I've tried the online version for as long as I could ... about 6 very long minutes.

For a text-based game you definitely need to change the font/typeface for all parts of the game where you write more than one or two words!

Your current font is almost painful to read on a computer monitor. :oops:

Hi, thanks for the feedback.
Yeah, font was one of those things that I was never sure about... In the options menu you can change the font, but it only changes the main window's font and nothing else. So I'll try to adjust that.

Hi everyone!

New update just released. It is now in version 0.02.
Here's a short changelog:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

The new area is released, you can finally explore a bit of the outside world. There's quite a couple new scenes to find. In the next update I will add a tracker to all the unseen events. That should make it easier to know if you've seen everything.

Tell me what you think!

BFPenguin I haven't played this game yet, but I was wondering, do you plan to have a roughly equal amount of sexual content for those interested in male characters as you do female characters?
I'm asking because quite a number of games that start off giving the impression they'll equally cater toward people interested in stuff with male NPCs/characters (people playing a gay male character or a hetero female character) end up all but abandoning that content and instead focus on female characters, or only have very little of that male directed content in comparison. I'm also asking because it's really dismaying to get into a game only to have that happen over time, so I'd really like to know where it's leaning from the start, if possible.

I will try my best to add the same amount of content for both preferences. I'll also try to balance them between Dom and Sub. I don't have an actual counter of how many of each interaction I am writing, so it will be a rough estimate, but I want it to be well balanced.

Hello.

I wasn't expecting much but the game was entertaining. For information, I tried the online version.

The worldbuilding is limited but enough for a beginning.
The characters are few and different.
The story is really interesting.
There's no art yet but the style is definitely original.

So this game is a good surprise but everything seems to happen very quickly. For example, you can interact with each member of your crew only once and, though you're supposed to be their friends for a long time, we don't learn that much about them. The same can be said about the shower sex scene with Sullivan : they don't know the MC they just rescued yet and the first time they are in the shower something sexual can happen immediately.
It could be useful to add a message when we found all the locations available. We can continue to explore for the random events but won't still expect to find another location since there's no more.
Adding a description of the items that can be purchased (what they look like, their use, their caracteristics).
The screenplay is different than usual. It needs a period of adaptation but it's really well thought and original. The colors for each characters and the internal thoughts of the MC are giving life to the game, really what is needed for a text based game.
The customization is also very well made.

When we are checking our character or the quest log, it can happen that we have to click again after clicking on "close", the screen staying blurry like it didn't work properly.

  • Added a system to check for player nudity and appropriate reactions
    • (More events to come for this)
Is it also available for strange outfits? For exemple, I've gone searching the package in pajama but nobody seemed bothered by it (I didn't know yet how to change clothes).

Thanks for showing interest!

Then, I'll ask a precision. Will it be possible to be bi and have specific bi sex scene?

Good continuation.

Some critique so far, with what little content there is, it seems to lean towards submission and voyeurism. There's an audience for that, certainly, though with the character creation elements it lends to a feel of intent towards more player activity.

I can tell you at least from my perspective, I don't really enjoy watching other people have sex. I personally especially dislike the 'dog-walking' scene you can get by exploring the residential area. The scene introduction, and the possibility of where it can go has it's appeal, but walking the redhead lady around only to watch her get railed by some random dude also pretending(or is mentally a dog, I don't know), is particularly distasteful. Naturally, there are individuals who will enjoy that sort of thing, but I would advise providing options in these cases, for the player themselves to participate. You've provided an option to ignore, which is considerate, though if all your content is something the players would want to ignore they simply won't play it.

As it stands, the player as a straight male can either provide oral to the ship bimbo, get a handjob from the maid, get a blowjob from a gloryhole, or watch a collection of other individuals get busy and just watch. That is a ratio I'm sure you intend to change as you develop your game, though it's a poor showing content-wise for the first impressions of your project.

As for the styling, traces of humor, and concept. That's all pretty good.

I would also advise making the pronoun/gender selection more clear when you select it.

All in all, apart from the initial content you've provided, it's a promising concept and I look forward to how it progresses.

Thanks @Oliz81. As you can tell the game is still very early in dev. I'll provide some more info here. (Sorry for the wall of text)

So this game is a good surprise but everything seems to happen very quickly. For example, you can interact with each member of your crew only once and, though you're supposed to be their friends for a long time, we don't learn that much about them. The same can be said about the shower sex scene with Sullivan : they don't know the MC they just rescued yet and the first time they are in the shower something sexual can happen immediately.
More info about the crew members will appear as you play the game and the first missions will eventually have more info about them. For example a scene where the MC tells Alex and the others about his crew while trying to hide the fact that they are pirates.
I wanted the game to be fast. It may sound counter-productive since it is a text based game. But I dislike when porn games take ages to get started. Sometimes I just want to get to the porn. There will still be a story for those interested in that, but I want the option to get down and dirty to be there as soon as possible.

