Interesting.

 

[mistercrowne]

(She could blow my up my house and I'd thank her on my hands and knees. Please tell me there's something planned for her)

there is! my current plan for her is to be sort of a "late-game" love interest, so to speak. you'd need experience with other girls and certain other things for her to agree to get intimate with you.

1) Some of the buttons in the sex sim part were iffy -

hmm could you elaborate? I'd like to address this but I'm not sure what you mean.

b) unsure if intended but some buttons would become non-clickable at a certain point (such as talk)

I'd need more details on how this happened to be able to fix it. if you come across this again, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me what was the interaction that seemed to cause it.

Affinity was quite a grind unless I missed an easier way to do it? I ended up just spamming conversation > food which gave +3 each time and I could do that ~10 times per time segment, but it wasn't exactly immersive.

intimacy interactions (or in other words, kissing and sex) are the fastest way to gain affinity. you can gain up to 20 affinity and kink per "session".

forgot to mention, orgasm counter didn't seem to reset either after an encounter. Didn't mean you couldn't start a new sex scene later (the counter would reset on orgasm) but I was a little confused to begin with.

orgasm counter shouldn't reset after sex, you only get 1 orgasm back after time advances (e.g.: morning -> noon), and you get a full refill after sleeping through the night.
if you're getting orgasms back randomly outside of these circumstances, there's something wrong, in which case I'd like to know more about what could be triggering.

I don't know why but this game remind me of "Rogue like: evolution".

gameplay-wise, RLE is my biggest inspiration!

both genitals at the same time at some juncture

I thought about it, but currently the answer is "no". mainly because it would be very difficult to implement: right now my idea is to make vagina-exclusive scenes and penis-exclusive scenes. having a scene where you have both, especially due to the POV angle, would make it very confusing. the vagina would be under the balls, presumably, which means it wouldn't even be visible.
however, using transmutation spells to alter your body is a planned feature and if all goes right, I'll probably add it soon-ish.

anyone got the overlay of the girl stuck?

do you remember what caused the overlay to be stuck, or which scene you were on when it did? that would help me investigate what's going wrong

anyways, thank you all for the feedback and kind words. I'm glad people are liking what they're seeing.

cheers!

Really like the art in this game, any1 knows of games with ar such as this? The only one that seems similar to me is Patch With a Witch

I really like the game, for what it's worth, there's surprisingly more content for an Alpha than I would have thought. I have some thoughts on the game in general:

1. Some situations/scenes/relationship levels will have V reject the my offer to undress because she's 'afraid that they are in a public setting' but will gladly 'Lie on her back' where I can move on to sex and, consequently, take off her clothes without her objecting it.

2. The principal has a clear set routine that she follows day to day without the ability to interact with her. This will feel less awkward if her figure isn't in her current location and (later on in the relationship with V) me banging V right then and there in front of the principal as if she's not there. (this is probably more on my part for wanting to interact with Orphelia because she's there but the dev cuts in line to say "nah bro this is crazy", it's not a huge complaint but it interrupted the experience a few times)

3. The plain white text on the top left side of the character in intimate scenes (so just V for now) that describes my actions and V's reaction needs some kind of background coloring or highlight to distinguish itself from some of the more lighter-colored scene such as the library, the outdoor during the day, V's quarter, etc.

4. The lake dating sequence and the V's quarter visit sequence were each out of order for me.
- 4.1. For the lake date, I took her to the lake, talked about for a bit and even attempted sex but the date didn't trigger, i figure "oh well, I'll just try again the next day". But as I clicked 'wait' to skip to the next time period, the event triggered (I don't know if this is intended or now so I will just lay it out for the dev).
- 4.2. For the V's quarter visit, towards the end of the Alpha build, I noticed I can suggest going to her quarter to which she agrees only after working hours. I hang about and do the usual 'ritual' (talk, kiss, sex, etc. just to fish some new interactions, and I call it 'ritual' because I repeated a lot of those throughout the map to find most of them have nothing special to them), and when I got to sleep, the screen cut to black and the time period is restart to initiate the 'visiting' event which gave me quite a whiplash (again, I don't know if this is the intended scene sequence order or not).

