Others Revenge of the Nerd [v0.1.01 alpha] [ValKaree]

Amazing thank you! What's the licensing story there?

It's free, but it's such a hodge-podge that many folks have issues just getting it installed. If you want to try it I suggest you ask any questions at

"the combat feels a little clunky" - How so? It's my first melee-combat game and I wouldn't call myself an expert in the genre, but happy to make adjustments.

Few things.

• The basic stomp is generally weak due to its low damage and long animation. More often than not worth doing. So you end up waiting until the enemy stands up. The charged one is good though.
• No animation cancel. It's a bit annoying if you punch an enemy while the catwoman jumps or the policewoman shoots at you. Being able to to cancel the punch animation into a dodge would be a welcome addition to a game with multiple enemies on screen.
• It's a bit bothersome if the catwoman stands up and immediately does her kick animation. Moving out of the way can be clumbersome if there are other enemies on screen. It would be nice to parry or block that attack.

"Fucking an enemy can be very tough though if there’s more than one on screen. I know the game gives you upgrades to speed things up or let you continue where you left off. but i dont think its enough." - My idea was to make it a challenge (vs all enemies freeze and let you fuck a downed enemy as long as you want). The more I playtested, the more I wanted options like leg sweep (knocks down close enemies) vs jump kick (knocks down many enemies but they get up in 1/2 the time) vs stunKick. But I'm open to ideas, in the end I want it to be a fun game and not a slog.

I get where you are coming from. But fucking an enemy is only doable if no one is nearby or if that enemy is alone. You can let it the way it is but you should make it a bit easier. Currently if you cancel the sex animation it gives you few frames of invulnerability but you are also stuck in a stand up animation. Imo it should transition to an "idle" state immediately. Also you still can get shot by the police during a sex animation which makes it impossible to pull off.
Also currently its a bit weak. I would make it a bit stronger too (heals you a bit or something idk)

"I dont get why you have to buy the sex animation when an enemy grabs you. You give yourself a disadvantage which makes no sense from a gameplay perspective." - You're right, there's no advantage. I mainly made it an upgrade because a) you can kinda make the game what you want (e.g., only domination, vs only submissive), and b) to give you more motivation to keep playing (and buy all upgrades).

I guess its a matter of taste. I agree when it comes to the player domination attacks. But it feels odd with the submissive ones. If someone wants only domination attacks they should be able to toggle it under options.

Btw: The policewoman is my favourite, especially like the domination animation. Wouldnt mind more variations of that type.

no comprendo?

you knwo how there is a preg tag, but ppl always ask for said tag to be split? well in this case: you'd have the preg end tag, but that is entirely up to you to do IF you would implement that. however other games like "syahata's bad day" would have a pregnancy content tag.

 

[KAY WU]

You mean female grunts/moans during sex scenes?

YES

 

[PshhSecret]

Has promise, would love to see more various animations for reverse rape

Turns out I was confusing 'goth' with 'punk', so a goth model would be more like:

Here I have a problem.... I want them all in the game

A future selection for male or female (futa or strap) MC will be possible ?

This is the first game I've ever seen with webview2 MS spyware as a requirement, I may as well delete it just like I did with the webview2 spyware

 

[Curon]

Do you get these for all download links? What I've uploaded is clean.

Nope only this one, I've downloaded all other games fine and yours is the only one that gave me the warning lmao.
Just a false positive.

"the combat feels a little clunky" - How so? It's my first melee-combat game and I wouldn't call myself an expert in the genre, but happy to make adjustments.

there is also no gore/guro this time... or will you add it later?

maybe as finisher moves like in: Mortal Kombat?
for both the nerd and the girls.. or would that be too much work?

Dang these assets are LOCKED UP. I don't even know what engine this is running


A really solid zako game concept here! Obviously voice is integral, but I also think the swarmer enemies should be easier to knock around. I suppose this is also doing double duty as a musclemommy game, but fun crowd management is secretly the core gameplay stable of beat-em-ups. I'm aware of the upgrades, and that does change things after a while, but if the beginning swarmers are hard to knock around, then you're either introducing power creep at some point or fighting an uphill battle to make a beat-em-up without a big part of it.
Also! Consider grabbing. Throws are important to gameplay, but there's also an enormous amount of potential in the idea of grabbing and being grabbed when sexual elements are in play.

Enjoyed playing this, I think the foundation is solid and the theme and models are hot. Some remarks:

• I think I get what you are going for with the stun and fuck mechanics, I think it could work very well but the fact that the skills relevant to them are locked behind upgrades makes it so the player doesn't learn to use them. Having the stun kick be unlocked from the start may be a fix to this. Stunning a couple of girls to put them out of combat, then taking care of them afterwards is a cool mechanic and really hot in context.
• Following on the stun mechanics, it could be cool if there was a skill-based way of getting charges back, maybe by reaching a certain combo number without getting hit.
• I unlocked all sex scenes but never got reverse raped, ever, because you really need to wait for them to happen. If you want the player to have control over this that's fine, but personally I think it would be hotter if the girls forced themselves onto you much quicker and you had to struggle while the animation plays. EDIT: seems you can struggle during animation. Then just ignore the second part of my point
• I like the drones carrying powerups, they're a nice minigame when the situation is quiet and a choice during combat.
• Others proposed moans during sex. I like the idea but they're hard to get right, better none than jarring.

Best of luck going forwards!

Great feedback. I need to think about these, they would require some significant adjustments to the mechanics. Glad you like the cop! More like her to come...

Ah I gotcha, never been a big preg fan but leaving certain enemies impregnated is an interesting idea.

 

[valkaree99]

YES

I plan to add some, right now only Pixie submission anim has voice (moans) but I agree it would be better if others had it as well. I need to find good voices tho...

 

[valkaree99]

Has promise, would love to see more various animations for reverse rape

Anything in mind? Suggestions welcome.

Probably not with this game, but I do see a similar game but with a female main character (and male/female/futa enemies).

It's not spyware. WebView2 is a simple chromium container to run webapps without the overhead of Chrome or Edge. This game is essentially a webapp and it needs a container, and WebView2 is the only option available for Windows deployments per the game engine.

I probably won't add it to this game, but may make a follow-on version with more 'harcore' content.

I admit I'm not quite understanding what you're saying here, but I am open to suggestions. So what specifically would you change? As for grabbing, I started build a grab/throw mechanic but didnt like how it was turning out so I abandoned it.

One challenge with this game is you can't move up/down the playfield like in Double Dragon (or similar beat-em-ups), and that limits what's possible and what mechanics work well.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback.
- I considered giving the player 1 stun kick from the beginning, I just didnt want to make it too from the start but maybe that's better? Or maybe start with 0 in hand but capacity 1, and there's a pickup?
- So make the reverse rape happen quicker? Makes sense, that's easy.
- Glad you like the drones! They turned out better than I expected, and I'm open to ideas to make them even better.
- Yeah enemy moans/yells are tough to get right, maybe I'll look into a way to mute that (if/when I add moans)
