Honestly, I feel kinda sad about fobs. I dont know if you've been following zell for a long time but I remember when he first made the earlier versions of Shiro no Yakata he proceeded to change the horror experience for a Succubus Affection kind of gameplay, eliminating the horror (I mean, the recent demos are not even scary, the earlier ones put you on stress and suspense at least)

What I really miss the most is Fobs. I love Sucubbus Affection and I know that he is making the sequel with the developer of the first one, but he even dropped the remaster he was doing of the original Forest of the blue skin. I loved the demos he launched, but it's been almost a year without fobs update, so I guess we are not getting it soon. Who knows, maybe he has been cooking the whole time and launches fobs remaster the next year. But with Tower of Shiratane, considering is a short story and we know almost nothing about the story mode, with the game being more of a gallery type, I'd give it another 6 months to actually getting to something good.

From what I understand the way he does things, he's got a priority list of what he's working on. I think it's shiro no yakata, or at least that's what I would assume since he's been giving demos of that constantly. Then it's succubus affection 2, I think fobs might be completely in the back burner atm, it was something he intially did for free in his own time. I think it was also moreso a way for him to practice game developing.

thanks for clarifying. From what I've read from his twitter account, the game he's doing right now is Tower of Shiratane, and Shiro no Yakata is a different game. Might be the other way around too, idk. Then, comes Succubus Affection 2, and that one's going well from what I've seen on the developer's ci-en. So yeah, fobs is until proven wrong, dead :(

I would view it more as on hiatus for the time being. Fobs was once again what he was originally doing just because, I'd hope that he'd understand that people became attached to it, and once he's doing all the other stuff he's working on. He would bring it back in some capacity.

Plus to have to realize that FOBS was a passion project that was done in his free time. Now he's getting actually paid to do games. Fobs helped him build up an audience, then he did succubus affection, which was his first paid project. I think he had some fan-box stuff (pixiv fanbox/ci-en), which was paid, but it wasn't as much content as when he started doing succubus affection and demo stuff for early shiro no yakata.

You need to unzip both Zip files
View attachment 3216991 => View attachment 3216993
Then in a common folder you must have these two files
View attachment 3216995
View attachment 3216996
Once done, you can launch the decompression folder to have the game

View attachment 3216997
then, after having done all these steps (two) you can unzip the game without worries

I seem to be getting a strange error when I try to run the game, any tips to fix this?

This game is abandoned? What game is the developer working on then?

Fobs is probably not ongoing since, as they said on the thread, he used fobs to practice his skills and in his free time. Now that he is getting paid for his work, he is working on "Shiro no Yakata" and "Tower of Shiranate" (he said on twitter that they are different games) and on Sucubbus Affection 2. Just days ago the developer of SA2 posted on ci-en that he expects the game to be released on 2024

Gotcha, I always assumed Shiro no Yakata was some type of prototype of FOBS considering the versions of it I could get my hands on. Thanks for the update friend

Uploading a small and probably ditched project zell23 was working on around the same time his first versions of FOBS were finished. It's a fighting game of sorts, you play it entirely with the mouse and it was built on flash when that still worked. There's not a whole lot to it, you can't even win or lose in it, but the framework that's there seems pretty great.

Not sure where else to put it since it's a very old and forgotten project, but if it's uploaded here at the very least it's preserved and available for people to easily play again. And again, bear in mind it's a flash .swf file so it won't work if you don't have flash player.

So as I understand it, there's this game (no combat) which is developed just by zell23. Currently mostly just a gallery, some hints at gameplay.

There's also a game developed with Ansala, who they made Succubus Affection with, and there's ongoing posts about it here:

I've seen a few gifs on ULMF, and understand there was a demo a few (years?) back, but haven't seen much since.

Anyone seen anything more, or know how development of that game is going?
