I think it referring the argument Panki and Roopah having before we get task from Kayden. It would trigger regardless, but depending on our relationship with them it would go differently.Thank youAnd do you know how to trigger the catfight ?
Should we be in relationship with Panki then have a night with Roopah or something else ?

Would you mind elaborating a bit on who do you mean here?
Perhaps I'm not paying enough attention, but as far as I remember Leigh leaves because he's a prick, and Lel could hardly be called "key member" considering her standing.

Roopah and Panki too.
He manages to piss off Panki in a massive way depending on your relationship with her though a lot of that is aimed at Roopah too.
Then he practically dismisses all of Roopah's concerns who didn't want Panki or Lel in the group in the first place.
Not all on Kayden, Roopah's showing herself to be a bit of a dick too and Panki was on the verge of going all demon on them.
So, I went all the way back to this post on 06DEC2019 looking for an answer for this, but couldn't find one. Have there been any repercussions included yet for picking the correct/incorrect solution to the situation rising from dealing with some bandits?

That's really the crux of the problem: she doesn't seem to know exactly what she wants...
Coffee, whiskey, and street tacos. Usually in that order, too!
Who knows what the future holds?
Thanks for the kind words! I'm not sure about a "proper/full" futa Sparkle in the future, but I'm definitely not going to rule it out.
Thank you!However this is a great game and I hope it will go for a long time because it's amazing
That would NEVER happen!

