Engine Work

We have acquired a player of the game to start work on the new engine and they're making great strides towards an engine of our very own. Have some screenshots! For less than a day's effort, they're off to a hot start. They are already aware the money doesn't actually exist until April after Patreon fees fire, but they're eager to get going.

Seeking HTML5 programmer!

Behold: https://www.freelancer.com/jobs/Website-Design/Flexible-Survival-Conversion/ We are officially on the lookout for a programmer to make our next-gen engine, that should be entirely web compatible and without the limitations of Inform. Do you want to get in on this? Click above, put in a bid! We'd love to have a community member doing the programming.

The King is Dead, Long Live Patreon!

Your support was immediate and encouraging. As promised, since we hit $50, Flexible is back to being tierless, with every player getting access to all the content immediately. If you haven't already, consider dropping by https://www.patreon.com/FS and joining the Patreon, even for a little as a dollar/month, to help support the game, its authors, and continued development. Thanks, Nuku

Do Away with the Sub System?

Are you tired of the tiered system? Do you want everyone to have access to the same game at the same time? Do you want to have more say in the development of the game, get your own scenes and/or art, and get listed in the credits of the game?

All of this is possible!

Head on over to our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/FS and show your support. If we can hit and cruise at $50/month, I will do away with the tier system entirely. If we can go higher, well, we got ideas(FS re-written with a modern engine? It could happen)!

Have an idea for a tier? Don't be shy. Let us know about it.

Thanks for riding with us,
Nuku

Artwork Backlog

In advance of Furnal Equinox next week, I finally got around to posting up the artwork I've collected over the past several months on FA.  Among them were four new pieces of Flexible Survival artwork.  I'm really happy with how all of them turned out and I hope you enjoy them as well.

     

     

As usual, I will be attending Furnal Equinox again this year.  If any of you are going and would like to chat, just message me in the forums and we'll see about arranging to meet up.  I'd enjoy the opportunity to get some direct feedback from the players.

Moar!

Long overdue is another update on the advancements and additions made to the game.  Due to Wahn's wrist injury, his material's been largely on hold.  He's coming up with ideas and getting stuff together, but has no new material released at this time.  On top of a bunch of typo corrections and minor tweaks/improvements, we've got the following material added:

Stripes:
Knight and Squire (Feb 21): The bold if sometimes arrogant knights are roaming the Urban Forest in search of glory.  Their squires are roaming around there as well, seeking to prove themselves to their knights and to further their training so they might best 'service' their well-hung masters.  Both of these react differently to the type of player they encounter - be they knight, squire, (passably) human or 'monster'.
Yolanda + Dom Icarus (Mar 1): A pair of threesome scenes involving these two are now available from Yolanda.
Skunkbeast Lord (Feb 2): There's a set of special scenes for visiting Zephyr when completely infected as the Skunkbeast Lord.
Ewe/Ram (Feb 2): New endings added to account for male members of the flock who've been sufficiently 'trained' by Leon.
Bunny Jock (Feb 8): New player loss oral scene. 
Wolverine Guard (Feb 8): New player loss oral scene.
Peacock (Feb 21): New player loss oral scene (for males/neuter).
Ninja Cat (Feb 21): New player loss oral scene.
Heat (Jan 25): Status notifications are now included in the player's description.

Blue Bishop:
EDIT: Salamander (Mar 5): A new bound-state struggle against the Salamander and her elastic tongue, lest you end up in her belly.

Others:
Xinacs (Feb 12-20): Streamlining and clean-up to the inventory system as well as other functional improvements.  Thanks a bunch.

Suggestion Box Pointer & Lots of Artwork

Hey everyone - this is Wahn, bringing you a new assortment of FS-themed artwork to enjoy.

And besides that, I want to direct everyone to the Bonus Hour Suggestion Box over on the forum... thanks to generous donations, I have got 12 hours worth of free writing to spend on something - or several somethings. To give more depth to what characters and monsters we already have, it'll be an expansion of existing content. So if you have an idea for a new scene, event or otherwise that builds up on npcs and monsters already in the game - drop in on the forum and post it (or give your support to ideas already posted there). Once we have a good assortment, there'll be a poll to chose between the ten or so top runners.

But now, back to what the post actually is about - lots of sexy artwork. Do check out the artist's links if you wanna see more of their work, or maybe even commission them.

Starting with a generous contribution by Koreka, here's Brutus the demon in his good and evil incarnations (commission drawn by Inkydemon):

 Another awesome piece brought to you by Koreka is Rane the oni (commission drawn by Inkydemon):

Also him pounding Marc against a high rise window:

Now to mix things up a bit from big-dicked hunks, have a look at Female Diego (commission drawn by Valderic):

 And here's Jennifer the cheerleader, enjoying some stretching exercises with Septus the wolfman (commission drawn by Cirrusthecloud):

Back to content by Koreka, we have Hayato the oni (commission drawn by Kartos):

And another Hayato pic - this time balls deep in Eric (commission drawn by GeneLightfoot):

After that, it's Carl's time to have some fun - with David in this pic commissioned by me (commission drawn by Hufnaar and Nokturnalkittie):

...and also fucking Sven (commission drawn by Iztli):

While we're at our furry friends, here is one of the shadow beasts from the Trevor Labs underground (commission drawn by Hioshiru):

 And the two shepherds on the farm, Shawn and Duke (commission drawn by Hufnaar):

While we're at the farm, the felinoid does have a certain interest in Corbin (commission drawn by Valderic):

Then a guest appearance of Tristian, the horse stud in the Palomino club (commission drawn by enaya-thewhitewolfen):

A wolfman and jaguarman, ready to take turns with the player in a dark alley (commission drawn by Latrans):

 Here's the elven hunter from out in the urban forest (commission drawn by Alexandre86):

A little action between a jaguarman and satyr in the museum (commission drawn by Clamories):

 Then there's Danny, a mall rat I've been wanting to put in FS for a while now (adopt drawn by Dragonpunk):

Here's a look at Mike taking one of his dogs for a walk to the park himself (commission drawn by Darian821):

And another of Mike doing a bit of "training" with his doggie (drawn by astaraelabhorsen)

Gabriel the angel, in the look once he's "tamed" (commission drawn by Darian821):

While we're at angels, here we have a piece of amazing fanart, depicting Evil Elijah pounding a catboy (drawn by Nokturnalkittie):

 A little shower orgy between David, Chris, Eric (pre-transformation version), Marc and a caveman (drawn by Niceshirt):

Here's a close-up look at Marc's tattoo (drawn by Kadel):

For a change again, let's have Alexandra, shown hiere with a jackalman master (commission drawn by Porin):

And finally, Boghrim the orc boss, letting his favorite slave Jason take a ride on an orcish pole (commission drawn by Headingsouth):

Okay, I think that's it, for the most part. Hope you've enjoyed the little picture flood. If you do have any fanart for FS you wanna show off too, just let me know and we can put it up...

Nuku Edit: The wiki server was very unhappy with providing a bunch of full bandwidth pictures to everyone, bogging it all down, pictures removed.
