HTML Sanguis Ex Hero [v0.1.1] [Spiderling]

[Tanukilord]

with the pregnancy content i would personally like if there is an image or images of the babies and maybe what they would look like fully grown

 

[_nyxx_]

looks interesting, saving it up for later

I think repeatable sex scenes with servants would be nice, since without the ability to interact with thralls after the initial encounter they are effectively interchangeable with any other stat bonus. I agree that adding grind to it wouldn't be ideal, but having a scene lets you differentiate the servants more, and also just gives something horny to the porn game outside of a limited number of initial encounters. I would also like to be able to choose to kill them after you make them your thrall if you want to, since it would open up some more options.
Bug wise, there seem to be a few places where the game is just printing variable names instead of whatever the variable is set to (primarily in the souls screen, but there was also an instance of it for the player character's name). The souls screen and soul unlocks also seem to list the effects of the soul 2-3 times for some reason. I'm pretty sure the game is also inconsistent with pronouns when you have a futanari player character. Also, the training actions say they provide 5 xp but actually increase it by 10.
For UI, I think having a clear indication on which actions progress days would be useful, and I also think having an inventory where you can equip weapons and items would feel better than just carrying everything all the time (especially given that the shiv seems to be a straight downgrade from the kitchen knife). Displaying the target number that rolls are going against in combat would also enhance clarity imo, and I would personally prefer to have an end turn button instead of automatically ending the turn exclusively when you run out of ap, both to let me see the results of the action that uses the last of my ap, and so I don't have to end every turn by closing in when I'm already in melee range for no reason. Also, the perk shop doesn't seem to list prices for the perks, or say how to get the currency for perks (I think it's gaining blood past your cap, but it's difficult to be sure). Finally, the status window doesn't appear to have a way to exit back to where you were except through the debug uption, and I expect that it wouldn't work properly in combat.
It's an interesting setup, but obviously a bit empty given it's extremely new. I think that it definitely has potential with more content, and some wishlist features would be a perk or other unlockable that lets you see what a person's soul will give you, so you can make more informed decisions without saving and reloading, as well as some sources of superpowered souls without giving up on a thrall.

three things:

1. that fucking base character model for the futanari is genuinely my favourite in a game like this to date. the smug dominance really just *chef's kiss*

2. can you give us an update timeline? of when we can expect the new updates to come out? because everytime a game like this comes out i get my hopes up, only to be left waiting nearly six months for a bugfix to a problem some enterprising modder fixed in five minutes. and that's not even mentioning the plethora of games like this that just never got finished or remained abandoned.

3. i think someone above mentioned the idea of having repeatable sex scenes, and i think that's good because...what else are we gonna do with the thralls? stare at them? if you're adding a genuine pregnancy-to-birth cycle we need some way to impregnate them again, right?

4 (ha! you thought there were only three, but there's four!). this really up to you whether you want to do it or not, but have you thought of giving us a power that can age up our children to adults for...*waggles eyebrows* reasons? granted it's not for everyone, but it could be done as a post-completion update or something after the main story's been done. just some extra spice. but i don't think anyone's gonna be too upset if it's not added, either, so it really is up to you.

 

[Tattletale21]

ran into this bug and it's softlocked me out of the game.

You can get two girls pregnant currently. Each of them will give you the option to get them pregnant, and then there are scenes with the pregnant girl in the future. I am not planning to add interactions with your kids since, well, they are babies. Even if they are half vampire, there is not a lot to do with them.

Throw them at the throats of your enemies.

 

[evilspyder]

Some thoughts now that I seem to have finished up the current content.

Money seems to reset to around $130-150 regardless of how much you should have in your inventory. Also seems like the common souls stop scaling at a certain point, which seems to be about level 2. It would be nice if you could continue to farm those to grow your stats. Similarly, the mutation abilities aren't really all that powerful compared to a good ole' steak knife - so it might be cool if you could continue to level those up as well.