Thanks! Yes, it's a lot, but it's my part-time job now (and maybe even my full-time job soonish!) so I've got a pretty good handle on it.
There will be M/M with trap Sparkle and most of the main male characters. Originally there was a "stud" option for the transformation but it has been sidelined due to low interest. That doesn't mean I won't come back around to it later on, though!
And I appreciate the kind words! "Toenail Moons" is just a side-story I came up with for the anime movie. I'm sure I drew inspiration from stories/movies but I did not consciously base it on anything in particular.
All true.
Thank you so much! I'm working on them
Thanks!
Then I think you're going to like the next update. And the next update. And the next update.
There is a slappy scene foreshadowing this very possibility!
Not difficult to see what's popular haha
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it
Wow. Wow! I love it. I read through this four times! I don't want to comment on any of the conjecture (although I really love reading people's thoughts and ideas!) but I will say you've made a few good points that have gone straight into my notes.Gotta say, enjoyed what there is of Healslut so far immensely.
Just the right combination of humor, very good characterization, nerd, and pr0n (in that order, actually).
Having a functioning autistic MC definitely makes it even more relatable. Making it even more hilarious when MC blows up on Jane for pointing it out, but the game's choke-full of such self-aware jokes. Really good writing there!
That said, some personal observations on scenes I felt could use some polishing. Mind, it could be just the result of my personal (mis)interpretation of them, and I'm certainly not privy to your intended plot or character development goals, so YMMV. Also, I only played a specific paths due to personal preferences.
Thought I'd share them in case you find any constructive feedback there, anyway:
Fair warning - some spoilers ahead, and I don't want to force somebody busy actually making a damn good game clicking on every "spoilered" sentence I write, so... Don't read if you haven't played the game
1. Would be nice to see a way for even LostPuppy MC to shape Kayden's approach to leadership. Personally, I'd put him into the "trying hard, but failing" category. He's a decent leader, but he's not a GOOD one (though he is a good person, especially considering the settings). As the most glaring example, he puts untrained Lel with no "babysitter" right into the middle of an important, and highly demanding, engagement. THEN places the blame on anybody but himself, and even after Panki's off-screen intervention still does not acknowledge it being his own SNAFU.
He continues his "totally not abusive and I don't like it anyway" approach to party's looter even when the party dynamic potentially changed by a LOT. If you decide that Leigh deserves all the karma he - hopefully - has coming for him, and made the right choices, the only member (hah!) that could have some issues with decent treatment of looters could be Roopah, and she doesn't strike me as that petty, either. In my preferred path, the group consist of Kayden, sir Wejit (title absolutely earned!), "romanced" Panki (who I feel wouldn't object to better treatment of anybody, ever, as long as they aren't in-yo-face evil), "romanced" Lel (what problems?), Champ and Twig (like they get a word, anyway, or remember an issue for longer than a scene, hah!), Harmony (why should they object?), and finally Roopah. There's literally no reason for Kayden to continue his "tough love" approach at that point, especially if Sparkle herself is also a looter - hell, she binds most of the group together!
Would be nice if MC had the opportunity to call him out on it, and, depending on previous choices, do so with the backing of some of the group Kayden might actually listen to, if Sparkle's not one at that point (depending on previous choices made).
My take on the situation was that it was Leigh, and Leigh alone, that made Kayden decide Lel needed the treatment she got, regardless of his presented justification. And even IF Roopah had some input there as well, she seems far more self-aware (if only going by the desert dialogue where she calls out Sparkle on her actions) to make a critical issue of it.
I get that the choice to keep it might be driven by players' desires, but it's kind of... odd in at least one potential path. Would be nice to see some softening with the right choices, though I do understand it's more work for you. On the other hand, with that specific path in mind, by then Sparkle managed to significantly boost the group's power (Wedjit, Harmony, even Lel's return). Something Kayden would do well to acknowledge if he was truly a good leader. Not to mention Sparkle being instrumental in handling a situation with a Greater Succubus, potentially also leading to acquisition of a powerful artifact (sure, Lel got it, but if Sparkle didn't persuade Kayden to go back for Lel in the first place...)
If you play specific choices, Sparkle might still be a Lost Puppy when it comes to the world she's in, but one that is, even if unconsciously, very astute when it comes to character judgement (and group dynamics, for that matter).
2. A minor thing, but it rather bothered me to not have a choice to try healing on Wendycat's body. Seemed really out of character for the Sparkle I played not to even try, even disregarding the importance, as a tool if nothing more, of the person to her. Of course her spells were nowhere near as powerful by then, but that's hardly a justification for not trying at all. Could also spice up the interaction with Lel right after considering the usual effect such spells have on Sparkle. Just saying. >.>
3. A major thing was being unable to at least try to tell Kayden how much of a dick (and not in a good sense) Leigh turned out to be, if player chooses to tell him to get lost even after initially persuading to return to the group. ESPECIALLY after pulling the "do you know what I can do to you?" choice (loved that one, the prissy got exactly the dressing-down he was long owed). Hell, there was no way my Sparkle was going to give Leigh anything after his "reasoning" showed exactly what a rotten spoiled twit he was. If anything, I really wanted Sparkle to tell Kayden she not just told off Leigh, she did NOT tell Leigh who the assassin was, either, and then give a detailed explanation as to why. Kayden does not strike me as somebody who would think much of Leigh after that exposee, so why don't we have a chance to do it? It's Kayden who deserves the closure, screw Leigh (and, again, NOT IN A GOOD WAY!)
This could tie in pretty well with "softening" of Kayden, too, as a major example of how wrong he can be in his judgment of character.
The way I see it, Sparkle would end up the "character judge" of the group, and Kayden would actually listen to her in that respect. THAT would've been the action of a better leader than he currently strikes me as, all things considering. Judge all you want, fellow deviants, I actually like "happy [strike]family[strike] group, butterflies and rainbows" feelgoods in my porn (Acting Lessons, nevah forget!)
Assuming you think a "lost but not useless" path is not too much work, obviously.
4. The choice to ask for beta access for Jane in return for Wendy's request seems really out of place considering, by then, MC knows the "game" is basically alt-life with serious consequences, much less the "being trapped in a world you know very little about but is far more dangerous for you" situation. Potential for brain-frying aside, one that the creators seem to have a somewhat iffy, at best, handle on, as well. Hell, at that point Sparkle is literally being "carried" by the group, and asks to add another "lost puppy" to the mix? I bet Roopah would've loved to throw that one back at Sparkle as well as an excellent example of her "smart decisions."
With that out of the way, I do hope Jane might be motivated enough to apply for testing position herself (if only as a way to get closer to MC), and end up in the alt-world as well. Bonus points if she ends up actually being far more capable at it than MC. If only for laughs.
5. When Kayden confronts Lost Puppy Sparkle about "stress-relief" duties of a looter, there should be an option to consult whomever is the player's "love interest" (and multiple characters, if applicable). Something Kayden should have foreseen, if not because of any regard for Sparkle herself, but out of respect for the "more worthy" members of the group involved.
Especially when Panki, as an immediate example that spurred on this observation, herself had already asked that Sparkle talks to her before deciding to fool around with anybody else not that long ago.
Not having "let me talk to people I'm already involved with before giving an answer" choice there feels pretty restrictive. I would certainly entertain the possibility of "stress relief" Sparkle IF this was fine with Panki and Lel (and Sparkle herself could put her foot down hard - if that's what the player prefers - on any potential pregnancy-resulting acts if only BECAUSE WENDY EXPLICITLY WARNED HER ABOUT THAT).
