HTML The Goblin's Pet - Recollared [Ch1-2 & Bad End] [Aphrodite]

[GravGrav]

There is currently no way to export a save to disk - I will need to write a custom plugin for that. The issue is each chapter is technically a save slot, and I want to be able to just export and import them in bulk.

Seems like Read may be a bit wonky, but it's supposed to bring you back to the page you are currently reading. I have not witnessed it misfiring yet, so if you could demonstrate that in a screenshot or two I would fix that bug.

For better or worse this game basically uses a custom engine (built on top of Harlowe originally), so I can't use the standard Sugarcube features.

Part of this is because I find base Twine/Sugarcube ugly, part of it is I just wanted a coding challenge. Over the next few chapters I'll be trying to smooth out any glitches.

I have found a different issue that is possibly connected. On page, like 3, when Goblins first came up as a keyword, I clicked it to read the lore entry and then hit Back, which took me back to the page I was on. All well and good so far.

But then I clicked the Lore button, just to check and confirm that Goblins had been added to my list of lore options. It had, so I then clicked Back. This did not then take me to the page I was on, but the page prior to it in the main story.

So clearly the interaction between Lore pages and the Back button for the main story pages is acting strange.

Ok, thank you! I will try to replicate and fix that.

Awesome, thought a lot of potential had been wasted and was hoping for a remake with more scenes and routes. Also think that you could significantly decrease the amount of text. Will definitely be keeping my eye on this, thank you!

Very well done, thums up. I just subscribed for this Game and would like to ask, how the Update Cycle looks for this one? You mentioned, that the next 2 Updates are for your X Change Game. When could we expect CH4?

Honestly I kinda prefer this version over the previous one. Like, would it be too controversial to say that I prefer these AI images over Daz renders.

I will admit that the use of AI isn't half-assed unlike just about any other games made by AI these days, you can tell that there is at least effort put into it. Definitely a major cut above all the other countless AI slop ""artists""

 

[Qarturs]

Nice

l1lym Probably a long shot, but it don't hurt if I just ask:

Since you're saucing it all up and making it more of a proper game than just a story, would you... ever consider having breeding/pregnancy be something that is not strictly tied to (bad)endings? I know it's completely unrelated but...

this is my jam right here, 100%, huge all over, lactating, big dark nipples, the whole package. And if it could be part of the story or even gameplay and not just something I get to see once in an ending would make my day, and probably a lot of people's days lol. Hell, it doesn't even need to be like actual breeding gameplay. Just the opportunity of having her be in that "broodmothery" state of having massive, lactating breasts with big dark nipples in actual gameplay would make my day!

Just wanna reiterate though, I loved the original interactive novel, so it's not like I'm gonna hate you forever if you just keep that kinda stuff to endings (but at the bottom of my heart I might hate you a lil' bit hehe).

I'd say the story is already pretty different unless you just mean "guy gets turned into a girl by a goblin" then yes, that still happens, but the pacing is already on a very different level when it comes to the sex, which was kind of one of the problems the first one had. It felt like an endless procession of handjobs for half of the game and then the rest progressed very quickly.

Like i said on the thread of the original CYOA, much of this is because the writer wrote themselfes into a corner with how potent the mind altering powers of the sperm are. It only takes getting even pre into you once and you're fucking gone, which leaves just handjobs into a bucket as the "safe" alternative.

Like last time, i can only reccomend toning down the potency of that, but since here too, just merely snorting some pre immediately spells doom already, im gonna pare down my expectations on that.

 

[Essta]

Also considering how apparently goblin sperm is lethally toxic to males also (just in the die way) as seen in the post gobboree scenes, it really makes me wonder why goblins dont just throw buckets of the cum at their enemies.

 

[Essta]

without major glaring flaws helps too

uhuh

I mean its not the worst ai art i've seen but it still has all the usual trappings. But whatever, im here for the vivid writing, not the images. As far im concerned they're fairly optional.

