Scarlet Maiden Official Launch

Otterside Games

Hello everyone! Scarlet Maiden is finally fully completed and ready to leave Early Access! Since the Early Access release earlier this year, it’s been an awesome journey bringing this game to completion. Thank you everyone for the support and feedback you’ve given us along the way! This patch will focus on adding a final layer of polish to the game as it leaves Early Access. Let’s see what we’ve been working on!

Meet new characters!

As you journey through the dungeons of Scarlet Maiden, you’ll meet various characters who you can have lewd encounters with. This patch adds 3 new characters, each with their own lewd animation. These new characters bring the total number of lewd animations in the game to 69(nice!), all of which can be viewed at your pleasure in the gallery, once they've been unlocked.

New weapons and items

We’ve added a bunch of new weapons and items to the game. New powerful items include legendary artifacts such as the Dildo Sword and the always useful Cock Ring. We’re sure these items will aid you in your adventure.

Dungeon improvements

New decorations have been added to bring some variety for our dungeons. We’ve also added new rooms to the dungeon generator. We also did a final round of balancing and fixed some minor bugs. That’s it for now! But don't worry, we still have more content planned for the game! Updates may be a bit slower from here, since we will also be focusing on new projects, which we hope you guys will find as interesting as Scarlet Maiden! And once again, thank you for the support and we hope you enjoy the game!

Update V1.3.0 Patch Notes

Otterside Games

Hello everyone! We have a major update ready for you guys, which will bring the main story of Scarlet Maiden to a conclusion! Let’s see what we’ve been cooking!

The Twisted Sanctum

The fifth and final area of the main storyline is called the Twisted Sanctum. It is the domain of the main villain of Scarlet Maiden. Fight your way through new enemies and obstacles and face the final boss who is waiting for you at the end! The ending sequence has also been added to the game, so after you defeat the final boss, you’ll get to see what awaits Scarlet after the world is saved.

Character Updates

We’ve added several new lewd characters for you to meet in the Twisted Sanctum! There’s also a new side quest available from Misty, and the maximum level of the NPCs at Sinner’s Rest Abbey have been increased, so they can be levelled up to provide you with even better gear! We’ve also added new story texts to the dungeon, which conclude the stories of the First Maiden and the Lewd Explorer.

New items, skills, and achievements

With the new area comes new weapons, rings, amulets, and a new spell! We’ve also added new skills to the skill tree, so you can level up Scarlet even further. There are also some new achievements to unlock, and plenty of new stuff for the gallery!

Other changes

- Various bug fixes - Balancing changes

What’s next?

From here we will be focusing on polishing and balancing the game based on your feedback, until we feel that the game is ready to come out of Early Access. But don’t worry! We are planning on adding new content after the full release, so there are still more adventures in store for Scarlet. And finally, a big thanks to everyone who has played the game and supported us on this journey! We hope you enjoy the content and we’ll see you in the next patch!

Update V1.2.3 Patch Notes

Otterside Games

Hello everyone! Thank you for all the great feedback you’ve been giving us about Scarlet Maiden! With this new update we’re bringing in some of the features many of you have been asking for. Let’s see what we have in store for you this time!

Fuck the bosses

All bosses now have their own lewd scenes after being defeated. Instead of simply adding lewd animations, we wanted to add something that adds to the gameplay. So, with the lewd scenes comes a new minigame! Depending on how well you play the minigame, you’ll receive 1-3 randomized buffs which will last for the duration of the run.

Fuck everyone

Some of the enemies, like the wicked witches, have not had lewd animations. But now they do! All enemies in the game now have a lewd animation. And of course, they can all be unlocked in the gallery as well!

Item recycling

Lots of items can drop during a run, but not all of them are useful. So now you can convert all items you don’t need into sin with the new recycling feature!

Quality of life features

  • NPCs at Sinner’s Rest Abbey can now be upgraded more easily. Instead of repeatedly pressing a button to buy a small chunk of XP for the NPCs, you can now choose how much sin you wish to spend.
  • Since passing through the portal removes all remaining sin from Scarlet, our portal guardian now notifies the player if they still have enough sin to buy some upgrades.
  • All settings can now be adjusted during gameplay, such as remapping the keyboard controls, and adjusting the screen settings.
  • The game now has support for full screen borderless window mode.
  • All lewd animations are now cancellable, so you can make your way faster through the dungeon.

Other changes and fixes

  • Arcane Submission spell no longer kills enemies in one hit. It will trigger the submission if the killing blow is made with this spell.
  • Randomly rolled damage reduction stats reduced on items.
  • Fixed bug where the player took damage during the teleport animations.
  • Typo fixes.
  • Fixed bug where Game Over screen sometimes showed the reached dungeon name to be "Test Dungeon".
  • Various UI glitch fixes - Blessing statue used animation runs every time room is entered - Prevent item drop prompt from opening on top of HUD elements - Fixed issue which caused certain sprites to flicker when on top of each other.
  • Resolved issues where certain achievements were not unlocked correctly.
  • Audio fixes.
  • Fixed issue where ice pillars pushed player through walls.
  • Fixed issue where sin particles we not able to move past room doorways.
That’s all for now, and we hope you enjoy the new features! The next update will be a big one, which will add a new area, boss, enemies, and lots of other stuff to the game, so stay tuned for future updates!

