This is slowly turning into a "How to make a video game" discussion page
Is there anything else productive to be talking about? Normally game threads discuss the content of the game, the mechanics, the narrative, and what have you, sadly we haven't seen a substantial release of any new material within these categories for a very long time.

Slowly? We've been talking about game design for like two years now lol

And its not like there's anything to talk about with the game. We've gotten like, an hours worth of content in the last year.
I never really noticed in-depth discussions. Well, to be fair it's not like I monitor this thread

v0.4.2.9 Public Release



Patch Notes
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
For a game where you don't even need to do most of the writing, it amazes me how terribly slow Inno is with the writing. This isn't like any of the other games where you might need to right 20000 words to make a single good sex scene, most of them are like, a couple paragraphs. Yet this is the biggest content update we've gotten in like 9 months.

wait, wait, fucking excuse you? this is the biggest in the last nine months? this? there's nothing here! aside from that one 'raptor-species' inclusion...

looks at previous releases.

well fuck me running it really is. none of this is important. none of it. none of this adds anything anyone wants to the game aside from maybe the bug fixes - few of them that there are. there's nothing here, none of these 'changes' do anything that anyone gives a fuck for. how is this an update?

i know i sound harsher than i usually do - i'm naturally a raging misanthropic asshole and i know it baybeeeee - but seriously Inno what the fuck.

Sweet shit on a stick. What was the point of posting this update when:

A) It wasn't even finished yet. (placeholders, admitting it will be very buggy upon release)

B) It was already late by a week and some how still half-assed which is just... typical Inno, now that I think about it.

C) The only thing it will likely accomplish is fanning the flames of anger from people who still believe there is something worth salvaging in this game, which probably restart the pity party that Inno seems to have going on in her Discord if it died down somewhat during the holidays. Hell, maybe that's what those couple of blindly loyal fans of hers came in here for? They got bored of waiting for an update and tried stirring the pot a bit?

I want to say more, but I am not going to find out if it means downloading and building the damn update will take longer than it will to go through the entirety of the game again. Fuck that. I can do a lot more entertaining stuff instead of that. I could... I don't know? Watch paint dry? Wash my car with a tooth brush and a bucket of my own piss? Wait and see if the stalwart defenders from earlier have anything to say in defense of this update? Maybe I could even shove a broom handle up my ass and jump out of a tree to see if I can fly? The options are almost endless at this point.

To whomever is the brave/bored/spiteful soul that is going to trudge through this update to see five minutes worth of new content; be sure to tell us how the new dating sim compares to the last one we got with Nyan... or at least with the portion that isn't still filled in with placeholders.

You go chill at a spa and can fuck the masseuse, from a choice of one of three sheep girls or the owner. That's about it, really.
I mean, that's perfect. She could recycle basically anything spa related from the already existing content saving her time on writing this stuff. She only had like 6 months to work on this, after all.

Why not have a mer-shark in charge of the spa? Or an alligator-morph? Or a serpent-morph? Or anything that isn't covered in floof?
Although it's hard to divinate dev's line of thinking, I'd wager it was like this:
Elis and it's area are supposed to be populated by rural species. So, ideally, every one of them should be represented in some sort of way. Spa was added and a sheep was thrown in charge of the spa for diversity sake.
Why not make sheep to be in charge of some weaving enterprise? Because fuck you and the concussion you get by slipping on wet wool. Or because weaving mill sounds less lewd than a spa. Or because sheep in this universe do not shed fur. Who knows?

In my limited understanding of how it goes in porn games, each species usually follows a stereotype.

Sheep anthros are usually seen as meek and soft and that makes them stand out as caring, innocent and affectionate beings. Their fluffy wool makes them cushy and cuddly, which are traits usually associated with comfort. A spa is supposed to be a place of relaxation and comfort, like being wrapped in a warm, fluffy cloud (like wool).

In reality, a sheep's wool is rarely clean so you wouldn't want to touch it all that much. Different species have different types of wool, some softer than others. Some people actually dislike touching them, saying it's icky. The wool on a sheep has a different feel to it from the wool of your clothes; it has been cleaned and treated to be worn.

But this is videogame logic.

DISCLAIMER: I haven't played the new version yet. I'm just making assumptions on what was Inno's logic for choosing a sheep.

Yes, this is probably it.

In reality, a sheep's wool is rarely clean so you wouldn't want to touch it all that much. Different species have different types of wool, some softer than others. Some people actually dislike touching them, saying it's icky. The wool on a sheep has a different feel to it from the wool of your clothes; it has been cleaned and treated to be worn.
The "icky" feel of raw wool is due to a waxy substance called lanolin that permeates it. It's often used in skin moisturisers. It also makes raw wool quite waterproof. Outer garments made of raw wool have been used in many cultures for just this property. It's also generally only the outer layer of wool that's dirty. The lanolin and the sheer density of the wool keep the inner layers relatively clean. And there aren't different "species" of sheep: "sheep" is the species. You're talking about subspecies or breeds.

There is, in addition, a completely innocent and non-sexual reason that I know all of that.

Ahem.

Personally, I could see a sheep-morph running a beauty parlour. Perhaps with a side-business in gentle sissification/bimbofication? Think frills and ribbons: a nursery-rhyme shepherdess. Maybe not-so-gentle if the business is actually owned by a pack of dominant wolves (or corrupt sheepdogs) ready to exploit the vulnerabilities of the helpless sluts the business gives them access to.

And maybe also ready to accept a new business partner, freshly arrived from Dominion with money to burn.

How does that stack up against "another spa" as an idea?

Either that or some Patron/Moderator that has sunk a ton of time and cash into Inno's Patreon and Discord have finally had their self-insert/personal request added.
