RPGM Completed Sir Stretchalot - The Wenches in the Well [v23062021] [Apple Tart Games]

[somebodynobody]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm making a completely unrelated fix at the moment, so I'll address these as well if I can.

F4 should make the game windowed.

I'll turn down the Victory and Entering Combat sounds.

Old Fred used the rope to get out, I suppose. Or maybe Stretchalot carried him. Never really thought about it to be honest haha.

The hop with Ingrid? I'm guessing you're referring to the busts? Yeh, that's just because they weren't drawn all the way. It sort of has to be this way to save space on the bust sheets.

No numbers during the boss fight doesn't seem right. I'll look into that. Not sure why it crashed either, but I'll see what I can find out.

Sorry that you had to play through it again after the rat boss crashed for you. There is actually a way to speed up the game. You can press "U" on your keyboard and the game will run at 5x speed, and then pressing "Y" will revert things back to normal speed. You can also hold Page Down with or without speed up to speed up dialogue even more.

I use this on my end for playtesting. It can cause some issues, such as trying to speed through the start of the epilogue where the Logo shows and music plays. You can speed right past into the cutscene and the music has to play itself out. Speeding up shouldn't cause any crashes though. I'll probably add a note somewhere in game that this feature is available. The only issue with it now is that whenever there are choices to be made, it doesn't go back to 1x speed automatically. That's what I didn't tell everyone about that in-game. I'm going to try and edit that code so it works better though.

Going to look into skippable cutscences in the next game to make it even better, but we'll see.

Did the NW.JS file throw up an error or something?

Again, thanks for the feedback.

- Apple.

The animation when stretchalot went down was long, so I am surprised Fred actually went to the bottom, then an old man climbing that rope back up seems rather ridiculous. With that much upper arm strength he could have dealt with the monsters himself.

I tried the normal Alt+Enter for windowing, but since it is an RPG Maker game maybe just throw it in options?

Yeah with the busts. I get you wanted it animated, but I think that is the only real animation of the busts? So it was weird especially since she wasn't drawn below.

The numbers would show up in the bar up top, but the numbers that normally appear on the monster when you hit them didn't show. The crash happened once, I am not sure why but I did reload a save before the fight and the rest of the game went fine. Might be the old problem of RPGM games and their hate of pushing movement right after a transition.

Ah, I was playing using a controller. So was trying to figure the buttons on there to speed it up except holding down the continue button.

Being this game is relatively small, you could have a set of auto saves before and after the choices and happenings to allow easy getting back to where they were.

Yeah, about half the RPGM games I play throw the error saying I have newer than the game. Normally the newer the file the more stable and fast a game runs as I have seen.

You are welcome.

Yeh, F4 is built in as window mode for RPG maker games. I'll try and add a toggle for game 2 in the options.

I do a bit more with the busts in game 2 in terms of animation, but they might look better if they're a bit lower when they jump.

I'm going to try and add those speed up toggles to the gamepad somewhere as well. I do have a full remapping option in game 2 that I need to set up, so that should handle it.

Will look into autosaves. I did check some of the main ones out, but for some reason they always autosaved over main save slots, which sucks.

Will look into a new NWJ file then. That might fix up the slowdown I was having with the new lighting system I started using actually. I did read that a newer version can cause issues with the engine, but we'll see.

Might want to look into getting a SubscribeStar set up, Patreon's been slowly cracking down on smaller NSFW content creators. A few weeks back Deepstroke got told he had to remove every NSFW animation on every account on every website (including obviously nsfw sites like his xvideos mirrors) if he wanted to keep his Patreon account unbanned. I moved my support of most of the NSFW content creators I give money to over to their subscribestar options even if they that haven't got kicked off Patreon yet.

Also, have you looked into selling through itch.io? That's how I nabbed Vosmug's two games, which also helps that even if they had a Steam version I'd rather not have that showing in my library to anyone looking. DLsite is also an option if you want to jump through the hoops of making a version with censored art, but on the other hand its an entire market you basically don't have a foot in right now.

Might be worth locking these controls between a menu option or key item for "toggle debug functions" or another option, just so someone doesn't accidentally hit something on their keyboard or find the button without reading a readme text file or in-game pop-up to know what's going on and what's the risk.

Hi.

I'll look into setting up a SubscribeStar account. I'd never even heard of that. Looks like they don't take too much profits either. Sucks that Patreon are causing trouble for lewd stuff. I hadn't heard about any of that either.

I plan to sell on Itch as well. Should have that set up within a couple of days.

Censored art should be really easy to make for that DLsite as well, so I'l look at that also.

As for the speedup stuff, yeh, I'll definitely address it, for the reasons you brought up.

Thanks for the comment.

I swear I have seen the Ingrid sprite in another game.

 

[Apple_Tart_Games]

I swear I have seen the Ingrid sprite in another game.

The pixel sprite? I made that myself, but it uses the base character art from the Time Fantasy characters pack, like all the characters.

As for her illustrations, my mate drew all her original art. Not sure if he was using other games as a reference or not. It was his first time doing any sort of illustration, so he might have. I'm not really in contact with him anymore, but I'll ask if he did. The sex scene in the epilogue was done by another artist again.

If you remember what game you're thinking, please let me know, so I can see how close the art is and have it re-drawn.

 

[thevoid089]

Man, I'd love to set the whole series up like that on Steam, so that it was just one game that people bought and then I released regular episodes as if it were almost like a tv show/serial. It could all be under one banner in people's library. It'd be great.

