Ren'Py SlutCraft: Heat of the Sperm [v0.48] [Shadow Portal]

Also I'm just going to say it, dreadlocks on white girls look awful.

I'm very sad... played the latest update and I'm so disappointed that I am "unwatching" this game.

Good luck to the devs - I hope the direction they are taking this brings them some joy & some dollars...

Wait , what happened? lol
I havent played the game in ages, was just letting it build up in content for a while. Feel free to spoiler tag if need be

 

[xorcist]

i like checking back into this game every once in a while to see if Shadow Portal has figured out that people, at least on here, overwhelmingly want pre-transformation content. I'd happily pay for patreon for pre-transformation content, but unfortunately it seems like dude is dead-set on post-transformation stuff. I've never seen a dev in a thread more ignore what people are clamoring for.

It's really crazy, isn't it? They changed the whole game by changing the girl. Makes no sense

 

[bobbytables]

Good afternoon, don't worry, we read all messages. Content up to the point of transformation always appears. In the new updates there will be at least one scene for chapter two, and a "Sarah doll" for chapter three, but there Sarah looks like the past one. So we're not ignoring requests. But here's where you're wrong, is that such requests are not the majority. For us, the most important source of feedback is Patreon, although since we're active here and on other sites, we listen to all players, including those who don't support. But just to say that those who like our game in the latest updates, just support the game and do not particularly write comments, which is misleading. You shouldn't think that most opinions are one-sided, just because most are fine with everything as it is.

I haven't seen a single developer who follows only the opinion of users in F95 - everyone takes feedback from different places to form an objective assessment, us included. We don't want to make a new update just for the second chapter and ignore the story, not promoting it in any way, just to please one opinion.

To summarize, yes, we hear you and we don't ignore you. We're doing everything we can to make sure everyone has everything and we're glad you're playing our game.

This is such a backwards perspective on marketing and sales. Ridiculously backwards. Of course the current ones paying you are the ones that like the content you switched to. That's how you don't and build products. If i had 10 people buying my cranberry soda on the regular, meanwhile i had hundreds and hundreds of people saying they liked the raspberry soda and want more, it would be insane to be like "well, i gotta listen to the 10 people who want cranberry". The very reason you don't have more patreons wanting more pre-transformation content is BECAUSE you don't do more pre-transformation content bringing in people wanting to support that.

from the developers there was some information about what will happen after all the tests of Sarah?

She will probably become the leader of the Swarm and exact her revenge

Still waiting for the ability to avoid Stukov stuff man. I know it was planned at the very least, but that was nearly a year ago

 

[Deleted member 690464]

why complain instead of just uninstalling the game. I mean, it's obvious what the game is about.

 

[MahPr]

I came here looking for answeres because I also had the problem with unlocking 'stuck in wall' events. I tried searching to find the poster at the soonest opportunity, and then I tried waiting until additional things were unlocked, then finding the poster, but neither put it on the wall. Eventually, it came up when I was worried it was too late, somewhere around Fap Material Lvl 3 or when 'Stuck in Wall 2, Lvl 0' unlocked.

Me too! I suppose mine may be an odd mix of perversions, since I couldn't wait to start stuff with the zergling, which I think many people would consider 'more extreme,' but it's still true, for me. I just . . . Stukov is an asshole, and I don't ever want to give him even a kiss, just because of his personality. And when Sarah agrees to have sex with him finally, he's such an asshole he manages to turn it into a rape, which is unacceptable to me, even in porn.

There are more than a few scenes I disliked only because something was forced, when if I had been asked, I would have agreed happily.

My request/suggestion to the developer would be a points system, where the player must complete some amount of tasks to progress, but not require all of them. This would allow people to skip content they don't like, and could also add options to add content in chapters without requiring the chapter to take too long, if the player was impatient to get to the next.

Switches in the options in the main menu to completely disable content types are something else I greatly appreciate in games like these. That way everybody wins.

Funny enough I'm here for the same reasons. Ever since I played an obscure game on here years ago, hot women + true aliens/creatures really does it for me. It's a rather niche thing in the porn game world so I take what I can get really, holding the skip button for all the Stukov stuff isn't that bad of a price to pay for me right now. Still, not a great solution either.

I think there's a lot of different ways it could be handled acceptably, but yeah at the bare minimum a way to just not see it would be great. Maybe a Sai'mon route as an alternative that's more focused on solo/tentacle type of corruption? That would require a lot more effort though. Honestly anything has to be better than Stukov lol.

Skipping futa, zerg would be nice too

New update or changelog please.

We are still working on 0.33 update, but it will be out very soon.