I also feel like there should be an alternate way to get access to "Unique Souls" outside of just eating and killing the person. This is ultimately still a porn game, I would like to engage in those elements without having to just throw away power progression. Maybe, after you have enslaved a super and fed on them x number of times, you get access to their Unique Soul abilities as well? That way just killing them and eating them to start with you sorta be a shortcut to getting that power, but enslaving them would still let you get there, it would just take a bit longer.

There are grammatical errors throughout, masculine pronouns being swapped for feminine, etc. More importantly though, the MC's name seems to default back to Wilson even though I'd changed it at character creation.

All in all I feel like there is potential for something here. I'll be keeping an eye on future releases.

Good point, if some day I get to the turn other girls into vampires maybe I should make Alex spawn vampire/bug minions.

Welp, gonna get to fix those bug, those seems to be for some reason grabbing the placeholder names. Just a quick question: is your character female? That would help me to fix the name bug.

Also about the unique souls. Yes, there are things planned to do with the girls, and to "get those" once you progress with the quest. Like you said, killing them is a shortcut and a way to remove characters that you don't like from the game.

My character is default male. Was going to go for the "Jock" body because I like the picture better, but I didn't really care for the description of them so I just went it regular male instead.

Thanks for the report, gonna get bug fixing.

For UI, I think having a clear indication on which actions progress days would be useful, and I also think having an inventory where you can equip weapons and items would feel better than just carrying everything all the time (especially given that the shiv seems to be a straight downgrade from the kitchen knife).

That is actually a great idea, I will put it in the next hot fix.

Displaying the target number that rolls are going against in combat would also enhance clarity imo, and I would personally prefer to have an end turn button instead of automatically ending the turn exclusively when you run out of ap, both to let me see the results of the action that uses the last of my ap, and so I don't have to end every turn by closing in when I'm already in melee range for no reason.

Sure, I can add that.

Also, the perk shop doesn't seem to list prices for the perks, or say how to get the currency for perks (I think it's gaining blood past your cap, but it's difficult to be sure). Finally, the status window doesn't appear to have a way to exit back to where you were except through the debug uption, and I expect that it wouldn't work properly in combat.

I put it like a hover-over; maybe it would be better to have it as plain text, and about the status windows, I just expect people to use the back arrow to get out of that.

It's an interesting setup, but obviously a bit empty given it's extremely new. I think that it definitely has potential with more content, and some wishlist features would be a perk or other unlockable that lets you see what a person's soul will give you, so you can make more informed decisions without saving and reloading, as well as some sources of superpowered souls without giving up on a thrall.

Another great idea for a mutation, gonna added to the to do list.

three things:

1. that fucking base character model for the futanari is genuinely my favourite in a game like this to date. the smug dominance really just *chef's kiss*

2. can you give us an update timeline? of when we can expect the new updates to come out? because everytime a game like this comes out i get my hopes up, only to be left waiting nearly six months for a bugfix to a problem some enterprising modder fixed in five minutes. and that's not even mentioning the plethora of games like this that just never got finished or remained abandoned.

1. Thanks.
2. I can only work on the game on Mondays since it is my free day (have a full time job) so one hot fix per week and maybe an update per month.
3. Actually have a lot planet for the thralls since they are basically your blood banks but sure, I will see what I can do.
4. Sorry, no incest because Patreon would chew my ass. However, if an anonymous programmer post a patch that puts that content in my game well . . . sucks when that happens.

 

[Darkmessiah30]

Will you be adding the option for mc to get pregnant if you play as a futa?

 

[evilspyder]

I am gonna throw out some narrative ideas that I think could work well within this framework. Feel free to disregard, this isn't my project, but maybe one or two of the ideas will spark some inspiration.

1. The game mentions that if anyone finds out you are a vampire, you will be hunted and killed. Gaining the ability to enthrall members of the local government to try to gain control of any such investigations could be a good idea. Starting with policewomen, moving up through detectives, perhaps police chief, on through to local politicians like mayors or even senators.

