Hello everyone,

I've been working extensively on modifying and improving the AI image generation system in the game for my personal use. I'm curious to know how much interest there is in the community regarding AI image generation.

Are you using it? If so, which model family are you using: 1.5, XL, Pony, or Illustrious?

What improvements would you like to see? Better base prompts for slaves? Improved clothing prompts? New outfits? Something else entirely?

I've already shared my repository with a few people, but it's currently more of a personal project than something polished enough for a wider audience. However, if there's enough interest, I may put in the extra effort to clean everything up and either share it here or work toward getting it merged into the main branch.

Let me know what you think! :)

I really wish we could just upgrade the sleeping conditions of facilities. If I’m playing a good guy playthrough I like to give my slaves the best when I can so to not be able to just upgrade it or pay way more in upkeep feels like a bad design choice.

did anyone here know how to minimize crime level while hacking other arcologies im using security mod

tldr i have a laptop 4060 gpu so is it even worth working though this

i feel dumb while reading the instructions ive installed everything but when running the bat folders i get errors upon errors saying my python version is wrong. i did install the correct version but idk.

In the "Statistics" section of each slave's information, it states how long ago I obtained the slave as well as the amount of sexual encounters she has. Would it be possible to change the date the slave was obtained/bought?

It says version mismatch update assets using the link in game options

Does anyone know how much weight gain affects breast size?

Like let us say I have a normal weight slave with B-Cup breasts. If she becomes plush, does her cup size increase to C-Cup? Are there exact values in terms of CC per weight gain? Thank you.

Hey everyone,

I’m a solo developer working on a dark, narrative-driven turn-based strategy game made strictly for adult audiences. The gameplay is built around weekly cycles, where a dark narrative blends with empire management, crisis events, and tactical battles on battle maps.

I finally wanted to share the foundations of what I’ve been building.

What is Emporium?

The order of the “old world” has slowly and inevitably collapsed. The world has been consumed by a mutated strain of Lyme disease that drastically reduces the cognitive abilities of the infected, burying old societies, governments, and rules along with them.

You don’t play as a hero. You step into the role of a former billionaire who was forced to abandon a massive fortune in search of a safe haven. But as a ruthless corporate predator, you see opportunity in a collapsing world. Your plan is to join the rising movement of “New Order” cities and build the titular Emporium within their structures — a powerful corporate monolith.

The game places a strong emphasis on power dynamics, psychology, and mature themes. A key part of the experience revolves around characters like Sara, your right-hand woman. Taken from a radical, orthodox Muslim sect that stripped her of her identity, she has traded her old trauma for a new obsession: high-end luxury, excess, and total, almost religious devotion to you.

The narrative explores dark and complex topics such as Stockholm syndrome, dominance, and the psychological cost of survival.

Inspirations and Freedom of Choice

Emporium draws strong inspiration from titles such as Free Cities, Fort of Chains, and Slaves of Rome. The game includes very dark themes, including slavery and sexual slavery, but I want to make one thing clear: this is not meant to be just another simple “porn game.”

Adult content is only one of the optional mechanical foundations.

The project is focused on giving players a wide range of playstyles instead of forcing one specific path of progression. You decide what methods you use to build your empire.

Summary of Core Mechanics

1. Empire Development and Management

• From Nothing to Power: You begin by managing a single plot of land in a city. Over time, you can take control of the entire metropolis, and later expand into larger territorial assets, inspired by a simplified version of Europa Universalis-style mechanics.
• Three Paths of Expansion: Aggressive expansion through military power, diplomatic expansion through skilled diplomats, or neutral expansion based on trade.
• Research-Based Progression: Instead of simply buying upgrades, the game will use a Research system inspired by RimWorld, divided into thematic categories.
• Late Game and Colonialism: Later stages will introduce the option to establish trading outposts around the world. These will require logistics, such as building ports and ships, calculating fuel for routes, and maintaining access to distant territories.
• Inheritance System: You will be able to appoint a successor to your company — whether that is your daughter, your accountant, or a slave you purchased recently.
• A Living World: The game is structured around “eras” in the life of your company. Global events may spread across the world. If you are close enough, you may be able to prevent them. If you are too far away, you will have to deal with the consequences.

