Others Last Man + Countdown DLC [v4.24] [Vortex Cannon Ent.]

[seitu]

Dasha is not random. She will contact you if she are interested in you. The game has several options how to raise her Love Points. And she can not be missed. Even if you refuse to go to her, then you can do it later.

i restarted a lot of time the day after meet her
1st time, I buy flowers, she sent me 1 SMS...2nd time, I buy flowers + jewels, 0 SMS...3rd time, buy nothing, 2 SMS
Natasha: spawn in warehouse, but I had only 24A because of Dasha RNG 3rd SMS....rollback, same path, never seen Natasha again

You do not need to restart the game at all. You will see all the scenes with her during the game in any case.

Okay, let me explain. Dasha has a certain interest in our hero. From time to time she will invite him for sex. If you give her gifts, then her interest will go up, but that does not mean she will immediately call you to have sex just because of sweets Everything is like in life. Just continue your quests or send her more gifts.
But even if you are unlucky and she does not want to see you, it does not affect the storyline with Natasha. You will receive all the quests, regardless of your Alpha Points.

this game is not shit, but I agree it's completely RNG
if you miss 1 event, you'll be stuck in main story and need to restart again
best example: Dasha random SMS, a very high chance to miss 3rd SMS and miss +1A that is very important with Natasha (if she'll appear fo course )

That's why I said it's "kinda shit" which is just my way of saying it has issues that I don't like. That is, of course, my opinion. It is not a fact. It is not an unequivocal truth. It is just my opinion. Like I said, it looks nice, has a nice interface, doesn't have any bugs... that I've seen at least, but for me the drawbacks outweigh the positives. Again, that's my opinion. *shrugs*

Also @vortexcannon I don't shit in my pants but I do shit a lot. At least once a day. :tf:

The game is made so that you see 100% of the content, it just might get in a different order.

This is blatantly inaccurate as I, and other people who don't pay for premium or whatever you call it, can't go to the gambling hall at all. AT ALL. Not that it matters, just pointing out that your response on that issue is bs since I can't see whatever content is locked behind that paywall.

This is a game, and it should be a bit difficult. Random does not affect the main quests at all.

I have no problem with difficulty, I do so like a challenge. However, there is difficult and then there is bad design. As far as I'm concerned, your quest setup falls into the bad design category as the game isn't difficult. It's point and click, get lucky or don't, and then wait as it arbitrarily cuts the player off. I can direct you to some difficult games around here, yours isn't one of them. Frustrating does not necessarily equal "difficult".

Zero farm. Just click on the pictures with naked girls to get money. 100% chance of winning in casino, or any other money events.

This is also blatantly false. I don't know how the gambling hall works but as far as the casino goes it is possible to actually LOSE money as opposed to gaining money. I have literally played the game and left with less money than I started with. RNG does not equate to no farming, or the player always winning. It's not a "win" if I start with 10000 but leave with 8000.

There are no such events in the game. You can not miss anything important, since the game offers important quests several times.

I don't know how true that is, you're the dev of the game, not me. But based on your previous responses and the incorrectness therein, I'm going to have to call bs on this as well. I do know that if the player doesn't have enough attitude/alpha/whatever points, it IS possible to miss events. Whether they'll pop up later or not I can't comment on. But even if they do pop up later, if the player doesn't have the points then they will still miss the events.

If all the events with the girl have ended, the game suggests spending the night in another place to support the storyline. Is it hard to understand?

Sure, I get that. However, you made a game dependent on hearts/energy but then you pigeon hole the player into sleeping in places that gimp the players ability to regain hearts/energy (without the use of Fuse or canned food). For example, so far as I know, on the second map where the player ends up after being chased out the first location. After you parley with all the females on that map, the only place for the player to sleep in is the hovel, which at most only gives the player 3 hearts/energy back after waking up and ALWAYS leaves the player hungry. The only option the player has if they want to regain full energy is to travel to the first location and sleep in the new house. But that's a waste if I want to do something on the other map, such as cutting wood for money, because as I said, the casino isn't always a viable way to raise money and can cause the player to lose money instead. I had to repeatedly explore the city in hopes of increasing my break in order to "hack" bank vaults to get money, which is how I ran out of time on my last playthrough.

Do you even understand how your game works? I'm sure you do, I hope so at least, and I'm sure you probably know "tricks" that can would make the game seem like cake. But as a player, not a dev, I didn't make the game, I don't know what you know, and based on my experience, the game is seriously flawed in many aspects.

