Concubine changes
Update 0.4.2 is now live.
This update brings the first version of the Tattoo System to Concubine, the new Imperial Princess Lingerie Set, character body and outfit improvements, pose updates, vendor variety changes and combat balance adjustments.
Tattoos are the main feature of this update, opening up a new layer of customization for both the main character and companions.
Let’s take a look!
Tattoo System
Tattoos are now available in Concubine.
You can now apply tattoos through the character customization screen and create more unique looks for your main character and companions. Each character can have their own tattoo setup, allowing you to create different identities, companion styles and screenshot looks.
Tattoos can currently be customized across several body regions:
Chest • Back • Lower Back • Belly • Left Arm • Right Arm • Left Leg • Right Leg
Different tattoo designs support different visual options. Some tattoos are color-customizable, while others are full-color designs with tint support.
When editing tattoos, the customization camera will focus on the selected body region, making it easier to preview the tattoo placement and overall look.
Tattoos are also supported in Pose Mode and companion-related character screens, so your customized characters can keep their look across different presentation options.
Tattoos can be removed by selecting the active tattoo again, making the customization flow cleaner and easier to use.
Please note that this is the first version of the Tattoo System. We will continue expanding tattoo options, visuals and customization support in future updates.
Imperial Princess Lingerie Set
The Imperial Princess Lingerie Set is now available through Lucieta.
This new set expands the Lingerie System with a royal and elegant style, giving players another option for character customization and outfit combinations.
As with other lingerie pieces, Imperial Princess can be mixed with costumes and armor pieces for different looks.
Character Body & Outfit Improvements
We made significant updates to the shared character body model used by the main character and companions.
In gameplay terms, this should help characters look better during animations, poses and outfit combinations. Armor pieces, lingerie, boots and other clothing items should generally fit the body more naturally and behave better in motion.
These changes may also improve some harem girl visuals in the Palace where the same character body setup is used.
This is a large character model update, so some equipment combinations may still show clipping or visual issues. We are continuing to address these cases as we find them, and your screenshots and reports are very helpful.
Character and outfit improvements include:
Better body behavior during animations and poses • Improved outfit fitting on the character body • Better footwear behavior for boots, heels and covered shoes • Better stocking and toe visibility behavior • Improved outfit behavior for the main character and companions • Several armor and clothing pieces adjusted to better match the updated character body
Updated Poses
Since the character model itself has evolved, the pose system also received attention.
We revisited several existing poses to better match the updated body proportions and character weighting. These changes should help characters look more natural in poses, reduce awkward bends and improve screenshot quality.
This update includes:
Improved sitting poses • Improved standing poses • Improved foot and arm positioning in selected poses • Better pose compatibility with heels and footwear
The pose system is still evolving, and we plan to expand it further with additional options and improvements in future updates. Even so, these adjustments should already provide a noticeable boost to character presentation.
Outfit & Gear Adjustments
Several outfit and gear pieces received visual adjustments to better support the updated character body and reduce visible clipping.
This includes improvements for selected skirts, tops, boots, sandals and lingerie-related footwear.
Some of the adjusted items include:
Sand Serpent Skirt • Chaos skirt • Scorpion Warrior boots • Nomad Temptress sandals • Coarse Leather belt • Emerald Huntress pieces • Lunar Huntress top • Midnight Siren pieces
Companions should also display their shoes more consistently, including in the Palace.
Vendor Improvements
Armorsmith and Weaponsmith vendor inventories have been improved.
They should now offer more variety when you visit them, while still keeping one item of each type available.
This should make vendor visits feel less repetitive and more useful when looking for different gear options.
Combat & Balance Changes
This update includes balance changes for bosses, companions and several mid-to-late game encounters.
Several bosses have received health adjustments to better match the current combat progression and player power level. In general, mid-to-late game boss encounters should now last longer and feel more challenging, especially as players progress further into the game.
Boss balance changes include:
Mankurt’s health has been increased to make the encounter more durable • Korsan’s health has been significantly increased for a longer boss fight • Zebellah’s health has been significantly increased to better match mid-to-late game progression • Alamet’s health has been significantly increased to make the fight more demanding • Salome’s health has been increased to better match her intended difficulty
Companion damage has also been reduced to keep party combat balance under better control and make player decisions more important during fights.
These changes are part of our ongoing combat and progression balancing. We will continue monitoring feedback and adjusting values where needed.
Level, Cinematic & Navigation Updates
We also made several small level, cinematic and navigation improvements.
Fixed a navigation issue on the Rumeli ramp • Updated parts of the Topkapı cinematic presentation • Improved camera, blur and depth-of-field behavior in selected cinematic scenes
