RPGM Accursed: Emma's Path [v0.2.24b RC] [MegaloDEV]

[Lerial]

I agree and also disagree. I think Cyberpunk and fallout are really bad examples, since the launches were so horrible, but I also think there is nothing wrong with going back and fixing minor issues or changing some things after having finished an act of the game

to be fair, 2077 and fallout 76 also launched as full price, AAA 'finished' games.
that's not really the case here. it's all about context.
focusing so much on just polishing what's here is massively slowing down new content, which is how you get and maintain interest for a project like this.
and sure, 'finishing an act' and doing a clean up release wouldn't be a terrible idea, but, he also hasn't really bothered finishing an act due to all the polishing.

it's not like the game needs to take two years and have a perfect act 1 with like, 10 scenes.
and no one says, don't work on some past stuff to get it right, merely, don't focus on it almost EXCLUSIVELY and massively slow down any actual progression the game has.

i mean, the patch notes talk about what, maybe 2 new scenes, and then a dozen pictures for people we don't give the slightest of fucks about, some don't even have names, and a revision of a dozen scenes. it seems like most updates are like, 'here's two cg that aren't worth flogging the log too, and 2 dozen other changes'.
maybe make that like, once every 5 updates or something, instead.

Finally, a game when all the males are hot, so as a female, I can play this game. Is there any game like this that anyone can recommend?

Yea Im with you on that. There is other projects im following as well rn that make the same mistakes. Redo the first part as a demo 5 times and add 1-2 new scenes each time, but worst case remove some of the older ones because you had to move things around. Barely any story progression, which is the aspect that has the most pull in early-access-style titles, just seeing it develop over time, esp. the narrative. That is one of the main reasons games that have no CG art at all are successful. Look at pixelart games. If CGs and sprites was everything people cared about these games would be dead on arrival. They are not tho. Art is great and it immerses you a lot more, but if art was all there is to it then all of those asset-flips and A.I. generated surface-level games on DLSite would sell incredibly well. Yet it is the games that actually contain a decent narrative and great scenarios that do. Not the ones with the best gameplay, and not the ones with the best art.

It's narrative/scenarios (esp. sexual scenarios, kinks, fantasies) > gameplay (more like comfort of gameplay, such as how comfortable it is to play, if there is not too much grind, how easy to follow it is when it comes to instructions) > art (appeal of the artstyle, how well the archetypes and concepts are conveyed) > gameplay (engagement and variety of tasks and quests) > art (how "shiny" and "perfect") the art looks. That is kind of the order of priority if you ask me.

New scenes are the A and O of any good continuous-development game project. And narrative to keep the parts of the game cohesively together. Redoing a prior scene or prior quests/gameplay or narrative to "improve it" out of perfectionism misses the point, you can do that after launch, or after having finished one act of a game. Esp. if it's playable and decent to look at.

Won't let me access gallery. Not sure what the issue is.

I honestly agree with this, even though I am not a girl and if you happen to find any games with both hot guys it would be cool if you could share them. The NTR components of this game feel a lot more real when you know actual women find it hot too.

 

[Lizard_Wizard91]

Agreed, but (un)fortunately gay games have hot men. The only game similar to this that I know of is The Survival of Sarah Rose.

Checking this out, thanks.

 

[Lizard_Wizard91]

I feel like this game understands the fetish quite well and it feels like the dev is creating what they wish they could have in a game rather than attempting to make something that sells.

It's a shame that progress happens so slowly and I'm not sure if it's just one person working on it, but if it is I wish they would seek outside help with the project. Perhaps for tedious things like bugfixes while they continue on the story and game, since what's here is amazing and could shape up to be one of the best ntr games around if it got finished.

I feel like the game utilizes a lot of graphical fluff not present in the average japanese rpgmaker game and I would not be surprised if that contributes to the amount of bugs present.
Here is an image comparing the starting menu and pause screen to that from the recently released 催墜のエルフ which is also an ntr game and one of my favorites so far due to quality of art, characters and scenarios.
A different version of rpgm might be used here, but I don't think that alone accounts for the difference in ui.

It's also understandable if MegaloDEV wants to make something more memorable than just a gallery-chase, but the story and porn is really the only thing I am interested in and if we can just see more progress there that would be cool. Mini games, visual flare and impressive ui are not that important, the game is already special and unique enough as it is and I hope it won't take years before it gets finished.

how do i access the cg gallery?

Inside the inn, door on the far right

honestly, it's not even about making a 'good game' over the fap fodder, or fap fodder over a good game.
heavy heart's dev is more focused on the game over the scenes, too, and while i still think he's not had nearly enough material, he's, well, actually made the fucking game, compared to retreading the same ground for almost a year straight. he's got bits for the endgame done already, while this guy's got like 20 updates and still only the same like 2 hours of gameplay.

like an author stuck revising chapter 1 till it's perfect, it's making no real ground towards even being close to finished, much less a good game.

 

[Birdnman993]

How is the game? because it looks very good but the reviews practically say that it is garbage, I would like to try it but what they say discourages me.

Finally, a game when all the males are hot, so as a female, I can play this game. Is there any game like this that anyone can recommend?

I agree, I'm not a female but it's refreshing to see such a change, at least visually it's better for the stomach than seeing fat, ugly bastards.

 

[z_e_r_o]

How much content does this game have now? I liked the premise but there wasn't much content when I last tried

 

[Bacara]

Currently stuck on day 9 I can't fast forward time and the only quest I've got is working for Silverman which I can't access.

Currently stuck on day 9 I can't fast forward time and the only quest I've got is working for Silverman which I can't access.

I'm also at that point and I left it, very frustrating to be stuck like this.

I loved the art and character design, but I would suggest if this game continues and they don't abandon it that they add sound to the sex scenes according to the action.

It seems that this lacks a lot of content and polishing several errors, I think I will pass on this title, it seems that it is one of those games that the developer wants to cover beyond its capabilities.

I hope development can continue because I think the art is great but as it is it's not worth it.

 

[Davidashvili400K]

Why my save is not working now?
I get an error...

 

[Ezio21]

After get the Package from the Wakalone or how it is called . what do we do?