@Carmen Sandiego
All that you write is just your impressions of the game, and I can not argue with the fact that you might not like the game. It really is not ideal in many places, and I constantly work on its improvement. The game has dozens of storylines, and I constantly correct them so they lined up correctly by the end of the game. And it's not easy.

But in many points you are mistaken. The game can be passed without cheats and restarts, with at least 95% complete state. If you play carefully, and read what npc say, then you will know how to receive a lot of canned food and drinks for free, so that the hero is always full. If your hero hungry - you should always eat, as hungry hero always loses double of action points for every action. Again you can't lose in casino, look at win rate - "if random(100) < 80 then win;". Missed Alpha Points never block any quests. And if you do not have enough other parameters of the hero, then you can always return there later. Etc Etc.

I just do not see the point in arguing. If you do not like a certain moment, then you can write about it and I will correct it. But if you write that the whole game is shit, then this is not a constructive criticism, but a simple hate.

I finished all days, but Natasha didn't spawned in Warehouse

Indeed, they are just my impressions/opinions, and I get overly passionate about things as I too develop games. I hope you continue to develop your game, I know it's not easy, and truly wish you nothing but success. As I said initially, I like how the game looks, I just have a few problems with it. But as you pointed out, those are my impressions and other people might not agree.

I'll ignore the alpha points because I could very well be completely wrong about that, buuuut, as far as the casino goes, it is still possible to have a net negative when playing. I'm not saying the player should have a 100% chance to win the bet but you might want to rethink asking the player for 100 grand for the... Pink Rhino? quest because that's a lot of mf money to get. Why do they even need money anyway? Where does it go? What are the people that end up with it doing with it? It's a post apocalyptic environment, who would really care about money that should technically have no value. Just curious.

Calling the game shit because it had inconveniences is way too harsh. And you didn't need to be so condescending to voice your criticism on the game.

Last Man 2.15 Beta

Added the end of the scene with Diana, which did not get into the last build. On this scene the story arc about acquaintance with Diana – finished. At the moment, all flashbacks with her you can watch at any day of the game, when an invitation to her start working in the first city. In the coming updates, I’ll combine them with the main storyline, and this flashbacks will be located in the first part of the game.

In this build, serious work has been done on the inside mechanics of the game. The 7th day of the game was completely rewritten. Slightly changed the answers options. The internal mechanics of the quests for Katya, about which the hero often speaks that day. Some scenes with Masha and Oksana were updated. If you have already passed these events, then you do not need to replay them. It will not bring you the new experience or bonuses, I just transfer the obsolete scenes to a new engine. This will help launch a new quest system in the game soon.

In addition, the code of the hero’s inventory was updated, the work of city maps was improved. Changed some notes in the game. Due to changes, older versions of the game are no longer supported and all of them are disabled. If you use one of them, then you need to upgrade.

Very good game... Vortexcannon... Keep going..

 

[Astriedax]

Well, I can't play the current version, since it requires to have an account.

I've played older versions, some scenes are extremely easy to be missed and never show up again. I remember one scene with 2 milfs that I did everything correctly, but didn't had enough alpha points, leading to not see it, until I've restarted the game and acquired ALL alpha points ever possible to be acquire (which some are easily missable let me tell you.).
I guess another example would be from the very start, on that date, which IIRC it requires a monetary investment to unlock it. First time I didn't invested the money, resulting into missing the whole scene.

The game is filled with these type of occurances. I don't know whom the dev is trying to fool here... Either someone has to play with a walkthrough, or it's very likely to miss some content on the first playthough, mainly due the time limit which forces the player to rush.

Overall it's not the worst game that I've played, for real women pictures that is, but meh... There's better porn games out there, when it comes from writting quality or fetish implementation (for me at least). It's a pass for me.

Last Man 2.16 Beta

In this update, finally, we return to our hero and the storyline with the New Post. Let me remind you that Julia solved the problem with the head of the Dorm and you could get their documents. After learning the papers, you discover that there are hidden storages in the city with supplies and we are sent to explore them. To start the event, you just need to return to Leesburg and Julia will contact you if you have completed all of her previous tasks.

Also, some of the old New Post events were updated, so that they are better intertwined with side storylines.

Updated the album of the game. If you have passed all the current events with Diana, they will be displayed in the Album.

Some corrections were made to the UI games, the work of city maps and minor bugs fixed.

I've backed this game for probably the better part of a year now but haven't played for most of that year since I feel uncomfortable allowing indie porn games to phone home. I'd happily play a several-month old build if I could play without the online requirement, not sure if that will ever be an option, though.

