Others Crisis Point: Extinction [v0.48] [Anon42]

[Vega Cifer]

The subaquatic area is not the end. Once you get the hover boots there, there will be new areas to explore in the starting zone (in the area accessed from the overgrowth), and after that, in the summit. If no new zones were added, then the summit will be the end.

Did they add a new area that require the new hoverboot mechanic? Cause in my last playthrough I got all the areas for the most part...but couldn't find much else. Like it was a thorough search last time I played. Even got that secret area with the chairs and I think table.

But ig I'll have to look for it in my new playthrough because my stuff got nuked anyway. Also not gonna lie I can't tell which animations got revamped still, does anyone else know

Ghost Hunter Vena is shit quality

Yes, and I really don't get how anybody could ever jork it to

Same for the others besides sinistar (not my cup of tea but hey at least it's highly regarded) and syahata (I liked it).
And again I'm not arguing that the dev is making meaningful progress on CPE. They aren't making ANY progress considering the limited scope of the game.

Sky above, earth bellow, porn game dev intentionally slowing down development to milk Patreon money.

Yknow, I really like this game. I really do; but after replaying it a third time and reaching the catacombs...it leaves me legit thirsting for new animations. The current sprite animations are hot, but after this much time the effect just isn't the same. The CG was great, definitely unexpected from Alicia given what it used to be. But left wanting more, especially from the sprites(also I don't think you can view this CG in the CG gallery? It doesn't pop up..)

At least my favorite of them still hits. That poison allure animation is still hot to me. I love futa, and I love mating presses. Second is the alternate animation for that same mob, hers are just that good

Ghost Hunter Vena is shit quality? That's one of the few games I find myself revisiting time and time again because it's so well made.
Anyhow, here's some quality games, most of them are action side-scrollers, with a mix of small/solo dev teams, that were started after have been completed before CPE:
Syahata's Bad Day - Action shooter, top quality animations WITH animated defeat CGs
Dusk City - Medroidvania shooter with amazing pixel animations
In the Nest of Dominator - Don't have a lot to say on this one, solid animations, good combat
Lost in the World of Succubi - Pretty sure his first game, Super Mamono Sisters was also started and released within the time CPE has taken to develop, someone fact-check me on this
SiNiSistar 2 - One of the most highly-anticipated games on this site, had a couple early demos, then dev focused solely on finishing and releasing the game. A perfect example how game development should be done, single dev

Honorable mentions, as they aren't side-scrollers, but quality games nonetheless:
Halls of the Pale Widow - Quality animations and retro styling graphics mixed with horror
Also going to include his new game Sin Spire, even though it's in development, it's been moving along much faster than CPE and will likely be releasing soon.

There are no excuses for CPE to be in the state it's currently in, I'm sure all of these developers have had their fair share of mental/physical health issues, financial issues and whatnot. This game died when anon42 decided to follow Paetron's noncon ban. It's painfully obvious that even though they state "oh, I didn't want to go that route anyways," that's what they had planned for the gameplay to be, and the progress on the story has been stagnant ever since, all while anon42 is just raking in the cash.

Adding to that list as someone who likes this game and is hopeful but is also aware of the reality of it:

Flipwitch - Forbidden Sex Hex - Very fun, very cute, the costume gimmick is neat. Slight jank here and there but good art definitely more game than porn.
Cosmobreeder Yiffai - If you're into furry stuff. Hardcore NES type combat with unlockable cheats and pretty punishing difficulty, sex comes mostly from defeats so it's not my favourite thing but the art is nice and save points generous.
Paradiso Guardian - For the yaoi fans. Very well fleshed out very nice map, really good spritework, combat is stellar. More game than porn, but the porn that's there is pretty good.
The Castle of Succubus series, the first game was a Zelda parody, this one is a really competent Metroidvania.
Alien Quest: Eve - Janky but overall pretty decent one, took me a while to find it again. The only one in this list that I haven't bought because of said jank but it's not that bad, just takes a bit to get going. Might be the closest one to CPE in concept but not in polish.

With the summer sale on I gotta buy Dusk City. Had forgotten all about it.

 

[Vega Cifer]

I've played alien quest eve, animations and stuff are nice. But yeah the jank almost made me crash out.
Looks like I'll be trying out dominator, lost and flipwitch. Interesting pixels that I haven't seen yet
