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

[Eggtree McGee]

I think i found a sequence break. After coming back from the first fight and talking with your mom, I'm supposed to go find Markus at the guild, I was wandering around and checked out the library. I met the librarian and Parasite Black started talking with its name already revealed and PC talking about how they were looking for information. I assume this dialog is meant for later in the story when the parasite has already been talking for a bit, might need a trigger check on this.

I can't find the skip option in the android port

...gay, ... extremely repulsive stuff...

Sounds like they made it very realistic.

Now, with all of that news, I have no doubt you're wondering when the release date for the next update is?
The planned approx release for the next update is the 7th-10th of March, (presuming there's no delays like last time).

Felt like when devs says that they're planning to release it on specific dates, it ends up getting delayed. Maybe it's on me for trusting the devs a bit too much.

We're changing our release schedule post this release.
The current release schedule is now causing more problems than it's solving.

The current release schedule is now causing more problems than it's solving.

I do recommend to work with a sheet progress marking percentages publicly to know the progress of the next version instead of giving an estimate of a date in which the new version is done. That avoid burning the team and don't give hopes for the consumers but an overall estimation of how the progress continue until release (phase of writing, drawing, coding, bug fixing, testing...). In that way, many consumers can be helped too to know how hard make a game is and at the same time if the development is having some problems, those can be seen just by seeing how much progress the sheet is showing. But of course, whatever you do, you'll never get off the people who love to do damage, if you use your actual model giving dates or making a sheet in which the representation shows a low or slow progress, as they only live to do damage they will say it's milking...

Alderian News (Moving forward...)

Hey guys,

So, a few important announcements.
First, we hope you guys will/are enjoying the latest update when you get a chance to play it, it's one of the largest, (if not the largest) updates we've done so far!

For a while now, it's become increasingly apparent to us, (and to our supporters), that we've been struggling to release content updates month in, month out. Aside from the difficulty of trying to produce meaningful content updates every month, another problem has crept in > Simply put, we're spending so much time trying to cram in content updates, we're not leaving enough time for the actual coding work to improve the game, and this current system is simply not working with promised deadlines we're failing to meet.

So, moving forward: We will still be giving monthly updates, however, we will be rotating between tech only updates and content based updates month to month.

What this means is our schedule will look like this:

Month 1 - Tech only update - (The focus is on the code and possibly minor art updates/swaps etc).

Month 2 - Content update - A hopefully significant increase in actual player content, quests and such.

(This will then rotate back to another tech only update and loop).

We think this release system will prove far more practical in the long-term with our development.
Additionally, we're trialing out a new coder recently, and have re-configured some of in-house management which we hope will help streamline and iron out any issues.

If you have any questions, please ask them here or over on the discord and we'll try answer as soon as we can.

P.S, if/when you play the latest build, please don't forget to delete persistent data in the options menu - It's hard to fix reported bugs which may just be the result of not doing this.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far,
Without your support, none of this would be possible.
Love,
The Damned Studios Team

Myu is great. Will the mc be able to have sex with the scary form of Myu too? Maybe right after a hunt so that she can get fed too? Nothing like good old alley sex to make their bond ever stronger. Also will mc be able to kiss her?

Myu will definately have more scenes in the future and such and we'll probably add kissing art at some point.

Hey guys, just checking in to say work is still continuing and we're not all (metaphorically speaking) dead.

With that said, not a lot to talk about so soon after the last update, we hope everyone (when the get to play it) enjoys it.

We're still working on improving combat and hopefully eventually the saves issue, (feel like a broken record saying that but it's true).

Here's some future teasers and some reworks for you guys to check out, we hope you enjoy!

A remake of the Hospital (Above)

Cynthia - One of the Red Arrows - A squad member of Celeste's (Above).

That's all for now,
we'll have more substantial news soon.
Thank you all as always for your support,
without you guys none of this could happen
Love,
