HTML Degrees of Lewdity [v0.5.4.6] [Vrelnir]

[Midge]

I play them for entertainment as well, the ""get their rocks off"" part, was to simply say that most people don't really play a porn game, just so they can unlock customization, that should be unlocked from the start, certain ones i can understand, however other ones make no sense, why limit the character creation, and force the play to go through content they may not enjoy, that's not right to the player, as it's very obvious this game is supposed to be played the way you, the player wants to play it.
It's not fun having the illusion of choice, and it's not fun to have content locked behind the fact that you need to do things you don't want to do, simply so you can maybe make your character have the ability to know how to run, if you got enough play coins to make Doctor Coomer happy, that is.

Just don't want to put hours into a game I only tend to play for a small amount of time, along with that, rarely play unless having something better to do.
I just feel that you shouldn't be locked out of content.
We criticize triple A developers for doing this shit all the time, why is it okay for anyone else to do it?
It's not fun, it's annoying, this isn't the type of game most completionist are gonna want to play.

I don't get what you're saying here. Every thing is unlockable from the start. No content is "locked" away from us. The Feat system and Vrel coins were only a way to entice peeps to "play" the game without cheats and doesn't have any exclusive content tied to it. We bash on Devs who put stuff behind "pay walls" yes, but i applaud Devs who have deep quest threads that spur me to look in every nook and cranny to find every morsel of content. Hiding content and locking content are not the same thing and i think Vrel does a bang up job of not crossing that line even with the "feat boosts".
But please tell us what you think is being "locked"away from us, i'm curious to know.
The Feat boosts were a way for peeps who are on their "next" play through to avoid some of the grind. The player options of waif, athlete, nerd, etc are the starter packs that boost some stats but hurt you on others. You DON'T have to play any content you don't like, there are check boxes and sliders to help with this, and as this is a sandbox game you are only missing the content you didn't want to see anyway as no one thing is nessecary to "progress" in this game and you can always choose a different route to reach your goals. You wont get the "full" experiance but you'll get the one you want.
Oh and who is Doctor Coomer?

When will the pregnancy update be?

Someday it will be.

Lol, hopefully next big update will have a rudimentary pregnancy system. Not because I want it (not my thing), but because people asking for a preggo character are getting under my skin. And I've only followed the game for a few months, imagine how Vrelnir feels.

People think it's so easy to incorporate this fetish. Like, come on man, just gib us a picture of the protaginist with a belly, how difficult could that be? Let's think. Conceiving is easy enough to implement really, given we avoid menstrual cycles and just use a chance-based system. Okay, moving on. We will need to know how our baby is doing. It means additional lines indicating that the character is pregnant and the baby is growing. Ideally we would want unique events, like waking up during the night and throwing up, or coming to the hospital for check-ups and possible lewd events like being molested by gynecologists, etc. Okay, could be managed in a few evenings if someone helps with the writing. Then it has to be properly implemented and initially tested, to make sure the system works as intended. Then we need visual representation, which is tricky. Y'all may not even realize how much work has to be done. I don't even know myself, but I can imagine. Okay, let's assume Vrelnir found a way to easen up the process, like making the belly an independent body part, like breasts/penis, and it'll change color authomaticly. Now sex scenes need to be redrawn with different stages of pregnancy (small belly, middle, and large at least). Takes time and effort. Also coding so that the game knows that the character is pregnant, and the animation should be changed to the one with the belly. Let's imagine this is done and tested. Now what do we do with the kid when nine months pass? Do we commit abortion? Like, how ethical is that? I realize it's just a game, but limiting the players to killing their virtual child is not okay in my book. Vrelnir opposed the idea of mild occasional NTR for slut characters in one of my suggestions, so imagine how they'd feel about giving the players the one and only option of abortion. What do we do once the kid is born? It can't stay at the orphanage. Gets taken away by social services? Maybe, but personally I feel it'd be unsatisfying (being pregnant for 9 months to only have a generic event, a feat, and then start it all over again after being impregnated another time?). I struggle to find other options. Even if we somehow manage to rent an apartment in the future, looking after a child will turn into a boring micromanagementfest (imagine being forced to feed it every three hours or it'll die lol). Having a child is more of an endgame event in my opinion. Okay, let's settle on losing the child somehow. Now we need to think of restrictions imposed by changes in the body. Exercising will need to be restricted to a certain degree, which means more writing, coding, testing. Some actions will need to be too difficult to do near the end of the term. More writing, coding and testing, unless you are okay with the game losing immersion. Also little things will need to be taken into account. How will the school react to a pregnant student? How will Bailey react to one of their assets potentially losing income-bringing value and giving birth to another hungry mouth? How will this and how will that?

In other words, are you alright with having a crippled pregnancy system? Is it fine for you to get pregnant because of how the stars alligned that night, and then for the pregnancy to magically end at midnight after a month passes? Are you okay with not seeing the belly in the images for the time being? Because the images will most likely be implemented after the initial release, not during. Are unique events not necessary for you? Is it fine that other characters don't react to your condition apart from a few lines during intercourse sequences? If the answers are 'yes', then, well, I'm sure Vrelnir could come up with this kind of pregnancy in a week's time. However, I wouldn't count on that. So far Vrelnir delivered big time, and I'm sure they are not intending to lower the bar.

