Hello everyone! Here are some updates:

  • All the new cards have been drawn (resulting in a total of 26 cards, including their upgraded lewd versions). I am currently working on the diary pages.
  • I need to draw 2 CGs for a sidequest, and I am actively working on that.
  • Subsequently, I will send the game to my beta testers, and upon their feedback, we'll release this chapter. o/

I am in the process of revamping the card game, adjusting the values and locations of the cards. This may require you to replay chapter 1. However, I am also developing a shortcut that will allow you to jump directly to chapter 2. More information about that will be provided later.

Following the release, but before I begin working on Typhon's chapter, I will focus on the missing sidequests and the implementation of a gallery. Additionally, I'll create a shortcut to play the card game directly from the main menu.

Within these sidequests, a new collectible will be introduced: the crystal balls. These will enable you to explore the pasts of selected side characters, accompanied by additional lewd CGs. It's a way to get to know these characters better. I already have stories planned for some dudes, but I might post a poll on Twitter/BlueSky to let you choose which dudes you want to see next.

Once again, thank you for your patience! o/

are there any updates? This Is one of my favorite games.

Hello !
First, thank you, that's an honor !
Second, I just finished drawing the last card. I know I said that already, but I kept adding more. Ran into a big problem as I changed a lot of rules, to make them a bit more complicated, so it took a while to code and debug. But it's done now !

Now here's what I'm working on : I need 2 CGs to finish a quest, and 2 diary pages. After those 4 pics, I'll be done, it will enter debug phase. Trying my best to work on it as quickly as possible. o/

Developer

Just finished the last line of code of chap.2 ! o/
If I have time this week, I'll draw one last diary page (I have only draw one so far, as I was focusing on the main quest) and then we enter debugging phase.

Developer(+1)

Debugging phase started o/

Major bugs are out but I still have to code minor things like music and scene transitions. Should take approx 1 week.

After that I'll send the build to my betatesters and then we're kind of done. :)

Developer (1 edit) (+3)

Slowly but surely.
I'm going through all my code to debug the screen transitions and the imagebuttons. It took a good week to get it working but now that I understood the thing/got the right code, it """""shouldn't""""" take long. Again, thx for patience, we're almost there.

Any update?

Developer

Not much good news, unfortunately. I've changed a little something in the game that made the whole thing bug like crazy. Spent a good 3 weeks playing an replaying the game to correct shit.
All the cards are done. Diary pages as well. I'm currently checking the last straight line of the game. It will be done this week.
Last thing I'd like to implement before releasing the build is a new UI for the inventory, as a new collectible will drop in a next update, and I've drawn more cards than initially planned. Doing my best to do all of that as quickly as possible.

Developer(+1)

Can't believe I'm finally saying but chap 2 is done. Dx This week, I'll attack the new inventory screen, then we go beta-testing.

Im so excited to see this up again! I cant believe it's been so long I forgot about it up until just now!

Developer(+1)

Yeah sorry about that ! Codded the first chapter when I had way more free time. You won't have to wait that long for the next chapters.

Developer

WE'RE DONE, BOYS !! o/ Chap 2 (Ruben's route) is done. Will send to beta-testers tomorrow. Hopefully, there's not much to fix.

I'm really looking forward to chapter 2 of the game

Developer(+4)

Yo people ! Chap 2 - Ruben's route will be available this sunday ! WE'RE ALMOST THERE !!

Again, thx for you patience. I hope you'll like this update. ❤️

Developer

Ladies, gents and everyone in between, chap.2 - Ruben's route is available to download !
- Game was quickly beta-tested, so don't hesitate to use the bug report topic if needed.
- As a lot of things has been changed in chap. 1, delete your previous Lubrificanus files if you can, as it may fuck up your game.

List of collectibles coming soon.

Developer

Collectible locations updated. See topic.:)

Developer(+1)

So Chap.2 (Ruben's route) is done (still need a bit of bug fixing, but let's not talk about that...), what's next ?

