HTML Cock Roulette [v0.3-premature] [aereton]

[seifukulover]

Sorry, is this game about looking at boobs with the chance of seeing a cock? That doesn't make it gay and the gay tag needs removed.

Generally I agree with this logic. The idea of the game is that the boobs are the 'good' result and the cocks the 'bad' result, which means it's designed for straight males specifically. So it seems misleading to put the gay tag, because it's not made to arouse gay men.

On the other hand, as a straight guy I don't go looking up videos of guys jerking off solo, because I consider it "gay porn" as I'm sure many other straight guys do. Then in that case the gay tag seems to fairly describe at least some of the game's content.

I vote to remove it, but I'm not gonna complain if it stays.

Is there a solo male tag?

I believe this is [yet another] good example on how the forum disregard any effort for gay content. I don't see a "straight" tag on straight games and straight games that have 1 single hint of male sexualisation ends with the [gay] tag. If male masturbation here (as punishment btw) is "gay", then any female solo would be "lesbian" and that doesn't really make sense.

Ideally we would have tags like [straight male focus], [straight female focus], [bisexual focus], [gay focus] and [lesbian focus]. Since we don't, aereton will have complaints from both sides anyway and no one really wins.

Whatever. People looking for gay content will immediately see boobs in the header image, and people who want to avoid seeing dicks aimed at them know there will be schlongs due to the name.

Having a 3-letter tag or not won't change anything about the game. And fact is the game exists in a weird intersection where, yes seeing male genitalia is a form of punishment, but also is part of the sexual allure. That whole hypno/biconfusion/whatever stuff is largely schizophrenic by nature so it's only logical to attract controversies like that.

The opportunist in me is just glad about the comparably high thread participation about a shitty browser game.
When the poll is over, I will execute the result, everyone else will have to cope being in the minority, idc I just wanna have fun coding.

For a first time dev this is actually fairly impressive, even if it isn't really a demo if you ask me.

To be fair 95% of games with the gay tag just have optional content. Expect to see a bunch of dumb asses asking if it's avoidable.

Development update - 07/16/2024

Cock Roulette development update - 07/16/2024

Hello, I bring another short status update.
If you didn't know, I've recently released my first public build v0.3 and since then, I've been keeping busy gathering feedback.
I will go into what is planned for the next release v0.4 and what I'm working on right now.


Content tags:

First thing on my agenda was creating a content tag system, to allow players to customize what type of video clips they will see.
You can hide and show the tagged content and some can even be set to 'exclusive', which will cause the game to only show you video clips that have said tag applied to them, hiding those who haven't.
This will work nicely with the other main feature I have planned for 0.4

Progression / Unlockables:

Next thing I'm working on will be currency you can earn by playing the game and an ingame shop available from the main menu, where you can spend your currency for unlockables. For now, the shop will only sell "booster packs".

Booster packs will be a gacha system (don't worry, no real world money is involved - it's all available through playing the game), where you can unlock new video clips. These booster packs will come in different sets and I plan to add two new sets for every major update from here on out. For 0.4 that will mean 'BBC' and 'Shemale' can be added to your roster, thanks to popular demand.
Gotta catch them all!

File size / Video compression:

I've also compressed pretty much all video clips and converted them to the webm format. This will cause the video files to be around 60% smaller. I'm still playing around with the compression vs. quality, and I could have gone for a higher compression rate with more modern codecs but I had to ensure browser compatibility (looking at you SAFARI ).
In any case, this will make content addition in the future less painful (v0.3 already was at >700MB).


Balancing & Audio experiments:

The game's balance is still somewhat all over the place, rest assured I am monitoring all feedback (mostly through the game's thread) very closely. My bugs/balance list is growing exponentially, and I will work on a decent chunk for the next update.

A lot of people also were very adamant about audio. I've been testing out various strategies to avoid any issues with browsers denying loading assets from the filesystem. I seem to have found a way to do so, but will likely have to wait until 0.5 or 0.6 even.

Nice, finally can turn bbc off. They just look gross.

I'm still some time away from next release. In the mean time, you can just overwrite the video files in the /assets/clips/cocks/ folder. The offending files are:

* cock_001.mp4
* cock_002.mp4
* cock_007.mp4
* cock_008.mp4
* cock_010.mp4

As well as in the /assets/clips/shots/. The files are:

* shot_020.mp4

Either copy other clips from the respective folder and rename/overwrite them, or replace them with puppies mp4s idk lol.