It could be useful to add a message when we found all the locations available. We can continue to explore for the random events but won't still expect to find another location since there's no more.
Adding a description of the items that can be purchased (what they look like, their use, their caracteristics).
The event list that will be added in the next update will also keep track of "hidden locations". So if there's anything secret, you will know about it. Hopefully resolving the issue.
I agree with the shop problem. In fact, I tried to have it display the item's description but it didn't look good. I'll go back to the drawing board with it.

When we are checking our character or the quest log, it can happen that we have to click again after clicking on "close", the screen staying blurry like it didn't work properly.
I was under the impression that this only happened on mobile. It seems to me that the download version doesn't have this issue, so I have to do some research on it. Thanks for the heads-up.

Is it also available for strange outfits? For exemple, I've gone searching the package in pajama but nobody seemed bothered by it (I didn't know yet how to change clothes).
Not yet. I wanted to add it together with reaction to sexual clothing, so I'm trying to get it for the next update.


Then, I'll ask a precision. Will it be possible to be bi and have specific bi sex scene?
Eventually yes. I'll go ahead and spoil a scene that I have in mind. You can invite Sullyvan for a threesome with a character that is coming in the next update, if you are male you can penetrate and be penetrated at the same time.

Hope you enjoy the game! If you have any other concerns/questions, please go ahead.

Yeah, I definitely want to balance that ratio. I also want to add more variations to existing scenes down the line. As I develop I will go back and add more options to previous events. I've already written an option to "shoo" away the other dog-person and doggy-style the woman yourself.
What I want from the game right now though is weird, silly and a bit "out there". Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but I'd argue no game is.

seems like there's a duplication bug, your sex toys and even your clothing can be duplicated by (i think, not completely sure this is the cause) going to the public restrooms and either sucking, getting sucked, or doing both back to back. that or checking out the clothing shop. it's also possible it's caused by going back to the sex shop. note that this applies to clothing you bought a while ago too. I look forward to more updates on this, I like the initial concept. note these were all purchased items that were duplicated.

Oh man. This one had me scratching my head...
Thanks so much for the heads up! I fixed it and it will be up on the next version.

This is the third update for Station Eternal!

This was a short month for me. I had a lot of work to do at my actual job and have some real life issues going on. This means smaller update, but hopefully big enough to keep you entertained.

I have made the decision to further divide the game into chapters. This means you won't get the ending of the main story that soon, but it also means that I can spend more time perfecting each area. This first chapter will be contained entirely inside the starting city.

This update also features the first time I have help from a fellow writer! Enclave, a porn game enthusiast has decided to give me a helping hand with some content.

The biggest update for this month is the event list. A list where you can see all of the events currently in the game and get some help on how to trigger them. Hopefully this will help people figure out if they found all the content.

I also addressed an issue that some users mentioned which was the lack of options during some scenes. I expect to expand them even further in the future.


Here's the full changelog for this version:

Hope you guys like this one!

The pixel art logo had me hopeful, but from the look of those preview images this game must be purely text.
What a shame. Maybe they'll add image pack support eventually or something.
Maybe an question towards the developer....
Where does "the journey lead us to" UI wise?...
Can we hope for some fun Pixel Sprites?...
What Tags do you want to add in future Releases?...
Would you even accept ideas Contentwise?
or do you have the Story already fully flashed out in your head?

Hi there.

Not sure what you mean on your first question...

I'm still not sure about how I want the portraits to be done. I wanted to talk to an artist friend of mine to make some portraits, but he has been very busy. Hopefully I'll be able to show some of his stuff soon. To answer the question: No, it won't be pixel art. At least not yet, maybe in the future if I can afford another artist.

I've already added some more tags since release, but still want more. I want the game to be almost a catch all in a way. An environment that includes everyone and for that a lot of fetishes. Writing for this game has been a blast because I can essentially write about anything (with some small exceptions).

I'd love to receive ideas! That's usually the hardest part right now. Coming up with what to write. Which is why I jumped to the idea of having someone helping me there. If you have any idea please go ahead!

I have the main story ready, but I like to think that the main story is really the side content in this game. The biggest part of the game is all the side content and random events that can pop-up.

Hope that clears it all.
