When Duel Family update comes out

So that is likely never, that game one of the reason you are so scared of appearing to milk? I never really got into that game, but I know that game burned a lot of people and definitely did not help newer devs to establish themselves.

Named Saves (How else am I going to tell my Sarah sad and happy saves?)
Covered now


Opacity slider (of course if you do this font needs an outline so it can stand out against all backgrounds)
Not a clue how to do else I would

Pop ups like in Wife Trainer (Ex. Mike pressed the button...again. Becca is making coffee. The important note stuff.)
Not sure what we mean by pop ups?

Gallery (For those who want to relive things)
Sadly no. I did look into it but again it seems beyond my coding abilities to understand tbh. One of the things I've noticed is that as my basic coding is apparently really complex, adding standard code fixes to things causes crashes.

Editable note area (so we can keep track of the story points)
Again probs beyond me. There are the PDA's of course for that. Especially the engineer PDA.

Stickers (the small head images that people keep posting, a small sad Sarah head to go along with my evil save)
As a downloadable thingy?

Instagram filter (need to play the whole game like one of the old timey movies in the game)

Anyone have any other ideas for nice pref/options?

Well there is a mod out there that just sets Opacity to full, if you can make your game work with that. Also some nice answer about adding standard code and the usability of them from Jack in wicked choices thread I linked. You may be running into the same thing. https://f95zone.to/threads/wicked-c...hanged-boy-v0-1-5-aslpro3d.29811/post-2366088

I'm taking a break from the game for a minute because it's making me think about something. I'm some ways into chapter 2 and it seems to me the fact that the game is way more serious and does not feel like porn that trying to roleplay and be a reasonable person is keeping me from the sex scenes so far.

Yep, this isn't a simple porn game. It's much, much more than that.

 

[DA22]

Yep, this isn't a simple porn game. It's much, much more than that.

Yeah, but for some people also less cause of that. Not everyone has the same needs and things they are looking for and as Thornberry already said this site may not be the place everyone looks to for a great game with story. Unfortunately I do not know of a true platform for really adult games yet.

 

[Nottravis]

There's that but it's mostly about what I want from a game. I'm happy to play good games, but on f95 that's not necessarilly my priority. Then the game just let me know I missed about 3 opportunity for good ole smexing. One of which was obvious and i just refused it because I'm not much of a sub... That's on me.

.

Oh I'm sure it wil make up for my lack of early options later, or when the games done or something. It's interesting that you mention a "friendly rivalry" with Chris because that exactly how I feel about what's going on between her and myself right now. And I really like it.

It seems like there could be a lot of different paths to take and that's pretty cool.

Hey Tom

Thanks for giving my silly little game a try and I'm so very pleased you're finding something to enjoy about it.

It is, as you've guessed, a heavy story based first and foremost and is quite a slow burn for the first couple of chapters. Largely as I needed to set up quite a few things for the player and get them into the rhythm of the game, understand some of the plot and get a feel for the characters.

Three it starts to warm up and Four goes rather bonkers on the old sex front btw...

But as the guys say, there are a lot of paths and your relationships with the characters will very much depend on your choices. Chris is a good example whereby she can be an antagonist, a friend, a domme or indeed a pure romance option all depending on how you play your MC. I never saw why characters in games had to one dimensional. Why they couldn't react like...well, like we do y'know? We like people we like and we don't like people we don't. So why shouldn't they?

But for each character there is more than one path and relationship and not all of those have to be sexual. After all Amanda might not be everyone's cup of tea sexually but you still might like her. Again, I never saw why your relationship with a character in the game had to be purely defined by sex.

Sarah fucking kills me. Of course the woman I find most attractive I'm "not on her radar" at all. Story of my fucking life. And then she has to "twist the knife" so to speak. Although that's more funny than anything

As to Sarah...well, she's one of the more interesting ones pathwise. She certainly has an odd outlook on life for sure...

You can't please everyone.

Adult games in every sense of the word are rare sadly.

 

[Pragathi]

Android version please???

 

[Nottravis]

My favourite path with Chris is the "buddy buddy cop" style one tbh

 

[Nottravis]

Yes there are and they are partially exclusive, so you will never reach all end of chapter targets in one play through. They are more a tease by Notty to show you what is in game and to pique your interest to go see them if you wish to.

Yep my original idea was that there would be so many paths that players would end up with totally different games. 116 endings by Chapter Ten.

I didn't expect the scamps to try all the paths....

 

[Akamari]

Android version please???

Here is an unofficial port.

Heavy Five Ch. 3 v1.1

ANDROID:

You must be registered to see the links

Heavy Five Ch. 3 v1.2

ANDROID:

You must be registered to see the links

 

[Nottravis]

Android version please???

I'm sorry but I don't do an android version myself.

I think, and the guys will correct me if I'm wrong (often is!) that someone made an unofficial port but I believe that, like the compressed version people make, it crashes and the graphics go wonky. Sorry

*thinks* Does this mean I'm a scamp? I do want to try all the paths, once it's all finished...

I'll have an attempt at making one that works properly after CH4 has been released with the new shiny!

It works with chapter 4 already?!?!?!?!

Done-zo. So, first off, leave it to me in a game where you can fail to seduce people to actually fail to seduce anyone. That's just depressing. Not doing wonders to my ego.

Yes, I do like the game a lot so far. And I like what you're saying about not all relationship having to be sexual in nature. Seeing as I'm pretty much the monogamous romantic type in real life, I also like romance in my games as well. Not a requirement, hell, I'm not always after it but I like having choices. Including choices to not pursue characters that aren't my type, sexually.

 

[Akamari]

Hmm. No idea if that happens with the latest one, as I don't have a device I could try it on. At least I don't recall anyone mentioning any problems with it.

OOoo! I have five really different romance paths in H5. Some are more challenging than others. Three of which, I'll confess, involve some very tough decisions on the part of the MC. But one thing I'll promise you Tom, they will be your decisions not mine.

By that I mean if anything bad happens along the way it won't be a forced "bad event". It'll all be down to you and you'll have warning of what could happen in advance. Promise.

And yep. I could never understand the porn game logic of if you want to progress with X first you have to shag Y. Nonsense in my book.

I thought all the overlays went wonky?

Well that is partly your own fault dear delicate adorable not-so-innocent one. By making all the women quite likable and having the same personality in every path you play, some of us can't really help they also will want to see how they react to different choices we make and get to know them better. Something we can't really do IRL.

All that says to me is that if I'm "failing" because I do, indeed, suck. The nice thing about games, as opposed to real life, is that I actually stand a chance at getting lucky. And even then if you give me an opportunity to fail, I fucking will apparently.

I don't mean failing at "the game", I mean failing at love and sex and all that. Anyway, all that's besides the point.

I'll keep an eye on the game. I can't promise to patronize or anything, I'm very broke. But if someone asks for a good game I'll drop Heavy Five as a recommandation.

I think that is what happened to most of us that tried to play it first time like a regular porn game, it takes a little adjustment to start playing based upon real choices instead of just jumping to the hoops to get to the smutty stuff as most games are built up. Anyone has some solar panels to polish?

Edit: Nottravis this might actually be one of the problems with popularity of the game, in a way if you start it with the wrong attitude the game might feel wrong instead of exciting. Maybe not using the right words here, but for me not reaching any of the goals at end of first chapter made me replay to see more, someone else might give up at that moment though.