Overall, I can't wait to see Orphelia because I'm a sucker for women in office trousers

How much anal content is there in this game?

 

[robertdrift]

tks, awsm

 

[robertdrift]

Pls, add Li futa/trans

 

[mistercrowne]

How much anal content is there in this game?

you can have anal sex with Verity, who is currently the only available love interest in the game. right now she only has a missionary pose, but I plan on adding a doggy pose as well.
all future LI's will have anal sex as well.

Pls, add Li futa/trans

I have plans, but they won't happen soon unfortunately. I think it's best to play on safe bets for the first few LI's, especially because I think Verity herself isn't *that* appealing to a lot of people.

 

[wankingbastard]

Gorgeous goth vampire girl who lusts after my sperm.. Yeah I might be in love.
This looks very promising.

 

[Eigenvalue]

Serviceable art, good character design, good writing, decent mechanics, think we got ourselves a winner.

Point of critique: Changing location should not cost an AP every time, especially not when there are 16 different locations and no indicator where one may currently encounter events or other characters. *Maybe* group the locations into general regions and make changing regions cost an AP, but I don't think even that will add anything to the game. (Current navigation is obviously placeholder, I assume a rework is already penciled in for one of the next updates)

 

[kaine3d]

bruh that new face is perfect i'm the guy that mentioned a minor complaint about it in your thread you had going on discord she is absolutely delicious but as far as i know i'm the only opinion on that so maybe don't mess with it until a general consensus agrees with the opinion i gave. some people may like the other option so maybe don't rule it out just yet.

*edit* maybe post a few pics of the old and new side by side and run a vote on it.

Thanks. Is it possible to choose anal every time? Can we choose to have an anal-only playthrough (skip vaginal)? Such a possibility would really elevate the game.

 

[ArashiNinja18]

That's some really plain and bland customization for a game that's tagged with character creation.

damn guy give him a minute it's only the second time he's made the game public. i'm sure there will be more as he gets further in dev.

that is possible, technically. there are no restrictions in place that would stop you from having anal sex before vaginal. but it will be harder than just playing normally. the way it works is, basically, depending on how high a LI's attributes are (affinity, kink) and how many different intimate actions they have experienced, the game calculates a score. that score is compared against a static value when you attempt a sexual action (such as anal). by default, vaginal is 'easier' than anal. but if you crank up her attributes way up and try many different sexual actions (except for vaginal) you could get that score high enough to skip it.

That's some really plain and bland customization for a game that's tagged with character creation.

that's fair. because of the POV perspective, it's not really feasible to customize much beyond skin color and physical frame/genitalia. but at the same time I feel like it does count, you can customize something. if people feel like I'm stretching the tag I have no qualms with removing it.

Thanks for the explanation. If it will work the same for all future LIs (no restrictions), then that will be pretty cool, even if I have to work a little harder. Please consider adding a few variables that track the kind of sexual activities a LI has done, so they could maybe comment a few times if they've been only doing anal, or avoiding vaginal with the MC. It would be a nice bit of player choice acknowledgement.

Also, I think I found a bug. During the hand job scene, if we go Other > Ask for a Blowjob, the main handjob sprite gets stuck at the front and there is a secondary "correct" Verity sprite in the background that behaves the intended way. Then when the scene advances, the handjob Verity remains stuck on the forefront indefinitely LOL. And then hitting the "Wait" button cycles stuck Verity's clothes LOL.

it should work the same in the future, yeah! at least for planned LI's (which basically means ideas floating in my head at this point), there's no reason for me to add a restriction.

Please consider adding a few variables that track the kind of sexual activities a LI has done, so they could maybe comment a few times if they've been only doing anal, or avoiding vaginal with the MC. It would be a nice bit of player choice acknowledgement.

those variables already exist, so it should be easy enough to add a few dialogue quips when certain conditions are met (e.g.: starting anal sex without ever having had vaginal). I'll write that down for the next update, that's an easy addition.

Also, I think I found a bug.

thanks for the details, I *should* be able to track that down.

 

[Ifockinghatemylifehahahah]

good game

 

[sleepingkirby]

Good luck. Don't rely on AI too much for your code. Make sure you understand what it's trying to do otherwise you'll be in for some real pain later.
