- 0.18.7 update - 30 August 2026
The deployment of the Chinese version of Vae Victis - Khan introduced some bugs which were related to using a different set of than English characters. The last bug was the most complicated to identify and fix: some users who used Chinese letters in their user computers’ user name were unable to save the game. This update fixes this problem by preventing the game from saving in a path which contains the user name, and I hope this will be the last bug in this version. Another minor bug which was fixed along the way is a minor bug with two images of Queen Nahir which were displayed in a problematic way. Thank you for your patience, I’ll see you on version 0.19!
- Update 0.18.6 - 18 August 2026
Overall, the introduction of the Simplified Chinese translation option went smoothly but unfortunately some bugs did manage to slip through, causing frustration to some of you. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. What’s in this update? Traditional ChineseFine tuning the Absolute Bastard and Life Giver achievementsFixes to various bugs which were throwing exceptions and error messages One problem is not solved yet. For players with non-English user names in their machines, Renpy (the platform the game runs on) suffers communication issues when the path has non-English characters and can't read or write to a persistent file where saves, Settings and game status is kept. Hence, every time the game is launched, it starts a new game. The fix is to force Renpy to keep the Persistency file in a path not related to the user name. This is a sensitive change so we want to test it thoroughly,…

- Version 0.18 is here! - 10 August 2026
What’s new in version 0.18?Overhaul of Dian’s Seduction scenes: animations, dialogs and SFX. Due to the sheer amount of animations and the fact that they portray three people per scene (Dian, Antiop and Karder), I decided to focus on the Seduction path only for this version and have the next version focus on the Dominance path. I will finish the rest of Dian’s scenes in the next release.Three new Achievements: Life Giver: you have impregnated all available ladies Prince Charming: you always chose “Seduction” option when it was available Absolute Bastard: you always chose “Dominance” option when it was availableMany other small improvementsAnd of course: Simplified ChineseEnjoy!
- Update on the Chinese Translation - 7 July 2026
亲爱的中国玩家们： 对于中文翻译的延误，我深表歉意。我知道这个项目翻译起来会很有挑战性，但我低估了它的复杂程度。与其他许多成人视觉小说不同，《Vae Victis - Khan》是一款策略游戏与视觉小说的混合体，其翻译内容主要集中在对话上。这意味着游戏中不仅对话包含文字，菜单、界面、按钮以及许多其他界面元素中也包含文字，所有这些都需要查找并翻译。 我们即将完成翻译。我附上了一些我们目前正在制作的版本的截图。正如您所看到的，其中一张截图中仍然包含一些英文文本。这些正是我现在正在修复的问题，以便最终发布的翻译版本能够完整无缺，并且您在游戏中不会遇到任何未翻译的英文片段。 此前，我预计翻译版本会在七月中旬发布。然而，在检查了剩余的工作后，我认为八月初才是更现实的目标。对于延误深表歉意，我正在尽一切努力确保翻译完整且质量上乘。 感谢您的耐心和支持！ Dear Chinese players,I want to apologize for the delay in the Chinese translation. I knew this project would be challenging to translate, but I underestimated just how complex it would be. Unlike many other adult visual novels, where the translation consists mostly of dialogue, Vae Victis - Khan is a hybrid of a strategy game and a visual novel. This means there is text not only in dialogue, but also in menus, screens, buttons, and many other interface elements, all of which need to be found and translated.We're almos…
- Achievements guide was added to the Help - 8 April 2026
From time to time I get asked how to fulfill some of the trickier achievements, so I compiled a guide for the less obvious ones. It can be also accessed from within the game via Help -> Google Docs (search for Appendix 1). If you feel more Achievement guidance is needed, please let me know and I'll add it.Also: if you're enjoying the game and did not rate it yet, I'd appreciate every Thumbs Up. Thanks!

