Harlot Art - Bebi Ansikt-Sitta

As I've mentioned in previous posts, I've been commissioning art of harlots for my current game project: House of Hellish Harlots.

Here is the adorably naive facesitting specialist, Bebi Ansikt-Sitta.




If you wish to play with her, you can find her over on the houseofhellishharlots.com website, where she has a full scenario in the public demo version of the game.  It's a text-only Twine game for now. I am currently working on a more advanced version with art.

To help fund the commissions, I created additional $5 and $10 tiers on Patreon and SubscribeStar.  As a reward they get to see the artwork earlier.  I also give them the original scripts to read as well as a full rundown on the background and inspiration behind each character.  This extra financial support is much appreciated as otherwise I'd struggle to get all the characters done (HoHH has over 75 harlots currently).

Once the period of timed exclusivity is up, the plan is to post the pictures publicly to help promote the House of Hellish Harlots game project.  We've now reached the end of that first period, so it's time to start showing off some harlot art.

I hope you like her!

The artist is Marwmellow.  You can find more of their work on deviantart here.

Hentai Game Review - Succubus Duel (サキュバスデュエル前編)

This was a pleasant surprise.




The developer is Irojikake Matome.  They were also responsible for Succubus Senki, a hentai monster girl version of Advance WarsSuccubus Duel (or Succubus Card Battle, I'm not sure of exact translation of サキュバスデュエル前編) is a card game, similar to Yugioh (I think), and is a rare hentai game where the game mechanics are also as good as the H-content.

The player takes on the role of a rookie Card master, who's training up to find a sister that was abducted by succubi some years previously.  As part of his training he heads off to the nearest city to improve his rank by battling other Card Masters.


The city where everyone has big boobs


So far, so typical fantasy RPG.  The main difference is the battles are done through card games where the players summon heroes and monsters to fight on their behalf.  The players can also get stuck in themselves (and both the player's attack power and LP (life points?) will level up over the course of the adventure).

Male Card Masters have the generic wolves, goblins and knights, and those fights take place without any H-content (there are two during the course of the game).  Female Card Masters have monster girls and succubi, and they fight... dirty.

With succubi influencing the world, the current 'meta' is all about pleasure attacks and the women have a distinct advantage.


I think the lamia wins this round...


Most of the H-content comes from the card battles.  Summoned monsters and even the opposing player will attempt to win through induced ejaculation.  Pleasure attacks can impart hidden weaknesses on the player (and his units) such as weakness to boobs, and subsequent attacks of that type do more damage as well as opening up the target to sexy grapple moves.  The dirty tricks don't end there.  If a sexy unit is 'defeated', her last action will be to tempt the opposing unit/player, often with a time limit.

The card game itself is surprisingly good.  I think it has some similarities to Yugioh, but I'm not familiar enough with that game to know if this is its own game with some similar mechanics/cards, or a straight rip.  The player can summon a single creature a turn, which can attack the moment it comes out.  Advanced summons require the sacrifice of one or two creatures in play depending on the advanced summon's power.  There are trap cards (red) that trigger under certain circumstances and magic spells (green) which can be set or cast right away.  Players cannot be attacked as long as they have summoned units to defend them.  The individual games are fast-paced, which is fortunate, as you'll need to grind quite a few battles in the city to unlock content.


The deck editor


There are also a surprising number of cards and archetypes to build.  New cards are unlocked by using in-game gold to buy packs.  I haven't played around with different builds too much.  The default starting deck is pretty good as it is.  The player has a Black Knight card, which is very powerful and likely has some plot significance.  All I needed to do was replace some of the weaker units and that was enough to get through the game, so don't fret if you're not too hot at card games.  The only real difficulty spike is the bunny girl, and she can be overcome by adding cards to blow up the opposing player's permanent magic cards.  The cannoneers are useful for this.


I don't think I'm going to be able to put up resistance against that...


The campaign sees the player battling through a series of checkpoint opponents, either as part of quests or to rank up within the guild.  In between the checkpoints you'll be grinding up ranking points by battling a selection of opponents in open challenges within the city.  It's not too grindy.  You won't need to fight anyone more than a couple of times, and will often want to anyway in order to experience all the various... ahem... delights their decks have to offer.

Praise needs to be given to Irojikake Matome for the variety of opponents.  There are about 20-25 opponents in total.  Each has a deck themed around a mechanic and a type of monster girl, and there are 2-4 monster girls in each deck, each with their own scenes and Bad Ends.  Overall I think there are around 90 characters with H-scenes, which is an impressive amount.  Some are also quite inventive.  I liked the MILF tavern owner with her fleet of cocktail fairies.


