If i may ask ~? how can i get the good End ~?
I assume you mean the CGs? There aren't "ends" of any kind, since the game continues after a CG sequence, but the CGs are unlocked by beating the first boss; shortly after that, you get an upgrade for your blaster, and after that, defeating an enemy for the first time will unlock their CG back at camp, which you can watch by talking to Birch.
I didn't get the problem. Why can't boss work just like normal enemys, the sprite scene being activate on the doors, maybe in an alternative room, with entrace in up-side of the room corresponding to that world, and the CG scene has been activated when we speak to Birch? I guess it's already like this way in the gallery.
Maybe you can even make the boss being restrain in some fun way on their alternative rooms, and not loose like normal enemys. The worm could be like in a chain belt, and the tar could be in a pool or something like this, with a new sprite that shows they're dangeruos and they're arrested; and the sprite scene happens when Alice touch they, maybe with a little animation of they being released.
The problem is that, to me, it feels superfluous. The sprite scenes have their own context, which is that you can have sex with the enemies in the middle of gameplay, and get healed from them, while the CGs are more in-depth sequences you access back at camp when you're not out exploring. Sure, more porn content is always nice, but the two "types" of porn CPE has have those different contexts because it makes them more interesting. Having two completely separate scenes with completely different styles (CGs vs sprite animations) that are both accessed in the exact same way (by defeating a boss then going back to camp) feels extremely superfluous to me as a designer, so I want a more interesting/elegant way of doing it.
Anon42 Question: given this game's current development, is it possible to make the H functionality an unlockable as the story progresses? I do kind of find it jarring storywise that Alicia can technically have "fun" with slimes and tentacles immediately after finding the camp, yet be against the whole "have H with anything" idea during the initial parts of the main story. Plus the idea to do so doesn't come up until the player starts exploring the forest area, which can technically be avoided since the story drives the player to the catacombs area before the forest area (as of v0.37).
The idea is centered around the planet's lustful effects; the longer Alicia remains on the planet, the more "open" she becomes to such ideas. Since sex is also a healing mechanic (except for hard mode), it would also make sense to introduce the player to that possibility. It could lead to advancing levels of perverse progression, provided it doesn't conflict with your current vision for the game thus far.
It's absolutely possible, but there's a lot of reasons not to do it, first and foremost being that.. well, it's a porn game. I'm spending every ounce of effort I can on making CPE a good GAME, but I'd be dense to not realize that some people have come for the porn, and I'm not going to lock it off completely for the first hour or two of the game.
As far as what you said about the Deep Soil being the first time sex is brought up as an idea; that conversation takes place when Alicia's libido gets too high and she starts losing control of her desires, so that's when Rodriguez suggests the option of satisfying herself rather than fighting it. It's not like that's the first time having sex with the natives is brought up
at all - Birch does that right after the first boss fight, when you get the blaster upgrade from him - but it's specifically in the context of Alicia's desires growing out of control and that being an option to tame them. Besides, isn't the way the game's laid out right now exactly what you're asking me to do? The CGs, libido, and BE mechanics being introduced as you progress into the game rather than showing up immediately sounds like what you're wanting here, expanding the game's sexual mechanics the farther you get.
I'd also like to point out that Alicia isn't explicitly
against having sex unless the player avoids having it. The game has numerous lines of dialogue that change when you have sex often; one example of this is when Birch propositions Alicia about "research", if you've had a certain amount of sex by that point, she'll get a little embarassed and says she'll consider it, rather than immediately shooting him down. That's also the first time that sex is brought up after the initial conversation between Rodriguez and Alicia, and that first conversation takes place right after she was just attacked, then told everything on the planet is horny. Even if she's the type of girl to want to fuck a slime, she's trying to figure out what's going on first and foremost. Having her react to that news by outwardly being like "Oh, sweet, I'm gonna go bone everything now" right in front of a person she just met would be out of character for her, but once she's got some time alone with the creatures, that's when she gets curious, especially since she'll be starting to feel the effects of the atmosphere by that point. I mostly leave it up to the player how slutty Alicia is going to be though, which is why the dialogue changes if you're having sex or not.
Gotta say, for the intro to mention that men are 'going extinct' it's pretty weird that the first 3 people you hear about on the planet are men. One would think that men wouldn't risk so much, now that the virus is spreading.
Also: "The atmosphere increases the libido" "You are shitting me right now, aren't you."... 2 minutes later - Press H to masturbate, masturbate next to enemies for H-scenes! That could've been paced out better in my opinion.
Men going extinct also means the extinction of women, because humans would have no way to reproduce. It's not like women could just go on living without any issues. That's why the final line of Alicia's opening monologue is "humanity had a good run", not "males had a good run".
Also, Alicia responding "You're joking, right?" to what Rodriguez tells her doesn't mean "I'm a prude and that's stupid, who would ever have sex with aliens, not me". Note the part where she says "I'm being pranked right now, that's the only explanation"; she doesn't believe him at first, but she's on the planet too, experiencing the effects of the atmosphere first-hand. I want players to be able to initiate H-scenes early on if they so choose, and I incorporate that into the story by changing up dialogue as I mentioned in my response to ryu, but I also feel like it'd be a bit silly to include an explicit line of dialogue before she has sex for the first time making her say "Wow, yeah, he wasn't kidding about the atmosphere, I'm real horny now", rather than letting players figure out that implication for themselves.
