HTML Demon Gods [v0.52] [Panonon]

[Panonon]

I was rather low level when that screenshot was made, goblins gave 300 per body.

Odd, the type of enemy shouldn't make a difference since I do the calculations based on how the enemy is defeated and what level the enemy is compared to you... hmm...

Hm, come to think of it, the fights are always one-on-one huh..
Perhaps you should start giving the player tougher fights, against multiple opponents at the same time, because honestly so far the hard difficulty doesn't impress, i simply squeeze every last drop of exp out of everything and become too powerful for anyone.

I'm not against this but it would require me to rebuild the battle system yet again, so I'm pretty hesitant. At least for now.
If I build another battle system for another game though, I'll definitely be doing it differently.

But then again, i'd say my style of play is not quite common anymore, kids these days don't have the patience to grind like i do.

I hear you. The number of times I've played FF6 and FF9.
I'm not big on grinding in modern games... Depending on the game, but for some reason old FF games, xenogears, legend of dragoon, parasite eve, etc. Maybe due to nostalgia, none of it bothers me.

Surely you jest. Do you think anything prevents players from just grinding the brothel all day long

Not until chapter 3.5

Yeah, figured these were in v52 since i haven't seen them in 51.
Meh, maybe should have waited for v52.. ah well, quite far to stop now.

Well, if you're patient enough. v52 comes out on my website in roughly 1.5 weeks. You'll be able to continue from wherever you left off...

However, I'd actually recommend waiting for version 0.52 anyways before you start the second half of chapter 3 as it's a drastic improvement and completes the area which will fix a certain issue that was impossible for me to avoid in version 0.51 (can't say what it is due to spoilers).

In short, I had to move things around in version 0.51 a bit because there was no way I was completing the entire chapter, and I was able to place them back in their proper places in update version 0.52, which releases for free on 05/01 on my website or 05/03 publicly.

Hm, how about this idea:
Every X months, you add new patron-only exclusives to the game.
Kind of like they do it in all those mmorpg games where they add new cosmetics and shit all the time so people keep spending money.
Then, after making and adding new exclusives for the patrons, you make old patron-only exclusives public.

Yeah, I've tried coming up with ideas for this. Like outfits or something. I'm not too sure, but it is extra work to create a seperate version for free players.

I'm not too sure. :/

That's great, since i'm already there. Playing with teaching Rhelyla transformation tricks atm, i love her so much. <3
Btw that guest writer (Eins was it) is not bad at all, i'd even say he's pretty good, you can definitely work together with him more.

Yeah, I was originally planning to write those scenes but Eins offered.

Eins is way better at adding emotion to lewd scenes than I am, and he writes fantastic scenes.
I've offered to pay him, but he's refused for DG. We have talked about paying him for other games though in the future. I've even suggested the idea of making a game together.
I really enjoy working with him.

I don't think you did.. though i gave up on trying it on males pretty fast since after trying and failing a couple times i figured this gig was a no-go. But i'm glad you have this planned.

Yeah, I think one of these updates I need to just spend on filling back content.
I'm so happy with the exploration of chapter 3.5 that I kind of want to go back and redo a lot in my original forest. Though I have no idea what I'd do differently.

Take care not to burn out,

I've been getting burnt out a lot lately, and I've been really eager to move onto another game. I wish I had made this game shorter. It's mostly the sheer number of NSFW scenes I have to write for this game that burns me out. I actually enjoy writing the overall story, but it's hard to come up with so many NSFW scenes.

That said, I won't bail on this game, or rush it. I'd hate for my first game to be another one of those canceled games.
If I make another game as long as this one though, with as many paths as I've done, I really hope to have a backup writer or something next time. In the future I'll try and do things a bit simpler, though I still want to enjoy the stories I tell.

At first i thought you succeed TFing the target only when you crit, but i'm not sure. Honestly, the whole thing is a bit convoluted, i think enemy-TF would benefit if you made it more... prominent? clearer? visible? that it proc'd on the enemy. I think i'd appreciate that.

Got it, I'll go back and review what I have it say and consider modifying it. It is a low chance of success on any enemy.
I think for male enemies that don't have a scene I changed it so it will instantly end the fight, but I don't recall for sure.

Perhaps you should start using colored text for important things like this,

Back when I used to do web dev, we were strongly advised against using colored text. I know it's common in games, but everytime I consider doing it, I end up getting college flashbacks and some of my older jobs when I used to design websites.
(I'm kinda kidding). But seriously, I do consider this but I don't want to leave color-blind people out so I've been kinda hesitant.
Not that that means it's a bad idea, still.

i often have a hard time telling where the most recent entry is at lmao. Perhaps the most recent entry in the combat log should be in colored text as well to help locating it quickly.

Most recent entry should always be at the bottom.
However, if you're on Firefox, it may not show up properly. I don't remember exactly what it was, but firefox had some issue with the typing text. I think I couldn't change speed or something?

However if people clicked a button before it finished typing, it ended up breaking all of the code, so I had to disable it for Firefox.
On chromium browsers you'll see a rapid typing affect.

In both cases though, the newest content should be the bottom of the window.
I'm not really happy with the battle log though, and if I change it again I may try and find a better way to handle it.

i love her so much. <3

This makes me really happy. ♥

I think she's been the most popular character I get feedback on in this game, actually.
My personal favorite is the abyssal witch.

Well, maybe there's some kind of misunderstanding, 300 is a rough number. It was like 307 or something.

