not easy to say. the last version with the old (LOK style) art was the 5.3, from there on they changed the art style. up to ~v7.1 they kept adding/updating art; from there on out it's been sketchy, with some added and some others occasionally removed. the two latest, 7.7.1/7.7.2, have animations missing that still used to exist in earlier 7.x, while the turmoil behind the scenes was already going on.
Huge ugly business, in all senses of the word!
Just FYI, HBomb wasn't innocent either: think yanderedev - great game concept, stuck in development hell for eternity milking money because it's easier than admitting he couldn't finish.
I understand what you mean, but those "superfluous" elements give value to a game. After all, a plain breeding game would be kind of repetitive and palling in the long term!
Maybe, but it's literally the framework of the game. Literally nothing else matters if you don't have monsters you can breed and animations thereof. Even the original game decided to pivot and completely switch art styles before the first one was even finished. It should have been a sequel and waited until the original game was done.
That's the issue though. Breeding games....need to be about breeding. Once that's finished, polished and robust, everything else is optional.
Under the point of view of a breeding game, strictly speaking, Breeding Season is a finished game! We have the breeding mechanics, and even some goal (completing the requests)! But would you consider BS a properly finished game? I wouldn't, simply because a basic core doesn't make a game! You need several other things, like story and progression mecanisms, that stimulate you to keep playing. To reach a final goal, and the feeling that you are actually "building your road" to reach this goal! Let's face it: if the entire experience is just crossing species to have offspring, and then sell it to make money, this would become pretty boring, pretty soon! Even if this is the proposition of the game! You have to feel that there is a point in the breeding, otherwise it becomes just grinding! And the extra stuff, like the relationship mechanics, where you unlock new interactions with the characters based on how much they like and trust you, is a good way of expanding the experience!
Dude, there is a mega link, download all of them, there is a ruffle plugin, unzip it to a folder, then go to ruffle and select the 2.3 GB file you downloaded from mega and start it, ruffle opens it easily
So, unfortunately, I can confirm that altruistic cannot be manually added to a selfish monster, and vice versa. Using the debug commands and cheats to manually add the traits to a monster does not work. In either case, doing so results in an error message referring to the attempted addition as incompatible or impossible.
hmmm probly they coded a lock to avoid certain constellations that would cancel eachother out, like those two. then, there shouldn't pop any job requesting that combination, either. so, looks like sloppy coding on the request part.