 

[Carmen Sandiego]

Ok, so I decided to try this game again, against my better judgement, because I do genuinely want to enjoy the game. It has a lot of content and the game is updated frequently, those are some good selling points when considering many ero games in dev have minimal content and monthly updates... then get abandoned. But whatever, that's a whole other issue.

Anyway, I tried the game again and I tried to follow the posted walkthrough as closely as I could since it's essentially impossible to follow it exactly due to some of the content being changed. Taking into account my previous experience with the game (I played it all the way to day 89) and the experience I just had (I quit at day 49), I've gotta say, the game isn't shit but it's really not that good either. It could be, it could be one of the best ero games out right now, but it fucks up in so many ways that it's honestly both depressing and infuriating.

As other people have pointed out, the game is totally dependent on alpha points and if you miss one point, you'll find yourself in a hole that's impossible to climb out of for the rest of the game and you WILL miss content from that point on. The first time I played the game I missed so much shit it's laughable. I mean I'm replaying it and thinking to myself, "What the hell, was that always in the game? I missed the shit out of that the first time! How did I even fucking miss that?" The dev has said numerous times that you can't miss content, you can go back and see it later. That is a bold face fucking lie, unless by later the dev means on a completely different save.

When I stopped this time I had 24 alpha points (I missed one point from Lilu before the player leaves the first town and even though the dialogue could fit anywhere in the game it never appears again), the next event I'm at needs 25 for me to see all the content so I loaded the day over and looked all over the game to try and find another alpha point somewhere. Not possible. The points are built in at certain spots in the game and if you somehow miss it, you're fucked. The dev says it's possible to get 100% completion without a walkthrough, and sure that's theoretically possible. Then again, it's also possible for me to go play the lottery and win a few million. How likely is that to happen tho? There should be more alpha points than the player actually needs to have so that even if the player misses a few they can still have a chance to see all the content. There should also be a counter that tells how many alpha points the player has had a chance to get, not just how many they have, so once you see you miss one you can just fucking quit or restart because there is really no point in playing unless you get every alpha point. Unless you just want to miss content.

But aside from the alpha point bs, why-in-the-fuck-does-the-talk-button-keep-fucking-moving? You'll click talk, it'll be on the far left, then it'll move to the far right, then the middle, then back to the far left... why? I can understand when there are multiple buttons but when there is only one choice, why the fuck are you making the player chase the damn button down? That shit is SUPER annoying. Put the damn button in one spot and keep it there, how fucking hard is that to do? I've seen people post that the dev designed the game to be as annoying as possible for the player and I'm honestly inclined to agree.

I'll completely ignore the fact that you have to login to play it. But you can't effectively, keyword being effectively, play the game without a walkthrough. The talk button harasses you. The rng harasses you. Speaking of, why do some of the bank vaults require 15+ break to open? Realistically speaking, how many players are going to have a break that high? You only have like 5-7, tops, break points distributed from the story (up to the point I was at) whereas the rest are completely fucking random to get. I want to like this game, I really fucking do, but the damn game is fucking unforgiving. It demands perfection in a way that isn't really logical for players and if the player doesn't play it perfectly then the game give the player a giant fuck you. If you're going to design the game in such a way, you should offer the damn walkthrough for free. I get the cheats, fine make people pay for the cheats (still a dick move btw) but the walkthrough should be free. That's just my opinion though.

 

[Sacrificed]

I have a simple question about this "being online" situation. I don't have problem with it, and I even have an account. But I usually don't have internet at home. Does this game really need us to be online? It didn't have to before? I am not complaining just because of it's nonsense, I am complaining because I do not have internet at home. I really like this game actually.

I have other option to offer:

When you release the new patch, just make old one's playable offline?

For example: You released 2.16 now.. Then make the old one (2.15 or even 2.10, doesn't matter that much) playable offline?

Give me one good reason this is nonsense ? I'm telling you again, I don't have problem about being online, I just don't have internet

 

[vortexcannon]

When you release the new patch, just make old one's playable offline?

Already a year and a half as I do online games only. Part of the mechanics of Last Man is placed on the server, so I can make corrections to the game without reuploading the client. Therefore, the game can not work without this data offline.
And I plan to expand online functionality, for example, players could attack each other's Hero Bases in Last Man. This will make the games more interesting.
All 4 of my games work on the same server and you need one account for all games.

I bet that you regularly register on different sites. I do not see a problem with that.
It takes less time than you spent writing your comment

Sure but it's one more site that might sell the information/get hacked or what have you.
