Here's my crunched version.

Image/audio/video quality is reduced to make shit smaller. This is not a perfect process and sometimes can break a game. You've been warned so no bitching.

The wonders of compression.

And even more wonderful when we talk about lossy compression.


We already compress as we can the PNG but at one point we will start to use webP, even losslessly it will drastically reduce the size of the game.


Turns out that piling up images update after update leads to some serious file size in the end.
Who would have thought ?

That's what I said. i dont like the hair and skin color change in the game, there should be an option but I like the body chnages
Do you realize what that kind of option would mean ?

Don't take that as an hostile question. If you don't know what that would imply, I'll try to depict the massive amount of work that represents.

I don't really need it, it's just that i like playing with the wlakthrough on the side so i can't get stuck if i'm bad ^^
Ok I understand.

Well in DD I would say the biggest issue for you would be to not know if you achieved everything or not.

We are trying to improve the game everywhere we can, but it's quite rare we take time to make a pass at old content as there is as there is still a need for much more content.

The game is already 2 years old of almost constant monthly updates and yet we barely have 1 story ending (a little too on the shotgun ending for my taste) ans a side ending.

So we only make improvements on old content when there is too much imbalance or even continuity issues with the more recent one.

But on my end I'm still regularly trying to make changes on the UI trying to improve the user experience when I got a clear enough idea of how it should be.

Wow, good thing you didn't mistake my question as hostile.
I would have a contract on my head otherwise.

Are you using a save from version 0.38.2 ?

A suggestion: How about adding anoter layer of numbers next to the serum quantity to know how many ingredientes do you have for each serum.

@Finsit : I discovered your game about one year ago, and really love it. I just wanted to post something here to give you some heartening. Indeed, it seems that too many members here don't agree with the fetishes in your game and try to force their point of view to make you change what is present in Deviant Discoveries".
Thus, it is too often that I read "Oh please, I don't like how the girls turn out" or "Please no NTR because I don't want to share my girl, blah blah blah".

Please, don't listen to these people. For you see, I'm glad that your game has really something specific and personal, something that you don't encounter in the 7896 other games on patreons/this board.
As for me, I really love the extreme transformation. There are too many games where the corruption isn't showing in the girls' body modification and fashion tastes. If a nerd is brainwashed and corrupted to become a bimbo slut, I love to imagine how extreme she will be at the end with fake big boobs, platinum hair, and perverse clothing. And of course, I love it when there are multiple steps, progressive, to really see these transformations "in live".
And in fact, to be frank, I wouldn't be against one more step in the transformation of the current characters in your game. :)

And one other thing I really love in your game is that each one of the girl serves specific fetishes. Chrystal become a punk, the dean a latina/gangsta bimbo, Yuki a pet following japanese fetishes, Harley a goth girl forced into a submissive slave, Lola either a camgirl or a prostitute, and Luna a dominatrix. And more than that, we have a black girl, an asian one, a latine... Really, I love this diversity !

That being said, I'd like to share some ideas/questions about the future updates in Deviant Discoveries.
And I insist : they are IDEAS. It means that I don't want to force my fetishes, my desires, onto your game. I just want to share some of them in case they inspire you.

------------

1) First, I know it would be a huge work for you, but as Lola has two paths ahead of her given which potion the player chooses, do you plan to do the same with the other characters ? For example, Chrystal currently takes the potion that make her body modified, but I'd like to see a path where she takes, just like Lola, the potion that makes her uncontrollable with lust, and thus turning into a prostitute.

2) Here is something that, I think, could work for the new character introduced in the last version (Alice).
As she is older than the other characters, maybe the player could trick her into trying some of his potions, telling her that they are new cosmetic products that will make her younger than she looks in no time. In fact it would work... but too well. Alice would progressively transform into a younger version of herself. That would mean she would slowly turn into a high school student (16 years old... or a bit younger if you want to take the risk). And in fact, it would be an "reversed transformation" : her big tits would become small, her face more round and juvenile, her legs slender... She could even wears braces on her teeth.
It would also bring the "lolita fetish", which is currently absent in your game. As Alice becomes younger, her brain's intelligence would also go back in time... and faster than her body. So, even if Alice would look like a 16 years old girl, she would act like a younger girl who has no clue about sex and about what is acceptable or not in the way she dresses herself. It would kill two birds with one stone : the player could not only turn her into her slave, but making her forget about her adult life could prevent her to stick her nose into the labo (because, currently, Alice is way too curious about the players whereabouts and sounds like a spy).

3) Here is another transformation idea. Maybe we can imagine that an activist fighting about "natural beauty" for the women will try to stand in the player's way as she would see how he pushes girls into modifying ttheir bodies. She would be against cosmetics, against lipstick, against sexy/perverse clothes that turn women into objects, etc etc...
Wouldn't it be hot to imagine the player turning her into a "suicide girl", addicted with tattoos, rings, piercings on her tongue/lips/nose/ears/nipple/pussy, and going for permanent makeup ? ;)

4) Some questions about future update that you might be, maybe, planning :
- Will you add pregnancy with some characters ? I'd kill for a christian biggot married woman, cursing you for having sex before marriage, who in the final steps of her transformation would beg you to make her pregnant while filming the event, sending the film to her husband, and finally become a porn directir recruiting young girls for her movies. :)
- Do you plan to add some "really magical" transformations (like a girl becoming a furry, for example ? Something that could work with Yuki, in fact...)
- Do you plan to add some incest ?
- Will you add some ethnic changes ? For example, choose to turn a white girl into a black girl, or vice-versa ?

--------------


That's all. I really hope to see some more of your game, and am disappointed that he doesn't have much more recognition.
Keep up the good work, and thank you !

@youpla Thanks, but you should probably address more to @Janthespider since that's him who make the content, I just put them into computery words.

Sorry for not replying earlier, but I would have spilled the bean by answering your question. I'm not very good at information retention in the heat of the sub-hour reply.
Now that 10 days passed, it's much more safer.

An a tip about submitting idea to Jan, be sure he will take them. But the true corruption in this game is how he is able to take one idea and twist it into something absurdly different.



Anyway, I was there to announce that I will be streaming sometime from Thursday afternoon to Sunday. I don't know yet when, it will depends of my sleep need, I may also do multiple stream.
As we are getting close to a release it will be possible to catch a glimpse of the upcoming content.



I will also point that we changed our release policy. Now the major versions will be released publicly 2 weeks after being released for patrons.
And any subsequent minor versions and patches will be available directly once the major version exclusivity timeout.
