why is it that, once i reach the second half of the game, despite me not being infected it automatically says "your chest has been noticed, your infested has been discovered" whenever i do anything? also, who the fuck is Joan, and why is he ratting me out as being infected despite me never having met the bastard?

Play version 2.36 or so for the full chapter 1 experience if they still haven't fixed it. You can see Joan by just walking around aimlessly but the first step to actually doing anything there is pretty "game-y"/out of character (hint: you have to willingly transform to see all the content)

I'm fine with transforming, i've just been trying to change everyone else first. it doesnt help that i'm getting in trouble for being infested despite NOT. BEING. INFESTED.

Just to be clear, have you played the chapter where you are seemingly abducted by aliens and explore their ship? After you complete that part you should wake up in your room. Dream or not fully exploring the alien chapter should offer quite a few explanations why Joan might have it in for you, might know of infestations you don't remember or any number of other excuses.

On the flip side stuff is not only incomplete, last I played one of the 2.4 releases said alien chapter was completely broken preventing access to quite a bit of lore (and sex content). It was even possible to bug yourself into what seemed to be some kind of research facility just by messing around in the "daily human life"/"infesting town" chapter with no indication of what was going on.

So, if you have played the alien content and understand its lore implications, assume this is just a bug but not even close to the worst in recent releases.

The latest patreon update is worrying to the max. Probably dropping my support. I believe this is an open post, but if it's not let me know and I'll share over the text.

Nope, "unlock this post by becoming a patron". I do see that it involves VR and video

OK here it is.
This is what I've been working on for the past couple weeks

Patreon does not support Pornhub embedded videos, so just follow the link above to see the demonstration.

I've discovered VR. It's really awesome - so I've come up with a new plan, outlined below:

1) Finish up the current Twine version up to the end of Part 3
1a) That means cleaning up most of the large bugs and finishing the crucial artwork pieces.
2) Start building out the new game starting at Part 4 - I really, really do not want to go back and redo the entire thing again. I'll be starting at part 4 and moving forward in VR from there.
2a) I will start by building vignettes and short scenes in VR. Anything related to coding or scripting is difficult for me to do, but I can stumble through it if I have to.
3) Use Twine strictly to outline the plot. It will become more of a book than a game. Because of this, I should be able to advance the plotline at lightning fast speeds compared to what I've been doing so far. There's a general storyline outlined all the way out to part 9 but I haven't even touched most of it because I've been bogged down in the coding of the game portion.

Here's the deal. I like coding, but I absolutely get trashed by syntax and details. I'm not good at it. I can half-ass this project to the finish line and create something decent on my own - but in order to achieve the full potential locked away here, I'm going to need a team. A team that I can pay.

Music - pretty much all done, but I have a contact who can make more if necessary

Coding - I'll need help with Unity scripting

Texturing - Ideally ModeSeven, I think they are more than skilled enough to do it and I can build the texture mesh outlines so it's easy for them to just modify existing textures rather than trying to create new ones from scratch

3d Modeling - I can do a lot of this but if you think you can do better, please let me know. I'm open to accepting help from whoever wants to help.
- Characters (avatars)
- Environment
- Parasites

Animation - I can also do this part, but again I'm open to help
- Expressions & Mouth movements
- Full body animation

Voice - I have a contact for this. Voiceovers are going to help a lot for the immersion. Not plotline explanations, but the general grunts and short statements made by the character as well as internal thoughts.

So far, all the work in the game has been bought and paid for and I thank all the patrons for making it happen. This is a game that doesn't use stolen porn as part of its assets, and I'm hoping to keep it that way.

I've got a lot of logistical issues out of the way, so the next step is to work on a full demonstration piece with self-infestation by a werm parasite.

This is also an opportunity to restructure the patron tiers.

$2 - twine only, you will receive plotline updates
$7 - Video links of the VR vignettes and progress
$20 - Downloads for the raw asset files, which lets you play as the characters in VR and experience self-infestation among other things

Finally, I'll have something unique for the $20 donors.

Okay so that's the plan, let me know what you think in the comments and with your likes!

Sigh. I knew it was gonna end either abandoned or something like that.

Too bad really, it was a cool game when it was in a working state.

(Now look here, creator dude. No Man's Sky is NOT the template for development process. And neither are Peter Molyneux's games.)

Apparently they've posted a "CLARIFICATION", but of course it's patron locked, so I can't see what it says. Anyone mind figuring out what they've posted?

It's honestly a clarification that makes things worse:

I'll be making something this weekend but just to clarify:
$2 tier will be for plot updates via low-level Twine
$7 tier will be for VIDEOS of the VR experiences (as in, I'll be recording POV videos while virtually fucking myself in VR with parasites, as well as hopefully animating NPC's etc.) I'll be making the videos private, because it was mentioned that VRchat frowns upon this behavior and I don't really blame them, so holding them out of public circulation is probably for the best.

$20 tier will be for VR assets which can be downloaded for anyone w/ VR

AKA: "I'm taking this text base game with 2d art and making it a novel with shitty 3d videos I'm recording myself with vrchat"

At least before people thought they were getting a vr game they didn't want.

Here's his new post: The embded video was actually posted on youtube of all places (wut?) and so was already taken down.

And lo, the people threw tomatoes. And they did smite the jester upon the face, and pelvis, and kneecap.

Okay so most of the gripes have been about how you don't want to buy VR to play the game. I had some other thoughts on this.

1) The game, built in Unity, is going to be accessible through VRchat which can be played using desktop. It's definitely not the same experience but it will be somewhat possible.

2) I can turn these video sequences into animated gifs and add them into twine instead. To be honest I'm okay with reverting back to the original simplistic coding style. It's just been a train of coders coming in, making the game so complicated I can't edit it easily, then leaving randomly and leaving me with a mess. If you want to criticize the coding, build it yourself and then stick around to manage it, is the attitude I'll be taking from now on.

I never meant it to be purely VR but it is just... holy shit its really hot. The voiceover for this sequence isn't done yet but it should happen soonish.

So those are the options. Let me know in the comments below.
