Sorry, from the looks of your message you don't have it, but would anyone have access to that new build? I'm interested to at least know what was added (though I doubt it's enough for a "redemption")

I would implement a top tier shitter update where i throw vergil into the game for shits and giggles, but this game relies on wack ass spawning rules for things so uhhhh. Balls.
Instead i took it upon myself to add vergil in as a texture for players escorting npcs in back stage as a nice way to tell you how
fruitless your efforts will be
Yep he just straight flips you off and cuts off so many textures for some reason, am i going to spend time on figuring out why this happens? Nope, get fucked.
Secondary reasoning is fuck sprite sheets, hate em, can't just import images and assign reference values to them, they need to be on a sprite sheet. Which is aids. If the game didn't use the gamemaker engine which DEMANDS sprite sheets, wouldn't be too difficult to add in custom characters, but since it does you need to work around it. Otherwise it's not that difficult to add in your own custom npcs and stuff.

Oh god i decided to look into the sprite sheets, it's a fucking mess.
No wonder this person's work ethic is so fucking ass his sprite sheets are so unorganized it's actually an achivement to make it this unorganized.
You might be thinking "Joe it can't be that bad right? Like maybe it's just not organized by character right?" haha WRONG.
This is the cleanest sprite sheet i can find in terms of lacking ABDL. If you look. We have sprites from NEARLY THE FIRST DAMN VERSION OF THE GAME
What the fuck is even happening here? We then get the daycare cow WHICH IS WAY LATER DOWN THE DAMN LINE then some normalcy of mordecai and the bunny girl who are in the same update THEN WE JUST GET A RANDOM DAYSCARE SCENE WHICH IS WAY PRIOR TO THE COW WHAT THE SHIT
Why does he make it this fucking confusing and what's worst? IT'S SPRITE SHEET FUCKING 222 OUT OF 247. THAT'S RIGHT THE GAME IS MAKING CALL FOR FUNCTIONS ON AN ENEMY FROM THE FIRST LEVEL OF THE GAME ON A SPRITE SHEET THAT'S NEARLY AT THE FUCKING END OF THE SHEETS, this means the dev is fucking constantly reassigning texture call functions everytime they add a sprite sheet if this is what happens.

I'm genuinely impressed every time we learn more about how the game works.
Case study of how not to make a game.

I know I've been hard on this game but calling DB Yandere Dev is a bridge too far, eh?
Its one thing to have some amateur work in your game, one thing to basically scam people on patreon for thousands a month, but other than that, I dunno that the dev is like, a total POS like Yandere Dev is.

Was looking at the sheet and thinking "wtf is wrong with it?" then i realize it contains enemies from 4 different zone/biomes on one sheet, holy fuck this is nearing yandev's multiple if calls on update.
its a miracle we got some sort of demo product with those kind of data/file organization, what kind of furry magic is this?!
at this point we should just remake happy heart panic and then link the version of that game here so poeple can download and enjoy the few updates or so its gonna get from the community
Not only is it from 4 different zone/biomes, they are almost all from different updates so they have no reason to be grouped up like this.
So if i had to guess, i hope that in this case that doggie actually isn't this disorganized (Wouldn't be shocked if it was the case) and the reason it's this bad is because they actually don't use multiple sprite sheets but one giant one. Now the one giant sprite sheet idea has some ground, multiple sprite sheets have no relation in what they contain, the sprite sheets contain items from the first enemy releases of the game to the cursed ABDL mint.
Now in terms of coding potentially the giant sprite sheet gets uploaded and everything gets broken down from there and assigned but the game engine breaks it down further for easier file read times.
Or doggie could be this disorganized.
Anyways here's the sprite sheet labeled 1
Some of it makes sense as they should be loaded first but then you get enemy sprites that aren't even apart of the same region / updates so perhaps the dev just uses a really oversized sheet and then it gets broken down by the game engine for the release we get. Which hopefully explains how fucked these sheets are. (ABDL has been censored because mint is in that grey area i don't wanna fuck with / am not comfortable with)
Oh my god. I'm getting flashbacks from else ifs from Yandere Simulator.
As for joemancool, you're doing the lord's work with this. Don't stop here, find whatever bs the data is loaded with.
As for Happy Hearts, I suggest you split each stage into it's own pocket game. The upside is that you're not dragging all the files alongside the new content each update and whatever extra bytes that are gained through a dispersed set of games (since there are their own game) are offset of the loads of repetition of the centralized singular game.
From dispersion of stages into separate games, you can update them separately, bypassing Patreon guidelines and allowing a more focused development of the individual sects of each game. And let's be fair, the stage select hub content is so little (as well as money being so useless to the point that an ATM exist) that nobody would actually miss it.

Gotta say, it all feels quite wildly useless. When the game first came out the sidescrolling beat em up style was charming and kinda cool. It was an impressive leap of effort from the previous game. I really wish he woulda just stuck to rpg maker now tbh, an rpg system would have maybe involved less pointless reworks. The combat system feels no more or less clunky than when it started- It just sorta clunks different. In fact I'd say its now just more frustrating to get through an area quickly, especially in the absence of a gallery.
For a glorified interactive smut viewer (since the gameplay is far from fun or unique, you're only here for porn) it sure can be a hassle to go and find a specific scene you want to view, if the enemy is deep into a level, or at the very end.
Does anyone here actually enjoy the gameplay, what little of it there is? Its a bit of a dumb question I guess but some of the games on this site are genuinely fun to play with your pants on.

Not really. Max the Elf has more gameplay variety than this. And that game is on stage 5 despite starting years after HHP.

Odyssey of Gianna is actually a really fun and in depth RPG beyond the fetish mechanics, tbh. It's not impossible to make a fun game, I wouldn't say it's necessary to make your fet game fun, but like... is Doggie really under the impression that this cheap beat em up needs to be mechanically deep or fun? I think everyone plays this game and his previous game for the artwork and animations, which are admittedly good stuff- It's part of why I have zero faith in you guys to make updates for the game lmao, I doubt you guys would be able to make sprites and animations that mesh with the artstyle, this stuff doesn't seem easy at all.
I know there are more, better smut games out there, but the main reason I downloaded was for the abdl stuff (because the animations and stuff are really good looking) and unfortunately I can't think of many other good games with it
You can follow RimeTheVixen's games. He might be of an interest for you
Thank you, but do you have a specific recommendation? (Or were you thinking of a specific game)
he recently came back, but no progress reported for any game afaik.
The old version was enjoyable, with the unique weapons and such but now it is barely carried by the qwirky weapons.

I feel this picture best summarizes my experience with trying to get something into the game that wasn't originally there.
