Just a piece of constructive criticism, but it currently seems like the way food works for the hives is that your brood cows add food up to a max of 100, and then your tentacles eat the food, which leads to an issue of if you make any more than 100 food, it gets wasted, and the moment your tentacles require 100 food per day, they will all automatically die.

I'm assuming this is written something like this each day:
Food = Food + BroodCow1FoodGenerated + Brood Cow2FoodGenerated +...; (you get the point)
Food = Food - TentacleFoodEaten;
if (Food<=0, kill tentacles,);

Obviously I have no clue how it's actually written and just guessing, but if it is something like this, I'd recommend changing it to something more like

FoodPerDay = BroodCow1FoodGen + BroodCow2FoodGen (etc once again) - TentacleFoodEaten;
Food = Food + FoodPerDay;
if (Food<=0, kill tentacles,);


This way, you can say, make 200 food per day and eat 150 food per day, resulting in only generating 50 extra food, and still having the max food storage of 100

No it's isn't. But I'm currently accepting feedback if people can accept it or not. Seeing your question makes me realize that I should make it optional.
Very much yes, those two things should be optional. The NTR fetish, alone, will cause many players to not play a game that forces you to engage in it. And many people have serious issues with abortion due to their religious beliefs, which should be respected.

Reading this makes me realize that most people are mentally weak and always put themselves in the place of the victim, and not in the place of the abuser. The amount of monthly downloads that I am monitoring proves my point. It's really a shame that people miss so much content with a mentality like that. Thank you for constructive criticism, by the way.

And about abortion. Do you really believe people right here are religious? Most people play and nut on incest games. Is that approved by the God? Like I said before, people are afraid of 'bad' things like NTR and that also applies to abortion.

Thank you for your criticism. I will fix this algorithm in the 0.2.2 release.

so dont play the fucking game.

"everything should be a bland reproduction of every other thing!" the most asinine takes on dev's choices on this site never cease to amaze me.

The people that dislike NTR aren't "afraid" of it. They dislike it for the same reason that some folk dislike so-called watersports, or scat content, BDSM, BBC, gay content, et cetera: it's a turn-off for them. If a fetish isn't central/important to your game and the story you're telling then players should be able to opt out of the parts they dislike and enjoy the rest of the game. By allowing opt-outs, you'll get less grief (whining) from players (and you can safely ignore unreasonable complaints from anyone who bitches about content they're not being forced to consume ... trust me, even with opt-outs there are trolls that will always make trouble just because you had the temerity to create something different than what they want).

As for porn game players being religious, I think you might be surprised at how many are. It was kind of a shock to me (as I'm not religious myself) when I assumed, as you seem to, that being religious and consuming porn are mutually exclusive things. They aren't. Oh, and while many games here on F95 do contain incest, it's not a majority of games so a statement that "most people (on F95) play incest games" is false. "Most" and "many" are not synonyms.

Wow, dude chill. His opinion does not offend me. I just want to create an interesting product in the adult games market. If he doesn't like it, then it is his choice. I admire you for defending people like me, but let's just be kind to each other and respect opinions.

I respect your opinion. But since the NTR scene is crucial, I cannot opt it out.

Two things:

1) Once I build the Alchemy lab, I can still encounter the elf in the forest - I assume this is because that's the end of content for now (unless you can do more than make small mana potions), but I'm letting you know anyway just in case I'm wrong about that.

2) The way food appears to work is that first you get food from harvest, then it's consumed - I believe (because I haven't tested yet) that once you have 100 tentacles any extra will just die, no matter how much food you can produce per day, because you can only have 100 food at once. Is this an intentional method of population control? Because if so I expect that there will be more jobs in the future, because you can get to a point where birthing more tentacles is pointless and you can handily produce more than 100 food a day with plenty of girls left over.
(EDIT: Already addressed above, I just didn't read)

A third thing:

I really like this game so far - once it has more meat to it it might be one of my favourites!

When you capture the first female, you need to return to the hive, and there will be scene opening new game feature. In the 'Tentacle Hive' passage, you can see the 'Slave list' link.
yet that is my recurring problem because when i head back into the hive it does not show the 'slave list' link anywhere

Sorry for the long reply (Notifications didn't work out)

Could you please send me your save file? Save it on disk and send it here. Because at my side everything is fine. I replicated condition on version 0.2.1-r2 like yours and the slave list entry actually present.