So... yeah. That choice would be really welcome there, and hopefully not require too much work.
Some minor musings:
I'd love to see sir Wejit somehow get turned into a panty-dropping luscious hunk. As shallow as it is, his appearance (and, apparently, smell) is probably the only thing preventing my Sparkle from seriously considering bonking him silly.
Sir Wejit abso-damn-lutely has earned it. Considering just how practical goblins are, and Wejit's clear appreciation of human form (or at least the female version of it), I doubt he'd object too much to ending up in a body making it easier to get busy with human women.
Also, please consider (no matter how difficult to achieve) a path where everyone bonks everyone else silly with no ill feelings. Best "group dynamics" are... erm... shared "group dynamics?"
And if you don't do it, I will utilize my very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you make a swinger path now, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... And I will force you to write a VN full of saggy tits and geriatric impotent dicks.
Swollwang not being recruitable long-term member (kek) of the group makes me QQ. Really enjoyed his sesquipedalianism.
Anyway, looking forward to the future development. Healslut feels like a VN version of the Cummoner - you come for porn, get instantly hooked by humor, then stay for the story and investment in characters.
Wish I could patreon you, definitely deserved. Instead, for what it's worth, please accept my gratitude and accolades for your work.
More lesbian stuff is inbound. Hold on to your cooter!
Thank you! And I definitely don't mind if another creator is inspired by that content to make their own game. I believe there's a lot of room for exploring that theme/idea and I'd certainly play a game that did so.
Mmm...
There's a bit of Harmony progress in 0.4B (if you take her to the docks while having Suppress Suffering) and there's much more to come. She's new (literally) so it's going to take her a bit to find her motivation.
Not yet.
Thanks yo!
Do fairies count as furries? Dammit. Oh dammit. Oh no...I'm desperately trying not to fall in love with fairy sparkle because I'm not trying to be a damn furry.
I really don't think they do, hehe. Keep up the fantastic work with the game! I have to say, I really like seeing Lel open up. Seeing her squee over Sparklefairy really added a smile to my face.
She was shy and cute before, but now she's really coming in to her own and letting her personality show. Looking forward to seeing what kind of kinky mind she has once she has Sparkle dominated at her feet! She'll probably put Roopah to shame.You can count on another +1 patron soon!
No wonder I couldn't figure out where you were coming from with that comment, all of this was completely absent from the AssertiveSparkle and LostPuppy paths I played myself!
As much as I really, really like being able to see every potential choice in games I play, I often find that taking characterization decisions that go against my personal preferences spoils the characters (and the game itself) for me. So I really did not see anything that bad coming from Kayden, or Panki, OR Roopah, either!
Really tells you a lot about strength of daviezwei's writing and characterization where a few situations completely change the perception you have of one of the key actors.
In the choice progression I've played, Panki is sweet and troubled, Roopah got upset most likely because she feels left out and really likes Sparkle, and Kayden seems unable to let Leigh's hold on him go.
Somebody's in loooveee!
A rapey "stick a huge dong in you the first chance I get whether you like it or not," confused one, but the EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT™ is clearly there XD
This is pretty hilarious, considering the desert scene that made me elevate Roopah from "dumb cock-driven bruiser" to "daamn, girl, you worldly!" Then again, people being incredibly astute toward others while completely oblivious to glaring and obvious to anybody else issues with themselves seems a common human trait.
Glad to hear something there was useful!Wow. Wow! I love it. I read through this four times! I don't want to comment on any of the conjecture (although I really love reading people's thoughts and ideas!) but I will say you've made a few good points that have gone straight into my notes.
Seeing as I have no means of contributing financially, being able to help with the creative process means at least some tiny way of giving back for such an entertaining (and free*) story.
While at it, I recalled another scene that feels somewhat incomplete - the situation with the fighting-Lel outcome of the "kill everyone" contract.
Warning: thar be spoilers ahead!
Based on what my Sparkle was able to determine, it was the first "had an epiphany in the morning, I'm going straight and honest now" thug who was the survivor. The guy with wife, kids, and sudden attack of morals (or just acute self-survival syndrome, anyway).
In which case, it was really disappointing not to have an option for the Sparkle I played so far to go "well... how about you don't say anything to anybody about us, and we'll let sleeping dogs lie? Oh, and you should talk to our group leader so he doesn't just back off from my friend here, but also can KILL YOU DED IF YOU EVER, EVER BACK OUT ON IT!"
Panki is obviously extremely uncomfortable with the situation, despite immediately offering her support (I mean, talk about trust there). Kayden's (and the groups') concerns are apparently twofold - fulfilling the contract (kinda already blown by reporting a survivor to the mayor), and retaliation from the Thieves' Guild. Assuming the guy they want to silence hasn't really spoken about what transpired to anybody (which isn't that far fetched considering getting traumatized often does that to you), letting him go in return for a solemn vow of silence might not be that bad of a decision. A questionable one (with potential for coming right back at the group later on, if the Guild decides to do their own asking or whatnot), but one I think Kayden might agree to if Panki insists on it. With Sparkle's backing, and the right previous choices having shown Kayden that Sparkle's decisions at least in that area are legit (so, Wejit and Harmony in group, friends with everyone but Leigh, etc.).
Even disregarding all the circumstances of my particular path, I think it would be nice to have a "aww, poow bandit, you can go back to wife and kids" option there for every path... just, possibly, different results of it
Ok, I know it's more work (as with any content addition and branching), but you could even set it up so that the player has a chance of just talking to that guy before offing him in the tunnels (if only justified to confirm for last time that's the right target - doesn't mean the player would GET a chance to do so, if you prefer to keep it ambiguous). Then either have a "good Sparkle" be "kind" about it (sure, promising no harm for silence is not the smartest decision, but arguably a more moral one). Or get bribed to let the guy live - say, the bandits had a valuable stash somewhere, he will ransom himself with it. THEN you can set it up so a hardcore "don't fuck with us or you're dead" (or just "I'm evululz") player choices actually have the bandit honor the deal, whereas the player being a flaky goodie-two-shoes in choices before (dealing with Wejit, tavern keeper, choice of "roomies," etc) makes agreeing to that a dumb choice with serious consequences. Basically, be either consistently "good" or not, but be consistent about it or you'll get shafted.
Assuming this fits in your narrative designs in the first place.
Seems like it could be a good story-branching point to use, and the characterization to support being more soft-hearted there (or just dumb if you go with "harsh world" decisions) is already established.
It's another of those decisions that can impact how Kayden perceives Sparkle, too. If letting that guy go actually does remove the threat of the Guild, score Sparkle. If it does not, then it's 10 points for Griffin- er, Kayden's "leadership" style (and putting Sparkle in place hard). If they score some lewt (and may or may not off the guy afterwards, probably making Panki really angry about it), score Sparkle. Unless it's the bandit that runs a con on them, then it's "stress relief" Sparkle path again
It's a good branch not just for overall story (which, again, I have no idea where you plan on going with), but also characterization development. As I already mention, I prefer cheesy feel-good narrative, and if you think you can cater to both people like myself and the "abused Sparkle is best Sparkle" crowd, along with some variations thereof in between, all the more power to you
Great, I wanted to wait for some more new content before replaying as not to get repetition burnout, but now I have to see this.I have to say, I really like seeing Lel open up. Seeing her squee over Sparklefairy really added a smile to my face.
Thanks, Oba- Secureb!

