Thanks! Just looking to finish what vibecaster started.Glad to see this game back on its feet! What are the plans for it?
The first big minor update, v0.1.2, should be out by the day after tomorrow if all goes to plan (im hoping to have it out by christmas at the latest). Thatll have a massive expansion for the Jared and mom route. Right now it should add about 13 new scenes to the game (if my counting is correct and nothing crazy changes between now and when i release it). Its all written and in the game i just have to play through the game a bit more to make sure it fits together with everything nicely after that.
Biggest thing thatll be happening continuously throughout development is balancing, just making sure the odds of one event happening over another aren't too annoying/dont mess with the flow of the game too much.
The core of the game will remain largely the same. Only additions in terms of mechanics that i have planned so far are the new grading system (now your grades actually go down if you skip school with consequences if your grades fall too low) and adding a weekend to the game to hopefully break up the flow. the first one already got added in the last patch of the game (v0.1.1) while the second one will be later in development (most likely not in v0.2.0).
You could also use some videos/images from the trap edition to aliviate a little your work
Not sure what exactly you mean by "fusing" here but since I get a number of comments about other versions ill just briefly touch on them here (that way i can just link other people to this in the future).I hope you consider fusing it with the other offshoots of it.
Ive said this before but ive never played any other versions aside from the base game (idk if there are more outside of succubus dream trap edition and incubus dream but let me know if there are) and so i dont really know anything about those games or about how they may be mechanically different from the base game.
I know about small differences (like the trap edition having a dark mode which i had already planned on adding to this game before v0.2.0 at the latest) but if there are certain mechanics you think should be added, please let me know and i can look into it!
As for ripping scenes/images, im a bit more hesitant to start doing that for one main reason and that is that vibecaster had said when they abandoned the project (at least on tfgames idk about here) that they were open to other people picking up the torch and finishing the game (i wouldve never gone public with the project if it werent for that). With those other games though, unless i look into it and see people giving out those same kinds of permissions, im gonna try and stray away from ripping off their shit just cause i dont wanna make it seem like im taking someones work and trying to play it off as my own (even if we all are at the end of the day just taking porn clips and making up narratives around them).
And i know i could take a weekend to play through a bunch of different version of the game and find out for myself but this is a hobby project of mine and outside of this i work alot and so for the time being im just trying to get as much progress made on this so that when my college classes start back up again in a couple weeks i can feel more comfortable about not updating the game as frequently.
Thanks for the feedback. Ill look at how i can go about doing this best in future updates (no promises on it being in v0.1.2 but maybe in .3 or .4).Hey man, mind adding a progress bar (or just make it 0/xxx) on stuff? It is very hard to tell how long it will still take, it gets really frustating since nothing is indicating progress.
The original game used a notification system to tell you when you reached certain milestones in each route but 1 i dont think this alone would 100% solve the issue that youre talking about and 2 the dev used a third party tool to do this and for the time being idk whether or not id prefer making a notification solution of my own.
My current solution to this issue will just be to add more detail to the "relationships" page in your bedroom, showing you how far along you are on a certain part of a character's route.
Sorry if this response is a little unsatisfying for the time being but thanks again for leaving your feedback
