Thank you so much for being so helpful towards us bothersome cheapskates, from what I've seen, you seem to be a talented developer, and you laid a stable groundwork much more effectively than most products you tend to see here. Don't feel any obligation to pander to the whims of us nettlesome layabouts, and I hope you find a lot of success with your Patreon.
A bug I ran across was that if you enter the safe-house with Debra before saving the horse, you get soft-locked inside. The footstep audio is also broken when you sprint.
I'm not sure if it's an intentional design decision or not, but with killing the infected man before he turns effectively doubling the price of shop items, it doesn't seem possible to get the shotgun before the very long and resource heavy Casino mission. Without the shotgun a lot of the enemies seemed excessively hp heavy to take down, although the pistol ammo seems rather well balanced.
Really good job on the level design by the way, you have found an effective way to mix challenging ways to try and bait or navigate around zombies and some enjoyable environmental design and exploration, although the flashlight is a little pointless, it would be pretty punishing otherwise since it is finite and the game seems to favour sandbox exploration and completionism.
I recall you mentioning that there is an intended finite amount of zombies, will you be able to revisit these locales to clear out the infected you had to skip due to limited ammo later on, or does it not matter how many you kill?
With the scene between Debra and James being non-optional (other than the ability to skip viewing it), does that mean that the human hetero scenes are going to be mandatory or default? Maybe it's just because companions have predefined personalities, I'm mostly curious though. The zombies including futa all being lumped together is a little awkward for that same reason.
James mentioned that his occupation in the force has mandatory training with constructing telecommunications (and presumably other tech), I'm wondering if Tiffany has received a separate form of training in a different area of expertise, or is just not promoted/qualified for the class yet.
Best of luck with the project!

Naw Steam is a lot more lenient towards adult content now. And they don't really have real humans to filter games still. Even if the game is a censored version similar to Koikatu or Custom Maid, there are still Adult Patches you can buy/download elsewhere. When Terminal Desires reaches a more finished state it's more viable for Steam. The only issue right now is how complete it is.

I mean, just about all of the content would require a patch for a steam release. I highly doubt they would aprove the release of a game that's as blatant as mine.

By "safe-house", do you mean Jebediah's barn? Is this if you lose a fight/submit, so the horse runs away, and then you go into the barn without him? That seems likely, I will look into it, thanks.
I believe the footstep audio thing is an issue with the plugin I'm using that generates the sounds. I don't know if it works for sprinting, but I'll take a look if I get time.
It is a design decision. However, there should be just enough hidden loot stashed around all of the town areas that you should be able to purchase the shotgun no matter what decision you made. Shotgun ammo being sparse is intentional. Though do keep in mind that you can, in most cases, attempt to escape combat instead of committing if you don't want to fight every enemy.
Thanks, starting from this version, I do have someone helping me out with the mapping/level design. But I worked closely with him to capture that exact the of feel, so I'm glad a lot of people found it interesting. Well, as interesting as it can be for an RPGM game...
The flashlight was a little bit more punishing to begin with, but in the end, this is a porn game and I didn't want too many people getting frustrated/stuck on an unskippable section of the game. I will add some optional areas in the future that will require the flashlight to see properly, and will make those areas a bit trickier to navigate.
You will eventually need to completely clear the town of infected to access most of the planned, optional endgame content in Act 2.
However, it is possible that when I finally implement this sidequest, that it may require players to start from the beginning to work properly. I'm trying not to add anything that is going to break existing saves for now, but it will probably have to happen eventually...
I'm guessing you mean Terry?
There will be some scenes that just happen between other characters in the game. Most of them will have to be triggered in some way by Tiffany. In this case, the trigger was leaving Debra and Terry in the pharmacy together. But there will be ones where Tiffany has to directly start the scene before it will be played (Like the scene with Vanessa & Dr Milburn in v0.06).The other characters do have predetermined, personalities, however, the player will be able to make choices that will influence certain characters (primarily the companion girls and their "corruption level") to have those scenes. Some scenes will be locked behind corruption stats, so that they would only happen after the requirements are met. So in most cases, the scenes will be avoidable some way or another.
Yes, I plan on separating the zombies a bit more to include the futa zombies and female zombies as separate fetishes Tiffany can have an opinion on. I don't know when I will get around to this though.
Terry has more experinece and skills for sure. A lot of his tech expertise came from his past in the special forces. We'll probably touch a bit more on that at some point soon enough. How good Tiffany is at her job is left mostly up for the player to decide. I didn't want to flesh out her capabilities too much incase some people just wanted to play her as a slutty, air-headed bimbo, rather than a capable action heroine. Ofcourse, she hasn't had the same sort of specialized tech training that Terry has had, but she is on the force so she's had her fair share of training. It's just a matter of how much of it she actually remembers. And that's up to the player to decide for themselves on their playthroughs, imo.
Thanks for the words of support, and sorry for the delayed response. I will make sure to go back through this thread and try to respond to other questions in time. I know I've missed quite a few including at least one of yours from months ago.

I don't think you gotta worry bout blatancy. Steam is quite literally approving Hentai games with pretty blatant screenshots and themes. The patching stuff only applies to big corporation games like Illusion as their "highschool" setting sorta skirts the line. I'm sure your game would fit well alongside games like Holy Knight Luviria, and Apostle, no patch needed.

Ohhhh you'd be surprised.... Pretty sure steam DGAF at this point. They just want money, and to maintain their spot as #1 games download manager. Though, because the game is still Alpha (still being built, content added), dealing with the poor PR you'll get from whiney reviewers probably isn't worth it.
Top it off with having another place you have to spend pecious dev time, updating, managing, and fiddling with stuff on the steam store. It's juts not worth it right now.....Maybe once the game has reached a mostly finished, Beta state, then you can upload to steam with not many worries.... Until then, focus on completing the overall story, UI, and mechanics. Only release when you are in "Beta" and need mass player input to find bugs, and glitches.
Either way though, amazing work so far. Your game was one of my first 3Dcg RPG games, and I'm hooked on the genre and art style since.
I actually mean the clinic, you can travel all the way there with Debra, if you attempt to leave, she will prevent you, and you can't make her split up either.
Huh, I could've sworn I looted every single box shaped object available on every map, and I don't recall having enough funds to get the shotgun, although maybe I was stringent on it due to not wanting to spend all of my money on a jerk. Considering not killing the infected man results in a massive monstrous zombie, I feel it is fairly reasonable, I don't exactly think being a hulking mass of infected flesh is a particularly more dignified way to die.
Woops, I guess that's not a good sign towards my attachment to whatshisname.I'm guessing you mean Terry?
That is essentially mandatory if you rescue Debra it seems. I apprieciate the extra clarification and information.
So it's not necessarily a lack of intelligence or skill, but due to him being older and having more experience on the force, as well as allowing some flexibility for player RP.
What about a slutty, smart bimbo action heroine?

A BETA Release will be out before December 25th for $5+ patrons. Probably earlier for $10 patrons.
The full v0.08 is estimated to come out later, but within this time period and be available for $5+ patrons.
