RPGM Demon Deals [v0.06.5a] [Breadman Games]
- Thread starter BreadManGames
- Start date
Lmao. Why would they become dead ends? That's exactly the shit you make up. Just make them not dead ends and plan them in a fashion that they have multiple functions for different characters.
It's basically the same it is right now, just that the regions would unlock later. You're basically arguing against your argument while you try to make it look like there would be a logic flaw in my suggestion.
That isn't the point.
Too many dead ends and snippets lying around in the same time, can reduce.
Indeed, luckily nobody suggested to add random characters that would be fuckable out of the blue.
Feel free to engage.

We're more active on the discord, but we try to engage as much as possible with our community. After all, we're trying to make the best game we can, and your input helps us
Because you're the one who suggested area's tied to certain characters. Once the questline for those characters is done, there's no more reason to go there, so that's a dead end.
As it is now?
Oh, exactly as it is now. But why unlock later if you can unlock it now? It makes more sense to tell the player "hey, you can find stores in the store district" rather than "go find this new store somewhere in another area".
Then what is the point? That there isn't enough to do yet? Again, start of the development. Give it time. We barely made it past the intro.
Then how would you introduce new characters if you want to put in complete questlines from the get go? Because you can't use them anymore to introduce them, since that would lead, again, to "dead ends" as you put it.

Please move your dissertation defenses to PMs... Yes, this is a discussion board, but it's for many people to read/comment (and repeat the same questions already answered 100x), not for two people to hold a lengthy debate. From General Rules of F95:

Alright, let me just reply a last time because there's so much misinformation in the last post. After then I'll stay away from discussing this here further, promised.
No, I didn't - and that's what I say all the time, you seem still not to understand my suggestion as a whole.
I said it's better to start off with 1/4 of the game and deliver more streamlined content in each update rather than having the whole empty open world right from the start.
Then you said "They can't do this. What if a character needs one of the stores in its storyline that is part of the map that's not avaiable yet?"
This is (!) when I said: You would of course plan it out from the beginning in a fashion that all the neccessary buildings are there. So if you know one of your characters requires to go to the gym early in the game, then the gym is an obvious choice for the first 1/4 of the game. And if you want some chars to have a coffe-shop date in the first quarter of the game, the coffee shop is another obvious choice.
I hope you got it now. I also said that there must not be a specific shop for every single event on the world map. They could, and I repeat that, add something like a taxi, subway or whatever for quick travel to go to certain locations where you'd then just spawn interior right away. Also special events can be approached with fade in / outs, let's say a romantic restaurant visit that is only supposed to happen once in game, when they don't want to implement that into the city.
Tons of ways to get creative when implementing things.
The previously built stores aren't any dead ends, they can be used further as the map expanses and the story progresses. Who said you can't do another questline or sidequest at 80% of the game progression that leads back to the coffee shop or gym from the beginning with newer characters?
Exactly.
Just.
Not.
All.
At.
Once.
*grunts*
Because this way developers can ensure players will for now experience only areas that matter, without running around and exploring for nothing since there's almost nothing to explore yet. Also they can put more love and effort into those parts for now and add other things later when they become important.
That's not the point.
The point is what we could've now if focus was tighter. And the same goes for every upcoming update.
So I'm sure this is valuable feedback for the creators.
It's simply not practical to do the whole bottom-up approach at once, for an open world if early access and playability is the goal.
Complete questlines doesn't mean complete character questline finished. It just means that a particular
questline for that char is done. For instance, the gym line with Cassie, even if she will have 10 other questlines later.
So there's no problem - if cleverly planned - to introduce new characters mid-game and implement them into already
existing story arcs.
/ Over and out.

I think the nice thing about the framework we have now is that we're constantly moving the plot forward. If we're not focusing on the fan voted girl, we're revisiting the cast in MC's immediate vicinity (namely his family). It's our goal to great a "slow burn" that doesn't feel tedious, but assist the player in connecting with these characters and ultimately result in a bigger payoff when it comes. Sabrina was our first character driven build, and we hope it met our community's ever rising standards. If we're doing our jobs right, Brenda will not only be a hit, but also shift favorite lists around yet again. Everyone has their most beloved girl, but I want to see if we can make you fall in love with everyone on some level as we go.
I really think though that you're working on a great game, I especially love the art, animations are so great!
If I may add some additional feedback:
1. Few games have this, but it's very nice: Idle animations after cum, so that a scene doesn't end with a static picture but still has some motion (breathing of the chars and so on) going on after the cum.
2. I felt the MC was a bit out of his character when he spoke so bad and dominant with the girl behind the school yard giving him a blowjob. It's not his character (at least yet) to talk this bad to people.
3. I hope mind control tricks with his devil power won't be too much of a focus, especially not with the mom. I think it feels so much more rewarding to work towards a character getting actual affection for you, rather than just cheating a person into something she wouldn't do with you if you didn't manipulate her. I know this is a main aspect of your game so you will make a certain use of it, I still hope there will be a decent balance or optionality.
its the first thing you've said right after claiming its unorgnized (which its not due to each map holding development value due to some of the character placements). im not going to continue this out of repect for the devs. so id suggest looking at how mmos or large scale rpgs maps are created and compare the dead ends in each game.
the gym will have more stuff if you give it time my friendgenuily like the built up to the relationship with the milf (not naming anyone out of respect) most other games ether make it agonizingly slow or usually give up half way and your already balls deep in them. its a good slow burn that reminds me of k-prison or town of passion.

Hahahah I know what you mean. I just remember the names of the family because I'm a family man
.
I don't give dates ahead of time, both to not put undue pressure on myself and to not have the risk of letting people down when a deadline is missed or pushed. Best guesstimate I can give is that v.05 took ~6mo, 5.5 is about half the size and I got back to full-time work around Jan. 11th. I regularly post progress logs on substar and the Discord, so people can get an idea of where I am and what I still have left.
Back to full time? Congrats. Don't overdo it with other work then. Dont want you to go down the burnout road