As I posted earlier, this chapter was truncated with several side quests so as not to make you wait 2 more years. Before I start working on Typhon's route, here's what to expect for the next update :

  • A gallery, accessible from the main menu
  • Money Maker will be accessible from the main menu and you'll be able to get special rewards from it (unrevealed cards, new profile sprites, WIP drawings and new CGs). This card game will be independant from the in-game one, which means the cards you'll get/upgrade won't be in the main game.
  • A big sidequest starting a new currency : orbs. Orbs will give you access to small scenes featuring various characters, which will allow you to discover the daily lives of these characters before Lubrificanus. 2 scenes are planned at the moment : Rhin/Sambre and Tristam/Lou. In the future, I will ask you to pick your favorite heroes to be featured in those scenes.
  • We'll see what's behind the glass window, in the Green Mansion. This sidequest was planned in case you break Money Maker and earning money is getting too easy. You'll find a simple way to spend cash.
  • I'd also like to put 4 orbs and 3 additional diary pages in that update.
  • A shortcut/cheatcode that will let you access to chapter 2 without playing chapter 1, and one that will give you free money, for those who just want to rush in.

That's it ! A lot of work to be done, but I'm motivated ! I'll keep you updated.

Also, thx a lot for the whole lot of you who played this update (and the ones who sent a tip ! <3) ! It's far from perfect but it's hard work, so I hope you liked this chapter ! See ya soon ! <3

Developer

hello everybody ! Just a lil update to say I'll resume coding the game in January. 2024 is a mess, I need to draw fanarts. :)

Also, will delete my Twitter so follow me on Bluesky if you can !

hello, just want to tell that this game is really one of the best porn games that i played, being so funny and having a lot of horny moments lol, is really good and a change on the games that are just depression, will be waiting for the other chapters,  good job man

Developer

Happy New Year everyone ! <3
Resume codding right now, starting with a huge-ass bug report. After that, I'll start the missing quests and bonuses of Ruben's chap 2, then it ill be Typhon's time to shine ! o/ Thx for your patience ! <3

Developer

Hey everyone! Quick update:
February through June is usually the most challenging period for me at work, and this year was even worse. Progress on the game has been minimal so far, but I should be able to dedicate more time to it moving forward.
I'll do my best to release a build this weekend with bug fixes and a shortcut to level 2. Nothing too fancy, but it's a start! After that, I'll begin working on a side quest, aiming for a late June deadline. Apologies for the delays!

Developer (2 edits)

Quick update, so you know I don't play Mario Kart and beat my meat 24/7.

Next update will be Duke's shop. A weird guy in the forest selling items for you to buy/use. Here are the pics I'll have to draw for this sidequest :

  • Duke sprite : DONE
  • Duke/Ruben CG #1 : DONE
  • Duke/Ruben CG #2 : DONE
  • Duke card + upgrade : DONE
  • New diary entry : TBD

In addition to this, Duke will sell you an item and it will be up to you to choose who to use it on (you will have the choice between 4 characters). So getting all the CGs for this item will require you to save/load your game.

  • Duke item #1 : DONE
  • Duke item #2 : DONE
  • Duke item #3 : TBD
  • Duke item #4 : TBD

Still confident about a september release. You can already see Duke's sprite on my bluesky.

3 quick things :  I'll try to post updates every month, even if it's not interesting stuff, like this post.

Second, Duke is the OC of my buddy CummyTomato. Check Duke's game Dukeporne here : https://mrtomatoesquire.itch.io/

Third : Thx so much for your donations ! <3 Thinking about a way to thank you all in a more concrete way !

Hey everyone ! A short update.

Have to focus on some unrelated work for an upcoming convention planned for this november, so I won't be able to work as much as I wanted on Lubrificanus. I'm still drawing CGs when I can however, so time is not lost !

I won't give a new deadline, as I'm not good keeping those, but will try my best finishing this update ASAP. Will keep you updated (and will post a lil preview of the new CGs on my bluesky when I'm back home from Greece).

See ya, and thx for your patience (as always) ! <3

Developer(+1)

Hello everyone! Just a quick update.

Since September, I've been working on materials for a convention, which took place last weekend. I'll be resuming the development of the game now.

I have about 5 CGs left to draw before I can start coding. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post a new build before 2026.

See ya!

Hello, is the game still being developed?

Developer

Hello ! Yep, just finished a CG 10 seconds ago. o/
Dev as been slowed down a bit as I'm tired af thx to my day-time job but I'll try to keep working on it as much as possible.

I've posted the pic on Bluesky already but here's a CG included in next update :


This CG is part of a mini-quest including multiple characters. I have 2 left to draw + the diary page.

i see, i was getting afraid because i really liked the game so far

Developer

No problemo ! The gooner in my head is trying to make me draw more CG but that'd be like 15 CGs for a single quest. We'll see how it goes ! 🫡🤓
