Others Abandoned The Casting Couch [v1.11a] [Hentami]

[Vampira]

I'll come back when the teething problems are fixed.

 

[Graen]

and why would people say it might me a datacoinerminer.. Where do you base that assumption upon

Run the program, open up task manager, and look at its GPU usage.
Or just listen to your computer's fans when you run it. :frown:

 

[stronkie]

Hm interesting , did not see that

 

[Fekkoff]

Well got it running, like the idea of the game but have to agree on the writing is a bit bad.
Your supose to be a douche "tricking" girls into porn but they are like "oooh you want to touch my 18 year old body, oooh yes want to lick my tight little pussy". Its like the dialogue was taken out of a bad porn....
Just make me think of bad acting when the girls always has to be "oooh yeah touch my tight little pussy, oooh yeah finger my tight little pussy, ooooh yeah fuck my tight little pussy". My point is it would be more "interesting" if you got the info of age e.t.c in the start of "interview" and not have the girl repeated her age and her tight little pussy every sentence....

Interesting premise, but buggy as hell...
1st play - Game semi-froze up (lost the arrows/map icon in office, but phone still worked) after 2nd facetime video.
Quit and relaunched game
2nd play - Made a few bucks bouncing at the strip club, went back to office, opened computer, clicked rename company because it didn't seem like I was continuing the first playthrough, saw that it was the same, hit esc, rename dialog box was stuck on screen.
Quit and relaunched game.
Couldn't find anything to do other than work as a bouncer or at the bar. (only girl I could find was at the bar and she was too busy)

I'll check back in a few months if it's not abandoned by then.

1% CPU and 4% CPU on my I7 6700k w/ GTX970, process is taking almost 2gb of RAM though.

 

[Krzyszten]

Does anyone know who is the girl from the videos on the phone ? How to find more of her videos on the internet (not in the game). Her body is amazing

You can also earn money by working at the spa . A tip to the creator would be.. GET RID of all the places where you cannot do anything at the moment. One thing I do not like in testing games is seeing screens telling me that the feature is not there

 

[Alleykatt]

I don't know what the engine is, but it is really horrible. It starts really small on the screen and any attempt to resize results in gray bands blocking the text.

 

[xirbeus]

My apologies as I have not had a crash. If it does happen again and there is any more info you could provide as to what specifically you were doing when that happened, that would be fantastic!

Cheating. It is something I think is worthwhile adding but I believe by allowing it I would have to prevent that player from being ranked as I just found out very quickly. so I might have to think of a "cheats on no ranking" "cheats off ranking" stat idea. That will be awhile aways.


Thanks!


*fun sidenote* I was not prepared. 1082 game logins, 607 game messages.

I had it, stop on me. After the first girl comes in and leaves. One of the options is to use the computer. Which I did. I uploaded video. Then I couldn't go anywhere. I could still bring up the phone and mess with that. I could hit esc and it brings up that menu. But I could not leave the computer.

There are definite bugs, but that's something you have to expect on in-development projects... Yet, because there is no save game option outside of the auto-save at exit, it will destroy this game if the bugs continue to rear their ugly heads...

As to everything else... The whole concept and some of the game-play elements are definitely creative and unique, but the execution and many other elements feel wonky or uncreative... Such as the use of real videos that most likely are being used without permission... Or the usage of trademarked internet company logo's and their actual real names during game play, and once again most likely without any permission... I also do not like the fact that it appears to use the actual internet while running, which is something I'm very much against... There are some other things, but I talk about some of them in my actual posted review...

Also, the Incest tag should be added, as there is a scene where the protagonist watches his sister showing off her vagina to him at the library dorms (even though the author's noted it as a test animation)...

 

[Nightless]

Cant say much about content get errormsg at start and after that game just bugs around with buttons not working or game freezing at text. But it does not look that bad, just too early to play ^^

 

[Cacaolipz]

Im getting an error everytime i try to run, missing MFplat.dll or something like this ?

Mash OK till it runs.

 

[hiwebs]

its cyptocurrency malware

 

[SpykeV1]

Looks like it has potential buts it's like 90% bugs and crashes, 5% terrible spelling and 5% gameplay. Not really in the play stages yet, definitely the kinda game to try again in 6 months or so though.

 

[Badboll]

Use computer in office doesnt work just opens that horrid facetime video and then breaks the game. Also as many others have mentioned the GPU usage is very strange. Not playing this until it gets adressed by either an admin or the creator.

 

[stronkie]

just check with cports if the program opens any ports to unkown IPadresses

 

[stronkie]

Yep there is a process inside the game that makes this connection :


casting_couch.exe 8300 TCP 14985 192.168.0.100 443 https 52.85.184.60 server-52-85-184-60.fra2.r.cloudfront.net Established patreon.com/hentami 1.0.0.0 7-3-2018 00.30.18 uur A 7-3-2018 00.30.56 uur patreon.com/hentami

As soon as I block this connection the GPU events drop and the network stays quiet.

But according to whois it is an AMAZON IP adress registerd in Frankfurt Germany. The Ipadress itself doesnot show any wierd things. Could be it is only used for the online part of the game , still puzzles me why it is in the game in the first place

 

[Hentami]

The only time the game would 'access the internet' is when you look at the leaderboard or Message Board. I am very happy to share any source needed with any admins - or - I could certainly add a "do you wish to be ranked online" mode and then prevent it from using any access for those who do not wish to do so.

game is set for - 1280x windowed mode, not meant for bigger yet and absolutely would look horrible fullscreen. Apologies but while testing, this makes it easier for us.

The only current way I can reproduce any freeze or crash is if I spam slam buttons. Apologies until
investigate further... I also apologize I have never tested on anything but my PC and older machines would most likely not be up to snuff.

@xirbeus - there should be a folder marked "exit" - very bad on my part for how non intuitive that is and will update

@Zippity - fantastic points - i will add more auto save checkpoints to prevent that.

@zombie - excellent points on why can you see an area when cannot interact with it.

@Nightless - if ever get a chance to screenshot or copy the error you get, would be amazing

@SpykeV1 - Apologies as I had "WIP" and "DEMO" in the title but it was removed. So to clarify to all - "VERY WIP DEMO Wwith bugs and errors ahead don't play unless you're ok with early access"


Thanks for the feedback, apologies for the bugs (feel free to DM any screenshots to help find em!), will update OP as we squash and fix!

 

[stronkie]

If I was you , I would optimize the game first and then when it is done add the online feature..

The above "connection" to you amazon webserver was already established when being in the mainmenu.. I was not even playing the game yet.
