Others - Hard Stuck [v0.12] [floppystack]

Rating this 5 stars for what's available at the moment. The content isn't massive, and I would like to see an eventual remodel of the kobolds and/or goblins in the far distant future; but for what the creator has released as an early concept it's impressive to someone like me who finds a lot of 3D content to be sloppy and usually lacking in style or coherency.

The simple ascii dungeon roguelike gameplay works on a mechanical level; there's not many floors to explore so losing and restarting isn't really a problem. With the new update that adds minotaurs, there's a good reason to ignore fighting enemies and just run away to get to the next floor.

Pros -
From what I gather character models and animations are all custom, which means there isn't a hodge podge of art that takes you out of the game.

Female protagonist is niche and unique. I see a few people wanting her to be muscular or thinner but she's perfect in terms of the, "nerdy trope."

The creator seems to have a schedule of releasing updates every 2-3 months with new content.

Cons -
As said, Goblins and Kobolds could probably do with a rework to match the style of Fishmen and Minotaurs. Kobolds aren't that bad, though.

Animations are quick, and there's no gallery at the moment. My suggestion, have the animation be a clip (which I think it already is) where you can go through your usual automated sequence where it plays out, or where you select the sex scene and the speed.

Overall-
I hope to see the dev finish this project, where they don't go through the typical 4 year project that gets abandoned either because the dev finds a job in the industry or burns out/wants to work on something new.

Extremely promising! Near-perfect art style and animation for what's available so far, and enjoyable rogue-like gameplay with a variety of interesting directions for it to develop in!

Personally a fan of female protags, and the thicc nerd aesthetic of this one is a big plus. Rounded, smooth animations that *both* parties are really enjoying is also very much to my preferences!

Great game! Amazing animations! One of the best 3d games on here animation-wise. The gameplay is good, but needs more content. Controlling the game with mouse would be great as well for "immersive" playthroughs

Great game! The animations are impressive, but I wish they were a bit longer. Maybe a way to manually advance the animations or something like that. Overall, this game has the potential to be something special, with more content. I’m looking forward to the next update!

While the game is at an early demo level of content, what is here is amazing. Good little iso-3d rogue clone with all the basic combat mechanics set up and a decent addition of some H mechanics with a cute 3D character and animations. It's going to need a lot more of H mechanics and scenes as development continues, but off to a strong start.

Gonna preface this with saying I love the art style and the MC design.

Really fun game for killing some time. It's pretty fun as is but i think we can push the h scenes more. Like adding 1 or 2 variation for each enemy type. Also noticed enemies have hearts on them when your armor breaks. This should result in either a gameplay change or potentially breakable h-scene from taking damage if not both (like a protagonist orgasm gauge with rolls and buffs/debuffs associated). and IMO cum gauge should either be doubled with a debuff at high gauge or increase the rate it fills and filling it applies a stacking debuff the eventually leads to game over instead or the current mechanic (currently it feels like a corruption end that happens too quickly, but that's totally okay considering the amount of content and stage in development this game is in. Really the H scenes are completely optional with only negative effects outside of identifying and procing succubus items and stalling out enemy attacks).

Long story short... I like it and want more Gameplay good, wish the H content was a bit more complicated and involved in core gameplay.

Unfortunately, the game is unplayable because you cannot move outside pressing the end key to auto play the game. The movement keys are supposed to be WASD and the directional keys but those only adjust camera. Also the protagonist has weird lag animations when coming through the TV, even while standing still her arm sway is laggy and not smooth. Until the game is playable I cannot recommend even trying the game since movement is broken and autoplay is the only option.

A pretty good baseline for a game as is!

It's got a fun gameloop, really well animated H-content and a simple enough premise with a cute protagonist.

This does feel like a vertical slice/demo but its a really good one that feels like a proper foundation for a game.

