I hope everyone is having nice holidays. I haven't replied to any posts in a while so I've cherry-picked a few that tell me how great of a game creatologist I am and how everything is great. I do appreciate your interest in the game (or story or tits or green cock) because otherwise what would be the point of making this? And I'm very grateful to my supporters and I'm thankful for everyone who offers constructive criticism.
I know Healslut is a mess. It's got a little of everything and not enough of anything. The ship voyage is so out of pace with the rest of the story that it feels like a fever dream. And now I've gone and fucked the character sprites up by trying to unfuck them. Anyway, that's all I have to say.
Not really. None of this is set in stone. I've made fixes on fixes on fixes. I've spliced timelines and warped branches. I sound like a god. A pitiful god. I push pixels around and make them talk. I can't sit in the clouds because I'm afraid of heights so I sit in the dirt. But the point is that I'm still working on it. I know a lot of you are waiting for particular routes or kinks or just some fucking 'fucking' content and I'm sorry for the wait but I am working on it. Anyway, that's all I have to say.
Not really. I really do hope you're having nice holidays and if you like Healslut (even a little), then thank you. I honestly do need validation.
The first time I played through the Underwell part I remember thinking "Huh, too bad we don't get the option for Sparkle to go through with the blowjob, because this would be the perfect setup for an interesting scene". Then later I realised this is just what this game does, it often teases the possibility of a sex scene without actually giving us one. This doesn't happen all the time of course as there are obviously quite a few sex scenes, but there have been many times where the game made me think something interesting was about to happen (or could happen), only for it to then fizzle out and nothing ends up happening.
Going back and adding scenes to those points in the game sounds like a great idea to me, in theory at least. But why bother when you're just gonna go for the absolute bare minimum? Two renders, that's it..? Well really only one but viewed from two angles, only for it to get interrupted before it gets interesting anyway.
Maybe it sounds like I'm nitpicking, but I feel like that's the perfect example of time that would've been worth more if spent elsewhere. This just serves as more empty teasing to someone like me who decided to replay the game, reaches the Underwell, thinks "oh nice, he added a scene here", only to then be disappointed after clicking past the second image..
Okay so yes you are correct, most of the teases in the game are intended to be full sex scenes in the future. And I know the Underwell one sucks (hardy har). I was having a couple of bad writing days and thought "fuck it I'll update one of the teases" but my flow came back and I ended up just putting in what I had. It was a bad decision because I know how weirdly hot that scene could be. I'm waiting until the story is complete so that I can focus on things like this instead of half-assing them -- and I will get that scene fixed so that it's weirdly hot.
Kinda want an option for dominating strong Sparkle to embrace her nudism without being forced into it. Being naked and owning it.
I'm all for that and it won't take much to implement so I've put this on my short list.
Is the replay menu supposed to be a gallery? If yes, does anyone have a full save?
The gallery/replay feature has been neglected because it takes a long time to set it up with all the various variations. I will get this fixed eventually -- not that I expect that eases the wait. You can go directly into the /gallery/ folder and view whatever images you like for now though, if that helps.
...I just played the latest update. and man...does the story goes hard. I thought I was playing a porn game, not an actual game that would make me want to cry for these characters
Thanks for saying this. I put a lot into the story and characters.
Also, there's still hope for a brighter ending depending on Sparkle's choices.
what happened to this game, why did he just completely stop updating roopah path?
In short, yes. And I'm sorry for that. Roopah's character arc has a pivotal moment on the ship voyage but I haven't addressed it, so the content going forward from there is missing a trick. I really do have to fix this because it has been waiting and deserves some attention.
I know how you feel. Sparkle's harem path has been stuck in the bandit camp doing nothing for several updates now as well.
I know. I'm behind on a lot and it really sucks.
I never said anything else
Sparkle can fail to get Leigh back into the group and he will still end up in the slaver's hands as long as Sparkle doesn't sign the (let's be honest ridiculous) contract that he offers.
Why isn't the femboy thing available early on or from the get-go?
I can probably move it to earlier without making a huge mess. I've put it in my notes to check. And I wouldn't mind making some transformations available near or even at the start of the game but that has to go on the long list.
V.085..still nothing. Utilize the fucking furry assets, otherwise what's the damn point putting it in.
You got Wejit a male goblin, and the rest are human content. Some of us enjoy anthro on monster/human.
I know. And I know I keep talking about my lists but this is on my list. The furry stuff was only a request at first but I've gotten plenty of messages. I didn't mean for it to be a tease and I do plan to build that out to at least a few scenes in the story.
I'll always love this game but the lack of progress in the last year or so has been a real bummer. Finally got out of the bandit camp after being stuck there forever but no big lewd scenes and the orgy scene is still unfinished.
It just feels like the game has branched too much with all the character variants, paths, and meaningless outfits and drifted from the core of the game which imo is free use and/or romance with the main gang members like Roopah, Panki, Lel, etc.
Man, I'm really trying. I let myself take too many requests in the middle of development and that's no one's blame but my own. I'm not doing requests now so hopefully things will pick up pace from your perspective.
I'd think the game could go on longer, lots of routes don't have much content. I guess it's time to stop this madness of too many variations with a story barely advancing in years
Thankfully we're near endgame. The story will be complete soon!
Then I'll pick one route and fix it. Then another one. And one day, I'll be done.
That's what I tell myself to stay sane.
Is this game a romantic comedy? I've seen a few people say that they enjoy Lel being a dom over sparkle, but maybe I'm playing a different game cause everything seems like its a joke. I don't have an issue with the game if that's what it is, but the only thing that stood out to me of Lel being a dom was when she forced sparkle to wear a gag. Other than that maybe I'm missing out on something.
Well there's a scene where Sparkle is put on one of those bondage X things but yes, that's about it for actual/hardcore BDSM content for now.
OMG!!! Finally a letter upgrade. Hopefully more Big updates in 2024. Love your game EXTREMELY dev, bless years ahead.
Thanks.
