Java Tales of Androgyny [v0.3.49.1] [Majalis]

[Owmybrainhurtz]

When will be added breast image for main character?I see in game you can choose what form of your breast,also lips and booty

Been waiting on it for months and months...at this point I think they're just hoping we forgot they promised that.

 

[ssj782]

I noticed that there's a bug with some of the events not resetting on a new character. Like the mouth fiend, for instance. Even a brand new character isntantly gets the slavery end when you meet her for the first time.

where did they mention this? can you source it? because I remember the community talking about it not majalis

I like this game, but, damn, did the they make it a mess. They make 4 images a month and a couple of text encounters for the game with, I think, around 30 sex-able characters; each with 3-4 scenes worthy of being illustrated. Even with half of them done, that's still a couple of years just to clear all existing characters. And they keep adding them! And now they've added race/hair/eye variation on top of an already ambitious bust/arse/penis system! How the heck are they planning to finish this game without making absolutely massive cuts to the content quality/quantity?

Still, one of the best H-games out there.

246 pages in and people still don't really understand the combat in this game.

This IS supposed to be a porn game, right? I don't understand why they made such a complicated and pain in the ass combat system to go with it.

Imagine it as a Dungeons and Dragon game with futanari monsters. You need to pay attention to the enemy choices in the combat if you want an easy win and thats why you should go warrior if you want to win as a virgin the easiest way because you just rush them with blitz and when the enemy rushes towards you just shield or if you got Gladius 2 just ignore and spam blitz and everytime you fall down just stand up and continue blitz spam. Generally the enemy wont be able to fight back because they try to defend from your attacks which hurt a lot.

Or Thief is a another choice where you can put points into charisma so you have 5 and then you can have an easier game time with money etc and the dryad getting free food but the playstyle is the same according to me. Rush them down and check your balance.

Mage though was my starter class in combat back in the days but I switched since early mage is bad against Werewolf etc. However once you got your armor and your spells it is probably a great damage dealer.

Enchanter is just you maxing charisma and the erotic perk fucking your enemies and winning that way.

Ranger idk but its similar to Rogue i guess, haven't really played it but I know you can shoot arrows with it.



I will maybe release a document in the future with a guide how to play the damage classes properly.

Try to play the game as "I am going to stay virgin as long as possible" because it will add some new variety of gameplay atleast during encounters and before encounters like the Naga, you'll have to scout before you go in avoiding to get fucked.

I did not get a chance to look over the files but this is not the first time they have made changes to the animations. I think this is the 4th or 5th time they have altered Hiro's animation files since I started the mod. It's generally quite a bit of work because it pretty much requires me to have to start over from scratch. Copy and paste generally does not work with the animation files.

Plus the face is completely different now but what I can definitely say is I do not like the new face on Hiro at all. It's a definite downgrade in my opinion. The actual animation does look much smoother though and the facial expressions are a really nice touch too.

I also think it's pretty silly that you can choose your hair color but every still image in the game will still show Hiro as a brunette. So what was really the point to this change? I highly doubt they will go through each image and recolor the hair to match as that would take quite a bit of work.

We do, of course, plan to to go through and have the appearance reflected in every still image. We're dedicated to this, after all. The reason we haven't done it yet is because things take time. To answer your question: the point of the change was to allow people to select Hiro's hair, eye, and skin color. Hope that clears things up. We're sorry you don't like the slight adjustments we've made to Hiro's face.

We're going to be doing more work with Hiro's animation files, including adding visible breast, belly, and cock differences, if that's alright with you, of course.

Broly: every one of your comments is like a dagger in my heart.

Already did. Had quite a bit of fun surprisingly. Aside from Naga, I think the only difficult (meaning insta-rape) encounter is Beastmaster in the second zone: couldn't remember her stat-checks and got buggered two playthroughs in a row. Thanks for the suggestion though.

