That's the plan! We've got our own set of priorities, mainly finishing the UI, and then we'll be tackling lower priority things.

I am just very happy to get the chance to play it some. It has be a very enjoyable game for me! I am happy with any new stuff and look forward to what ever comes next.
I just do not feel I in any way have any right to complain, as I am playing it for free.
EDIT >> I kind of like to think of my self as a beta tester
, And as all I am doing is testing, unless I find a game breaking bug. What they put in the game is not my concern.

I thought it was pretty straightforward A to B. If we can agree on the concept that art can be objectively wrong, and I haven't seen a direct contest of that so I assume we are able to, that telling the one who created it would be constructive. It allows them to go back and fix it, or change their approach in the future.
In this case a specific issue was pointed out, that the face isn't consistent with those of the previous artworks. One might take away that they need to spend more time on that CG or perhaps that this ( I don't know whether to call it style or technique) isn't suited towards art that depicts the face of the MC.
i hope the people complaining about the game paid for it lol. not saying it's a bad thing to give constructive criticism, but it seems like asking for too much when you know you haven't spent a single cent on it.
Helloo guys how do you play this game? I mean I want to download it in my new pc but I don't want to have this kind of content -okay Im not making a 50 lines post about why I don't want to have some girls with enormous cocks in my hard drive let's just go ahead with the final question- anyone have some way to play it by the which you don't leave any, let's say, clues that it's there?
Just have Java and put the JAR file in an external drive. It MIGHT leave some directory with general options your user/AppData directory, but it's quite anonymous so no problem there. All saves will stay in the same directory you put the JAR

This.
Or if you don't have a external drive put the java into a hidden folder.
Yeah seems the most smart option just hopefully nobody needs a drive and take mineThis.
Or if you don't have a external drive put the java into a hidden folder.
. Thanks to both of you btw I didn't even know I could run it in there

If you're going the teenage porn stash hidden folder method, make sure that you actually set the game files to hidden too so that they won't turn up using the search bar. Or if you want to be real fancy, you can run a VM out of a flash drive with all your rainy day toys in it..

*speaking of the "fuck animation like bandit"*
Y'now, that animation (I guess it means the side view with the x-ray option) is pretty cool, and pretty generic.
With little re-work could be used for many other encounters, setting it as a generic fuck scene.
And I do mean it needs little work effort.
It's just a "hue/saturation" slide of bars to switch colours -for example to green- and just maybe some very minor touch ups -like adding details-. No need to re-code animation or anything.
As a matter of fact, it's such a relatively simple thing to do, that Maj could do it if Alis really is short on time. Recoloring is very simple when the pics are already cropped like they do in animations.)
(I'm not going into the dumb discussion of "Alis is slow to work". I'm a professional artist so I know first hand how much effort and time it takes to make a well-planned full illustration that doesn't looks like a rushed over-done manga sketch *roll eyes*
And, just making note that I've been openly critic of Alis work -so none can accuse me of being an hypocritical douche-.
I can pretty much criticize every single picture and point out what's wrong or right, but that doesn't means the pictures have a lot of work, and Alis is -with all the problems- a true professional. Problems solve eventually with practice and experience, so no big deal.)
Or, you could create a hidden, encrypted partition on your HD. I use VeraCrypt.
It was originally intended as a generic animation, but before we really generalized it we want to expand on it, making sure that it looks nice and smooth, has things like prostate poking and cumming and we're satisfied with the overall look of it, and if we do have it apply to other characters, we would want to properly skin it (and even match body shape), not just set a hue slider to green.
We could slap it on every character standing anal easily enough, but we have more involved plans than that, for both it and an oral variant.

