Others Hard Stuck [v0.3 EA3 Hotfix 1] [floppystack]

[EmDotRand]

Not a fan of the chonky MC, but the idea of fucking enemies to stun them in a rogue-like is neat and the base game is there. However, my main gripes are he same ones I've had with most rouge likes.

1. Heavy reliance on luck. how much your heals are almost entirely based on luck, so you can have one run where you find a healing tomb and a ton of potions only for both of them to go extinct the next. It also sucks that you can't use most of the equipment you find effectively as they require stats boosts that can only be trained by potions that randomly drop. My first successful run i got extremely lucky with enemies constantly and hallways where it's easy to line up foes to strike one at a time. It wasn't satisfying at all to find the exit.

2. Discouragement from combat. There are many instances were you can't sneak around or run away from combat and very rarely do you even get loot from it, meaning the only incentive to actively go after enemies is for the sex. Even then you'll get a game over after just 3-4 foes (or bottles of cum if you're luck is like mine), so that tactic is technically discouraged as well. Combined with the previously mentioned rare heals and gear that can't help you there's not much of a reason to fight unless you have to.

3. Dog water tutorial. It doesn't teach you basic stuff like using the numpad to move diagonally (no, having it on the Itch page as a throwaway comment does not count), using /Q/ and /E/ keys to rotate your view, how to use items you pickup, what the stats do, etc. The "figure it out yourself" aspect synonimous with the genre should not apply the controls of the game.

Other than that I'l just poke by every once in a while to see where this heads.

That character design tho...

Right? I wonder if that's a 3rd party asset. Hats off, if the modeling and animation is done from scratch. (The goblin asset seems kinda familiar, though.)

So what are the Altars for?

Same question about mirrors

 

[Bun5643]

I think Altars are for identifying items. Just drop a bunch of stuff on an altar, you'll get a note about an 'Evil Aura' on cursed items, and other non cursed stuff is identified as normal. But the evil aura note can also be on wands which aren't cursed, but that might be a bug, so just try it out!

Mirrors are for casting spells on yourself with the wands. I know there's one wand called 'Empower' which you don't wanna use on the enemy, there may be more?

It's generally safe to use the mirrors to cast on yourself since (I don't think) there's no huge damage wands, if you wanna use the mirrors to ID your wands.

Hey,

I got a generation issue (here it happened on the second level) I cannot progress any further I do not have any stairs to go deeper.

 

[Dibil7456]

really big potential, keep going with it (even now at the earliest stage game looks better than 99% of the games i see here)

 

[VaeVictus]

So what are the Altars for?

Drop items on top of them. It tells you if they are cursed, uncursed or blessed. Basically an identification machine. Altar uses are infinite, drop item, identify it, pick it up and place another, repeat.

So what are the Altars for?

The altars work as an identification scroll to any item you throw at it. It will tell whether its cursed or blessed etc so they are handy if you pick up items which you dont know if they are cursed or not.

AAAA so thats what the mirror does! I figured all the others out but not that one so thank you for the information really appreciate it.

Well, to be honest, she looks like your common fan fiction Mei and I'm all for it. If it's done from scratch it indeed is some great work. If it's a 3rd party asset, well, at least she's cute as fuck.

Maybe add egg laying cutscene after which an enemy type of the same race that impregnated you will spawn from the egg after a certain period of time has passed? The color of the egg could also be the same as the enemy that succeeded in impregnating the mc like green for goblin etc so you know what to expect.

Pretty unique 3d models and well made animations, definitely has potential. Aside from the black screen bug, it feels rather polished for a 0.1 version of a 3d game. Also, I don't know if it's just a me issue, but the MC idle animation while in inventory pov seems to be a bit choppy.

While I do enjoy known formulas such as renpy virtual novels and rpgmaker games, it's good to see some R-18 devs taking the less safe approach and making their own mechanics and unique spin.

 

[DudePersonA]

This game is a pretty great demo so far. Looking forward to seeing how it develops. Also digging the protag's character design.

The author on Itchio says that they patched the cum limit issue causing black screens. Apparently they messed up a scene before uploading the 0.1 version on there. Can confirm that the one on Itchio is working past the cum bar filling (The version here is still the broken first version).

Can someone confirm that the version in the OP has been updated as well? The dev didn't increment the version number.

I choose the itchy version and didn´t had black screens so far. Not sure about the OP.

Tried using Cheat engine for HP and CUM stat but the values just wont be found, other Godot-based games work fine, I realised that most Godot-based games with retro style text format seem to work funky on cheat engine and wont search the values. Maybe someone more skilled at using cheat engine will respond and enlighten us.

When you search for the value, you have to put "2 Bytes" instead of the default "4 Bytes" in the Value Type.

Really ? Usually when I cant find a value I just search by ALL values and input the value of what im looking for so usually it will search for all values that showcase the specific number, but even with that I wasn't able to find values so i'll try with cheat engine on 2 Bytes

Hereby I confirm it works, BUT you need to do this all over again latest when switching levels.
Don´t fix the values, the game will crash. ^^

This is a good game, but it's hard as fuck boi

I've yet to find a single way to heal reliably. There's some small natural regeneration but I have no idea what causes it and it amounts to maybe one or two additional hits from the enemies.

It's not rape-on-loss, which is probably a positive for a lot of people but I happen to like both and it would make losing feel rather less... Well, harsh. On the other hand, putting it entirely into the players' hands means I don't have to worry about accidentally getting ganked by a wolf and having to sit through 30+ seconds of bonerkill to get back to the stuff I do like.

Dungeon design seems pretty good. Already a good variety of rooms, although most are dead empty. Enemies are mostly of the "Approach you and whack you 'till you fall down" sort but that's fine, and you get to fuck them if you want instead of fighting.

Character design is a little on the thicker side, and I do prefer skinny girls. Still super cute though - Sorta gives Mei from Overwatch vibes and I can jive with that. Hoping there's a razor item at some point that lets you shave her but that's personal preference, it's not some overgrown mess like sometimes shows up in JP porn.

Sex is well animated, but could stand to loop a little more, let it ride some if the player isn't mashing a skip button. I'm not really feeling the current Need For Speed with regards to fapping.

Blessing a sword or shield will give you better chances at hitting and evading, respectfully. A ring of regeneration or vampirism will help with hp, as long as you manage her intake of cum. Also, let the enemies move into range to attack you when they close. It consistently gives you the first hit and can save you from taking more damage in the long run.
Getting an early bronze sword and blessing it can be very useful if you find a fountain. Even with the negative to hit from stats, you are still rolling twice to hit an enemy.
Altars help with finding out if stuff is cursed or not, as well as telling you how many shots are in a wand. I haven't really found a good reason to bless rings and I haven't noticed much of a boost from it in any of my own games. Enhancing a ring to a +1 (or more) will boost its effect, which is lovely for certain item drops.
Also, a wand of enhancement seems to be a permanent effect. Casting it into a mirror is an easy way to get some stat boosts.

Played a metric ton of rogue-likes in my day, so I hope that helps!