We typically do more than four images a month, we just only list the top four as called-out updates. That's in addition to the idle animations for the characters, which we'll be all caught up on fairly soon. We also haven't added a character in a few months specifically to address this; though we do plan to add more at a slower pace than before. The last character added was the Dark Knight in May. We keep track of the remaining workload and plan things out accordingly.

Taking your math at face value, 30 characters times 3-4 (let's say 4) scenes is 120 illustrated scenes. If we've done half of them, that leaves 60. At a rate of 4 a month, that's a whopping... 1.25 years. Given that, as we said, our current pace is higher than 4/month, our pace will be faster when we're done with things like the idle animations and game UI, and that even if the game took a few more years to complete, our plan for finishing it would be obviously be "allow the Earth to revolve around the sun a few times more while we work on it", I think we're fine without absolutely massive cuts to the content quality/quantity. Honestly, in light of that math (which, again, we keep track of), we want to work on more detailed and expressive sex animations.

 

[Scotsman1989]

I am really hoping for more domme content from the brothel mistress, like after doing a bunch of her jobs she offers the MC a job as her personal assistant and upon accepting she uses the MC any way she likes, from a chair or footrest to worshipping her body and using them for sexual relief. It could be a decent way to save up some gold, just make sure to turn down a permanant position if offered. Also hoping for more female goblin with the possibility for willingly saying sod the fight lets have some fun scenes to a possibility of having her as a companion and finally more Urka the orc content a sexy dominant futa orc, SWEETNESS.

 

[Majalis (ToA)]

While I think this is an awesome addition to the game to allow people to customize their Hiro to their liking I do think you are jumping the gun here because like you said changing all that art that will be quite the major undertaking which brings me back to my initial point.

Why introduce these changes now since it will only reflect on the character screen and in the text cut scenes but not in any of the still images and sexual encounters? Of which these make up over 90% of the game instead of finishing things first like adding animation for the rest of the characters or adding story content?

This change would also break immersion for me instantly if I chose to play as a dark-skinned blonde only to see a pale white brunette the majority of the time? It's why for my mod I took the time to go through every single image and make sure each one matches up as best I can.

As far as Hiro goes there is just something about the new face that looks off to me. Maybe it's because I'm used to the old one and I just need some time to adjust. Once I get a chance to customize and play with her look maybe I will change my mind. Like I said I do very much like the little facial emotes. I also think the animation is much smoother now across the board as well.

I wish you continued success with the game and I look forward to the changes. As far as developers of these kinds of games no one else is your pier in terms of adding additional content in a timely fashion. I would just like to see some of the focus being given to the game side of things for change if I'm being honest. I would love to see the story mode really take off as well as additional quests made available and places to explore like caves and dungeons. Otherwise, this could have been all been done as a VN istead of an RPG but I'm glad it's not because it's the RPG aspects that drew me in the first place.

The whole game is a major undertaking. There's an obvious benefit to having the character customizable like this, and so we've decided it's worth it to do it, and people are quite pleased with it. The reality is that it's already immersion breaking not to have certain aspects of your character (for instance, the chastity cage) not reflected in the CG art, so we're going to have to have an engine in place for those things to be reflected anyway. And I reject the premise that having the character customization only reflected in certain places is pointless: it's actually ubiquitous in video games for that to be the case, where a character's armor, weaponry, race, or other customization might be reflected in some interface or other but not in-game cutscenes, or portraits, or other interfaces, etc. The more of that that's consistent, the better, of course, but it's not abnormal, and certainly not pointless, to have character customization that isn't universally applied, any more than it is to have mirrors that only reflect the player character, or only reflect the static elements of a scene.

As for the game side of things: right now I'm coding for more dynamic animation variation when it comes to things like expressions and gestures, new fonts and Cyrillic character support, new chastity cage and other cock adornments, and on the writing side I'm working on new prostitution scenes for Hiro, more Ogre scenes, alternate dialogue for various states of feminization, and when that's all done the next part of story mode. Explorable dungeons will come, but it'll have to wait. Story mode will be getting the brunt of the focus once everything that precedes it in either priority or dependency is done.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

I see no problem with those customizations being introduced, let people who like it enjoy.

