Some things of note for your guide.
I don't see any intercourse bar with either the mush girls or the mushrooms. (they really need to be renamed)
Also the smaller ones cannot be captured, as well as harpies, bees and that new enemy Fenrir.
In addition the slime wall can also deal damage if an enemy stands in it or runs through it.

P.S. I love your PFP, Darkest Dungeon

Do I spot a fellow fanatic?

For some reason, I have not been getting notifications for being mentioned. But anyway, danke. I'll look into some of this myself, but honestly, I think I may need to start splitting the guide into two sections. One for combat and items, another for captures and achievements. (You do seem to be here very often, so if you could somehow help with that whole sorting process, it would be greatly appreciated.)

Also, additional note for anyone using the February build, the controls might be a bit botched. Either that or my controls fucked up somewhere within the downloading process. Either way, these are the controls as they should be, as listed in the controls menu.

(I should note though, X is not used for jump normally. Space is. But I find X to be far more comfortable and intuitive for me personally.)

(To that same end, it should also be noted that Shift is normally the button for masturbation, but I use E because, again, it feels better.)

To change your controls, press Settings --> Operation Settings --> Select Input Device --> Keyboard and Mouse, then click on any of the inputs listed to remap them.

Isn't it funny how I recently just start a new game of FOBS just to go and look for Version B and see someone say there's a F95 page for it AND that there's a total rework of the game on a new engine?

Shit's gotta be a coincidence that the day I found this page(I found it yesterday lol) people were talking about a new version being released 50 minutes prior.

Edit: Didn't even realize this was my first post and got an award for it lol.

Gotta love happy little accidents.

 

[TheEmpireDidNothingWrong]

does anyone know how to get your january build save in the feb one? its kinda annoying to restart each time a new build comes out

edit: you can accidentally corrupt your save file , don't hit f5 when you are defeated

 

[Nangatai]

...I recently just start a new game of FOBS just to go and look for Version B-

Just asking, but how do I wake the centaur girl? I already used the search to see a bunch of other posts from years ago but none of them work.
Hitting the apples does nothing, and I don't see a way to get to the area wherever that hole above the centaur leads to.

I feel like I broke the game or something by cheesing the gas room and just running through it lol

Edit: Nevermind I'm a dumbass lmao
If anyone also has this question, just make your way through until you get to the area above the salamander fight, and head left instead of right. Didn't realize that there would be an area to jump to from there after I beat them.

I mean I haven't played in a while but I'm planning to come back.
Can't wait to start the sequel once I get through the first!

But anyway, danke. I'll look into some of this myself, but honestly, I think I may need to start splitting the guide into two sections.

Are you perhaps German or why did say danke like that?
Also I never used google stuff so I can't help with anything other then gathering info for you.

(I should note though, X is not used for jump normally. Space is. But I find X to be far more comfortable and intuitive for me personally.)
(To that same end, it should also be noted that Shift is normally the button for masturbation, but I use E because, again, it feels better.)

That's odd.
I didn't change nothing yet my S is for masturbation and shift is for dashing.
Spacebar stayed as jumping tho.

It's even been out for 10 months now slowly building up.
Last month was the release of the first build so we are finally out of the debug phase.
Before that they were working on animations for a horror themed game but it is just a huge gallery that monthly got a new scene.
Also; Welcome to the community!

 

[MrNice88]

I mean, I guess that's progress lol? Two new enemies isn't really a high water mark for me, but I guess it might be considering how slow Zell typically is. There were a butt-ton in Succubus Affection and his horror game. 2 doesn't really seem like something to scream about to me.

To be fair Zell is working on FOBS alone, and the programming isn't his forte. So it's not too surprising if things take a bit longer. SA and the horror game have Ansala working on them as well so Zell could focus purely on animation.
But from my recollection with the horror game demos, we were only getting one or two new characters each month.
IMO progress is quite similar in that regard probably even quicker with FOBS as he's tackling level design etc.. at the same time.

I've never done any work on games or animation so I can't really judge how long it takes, I don't know what it involves.

Tho from what I heard “Zell“ consists of 2 different person, not only one (one responsible for pixel-art and animation and the other all coding and polish).

 

[TheLoliRealm]

This has never been the case, zell is 1 person.

Fair enough. Google apps are super strange if you're not used to them already, and even then they can still be confusing, so that makes perfect sense. Also, I'm not German, but ever since I started taking German classes, I have had a tendency to swap between German and English for small words and phrases. Not really sure why. Probably just a weird habit that I don't feel like breaking.

That's odd.
I didn't change nothing yet my S is for masturbation and shift is for dashing.

I think Zell might've been messing around with the controls a bit to see what works for most people and what doesn't. Whatever the case, it's luckily not too difficult to adjust if needed.

I think I know what you're talking about, and you may have misunderstood it slightly. Zell is one person, but did collaborate on another project with someone else, being in charge of the pixel art and animations like you said while the other party was in charge of coding and polish. This was done precisely because Zell knew they were not the best at coding yet.

 

[Supreme Dumbass of Thyme]

most of them just give small stat buffs far as i've found so far(i'm missing like 6 of them in my save atm though) you can make it show the description text for them instead of a blank square by setting the player to Japanese(Settings>Game screen top left) and the ingame language setting to English

Just bumping this real quick, because it looks like some of the items from the last build can be equipped now. And because of this, you can tell what they actually do. I'm kinda mad at myself for taking this long to test it-

I did a little more testing, and I am now so, SO mad at myself. Changing the language to Japanese through the Game Maker Engine then changing the in-game language to English makes everything make SO much more sense. Game Maker did not do the work that Zell put into this justice whatsoever.

EDIT: Here are some examples outside of the menus, so it doesn't seem like I'm rambling mindlessly.

Is there a way to change controls because my attack is d, my skill is s and a is dash. my jump also got changed to x from space bar.

To change your controls, press Settings --> Operation Settings --> Select Input Device --> Keyboard and Mouse, then click on any of the inputs listed to remap them.

When in doubt, scroll or search.

Anyone figure out how to cap the goblins yet?
They got a hint thing in the achievements section, so im assuming theyre capturable. Theres also doubles of some of the monsters but with different hint images, so im wondering if those have things that can be done too...

Also does anyone have any idea what items do?

if you mean the thinner orcs that throw axes, you beat them in the "bossfight" just before you get the ancient coin, then when going back through the room full of tents enter the first on the left, and you'll trigger an H-Event with two of them, after the event there will be a capturable one
