nice idea for new gallery but what if her clothing had durability and after some damage it disappears,how aboat lust meter when it gets full she masterbates, and can we have 1 more weapon choice (im not arguing about the combat It Is pretty wellmade) mabye a fire blaster or energy beam
I extremely love clothe durability and how many different scenes (if you will) are so much more because of it. imo I think it's kinda too late for FF to have such a thing since the maximum deadline is super early next year. You'd have to redraw, rework the code, and a bunch of other stuff I'm sure. Lust meter is great but she's not really exposed but even if we did have the clothe thing there wouldn't be much for her to get excited about. Especially since she's on a mission and Vie watches her constantly (after you met her ofc) but regardless I do enjoy lust meters also. And the other weapons are her 'A/S' button and charge your regular attack. Sure it's not the same but it's not like wizard who controls a ton of magic skills.

I remember reading about it before but I've forgotten.
What is 'egomaniac mode' exactly, and how is it planned to be triggered?
Basically it's a mode where you would have to pick up, and keep one of the "negative" powerups through the end of the first level; if you do, without spoiling plot reasons, Talia gets a significant personality change that only becomes exacerbated by each subsequent level you hold that powerup in.

This changes her personality in cutscenes, changes boss fights slightly, and changes the endings entirely.

Think of it like "genocide mode" in Undertale, basically.

Unfortunately there's reasons we can't do any of these;
  • For the durability on clothing, Triangulate hand-animates everything in the game, so for him to even do one clothing variation, it would mean he'd have to redo thousands of frames of animation by hand; this is why the "nude Talia" goal is set so high as a result. (There's also all the cutscene interactions that would have to change, too.)
  • For Talia having a lust meter, that would also make cutscenes need to be changed (would be odd if she was at full lust and then suddenly was perfectly coherent while talking to someone else, then went back to being lustful); it also doesn't fit her character too much to have her masturbate in the middle of her mission, as she's laser-focused on getting her mission done ASAP.
  • For the weapon choices, the powerups serve that purpose; in later builds when we've got all 50 powerups in, you'll have at least 5-10 different weapon choices effectively, from a spread shot, to shots that get bigger, and so on. You've also got the 4 elemental charge shots which have very different effects, and the 4 utility abilities, too.
Still happy to hear you like the game, though!

i dont want to be annoying but can you put the links back on
some people cant afford the patreon

i live in iran /: and we have the lowest currency in whole planet and we are banned by visa .paypal and etc And supporting in patreon is impossible and very expensive 1dolor = 8toman (the real value of toman/: )
Not sure what you mean about putting the links back on; I haven't taken down or disabled any links, are they not working?

I heard about Future Fragments quite a bit in the past and kind of just kept it at the back of my mind. I love metroidvanias and all that good shit. And since we're here it should be obvious but I like porn too.

Generally speaking though, I tend to not mix the two, because, I don't like a h game requiring my full "gaming attention" and both of my hands... for reasons.

I do try these games once in a while, and I tried this today. And I absolutely fucking love it. It's not just an ok sidescroller with some erotic animations. It's a great metroidvania with ... some erotic animations. As far as I've seen, anyway. I know there's more like full on sex scenes with artworks and a lot of promisse. Didn't get through the end of the demo. Because for some reason I can't move the character well with my controller and playing these games on a keyboard kils me inside.

I like the voice acting. Everything is really good quality from the graphics to the animations. If that demo of level 3 is anything to go by the levels are gonna be huge, which would be ok, if running the risk of getting tedious but it's also packed with stuff. And boy do I love "stuff". I helped a robot, I talked to a fellow rebel scum, I saw a girl in a locked room (maybe a cell) which I think is that rival girl they talked about in the tutorial.

There's definitely content here, and good content, not just filler or the same shit repeated. Lots of text and dialogue too. Which is fine. I skipped some of it honestly. But I do like my stories so I'm happy it's there.

