RPGM Succubus Covenant Generation One: The Cursed Forest [Ch. 5] [Olympus]

[Evizzy89]

I have a full team, however, a full game takes longer. Most people don't have any idea of what it takes to develop a game or play test it.
-there are 30 girls;
-3000+ words for each that must be proofread;
-each girl has different abilities that must be tested individually, which means gridding them until max level;
-they must read all 64 hentai scenes and isolate the misspellings;
-They must test every girl in every city to see if their interactions are correct;
-they have their own personal life, and only have time during the weekends;
-They must search every map for game breaking bugs;
-They must test every feature of the game, which means each girl to see if everything is working for them. From gifts, to interactions and hentai scenes;
-They must test if the game is balanced, both combat-wise and item-wise around the maps of the game;
-They must suggest things that aren't obvious to the player, since I'm the developer, I might not be able to see them as not obvious, but might confuse a new player;
-I have to then correct every single of these mistakes and balance anything they found off

They are not just "playing" the game. Play testing is just not playing like an average player. It's playing with the intention of finding problems and reporting every mistake.

get a couple of horned up degens on your team, theyll have that shit hammered out in a few hours D=

two question
1. does this game have a full gallery (is every sex scene in the dream world) i was playing on someone else save and notice they had the witch in the dream world, i didn't.
2. do i have to died to the succubus for it to appear in the dream world. I've already played this game from start to finished on the current verison about 5 month ago, so i just wanna blaze through it again with rpgm save editor and enjoy the dream world

1-The gallery is not complete yet. Will be finished in chapter 5.
2-You have to defeat them for them to appear.

I am not complaining, but if your approach to proofreading/misspellings is playing the actual game, then it is extremely inefficient. I am assuming you won't be doing translations, but if you were, let's say add a couple of other languages, would your approach to testing them be, playing through the entire game while proofreading/correcting misspellings (ALL individual languages??!??).

That is crazy. What you should be using is a simple script with all the dialogs in a single file. The testers would read the script instead of playing the game. A single person dedicated to this is more than enough. There are also AI proofreading tools that would save you a couple of bucks in the long run.

Your approach may already be something like this, if it is, just ignore above text but if not you may take it as helpful feedback or discard this advice entirely.

Also, quick question, regarding balance, was the same team doing the testing for SC. Because throughout the mid section of the game, there was a major balance issues regarding those annoying tree mobs. They were just too numerous, respawning, but died to 1-2 hits. The actual animation of the battle loading was probably greater than the actual battle itself. Which is why, just a few more powerful mobs in a location ( that do not respawn ) would have been significantly better than 5-6 tiny mobs.

it's been quite a while since chapter 4, any news on chapter 5 progress?

 

[popup88888]

hello everyone, I saw a version where there are 23 succubus in the succubuspedia, while I only see 18 in mine, how can I fix it? thank you

You either have an older version OR You haven't fought the optional succubi.

They are not just "playing" the game. Play testing is just not playing like an average player. It's playing with the intention of finding problems and reporting every mistake.

As a professional software QA, I can confirm this is completely true. Testing software is boring, tedious, mind numbing and highly repetitive. Here is a simple example:
One main storyline with two branching paths. There are three locations where you could make a choice that would move you from one branch to another. This means that there are 2x2x2 possible combinations that you have to test to ensure that everything is working correctly.

Applying that logic to this game, there are 30 girls that you can play the game with. That means that the play testers will have to split up 30 playthroughs of the game, or 30 x 15 hours, in order to ensure the balancing is correct for each girl and each enemy you will have to face with said girl.

I've seen people mention a dream world/gallery, how do you access it ? because as of now I might have or not a save before each succubus to act like a gallery.

 

[Porn_Jesus]

after finishing the 2nd big area of the game (decaying woods/chapter 2), you can go to the mysterious angelic ruins to get a dream stone, bring that dream stone to the tent in your home and it is a gallery for the first 2 chapters
i'm still midway chapter 4 but so far there has been no gallery for chapter 3/4 stuff

Maybe you should also mention that you first need a key to enter said ruins. Maybe something like five fragments, mh?

 

[JohnnyAllister]

Ok thanks, I had the stone but since it mentionned the cabin I thought I had to do something at the camp and not at the mysterious angelic ruins, found it, now I can enjoy the real gameplay and pet the cat.

The download probably went wrong somewhere. Try downloading the game again <------- Remember to create a temporary folder and put your saves there

I did re-download it but it was from the same link, still getting the error, i'll try with another download link and see what happens. Thank you for the reply!

hello everyone, I saw a version where there are 23 succubus in the succubuspedia, while I only see 18 in mine, how can I fix it? thank you

If yours is capped at 18, that means you're using a Chapter 3 save. The only fix is to start the game over. I'd recommend waiting till chapter 5 for that. It's an issue with the plugin used. I think Zion mentioned replacing it with a better plugin in the future, but not sure.

Is this normal? Certain NPCs don't have portrait picture

Yes. Their portrait is a silhouette. I used it for some NPCs.