 

[ThisIsMyThirdAccount]

Can't wait for full release and an eventual sequel, *fingers crossed*

Sequels for this kind of thing don't work very well with the existing character after they've fully submitted. The core character arc is going from a hero into a zero. Once that character arc has been carried out what remains is just pet play, there's no arc to take the character through.

You need a new protagonist to bring through a new character arc of defeat, humiliation and training. You could use the existing character as a foil who baits and betrays the new character in order to get them to fall or submit to master though.

First off I just want to express my thanks and admiration for your work! And I know these are matters of taste so what I'm about to say is not meant as judgement, just a question. But I remember the original was, well, quite cruel and dark for my tastes. At least as a submissive woman.

Will there be any changes to this? Either way, happy to hear this is getting a remake and I love the style & presentation of the new version!

It seems like its not an instant game over yet so far in ch2(although I think it sets you up for the 1st bad ending) I'm hoping a condom (like the night in the inn in the OG) gets used alot more as an excuse for Elise to fix her urges and corrupt her more progressively instead of instantly turning her into goblin slave with one exposure.

 

[human94]

Awesome. Now I understand why pause in development X-Change Life. Now game look like one pice or how to say it on english. All in one style. More content in chapters. Good rework. Interesting to see how this ended.

Im a bit of a cumslut myself and would prefer toning down the psychoactive part so Elise still can get plastered and filled with cum and not fall immediately, but i suppose a condom is a way. Or just bring in the antidote way earlier.

I'm wondering if other VN devs should take inspiration from this style rather than defaulting to Ren'Py.

I loved the original version of this game, but I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone, the art was a bit inconsistent and walls of text can generally be intimidating.

But with the remake, I think the improvements with the art have shifted the entire game to where it's perfectly fappable even while skimming. Now when I go back to a Ren'py game it feels a bit choppy to go through it a few sentences at a time, to say nothing of skipping through slow or poorly written scenes and having a mild seizure.

I think that if writing isn't a game's strong suit, breaking up the text can make it less obvious, and I know Renpy makes it easy to reuse assets a lot. Both these things are good for padding the game's length, but I don't know if any of that furthers the goal of getting people off.

I know that most HTML games don't do a lot for me, so it's probably more about Aphrodite's talent than the format, but idk, I think there are well-written Renpy games that would have worked better with their words out on display to be read rather than clicked through, and the art and sound shifted toward more quality and less quantity.

All I can say for sure is that these two chapters have made me cum more than a year's worth of many other games that I also consider good. So I'm interested in seeing more like it.

 

[lois333]

Aphrodite, do you have a planned release schedule both for paying and free versions ? What do you envision in terms or timeline ?

Because one might expect it to go fast as it is a rework, but looking at what you've done here, we can all attest it takes a lot of time to get something with this quality, even with the help of AI.

Well, Chapter 3 took me probably 3 weeks of solid work, and that was working till 2-3am almost every night haha. So I would say Chapter 4 will be 4 weeks from now, since I am doing a few X-Change scenes first.

However it's getting a bit faster now that I am getting more used to the new methods of generating images, so it could be quicker. On the flip side, i do want to make some new gameplay settings and the Exploration mode to make the game easier for people to play who don't want to use the choice-locking etc.

Anyhow I will keep you posted as things progress.

That makes me so happy! It might be creepy to say this but my goal in life is to get as many people cumming as much as possible hahahaha

Very well done, thums up. I just subscribed for this Game and would like to ask, how the Update Cycle looks for this one? You mentioned, that the next 2 Updates are for your X Change Game. When could we expect CH4?

See above, but basically what will happen is the next scene in X-Change Life will come out (will probably take me a week), and then I will start going round-robin between X-Change Life and Goblin's Pet at the same time (similar to how I released the Chapter 3 main content and X-Change sales demo on the same day).

It's very helpful for my process to work on these games at the same time because XCL is a highly technical sandbox, whereas this is pure linear, so each of them helps me when I am burned out from the other one and lets me just keep going.
