Java Tales of Androgyny [v0.3.46.2] [Majalis]

Money steers the direction of the game not you crying on a pirate forum.

Criticism is not "crying". Having too much support in the first place is what made the devs so lazy. The game was better 3 years ago.

 

[Bob69]

is it normal that it's the 3.25.4 despite downloading the 3.26 ?

Yeah, not much change between 25.4 and 26.0, if any only bug fixes. Uploader just marked it wrong.

Just ignore that person, its clear they have no clue what they are talking about, its like that dude that suggested the sound guy does art, now the animation guy has to do art too.

Im suggesting that we either get art or animation in each update. It has been like this for years now, this is nothing new. This isnt a 100 person gaming studio. If we get a kissing animation, we dont get new art for all the already existing scenes. All the art is done by Alis, all the animations as well afaik. There is no " Sound guy making animations". And even if there were, saying I prefer more art for all the scenes instead of small animations is a valid opinion.

I have replaced the jar of the last update in my 3.26 folder but it says i am in 3.25.4 ingame, is it normal ?

 

[YangQi]

nvm it works now

 

[Bob69]

Incorrect. You see that's why I said you have no clue.

Apparently there's no room for criticism around here. As you said, there are lots of scenes without art, and when someone as much as suggests that maybe they should do something about that instead of using their resources to hire someone to make different music for each encounter, they take it as a personal attack. Now you make a very valid point about focusing on making art for those scenes instead of art for kissing, and here we are again, name calling and making fun of you instead of ignoring it or talking about it like normal people would do.

It's not useful criticism because it's a point that's been asked and answered a hundred times; there's nothing to be done about it. We're not hiring another artist for consistency. And kissing art is art for scenes without art. It's a waste of everyone's time to argue about which scenes get art first.

Here, I'll put it another way: "your game doesn't need music for each character" is perfectly valid criticism. I also disagree with it, and so the discussion is over. I want music for every character, and it doesn't cost me or Alis much time, the actual "resource" we need to manage. If I had asked what a porn game "needs", this game would be an art gallery.

Another kiss animation, lame. So many scenes lack art, but we get animated kisses instead? This is why I stopped following the dev on patreon

i call it 'wallet foreplay'

Here we go again...
Anyway.
Can the magician help you in Fights?
I know elf heals you

Or raise enemy lust passively... Maybe make them more submissive/dominant as directed?

I think it's more of a how you say something rather than what you say. Although his original post wasn't constructive as it was just him complaining that he didn't get what he wanted from the update.

Considering she blasts you when you fight her I would assume that she would occasional blow someone up. I did forget that Urka does things during the fights though.

Well, I mentioned there are also 4 females who can only be topped, not top. There is Minotauress, but to get this scene you need three stats equal 10, which is one hell of requirement. Overall, point was you have little opportunity to get the top scenario. But you have it in multiple instances.

On one hand, adding more checks in stats and perks is logical. I would say Charisma stat itself is quite useless without it being frequently checked in encounters. On the other hand, there's a ton of checks you have to remember even now. But yes, why having 10 Red Perks and using each in 0-2 instances overall

Yeah, maybe I was being a little pedantic, sorry about that. I get carried away

Welp, IF I choose to play this, I'm using cheats then come in like Yulaw from this movie called "The One" and be like, "I am Hiro! I'm nobody's bitch. You will be mine." Before topping every chick and futa in the damn game. Again, thats IF I even play the game though. Seen gameplay clips on Pornhub and only seen one person with gameplay showing Hiro actually topping a few futas which prompted me to FINALLY consider playing this game.

Yeah, that's my honest recommendation. If you like bottoming, then the game will be perfectly fine and satisfying without cheats probably, but if you're a topper like me, I feel like cheats are pretty necessary unless you want to be frustrated and flaccid for most of the game... and even then, as I said, this game's focus doesn't appear to be topping, so the content balance is not equal... though don't know what the endgame plans of the dev are, if he plans to add a bunch more or not by the time it's finished or if he simply bases it on what his patrons want.