I was playing a relationship with Panki but let Roopah do Sparkles thinking for her.
Turns out Panki doesn't like that so much and Shparkles is hers and hers alone.
Probably going to have a redo and not pick Roopah to do Sparkles thinking. I just thought it might be funny but I prefer happy Panki to angry Panki.
I definitely agree with this. I've got a few saves going... well, a few more than I'd be willing to admit... and I do like the cheesy feel-good narratives. And the humour! I also love subbiest sub on the Yellow Submarine Sparkle too.It's a good branch not just for overall story (which, again, I have no idea where you plan on going with), but also characterization development. As I already mention, I prefer cheesy feel-good narrative, and if you think you can cater to both people like myself and the "abused Sparkle is best Sparkle" crowd, along with some variations thereof in between, all the more power to you
Hah, that's one I haven't seen because, no matter how Roopah might be right about Sparkle having no bloody clue about the world around her, mySparkle isn't actually (too) dumb not to do her own thinking, for better or worse.
Though, from what you describe, I'm going to have to see this myself now, if only for the lulz.
*Insert "Now Kiss" Panki and Roopah meme here*
Ironically, if you do "self-thinking" Panki-sexing route without initial invovement with Roopah, it turns out Panki is not against Sparkles fooling around, as long as there's a bond of trust between them ("talk to me before you do it"). It really sold me on Panki being the best initial bedmate choice.
Not sure why she feels threatened by Roopah the way she does if you go for both. Penis envy?
With all that I said, I really do hope there's a "Panki needs to let loose with her demonic side from time to time and bed is the best place to do it" set of choices even for "so sweet my teeth hurt" Panki path.
Healslut definitely has the potential to be a great "coming out of the basement" story, about a young woman who finds herself opening up to the vast possibility of experiences the world has to offer...
Or just getting hammered by Roopah (or, even better, Lel herself) into a barely functional nymphomaniac, I guess. I'm OK with that, too >.>

I thought this one had been abandoned/on hold for some time, but it seems you are quite correct.
Apparently i this one confused with some other game in the recent wave of games returning from limbo, my bad.

Nah. It's pretty much alive. In fact, it's one of a few games here where updates are pumped out regularly and consistently. With others, you wait and wait and wait, and when the update eventually arrives, it's either light on content or totally disappoints.
There are a lot of minor decisions that change things in subtle ways but the main ones are choosing to be the loot puppy alongside Lel (or in her place) and deciding to be free use. The Roopah Romance line has a lot of opportunities to be submissive too.
