HTML Blue Swallow [v0.8.2.1] [Blue Swallow]

[CassieBare]

FA has been 7 or 8 years? being promoted in other communities and gaininig backers. Now, Idk in how many forums or platforms you're promoting BS, but in f95 html text games aren't that popular compared to 3Daz renpy vns. Another thing is the competition, today everyone is trying to make the next big cash cow while years ago there were not that much.
Still you have 300 patrons after 1'5 years in development, which is more than what some 3Daz vns have made in the same time frame.

Thanks for the context! We're certainly looking for other places to promote, but besides itchio, I haven't found anywhere that really seems to fit or welcome our kind of game. Any pointers would be much appreciated!

I'm pretty sure that FA started in tfgamessite, a site dedicated to html games mostlly with gender bender and female mc themes.

Hey, loving the game. Thank you for all the hardwork. Might be me being thick, sorry if this is a spoiler for some but how do you become a working girl when you are in the club in Manilla?

It did. That and the Hypnocollective or what it's called.
That is why the first version had the player undergo some hypno conditioning in the intro, to fit the hypno and (mental) transformation themes necessary for those.

TFgames maybe? It doesn't really fit but neither did FA and it started over there

Other places: gamcore (I am certain I saw some previous versions of Female Agent at some point over there), mopoga (for the mobile user community). Not sure if there are costs to post there, though

The initial triggers are based on age and traits, so it's not the main path. But Claire might get moved there from other tracks as well.

A few errors (at least it comes out as errors for me) to report for 0.7.2.1 :
- $Stats.Traits['Suggestibility'].value was used in place of $Stats.Traits['Suggestible'].value for a check (line 47055)
- $Stats.Traits['Riskiness'].value was used in place of $Stats.Traits['Risky'].value for two other checks (line 43888 and 44017)
Line numbers are those that come up when i open in Notepad++
The error message is "Value undefined"

Also $Stats.SexSkills.incluess which should be $Stats.SexSkills.includes at lines 43897 and 44024


Loving the new content btw

I don't use discord for adult content as a rule and i don't mind waiting as i apply the fixes on the fly to my own file.

One error to add to the list : On line 47055 you have 2 $ missing before stats

if ($Stats.Traits['Suggestible'].value + $Stats.Traits['Easy'].value + $CC.maleReaction) gte (Stats.Traits['Confident'].value + $Stats.Skills['Wiles'].value + Stats.Skills['Discipline'].value)

Totally respect the choice! Hadn't thought of it, even though as a creator, I try and keep this very separate from my life as well.

Thanks again!

At the end of 0.6 you described how the Patreon version was already progressing into the main part of the game. We you planning to release the Patreon version here, or keep it Patreon-only? Either way, good job through the end of the prologue.

 

[voerman]

I'd say welcome to tfgamessite, but I can't access my account there due to inactivity. I'd have to contact a moderator to reactivate my account, but I need to log in to contact them.

Thanks Senor!

Supporter-versions will remain supporter versions because, well, we need support.

But!

Once we finish a dev cycle (0.7 for example), we'll release a public and pared-down version of that release widely.

I posted this over on tfgames but you seem more active here so will repost it.

It is interesting, I would like to see some more options when it comes to the sexual partners. It seems to randomly choose from a list each time and sometimes it had more than one I liked and others none. It would also be nice to be able to choose what kind of sex you had or at least depending on the NPC give you a few options, which would effect the choices you make at the end.

Finally I hate the cowboy hat my character always wore, more control over what we wear or at least a few choices would be nice.

All and all a interesting start

Also a new comment, it looks like you have a discord but have it locked behind patreon etc. Might I suggest opening it up to everyone but those on patreon etc get a special role which gives them access to more discord channels etc. I think it would help you find people to support you, since they get a peek behind the curtain to better know if this might be something they are interested in supporting. Anyways just a thought.

Much appreciated!

TFGames is very hard to navigate, so I haven't yet gotten a handle on it the way I have here.

I'm guessing the question was about the random partners at the end of High School and/or College. So are you asking for a broader list of options?
Are you asking for more customization and flavor about those partners?

Re: the cowboy hat, I'm sorry you hated it. Each hometown start gives a different, unique accessory for the doll. Try a different hometown! Also, have you tried the dossier to change clothes? You'll definitely have the ability to switch it out during Act I of the main game, even create your preferred default outfits.

I figured a $1 barrier to join the Discord wasn't egregious, simply asking people who want to be part of the community to support in a marginal way.

Yes those random partners. I would be nice to see more depth and even some choices on exactly what you might have done with them. Like instead of a full hookup at a party, maybe just gave a guy a BJ etc.

Yeah I know, but I liked the idea of the small town start but hated having to wear the hat always. I did both the small town and LA starts. First time I got more what I wanted which was a rocker girl in a band... yet still wore a cowboy hat, which made it even worse. Second time ended up in a gang in LA.

I know once you get so far in you can change clothes, but honestly letting you do that in the prelog at least with the default aka non-event specific outfits would be a nice option.

I get it, was just offering a suggestion that might help you attract more people. Once they are on discord and see some stuff and know there is more indepth stuff going on in channels they can't access, I think more people would join. I might be wrong but I think it would.

Kinda like free to play games work. You get access to everything but if you pay a little money you can get some bonus stuff, gain xp faster, unlock stuff faster etc. Once someone is hooked and likes something the more likely they are to support it to get more.

That can easelly backfire because anti-consumer practices can paint you like a greedy bastard.
Paywalls are really controversial.

 

[CassieBare]

And, to be perfectly honest -- much as I'd love the Discord to be more active, its relatively quiet. Maybe that'll change at an inflection point in numbers.

Based on how it's coded, might be difficult, but I can put it on a 'to look at'.

That's easier to implement, thanks for the comment. We'll see what we can do.
