Java Lilith's Throne [v0.4.10.7 Hotfix] [Innoxia]

[Fuzzcat]

I should mention, I'm not even super hard following this game or upset or anything, I just find the situation interesting.
*snip*

I liked your comment, and agree with most of it except:

Some Devs are douchebags, and can get by with it.
Or, instead of douchebags, they're pretty petty or can't take a critic (a real critic, constructive and precise, without any trolling intention)... and still can be successful.
Once the game is established, you can be a total jerk, and it'll only make you more popular.
Inno is at that point. If out of the blue, she decides to start being nasty, her followers will laugh and applaud, and more trolls will come looking to pick a fight, which will actually just attract more people.

The thing is, I really doubt she is doing it on purpose.
Or yes, she's doing it. But not because she's a a malevolent machiavelic villain.
Some people simply can't say "no".
Look at earlier posts in her blog, and you'll see that back then, when she was actualy reading adn answering, everything that people asked it was somehow implemented, or she tried.
I think that's what's happening now: somebody says "I want more boring-overdone catgirl stuff"* and she goes with it. Somebody says there aren't enough girly dresses, and she adds more.

She simply can't say "no more extras, I need to move forward".

Also, there's actually a syndrome which I don't recall the name, that basically makes you miss deadlines, times, etc. (no kidding!)
Note how she always expects this and that done in this or that time -probably because she actually can-, but somehow there's always something delaying the thing.
Again, I practically see everything she does as a reflection of what I did in my youth.
(no, I'm not a internet weirdo with some sort of porn/infatuation with her lol.
I really mean it, out of empathy)

 

[The Shining 'Finger']

Memes aside, my thoughts are as follows.

What is the language that she is using and why is it taking ridiculously long in refactoring the existing code? Is she rewriting it? Is it not knowing how to continue the story? Is it the problem with not understanding the existing code since she claims that she's a beginner?

People are starting to see that Inno's just winging the whole process. The whole situation is just interesting and baffling at the same time. It can't be that releases that contains patches with minimal content over the past 2 years take so long. I have no issues with Inno going at it on his/her own and more power to him/her. However, if this is going to take so long I think it's time to actually seek help and don't blindside the people that actually pay. It just ain't right.

Fair warning: you're going to fill up the game with NPCs and it's going to get slow.

 

[Carl0sDanger]

As there been any info if it will be re-added?

Cuz I really liked having the ability of having customized companions

You can still customise your Elemental companion. Much more easily than most NPCs.

I personally go for a Fire Elemental Catte-boi who I've named "Teaser the Firecat". TBH, a Earth Elemental is probably more optimised, but I like the name.

Apparently, having to code every scene accounting for, "What if the MC has a companion?" was making things take too long. Which would be a lot more plausible if development of new content hadn't screeched to a complete stop once Inno implemented this change.

LT players: Expects development will pick up speed after companions are dropped.

Inno: Subvert expectations

But, to be harsh, she really needs to pull up her game (literally speaking).
The worst and best thing somebody said to me, was from a comic book writer:
"man, you can draw like hell, but when it takes months to complete a couple pages, all your skill loses it's value".

This! I said the same thing in my review: What the game is most lacking is content, not engine features. And it's been like that for years. The two other major flaws are the sex interface and the complete lack of item-balancing. So my advice would be:

1. Fix the sex-UI. Right now it's like trying to fly a fighter jet with gameboy controls. One simple way to make it "good enough" would be, to move all positioning-control into a seperate and custom button-bar, that uses icons to quickly switch positions and assign actors. This alone would remove a lot of clutter from the standard button-pad, while making position-changes fast and easy. Yes, it still wouldn't be perfect, but likely good enough, and it should be doable in one month.

2. Go through all the clothing-items and give them some simple consistent stats. Doesn't need to be perfect: You can use simple rule thumb logic, like "Thongs and other minimal pieces of clothing get 1 physical resistance. Stuff like gloves get 2 and large pieces like jackets and coats get 3-4". Use similiar rules of thumb for other stats. Again: It wouldn't be perfect, but far better than now, and it could done and tested in just a single week.

3. Now stop working on the engine, bodyparts and items and crap! Just assume "This is what i got to work with, now how can build a world and story from those parts?". No, no going back and making custom code for everything: Take the building blocks you have and make a fucking game with it!

Yeah its call the Spoony syndrome (Only real Gs will get this reference) It means he is "taking his time" taking your money. This game will never get new areas, the main quest will never continue, and simps will lose their money.

yeah the "simps" are into not mainstream content so this is what they have unfortunately. go play degrees of lewdity by vrelnir, girl life by Kevin smarts and the tfgamesite
also the word simp has lost all meaning to me
edit correction to the correct name thank you Engelstein for helping my dumbass out

I can always shoo randoms til' my kids are the ones left in this domain, yes that can be a good plan too

tfgboard?

[borednow]

would it be possible to mod condoms so they break based off a percentage chance rather than cum capacity? At the moment the condom mechanic seems pointless as some characters will always break them while others never will, I was wanting it so generic have a 10% chance and stallions have a 1% chance to break regardless of volume contained.

You can still have a elemental, but I very much doubt companions will make it back in the game. It added a ton of extra writing that was needed and was a hinder to developing new quests and scenarios. It's a bit disappointing but understandable.

 

[FruitSmoothie]

The game just overall doesn't seem balanced for companions either. The summons become OP way too fast. I imagine the companions were similar. Well, even the single player combat wasn't balanced, but at least it was manageable.

I'm saying that this will make the game run really slow.

I'm not saying don't do it though. Let us know if you can actually fill every Dominion tile with offspring. I know I'd be impressed.

'tiz fine, I'm playing on win 7 and it's been slow from start to finish, I'm used to it...

A'ight then, Breeding frenzy will start!!!
Also, I don't know what the offspring map does since it's still the same thing on my map sooo it feels like I wasted 50k

The offspring map is a usable item; doesn't do anything to your map. Find an empty alley/waterway in dominion or submission and "use" it from your inventory to spawn one of your kids.

Oh, I thought it's like a map upgrade...

Just took a look a tfgamesite.
Thanks for introducing me to the place!

Missing options from Coverings?
Can't find any anus options for example. What's up with that? Bug?
