Others Completed Future Fragments [v1.0.1] [HentaiWriter]

[HentaiWriter]

I think the solution is just to not buy porn games on steam.

There are other options, yeah?

True, but we also need our game up there given that Steam's userbase and the profits from Steam are probably 4 or 5 times higher than every other sales site combined for games, so it's really, really important you get your game up there if you're a dev.

If we make a lot of money, that'll enable us to do a lot more stuff with the sequel and future games, versus the game flopping and we don't get much money, which means development time will take a lot longer/we'll be limited on things because we'll have to budget how much we can spend each month on things like SFX, music, voicework, translations, etc.

Anyone who buys a game can simply opt out of the game's badge(s) by not crafting the trading cards they automatically receive from playing. The feature badge option I described earlier is something the user selects by their own volition. Owners of the game can also hide achievements for it, or ownership of the game entirely; Steam implemented that option around the same time they began selling porn games for obvious reasons. You can even hide it from "Recently played" or "Now playing".

One of the issues with this though is that it's an opt out feature; the minute someone plays FF, gets 10 minutes in and gets an achievement, they're likely to freak out and slam the "refund" button because they can't figure out how to disable achievements and it's just popped up on all their friend's feeds that they just got an achievement for a porn game.

That, and it might make it kind of redundant that the game has built-in achievements, but we'll see, it might be something we enable down the road.

"Future Fragments" as a name or logo doesn't scream porn game to me. The three girls on the cover art were clearly drawn to be attractive, but they still don't look like blatant porn game characters. That's just my take though.

I won't deny I'm trying to persuade you and your team to do more with Steam because I like profile backgrounds, badges and stuff. Yet at the same time I think anybody who's self-conscious about owning or playing a porn game can figure out how to hide it on their Steam profile with

I just don't feel like it's an issue, especially since FF looks like (and from what I've played, is) an actual video game.

Better "Future fragments" than some cringey shit like Fuckture Fuckments. Honestly, can't handle cringeworthy game names.

It is an actual video game, we definitely are promoting it as that, don't get me wrong; that said, when you go to the Steam page, we're also trying to sell the sexuality part of it because it *is* an aspect of it, which is why there is NSFW art right on the front of the Steam page.

But yeah, I mean, we'll definitely look into it more and consider it, I just can't make any promises yet

[godlike123]

A changelog for v0.46 would be much appreciated.

 

[zensei]

A changelog for v0.46 would be much appreciated.

When you open the game, it shows the changes...

A changelog for v0.46 would be much appreciated.

As a reminder, v0.46 and other non v0.27P demos are tech demos basically, so there isn't a ton of stuff to do in them, but here's the changelog;

Anyone getting advpack.dll error when opening .exe file???

Anyone getting advpack.dll error when opening .exe file???

What operating system are you on?

In either case, one of the most straightforward solutions is to;
1) Disable any anti-virus software you have
2) Right click on the .exe and pick to unzip it to a directory of your choice
3) Run the "Future_Fragments_ElectricDemo.exe" file in this new directory.

The game should now boot; if it still doesn't, let us know.

In the future, we'll have an installer that will fix these issues; currently, most of them are caused by the .exe unzipping its files to a temporary directory to run the game, and then deleting those temporary run-time files after you close the game.

We don't have installers for the demos because we want to prevent generating false bug reports by people installing/stacking 20+ versions of the game on their computer, as well as not making players go through and screw up their registry possibly by making them install 20+ versions with the monthly demos being so high in number now.

Came for the pixel defeat-Rape scenes... stayed for Megaman nostalgia xD

Also, thanks for the review Rain01 , much appreciated
Kinda unfortunate that right after it we got a review with false statements in it by someone who didn't bother to read the thread or look up anything on the game at all (we've put out 50+ h-scenes in the past 3 years and tons of other content on top of that with demos almost every month), but you get the good with the bad I guess.

I just noticed it doesn't work on 64 bit

64 bit windows? What version?
And what version of the game are you trying to play?

 

[Khaitoh]

I just noticed it doesn't work on 64 bit

It’s working with mine though, both of them does, though I haven’t downloaded the latest one. I’m running on 64 bit.

But as Game Dev said...Please specify your PC specs as clear as possible (OS should be sufficient, but some games may also cause error based on Graphics Card and/or CPU) and which one are you playing (or both) and which site you used for downloading...

Also error message if there was any...

You could try and implement some sort of option right at the beginning of the game before the main menu even starts to disable achievements, an option that would ask you if you want to get achievements or not, you also said you will advertise the sexual parts, so anyone who buys this game will know what they're getting into and they will either not care and buy it anyway or use an alternate account to buy it. Also Steam hides game activity by default, including achievements.
Also, and this is just personal opinions, but I am more ashamed of people with 5000 hours in a crappy korean mmo than people playing a well made platformer with some sexy bits in it.

My bad, I'm trying to run the first .exe file instead of extracting it. It works now

Got a survey for everyone here to take; please let us know how you feel about these things!

Didn't know the latter thing, and the former thing's a good idea, we'll look into those!

Glad you got it to work!
