Battle damage and a rudimentary gallery mode just got implemented!
You got an instant supporter here. Really like the game so far, even though there is not much content at the moment. Especially like the H-scene (even with all the QTE). I do think your approach of keeping the QTE but making it simpler was great. With the Gallery-mode, people can still focus on "game play" during the sex scene and enjoy it later if they need a quick fap. Who know, may be later on you can implement something like if you do really well with QTE in the H-mode you can gain additional affection point or something to make it feel more rewarding. Heck, the QTE could also change depend on the H-event or character (less time, less pink heart's radius, etc. when the girl is mad at you or something).
As this is still a game in early developing state and it's being support through patreon, I'm just hope that you can stay true to your original design/intent of the game. As with any open support game there will be a lot of different opinion on how the game should be and what content to be in the game. Heck, just in this forum alone there was already a few different opinion on what content could be in the game and the whole QTE stuffs. Taking in constructive criticism and improve upon it is fine (like the early QTE events where many people was bitching about it) but it shouldn't dictate how you make your game (Hell, I like myself some corruption content as much as the next guy and would have no issue seeing in the game but that doesn't mean it should be in the game just because of that). I had seen a lot of time, creator just add different content/fetishes to their game just to please a portion of their fan base or trying to gain more fan. Not only it could easily overwhelm you (now that you need to support that content and it might piss off another portion of the fan base so now you need to find a way to please both) it could also make you lose interest in your game quickly since now it becoming just a thing you do just to make money and to appease the fan instead of something you genuinely want to make.

Will there be a gallery to watch the h scenes without the qte events after completing the game? and if there is will there be ways to adjust the speed and the climax in it kinda like say the koooonsoft games?

Thanks
I definitely want to add more graduated success conditions for the hscenes later - I actually want a failure condition for if you do REALLY badly too, but it hasn't been tested yet. It would be pretty boring to play the exact same h-scene for every character and every scene, so I agree with mixing up the parameters and maybe behavior for each hscene a little. Also, I don't know if you caught it, but Amelia's relationship gets one or two hearts at the end of the demo depending on whether you came inside/outside, too.And thanks, I'll take that advice. Coming from a background of working in creative teams with a lot of voices, this is something I'm ready to face, hopefully.
The decensor is available for $1 tier patrons.
As of yesterday, this is already implemented in a bleeding-edge build for certain patrons. Will be rolled out on February's update for public builds.

What?! I didn't even know you could cum inside. Was so disappointed when I got the pull out option. Dammit! That's one QTE I should've failed. :'(
This is seriously impressive for a first demo, good job. If the full game manages to live up to the standard set by this demo, it'll be fantastic.
A few points:
Once again, this demo is fucking great. If every H-game, hell every game in general, had a demo this good, the industry would be in a much better place.
Thank you for your work, and I genuinely look forward to playing the full thing!
A few points:
- A bug: pausing after defeating the final wave doesn't actually pause the action - if you're still paused when the Victory screen comes up, your controls cease working, effectively softlocking the game.
- The sex scenes were good and I personally enjoyed their gameplay (although toning it down wouldn't ruin it or anything), BUT the sex SFX seemed a bit loud compared to the rest of the game? Maybe it's just me.
- The combat seems a little easy, to me (using a controller, at least)? I see that some people in this thread had trouble with it. But for me, the combination of the dash (which seems overpowered, frankly) and the autotracking heavy attacks that stun all enemies in an aoe made short work of everything in the demo. I realise of course that this is a demo, that the full game will probably have more combat options/varied enemy types (she mentions not having access to guns) and that it being a porn game it's unlikely that your audience will want to play a game on Non-Stop Infinite Climax difficulty to the get the sex scenes, so this isn't a huge problem in the end. But some difficulty options in the full thing would certainly be appreciated.
- With regards to the commander: is he going to be "Commander" the whole game, or does he get a name? If he does get a name, I'd personally strongly prefer it if the player got to choose the name, but again that's just my preference and it's your game. (Just having him called "Commander" is fine too!)
Once again, this demo is fucking great. If every H-game, hell every game in general, had a demo this good, the industry would be in a much better place.

Thanks for the feedback!
-The victory screen bug is known, but this actually gets me one step closer to figuring out what's causing it. Thank you!
-ALL the sound in the game (except the battle BGM in the latest bleeding build) are placeholder. They will all get a polish pass as part of the next milestone. Fine-tuning the mixing will be a part of that sound pass. (More details about the upcoming milestone will come soon, I'm shoulder-deep in the Combat Transformation system right now)
-It's hard to completely balance the game without all the combat mechanics, so balance will be ongoing. Difficulty levels add a lot of additional balance time, so if there's time to do it, it will come some time after the global combat mechanics are complete. I do agree about the dash, though. The parameters / behavior gets tweaked a little bit every version, so I'm sure it'll get there eventually.
-I've been talking to Inkrot (writer) about this, but it's still undetermined what we want to do in regards to his name. I know we don't want people to always call him 'Commander', though. If we get voice acting down the line, it affects that too, so it's not something we want to rush in and decide right away. Maybe the VA always say 'Commander', but the words read a custom name, or they try to avoid saying his name altogether (Persona-style). Not sure yet!
I think that being able to choose the commanders name is a must, but not only that will there be a option to unlock bonus costumes or just being able to edit the clothing the girls wear?

Personally, if you're gonna have voice acting then I'd rather he have a canon name. Never like it when RPGs have voice acting but you can pick the protagonist's name. It's so dumb to me when everyone just avoids calling them by name, and use pronouns like ''you'' and ''him'' instead, or a nickname or whatever. You mentioned Persona. FFX is another good example.
But that's just me, I guess. I was never big on naming protagonists in RPGs anyway. Voice acting or not. Always just used the default name.

Tentative plans for Commander's name: As the protagonist's name doesn't affect gameplay nor the overall core experience of the game that much mechanically, I'll ask Inkrot what he wants to do. If he believes the story will be stronger with a name, we'll go with a canon name - if Inkrot is ambivalent on the matter, I'll put up a poll sometime in the future. It's not a decision we should rush into even though it doesn't affect the gameplay, so please hang on a bit. I'm sorry I don't have a solid answer for that yet!
We don't have a paperdoll-style character customization system for gameplay / silhouette reasons, so swapping out pieces of clothing will not be supported, unfortunately.
I'd give every character overwatch-style skins if there's enough budget.

It's interesting to see so much constructive feedback in here. Definitely shows that people are liking the demo!

Game looks interesting but too bad that probably there won't be any uncensored build leaks for it for obvious reasons :test:
From the trailer saw one thing that could be improved , that being the sliding while attacking and moving at the same time
Havent played the demo yet but i can already say it's a :FeelsGoodMan:clap game

I posted a big status update with our immediate plans for the next couple months on Patreon (public post). It's really long so I'll link it instead of pasting a wall of text:
It includes a live google spreadsheet you can take a look at if you want to track our progress towards the milestones, too. I realize it's a lot of info, so let me know if you have any questions!
Also be aware that this isn't a tasklist, there's a bunch of other tasks like balancing and assets that are not on the document for the milestone. The document is just a high level overview of what features are required for them.