Someday it will be.

I want it but know full well what it will take to achieve so am content to wait. Even if it's on the back end of development. I have seen how many other games have it and would probably want something like Summertime saga's version- a chance to conceive(made easier or harder with drugs) a few weeks(hand waved away with eldrich magic in this case) of preg stuff and events(belly growth and NPC interactions, sexy times and the like) and then a birth event and the child gets "adopted" or some other methord of removal(humane of corse). And i'd be happy. And as i said i know the monumental effort it would take to get "just" this so i am happy it's inclusion has been considered at all especialy if it's not Vrel's "thing". So even if it's waaaaaaaay down the line i'll be fine as i'm here for the long haul and am keen for that workable farm and prison and dojo and all the NNPC stuff and just generaly how this game is going to evolve.

 

[NyaaRrar]

Vrelnir Could you we have an event like this, in the rich district, when you attempt to sneak into a house and get caught? You get caught, collared to a dog. Stuck in a prone position.

 

[foxXIII]

you could add cats and dogs to the farm since barns always end up with cats and having a herding or just pet dog is really common on farms too

 

[gumford]

Best game ever, keep it up, thanks!

 

[MrCrazy123]

I know there is alot more farm content coming but, yes please, do this. I really want some area with some real dedicated beast content that I can explore. It's such a fantasy of mine and very very few games let you do anything with it at all. Using dogs and cats can let you just recycle some assets and write a few simple scenes out, but it'd still feel like some new robust content because it's not easy to find dogs/cats on demand right now.

 

[Chrisypoo12345]

anyone have a save file?

 

[AName333]

this versions been slightly out of date for a while, 0.2.13.4 is out but this is still at .2.13.2

 

[Swedra]

You could have stopped right there.

But then we wouldnt have that lovely crossed-out speech to read ;__;

 

[Swedra]

I wouldn't know, because I didn't bother to read it. I'm of the opinion that since DoL is a game that bends over backwards to let people turn off fetishes that they don't like, we shouldn't listen to people who don't even like the thing they talking about how to implement. We were told over a year and a half ago that pregnancy was going to be in the game, this is the sort of game that generally has pregnancy, so people are going to occasionally ask about it. Get over it.

Says the one getting so animated about it. Holy crap.

 

[Swedra]

I just pondered something, what if reaching a high enough transformation (for example wolf) made you able to whine or howl during an encounter rather than scream or moan or something, with appropriate (or inappropriate) reactions from whatever beast or human is trying to have their way with you? Maybe it wouldnt need to replace anything either, like a cat could perhaps have a sort of Hiss action, with different outcomes depending on the situation.
(And Meow/Mewl. Cow would likely have Moo instead of Moan. Demon could have like a seductive laugh or impish cackle, depending on your attitude, and Angelic could have something like Angelic Giggle, or Soothing Words, or something like that.)

PSA: I have barely played around with Transformations so I dont know if something like this is already implemented, in full or in part, so excuse me if I appear like an idiot with these ideas >w<

 

[Swedra]

"animated"? I posted some words. Meanwhile you are talking about furry crap (and apparently haven't even played the game for any meaningful length of time). No surprises there.

What are you on about? Are you a troll or something? I've played this game for more hours than I could count, lol.

I have never got the demand action... i always get the mock/tease. However, in my game i nearly ever hit anyone and submission is hi, don't know if that triggers this action. (i got "hit others" in 3, had to hit "the Ranch" guy 3 times, he deserve it, or was it cathulu? i think i had to kick cathulu.. yeah that was probably it, restraining arms/legs sometimes only gives me the kick option. otherwise i be in "hit others: 0")

You need more awareness

Thanks guys, high awareness is indeed the trigger for unlocking it. I got it down to -3 but it did not unlock yet, so we need to get it lower still.

 

[AriaZaia]

So it's like a random event on the streets? ...well that is a shame. Thanks for telling!

yeah, kinda sucks. Wish that after the event proc'd once, the guy would tell you he owns the shop in the shopping center and he has it available for purchase for you from now on so I wouldn't have to worry about finding another after getting it inevitably torn to shreds by some mangy cur in the residential alleyways

 

[DD2]

...If cat and dog transformation get "whine" and "howl" choice during encounters; Angel, fallen Angel and Demon should get "Thunder God's Voice" "Cry of the Gods" and "Demonic ROAR!" respectively *nods* and don't get started with the cows "MoOOOOOos"

Chingonerio
oh! yeah, i remember something, the only difference i can figure out about that cloth (was ripped in an encounter BTW) is that that cloth was the one MC had on when i sell all my entire wardrobe... perhaps! the cloth your MC uses when you sell all the cloth is "included" with the ones sold and so he doesn't recon it as cloth to be fix?

 

[ladguru]

You're right, according to the wiki Bratty/Defiant both unlock the Demand skill. But I can't seem to find the requirements for Mock anywhere though

Mocking is tied to awareness.

 

[sonotink]

i played around with the html file, here is a save with all feats unlocked

literal hero.

 

[DD2]

hehehe the pleb! resourcing on save files... no wonder people say everyone who play DOL is a cheater. Not me! ...besides i play in android so can't use it. -.-U

 

[AriaZaia]

Are there different events in school depending on if you're wearing the long or short school shirt as opposed to the standard version?