Unfortunately, that is almost impossible, or rather not almost, but at all. If we do this, we will get a lot of holes in the story, many things will get not only illogical, they would become absolutely incomprehensible. I'm not even talking about the integrity of the game and the lack of content that would entail. Because in the first and second chapter, I think 70 percent of the scenes involve Stukov. We know that many players did not like it, and made all the appropriate conclusions, thank you for your feedback.

 

[Shadow Portal]

It's not really a test, if we're talking about chapter 3, Sarah collects the essences of the leaders, and with it she becomes stronger, she needs it to defeat Mistress. Next we will expect just an arc where Sarah will have to overthrow her, and of course take her place, because Mengsk didn't go anywhere

Why is Stukov necessary for the game again? Isn't there already a giant zerg you go to to get trained in the game already? Isn't there a hunger mechanic where you have to eat from a giant dick that force feeds you aphrodisiacs? Isn't there a giant tentacle wall AND hole in the wall where he could be replaced with... I don't know, anything other than a random human guy? Isn't there a brain parasite in you that could EASILY be the driving force behind the masturbation events?
The only thing Stukov "needs" to be in the game for is because you feel bad about removing the disgusting art of him kissing you and shit, half the scenes he's just superimposed in the corner while you do something in the center so you're just looking at a disgusting blobman doing nothing, he doesn't even fuck you first, the Zergling does, which is IN his event?
It's not even for the story either, Stukov has zero impact in chapter 2 and almost none in the first chapter, all he does is make you do the worst grinding of the game that no one likes and open the door to let you out.
Then again, making any changes like cropping Stukov out of the corner of images or rewriting his dialogue to be some other character already in the game seems to be against your direction since chapter 1 still has a metric ton of unfinished content (remember the giant wheel of options that never gets brought up)

Because Alexei Stukov is an important character of Starcraft, which this game is a parody of, and play an important role with Sara in the Heart of the swarm arc ( and not only that), and I must say that Shadow portal did a good job in capturing his personality from the original, so he can't be cropped out and you must deal with it, there's nothing to do about it you and the other must bear with him.
This is not an original game or a complete what if scenario, the game is following ( very loosely) but is following the original story, so nothing can be done about it.
Could have been better? Well yes always, could have been done without? No.
Same thing for those that are whining about Sara/Queen of Blades it's unavoidable, so gotta deal with it or if it's so unbearable it's better to stop playing, because that's what happen in the main game and it can't be changed.

You're only looking at one side of the coin right now. I want to give you some more insight, I'm not saying it's just because of that, it's generally so that you can look at it more broadly.
The bottom line is that we have the necessary staff of people, our core artist is very skilled and can accomplish almost anything. BUT everyone has performance limits, she can only draw a certain amount of art per month. For our project to grow, we need to attract more and more new and talented artists, and as you may know finding people who can join the team is not so easy, especially for an 18+ project, it's my personal experience. I'm not even talking about making sure everything fits and stuff.
Next we take our setting, a huge abundance of artists draw mostly people. (Not talking about the current furry trend), generally speaking, this is again what I've experienced. So, basically a lot of people do not know how or have no experience drawing creatures, do not know what StarCraft is and stuff, and that's where we are saved by Stukov, why? Because this is the only male character that is a human (Terran), familiar to almost 90% of artists of all stripes.
Why am I saying this? Because really not everything is so rosy when it comes to finding artists for the project. I'm not talking about regular team members, you can see that many scenes are different from each other, have some changes in the style of artists and stuff, it's not our intention, it's all part of life. Someone comes to us, someone leaves, and this is the basis of 18+ game development, many people do not want to spend a lot of time on this, as such work can not even be put into their portfolio (I say if they are counting on a career in AAA projects).
Next point, is of course the desire to do the usual scenes with human on human content, human anatomy is beautiful, and there are a lot of great reference ideas that we want to implement, implement because someone asked for some pose, we were inspired by the idea, but with zerg or Abathur it would simply be impossible to implement, and that's where Stukov comes in.
This is just a small part of the iceberg I told you about, in fact, we can talk about it forever, and most importantly, do not think that we want to harm our project, and that we deliberately do what you do not like. You have to understand that no one will ever be able to please everyone.

Why did you guys stop making the quests as mini games for the leaders that Sarah was getting from them. Because the task Sara got from the guard was without mini-games. It was very weak and hopeless.

Hi, there's more of a technical reason for that. Last year our programmer who was responsible for the minigames left, so the new programmer needs time to master all the necessary elements for minigame development. But don't worry, we still have some cool mini-games that are still to be implemented!

This means that where there were no mini games with some leader, you will rebuild the scene and add it?
