Others Keystroke [v4.00] [indyc]

[Duckxel]

Play on casual mode. Go as slow or fast as you wish! Also, if you are interested, I'm always happy to walk someone through how to minimize the typing even outside of using the Godmode or non-typing modes.





Woah woah woah... If this is true, (that my games are primarily about teasing and denial), then someone needs to explain to me because that's not at all how I see it or what I was trying to do.

I've said it a few times before but I played F95zone games years before I ever even stumbled into Milovana. Milovana's super easy to use engine was the only reason I got started creating there. I don't share much in common with what the Milovana community wants especially when you consider how much time I've poured into those games. Keystroke being beat in Tease of the Month polls TWICE by games that took a fraction of the time is also a testament to that. Trials of the Succubi took years more work than anyone else was putting in just to get it to eventually stay in the top 10.

I don't personally like denial that much and think it should be used VERY sparingly and as a surprise. What I DO like making is building up tension and desire over time with that ramping up what you experience as you progress through a game.

If by teasing you mean a lot of softcore stripping that does not end in sex I just thought I was adding in more variety. I also wanted to use those as a tool for the aforementioned softcore to hardcore gradual ramp up.

I kind of always assumed the gradual buildup of sexual desire was something that was nearly universal within most well regarded adult games. It is pretty likely that I am completely misunderstanding the terms and am doing something that is going against expected conceptions in an unintended way.

I've been taking feedback and making game adjustments for over a decade now and it's not often that I get this confused by a consensus - I really think I'm missing something right now. If more than one person tells you that you have an issue they are right.

I don't think I created the best adult games ever nor that I have the skill to pull that off. However, I will stand by the fact that the experiences and the variety I've created through a ridiculous amount of effort are enough to hopefully overlook deficits on the UI/Engine end and that there are worlds of content to go exploring without getting lost or having tons of pointless text/tasks.

Thank you all for trying it and the discussions! I really hope to make this all better!

Your games are like Dark Souls, the first impression is "wtf is this shit, how is this supposed to be played???" then you drop the game and randomly approach it again after some weeks or months out of curiosity because it seemed kinda unique and then you suddenly get it and it becomes one of the best games of all time. That basically happened to me with Trials of the succubi and I really like Keystroke too even though I am a person who likes to go straight for the "good stuff". It is super well paced and presented for this type of content.

i found something pretty interesting (maybe ppl talk about before, i dont have search) but you can use the godmode command everytime to increase file as much you want and strip the girl too (godmode is the news 42 ! )

The game's "adaptive difficulty" just speeds up on perfects (and I think slows down on timeouts), to avoid this you should always leave out the last character or something and hit for 2-point strong inputs instead.

I understand that - the problem is I'm decent at typing and I like playing the game well so I just end up with ridiculously fast time frames. Having to intentionally do poorly in order to avoid an automatic fail due to insufficient time to even complete the task just feels lousy. There should probably be a minimum to it.

This is difficult to respond to without knowing exactly what you're looking for. I certainly tried to kick things off a bit vanilla and ramp up to other things over time. However I'm surprised by this because I consider the end result more foot and non-vanilla centric than the average F95zone game.



Yes this is a terrible engine for a typing game but I was trying (with tons of coding help) to push the engine to it's absolute limits. The keyboard only mode is space to skip dialog, number keys 1-9 to select buttons. It now autofocuses on the typing area. I need to make a new version of the game that has (1) by the options etc but sadly keyboard only mode is only possible in the offline versions. Why did I use the engine? It is the only one that someone with no coding experience understood. Even now I can't get much running in RenPy to save my life.

Regarding the sound, all the effects and music were from royalty free sources that honestly were better than I expected. In fact, I made donations to many of the artists because I thought they were so good.

Yeah, one of the Neon Night's bosses that you are referring to can adjust the volume control, however it should only be the music, not the sound effects. (I thought it was a clever mechanic to play with considering she is a DJ. It's like Chronos from Hades 2 that

At most, I was trying experiment and to give a sense of exploration and discovery. I'm really sad that it landed for you so poorly that you thought I was trolling. I certainly am not. However, it seems like I am clearly missing the mark for you. I never intended it to be for everyone but perhaps I can explain things better for those who wanted to understand the game I've worked so hard on.

The idea that you're trolling starts with, 'the idea to create a porn game that requires two hands was too funny to pass up.'. Then the fact that I turn off the music because it's loud and I don't want to turn down my browser or main volume; as well as the settings don't reduce it far enough without it being off. Then the game says, "What if your settings didn't matter?" and suddenly I'm having to fight against music being blasted in my headphones. The result would be the same if I was playing a RPGmaker game and the boss turns off my Always Dash or Command Remember. I'm not happy because I set that setting for a reason.

When I endure a enemy to see what the results are and it progresses to a point and ends before anything big happens. Then there's full enemies with several more scenes that extend into more scenes and more scenes without being bosses is where I feel also trolled. It's like, "Okay, I'm feeling it, cool away from vanilla sex" and then, bap, back to every enemy that's like 'what if I put your dick in my vagina wouldn't that be hot?'

As for the sounds, easily could be personal preference of I'm never going to be for bit crushed sound effects. Maybe that's not what it sounds like, but it sounds like sound effects I'd hear from Missile Command and Centipede back in the 90's.

This game uses many young(er) and less seen models than 90% of the porn games out there. Making it dependent on 2-handed typing skills, especially GOOD typing skills, makes the whole premise a non-starter for me. The models ALMOST make the d/l worth the effort, but it's just easier to search those models online and watch the full videos. Ashlyn Brooke? ohhhh myyyyyy---
Good luck - but I hope your next game keeps using fresh talent, but doesn't require skills many are physicalli incapable of improving (Disabled Vet)
