FS News - June 2024

Hi everyone, this is Wahn again with the Flexible Survival News for what was written/added during June 2024.

As a security in case anything might happen to the FS Patreon account, we now also have a Subscribestar account. If you want to support further development of Flexible Survival, why not become a subscriber there.

Engine Work

Due to the fact that FS recently overtaxed the Inform engine once more, until we thankfully got a fix from the nice developers over there, the decision has been made to port FS to a new platform. Efforts have been started to put together a new version in the more timely engine Godot. For the foreseeable future, FS will still run in Inform and additional updates are coming out for that, but we've got people working on something new and shiny at the same time.

Updates

Beach Reunion: The follow up event to Holy Moly, this event can be found at the beach where you’ll learn Galaxite’s plans to plunder the city with the help of their many draconic children. Or take on the mantle of the Dragon Breeder, build your own flight, create kobolds to serve you, and potentially pull off the biggest steal of the apocalypse. [Sundered-Dragon]
Dragon Breeder: Obtainable via the Beach Reunion event and available only to gravid females and herms with the dominant feat, this new evolving form, though powerful, comes with a few strings attached. Can you manage your draconic urges? Do you have what it takes to break a god? [Sundered-Dragon]
Dragon Pearl: A key item in the Dragon Breeder story arc, this item is one of a kind and serves as the sole source of the Dragon Breeder infection. [Sundered-Dragon]
Dragon Raider Galaxite: First hinted at in Only the Lonely, a preview of this new story is now ready for your enjoyment. [Sundered-Dragon]
Hazel: Hazel has grown tired of just spending her time in the library. After more than a little convincing, she manages to convince Vanessa, Meredith, and Gwen to accompany her to the museum. Some things, however, cannot be planned for... [Prometheus]
Holy Moly: The kick for this new arc, starting in the sewers once your character has reached level fifteen, you’ll have a chance to save them from a tentacular fate, or leave them and see what happens.
Sascha: You can now ask him for oral in the mansion. [Voidsnaps]
Snapjaw: Added variations to his dialogue when asked about his superstrength, and he will now cycle between three different workout scenes upon walking into his side of the beach camp. [Gherod]
Sturm: Sturm has some new character art, courtesy of Sundered Dragon and Gherod! [Prometheus]

Bugfixes & Balance Patches

Bug Fix: Thanks to some help from emerald, it should no longer be possible to accidentally wander into the Last Chance.

 Upcoming/In the Works

These are projects and commissions that our writers are committed to, something for you to look forward for the future.

Blanche/Sturm: Continuation of the multiple ways in which they can spend time together. [Prometheus]
Fang/Altus: Scenes of the wolf and the gryphon together. [Prometheus]
Void: Expansions to the swamp, including further exploration of Ignacio and Matteo (some of which is noncon!). Also POSSIBLY (not set in stone) a storyline to take advantage of some feral dragons near the dam. [Voidsnaps]