Glad to hear you liked it so much! :D

For the controller though, what you might want to try is any of the following;
- If you have a second controller or any other similar peripheral plugged in, close the game, unplug it so only your controller remains, then turn the game back on
- If you're using anything but a Microsoft/Xbox controller, that might be an issue, as we don't have full 100% support for Playstation/Switch controllers in a PC yet (but we will eventually!)
- If you're emulating the game on Linux or OSx, that also might cause some controller issues
- Finally, make sure you're using the left analog stick to move instead of the right; the game is configured to make her move with that one, using the right analog won't work properly for movement in most cases.

You can also reconfigure any of the controls by pressing ESC and going to the controls menu on the right (the gear icon) :) hopefully one of those fixes it!

Good call. I unplugged my second controller and it works perfectly now. Thanks.

So Patreon (reportedly) moved their bank to the UK, causing a wave of "fraud" posts all over Patreon for American pledgers. More info is available here;

Because of this, unfortunately, a LOT of people's pledges are declining this month, and it's due to Patreon's error.

So if your pledge didn't go through this month, please try any of the following to fix things;

1) Update your credit card to a different card
2) Use PayPal if you aren't already
3) Probably the easiest solution, contact your bank to let them know the Patreon charges aren't fraudulent; this should be a one time thing

Once you've done any of those, just re-pledge at the same amount this month (if the pledge goes through successfully, you won't be double charged, don't worry, and if you are somehow, contact me and I'll refund you).

Sorry about all this, but hopefully this should only be a one time thing as Patreon switches to a new bank setup.

Thanks for understanding, and thanks for helping us out with this; your support is entirely the reason we can keep our games going upload_2018-8-2_12-59-33.gif :D

If Patreon moved their bank and didn't reach out to all of their users' most common creditors in advance, then this is a massive failure on their part. They can't really not have a data scientist on their business intelligence team, can they? Anyone who's ever played around with, let alone written, a classification algorithm should be able to predict a "recurring" charge from a new country would risk triggering rejections.

Ikr, it's such a sleazy thing too.

I firmly believe they only now put out an "apology" because of the masses. I don't think they would have told otherwise.

I wanted to know, if there is going to be a way to increase the energy regeneration except of 1 or 2 pick ups. Since all abilities at the moment are very vital for platforming, waiting for the energy to be recharged enough for a use of for instance the electrical jump can get quite tedious. It is even worse for the ice shot, since t can be very easy to miss moving targets to use them as platforms.

Another thing I wanted to know, is it intentional that the game over cgs look so pixely as if a small image was simply enlarged without smoothing up the edges? The cgs are in my opinion too good to be looking that rough.

Meh i wish I was better with words to give a better explanation.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a public demo supposed to come out soonish, or is the next public demo on game release?

The next public demos is on game completion, yep, but there will still continue to be monthly demos for $5 and up backers on Patreon :)

You might be mistaking this for one of the other games I'm working on, where there IS a public demo coming out for those two (Eroding Ego and Reclaim Reality) later in August/early September.

As you noted, there's a powerup or two that increases it, but besides that, there isn't, and that's because every area of the game besides the Fragment areas and a secret area or two is intended to be navigated without even using any of the utility abilities.

You can use them if you want, but they're more for "traverse area faster" or "get out of jail free card when enemy is about to hit you" than "required to navigate a level".

You might have gotten the wrong idea from the earlier Earth Level demos, which are all tech demos and intended to show new assets/abilities of enemies/Talia as we get them into the game; in the actual level, there won't be any required usage of utility abilities besides the ones I just mentioned.

The reason why we have the charge rate as setup as we do though is because we want them to be used for that above intent, and in previous demos where it was faster, people just simply spammed fire dash to ignore all enemies, or ice shot to freeze all enemies and never dealt with anything all level long, etc.

Another thing I wanted to know, is it intentional that the game over cgs look so pixely as if a small image was simply enlarged without smoothing up the edges?
This is actually exactly what we did; the game over CGs are natively 640 x 360, then double-sized in-game.

Dunno if you have one yet, but i think a changelog would be appreciated, if/when you make one.

We put changelogs at the start of every monthly demo :) I usually post them here, but this month was a lot of behind the scenes stuff, programming work etc

So this month was just one new game over sequence and getting all the enemy attacks in, lots of pathfinding AI stuff and other complex attacks, basically.

Is there a link floating around containing the ice level V 0.17? Johnny-come-lately here but I have to admit that this game is gold.