Anyways, I think cheating just involves making char, saving, and then editing the savegame text file, so get a good text editor like editpad lite (what I use) and you should be good to go.... set all your stats to at least 10, maybe 20 just to be safe, add bunch of skill points, level skills up high, add gold to purchase best gear you can find, etc. and combat should be pretty effortless and you'll get all encounter options open to you... then just save often and load if you happen to fail or make a mistake. And a tip: don't 'top' your doppelganger lol... it counts as being bottomed Which is hilarious, of course, but...

Loving the fact there are a lot of feminine futa's with big butts and huge tits, would be nice if you could actually make the MC the same though... I know even if you do it still makes the scene having the MC without giant knockers... not into that femboi shit, just not what I'm into and it seems like a forced option when it comes to the scenes atleast. If there were some way to edit the settings you select into the scenes instead of going through the femboi stuff that'd make it alot more enjoyable for folks like me. Other than that good art and stuff, it'd just be nice if you incorporated the options you give in the settings to the actual scenes instead of it changing to default femboi.

If you still have the zip file that you downloaded of from one of these links from the OP:
View attachment 2181473

Then delete everything else you unzipped from it so that you can start over. Once you have done that:

1. Unzip to make a new Tales Of Androgyny game folder.
2. Go in the game folder.
3. Double click on TalesOfAndrogyny.exe to play.

If you want to play this week's update in your game. AFTER you made sure the game runs ok in the first three steps above... then

1. Download the JAR file from one of these links on OP:
   View attachment 2181471
2. Make sure it is named TalesOfAndrogyny.jar
3. Replace the old JAR already in the game folder
4. Double click on TalesOfAndrogyny.exe to play.

And you should be fine.

Thank you!! I must have messed something up when unzipping the files. I don't know how I would have but it worked lol. thank you.

It's not useful criticism because it's a point that's been asked and answered a hundred times; there's nothing to be done about it. We're not hiring another artist for consistency. And kissing art is art for scenes without art. It's a waste of everyone's time to argue about which scenes get art first.

Here, I'll put it another way: "your game doesn't need music for each character" is perfectly valid criticism. I also disagree with it, and so the discussion is over. I want music for every character, and it doesn't cost me or Alis much time, the actual "resource" we need to manage. If I had asked what a porn game "needs", this game would be an art gallery.

On the topic of useful criticism, was hoping I could ask the following:

1. Bug reports - is there a current plan with addressing bug reports? Because it all but seems like the bug report threads are destined to have little to no reply, and then be archived / discarded.
Discarded thread: https://itch.io/t/139487/known-issues-and-bug-reports?before=403
Current thread: https://itch.io/t/1414117/known-issues-and-bug-reports?before=283
Period of inactivity with regards to bugs:

2. Game resolution - is there any possible way that the game resolution could have the "Maximized" option use the native OS' Maximize UI? Because currently, at least on my display, the "Maximized" option results in things being cut off. This goes for a number of resolutions used for the game.
Miss the old option to be able to Maximize the screen native to the OS and have it be automatically correct to the display, with nothing cut off.

3. The "futa+" filter - is there any possibility of it restricting / changing more scenes? I know I asked this question before, and the post was deleted for some reason, but it just seems like the filter / option could have more of an impact. Such as restricting scenes with male NPCs - like for example Jack in the centaur village game over. Doesn't really make sense for his encounter / scenes to still be present when Ella is already an option (as in, she could probably be the only option with "futa+" enabled). Another would be the male goblins being restricted, seeing as Selkie is the futa alternative.
Just wish it would have more of an impact, or have more practical use than altering a select few encounters / scenes.
However, this would probably require an additional filter (such as "male+") if people wished to encounter both (or interact with male NPCs), so yeah. Might not be feasible, but I'm hoping with the new encounter editor it would possibly make the process easier, if you deemed the change to make sense, and / or be something Patrons would be interested in.