Who wouldn't want a drunken party with these lovely fairies... 


Most of the H-content is animated, but it's fairly simple – if effective – distortions to give the impression of movement.  As with their previous game, Succubus Senki, there is a heavy emphasis on boobs.  About 80% of the scenes feature big bouncing boobs, either in the face or on the cock.  I like big bouncing boobs, so this wasn't a problem for me, but I think the game could have maybe done with a bit more variety.  To only have two regular vaginal intercourse scenes out of 90 (Jellyfish Girl and Aegis Angel) is a little strange, but it's what the circle is known for, so manage your expectations accordingly.


It's not all boobs...

While the game doesn't have a gallery as such, it gives you plenty of tools to experience all the available content.  The Reminisce option allows you to refight anybody and gives you the option to look at the opponent's deck and force them to summon any sexy succubus from it.  The player also has the standard surrender options if they want to let the sexy succubus have her way with him.

The other thing to be aware of is this is Part 1.  The first part is the ranking up arc, and then it ends with a cliffhanger as the naughty succubi show up to take over the city.

(There's actually some nice foreshadowing of what their plan is and how it's put into operation before it happens.  Why does that Card Master with the mermaid deck randomly have a completely unrelated succubus in it?  A nice touch.)

I don't think this is much of a negative.  The game already has plenty of content and there are a lot of cards to experiment building new decks with.


Energy drain paizuri - the ultimate finisher


I really hope the game gets a proper English translation and maybe even a Steam release for more people to play it.  It's a really good game.  I look forward to seeing what Part 2 has to offer!

House of Hellish Harlots v0.052 (Nicolette)

I've updated the public version of House of Hellish Harlots to v0.052.  This adds another harlot from one of my old stories... sort of.

Nicolette
Okay, let's be honest.  It's Nicole from my stories... kind of.

Nicole is a popular character of mine.  However, while I've been able to sneak other characters in, I know most of Nicole's back story and have very specific plans for her in future stories, and there are quite strong lore-specific reasons why she can't be here.  To get around that, I've added Nicolette, a suspiciously similar expy.  I didn't want that to be too lazy, so I've also snuck in a few little lore tidbits to explain what's going on.

As for the scenario.  It's fairly straightforward, being a rewrite of some of Nicole's waterbed scenes in "Locked in with a Succubus".  Unfortunately, I didn't realise how much I'd have to deviate from that, and - as I've found with some of the H-space bestiary updates - sometimes trying to edit and alter an existing story can be fiddlier than just writing something new from scratch.

The scenario isn't very complex to play through.  Nicolette in-universe fangirls over Nicole, and shares a lot of her attitude and mannerisms because she wants to be like her.  To get around that, it's a fairly long and detailed sex scene (about 6K words).  Like Nicole, Nicolette also likes to give men a thorough pampering.

Her scenario also serves a mechanical purpose within the game.  As to what that is, I'll leave it to players to discover.

You can have fun with her here:
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

Patrons and subscribers are a couple of releases ahead.  I'm back to my regular end-of-month release schedule, so they had v0.054 yesterday.  That release also adds a 'beneficial' harlot.  Friesya Holstun is a buxom and sexy cow girl nurse-in-waiting, and her scenario features lactation, a nursing handjob, and - of course - lots of big boobs.

I've also been getting a lot of art commissioned of the harlot characters, and have been previewing it for higher tiers as part of an ongoing Harlot Spotlight series.

If you like what you of the project, please consider helping to fund it at Patreon or SubscribeStar

Harlot Art - The Madam (2)

Here is some more House of Hellish Harlots art.  Not commissioned by me this time.  You have Atlantis27 to thank for this one.  He commissioned Thraeh for another piece of the House's boss, The Madam, and kindly allowed me to share it here.





There's a nice baroque style to this, which fits for The Madam.  She's been around for a very long time, but is still elegantly gorgeous.

I'm still intimidated by the prospect of writing her scenario.  It's going to need to be special to do her justice.

Anyway, until then, I hope you like the art.  Thank you to Thraeh for creating it, and Atlantis27 for commissioning it and kindly allowing me to share here.

You can find more of Thraeh's art on his DeviantArt here.  There are a couple more HoHH pieces Atlantis27 has had commissioned, including more of The Madam.

House of Hellish Harlots v0.051 (Sister Squeeze)

New Year and new update to House of Hellish Harlots!