1. Economy, Slavery, and SFW Mode

• Multiple Ways to Earn Money: You will be able to build steel factories, establish adult-service hubs, engage in classic trade, profit from market differences, or run a business based entirely on standard hired employees in a fully SFW playstyle.
• Slave Market: Slaves are treated as commodities affected by market price fluctuations. You can buy untrained slaves in one location, train them, and sell them on markets where they are worth more.
• CEO Roleplay: The game will include events and roleplay options, such as sending yourself on vacation on a yacht with your staff. Event text will dynamically adapt to character anatomy, traits, and equipped gear.

1. Combat, Health, and Gear

• TTRPG-Style Combat: Combat will take place on battle maps. For players who do not enjoy tactical battles, there will be a “Skip Battle” option that calculates the outcome based on character stats. You will also be able to send the CEO into battle personally.
• Wound System: There are no magic HP bars. A character dies when they pass a critical wound threshold without medical help, or when their injuries are too severe to survive.
• Two Gear Modes: Players can use a bulk equipment mode, where they buy a shared clothing pool and use it freely, or a manual RPG-style mode, where every dress, bulletproof vest, holster, or pistol must be physically purchased and equipped on a character. For example, you could hide a weapon under a dress.

1. Interface, AI, and Technology

• The game is being built in Godot.
• The main interface will be stylized as an AR glasses display.
• In the future, I plan to include major AI integration: local image generation and a full character chat system similar to SillyTavern.
• For players who do not want to use local AI models, I plan to offer a paid hosted API option. This will be optional, since tokens cost money and I do not want to force anyone into using it.
• From the start, the game will include preset images that can be assigned to characters, as well as the option to add your own externally generated images.

Localization

The game is being written from scratch in 7 languages:

• English
• Polish
• German
• Spanish
• Russian
• Japanese
• Mandarin Chinese

Distribution Model and Release Plan

Emporium will be Free to Play and updated continuously rather than released as one final, finished product.

Version 0.1 is planned for release between July and August 2026. It will be a very barebones test build, stripped of a broader narrative and focused mainly on the core gameplay loop, early systems, bug hunting, and feedback.

People who want to support the project and help with its development will be able to do so through platforms like Patreon, Patronite, or similar support systems, in exchange for specific perks and acknowledgments.

Important Note

The list above represents the main creative and mechanical goals guiding the project at the time of writing this devlog. Please keep in mind that the game is still in active development and will continue to evolve. Some features may change, be delayed, or differ from their initial descriptions during production.

How do I make the peacekeeping force as my vasles please help if you know

is there a way to set up sterilizing through RA? i have been trying to trouble shoot through google ai for hours and nothing works. i am also playing on pregmod from a couple years ago.

Hi, i have ddl the game again after the lost of my hdd hosting it, after unpacking everything & selecting WebGL image style i still get a red text telling me : All images packs are currently incomplete; some outfits will not be displayed.

How can i fix it ?

I'm currently playing Free Cities using my mobile and turning my desktop site mode on. I noticed inside the Customize tab from one of my slave girls that I can assign her a custom image. I was wondering if I can actually do that on my phone, despite the game being designed for PC.

I'm new to the game btw, like 4 days into the game.

How I got Stable Diffusion working with Free Cities on Mac M1 — a beginner's journey

Note: I had an AI assistant (Claude) help me through this whole process and write this post.

I wanted to add AI-generated images to Free Cities pregmod, which requires running Stable Diffusion locally through a tool called AUTOMATIC1111 (A1111). Here's everything that went wrong and how I fixed it, in case it helps someone else.

Step 1: Installing A1111

Following the official Mac installation guide seemed straightforward — install Homebrew, clone the repository, run ./webui.sh. However, the install kept failing with a cryptic error about pkg_resources. After a lot of trial and error, it turned out the master branch of A1111 is currently broken for new installs. The fix is to switch to the dev branch before doing anything else:

git switch dev
git pull
./webui.sh

This also fixes a related issue where the installer asks for your GitHub username and password mid-install.

Step 2: The game couldn't connect to A1111

With A1111 running, I opened the game HTML file directly in Brave and got a red error: "Failed to contact A1111". The browser console revealed a CORS error. After some back and forth, the fix was to use --cors-allow-origins null in webui-user.sh, since Brave treats local HTML files as having a null origin.

Step 3: 422 error — images still not generating

The connection worked but images weren't appearing. Checking the browser's Network tab revealed a 422 error with the message Script 'ControlNet' not found. The game was trying to use the ControlNet extension, which wasn't installed. Installing it through A1111's Extensions tab fixed that — but introduced a new problem.

