Trap Quest Release 15 Version 5.2 - Shame Games In Crisis

SHAME GAMES IN CRISIS AT HALLOWEEEN

Our beloved Trust and Safety Team at Patreon have deleted our account, without warning, without communication (including to the support ticket we made over 24 hours ago), and without a final payout. We don't know why, but we are not holding out much hope for any kind of reasonable appeals process, based on what has happened to similar creators in the past.

Shame Games can suddenly not pay our staff. Not only is this devastating to Aika and their family's ability to pay their mortgage and bills (Aika has two small children if you didn't know, so thanks Patreon), but other people who relied on us are in similar positions with rent and so on.

There can also be no new art drawn for the game until this is resolved. And by resolved, we mean that the vast majority of the nearly 1000 subscribers we just lost on Patreon rejoin us over on SubscribeStar.

This is brutal. It's horrifying. It's causing panic attacks. But we will endure, and we will recover. But we desperately, desperately need to do so as soon as humanly possible, and so to that end, are experimenting with a new subscription incentive: Limited Edition Content.

Limited Edition Content is small but cool stuff that you need an active alpha tester subscription, or a subscription within a few days, to ever be able to access. To be clear, we will either never, or perhaps rarely, ever provide an opportunity for people to access this content again, but if you DO join now, and get the passcode now, then you'll be able to enable it and access it in any future version you desire, forever.

As it is the spookiest day of the year, our first attempt at this is a 'spookiness' clothing attribute. Read on in the changelist below.

CHANGELIST

Notable Changes

Halloween mode has been enabled by default. All players can disable this in the Seasonal Content settings submenu when doing a full fresh New Start.

Alpha Testers - Content Available For This Weekend Only ($18 per month)

SUPER SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION SPOOKY MODE! As we desperately try to recover our 1000ish lost Patreon subscribers and try to get them to move over to SubscribeStar, we have come up with a new LIMITED EDITION model to alpha tester rewards.

Current alpha testers, and anyone who pledges within the first few days of November, will be given access to a special secret command that will enable a new magical attribute type of clothing for the rest of the run - 'spookiness'.

Most clothing that would be 'autobinding' will instead be 'spookiness'. Spookiness clothing disappears when first picked up, and begins to 'haunt' you. What this means is that whenever you go up or down a set of stairs, there is a luck-based chance to have one of these items that's haunting you suddenly remove clashing clothing, and spawn on you. You'll want to get rid of it ASAP, because if you go through a warp portal while wearing spookiness clothing, there is a very good chance that it punishes you with a 'bad teleport' - i.e. you get teleported into a trap or NPC's clutches. (This also destroys the spookiness clothing.)

People who have enabled this content can also use the cheat command "spookify [item]" to turn an item of clothing that's in their possession but not worn into the spookiness attribute. You can then drop it and pick it up again to trigger its fun stuff.

Fixes

Fixed a bug where presenting yourself at the dungeon altar instantly made you a 'sinful priestess', even when you were a virgin.

More fixes coming very soon, when we're not running around with our hair on fire.
