Alright, I decided to make a detailed summary explanation of all the progress and new mechanics the new game will add and some extra previews of maps, story, and some cg that has been posted until now, please be patient with me cause this is kinda long even for a summary. you dont have to read it all, you can only read the things that catches your atention if you want. (also I apologize for all the possible writing errors in this)
with no further introductions, lets start. (images from each mechanic comes after explanation text)
1. two playable heroines sistem: this is the one almost everyone knows already, this time the game will have 2 playable protagonists, according to google, their names are "alumines/alumina"(left) and "tangel" (right), theyre the first heroines in this franchise that actually have more realistic body proportions compared to the previous games. the image below may seem like the attack sistem is fused, but the creator said each character will have their own menu sistem and turns.
2. new tentacles restriction mechanic: this one is exclusive to the 2 heroines sistem according to the creator, but it may happen with only 1 character in the future, this basically works like this: when both of the heroines are being attacked by an enemy, if you let yourself get attacked for too much time, since the heroines are too focused on the enemies that are attacking them and not paying attention to their surroundings, tentacles will slowly get closer to the characters each turn or each set amount of turns to restrain them and capture them, the creator said this was to make the game harder, it is not yet confirmed the conditions for escaping the tentacles or if they can be attacked or killed, but they can appear almost if not in every battle. this will also bring saving mechanics from each character (one of the character saves the other and viceversa) creator said hes still thinking how to balance the difficulty of this mechanic.
3.
new enemy attack icon sistem: this one is trying to fix the weird thing in the previous games were during a battle with a group of the same type of enemy a specific enemy is attacking you and you killed that enemy, the other one will continue the attack without changing the standing cg like you never shoke them off or as if theyre attacking all at thr same time.
basically, this adds to the enemies a specific icon of both of the characters, that can tell you which enemy is attacking which character during the battle, so only one enemy can attack one character at a time, and when you defeat it, the changing cg of the attack will return to normal and the attack will actually end unlike the previous games. (I apologize for the quality but the image should still be understandable to the eye)
4.
enemy double attack mechanic: almost self explanatory, basically, when the two heroines are already under attack, the enemies can sincronize a double attack, this also brings a double climax mechanic depending of the conditions. (also a little extra preview of the incomplete outfits for both of the heroines).
5. status images, kidnapping and corruption sistem: this is the bigger ones folks, so I will divide this part in sections(A,B,C...)
A. kidnapping sistem: this works with the tentacle restraining sistem, basically, when one of the heroines, is at "max restraint" and other certain conditions, like horniness, climax, etc, the game will notify you that the enemy will kidnap that trapped character in a set amount of turns if you dont save her soon, this means that now a character can lose the battle even without her hp reaching cero, its not confirmed if the kidnapping can also happen when you only have one heroine left nor the conditions to save them from the kidnapping. and when one of them is kidnapped, if you take too long to help them, they will corrupt and then attack the other heroine during battle.
B. corruption progress during the kidnapping: almost self explanatory, while you still fight, you can see events of the progress of the character being corrupted and trying to resist the attacks while having thougths of faith that you will save her, until its too late. this one is probaly one of the hottest parts the game will have.
C. corruption image status: self explanatory again, each character will have their own status image or corruption status that can be seen inside and outside from battle, the image will change depending of the progress of the corruption. it is not confirmed yet by the creator if when the corruption is complete it is permament or needs specific conditions to save the corrupted character, either way, he said he wants to balance this sistem too, so its a 50/50 if he decides to put conditions to save a fully corrupted character or if its permanent and youll have to win the war by yourlsef. (but knowing the story in the previous games, he will probaly choose to make it possible to save a fully corrupted character)
6. more defeat scenes variety: to make it short, creator has showed two of the defeat scenes for the game, one of them with both of the characters(as expected) and one with only one of them(alumina/alumines), this seem to mean there will be tons of defeat scenes for both of the characters wether they are together or alone and separated, however, this is not fully confirmed yet by the creator. but the only clue we have is what he said for the defeat scene with both of the characters:
"I was thinking about the defeat scene. This is how the erotic medical record is taken by Nurse Slime Oricto...Also, it's different from the defeat scene, but when one of them is taken away, there is usually no display like this."
its another 50/50 if he decide to do this big variety of scenes or not. but I have faith the creator will do it since he doesnt like to waste too much drawings that would cost him wasting more time to make the game.
extra curious topic: this is not confirmed yet by the creator, but if youre wondering why Alumines/Alumina has bigger boobs on the right image compared to the other, this could mean 2 things:
A: since the effect of this stars enemies in the previous games is "milking" her boobs get bigger in concequence of filling them with milk, if this is true and happens, this would mean that the cg of the character would change to a bigger boobs variant until you fix her defeat baste. (this would take even more time for the creator to do but it would be perfect for the game)
B: is just a drawing minor error and the defeat baste would still work the same as the previous games without changing her boobs size.
7. maps, story and new items preview: last but not least we have the most "boring" part of the previews, the story basically will occur in a school/lab environment, and you will interact with a lot of new characters both students and teachers, details of the story or main enemies are not yet confirmed or showed by the creator, but he said he wants to add a more variety of items and equipment you can use for the characters, and get them for a different character depending of the type of item or equipment you want to get or use, again, the details of this new items are not confirmed yet, so this will have to wait more.
Final thoughts: overall the game is a huge glow up compared to the previous two and i cant wait for the first playable versions and the full release! this is all the information for now folks, ill try to keep posting new updates as the creator post them on his website. thank you if you read all of this until here.