Version 0.051 adds a requested character from my short stories.  This adds a harlot scenario featuring Sister Squeeze from my old short story "Squeezed".

Sister Squeeze
Her speciality is sexy roleplay.  It's a comic book superheroes and villains roleplay.  Sister Squeeze roleplays the sexy femme fatale villainess.  She'll either let the player defeat and "punish" her, or defeat and dominate them.

The wrinkle is that Sister Squeeze has actual powers and they're pretty dangerous.

Going behind scenes, what started as a straight rewrite of her story sex scene ended up being a little more complex.  When working out her mechanics, I didn't know whether to make Sister Squeeze an early round Tier 1 harlot, or a much more dangerous late round Tier 3.  In the end, the spot I needed to fill was in the Tier 1 bracket and I felt it fit her personality better.  However, if the player is unlucky, they can get her Tier 3 version, and probably won't survive it.

(As always, if you'd like to see her Tier 3 version, you can always bring her a Black Rose.  This might be the scenario where it has a real use.)

Working on her background was fun.  Is this the same Sister Squeeze as the story?

Maybe.  I worked some lore in to make it work if needed.  I'm still not sure whether I want to bring that story into the wider universe.  This might be the same Sister Squeeze, or it might be a very similar character with the same name.  I'll leave my options open.

You can check out the new version here:

Patrons and subscribers are still roughly a couple of releases ahead.  I got knocked off schedule Oct/Nov and I'm gradually getting back to normality.  They received v0.052 with Nicolette on Christmas Day and will be getting a new one with the 'forbidden smotherer' in a few days.

I'm also still hard at work on a newer version of HoHH that isn't just basic text.  I've commissioned a bunch of art of the various harlot characters and have been teasing it on Patreon and SubscribeStar.  If you like what you see of the project so far, please consider supporting me there so I can continue working on it.

I put up a public post yesterday with my plans for the year.

I hope 2024 will be great for everyone!

House of Hellish Harlots v0.050 (Toxina Luxú-Sapo)

The public version of House of Hellish Harlots has been updated to v0.050.  This adds one new harlot scenario.

Toxina Luxú-Sapo
Toxina loves a good sexy wrestle in the mud.  She is, however, the 'poison frog' harlot, so special care must be taken while playing with her...

Toxina is pretty tough.  She's maybe one of the harder Tier 3s.  She'll probably kill you a lot, but at least it will be fun.

You can check out the new version here:
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

October and November were a little messy as I'm also working on the upgraded version of HoHH with graphics.  I'm a little late with scheduled updates there.

Patrons and Subscribers received the delayed v0.051 release a few days ago.  This adds Sister Squeeze from my short story "Squeezed" as a new harlot scenario.  As with the pre-existing characters like Eve Satana and Acarina, her scenario is a mix of new material and rewritten old material.

I'm hoping to get "November's" release out mid-December and then get back to regular schedule at the end of December.

Commissioning artwork of harlots is going well.  I have art of most of the 'smother' faction now.  To aid me funding it, I've created additional $5 and $10 tiers on Patreon and SubscribeStar.  Subscribers to that tier will get an early look at the new art as well as access to my original scripts and a deep dive into the lore background and inspiration behind each harlot.  Support at this level is to help me convert HoHH to a proper indie game with artwork, and is much appreciated.

I'm still trying to get back on top of things, so might be a little slow in responding to comments.  I hope you enjoy the new release and have fun wrestling Toxina.

Harlot Art - Suffocatrix Assphyxia

I've been getting artwork of harlots commissioned as I look to take House of Hellish Harlots away from being a text-only game and give it actual graphics.

Here is the bootylicious Suffocatrix Assphyxia.



Artist is Marwmellow.  You can find more of their work on DeviantArt here.

To help fund commissioning all this art (there are 75 harlots in the House currently and the final number will be around 100), I've created higher Patreon tiers ($5 and $10).

As a reward for subscribing at this tier, patrons will get a first look at the new art as it comes in as well as access to the raw scripts and my behind-scenes thoughts on both the lore of the character as well as some insight in how I came to write them.

The first harlot in the spotlight is the adorably naive facesitting specialist, Bebi Ansikt-Sitta.  Here's a little teaser of her art.



The full version can be seen on Patreon here.

(I'm hoping to have it also up on SubscribeStar later this week.)

Yes, I know there is a heavy amount of Patreon shilling going on in this post.  But in this case virtually all of the higher-tier money is going towards paying for art for every harlot character in House of Hellish Harlots.
