Is there anywhere where Inoxxia puts their betas/release candidates for us to try? I find it hard to believe that 4.4 is so broken it's still in an un-releasable state
The preview builds that are compilable from the "dev-build" repository is all that the public eye gets.Is there anywhere where Inoxxia puts their betas/release candidates for us to try? I find it hard to believe that 4.4 is so broken it's still in an un-releasable state
The game comes in two versions; "free" and "preview" builds.Is there anywhere where Inoxxia puts their betas/release candidates for us to try? I find it hard to believe that 4.4 is so broken it's still in an un-releasable state
Thank you for your extremely detailed write up.I regret to inform that not a whole lot has been added since then. The Fields (next major area) was promised back in 2018 but only came to fruition last year, as a result of Inno's procrastination and tendency to get getting distracted by side-content (some of which was unplanned) and minor NPCs. The companion system was abandoned (you can still enable it, though at your own peril). I made a post about what was really done over the years (though I didn't continue past 2021). You can see it here.
i...you might wanna rethink that sentence, because last i recall a month is universally acknowledged as being four weeks long. so using this logic it's already been a month of silence we're moving into the fifth week of it.Here we go, week #4. We're only one more away from a whole month of radio silence. Let's see how high this'll ride!
Of all the things to be changed or removed, this is the one that hurts me the most. There is so, so, so much depth to be had (at least in relativity to everything else in the game) with companions. You could make an ultra slutty character and then make your partner a prude who is dragged into sex with you. You could make a weak character that's protected by a sexually dominant bodyguard. You could put a femboy in a chastity cage and let your companion have all the sex instead. You could cover your companion in piercings and disparaging tattoos and parade them around town like a trashy fuckdoll. The list goes on and on, and seems to only be limited by your imagination and perversion.The companion system was abandoned (you can still enable it, though at your own peril).

Now it's slowly becoming less and less relevant. You can't give enforcers up to your companion, or vice versa. Hell, they can't even participate! It sucks, and the fact that updates were once weekly and full of at least some kind of content once or twice a month, now she's just spamming excuses, and only once a month. It reads like lip service.
I think it depends on ur gaming rig and ur playstyle, on my "normal" playthroughs i also rarely encountered any lag but i definitely felt my pc struggled a little when i did my breeding playthroughAm I the only person who has almost no technical issue with this game? It has never run slow for me, even after completing the story and having 10+ children and several slaves. On top of that, I always run with companions activated.

It largely depends on how often you breed and how many alley tiles are filled. Basically, the more active NPCs there are in the world the more work the game has to do every time you move between tiles or loiter.Am I the only person who has almost no technical issue with this game?

Oh yeah. The game absolutely thrashes memory when there are a lot of NPCs (we're talking a couple dozen gigabytes of allocations and deallocations per turn). The amount of impact it will make is highly dependent on your PC.But what ppl (that understand coding) shows concern about isn't exactly the slowdown, it's that the code is apparently so inefficiently written that it creates performance leak issue
This was the main draw of the game for me too. If it gets to the point where you can't get away with enabling the feature and just dodging the couple of bugs that result from using it, I don't know. Being able to make your custom NPCs and have them roam the house is mildly entertaining in small doses, I guess? But they don't really do anything worthwhile since with even modest income you run out of anything worth buying very easily.Of all the things to be changed or removed, this is the one that hurts me the most.

You're out of luck. Games like TITS and COC rely on hand-written sex scenes, which are better in a sense, but also a bit of a one-trick pony. Those games don't really acknowledge most of your character's modifications either, simply because it would take too much work to write a sex scene while also taking into account every variable the game allows.My biggest issue with the game is the fact that it's a text based game, but almost no new stuff have been added in sex scenes. I would just like to have more than two different texts for a scene. I feel like this would be a relatively easy thing to add as well. No coding, just write some extra stuff. But what do I know, I'm no game dev.
The problem with LT's approach is that she gave up on writing and clearly hates it now. Hence why everything goes to shit anytime she has to write anything.You're out of luck.

LT traded quality for more generic but flexible scenes. In theory, the entertainment should last you longer but only if you rely on your imagination get any enjoyment out of it. The longer you play it more likely you are to notice the repetitiveness of it all. If you're not big on the imagination department then this game will feel lacking, worse even, than any game with careful, thought-out scenes.
Once the proper framework for sex scenes and NPCs is done, we may see more content in either direction. Until then, we're left with the "placeholder" feel.
Because you're playing as a trap.Why are stockings, pantyhose, and flats part of the wardrobe during the prologue when I'm playing as a trap character?
The clothing you get in the prologue is dictated by how feminine/androgynous/masculine your character looks. If you're playing as a femboy or trap, the clothing you will get will reflect that.Why are stockings, pantyhose, and flats part of the wardrobe during the prologue when I'm playing as a trap character?
Weirdly enough my computer doesn't lag hard even after playing the game for hours ... provided I'm using the .exe version. If I use the .jar version, I was forced to save and reload every half hour or else my game starts to slow down drastically ( and I don't have many companions, actively erase any NPC on an overworld tile, have no childrens and leave items on the ground for only 2 rooms in the entire world ). Tested this a few versions back about 2-3 months ago but I doubt this changed much nowadays.I think it depends on ur gaming rig and ur playstyle, on my "normal" playthroughs i also rarely encountered any lag but i definitely felt my pc struggled a little when i did my breeding playthrough

The only difference between the two is that the EXE version bundles the Java 8 runtime and appears to allocate a larger memory pool by default (which can be accomplished by passing theSo it seems like the .jar version is a mess of resource leak while the executable has a way to efficiently deal with this problem. More of a reason to wait for official updates instead where the .exe is provided.
Xmx
parameter to Java). The same code is being executed in both circumstances, it's just that one just has a larger chunk of memory to flail around in by default.