I think the only thing I would recommend adding is more H-mechanics so enemies can inflict H-scenes/cum-gauge filling attacks instead of direct attacks, especially if your health is lower and more of the protagonists skin is showing. That way cum isn't an always opt-in enemy stun that costs what is effectively a 3rd gauge of HP (with the 2nd being a the Hunger/"Calories" gauge").
If there is a mechanic like this in the demo, then I must've completely missed it. D:

My own recommendations/preferences aside, this game's really solid and I hope to see more from Floppystack!

Excellent Change of Pace from boring HTML. Don't let "3D" fool you, very well animated h-scenes (with multiple camera angles!) that is just the cherry on top of an actually fun game.
Bit too heavy on luck factor as v0.1, but this is a game you want to save. Let's all show support so this potential goldmine doesn't strike out early.

It is hard to have hope anymore in this industry, considering how utterly flooded the market is with pre-alphas and other barebone prototypes that never go anywhere. This one, however, feels like it might buck the trend.

Made on Godot, which is an engine that has gained quite a bit of traction lately, Hard Stuck is a throwback to the original Rogue in ways that are not often seen in other modern roguelikes. While it’s nowhere near as complex as, say, Nethack or DCSS, the gameplay loop is still more or less the same; traverse a procedurally-generated dungeon floor by floor, picking up unidentified goods and gear along the way as you race against the ever-present clock that is your hunger meter. The h-content meshes with how rings work in this game, as their effects won’t trigger until you let a monster have their way with you. Unfortunately, while the h-animations are nicely done, they are very short, cannot be looped, and there’s no gallery available at the moment to view them at your leisure. I’m sure these issues will be rectified if the game continues being worked on.

The demo is free, and it provides enough of a vertical slice to show that the dev, whoever it may be, seems to know what they’re doing. It might just be stellar one day, but for now I think it's reasonable to be cautiously optimistic about its future.

This is one of those unique games where you come for H content but stay for the gameplay (the H is still great here tho).
Well done and good luck with this - take it to Steam and I'll be buying it right away.

Damn this is a promising release.

Hard stuck is a take on the classic roguelike game. And when I say classic I MEAN classic. We're talking old school gaming days where the games were done by text with very limit graphics. You move a plain in 4 directions where each action you move and monsters move also. You explore the floors for the next floor stairs. Meanwhile you pick up items, gear, and fight monsters with pointing and clicking. Overall its bare bones and difficult right now, but for the most part its got very good potential.

Story is.... nonexistent. Girl pops out of tv and just starts. This means there's no tutorials. Given its a first release I can pass on judging that too harshly. We don't even really need a story to be fair. But no tutorial to explain the game would be nice. Or some kind of "whats going on" intro paragraph.

And now on the meat. And when I say meat I mean MEAT. The MC is a nerdy girl thats on the chubby side. Think Mei from overwatch. Now some may be turned off from this but I personally think its great. Good unique character with unique models and animations. You specifically target the monsters for sex and the animations again I'll say are incredible. A bit goofy but damn. I am impressed by the dev doing this all in the Godot engine.

Right now there's like 4 monster animations and one tentacle animation from finding a specific item. First release like I said. But its all there. It distinguishes itself from the rest, has an interesting gameplay loop, and already starts off strong showing how good they can model and animate which is very important for good porn games.

4/5. There's a bug right now if you fill up your cum meter and there's really nothing else with the game. But I'll be watching it closely.

Loved this game. Despite minor bugs and some crashes, this one has a great potential, as it first release. I clearly see, that the dev took inspiration form old Rouge games. If there could be realised as many as original Rouge mechanics has, this game should be on the TOP of must play ero-games!

Apart from getting stuck in a blackscreen from time to time the game looks fantastic so far.
I rly love the art and the simplicity of the game without missing out on being a proper dungoen crawler.
More content and bit more development and the game will be one of the best here

ok been playing for a hot minute and so far its a super fun roguelike monster fucker. controls are a lil weird BUT easily worked with.
Maybe next update we will get more bodily curses like body mods with buffs and debuffs, pregnancy, and more. theres a lot of potential here.
Maybe a character customizer too
