Ren'Py Slugs and Bugs: Conversion [v0.10.7 Public] [Anaximanes]

[The Anax]

Thanks for finally updating this with the final woman. Long time coming but great to see!

Questions though: Is there currently any ending to story mode or gameplay-mode? I did a quick run-through of story-mode and fully corrupted everyone and there was no ending cutscenes.

Another question, how many bad-endings are actually unlockable in this version? At the end of my story-mode run I only have 12 of the 22 shown.

Also I'll just affirm what some others have said and say that the end-stage transformations are just too out there to be physically attractive(green-eye'd T2 stage is the best imo), but I love the mental corruption all the same.

No this isn't the end of the game, it's just the Janice content in a few of the final bad ends. The next one should be where it puts all the ending cinematic movie and all that other stuff into the game. I want to say it's something like 14 bad ends? That you can unlock. Yeah as far as what you guys like or don't like on the final forms, most of my patrons are teratophiliacs. But I like to give a lot of variety in my games, so I made sure to do several different conversion levels, so that everybody would have at least something to enjoy somewhere inside of all of this.

If I remember right, story mode just automatically gives you biomass. And no you don't capture the named characters. On game mode they are mini bosses.

if story mode is supposed to passively give biomass it is currently bugged (no pun intended) cause even being close to day 50 im still at the 86 biomass i started with

I can vouch for this. I'm on day 83 with only 86 biomass. I haven't been able to upgrade anything.

Okay thanks! I'll go post this in the bugs channel on my Discord.

I've never abandoned a project, and I never will. It's just taking a long time because of a divorce and other problems.

It's been a while, but I think so? All the bad ends are done, but not entered in. The rest will be in the 1.0 final, which is the next update (I am HOPING by Christmas at latest). That'll finish it all up, barring tweaks to balance as issues show up in the community, but this is still just beta here. If you went through all of Story Mode, and got to the end, then I can say for sure these are all of them, because Story Mode unlocks them automatically. I couldn't remember if there were 12 or 14 bad ends, in this release, so this is probably right. I'll let mars112358 (my volunteer programming fan) verify. But, he might not be around until Monday.

See above.

Yeah, let me think, Cereborg: Inception and Cult of Corruption: The Summoning, are the two I have with male protags for now, and when I do Cult of Lust after I finish Giggle Night, it also has a male protag, so some of mine do, but making bad ends for guy characters is not hot to me (only female corruption turns me on), so I usually have females. Also, side note for new fans, ALL the old, original novels will be redone in the future! I'll add a lot more content to them.

Man, I really need a cheat sheet of what units are good vs the different enemies, I will never remember any of them.

It should be marked, like when you're on the battle phase, it should be marked by color. You know what I mean? You're going to want to use whatever is lit up as green. Blue means that it's basically just average, and if you see red it means don't use that.

Is there any plans to use the upgrade section of the converted prisoners? It's currently grayed out and I think it'd be interesting if they offered more unique upgrades for the late game.

Is there an end to game mode? Is there any meaningful reason to continue past Howard?

Also, some units are pretty bad against their enemy of choice. Ex: Jumpers struggle with Explorers.

I think it'd be neat if Hybrids (if they never can convert) would instead get the option to capture and convert into a random conversion. I think this would make them a little more interesting that just stat blocks.

Also, I unlocked all the same ones as katsukiDemon did above plus the one with Mr. Blue Tentacle face at the point I stopped.

 

[The Anax]

Fake Count - converted prisoners as in they've already reached their total conversion? If so I don't really have any reason to continue upgrading them personally.

There will be an end, but the game is not finished yet so it'll be the next release that puts the ending cinematics and credits and such.

The stats of the creatures is not done yet. This is only a beta that you're playing. So there will be definitely balance changes eventually.

I'll consider your hybrid idea! I also have a suggestions channel in my Discord, that's usually what I use when I'm pulling ideas. Feel free to use it anytime.

Okay, I don't think there's 13, like I don't think there's an odd number. Which means there's probably one other one that you guys are missing on game mode somehow. But this has been out for a year for my patrons and on Steam, and no one else has reported not being able to unlock all of the bad ends (currently in the game). So unless I am mistaken, and there is an odd number, Mars will be able to probably verify all this when he comes back after this weekend.

If you go to the progress chamber and click on one of the prisoners, there is a greyed out upgrade button. I was wondering if there was plans for that.

If there isn't, I think it'd be interesting if corrupted prisoners offered unique upgrades as further investments into them. Ex: Absinth offering an upgrade that gives killed enemies a chance to be converted into plant or decay based unit. Ex2: Rose offering an upgrade that makes units heal when bleed or poison is inflicted on an enemy. Ex3: Evelyn offering an upgrade that doubles the odds of inflicting daze or webbed after not inflicting it on an attack.

Just some ideas and clarification on what I was talking about.

I do wish there was some way to change the appearance of fully converted prisoners to look like stage 4 or 5, but it is a renpy game and that'd be a bit much to ask I feel. Just don't personally care for Justine or Amelia Stage 6 much.

Thanks for making the game!
