Flash Abandoned Powerless [v0.04] [scolexxx]

[Smithe]

It'd help to have a proper more in-depth guide or complete save files if possible

There's a lot of fannying around and the experience is extremely awkward. The UI leaves a lot to be desired, scenes take too long. The pregnancy alert has no skip and takes forever. Speaking of pregnancy, the way of avoiding it with soldiers is buggy and inconsistent. You can also just get pregnant and avoid any time you need to have sex with northern neighbours to buy their land.

The only sex scene I'm aware of right now with the southern kingdom is to visit their capital after an invasion and you'll be captured which would have been my favourite scene had it not been blurry and broken when I tried it. I'm going to test it again later and see if it was just a one-time bug or if that scene is wasted. Moving soliders, visiting new areas and moving around the map are all sluggish, so that'll be the longest one to do.

I've come back to the game multiple times and I actually really like the art and concept. I'm all for getting fucked with horsecocks and rape and gangbangs and the glory-hole soldier box and the throat-rape capture, I'm all for it, but the game is extremely buggy, slow and sluggish to get through. I want to actually enjoy this game and see a lot of the content, but it really needs a gallery or an easier way to get between scenes.

I'm glad it has a flag editor, though. That's the feature that all games really need. Good for that, I suppose. I want the creator to succeed, so here's to him doing well. Hope this game is released, as it's quality.

yep still blurry and broken. shame

Turns out that the capture scene is supposed to be blurry as it's used for all factions. While I'm not a fan, I understand the corner-cutting.

 

[Dev.]

Abandoned? Realy?

Abandoned? Realy?

Onhold would have been more accurate

Also considering Flash is dead, no reason to not move to a new engine

Small-timers are still developing games for "dead" consoles. Chasing after new tech is how DNF wound up taking over a decade to complete.

 

[Emperor_Arcturus]

Sure but Unity's not exactly new tech and will have a lot more opportunities afforded to the dev than they would have with just flash

Yes, from a protuct devellopement perspective, I think he should have carry on on flash until the projet was done, and change engine on next project. Even if flash is dead you still can use flash projector that work fine. That what fenoxo do for TiTS for example. Migrating engine basically mean spending a huge amount of time working without any visible change from your user, even worst, the product might look worst after the migration as you some feature that where available in your first engine might not be in the other or work so differently that you have to rethink thing from scratch.

This is especially true for flash VS Unity as Unity is barely catching up with certain feature that the last version of flash was offering for 2D animation.

But Scolex is an amateur and do porn game not for money but for fun and maybe to learn new techs. So he is free to be as ineficient as he feel so.

 

[Mrbeez]

What about flashpoint could you still make flash games with flashpoint are only play games using flashpoint

So this is like the 3-4th game he abandoned, not surprised really. Shame, it looked good but I would suggest people don't hold out hope, this is clearly a pattern.

From what I can gather, most porn game devs are artists first, programmers second. They have experience drawing sexy characters in sexy situations, but their game is more or less their first experience coding. They underestimate programming to some degree and then burn out quickly because of it.

 

[Redbrownalgae]

So is there any way to cheat in this game? Like a save editor or something?

 

[Faintestbow]

So the project was completely abandoned or is it just on hold?

There's a cheat option at the start of the game.

 

[somebody cares]

flash is "dead". there's ruffle player, which emulates flash in the web. so theoretically you can run flash just the way you used to - in fact quite a lot of sites do exactly this

 

[Hazchadim]

This game is so good to be abandoned

 

[Ř@ĐįäÞïőñ]

just to point out that scole discord existed and he pretty much doing this game in unity
he said it will be ready soon but no promise.
might take 1 week from now or another year
so don't get your hopes up just live and be happy till the game came back

 

[Lnw]

It will NOT be ready soon, he has stated that he is learning unity while doing this remake of the game, and also that he is going to have to change the way he even does the art because it won't be compatible with the aspects of the new engine. Don't expect this anytime soon.

i agree but i think most of the ground work like gameplay/system and logic should be 50-60% by now assuming this past 1 year he did spend some time doing the game (i ask directly since 4 months-ish ago)
and that the way he did art it was like 1-3 months ago he did said that (i maybe wrong about time frame)
TLDR just live a happy life and follow his twitter.
