Unity Abandoned Subject: The First Escape [v0.6.0c public] [Nattmara Strange Games]

[Mad Scientist]

Thanks for your reply, Mad. I just found your latest update, so I'll be downloading again from Mega to my c-drive, copying to my e-drive & taking it for a spin. Not sure I want to replicate the problem tho'. I'm cowardly that way, so I'll be creating a restore point on my c-drive before I do. Film at 11 !

Also, another friend on this thread sent me a link to a Microsoft support thread about this problem. Thing is, almost everything in the forum concerning that error is about Office being unable to launch. (A big problem for the folks there.) It makes me wonder if the game somehow tried to launch Office & found itself in conflict with it. Is that even possible? Either way it doesn't explain the Houdini act my e-drive tried to pull. Hmmmm...

mmm... This is very strange. My game is made with unity and the only thing that has to do with MicroSoft is the Direct X... But let me do a research on that. Thanks for the Info Dude!

Hello Dude!

Save feature is a must dude!

Thanks Dude!

Yours, Dude

Hey dude!

Thnaks for trying the game... Many people is telling me the same.

Mad Scientist knows how to listen to the community. This feature is now on my top of the list

 

[Mad Scientist]

It seems like an intresting game I was enjoying playing and admire anyone who takes the time to create a game. However withouth a save funtion I won't be playing again as I encountered the same esc key closing the game bug that has been reported and don't wish to just replay from the start again. I'm glad the bug has been fixed now though Keep plugging away mad scientist.

Hey dude!

Thanks for trying my game and for your nice comments. Now the saving option is a top development priority since many people is asking me for that. Soon I will have news about the next release!

 

[Mad Scientist]

Just a quick thing, the double esc to exit thing is a HORRIBLE idea. It's virtually always: Esc -> confirmation dialog -> esc -> exits the dialog as if pressing cancel, while enter meaning "yes, exit". I might give up on the game just because of that and no skip cutscene.

EDIT: Seems my progress wasn't saved. I did just give up on the game, maybe I'll remember it in a few months and give it another try, but the esc thing is not funny in the least.

Hey dude! Thanks for trying the game!

The double ESC key to quit game is for PANIC reasons LOL

But let me Check what we can do about the SKIP Cinematics option. Thanks for this cool suggestion. I hope you like this game in the next few Builds.

Cheers!

 

[Mad Scientist]

i hate to sound like a dick but there really need to be an option to skip the cut scenes, that would be lovely, also a control config menu would be great as well

HEllo Netherus! Thanks for playing the game!!

The "Saving" and "Skip Cut Scenes" Options are going to be developed for this next release. The "Config Menu" maybe is going to take me a little bit longer but for sure is on the key features list to be developed.

Thanks for the feedback and keep tunned for news

 

[Mad Scientist]

Same here, get your shit together, give us at least save and no button that close everything. This game look very promising which is why it is pissing me off that these dumb thing ruin the whole thing.

Hey dude!

Thanks for your feedback!

The save option is now on the top of the development list and the ESC bug in the morph chamber is fixed on the 0.5.0c build available at my patreon. As soon as I have the Saving option I will let you know on this tread.

Sorry for sometimes let this silly bugs in the game, but right now I'm the only one creating the game and some times one or 2 annoying bugs escape from my sight

On any case I hope soon to reach my first patreon goal and hire more people!

Please keep tunned and don't hesitate on telling me any problem that you have with the game!

 

[Mad Scientist]

Press "esc" to exit (during the body change thingy).

Pressed escape, game closes. and there is no saving. I'm sorry dev, but this doesn't work for me. Game has potential though, I"ll check it out later once a save/load system is included.

Hey dude!

Thanks for the feedback and for playing the game.

The Saving option is now a top priority and will be ready in the next release! YAY!

About the "ESC BUG" it is fixed on the 0.5.0c build available on my patreon page... but where do you suffer this problem? When trying to exit from the Morph Chamber?

 

[Mad Scientist]

I like the clinical torture-porn premise. More could be done with it, of course. The chambers currently feel pretty brief and unsatisfying, not the horrific nightmare rooms they should be. It's also unclear how the character is reacting to the test - is she receiving blunt trauma to the genital region or is she having the orgasm of her life? What is the chamber actually doing to her? Maybe something like a SCP Containment Breach-like briefing page would be in order. And definitely more reactions from the actors to convey the physical and psychological trauma.

So, what does it matter whether Viktor can see you on camera or not? Is that going to be a gameplay mechanic?

Hey Pailbat!

Thanks for playing the game and for your great insights!

The chambers, animations and reactions will be improved when the project begins to move forward on the Patreon goals. That is for sure!!!

Right now I'm the only one doing the entire game, and I need to let some areas not so polished in order to create/Improve others that impact more negative on the game experience. But the good news is that the game architecture is prepared to quickly improve areas like animation, sound, music, etc as soon as I can hire more people. On any case I'm very happy that this game concept is very attractive for many people

Your idea of a SCP Containment Breach-like briefing page is a very cool one! I will take this very in count and your other Ideas to create a more immersive and rich experience.

