Okay, firstly, thanks for the support, comments, criticism and reviews. Really is appreciated, particularly at this early stage on a first project. Coming back to all this feedback was a treat – even and especially the negative stuff, it's all helpful.
thegrimromantic I was wondering why you chose that title.
[rape],[sleep sex], manipulating people is more like the direct opposite of consent.
Comes across as false advertising to me.
Edit: It's a serious question though. I'm genuinely curious what the thought process behind naming that game was.
Hah! Yep it's because it's about acquiring* consent, not necessarily implying it...
*And if you have to threaten, torture or traumatise someone to get consent they haven't actually consented. I'm sure we all understand that here.
Movies don't put you personally into the lead role of someone abducting women and abusing them. So... you're dumb.
On the perspective... I know it's a lot, so there's a warning. This game is about cruelty, specifically non-consensual cruelty, and that doesn't get everyone going but some men, and women, like to fantasize. That's why there's a tag and why this game is tagged with it. I've only used professional porn – much of which has the same themes, there's always been a big market for this – and playing the game isn't abusing anyone, or facilitating or encouraging the abuse of anyone.
It's quite simple: don't hurt people, unless they're definitely into it too and you've asked nicely.
for linux/mac compatibility, all you need is the same casing of the folders/files. Folder is named "Intro", html references "intro".
Game is almost unplayable and unenjoyable on Linux, where it's normal to have case-sensitive filesystems. Directories, pics and videos are referred in HTML mostly with lower-case chars, despite they are stored in Assets written using upper-case chars; I was able to mass-rename them all to lower-case, but later in the game I've found assets in the opposite situation. Please
thegrimromantic pay attention to this, you should choose an unique criteria about file naming
Thank you! Consider me chastised. This makes a lot of sense, will get this fixed.
I face the same issue. I think it has to do with the regression stat. Beyond 80, she becomes insensitive but I don't know how to really diminish that stat.
There are options for some regression climbdown in the Sub, Pet (cat or pony) and Maid sections (how much is dependent on Sub training levels). The Slave section is an even sen/sub stat-swap unless you praise her for doing a bad job, or vice-versa.
Does anyone else have the problem of sounds not working?
I toyed with having sounds – but any dialogue is always terrible, any music is worse, I want more than one video at once sometimes and I've reedited a lot of it so it would sound choppy regardless. I'm just not a fan of the faked screaming orgasm.
There might be a softlock during the initial training if you take her outside a lot, you will get through all the lessons but the stat tick over will be too low and never proceed to the next level. With as far as I can see no way out of it.
Thanks, looking at this.
That stat system in this is pretty nonsensical and mainly a crapshoot as to where you end and when. There needs to be more transparency as to what stats triggers what and why.
Brilliant game, perfect for 0.1 release! Its little hard to sometimes figure out what the consequences are, would be great if that would be more obviously explained at least after the fact.
Apologies if i just missed the obvious explanation.
Definitely need more guidance, am looking at this, cheers!
thegrimromantic I can give bigger notes if you want, but I think a major problem was that the charachter of Julia is simply just not present enough. It also makes her reactions to her circumstances very bland.
I think what you should do if working on other victims is to focus on their humanity. You, the dev, are not the game's rapist protaganist. It's clear that the game is meant to reflect an inhumanity. That means it's your job to present a version of her humanity that shines through even when the player perspective doesn't see it.
Who is she?
What are her aspirations?
What are here fears?
What are her attachments or family?
What sexual fantasies or repressed desires are there to play on?
What's her additude?
What is her history?
Really couldn't have put it better, been giving this some thought for a while and plan to flesh her out. Since I started the game I've moved away from the idea of making the girl a pure sandbox character but beyond a couple of hints about piano and driving skills towards the end there's really not enough of this in the first draft.
Pretty good game, easily a 0.3 - 0.4 worth of content for a 0.1 version. The whole "transformation" process is down right my alley (from being a dom to downright diabetes inducing lover) There are two things you can improve upon though.
-First (this is minor one) you can introduce one more loving stage, the BDSM to loving stages are way uneven, maybe after maid you can give her a girlfriend? stage or something.
-Second (the important one) seeing the banner i can tell all the three types of first girls are flat petites which are not my type at all, i rolled with little Caprice cause she's cute at least but maybe you need to add some busty girls in future (i have hopes for Hispanic)
PS You should consider Asa Akira for Asian wife, i hardly see her in porn games(3-4 only?!) and shes the Asian "Queen". I can already picture a scenario in the wife stage where MC returns from work and Asa welcomes him with a Nuru Massage for relaxation.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm open to suggestions for the others and it will basically depend a lot on whether I'm into her. Slim 'n model-pretty is my type but we'll see how it goes.
There's no tag for it, which surprised me a bit given the feel of the game, but is anal planned/included?
Ah, yep it's very much there. Just missed out the tag.
Whether she breaks or becomes your wife seems to be mostly dependent on whether you rape her or not at the beginning. not sure what triggers the daughter path though.
The wife path also has a dead end when not having a shower with her.
Well there's a big stat hit if you do, on the other hand, if you give her enough breaks through the training she can cope with it. Am looking at balance this week, more guidance will also help. And thanks for the heads up, will investigate.
