP.png - PTGames

Hey all! Just a quick announcement to let you know that I've just released a second wallpaper pack! It contains 10 unique 4K wallpapers, with SFW and NSFW variants of characters from the game, for a total for 29 wallpapers! Hopefully you'll enjoy having these adorning your desktops. - PTGames

As you may or may not have seen in the last announcement, Lunar's Chosen is no longer free. Unfortunately if you missed it while it was free, you will now need to buy the game if you wish to play. For now the price is not planned to change, but may be review in future or on full release of the game. For those of you who got the game for free, you will still be able to play as normal. Many of you asked for a way to support the game beyond the wallpaper DLC. As such, there is now a donation DLC available for purchase on the game's store page. Please note that this DLC provides ZERO content for the game, it is purely a way for those people who wish to support the game to do so.

This is just a quick announcement to say that with the release of V0.21, I'm now happy with the amount of content within the game to warrant putting a price on it. As such, after the 30th of September, 2022, the game will no longer be free. So, if you were on the fence about trying the game, this is your warning to grab it now while it's free! Everyone who owns it, (even if you've never played it as long as it's in your library), will keep the game after the price change. So if you get it now, it's yours to keep! This also applies to those of you that already own it, don't worry, it won't cost you anything to keep playing and receive future updates. Hopefully by making this announcement and giving you time to get it before the price changes, no-one will be upset with the game no longer being free. Edit: It appears Steam have removed the button to add the game to your library from the store page earlier than planned during the transition to becoming a paid game. Unfortunately this is out of my control and I cannot say whether it'll be back before the 1st of October, but it may already be too late to grab the game for free! I have no control over this I'm afraid.

V0.21 is now here! This update contains a whole bunch of new early game scenes with whole new characters (don't worry, you don't need a new save to see them) as well as new story content for all the main characters. There's also new repeatable events, even animated ones! One of the most common complaints I get is about the lack of things to do in the early game, so I put it to a poll on Patreon and they decided that this update should focus on adding in some early game events. So now there are six new characters to meet and interact with. They won't have any major story like the main characters, but give you something to do in the early game between main story events. I plan on adding a couple more in each update going forward to really flesh out the world of the game. V0.21 Changelog: - Removed 2 early game grind scenes from Amy's story to speed it up. - Removed Katie affection requirements to speed up her early story. - 9 New early game scenes - 11 New Story scenes - 3 New animated repeatable scenes - 1 New non animated repeatable scene - New Character bios - Updated character bios

It's finally here, V0.20 is now ready for public release. This update focuses on Meg as she won the poll, so we get to see more of her story around her mothers. There's a few new repeatable scenes this update, with more ways to pass the time too. Of course, as always there's new story for every character, although Serena only got one scene of her own as she features heavily in Meg's story. I also added a whole new section to the MC's PC; character bios! This page will tell you who each character is, their affiliation to you and their story so far. So for those of you that haven't played in a while, it's a perfect way to remind yourself who is who! Their pictures also change depending on where you are in the story with them! There's loads of other content too, such as more secret images, a commissioned photoshoot and more! Enjoy! Changelog: - 13 New story scenes - 3 New Repeatable events - 2 New toys added to the store - 4 New scenes to pass the time in MC's room - A new character profile page on the PC, allowing you to recap their stories and who they are. - 1 New photoshoot

Just a quick post to let people know I'm running a fan art competition for Lunar's Chosen!

V0.19 is here. Containing a bunch more story for all characters, a huge magical event for Katie's birthday and some strange consequences for Amber and Amy. Not only that, but there's new photoshoots, a new repeatable event, new room pictures to decorate with and new secret images to hunt down! V0.19 Changelog: - 13 New story scenes - 2 New photoshoots - 5 New room pictures - 1 New repeatable event - 4 New secret images

Fixed a bug that prevented players from meeting the new character.

Just a few fixes for some minor bugs.

V0.18 is finally here for everyone! This is a pretty big update in terms of number of new things, while some of the scenes are short, there's a lot of story in them. There's new scenes for every character, including the introduction of a brand new main character! There's also some side story, photoshoots, a bunch of secrets and two small Halloween events! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41376110/bbcd0af793fc8ca5a1cacc6169c66323e939e708.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41376110/99a36d57de5f641e1ddc0a2feea133da611aa6f3.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41376110/9a0810d8db90c6adc47fa4ac92d56ab14296f725.png V0.18 Changelog: - 15 New story scenes - 4 New Photoshoots - 2 Halloween events - 1 New side story scene - 10 New Replays added - 10 New secret images