4. More forewarning with some of the encounters / scenes - is there any possibility of having some more warning about certain scenes? For instance scenes where Hiro inadvertently ends up on the receiving ends of things, despite no "Requires: Slut" being present.
Almost seems as though (currently) one has to read through the script.js if they want to make sure a certain encounter / scene isn't going to play out like that - due to some of the scenes not having that "Requires" warning show up (such as the Brigand Oral scene, or Trudy's in-camp training).

5. More of a gripe than anything else, so not necessarily criticism - but is there any possibility of some of the NPCs to change their attitude toward Hiro? For instance Urka or the "Weresluts". It just seems a bit odd that they act (and in some cases, explicitly mention) that Hiro is more powerful / strong than them, yet they easily overpower Hiro right after that (Urka post defeating her topping her scene, where she forces Hiro to perform fellatio on her and seemingly takes control halfway through the deed & the "Wereslut" after defeating her with high Strength without the "Scentless" perk).
Seems like Hiro just isn't meant to have any form of control with certain NPCs, despite them (the NPCs) seemingly initially implying as such.
Would like it if there was a possibility of certain NPCs that are typically dominant being able to become more submissive after repeatedly being defeated (Hiro being victorious) - otherwise it just seems like there's no real point trying to interact with certain NPCs, because the only content for them will always be dominant in nature.
Another thing I'd add on here is that Trudy has a weird mix of characterization of being a "powerbottom" when initially encountered - yet upon recruiting suddenly is pretty much explicitly dominant ("topping") towards Hiro and Kylira. Only appearing to (really) "bottom" for (masculine) Male NPCs or Futa NPCs, such as Urka.
Again, seems a bit odd considering one of the paths for recruiting Trudy is outsmarting him, and beating him in combat. The "bratty" nature is fine, but not really having any sort of respect or be willing to truly "bottom" for Hiro just seems a bit odd when considering the above.

Anyway, would really appreciate a reply to the above, because, as far as I can tell to date, I'm pretty sure you've never actually replied to any of my posts, despite me replying to you multiple times.
Such as this initial post (https://f95zone.to/threads/tales-of-androgyny-v0-3-26-3-majalis.1643/post-5849160) from more than a year ago.

Apologies if I've offended you with any of my posts, but yeah, not entirely sure of any other reason for it seeming as though I'm possibly being ignored.

MAJALIS CHECK YOUR MAIL ADD OUR COMPLETED TRANSLATION TO THE GAME

Also, I, the person who has some clue probably, also agree that I don't like the game development direction nor the current update. Kiss art is, uhm... bad. Updates are not what game needs, certainly packing more slave scenes for Urka was not necessary. But I don't think it's Majalis' fault, no, in fact they're model developers as I can see it.

Majalis need community's feedback, smart and constructive, to make a smart course of action. For example, they fixed the goblin egging problem only now because LMAO IT WAS REPORTED ONLY NOW. Seriously, contact the guys if you think something could be fixed.

There are many people in this thread who can provide really good tips on how the game mechanics should be improved. People with years of dedication to the game. Yet they don't do a thing in this direction. And when people are criticizing, they're doing face. That's not the way to go. I'm coming from Bionicle community myself. It's small, old but very active community built around a unique project. I know that it is all possible when people are united by something. We have a unique project for ourselves and we have enough people to provide Majalis with constructive feedback. Let's contact them with our constructive and objective opinion from now on and generally be more active with doing something around this project development.

I mean if you spend time on it already, you can spend some of it to contact devs with something useful

 

[-Agito-]

Story encounters are unique. So, what happened is probably they didn't generate for you because you started Story-mode on older version. Maybe you have to restart it.

No, there's no second map yet.

Ahhh okay, that's exactly what I was thinking. Thanks man.

I swear to god, I just want a scene of us fucking that giant catgirl ass; instead of reading it out.