It just wouldn't work though, financially. It's hard to really get people's attention with a DLC release on its own. Heck, it's hard just to get it visible to enough people on Steam. Everyone who owned the game would get notified, but that's mostly it. It would make getting in new players a lot harder, and I doubt I'd make back the money I put into that episode, which would quickly put me out of business here.

My goal is to get everything going on Patreon more. I'll still do Steam and elsewhere, but Steam take 30% of my profits while Patreon only take 5%. It's a massive difference. It's also way easier to release things on Patreon than Steam.

As for just one thread on here to make it easier, I didn't actually make this thread lol, so I have no control over it. The poster who did would have to do all that, but I agree that would be easier. Maybe I'll ask at some point.

No cameo for Ingrid. Episodes are intended to be mostly standalone, with new hotties each ep. That said, I am planning an episode later called "2 Witches, 1 Cauldron." where I want to establish some recurring characters. If you're a fan of the Witcher, you might be able to guess where I'm going with that one haha.





Glad you liked it, and glad you liked the new sex scenes! I'm really happy with how they came out. None of those images were even made with animation in mind, but in game 2 they all are, so they'll be even better!

Yeh, the full nelson anal fuck turns into a full nelson dp with Old Fred in Ingrid's puss if you make the correct choices. I don't know if I'll lock content behind decisions like that in future. I'll probably have optional stuff, but you won't have to play the same part through twice to see everything.

If you want to see preview stuff of Stretchalot's next adventure, check me out on Twitter, Patreon, or Discord. A lot of my patreon posts you don't have to sign up for anything, but I post the finished images that get done mostly on there, and they are for paying tiers only. That said, I'm probably going to open up with that stuff a lot more and post the images everywhere. I'm really struggling to get any traction on Patreon, which I think is because no one but the few supporters I have get to see the new images. Posting that stuff everywhere will hopefully help.

Here's one of the latest finished images I put up on twitter for game 2, which features a blow job crazy elf named Ella:

Aw! No Ingrid anymore, but it's okay because in the end a stretcher always move forward without looking back and their only way to do so would be to recall those good memories in front of the bonfire. That elf image truly are hot and lovely, worthy for Sir Stretchalot sword. A Witcher references in the future? FUCK YES!
Hopefully your project will get well known after this release, it was very good so it need to grow bigger and with lot more episodes. I think you should post it not just on twitter but on some other site like reddit (like one lewdgames and nsfwgaming) or on itch to gain more attention from those site

If I do remember/find it I will, but it could just be a case of Deja Vu

Yeh, no Ingrid, but I think you'll like the new girls in game 2 even more. I've written about 15k words of that so far, and it's still only in the first act. They get a fuck-ton more character development than Ingrid or the two water hotties got in game 1.

And yeh, there's a crap ton of Witcher refs just in game 1 haha. References to pirouetting from the books, the overall mistrust and confusion about Stretchers like in the witcher universe. Not to mention, Stretchalot's clothing is based on Geralt's casual white shirt look lol.

More episodes will be coming, and faster now because I've worked out so much stuff in game 1 that I don't need to figure out again. It's honestly just putting them together.

I'll post on Twitter and elsewhere more as well. I need to grow the following, but honestly, Sir Stretchalot is the first porn game I've ever made. I have no prior experience with this stuff. I've only ever played one porn game actually, and that was after I made Stretchalot.

Thanks for the support and I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Everyone, I put Sir Stretchalot - "The Wenches in the Well" up on itch.io:

For some reason I can't find it when I search, but I think that's just because it was recently submitted. I hope so anyway.

It was way easier to submit on Itch than Steam, which was awesome, though i know Itch doesn't have Steam's reach unfortunately. Can link to Patreon as well, which is cool.

Looking into it now. Thanks for letting me know.

Do you have an old video card? I've seen that error with old ones that don't support shader model 3.0.

 

[HentaiMaster 9000]

Do you have an old video card?

Na, I have a RTX 3060

 

[Nightfall414]

I LOVE the Witcher references, being something of a superfan... this is the parody it needed.

 

[Apple_Tart_Games]

Okay, that is definitely new enough. Was away, but back now and I'll see what I can find out about that error.

Yeh, there's heaps of references in the first game haha. Game 2 is going to be the same sort of thing, but the focus is elves.

I eventually want to do an episode called "2 Witches, 1 Cauldron", where Sir Stretchalot is stuck in the middle of a fight between two powerful witches. I'm sure you can imagine what witcher girls and dynamic that will be playing on haha.

I could have imagine that would be a very wild dynamic relationship filled with lot of sex, beside the witches will we got some succubus girl to stretch like with the Slime girls?

Yeh, a Succubus would be fun for one of the episodes. I've got all sorts of monsters and stuff I want to do. Dwarves, Elves, Mermaids, Harpys, Succubi, Fairies, etc.

If Sir Stretchalot can fuck it up the bum, then it's on the list.

I love it, would be nice to have more type of monster girls for Sir Stretchalot to having fun with. Would be nice to have some undead girls like dullahan, zombie, vampire to plant girls and maybe even automaton type of monster girls

Yeh, I want to do zombies and vampires at some point. I've got a ghost girl one planned.

Never thought of an auomaton girl lol. That could be fun. Putting a girl back together and then stretching her hahah.

Okay, I looked into that. It isn't the error I was thinking and has nothing to do with your video card.

Looks like it's because I tagged the file type of the archive that the game comes in as an executable, but being a rar, it obviously ain't an executable.

It gave me the same error with the App.

Changed the category and it installs now for me and the game runs, so please try again now.

Sorry this happened. To be honest, I didn't even know there was an itch app before you said anything haha.