Not until chapter 3.5

By then i've long since maxed everything out tho.
Well, as long as the material-availability allows. But i'll definitely max all succ abilities requiring cum real quick, no problem.
It was done by the time i went after Mr.Ugly in the mountains.

Yeah, I've tried coming up with ideas for this. Like outfits or something. I'm not too sure, but it is extra work to create a seperate version for free players.

I'm not too sure. :/

Why'd you need separate version? Just lock patron exclusives behind a code or something like you did before.

What i mean will go like this:
You make 'exclusive A' for patrons, X months pass, you make 'exclusive B' for patrons while making 'exclusive A' available to the public.
X months pass, you make 'exclusive C' for patrons while making 'exclusive B' available to the public.

And so on. You'd probably need to ensure that people don't leak patron exclusives to the public before it's time for them to go public, but that's just how it goes 'round these parts.
Well, up to you. I think it's worthwhile personally.
Or you could also give it a test-run for a while, see how it'll go and decide based on results.

Eins is way better at adding emotion to lewd scenes than I am, and he writes fantastic scenes.
I've offered to pay him, but he's refused for DG. We have talked about paying him for other games though in the future. I've even suggested the idea of making a game together.

I think you two will make a great team, totally go for it i say!

Yeah, I think one of these updates I need to just spend on filling back content.
I kind of want to go back and redo a lot in my original forest. Though I have no idea what I'd do differently.

I'd suggest trying real hard with beginner locations.
See, the forest and the first town and all that beginner stuff, it is the face of your game.
That stuff is the first thing new players see, and therefore, those locations are the most important places in the entire game.
If you can't impress people there, they may just ditch the game and never look back.

In the future I'll try and do things a bit simpler, though I still want to enjoy the stories I tell.

No need to do it 'simpler,' just try and limit things to what you can comfortably handle on your own.
That said, you can also try and find more people for your projects. Like Eins.

But seriously, I do consider this but I don't want to leave color-blind people out so I've been kinda hesitant.
Not that that means it's a bad idea, still.

For color-blind people you could introduce some kind of sound-based alarm instead.
Call it 'color-blind mode' or something and add it as a toggle to the settings.
Speaking of sound tho, i think your game could use at least some background ambient music.
Well, i likely mentioned this before.

I think I couldn't change speed or something?

It looks like it's instant to me on my fox, so speed is probably not even a thing here.

I'm not really happy with the battle log though, and if I change it again I may try and find a better way to handle it.

There probably already is one, at least for fox users. Maybe crash

There also seem to be plenty of coders contributing to the development of this browser, so they can probably pitch a couple of ideas or otherwise assist.

This makes me really happy. ♥

I think she's been the most popular character I get feedback on in this game, actually.
My personal favorite is the abyssal witch.

Oh speaking of her, yeah, that girl also seem like quite my type.
I only got a glimpse of her so far but i'm intrigued, i really dig all that cosmic stuff.
Wisdom, philosophy, all dem arcane matters that make normies fall asleep in an instant.
For me, these are like candy to a kid.
I think i also have a thing for powerful females, and she seems like she could give a whole horde of "demon gods" a run for their money. Definitely will be looking forward for some not-quite-normal stuff going on between her and our mc.

Why'd you need separate version? Just lock patron exclusives behind a code or something like you did before.

Unless I encrypt the code, it's super easy to find it in the source code. Which is worse because it makes it easier for people to leak the code.

But... I've been considering it for my own sake just because of how much of a pain in the ass it is to handle different versions.

This is the primary reason I've wanted to go back and redo the first dungeon (and town).
My skills have improved and while I've made drastic changes to the early areas, they still show a lot of my early work.

Well, i likely mentioned this before.

Yeah, you've mentioned it before. However I'm limited to unlicensed music and I'm also not the biggest fan of HTML games that auto-play music. Then there's also the fact that it increases the size of the game.

It's still something I'm considering I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. A lot of it is due to the overwhelming amount of work I already try to pack into each update.

It looks like it's instant to me on my fox, so speed is probably not even a thing here.

Yeah if you're on firefox then you don't get the animation, I've disabled it. That might be the cause of your confusion, but it should still automatically be scrolled to the bottom so you see the newest action on the very bottom line.

My wife asked me why I play female characters in character customization games. Told her that I like Femme Fatales.
Most of my games, if they have action, will probably star a female lead.

As to the Abyssal witch, she has and will have a few more scenes, but she's never going to be a major character. She's far too powerful.
What I may end up doing is have her appear in some form in each game I release. A recurring character.

You could introduce currency sinks.
Though not entirely sure how'd you go about sinking cum.. only succubi would be interested in that after all lmao.
Maybe in the future you could create some kind of succubi casino where cum is the currency, with various games and prizes and shit.

Most of my games, if they have action, will probably star a female lead.

I also mostly play female characters if the game lets me.
As for why, multiple reasons. Primary would probably be the fact that male characters just bore me.
I find female perspective far more intriguing.

Hm~ So something like

Also, you really need to go over the text in the game and do various fixes.
There are plenty of mistakes and inconsistencies like this one:

This text doesn't seem to take into account that you may have chosen to not use illusion when entering Elven village.

Though not entirely sure how'd you go about sinking cum..

There are Succubi-like creatures in other cultures.
You'll see, soon.

Used to read Tsubasa like 20ish years ago, never finished it though.Wife and I tried to get into XXX-holic.

However I DO like Clamp, one of my favorite manga from them is Superior and it's 'sequel' Superior X.

Best way for me to find them is when people point them out, thank you.
It's hard for me to catch everything on my own.

Version 0.52 is up on my website. I'll post the changelog when I upload the game in a few days.
