Ren'Py Silk and the City of Seduction [v2.34] [Devious Delight Games]

[Beta The Slave]

I haven't gotten others in a previous run of the game, but otherwise in the same boat as this guy. I even replayed the whole game, looking for times I might have missed chances.

BUT - I guess I should add, House of Heroes blowjobs? I didn't think that was unlockable, currently. Does the game go past Hydroman and Electro? I've beaten them in I think every combo just in case one of them was bugged. Also, I get a crash that I'm able to ignore every night, even with the new game, that involves a Christmas outfit or something.



While running game code:
File "game/script.rpy", line 3368, in script call
call sleep() from _call_sleep_2
File "game/script.rpy", line 38150, in script
if christmaseventtutorial == True and beastenabled == True and supersuitID != 8 and wardrobe18 = True:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax (game/script.rpy, line 38150)

Act 3 isnt yet available. Dev has said that it should be out this summer in earlier messages. So there isnt anything past Electro/Hydro

The BJ in the house of heroes is in the game but I dont think you can access it in the current version.

I assume most of the costumes are also similarly inaccessible. And what we see are placeholders for when they do become accessible. Hopefully some of them like black rabbit are perma unlocks too, But as of now i have only been able to unlock 4 of them (2 default and 2 for bosses)

No, these are not placeholder. There are other costumes there and if you change the save file can be worn, but I do not think that they can be obtained in another way at the moment.

 

[Fourth6thwall]

anyone got a savefile?

Bad ends are one of those things that are pretty controversial haha. People either love them or hate them. There will definitely be more but I think they'll usually be at the ends of quests that deserve them (such as the landlord quest) that way the game doesn't feel like a minefield.

Pregnancy will arrive sometime either in the latter half of Act 3 or in Act 4. I haven't decided exactly how I want to deal with it but I'm thinking I'll use some sci-fi esque growth chamber type bullshit or something similar that way the player doesn't narratively lose a significant amount of time each pregnancy. Silk getting pregnant won't only be reserved for game overs (but some gameovers might feature pregnancy, too.)

Cheers!

Will you force the preg stuff or will it be avoidable for people not into it?

So far nice VN. THX a lot for your great work.

Another question as I did not find it through search: If I follow Black Cat, will Cindy automatically get dominance? Or is there a way to follow her path while remaining sub? I somehow have cognitive dissonance from Cindy doing super degrading stuff in the story but all of a sudden gaining domme points with the LI.

THX a bunch in advance!

Hi, i can't beat Electro/Hydro, just seduce them, they dissappear and after that nothing.
But the questlog still has the status, beat Electro/Hydro.

I'm not the dev. But there isn't anything after beating them. So you aren't missing anything.

Bump.

Sorry about, but I really would love to know before I continue with the story.

After the rewrite, Black Cat and Silk have a relationship where they are both switches. Sometimes Silk will dom Black Cat and vice versa. There is currently no "alternative" path, so eventually Silk *will* gain dominance points. I could work on adding alternative variations to each scene if that's something people want to see, but I'd also be more inclined to actually flesh out the dom love interest in Spider-Woman, first.

Is Landlord & Maggia's story will be added to act 3 or next update?

Thx for your clarification mate!

I personally am not really sure MC being a switch would work with what she potentially can be doing the whole day and the way her inner monologue is written so far. But it is your story and I am enjoying it a lot.

At least now I know that dom points cannot be avoided. Which in theory would mean they do not exclude the most depraved sub options, correct? I am personally someone who prefers to stay on the "true" route of a certain kink to be able to choose the most extreme choices available

Cheers to you and thx for your great VN!

That is correct, acquiring dom points will not prevent you from seeing sub scenes and vice versa. The main usage for gathering points in kinks is to unlock later planned content that require specific kinks; but you'll never be *locked* out of scenes for having a kink - I appreciate the praise!

Is Landlord & Maggia's story will be added to act 3 or next update?

Yep! I have a couple of scenes planned for the start of Act 3, which will be next update.

Loving the newly updated UI changes, nice to be able to play now without having to drag the mouse all over the place! Especially a fan of the time of day scene animated transition, although that's probably due to its novelty... but it probably lead to complaints about adding to playtime if it's the same city every time. So might wanna still add a few more variations to it, probably via layers (traffic on the street, ships in water, Thor/Iron Man/Fantasticar/X-Jet flying by, maybe seasons, perhaps sometimes it shows Central Park instead, etc.); bonus points if the Statue of Liberty appearance changes over time with stat changes (who hasn't wondered what's under that toga!).

However, might wanna do a text editing pass, some the mispellings almost rise to the level of comical ("stage freight," hah!). Plus new Reinar functionality seems kinda broken, once you max out current storyline ignoring dog doesn't result in anything; put another way, once that story is maxxed, might as well turn Reinar off, since nothing occurs after unless chosen. Also, rough sex scene text needs bifurcation, it's still uses safe word even after that's supposed to not happen.