 

[Jorja]

I will say it again. Old Hiro looks 100% better than new Hiro in every single way except for the hair. Sorry.

 

[ssj782]

Neither do I and I'm not arguing against choices. Choice is the very reason I started my mod in the first place for the simple reason that I couldn't make Hiro a redhead. But I also didn't release my mod until I had taken the time to update every single image to reflect that change.

All I did was state it was immersion-breaking and it will remain so until all the static images are updated to accommodate this change. That's a fact.

Any chance your mod could include the ability to change our costume without becoming a cumbucket? Because I really like the 'horse' costume, but the centaur thing kept getting me trapped over in the 2 location spot, and even asking to go back to town didn't let me.
I've seen 'bunny' and 'horse'. Haven't seen any others, yet. I was thinking about going after 'queen' next. I saw 'bitch' in the changelog, which I assume would be a werewolf based one. Is there a list of costumes?

 

[ssj782]

Can anyone tell me if there is an actualy image/scene list? Because the link on the first page is NOT one. I've followed it several times and had it not unlock a single scenes. The angel, for instance. None of the scenes listed actually give any image other than the face sitting, which I already had.

The combat is mediocre at best. Either do it right or don't bother with it at all.
I don't understand why people accept a combat system like this.

You have gay content in some of the Inn encounters. Trudy and that little elf guy are guys you can sex with. The ghost bride has an encounter where if you upset her, you get mindcontrolled and offer yourself to a bunch of bandit guys.
The protagonist is a guy crossdresser.

I will say it again. Old Hiro looks 100% better than new Hiro in every single way except for the hair. Sorry.

The main changes to Hiro's face is that it's less blurry and his mouth is a little wider, and he has a more realistic jaw-line. We also inadvertently shortened his hair while we were breaking it up to be more animated, but we'll be lengthening it again as we add in haircuts. Most of the difference in the face erased if his head is tilted as it was before, a bit higher up and looking further away, but we've added rotation to his face, and by default, he's looking a bit more centrally at the viewer.

Name one game where I get to design my character and make him or her African-American and then have him appear as Caucasian in the cut scenes and other areas of the game.

In Diablo, you can play as a woman (Rogue) or African (Wizard) and the cutscenes have you as a white male. There are doubtless other examples, but you asked for one.

Why argue this point with me when it's obviously immersion-breaking regardless of any the reasons you stated? There is a major difference between what you are currently wearing in-game and wearing a different outfit in a prerendered cut scene as opposed from changing your race from black to white. Also, most modern games now use the in-game engine during cut scenes to avoid a snafu like this in the first place as far as cosmetic things are concerned.

Because my argument is that it's not that immersion-breaking, and how immersion-breaking something is has to be taken into consideration when it comes to game-development. That's why I brought up a mirror that only reflects the player character or only reflects background objects: it's not a waste to implement it that way, if doing a full implementation (all objects are reflected) would be too costly either on development time or performance-wise. In our case, we have to develop things in phases because of the short release cycle - we waited several weeks to add in the new animation at all because we wanted to make sure it was as fully baked as possible.

Again not saying choices are a bad thing and that they should not be there but maybe it would be better to have introduced it when it was 100% ready and thus made more sense at least to me. I think too much time is being spent tweaking and redoing things that are perfectly fine for now and since as you stated time is limited I think it would be better spent advancing the game.

I get that your the developer and you are going to do whatever you and the patrons want but that doesn't change the fact people are entitled to have their own opinions of which some may differ from yours.

This is ridiculous. You want us to work on something for months without introducing any part of it to the game?

You're entitled to your opinion, but it's clear that yours is biased. It bothers you that we're changing the animation file because it means more work for you, and you're annoyed that a planned feature for the game is, to some extent, obsoleting your mod. I don't know what else we've done to put a bee in your bonnet.

"But i am a boy!" so said Hiro.

Hiro can have sex with the inkeeper.

Try using the cheat option in the menu. That way you can have direct acess to the encounter.
