HTML Degrees of Lewdity [v0.5.2.8] [Vrelnir]

[Arkus86]

To add to this discussion my two cents, I'm not a big fan of pregnancy content in general, but here it is already implemented leagues ahead of most other games with pregnancy content. In v0.5.

And while yes, it means the development time is more spread out between all the various features... it's already in the game, so the choices are either leaving it in a half-finished state, half-asing it, both of which is arguably worse than not making it in the first place, or trying to make it the best pregnancy mechanic they can.

The argument the people are saying isnt that it should be abandoned but that it should have never been implemented in the first place usually for the reasoning that it was a niche set of content that people didnt actually want. Which is pretty silly considering whenever they did a poll about what content people wanted to see it was always at the top of the list. It is just another complaint in the long list of complaints that all boil down to "this isnt my fetish so its bad." Instead of seeing new mechanics and gameplay elements added to toy around with people instead want to complain that it is stealing from the content they like but thats really just not true. All work put into the game improves the game at a basic level which is something that everyone benefits from even if its not directly.

lol yeah its crazy to me people complain about pregnancy mechanic and it "taking dev time away" while theres content for fucking wasp sex or leeches etc which i always turn off..

for me a decent pregnancy mechanic is a must-have in any good porn game. Otherwise all the sexual acts feel quite meaningless and the potential mechanic of cum in/out is irrelevant

Kindly specify who did what instead of throwing about these sweeping generalizations. Alternatively explain when any of this happened because as of the last exchange:

• Besides one person who said it could away from other content, nobody said to remove pregnancy outright.
• You assumed a shared motivation (this isn't my fetish, therefore bad) when once again only one person expressed this.
• I exclusively looked at the game mechanics pregnancy introduces and gave a neutral stance on the fetish while you claim the opposite happened.

Besides that, there's fetishes I actually like that still make me groan because of how it was done, (Eg. Bukkake making you slippery in a platformer or forcing you to clean up in order to interact with NPCs in RPGs) and fetishes I hate but give enough utility to justify keeping it on (Eg. Dirt coverage in LonaRPG makes enemies less likely to rape you due to reducing your sexy score at the cost of risking infection if you go too long without bathing.) If the upsides at least compete with the downsides I'd at least concider turning it on. Does being pregnant make sex risky to you you or your potential children? Do we have to deal with cramping, reduced athletic score, or mornign sickness? How's the interactions with your children? Can you take them with you on your escapades? This kind of stuff could be interesting or remain as an extra box to untick when starting a run depending on how it's implimented.

Anyone that has been in this thread longer than a week has seen dozens of people filter in and out complaining about how preg content is a waste of time and oftentimes they explicitly say it is because nobody wanted it. Just look back in the thread especially during the time it was taking for them to make it when it delayed the release for a good while. It seemed like half the damn posts back then were people complaining.

Sometimes an argument or statement isnt specifically directed at a person or post but at a general concept or idea people keep perpetuating. Sometimes when things are said that sounds an awful lot like what those people have said they get lumped in with them. Not every post is directly addressed to specific posts.

Tbf it'd be very hard to say that nobody wanted it, because preg kink ppl have a thing in common with linux users

That's one question answered. Good on ye.

So your defense for using a generalization fallacy is... People use generalization fallacies? I don't get that logic. Not antagonizing either I'm genuinely confused here.

It was only on the top of the list because the same handful of vocal fans who had been clamoring for it for years (and shouting down the majority who didn't want it) filled out the polls dozens of times each. Very few people wanted it and it makes the game worse for any unsuspecting non-preg-fetishist who doesn't read every detail of the setup menu.

I think one of the more accurate estimations about how prevalent players wanted preg content was / is(?) the comments underneath the blog posts.
I do not remember reading more than maybe 5-10 posts akin to "When preg content?" underneath each blog post, which usually had hundreds of comments...

People spreading misinformation just because they don't like the fact that it is something that was wanted heavily. Nothing new there.

 

[MasterN64]

Its just another coping mechanism for why everyone ELSE is wrong and how everything they like or dont like is somehow objectively right even when it makes no sense or has no evidence. Its not about the results of any polls or discussions because thats all fake. Its not about what people are saying because its all lies. Its not about how well received something was they are all lying. Its uncanny how this kind of thinking overlaps quite solidly with certain circles in reality. The kinds of people that unironically argue like this are the kinds of people that probably deny the moon landing or believe in flat earth theory. Its not about having arguments that make sense its about having arguments that they can believe in even if they are batshit insane because it makes them feel good.

Its also really funny how commenting on a general trend that we are seeing play out right now in this thread that has happened multiple times over the last year is somehow a "generalization fallacy." I LITERALLY said that the kinds of people that argue about this kind of stuff constantly argue that nobody wants it and then IMMEDIATELY people screech and post about how nobody actually wants it and it was all some kind of secret plot to undermine the game.

Hi.

v0.5.0.5 Android + BEEESSS + Kaervek's Community Sprites + Firemod. Start page streched icon appears to be a issue with outdated Firemod not meshing perfectly well with newer version, but no functional glitches noted.

The sky is very pretty in this update, delightful.

Personally ambivalent regarding pregnancy content, satisfied that content is still developing regularly instead of eternal hiatus or masses of do-nothing filler. Option of sterility through contraceptives abuse for feats-friendly disabling of content could be a solution for those not keen on it.

 

[EmDotRand]

... Maybe I should ask one of the guys that showed interest in conversing. Presumably this happened to the others:



That leaves Karkhel. Could you elaborate on those the consequences after birth your mentioned? Got my femboy implanted with a wasp egg and wanted to know what I'm in for. I'm also looking out for the aforementioned flavor text, but I'm a week in and so far it's just stuff like morning sickness and Dr Harper offering to deliver it for free in exchange for a live audience. Is it just a "wait for it" ordeal?

Yeah I’m just happy they’re continuing to develop. As a mind control fan the niche im here for hasn’t been developed in a long time. But I check in every once and awhile just to see what’s happening,

 

[darkgryffon]

Its been a while, and i may have missed this setting or something, but is there a way to make sex last longer? namely due to the fact it only takes a couple turns regardless the situation for someone to 'finish'. I just felt like i may have seen that setting some where but i forgot about it. if there isnt anything like that, thank you for your time or answers

If you play on DOL+ then yes there is a setting and you can have it scale over time

Oh I dunno anything about parasitic/egg pregnancy sorry, I meant having to pay for the upkeep which is raised even more if you don't show up to take care of them regularly and most of the flavor is mostly with specific love interest pregnancies. If you want egg pregnancy that does that I guess you got a great hawk now, though I don't know how fleshed out their events are.

I've been playing this game for some time and still don't fully understand - what's the best way to play? Try to remain virgin and undefiled for as long as possible (can I succeed or will I inevitably sooner or later stop having enough money?) or, on the contrary, try to become as depraved as possible and earn money in the same brothel? Or some other way?

I don't think there's a best way to play a sandbox game.
It's literally in the genre, you decide how you want, what you wanna do.
Make a character and make 'em suffer as much as you can? Vice versa? Hurt others? etc etc.
Be a prude temple monk / nun, be a depraved version of it, make a thief that steals from the rich rp-ing as robin hood or just steal to live, so many ways to play and do lotta things~~~

Seriously? Fine, I'll do a hellhound run where I shack up with the Black wolf to see what happens. There better be some goddamn fuzzy feelings involved or my riot continues.