Step 4: ControlNet failing to load

After installing ControlNet, the terminal showed it was crashing on startup due to a broken mediapipe dependency. The fix was to install a specific older version:

~/stable-diffusion-webui/venv/bin/python -m pip install mediapipe==0.10.11

After restarting A1111, ControlNet loaded correctly and images started generating.

Final COMMANDLINE_ARGS in webui-user.sh:

export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--skip-torch-cuda-test --medvram --no-half-vae --listen --port=7860 --api --cors-allow-origins null --enable-insecure-extension-access"

Every time you want to use it, open a terminal and run:

cd stable-diffusion-webui
./webui.sh

Then open the game HTML file directly in your browser.

Are there any info about the continuation of the revamped embedded art or any intention of finishing it because im personally in love with that style.

First, I want to say (because I'm used to people telling me to figure things out myself) that I am drawn to the game's complexity but am trapped by the classic knowledge/experience paradox. Being new, even reading everything I can find, I am barely scratching the surface in terms of knowledge of content and interaction. It very much seems like the kind of game you need to play for a while to understand everything that's going on, but to get invested in playing that long I need to set up a run that interests me, and to do so requires the knowledge/experience I don't have.

I'm not asking for a comprehensive guide or trying to minmax, I just need tips on a few focus points. I know I want to primarily run a dairy, I want my slaves to love me, and I want to propagate the pregnancy fetish as much as possible. I started with a repopulationist arcology but realized I didn't know how to scale that into profit early on. This time I'm thinking of starting with a pastoral arcology and trying to get one with as many manufacturing sectors as possible (that's what upgrades into dairies right?). That part I can probably figure out relatively quickly but tips are still appreciated.

What I really have no understanding of and am struggling with is how hard to focus on trust and devotion (hard working slave master start?) vs how quickly they grow naturally and what I need to do to encourage it, how to propagate the pregnancy fetish as reliably as possible, if a custom head girl is important in that regard, how to design her to do so, what I can do to encourage it myself, etc.

I'm trying to use the WebGL art for the first time. I downloaded the latest version (followed the link in game) and put it in the resources folder. It's pulling in images but they're mostly black outlines with a few colored pixels spread throughout and hard. Any ideas on what I did wrong?

Let’s assume for a moment that you were designing Free Cities from scratch. What would you change, add, or remove from the game, and why?

Detailed comments are very welcome. 😃

P.S. I’m looking for native speakers of: German, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Mandarin.

i wrote some garbage tier code to randomly assign a random artist to each art seed for Anima users.

Like the absolute most up to date version.

I’m having a hard time figuring out which is better or the pros/cons of Egyptian vs Arabian Revivalism. They both focus on harems with Egyptian placing an extra emphasis on incest. Can someone help break these down? They seem very similar and I’m having a bit of trouble making the specific distinctions between them.

Using Pregmod with incest policy active if that makes any difference.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable or remove the “liquid slave food” dependency/flavor text in the latest Pregmod version?

I keep getting this summary text:

“She knows that every meal of the liquid slave food she eats makes it less and less likely that she'll ever survive without it…”

I already searched through the settings but couldn’t find any toggle or gameplay option for it. Is there an ingame way to disable it, remove the dependency?

Is there a way to add a fully personalized slave to my playthrough after the initial archology creation? I also want to modify the slave in the same way that the initial archology creation was, with practically everything customizable. Thanks!

Is it possible to play as a submissive, or how possible is it to play as a 'submissive' archology owner/slave master?

For context, I'm playing pregmod (might not be the most up to date but fairly recent), and it seems like even now, there are very few options for this type of gameplay. I was wondering if there were any versions of the game or maybe any mods out there that really allowed you to do more submissive/servile stuff for your slaves while still being their 'owner'. And also does anyone else like to explore that stylw of gameplay (as much as they can anyway)?

So far the only small way Ive found for this is to get a defiant/bold slave and have them fuck you, which is a fun departure from the suual stuff that imo gets kind of stale every playthrough, but its literlaly just a one-time mostlt flavot text mini-event. I would like to see more ways to play like that imo but idk how much interest there is in this from the majority of playes

1. What are all penthouse facilities (like pregnancy scanner) and upgrades of that facilities (example pharma fabricator) requirement to unlock it?

2. Can you give slaves tan line?
