The only thing we can do is select photos? Having played only one game using the Godot Engine, I'd say there's a lot more this game can do. I look forward to the future of this version of the game.

 

[KlonHad]

Hey guys, The reboot has finally happened, I know it doesn't look like a lot but the profile building, The working gallery, The phone interface and everything else on this release took a week worth of none stop work.
We're building the game slowly from the ground up and for it to be immersive our developer didn't cut any corner in making the game. This is a proof of concept and to show you what you can expect from this game now that it is not limited by it's previous engine and we have a full team working on it, That's why we could use your support over at patreon so we can hire artist for better looking ui and eventually give you the best experience we can.

In this version you can build a profile and based on your photo choices you will get 3 profile bio results that will effect your matches in the next update

Hey guys, I'm the new programmer working on this reboot. It's my first time working with the Godot engine, so there's still a lot to learn with it, but I hope you all find this new interface to be fairly smooth and a good sign of things to come.

When it comes to programming, it will take as long as it takes to do it right, is how I prefer to work. There's nothing I hate more than having to sign off on a buggy mess. However, that being said I typically under-promise, and over-deliver, so it is my hope that we'll be able to get a good amount of content out to your fine folks in a timely manner.

And as always, I do spend a decent chunk of time testing, but if you find any bugs don't hesitate to let us know.

 

[c.o.w]

good luck on your proyect

 

[Sihy]

I can't say yet if it looks promising, or if it has potential. But I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure. Good luck!

that's honestly not enougth for a release... even for a beta-alpha-gamma-whatever-prototype tech demo.


we basically can see the gallery and build our profil wich result of fake typing a name and selecting 5-6 pictures for it. then that's it, nothing else.

i m sorry, but this is wayy not enougth for a release. even for presenting the game idea/potential.
not to be bad, but this can be done on ren'py in less than a day (and i m serious)

i think you should take your time, build something bigger and came out with it. because for now, this didnt help at all, it doesnt give any idea about how the game will look honestly, its just a small phone UI.

i dont want to be aggresive or anything and i dont say its BAD. i cant say anything about it because they are anything to comment on.

take your time guys, dont make the mistake of many devs to come out with nothing to show, this give very very bad first view on you and your game.

Its a reboot of a game that was already on html and had a lot of content on it, This is a proof of concept that relies on previous experience with the previous game which had a ton of ideas that couldn't be implemented due to engine limitations, While not a lot of content is up, Its a good proof of concept/teaser to get things rolling, With this update out of the way the next update will introduce plenty of content.

I couldn't agree more. I'd also like to chime in and say that people should stop supporting bottom of the barrel, lowest possible effort releases by saying it "has potential". Literally everything has potential. My dog took a shit on the side of the road earlier today and there's the POTENTIAL that the second coming of Adolf Hitler will slip in it and break his neck. That doesn't mean it's worth throwing money at the dog turd.

I really wish people would stop throwing together "alphas", "betas", "proof-of-concepts" and "demos" like this. All I see when something like this gets posted is a project that probably won't be worth playing for at least another two years, assuming it doesn't die or go into hibernation at some point along the way as many do. Put in at least a few months of hard work before showing off your project and expecting people to throw money at you. If you were pitching a product to an investor you wouldn't show up with 1% of the finished project and ask for support. If you were pitching a new book to a publisher you wouldn't show up with three typo-ridden pages with a ketchup smear on the side and ask for a deal.

A lot of people give developers the benefit of the doubt and assume good intentions. I admire their generosity, but as far as I'm concerned too many of these people are clearly grifters that have no intention of making a polished product and are only in it to milk the Patreon porn train for everything its worth. Developers that don't post progress reports despite it taking literally 10 minutes, miss deadlines constantly, that can't be arsed to post a god damned changelog, that lock every single post behind a paywall even if there's no actual porn in said post, that go on "hiatus" without telling anybody while still collecting monthly payment, that take half a year to post an update with about 20 minutes of content, etc.

I understand many of you like your bimbo games and Russian mommy fuck simulators, but please stop willingly being paypigs for lazy grifters. Have some integrity and support projects and people that deserve it.

While i echo your sentiment and agree in spirit this is not the case with this game, Its a reboot of a game with plenty of content on it(https://f95zone.to/threads/hookapp-v0-9-2-klonhad.33838/). Calling it bottom of the barrel and lowest possible effort is really disrespectful towards the programmer who worked day and night to get every single kink right. While a basic phone ui is not content, it does take a lot of wokr to get it right and get it working.
the previous game has 15 matches that has already been done and they would be revamped and added in the next updates of this game. This game has a decent following backing it up with a patreon that regularly updates progress and the game, there's no grift in here, just creating a game that i really wanted to be here but no one ever made it and this post is the teaser for it. every single $ on my patreon went into getting better writing then my own so the subscribers would get better content and better product overall. You dont need to assume the worst of people and I'm sure our next update or two will win you over.

Thx

Not whole cellphone is visible, the bottom of it(where the buttons shoul be). Is it fixable? I'm using windows 10.

 

[Darkjudge]

Its a cool proof of concept, I really like the potential.
Also the bios are quite funny.
Does this mean the HookApp alpha is going to be on hiatus/abandoned?

I believe this is because it's not set up for multiple resolutions yet, which I plan to implement with the first content update. For now though, you might be able to get away with resizing the window. Unless it's a glitch within the game itself and not just the edge of the window cutting it off, in which case a screen shot would be appreciated so i can better understand what's happening.

 

[itslydiabxtch]

Could we have, at some point, the game window be just the size of the "phone"?

 

[KlonHad]

For now yes, Our focus needs to be towards this game and RRW

 

[Wizard++]

We had discussed the possibility of creating a mobile version farther down the line, we haven't definitively decided if we will yet however.

In terms of the pc version though, we hadn't planned for that, as the game will be going away from the phone when you go to interact with the characters you meet through the app. Once we release the first matches, and everyone has a better idea of the overall game flow, if that's still a desired feature, it would certainly be doable.

 

[Darkjudge]

Yeah, that's fair. Well as I said, loving the concept as is, can see where you plan on going with it, should be fun.
Also now I know about RRW. Great concept!

like i have say, i m not saying its bad. i just say that you shouldnt post that yet and continu work on it more, at least to add like the first girl/contact or something.
i understand that your point here was to give idea of the Ui incoming. but honestly, this is way too short, its not enougth.
i didnt played the old version (kind of "old version if i can say ), but even if i would, honestly this would still be not enougth for me to give an opinion about it.
like i say, its better to take your time, even if its long, and come up with big bang stuff. i cant say for peoples who played the old version, but i can say for new people who discover your game, this will inevitabilyiliyliyliylyilyi (whatever you write this in english XD) push them away with a bad feeling about the game and the serious of the devs.

but again, its just my opinion, i m not an important person nor a professional critic.

Fair enough
