I suppose it would also be nice if two photos with no overlap in subjects would always be distinct and moved into separate stacks. It's an infrequent enough issue though.
We can change it to be whatever we need, it was a subject of time to build before the demo launch though. So what I would like to include in the future for the photo stack

1. If you lock onto a creature and move around without dropping the view finder it stays in one stack.
2. If you swap to another creature and take a photo in the same space it creates a new stack. With the exception of creatures sharing an animation or a sex act.
3. Turning 180 degrees and facing the other direction and taking a photo starts a new stack.

Just needs time to refine.

With the Dev literally in chat, Just wanted to say I had a blast and now bought it. Def EA jank, but still provided a lot of entertainment.

Will other body shapes be added? I noticed a lot of them seem to to use the same shape/size (exception being the bee).

Man, that RNG does hate me, either I'm extremely unlucky, or the Caidaly is extremely rare, I wonder if I got a wrong game seed or something but in 4 weeks of playtime, I found two.
Is it completely random spawn? or do they hide somewhere specific? (Do they even have random spawns?)

They show up in the swap and it is random. Their spawn chance was tweaked in v025

Two questions. Can you advance animation stages when interacting with the mons other than just skipping it entirely? And is there a playable futa character planned?

Been playing on my Steam Deck and after around 12 hours and maxing out almost everything, I can say game is pretty good so far. An option to disable certain controller inputs (or at least make controller inputs not constantly swap the UI symbols between PC/Gamepad) would have been nice for quicker rebinding but not really essential. Once I had the controls set up I didnt run into any real issues with it afterward other than camera zoom in/out not being smooth because I had to bind them to PC controls rather than let them stay on Gamepad. Only real gripes I have are with movement and not being able to influence mons more.

It's mostly just how jank it feels, its small stuff that adds up like how you can't run off ledges even outside of cam mode, jump is very anemic & doesn't face in the direction you're moving so it feels off, and feels like you can only walk up the smallest of inclines so you have to skyrim-horse your way up any sort of hill, fall height threshold for the landing animation feels too low so you trigger it constantly, stuff like that. Combined with not knowing which places have invisible walls it just made getting around the whole island kinda clunky and just stuck around the flatter plains because it was just easier.

As for the mons, they're good but I wish there was a way to influence where they go or what actions they perform that's available rn. Grooming was consistently the last photo I needed from all the mons because there's only 2 spots they consistently go to groom and it's just a massive wait if you aren't lucky. Hunting Acts was also a hard one to get since you can't really lure mons into spore plants and just have to hope they walk into their range and do their thing. Sure I could've just skipped until a Pink Night but that has its own lighting and effects going on which is kind of limiting for a photography game. (It's also just not visible enough for how much is going on but that's more of a me issue).

Speaking of, sex act variety feels lacking somehow. 90% of Sweedees during pink nights just do the facehugger pose so the rest of the moves involving them became a grind. Same with some of the mono poses. It'd be nice if mon sex acts prioritized poses you haven't seen before until you get full monsutra then it goes full random (it'd also incentive going around pink nights more to take photos of everything). Having sex with the mons also just wasn't that interesting. Really wished there was a POV camera and a way to hide the player model during sex rather than just a basic freecam.

{Just as an aside I kinda hate the fact one of them is just Malo with very basic variants and they remain invisible outside of cams even when at full friendliness. I was kind of expecting more but overall just felt like a weird inclusion.}

Really looking forward to new content whenever it drops tho, personally would love more photography options. Stuff like laying prone, camera rolling/tilt, different filters and lenses, real-time photo rating or even just being able to take selfies and pictures during sex would make the process of S-ranking all the photo categories much more fun and dynamic so hopefully those are coming. This has so much potential!

p.s. please for the love of god lower the grass in a small area around the player whenever on-cam, the amount of times i had a perfect shot ruined because 1 blade of grass refuses to stand down is annoying tyty

Yeah when you get to the point where you're just skipping 4 nights, running around looking for a pose, skipping 4 nights, running around looking for a pose, it does get quite tedious. It's an example of multiple layers of RNG - most interactions on pink nights are poly, but mono poses outnumber poly ones 3:1. And on top of that any interaction with a Sweedee is a write-off, so you're playing some bad odds once you get down to one and two.

The grooming ones for kokai/furloin eluded me for the longest time because the nice, private locations with clean water they don't groom in, and they don't spawn anywhere on the east side in the main grooming locations. I genuinely think it's possible that the only place they can groom is a small dirty little chasm in the middle of the map. And then it's just a bunch of quitting to menu and running back.

I personally never came to understood the photo grading system. No matter how perfect the shot was I was frequently getting B's or even C's.

tbh i.... kind of agree with the photo grading system, but i dont know if theres a way to really fix that without showing us a breakdown of why a photo is graded what it is.
when i first played on an older version i didnt keep around, i was also only getting d-b's and now i usually only get b-s's and while part of me thinks that photo grades got easier to obtain, part of me also thinks i just got better at it without really noticing that i got better?

i think photo grades are for the most part in a good spot but theres probably just going to be issues in regards to feedback since if you dont figure out what makes a photo better, the grades will seem a little random since what the game wants doesnt necessarily align with your own ideas of aesthetics. that said if it was going to break down why a photo got a specific grade idk where would even be a good place to do that either so its kinda hard to suggest a solution like that which doesnt bog the game down

Then show me a breakdown of why a photo is graded the way that it is. If someone is grading me they can damn well show me the criteria, otherwise how am I supposed to improve? That's the purpose of a grading system!

Well, i never bought adult games and dont intend to start so my opinion is a bit useless, but this game is surprisingly underrated for all this work. Hope u'll get deserved recognition.

As for me this game i quite entertaining but sometimes it is really hard to understand What should I do except just running from place to place and photo-shoot everyone to get a bit more rank. Why cant I teleport through the map? Why is my map not unlocking even after i got every antenna? How should I find new poses etc. cause I didnt get anything new in 2 hours of playing. I just lack some guidance at the beginning.

For all those complaining about photo score just know that the focus of the photograph is the biggest modifier of the score. If you take a photo showing genitals and the face, also take it when the pp tag is up, and the focus is pulled correctly you'll score high.

Focus takes a few seconds after locking on to achieve full clarity. If you have post processing on low it will be harder to see if something is clear or not. Just find the shot, wait a few seconds, take the shot.

Yeah I did try holding the focus for excruciatingly long times, oftentimes entire animations just to wait for that PP ding and then I'd see it was a C+ roll my eyes and carry on.

Bought the game on steam like I said I would. Pretty pleased with how it is so far. Lots of jank to be found but the core idea of the game is cool.

Would love to see some more non-standard body types, nagas or centaurs or something though I understand that'd introduce a need for more animations so maybe I'm asking for the moon.

In the meantime I'll reserve judgement on how easy/hard it is to get the various photos since I know we're missing tools that may make it easier. Monster lures or improved zoom lenses or what have you
