Others Raid and Pillage [v0.1 Alpha] [NAlbedoCR]

[NAlbedoCR]

Game crashes on startup?

I have 2 people saying this on itch as well, but I have not gotten a response from them.
1 What OS are you on?
2 When did it crash? instantly on start up, during the Godot splash screen, in the main menu?

 

[NAlbedoCR]

Would love a game like this but with a fem protag.

It is a cool idea, but probably not coming any time soon.

 

[NAlbedoCR]

how do you open?

If it just crashes then it is a bug that some people seems to get (no idea why), please also answer the questions in the above post

If not, then it is just extract and run the executable. For windows that is just clicking the exe and linux just the command ./RRP.x86_64

The player character doesn't really feel like a vampire lord since they don't command any vampires right now. Making vampires and thralls as additional units could be interesting. Obviously, hard to figure out the direction planned with the game as the only upgrade for infrastructure is increase capacity.

Combat is really simplistic as well. I think it'd be wise to either not build on it for a bit or take inspiration from other games.

Is it possible to get obedience higher than 50 naturally now? Is 6 bunny resource the max per character now?

Having tooltips for icons could be useful for figuring out the ones that are less intuitive.

Good Luck Dev.

Shorts first:
1 Tool tips are coming next update
2 Obedience maxes at 50 (more ways to increase it coming next update). And the bunny resource (libido) in this version should max out at 10, although that might change.

And the current combat is not set in stone, it will change in the future. Currently trying: jrpg 4v4 party style combat, room clearing (i.e. changing from you raiding to you getting raided and defending your castle, stolen straight from DL), and some other stuff. We will see what is most fleshed out in the next update.

And ya there is not really anything vampiric game play wise for the mc. Will keep that in mind for the future.

Because of the AI art, you have potential to open this as a character creator kind of game. In that, you can branch out your vampire lord to be good at different things. Bloodlines, for example, that are renowned for seduction, strength, fear, mental manipulation, etc.

Equipment may be a thing you want to consider. Right now it's bodily changes and spell changes. Lots of room to make things interesting.

Another thing you could consider is introducing a thrall system. Slaves for labor or military. You could also furnish slaves with stats to differentiate them if you go that route.

You can also consider whether you want a base builder/defense system in place. The hub menu currently is simple navigation.

Lastly, I would prefer to see less of instanced raids and more location-based ones. I see that scaling up as just being more of the same. Get more wood or stone in less clicks. Shrug. I care more for a slave that I got from Lordsport after sneaking past guards and abducting them vs. I beat X in a 1v1 by smashing stats and won more slaves.

Having different bloodlines like vampire the masquerade could be very cool. It is a bit far in to the future right now, but very nice idea. Also knowing AI images, equipment is probably not happening (getting that bastard to make a damn sword is hard enough) - but maybe smaller things could work so I will keep it in mind.


And as the above post also talked about, having more vampiric stuff like a thrall system could be interesting. I can't say 100% how it will progress, but if the combat changes to something more defensive in nature having thralls as resource gatherers could be cool.

Yes I can also feel the limits to the instance raiding system, again I can't say how it will be solved yet because I'm not 100% on how the combat will change.

Thx for the feedback!

Drop the equipment idea, it was a suggestion as to how to "progress" your main character is some tangible way. You could downsize it to tattoos or hexes, curses, or other lair upgrades.

Otherwise, you can lean into your innate, spellcraft, and internal upgrades. I definitely am eager for some way to increase replayability and divergence between each vampire lord. Evolution, for example, or bodily modification. Those could also tie into improvements and experimentation elsewhere.

Dialogue between slaves/thralls/servants would spice up the rp vampire lord elements if you want to lean that way. Even just a report of what changes have happened while you were off raiding would be cool.

Defending from base raids may be something you want to explore. We currently don't have much of a reason to stockpile or empower ourselves outside of finding better harem candidates.

I uploaded a new version on itch (almost the exact same) try to download that one and se if it starts

Tattoos or some visual hex could defensively be more manageable AI wise, I'll keep that in mind for later.

Dialogue would be relatively easy to add, I have worked with Dialogic (an extension for Godot) before. Good idea!

And again we will see where the combat goes, but having a defense centered style (like Dungeon lord) would - like you say - give far more value to the resources.

Thx for the ideas and feedback!

is there a way to ship this game online on itch.io? like here

You must be registered to see the links

I'm not sure about godot functionality, but seems like it's possible if you added web to downloads. This way users won't argue that there's some virus or something, and all platforms will be supported, mac ios android whatever can open itch

 

[NAlbedoCR]

how do you open?

If you are on windows try the itch version it is almost the same, but the .pck is not embedded in the .exe which could solve your problems

The first version got nuked of itch (It had rape in the title, mb lol) and that had a web version. The problem i ran into is that Godot packages all images in the same .pck file and does not (as far as I am aware) give options for separating them. And when itch is trying to load the browser version it throws an error saying the .pck is to large. So I could in theory optimist the image size, but that would always lead to me having a maximum of like 200 mb .pck file. And I am not nearly a good enough tech wizard to deal with that.

So it would be nice, but yeeeeeee I do not know how to do it right now.

PS Hopefully I fixed the problems with windows version not starting and if people see a actual game and not just loading they will probably not scream virus like they do on itch XD

trojan virus, do not touch

It crashes when Godot games pops up

If you download and try the itch version, does it also crash?
PS is this Windows, Linux, or Android?

The Windows version, the itch version also crashes, the web version doesn't work also.

Game crashes on startup?

Actually crash with some windows message about some error or just not responding? First time starting a Godot app takes seemingly forever. Give it time, next starts should be faster.


And yeah, tooltips for the icons would be nice! And a Igor character that gives some text guidance what is going on and what you should do.

I would have expected that slaves could be used as a blood resource (like the brothel generating money, different task to generate blood).
For progression you could have other named vampires to raid that are progressively stronger and need several updates to overcome. With some banter for winning and losing and of course artwork

Okay than the problem was not the .pck files as I though. I do not have an immediate solution for the windows version crashing as I am struggling to reproduce it locally.

Either way, though I should reuse a server I had so I got a domain name and uploaded the game to it's own

. So if al else fail go there.

I do fucking hope that piece of shit works (it is not a very large vps), and seeing as exporting is clearly not my strong suit do not get your hopes up. BUT HEY it works om my machine XD

Ya it took 2 minutes, then I changed the .pck location and it took 5-10 seconds. But there are seemingly still problems and I can't consistently reproduce them. I'll cook a bit over the weekend and see if I can manage to solve it, but fucking hey what a headache.

And a "blood farm" is a cool ide, thx for that.

I'm not sure if named NPC will be a thing, we will see. But the banter Idea sounds like it would be fun, will keep it in mind!

 

[(_Daniil_)]

The game is good, but there's not enough room for your girls, and adding legendary characters to the collection would be cool...

You will need to add some sort of reduction in sale value for slaves or tax to prevent people from exploiting the slave shop.
Currently, you can buy slaves, train them up and sell them back at a profit. Marginal and unneeded at the moment, but present. You earn a few hundred gold per rotation.