- Version 0.17 release notes and some thoughts about the next game - 18 March 2026
Version 0.17 is here. It is a complete overhaul of everything Hawatia with more than 70 new never seen before animations and more than 100 re-renders of stills where I thought the old ones could use improvements. Additionally, I added music and sound effects all over the place. This applies to:The Hawatia infiltration quest (Zuri, Lady Zuma, Yuki, the Red Arena combatants)All of Queen Sumia’s palace contentQueen Sumia’s Act 2 (+ Zuri) I had a lot of fun returning to Hawatia, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the revisit as well! Additionally, for the first time, we’ve added a new language (Portuguese) you can choose in the Settings. Next is Chinese and then we’ll add more languages. Next we have a minor quality of life feature: in the Fiefdoms screen, we have added a little dot in the buildings boxes to indicate that a building is under construction. Now you will not have to click on a fiefdom to f…
- Surprise! A new, unannounced version is here! - 18 December 2025
I initially intended to have one final graphic overhaul version in early 2026, but then decided to participate in the Steam Winter Sale, and since I was very close to finishing overhauling the Tinpingia content (Mirina the seamstress who lives with her son, the elfkin jailhouse heist, Queen Teniya etc.) and already finished Angilia's Act 2, I decided to publish this version and continue. So enjoy your return to Tinpingia with new animations, re-renders and sound effects.And now to some more news.I think I lost contact with another developer-partner. This is a bit early to panic since he last contacted me 5 days ago, but he is aware of today’s launch and hasn't shown any signs of life since then, including some small features he was supposed to push and didn’t. Am I some Bermuda Triangle for developers? I hope it’s just a nasty flu. Anyway, enjoy your revisit to Tinpingia!Doorknob22PS: i…
- Version 0.15 is here! - 26 October 2025
Hi! As I wrote in the previous posts, this version does not have new characters and plot, instead it’s an overhaul of everything related to Marbia and the Ziruan Oasis quest: Queen Nahir, Alam, Domia, Fahda, and even Arzu (and her goblins). Additionally, I have revisited Oryenguk to re-render a few dozen images. Therefore, I think the best way to enjoy this update is to start a new playthrough and pay attention to the Oryenguk and Marbia quests. I have also added dozens of special sound effects (water trickling, cups clinking, horses clopping and much more), so I would also recommend playing with the speakers on. Additionally, a quick recap of smaller features which were detailed in earlier posts: Mason’s Guild: unlocks after conquering five fiefdoms. Building it allows construction projects to complete faster. Variable army travel time: troop movement now depends on the distance betwee…
- Version 0.15 status and some thoughts about the next game. - 25 September 2025
Hi all! As I’m starting to wrap version 0.15, I find myself thinking more and more about Vae Victis - 2 (temporary name!) and there are two issues I’d like to consult with you guys about the next game’s design. Should there be less girls but more content for each girl? In his travels, Karder meets many beautiful girls but most of them have only brief interactions with him and are never seen again. While this allows me to introduce a huge variety of races, body types and backstories, the overall experience can feel a bit unsatisfying to some of you. A frequent question I get almost since launch is “when can we see more of girl X?”. There’s a dilemma here: more girls = shorter interactions with each. Less girls = longer stories, more revisits and even palace stay for some. The other issue is about content affecting decisions: should there be slightly more weight to decisions you make? In…

- Version 0.15 Status - 7 September 2025
Next update will be released in early October. The Good NewsThe upcoming update will be a full overhaul of the Marbia quest, including:At least 40 new animations ~80% of stills re-rendered with sharper detail and improved lightingHairy/Smooth variations for Nahir, Alam and DomiaAlternate model for Fahda (you’ll still be able to play the “classic” if you’d like) Reworked dialogue Added sound effects all over the place Most of the Marbia-related content was created back in 2021, when I was still finding my footing. Looking at it now, I know how far I’ve come, and how much those early scenes needed love. Enclosing a very simple comparison of the same image, one currently in the game, the other from the coming version. And Marbia isn’t just the Ziruan oasis quest. It also covers:Alam, Domia's Ac2sFahda’s revisitNahir’s scenes and Act 2 That’s a lot of content, and a lot of work. But the res…
- A new model for Fahda, the queen of the sand and gold? - 19 July 2025
Despite all the threats of taking the game down, I'm determined to give you guys the best game I can.I don't want to sink into feelings of doom and gloom, censorship and being left without income. I'd rather think about big melons. Fahda sized melons. The models for the Ziruan (Marbia) oasis were chosen four years ago, back when I was just starting out and my experience with 3D aesthetics was far more limited. While the game has grown in popularity, some players have consistently criticized certain models, and I agree that some of them haven’t aged well.Fahda, in particular, seems to be one of the least favored models among players. Since I’m currently revisiting the oasis, this is the perfect opportunity to address that.Please write in the comments below which model you like best. As always, the final decision will be mine; sometimes a model looks great in one set but terrible in anoth…

- Domia "poll" and more. - 7 July 2025
Hi all!As I mentioned in previous posts, I’m currently working on version “1.0” of the game. Alongside new world map mechanics, my main focus right now is revisiting the early parts of the game, mainly Marbia, Oryenguk, Hawatia, and possibly Limtinia. These sections were made when I was just starting out, and looking back at the art and some of the dialogue... well, let’s just say I’ve come a long way since then. That’s the polite way of admitting some of the early content doesn’t hold up.So far, I’ve completely revamped Karder and Alam’s scenes in the Ziruan Oasis. re-rendered all the images and added animations to the lewd scenes. I’m now turning my attention to Karder and Domia, and I had the idea to tweak her skin tone slightly. Hence: this discussion/poll. Please let me know which skin you like best!As always, the final decision is mine, but if one version receives overwhelming sup…
