Others - Innventure [v0.9] [Joody14]

This review is addressed towards version 0.0.631 of this game, which is the current last version posted in the site

To be perfectly honest, for a WIP game.. there isn't really a lot happening

To start off with the good things, I think animations (sex ones and normal ones) are pretty decent, I like the pixel art style, it's rather pretty

Story is... well, there isn't much story per se, but it's a good introduction. I would personally suggest speech bubbles between characters, I find it more immersive and friendly than having a square at the bottom left of your screen which is rather small and doesn't last too long, so if you aren't a fast reader you're probably going to miss some things

Combat is, so far.. super simple, there isn't anything outstanding about it aaaand that's where the good things stop in my opinion.

Whilst I'm speaking about combat, I have to say, there needs to be ways to defend yourself from incoming enemy attacks, since the first vampire that you find is literally right in front of your door as you exit and it will attack you instantly, most likely causing you to collapse. This is a little unfair, as you pretty much do not have any sort of reaction time to try and attack it before it reaches you.

I would also like to suggest a struggle system of sorts, to try and escape the rape scene if you wish to as well as having a checkpoint system to restart from where you last were, since if you get your health depleted whilst being raped, there's no other way to proceed than to restart the game and if you restart the game, you'll have to start from the very beginning again..

Also, when it comes to the world, I feel like at the beginning before the awakening of the goddess, you should be able to interact with more people in the world, as to get a little bit more immersed and know how the village was before the awakening.. currently, it's just you getting up, exploring just a slight bit to see different houses (they're the same exact house over and over, would be cool if there was some variety) and you can't access any of them.. not even the tavern, which you see people coming in and out of

Also, would be cool if the different NPC's we see walking around had a different design, they all look the same.. just for immersion purposes as well

The game shows promise, let's see how it develops from here on out.

this is not worth any time, just placeholder for another pixel art game. 0 new or good ideas, dont waste ur time. Mb at 1.00 completed version this garbage will entertain. 0/10 art, idea and realisation.

I know its just 0.06 version but the game needs a lot of improvement,
1 .there is no counter when they down you other than pressing Shift like its kind of tiring
2. If I want to restart/replay the game I need to the start of the story again and again
3. the vampire are already in the door like what's the use you get down instant and game over.

I was gonna give it 2 stars, but it does have potential so 3 it is. The main issue is that theres even no instructions at all which is weird for a game that has quite unintuitive mechanics

Another issue - the dev doesn't seem to update the game often enough for it to become relevant and good in a timespan that is at least tolerable. Until the dev gets to work and actually starts to update this game heavily, week after week until theres a ton of decent content i doubt anything great will come out of this solid proof of concept

Updated Review for [v.0.1.0]

Another 180 degrees turn but at least in the right direction. So I'll give 3 stars. It's buggier than before. Gameplay is okay. At least future of this game is bright now. With proper updates this game could easily become a fun management game with heavy h-stuff.

Verdict: 6/10. A couple inches away from being a masterpiece game.

[0.0.1 -> 0.0.5] Review

This game is amazing but It is very early in development. I really love the setting and mechanics. Although there is nothing much to do now (serving customers drinks and other h-things, collecting money, collecting garbage, buying clothes and that's it) it has high potential for a casual fun game. Right now there is no save system and no purpose so I advise putting this game on your watchlist and wait for it to grow. Best of luck for the dev.

Verdict: 10/10 for the execution and potential.

Edit for [0.0.7] -> 180 degrees turn to disaster. Old version had more promise and future. It was unique and was fun to play even there's little content. The new style of gameplay is really bad and stale compared to before and contains lots of bugs.

Updated Verdict: 1/10. Avoid until gameplay mechanics properly decided and implemented.

Beautiful and with lots of potential. Check back in a few months and it'll be f95zone's masterpiece.

Seriously, the dev is super active and you should definitely support them if you can spare the dollar. They also take suggestions very easily on Discord so if you're some sort of demented creep like the rest of us, no shame in proposing an addition of your fetish/favourite sex pose.

I can agree with fellow reviewer Squidbit that it is slow, but that will get ironed out I'm sure.
If prositution and abuse are your kinks, get the fuck on this game.

EDIT: The dev went bananas, and reworked the game entirely. Now it's trash. Sad.

Rating the 0.0.1 demo where there's only one sex scene and basic gameplay

It seems pretty good so far. Nothing I'd jerk off to yet, but I can easily see it getting there in future updates

The game itself doesn't feel like anything special, but it's all the little things that I like so far. The undressing/redressing, the conversation with the guard reacting to your actions, and just the fact that everything that's in the game seems to work the way it's supposed to, which is great for a 0.0.1

There's 2 reasons I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
1: You can't play one-handed, which I feel is a terrible design choice for any porn game
2: It's really slow. You walk slow and the bartending game takes a really long time to end. I understand walking slow is where the challenge comes from, since you have to reach the customers before they get mad, but I would increase the walk speed and make customers get angry faster. That or give a sprint button that makes you risk dropping drinks or something