2. Similarly, superheroes are meant to hunt us. Being able to enthrall them, we could them have one or more hero acting as a spy within their organizations or societies, keeping us appraised of what they are up to, what they know, and when and how they intend to act. They could also on some level cover for our activities, or failing that, lead their fellow heroes into traps of our devising. One of the stats in the game is intelligence, we should be able to eventually evil mastermind some nasty plots.

3. Supervillains we could similarly enthrall to create a smokescreen for out efforts. Disappearances of certain heroes or just normal people could be scapegoated onto these villains, having them take the heat to prevent anyone from even noticing the vampire problem in the city. They could workhand in hand with our enthralled heroes as being part of the above mentioned traps, or help to subdue heroes or other villains to bring to us for enthralling/draining purposes.

4. With high enough charisma we might be able to worm our way into high society, enthralling the high and mighty to our will in order to gain property, money, territory, and influence for ourselves.

5. similar to 4, we could establish our own brainwashed cult. Not just the obvious fanatical cults either, but imagine colleges and such whose whole hidden purpose is to twist the thoughts of the young and impressionable toward following the whims of the main character - not only getting a grip on many people at once, but also ensuring that the future leaders of the local area are being guided toward your way of thinking before you ever even approach them yourself.

6. Chicks dig vampires. Twilight is popular, Anne Rice's material is popular, etc. At a certain point when the MC has enough economic or social power, he could turn his attention toward attempting to manipulate the masses through pop culture and entertainment, to convince the new generation that "No, vampires aren't heartless monsters that will rip out your soul! They are sexy, and charming, and everything you should want in a man/woman. So, if you notice one, you shouldn't report them to heroes, you should become their (love)slave instead! Then you can be just like that girl you like in that book, you know the one.".

I don't think so, mostly because I am not playing to add lovers with dicks.

If you could read my internal game dev document, you would be surprised by how much stuff you nailed on the head. Especially the "chicks dig vampires" stuff that is coming in the next content update.

 

[OrgansMissing]

I respect the vision.

Not much to say yet really. There are some bugs, writing is... fine. Where it is free of errors.

Keep it up.

 

[One_Black_Sun]

Nice start, but could really use proofreading (some AI maybe?).

Also...talking to a mirror does not sound like the best idea for a vampire, just sayin'

I swear, everything is labelled as AI nowadays. It's called machine learning, and we've been calling it that for decades now. People have been using machine learning to fix grammatical mistakes and spelling errors for that long, too.

 

[daedilus]

Haven't played yet, but my first thought is SanguisHero-Ex rolls off the tongue better.

 

[Ummmh]

Haven't played yet, but my first thought is SanguisHero-Ex rolls off the tongue better.

Doesn't make sense, tho.

It's an actual Latin construction.

Sanguis = blood
Ex = from ("out of")
Hero (technically should be heros, but that's a minor change, and few know Latin enough for the error to matter: we get what the author meant.)

So, Sanguis Ex Hero = "Blood From Heroes". This is a name which makes sense and fits the story.

What you suggested, however, would say "Blood Heroes From", which only makes sense if you're Yoda. You're not a shrivelled little green guy, are you?

 

[HabitualLineStepper]

I don't think so, mostly because I am not playing to add lovers with dicks.

Please double down on the violence and allow the player to drink their victim's dry. A lot of these vampire games shy away from the "violence" aspect of being a vampire and go the Twilight route instead.

I also feel like there should be an alternate way to get access to "Unique Souls" outside of just eating and killing the person. This is ultimately still a porn game

And there's a 1,001 porn games out there that go that route, can we allow this single game to be unique?

 

[BBB7070]

Are people interested in that? Honestly, I didn't think that people would like repeatable sex scenes since, well, they are mostly the same but with some changes. It is like the training games that you find out there that are mostly the same scene over and over again, farming points until you unlock a new one. Honestly, I didn't want to add "farming" to the game.

I personally am, if only to have a bit more interaction with them and get some more spicy scenes when we feel like it since other than those two, there's not much in the game to do currently other than beat up random thugs and hobos.