Update V1.2.0 Patch Notes

Otterside Games

Hello everyone! The time has come to continue Scarlet’s journey through the Underworld with the opening of our new area, the Frozen Passage! This is a dark and cold domain but worry not. The floors aren’t the only thing that’s slippery in this place. Scarlet will get to dig deep into many slippery adventures with new friends and foes alike!

New World

With the new Frozen Passage area comes new enemies, weapons, rings, amulets, and of course a new boss at the end. Misty also has a new quest waiting for you, and we’ve added lots of new lewd encounters for you to experience as you make your way through the Underworld. There are also more journal entries to discover, and plenty of new stuff to unlock for the Gallery we added in the previous update.

New NPC: Candy

As you enter the Frozen Passage, you’ll get to meet Candy, our latest addition to the crew of helpful NPCs. She will use her spacetime bending magical powers to help you in your quest. Once you’ve found her, you can ask her to change the dungeon starting location to keep the runs compact. For now, she will allow you to skip one area, but her powers will grow in future updates.

New Weapon: Hammer

We’ve added a completely new weapon category to the game to keep things interesting! With the new hammers, you’ll be able bonk your way to victory! The hammers also strike the ground, creating a shockwave that moves forward and deals damage to enemies in it’s path. This can be useful if you want to keep your distance from the dangerous foes.

Buff System Revamp

The buff system has gone through an overhaul, and instead of just having one buff at a time, the buffs now stack. You can now have all sorts of buffs at the same time, but also multiple applications of the same buff stack. The buff effects have been reduced but you can now benefit from all buffer NPCs you come across in the dungeon. Now any NPC you find will be beneficial to your adventure!

Other Changes

  • Runs can now be ended from the pause menu. You can keep your Sin amount and return to Sinner’s Rest Abbey.
  • Various balancing changes to enemies and items.
  • Dungeon generation tweaks.
  • Bug fixes.
That's all for now! We hope you enjoy the new content!

Preparing for Launch!

Critical Bliss

Message From The Dev

We’ve been working hard to bring you an enjoyable experience straight from the start of Early Access. Let’s go through some of the core features you’ll be digging into. The game will have 3 unique worlds at launch. Fight you way through the Mines of Sorrow, The Royal Library, and the Subterranean Forest. We also have a hub called the Sinner’s Rest Abbey, where you can pick up quests, talk to NPCs, upgrade your character, and get better gear from the local vendors you’ve rescued from the dungeon. There's a wide variety of deadly enemies and traps that await you in the dungeon, as well as a total of 20 unique enemies, elite enemies, and of course deadly bosses. Sometimes enemies will submit when being defeated, giving you the opportunity to have your way with them! There are 50 different weapons, rings, and amulets in the game so far, which are randomized on drop to provide an endless supply of different quality loot. With a lot of different spells at your disposal and a robust skill tree, you can build a character to fit your preferred playstyle! Would you want to be a sword wielding warrior, or a spell slinging mage? Why not get the best of both worlds? The choice is yours! And let’s not forget about the lewd content. There are over 25 fully animated lewd encounters you can experience while you make your way deeper into the dungeon. The side quests also reward you with even more lewd scenes in Misty’s Sex Dungeon which can be accessed from the main hub area. We have plans to improve all aspects of what we have so far, but we find it very important in today's EA climate to come out the gate with a sizeable amount of content for you to enjoy. Expect improvements and much more content moving forward.

Content Update 1: The Frozen Corridor

We are already hard at work on the first major content update. We hope to have it available 1-2 months after launch. The new update will take you to the Frozen Corridor where you will face new, fierce enemies, slippery floors, and slippery lewd scenes. We will be adding a whole new world to the game, new enemies, new boss, new items, more lewd scenes, more of everything. And we hope to hear your feedback from the first release to make the game even better.

Message from the Publisher

Hello everyone! Critical Bliss here! We will soon be releasing Scarlet Maiden in in EA for very very soon. We grabbed these devs a few months after they released their steam page and decided to give this project they were working on some support. We enjoy helping developers achieve the maximum potential for their products as it ensures that you guys get the best experience possible. Our in-house art team as already assisted in spicing up some of the game assets, such as some of the high-definition sprites. You can see examples of what we have done so far below: Old New As the development of the title continues we will continue to support the dev with high-definition sprites. We are even helping in the HD animation department! CB is excited to work with Otterside on this and future titles and show this and other devs coming from the sfw gaming environment that the adult market is a nice and cozy place to be at. The better this game does in EA the more faith he dev will have to push in even more content than what was originally planned. So by all means if you are enjoying the game already, please be sure to leave a review and if we have areas that need to improve please be sure to leave feedbak in the appropriate thread once we have launched. Thank you everyone for your time, we look forward to getting your feedback and seeing this project grow to it's 1.0 release. See you on the 27th of January!
