HTML Degrees of Lewdity [v0.5.6.8] [Vrelnir]

[Amhran]

1. I'd be pretty scared of re-making the combat sprites right now what with the focus for 0.5 being redoing the combat and how the combat sprites work, seems like a recipe for possibly having wasted a lot of work that may or may not be usable in the future.

2. Too bad these side-view mods seem to be made for the BEES mod. Novel idea, but really not a fan of the full anime look. It's a style I like less and less the closer up I get: no way am I ever looking at those ugly orb eyes the entire game.

I mean, we can compare which combat sprites would be better later on when it's finally out.
And it's always great to see something new and different once in a while after being used to the same thing for god-knows-how-long already.

I use BEEESSS mainly for the hairdos 'cause vanilla tends to be kinda meh but that's just me.
Ain't no way I'm making my chara this over the f-ing top though.
I enjoy the simple aesthetic, fk these divine MMO lookin-a$$ sh-

Honestly I think I prefer the simpler vanilla graphics anyway, in terms of what BEEES and Firemod and things shown now do. It just works better for my imagination filling in the gaps rather than having to work with the artsyle of those graphical mods.

What I meant more was that there's a possibility all the work they've done may straight up be unusable in the future, depending on what changes actually happen to the combat/sprite systems for 0.5. It's not really clear how the devs envision that the overhaul will work or look like at this point, assuming that it happens.

For me, it seems as though the more detailed an art style or character design gets, the greater the likelihood I won't like it, but the small percentage that I do, I really like. So for my own tastes, it's usually better to stay relatively simple, which is generally a key strength of pixel art graphics (also helps with being able to better imagine a surrounding world for me as well). The BEES style...definitely starts to get away from that for me.

They'll be fineeee~~~
There's Level Asian for a reason.
A patch is nothing against the superior beings.

As an Asian, I can confirm that we are superior beings and there are some crazy bastards even by our standards

Hey!
Just seeing if this might be a bug: Has anyone experienced their character getting stress rising with things that are supposed to *lower* stress? Baths, conversations, it's all making the stress go up and I don't know why.

what your trauma/control or fatigue?

 

[peebo]

what your trauma/control or fatigue?

Fatigue was relatively high, but control was fine.

 

[Raf-Raf]

Fatigue was relatively high, but control was fine.

If fatigue is maxed, everything you do will increase stress.

Damn a Chinese friend of mine got an in-Dev new side view mod (arguably the best one to date)

Unfortunately they say that the author doesn't want to share just yet, don't know whether they will change their mind

BEEESSS or is it the Chinese mod.
They kinda look the same and that's a plus.

Any idea what precisely 0.5 will entail, or is it all just speculation at this point? I wager that the ETA is gonna be around spring 2024 or later? Do they intend to change the posing completely too? I remember reading how the current combat was intended solely for the bedroom assault scene, way, way, way back, and was just kept because... reasons, I guess...

i cant rise my promiscuity... it just stopped after 61 points, idk why (i tried to rise it with sex etc, brothel etc but it doesnt work). Any solution?

 

[MRN64]

The higher the stat gets the harder it is to level since the more "tame" actions now longer raise it. You have to do more extreme actions. For that stat i believe you have to proposition people directly and not rely on people doing it to you.

I tried looking for these Sideview mods but wasn't too successful.I think these ones build off of beeees.

Speaking of beeees, I prefer it to vanilla for less wonky right eye and less... stubby(?) limbs.

The higher any of your stats are, the more difficult/extreme you have to go in order to keep raising them. If you're at level 4 promiscuity, level 4 promiscuity actions will be effective at raising your promiscuity to level 5. I'm fairly certain that level 3 actions will also be effective as well, but at a greatly reduced rate compared to when you were at level 3 promiscuity. Meanwhile, I believe if you're at level 4 promiscuity, level 1-2 actions will have no longer help raise your level at all. In effect, go find new promiscuous actions available to you if you want to continue to raise your promiscuity.

Sometime ago, a developer (maybe LollipopScythe?) working with Vrelnir came in here and said that they had agreed to make the long-planned combat overhaul the focus of 0.5, but that was months ago and who knows, priorities change all the time. Though I asked at least a couple of times, I never got an answer from anyone as to what the eventual combat overhaul might ideally look like once implemented, so I really have no idea in even most general sense what the goals of the overhaul really are, or what the current combat system is lacking or doing wrong that they would like to fix, change, or add on to. Somebody probably knows, but that person is not me: I'm still completely in the dark in this regard. I'd like to know as well, so that it isn't some total surprise if/when the current system goes completely out the window and is instead replaced by something else entirely, but I'm not sure whether or not those plans have been detailed anywhere yet.

You should never get your hopes up for anything or assume something is happening until the writing is on the wall. The people that will swing in and tell you they know FOR CERTAIN that something is happening are generally delusional. Unless of course they are the people actually doing the thing which most of the time are not. Any public service or good will attract a dedicated group of schizos that will run around claiming their dad works at nintendo and that they know super secret info about what is going on behind the scenes and its almost always just some dipshit with his head shoved up his ass.

Some speculation is fine and perfectly acceptable with the proper caveats and disclaimers like was posted above. Jumping into a discussion about how the next feature is GUARANTEED to be something or about how the whole project is IMPLODING because you saw a post from a guy who knows a guy who once talked to someone who was in a discord channel with someone who knew an ex dev is delusional rambling garbage. Its a kind of post we see pretty regularly here sadly. We will know about the feature list when Vrel makes it known in a blog post or on his discord. Not a second sooner no matter how many other people come forward and claim otherwise. Anything and everything until that exact moment is hearsay and should be not taken seriously. Thats not to say that it shouldnt be discussed but people really need to reign in their expectations and keep in mind its all speculation as its going.

In this case it's not an assumption lol

But we don't know when 0.5 will happen. As cautiously Vrel is incrementing versions, we could have a 0.4.19 before this.
