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

[Sharkie94]

Was gonna give the game a rating... first time I've ever felt like doing so.
200 word minimum to be allowed to click the star?

Why?
Why not allow people to casually rate?

Was gonna write
----
A life sim that beats anything out there.
Unique, and one-of-a-kind experience.
----
But apparently that's not "good enough".

Guess I'm never rating anything, ever, on this site.

First of all, 200 words isn't really that much. You're just lazy.

Second, the two sentences you posted here are the shittiest review I've ever seen. It's generic as hell and says nothing at all. You could apply your "review" to most of the games found here, and I'm glad F95 doesn't allow such crap.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Bet you also use ChatGPT to write your school essays.

Damn they hit SubscribeStar too? So no place is safe anymore?
How does Japan deal with this issue? Ain't they have plenty of platforms just for indie NSFW stuff?
Really wish you can all other devs can get a satisfying resolution soon.
Free Expression should never be censored or banned if it's not against the law.

And really appreciate your hardwork no matter what.

Any place that uses Visa/Mastercard is gambling. The Japanese can use their own payment systems.

When ability to kill? I'm tired spamming punch and kick

 

[Donny Ranistvenich]

Seems like a lot of content for an update, but the game is already so massive that it feels like sprinkles everywhere unless you try and go find it.

I wish the official graphics could get a bit of a lick of paint. There's a lot of mods that have tried to do so over the years. I was always wondering, if it was kept 'pixelated' to try and not 'piss off' the 'wrong people'. But it seems that ship has just sailed...

Even reading the blog requires giving Google your information

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is not a currency it is a speculative commodity. A volatile one at that. The transaction fees and times alone are enough to render it basically useless for anything that is actually a common use case because unless you pay extra to skip the queue of transactions the amount of time it takes to process one often times drastically changes the value of the currency. Its like going to a store and picking up something on the shelf for $5 only for it to cost $3 when you get to checkout but finally costing $7 when the payment clears. Not to mention the ever looming threat that the bubble pops and its all useless tomorrow.

It is an absolute last resort because literally any other option is better.

(or when X creates a competitor)

Musk will never do anything that is actually good for users or people in general. I mean hes the most famous "free speech absolutist" and he has been running around twitter trying to turn it into an echochamber and banning people for saying shit he doesnt like. Even if he does make a payment processor its likely going to be even more policed than what we already have.

I don't think Bitcoin is even a "resort" at all, unless you are an active Bitcoin farmer yourself.
It has no bases, no accountability, no stability, like, at all. Not to mention all the hoops regular people need to jump over to use it, and the massive outlaw security risk.
And I think the others "X" meant "a new unknown entry", Not "X" as twitter. Not sure why you even default "X" onto Elon.

Although I wish the game had more active gameplay instead of just passively accepting things—for example, gradually unlocking actions that give the player more agency as skills improve, which would add a strong sense of story and RPG flavor—aside from that, I think this game is really well made.

I also hope the developer will continue their great work.

IMO that's probably impossible unless the game is rebuilt from ground up, with better progression / action implementation in mind (And probably a better engine). The best example I can think of is LonaRPG.
DoL is just already too big to do such dramatic change. (DoL2 maybe)
And it's funny so many cry for a "3rd position", as if it would improve the game-play in any meaningful way.

So its the same as before?
Still, even just the community notes feature is a pretty great addition to twitter imo.

The "new survey" link still links to a survey from 2023 btw.

I figured it out after it was asking about 0.3 stuff.

 

[PartTimeDegen]

Compared to the drivel most NSFW games are DoL gameplay is absolutely stellar. I am sure everyone here would be interested to hear how you would "improve" the gameplay. Or maybe the game is just not for you.

I do agree but DoL is 90% its customization and the rest is pretty bare-bones. It's just everything is a case of getting raped by strangers and not really anything beyond that. Something to spice it up where it isn't just "someone pushes you to the ground, rips off your clothes, then violates you" would be an improvement. I liked Course of Temptation's way because it has a similar sex thing, but you do get "regulars". Likewise Lilith's Throne has great sex stuff and tries to spice it up.

the improvements over the core gameplay loop have been piling up over the time, glued together with dirt and duct tape on top of itself, and now not a single person knows how it works or even why it works. and that's just the code side. there's ~4700 sprites split over 2 sex positions, good luck adding a third one. it's too big and convoluted. the snow and rain systems are child's play in comparison, it takes way less work to add to them or replace them from scratch, therefore it's getting done.

Yea I figured it was akin to "90s C++ codebase showing its age", it does feel like all the outfits made it worse in the sense that to make a better scalable system, all that work would need to be re-done.

i feel this. im waiting on new positions, dick swaying in rythym to sex, and other body parts jiggling etc. sucks that for years theres maybe less than five sex positions overall.

Yea same this is similar to what I was saying, I've tried playing it over the years but it reduces down to seeing what new clothes were added.

You know, it would be better if you actually gave some suggestions in your posts instead of just taking the shit out of your ass and sending it here via fax machine. That's just my opinion though.

Calm down, all I'm saying is that the game is having a problem of adding random shit rather than considering if it actually benefits the game or not. It's the same problem "The sissy girlfriend experiment" had where they half-arsed the story/gameplay loop because they got bored, then proceeded to add random BS like being a wizard or something (last I remember).

I mean on a systems level, most people don't want to waste time on mid or bad games unless it pisses them off, so reviews basically lean towards a system where you have to know how to translate what a sycophant/fanboy would say just to find out if it's good. I've seen games that are at best mid, but because nobody but the obsessed want's to write 200 words for it, all you have left are people glazing it like it's a bukkake

 

[Sum Gi]

Painful part of seeing a big new update is that fixes are coming in so fast it's best to just wait. And then I gotta wait for Dol+ too, sigh.

This "Payment Processor"-debacle, will likely blow over when governments (hopefully) stops them from having a bias...
(or when X creates a competitor)

The idea that musk will solve this problem is so patently ridiculous that I just assumed this guy was just using X as a stand in for blank. And no, this shit is 100% here to stay. Tech bros are not the solution to this problem, they are the problem. Just look up Palantir, can probably blame them for half of this.

It leans the other way too. If making reviews is too easy, then it can get brigaded for the stupidest reasons. Downvote all NTR! Too many lesbians! Gallery isn't unlocked! Raaape! Futas! ETC!

There are a lot of volatile topics that could cause someone to give an automatic 1 star without even playing the game. At least requiring a word count provides some level of quality control.

it's not 200 words, it's 200 characters. the guy wasn't just lazy at writing, he's lazy at reading too. and y'all also lazy at fact-checking, lol

 

[rhoghadessa]

Oh come on, you guys know that the best reviews to follow are those that say stuff like "I really enjoyed playing Degree of Lewdity and spent xx hours on this game but I don't like being the one getting raped so I have to give this game 1/5 stars" like those Steam reviews.

On a more relevant topic though, I've become too dependent on DoLP over actual DoL to the point where some things I started thinking is 'vanilla' was, in fact, not. I guess I'll have to leave playing any further until a month or so later, like how it always happens to me when it comes to Rimworld and mods, because that wanting feeling of DoLP features will otherwise keep hounding me like the Ivory Wrath.

Cant blame them, the world is going to shit, nobody wants to be bothered thus the Lazying begins.

 

[ashley_1147]

anyone got reccomendations for game like this one that are easier to follow? or just any tips for this game? cuz I feel like I get lost on the story all the time, and I forget what I'm doing
