Patreon hates lolies, you know that right

No, I wasn't aware i thought that was SS. Would it be possible to not explicitly post that content on patreon?

 

[assc0bar]

They sometimes monitor forums, twitter etc for that type of content.
Also there is Report button for any User who sees "bad" content.
So the moment you add lolicon or shotacon in your project - If your project at least barely popular.
you're fucked.
All credits goto mastercard/visa/paypal who forced these rules.

Long story short, if you plan to use Patreon - dont do loli-shota content. Not worth the high risk.

If I'm not mistaken, they're the ones actively screwing with Japan for this very same thing as we speak, right? I remember the head of Visa or mastercard, that dude that looked like Lex Luthor just publicly bragging about this.

If patreon wasn't run by cowardly people, they would have went the Onlyfans route and refused to enforce those demands. I suppose that it wasn't enough of a chunk for them to care though.

Probably. I wonder if they will ever be pressured to remove the censorship rules?

 

[Lilitas72]

Sorta getting off topic, but I can't say I disagree with not allowing loli/shota stuff. It's kindaaaaaa weeeeeiiiirrrrd how into that people are...

 

[assc0bar]

Hey guys, new demo is out for Patrons!

Changelog so far:
Content update!

-Added Catgirl vs Monk finish loop, shaded and colored, awesome looking one, Cat scene done
-Added Catgirl vs Monk Gameover CG, great one too~

Still working on Bunny mercenary, she should be out next month~
Probably will need some time to finish all her scenes, but she should have at least 40-50% of her content done on release.
If you meet some bug or errors, please let me know! Will try to fix them asap!

Thanks a lot for your support guys, it helps us to progress constantly and add more cool scenes~

Long story short, porn censorship will never be undone because nobody important will risk their position to defend it, and nobody is there to defend it to begin with. It's going to be pushed further and further into a corner until it's one day just gone or outlawed entirely. I honestly expect porn as a whole to be policed one day, and people will be actively convicted for owning/purchasing porn, even if it's of fictitious characters. Their reasoning? A few whackjobs out of millions of porn consumers were too disconnected from reality and did some stupid shit, so in their demented minds the entire porn community is obviously like that so porn bad.


Don't wanna derail this thread anymore so let's go back to talking about the game.

Mega is really inconvenient to use for long downloads because of how it will just stop downloading at random and force you to refresh the site once or several times with the download percentage knocked back down every time, or in Firefox's case you have to download the fucking thing all over again. I really do hope the patreon content like the Raider stuff will get an alternate site to get it from, because Mega sucks. In fact I'm trying to download the raider rewards now after paying for it, and I just can't get the download to finish because of Mega being broken.

Ehh, what else? Going from when I last played this, the gameplay is overall good enough but heroes need to get their min-max damage numbers closer together, because it's very inconvenient to have every non-mana attack to either oneshot the strongest enemy or do half the hp of the weakest mook you're overlevelled for. I understand some damage variety but it's at a really extreme level.

 

[Krinkelz]

Oh man, it's been several years since I last played this. How much content scene wise is there now? Also when can we expect the weregirl x smith to be playable for the free tier?

 

[assc0bar]

>>min-max damage numbers closer together

its currently at 50%-100%, with enemy defenses being flat minus damage.
So if you strike like 10-20 and enemy has 14 def, ye you will hit for 1 on half of your damage rolls.
Should i try to like, increase enemy max hp, and give player higher damage?
In this case Def value will affect it that harshly.
We could also try like 75%-100% instead maaaaybe. But i'm pretty sure 50-100 is standard value for most rpgs?

>>How much content scene wise is there now? Also when can we expect the weregirl x smith to be playable for the free tier?

A lot. We're being close to 80+ cgs and 80+ animations in total.
Yes all "paid" demo version will become public after a bit of time.
This month we'll make 270a public so you probably will get weregirl scene for free this month already

Yeah 50% doesn't feel like it works for this game, and if you're as unlucky as I am that's 90% of all damage rolls while enemies hit 2x harder with little exception to that. The porn rpg should be challenging but not luck-based.

75-100% for player damage would be better, no need to redo all the stats because that'll just have its own downsides. Just need a little bit more consistency with each hit without having to default to mana usage all the time.

I just would like there to be something that explains such stat logic inside a game. Maybe a tooltip when hovering over stats UI. Feels alright to me currently. I'd say I would like to hit enemies for 10%-60% HP when on equal LVL+gear with them. And something that tells intended LVL for a dungeon somewhere, like "Recommended LVL 5+", unless this is already there and I dont remember.

 

[assc0bar]

There is 2 factors which kinda poking me here, first one - i dont want to make fights too long, if player wants to grind (or needs to reach somewhere). Second, if we make fights too short, you wont be able to enjoy lewds
So its kinda hard to find good balance, considering its turn-based fight after all.

 

[Melonsmelons Bigmelons]

Is there any way of moving my teammates around?

Also the NPC and enemies are invisible in this mission

Oh man, it's been several years since I last played this. How much content scene wise is there now? Also when can we expect the weregirl x smith to be playable for the free tier?

Weregirl x smith has been available in version 0.7.266a for a solid 3 months now on itch.io. Thread links are well overdue for an update.

On the subject of combat balance and difficulty, one particular encounter in the mushroom zone sticks out like a sore thumb: the double leech + tall & short mushroom girl encounter. With the dullahan, it's manageable. With just the two standard girls, nigh impossible to defeat. One sex grab on the squishy elf and she's down the the count (in testing this just now, my level 19 elf took a 105 sex crit, equal to 2/3s her total hp, from one of four enemies), followed shortly by catgirl with no hope of out-damaging all 4 monsters. And that's just the first floor version.
If I would suggest 2 resolutions to this and similarly stacked encounters they would be:
1) Have sex attacks run accuracy checks like normal attacks. For people who want sex attacks to trigger as they do now, have the "hentai test" skill set their sex attack accuracy to 100%.
2) More equipment/skills that mitigate sex attack damage (I'm sure you have plans for these in the pipeline, but there's been a dire need for them for some time now. Refer to 105 sex crit mentioned above).

Edit: You can cheese this fight by having the tankier catgirl spam seduce while the elf picks off the horny mushrooms, and while one could argue there's tactical nuance to this method, it just feels like a slightly backwards way to go about it.