Bad ends are one of those things that are pretty controversial haha. People either love them or hate them. There will definitely be more but I think they'll usually be at the ends of quests that deserve them (such as the landlord quest) that way the game doesn't feel like a minefield.

I mean, just because it's a game that is played with one hand doesn't mean it shouldn't lack for some difficulty (but agree, probably not to the level of a minefield). Just hard to balance difficulty so it doesn't loop into unrecoverable game over states (ie, unbeatable choices). Still, the game clearly needs a few more money sinks to add to the difficulty of paying rent... the second all the clothes are bought, player is just rolling in dough. Not saying the game needs a daily accounting screen or anything, but adding clothing options takes time, gotta at least draw them!

Easiest means would be just deducting like 20$ a day as food costs, but balance constant drain by occasionally reducing daily food cost from getting a free meal while doing patrols (spiderman being poor and getting free meals from streeet vendors is practically a trope now). Could also be interesting for landlord to have to raise rent occasionally (but not predictably) which would allow for the option to "reduce" the rent growth instead of being unable to pay (ie, same end result, but admittedly needs an out for if player doesn't want Maggia route).

There's always DBZ's Hyperbolic Time Chamber the N-Zone! Sorry, hard to resist having Baxter Building in game, between game being in NY plus movie coming out this summer...

I appreciate all the feedback! The ideas on how to shake up the loading screen are pretty awesome so I'm definitely gonna have to steal some of those later on!

For the text, simple typos are the bane of my existence haha. I try to fix them where I see them, but I do rely quite a lot on player reports for that. I should definitely do a quality pass soon.

The intention for Reinar's scenes not doing anything when you continue to ignore him after the first ignoring scene was to create a line that Reinar can't cross in their relationship. Of course, that line was only made to be crossed later as Cindy loses more and more control!

Finally, I considered adding in maintenance style fees like food, but they've always felt more annoying to me than anything so I decided against it. I completely agree that money needs to serve -more- purpose in the game, though, so I've been brainstorming ideas that aren't tedious. I want to add more clothing options for purchase and future questlines will have a few more things to do with money. A small example is plans for the Three-card Monte game that NYC is famous for (that leads to scenes when Cindy loses and tries betting her body to earn her money back)

Can't steal that which is freely given!

Understandable regarding maintenance fees, it's a fine line between verisimilitude and make-work... Quick-n-dirty solution would probably just be adding text books or other one-off expenses that are easy to draw. Not like web fluid usage is tracked to require buying supplies... although it could be interesting to force Cindy to have to take the subway occasionally in order to spend like 5$ here and there. Plus, you know, all the fun one can get up into in a subway...

But adding a hide-the-lady game, solid idea, easy to introduce during patrol missions. The real question is how to limit access once introduced, could be interesting to have it only show up randomly when going to other destinations. Not like she is going to play in costume!

Could you kindly elaborate a little about the male Li?

I am not into beast so I just stopped the animal shelter after the first Mission.

But I assume a human character would be more important storywise.

So will there be a way to avoid him? Will there be any kink Points that are only available when you choose him or are all the points necessary for the choices you mentioned earlier also available in the lesbian routes alone? And will it somehow affect the lovestories with the female NPCs?

Thx a lot in advance!

I'm not a dev, but from what was said before, I guess male LI will be like Cat and Spider woman now. You can pursue relationships with them, but they are non NECESSARY to progress if you are not in to them, and can just ignore it

(but about LI's affecting each other... this could be interesting, as an option )

Exactly right! Love interests will never be required for game progression, but certain story events may have variations based on who Silk has developed a bond with. The vast majority of stories and scenes for love interests will be found in each LI's personal quest, though.

Silk will meet all love interests via exploring the patrol map, but it's player choice on if she wants to pursue them romantically. I'm trying to develop love interests with certain niches in mind to make them stand out so some characters may provide certain kinks, but those kinks are not planned to be exclusive to any given character.

For example, if Robbie Reyes (Ghost-Rider) wins the ongoing poll, his scenes will feature a good deal of bondage by his chains. Spider-Woman is also planned to have bondage related scenes, though. As such, both routes would eventually accumulate the bondage kink.

Finally, there are some loose ideas to have certain LIs crossover with others but they are the hardest scenes to write, most expensive to commission, and it certainly is not planned for every potential matchup. I'd only really try to do this for combinations that really make sense.

 

[Buletti]

'd only really try to do this for combinations that really make sense.

That is a very good thing. For me personally there would be no need at all to invest time and Money into that. If it is seperate it is easier to avoid the Lis someone is not interested in. Maybe it would be something for the endgame when there could be a path that lead silk and black cat to be slaves of spiderwoman. Or silk having her Harem of dudes.

Looking forward to new developnents.

Cheers!

I can't wait for act 3. I desperately want to acquire that Black Bunny outfit for my character.