By the way, I'm very glad that you notice the "Victor's Blind Spots" warning. This will become a very important mechanic in the future. But I don't want to spoil it here. On any case, if you want more info, you can join us on Discord. I just wanr you that there are a lot of spoilers. Even the end CGI animation of this game that start the sequel so be careful on what you read there

Hey dude!

Good listening and community outreach, dude!

Talking about oneself in the third person is a real dude move, dude!

In all seriousness though, good luck on your game, I would also suggest seeing if you can get the OP updated to better reflect the current state of your game. I downloaded it expecting a comic book with choices style of game, was fairly pleasantly surprised until I ran into the esc quitting the game bug.

In my brief time playing the game there were some things that could be improved. The biggest issue is that in order to see most of the content you have to intentionally play terribly and disadvantage yourself. There were heaps of times where I picked up clothes in a room, only to then intentionally lose them ten paces away because I wanted to actually see the content. A good save feature will help that. Another idea would be to have a gallery feature where you can see the failure animations of areas that you have beaten. So if you clear one of the chambers perfectly you still get to view the failure scenes without having to do save and reloads or lose all your clothes and stuff.

It also felt like having clothes didnt really benefit me in any way. Having a more noticeable effect on your health or defense would be good.

The fighting needs some work, I get that its basic and that is fine, but it felt like the block action was totally pointless and that the only - and best way - to win was just stun locking dudes by attacking as soon as you had enough stamina to attack.

Last thing, having voice acting is nice, and Im sure people appreciate the effort and no one expects perfection, I would just try mastering it a little better. The most glaring issue is the voices in the sex scenes sound very very different to the dialogue, also theyre weirdly way quieter.

Wasn't intending to leave such a detailed comment but I felt bad after making fun of you saying dude way too much, and you responding in a kind and genuine way hahah

GL bro, man, mate (anything but dude )

Exactly there, but it seems to be fixed indeed with the new build. I finished the whole game now, looking forward to more content.

 

[MorDraka09]

Definitely worth the effort, could do with a few more fight actions thou but enjoyed it now that the kill bug has be fixed

I'm very glad that now you enjoyed the level! As soon as I finish the creation of the most important functionalities and game mechanics I will start to create more content, along with fight actions!

Keep tuned!

mmm... This is very strange. My game is made with unity and the only thing that has to do with MicroSoft is the Direct X... But let me do a research on that. Thanks for the Info Dude!

I should say that link to MS Support could be confusing, as one could imagine this problem is somehow connected to MS Office, but it's not. The 0xC0000142 error relates to any program that failed to load properly. The reasons could be as diverse as: faulty installation of the program, corrupted or missing system files, a virus, outdated libraries like DirectX or .net, outdated drivers, faulty hard drive etc.

In case of Watchraven, I'd say it's a hard drive or SATA controller on the motherboard. I'd recommend trying to run the game from SSD before transferring it to HDD. Also, it's worth scanning the hard with any prog that understands thoroughly SMART data. You can try CrystalDiskInfo, it has neat anime girls in the background , or any others like, HD Tune, Victoria HDD, HDDScan, Hard Drive Inspector and so on...

No worries bro! No harm done!

The first step to build a community is not to get angry with the community and I'm a very relaxed guy anyways

All your ideas are incredible! Thanks for share!

On the Discord server we are discussing a way to manage clothes in the items menu. That way the player can choose what to wear and when. So you can decide to be naked, topless or just wearing shoes

At this moment the clothes only serve you to avoid being raped by enemies. But at the time we could add pieces of clothing that improve the armor for example ... Yes, it's definitely interesting.

I will review the fight system at the time to see how to make it more fun and challenging. That's going to take a little time for the amount of programming required, but you can count on it.

The gallery so that the player can enjoy all the content without having to negatively affect their game as a performance, give it for granted. As soon as I finish the most urgent mechanics like the game saved I'll start with this one!

Also on the lewd moments with enemies, we were thinking of implementing a system of seduction where the player can have sex at will with the enemies in order to distract and deactivate or steal cybernetic implants.

I would love if you to join us on our Discord server! This game feeds on this kind of community ideas!

WOW! Perverso! Me impresionas!

I'm very impressed! You sound like a Hardware/Software guru! I would never think of it! Let me download the CrystalDiskInfo and check my system.

Right now I'm compiling the game on my MacBook Pro and is always on a SSD disk... so let´s wee what we find!

 

[mett]

Is the camera supposed to be 360ing around her constantly or is that a bug?

Hey Mett!

This is not supposed to happend and this is the only report about this behaviour. Can you please tell me how to duplicate the bug so I can fix it?

thanks dude!

Updated OP with v0.5.0c links

 

[primeumaton]

This game has strong potential. However without the save/load feature, it simply is too obnoxious to try more than once.
Also, when crouching her butt turns into a deflated ball lol.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Updated OP with v0.5.0c links

Sweet!!! Thanks a lot!!!

I'm doing some new graphics and video that reflects the actual stage of the game following the recommendation of vengefulspirit, and I was wondering if I can post them in here so you the people from the staff can help me to update the OP... IDK what is the correct procedure for it