Ah, gotcha.
I tought it was finished.
I didn't mean to slap it on every character, but it could work well on specific NPCs.
For example, the goblin (as asaid, very little re-work), maybe the harpy (not sure about the size and foreskin) or the golem.
As Diemod says, I don't like the idea of having that on every encounter, but is cool enough to have it more often than just on Brigands.
In all honesty, I'm not sure if it really needs that much polishing.
It looks good, and it an all-around favourite as is.
Personally, I'd leave it like that, and do some minor changes as said. Keep moving on new stuff. But, if you promise reskining and other extra deluxe details, people will want even more, and you'll spend even more time.
The character personalization for example... while it doesn't really bothers me (since I play with the basic Hiro), I can see why it bothers others.
But that's because you added the option. Had not been there from the beginning, I doubt anyone would have complained: the game has a character with a specific look. Not a big deal.
These kind of extra details don't really add much to the overall experience, but on the contrary, it makes people wants something else.
Put the tip in and brag about the rest, and it would ask for 5 inches. Put the 5 inches, and it'll want another 5 inches
wasn't that unsure?
also, overkill.
the game itself leaves no "public" visible images or other compromising stuff. Just a JAR and a .toa-data directory with a number of JSON files.
rename the JAR to anything you like(it will work anyway), maybe something like driver_printers.jar and set the directory and the .toa-data directory to not be indexed.
You just made the whole thing mostly invisible and innocuous looking enough.
hell, rename the JAR to anything else and then open it with a command line input so people cannot open it by error
but, seriously, just put it on a USB key\SDCard and remember to take it with you when you go away from the PC
Well, who said it's only for ToA? You can keep all your lewd stuff there, like I do, and no one's the wiser. Although I agree that making a whole partition just for one game would be a major overkill
I feel like the biggest problem with TOA right now is inconsistency.
There's a lot of encounters which have a lot of options. Seriously, its not uncommon for an NPC to have five different scenes
But the issue is, only some of them actually get art, and there's no way to tell which except trial and error. Sometimes its just one, sometimes its all but one. But either way it's pretty much luck, and if you lose, you get a comparitively boring text scene instead of a wonderful image.
This is pretty disappointing, i think. Its an issue of quantity over quality.
Since the standard of nice art is already set, i'd much rather see options simply not be there unless there's a picture for them. Having tons of options for which no art exists, just dilutes the game and doesn't do much good i think
There's also an odd side issue where existing art isn't well used. Some monsters have multiple anal scenes, (for example, the fire elemental). And nice art exists for it, but only one of those scenes will use it, and the others just get nothing but text.
Of course, unique art for every permutation would be nice (though it's a lot to ask) but failing that, even just using reusing art would be good. and definitely better than nothing

I suggest everyone call the fuck down, things have been getting heated in this thread and soon the warning and thread bans will come.
Civilized conversations are fine and welcome, personal attacks and infighting are not.

I wish you could put some priority on improving sexual combat progression. As the others, I enjoy the game and appreciate the effort put into the custom illustrations, but every time I revisit it I quickly run out of steam and I have not even discovered all the possible scenes. I guess I'm looking for more game play progression to keep me going. While the extensive skill tree kinda suggests it at first, I quickly run out of reasons to choose new skills. I see no tactical reason to choose new ones as most of them seem to just be different in name not the effect in the given stance (I mean primarily the sex stances, as I prefer non violent solutions in this game).
Also the arousal vs lust mechanics is still a mystery to me, particularly as to which skill would affect which and by how much. To clarify all of this is a only an issue trying to win in combat as a top, which does not seem possible for all the monsters. For instance, from the recent patch notes I was expecting to be able to satisfy Harpy in combat by stuffing her ass, but after having her cum for about 10 times I had to give up. On the other hand defeating her with violence allows Hiro to satisfy her anally, a bit inconsistent if you ask me. On the other hand, tactical combat as a bottom is a no brainer, as most monsters already already want to fuck you anyway, so if they can be satisfied tactically it quickly becomes trivial and a bit boring.
I think what would help is more skill differentiation and skill interaction, not simple addition of more skills. To be fair, there is some interaction in the combat tree through stance changes, but in the sex combat it is lacking (in fact some very basic ones are missing, such as getting to a neutral stance from a controlling position in grapple, such as getting up from face sitting). I've heard term "emerging complexity" used in regards of successful gameplay systems. I am not 100% sure what it is but it seems to be lucking, as from my experience there is an initial complexity in learning the systen and then it becomes kinda flat.
At any rate love the game, just wish for more things to do in the future releases.
