Greetings and salutations,

Three quick points this time around.

1. I've been updating my status effect code. Without going into a lot of detail, I can now trigger status effects based on essentially arbitrary conditions, although still not quite as broad in scope as Hades. I've added 5 blessings to each succubus queen, which means you should be able to get bonuses to weapon attack damage, special damage, crit chance, crit chance multipliers, as well as changes to dash speed, spawn in AoEs, etc. The latest version has just been posted.
2. The sex pose system is still being overhauled, but I expect that to be finished around the end of March.
3. I wanted to give a shout out to a few different NSFW games that I've been enjoying. First is Kalyskah, which is an amazing RPG with sexual elements also being developed on itch.io and supported through Patreon. It is still very early on in development, but further along than I am. I wanted to highlight the quality of the writing, animations, and the world they are developing. The combat is pretty fun, but I'd really love to see what the game looks like in its finished state. The second one is River's End, which seems to be similar to the Fallout franchise, but with sexual elements. This is also early on in development, but could use your support as well. Lastly, LifePlay. This is basically a sexed-up version of The Sims, where you can take control of a main character and go through their daily life: meeting people, hanging out, working, paying the rent, etc. You can develop relationships, buy businesses, and do much more than I can cover adequately here.

I wanted to highlight these three in particular because I feel that they have done a great job integrating the sexual mechanics into the game world and game mechanics.

Not to shit on visual novels anymore than I've done indirectly before, but the vast majority of NSFW titles on itch.io are visual novels made with ren'py. Ren'py comes with a lot of the work done for you, in terms of save systems, menus, etc. It takes time to make the backgrounds, character art, and sexual animations, and of course the story, but mechanically, these are quite quick and basic to put together. NSFW titles tend to fall into two categories: ren'py projects with too much story and little or no gameplay, and sex simulators with no story and no mechanics outside of sex.

Projects like Kalyskah, River's End, LifePlay, and Battle Succubi, which have gameplay mechanics and sex mechanics, are few and far between. If you've enjoyed Battle Succubi at all and want to support other projects, please give River's End, LifePlay, and Kalyskah a try as well. They are all much further along in development and deserve your time and attention as well.
