News on the next update

Dev Log - Feb 2025 - The next update

Hello everyone, 

here's a little dev log to let you know what we're up to, and what's being planned for Naughty Summoner. 
We heard your feedback, and we're adjusting the game to be more detailed, when it comes to the creatures you summoned,
which is why the next update will be called the "Intimacy Update". 

Getting rid of brute forcing recipes

The first thing, though, will be to change the recipe testing gameplay. We will add a system that will allow you to "research" recipes, using a currency we simply called 'Research Points', which you gain by testing. You're free to spent these points however you like and you get to choose which creature to research next.
To this end, we will slightly change the layout of the ritual book, starting with a roster view, from which you can then select the creature you wish to view. 

Interacting with the creatures

We will implement a new interaction menu, in which you can talk to the creatures, get intimate with them, or even dress them up. We didn't want to implement an intricate affection system or something like that, because we didn't want to stray too much from our original vision. It's still supposed to be a game about summoning, instead of a dating sim. But admittedly now, it's turning into a partial harem game. 

You'll need to talk to each creature a bit, before you can get intimate with them. Also, from this menu, you can ask them to get materials for you. 

Here's a little W.I.P. impression of the menu. 

As for the dressing up, each creature will get an amount of things you can put on them, like underwear or accessories. These will also be displayed in the lewd scenes.

The Shop Menu (finally)

We will finally add the shop menu, in which you can buy upgrades and clothes. 
With the new research system in place, there's not need to make recipes or hints purchasable in this menu, but it's going to be used to upgrade your summoning slots, get more worker slots, increase chances for certain things, etc.

And here you can buy some of the aforementioned clothing items. 

This is where you'll be able to spend 'Money', which is something that had been implemented already in the first version, but didn't have a use. 

Tier 3 Scenes

As mentioned before, this update will bring the tier 3 scenes will all the currently existing creatures. These scenes will be a lot more intimate than the previous ones, and also add a new feature, which is the option to select how the scene should 'end' (if you catch my drift *wink wink*). This choice will then result in different images and dialogue. 

Almost everything you do will cost you part of a day. Originally, we never wanted the skip button to be used often. It was more meant as an emergency button, if there is nothing else to do. But then plan was always to give players enough to do, to not having to use it. We hope that with this update, we'll get closer to that idea.

Finally, there are a few more small changes we will add, but we'll get more into detail in the changelog. There's no saying yet how long this will take, as it is quite a big update, but we'll do our best. 

Thank you for sticking with us and for reading all that stuff. We really want to improve the game and keep working on it and we're grateful for your support and feedback. If you want to support us further, please have a look at our Patreon page. It would help us immensely and we'd love to work with the community more. 

Cheers,
