Ren'Py Parasite Black [Steam Demo v0.154] [Damned Studios]

[jamesdavis]

Can you please tell me if there is a goblin girl in this game that you can have an affair with?

The other guy acted like you couldn't yet but you can have sex with the goblin girl. You can even knock her up and then see the goblin baby afterwards. Pretty wholesome.

Just got to the callie scene and it is weirdly drawn. She is sitting on the bed while you are standing next to it and it looks like the bed is positioned vertically, it's a very weird look.

Otherwise awesome game.

Where do I enter cheats?

Where do I enter cheats?

On the left side of the Options screen (under the section 'Other'), there's a button marked 'Enter Cheat Code' (a light jingle will sound when the code is accepted).

Know that ye will need to constantly re-enter the cheat code for the Cheat Menu each time ye load a save (& at random times during scene transitions). Ye will know whether the Cheat Menu is active or not by the small reddish circle icon on the top left of the game screen (on the left of the Dialog History button).

A full walkthrough or a wiki game site would be very helpful, considering a lot of the quests info aren't detailed enough to give precise clues on where to go for the next step. Ye mostly just blindly stumble onto a dialog that triggers the next part of a quest (when a quest has multiple parts, like many of the main & character quests).

Examples: Finding your pet quest (ye have to just blindly go into multiple houses/shops/ect till ye stumble upon dialog that starts the next part of the quest), or the Shared in Thorns quest (a couple parts are easy Library & Vendor, but finding out about the curse says nothing about where to go to trigger that part & I'm stuck on it which means not completing that quest).

Cheat button removed in Steam Demo?

Rollback Patch
Not being able to use rollback is a bit annoying for me in the game, so I've created this patch for anyone who wants to enable it.

"Sister seeing and joining" just like that is REALLY off putting to me. If they gonna make a proper incest route they should avoid such a thing. The chances for a non-blood relative woman to do that is extremely low let along a sister after seeing her brother commiting incest with her mother. A proper incest should have a reason to happen and not just because "fun". Otherwise the whole personality of a character gets thrown away in the bin only so that she can be used in a harem story. IMO things like sister seeing mother and joining in and then the aunt finds out as well and want to join because the more the merrier for the player and the next day your cousin comes into your house and what a shock she wants to be part of your harem too... is just... absolute slaughter of character development and believability of the world and it's set values. It feels cheap and only in service to the player. As a result the main character suffers because he comes out as a moron, a jerk that puts no effort into getting women and the side characters just become another dumb slut in another harem story as if we don't have that already in 80% of porn games.
Wouldn't it be better if we could choose to be with the mother or sister or maybe both but being with each in complete secret? Wouldn't it be better to see how for example a mother and a son that have true feelings for each other try to find a balance between intimacy and secrecy because the society they live in would ostracize them for something it doesn't understand?
Wouldn't it be better if our mother in this game has an agenda of her own, ambitions and we intelligently exploit that into convincing her that we can fulfil her desire in both for power and carnal pleasures? And depending on her personality she can be against her son seeing other women because jelousy and true lust for him OR she can be more practical and be okay with her son seeing other women because she knows that she is getting what she wants from him either way be it power or pleasure when they both feel like it and are alone.

This is something that porn games especially incest ones lack. I don't want another c*nt that only differs in name, i want a person. I want to see their good and evil side. I want them to hunger for power using intrigue and deception.

110% spot on.
This, Devs who are serious about thier work should see & read this comment & so should the fans asking for incest .

I added the rollback patch for 1.53, but rollback does not work. How do i rollback..? and yes, i did as instructions said, but no rollback option is available.

 

[Dranos]

Can confirm there are no cheats in Steam DEMO

 

[TyrTheTaur]

A little confused. Should I download the steam demo or 0.153
?

 

[Ntrsugar]

I tried playing the new steam demo on joiplay but it wouldn't run.

Can anyone help ?

Riddle:
I am not alive, but I grow; I don't have lungs, but I need air; I don't have a mouth, but water kills me. What am I?
The answer is: Fire
But for some reason, the right one is Tree, that must be a bug, right?

Hey guys

Just checking in to let you know progress is going well, we've got some cool stuff to talk about, so let's get right to it!
First and foremost as usual, if you haven't already, please wishlist Parasite Black over on steam! Every wishlist helps! Link to the steam page here:

Now, on all fronts we've been making significant progress. We're in the midst of integrating the new content now we've managed to gather enough of the art to finally start assembling and playtesting it piece by piece.

One cool thing still in the testing stage is the ability to now transform into your parasite form in combat. Your parasite form will have different stats and abilities to your human form.

New artwork and things are still being produced as I write this, as well as new locations the player will be able to explore, check out the samples below:

One of the darker routes involving Mrs Winward and her husband (above)

A new spooky location (above)


Whilst all the new artwork and content isn't quite ready yet, I can safely say (hopefully), this will be one of the biggest, if not the biggest update in terms of changes to the game and such.
While I don't want to give a full estimate release date yet till I'm comfortable, we ARE getting closer, thankfully!

Well, that's all for now,
back to the grindstone we go...

As always,
thank you guys so much for all of your support and patience,
we know this update has taken a lot longer than usual, but we hope the results justify the time,
you guys are awesome
Love,
-The Damned Studios Team

Yep, it's a bug.

Just played the new steam demo.

Here are some observations I made.

• Couldn't actually notice any improvement in the combat system sadly. If anything it seems more cumbersome.
• PLEASE ADD A *SKIP* BUTTON it's really, really needed.
• I don't want to be that guy and it's just my opinion but , I feel the character models are really amazing and gorgeous so it really irritates me when the sex scenes don't make use these gorgeous 2D models and instead shift to totally different 2.5D art which although has improved but still isn't close to the 2D art of the models.
Why put more energy into the sex scenes just to have them hardly resemble thier own character models of the 2d sprites ?

These have been some of my Crticial observation.
There has been some great improvement into the finish and art of the game which is commendable but I focused more on the shortcomings for obvious reasons.

Love the game & all the best.

 

[Ntrsugar]

Another tidbit but makes a huge difference.
The facial features of the models are too clean .
No frickels, no wrinkles, no nothing.
It's make them all look young and the same age.

If some touch-ups could be done to the faces it would add such a character to the models & potray thier age .

• PLEASE ADD A *SKIP* BUTTON it's really, really needed.

It is possible to skip but ir's a bit hidden option. Enable it in the menu options and press Control during the game.
A visible button would be nice however

I feel the character models are really amazing and gorgeous so it really irritates me when the sex scenes don't make use these gorgeous 2D models and instead shift to totally different 2.5D art

I guess that inconsistent art style in the scenes is the result of different artists coming and leaving in the project. If it's really so then not much can be done about it, I'm afraid. But I would like to hear the official story.
