Hey Spoil do you plan to totally fuck up your game code, like in your other "game" The Hard Way, to block people from making mods or editing their saves?

So... procedural generation?
Is this the no man's sky of porn?
thinking about "the hard way" its more like you get like 4 basic animations and just change the textures/skins to add "targets"
thought whats the point to go after no 30-40 when you saw all the animations at least 30 times before just with some different skintone or exchanged earshapes

*plays game, thinks, thinks more*

Um, I think you might have missed a possible connotation in the area of ship generation, dev.

Let's be generous and say a thousand generations have passed between the last official Emperor and the current MC. This is just to get the MC 'out of the way', as he's not really relevant to what I'm about to describe. Instead, this is about the Emperors and their navy ships.

From what the characters describe, the ships are basically two-part systems, the inorganic ship hull, made of nanites, and the organic girl bodies who serve as the intelligent interface for the ship. New ships are made by having sex with the girl and effectively getting her pregnant, with both parts of the new ship being made inside the 'mother' ship. As a 'safety feature' the one and only person that can get a ship girl pregnant, ever, is the Emperor (or his direct descendant). Nobody else can.

Now, it's easy to imagine this ship process started with a single shipgirl, or a handful, all built in a factory/laboratory. Then the Emperor at the time set to making more with a lot of sex. Now, Emperors live thousands of years, but they're not immortal. A new Emperor, the son of the last one, will take the mantle. And he'll need to make more ships, to keep up numbers and to incorporate new tech. Except... All the shipgirls in service are the daughters of the last Emperor. The new Emperor is literally banging his half-sisters to make a new generation of shipgirls. And that's not even touching the possibility of the old Emperor and the new shipgirls.

Keep this going for... however many Emperors have been in power.

Pretty impressive how you created a systemic recursive inbreeding cycle, and I am totally into it. Except I don't think you intended it, or plan to ever call attention to it. Of course, you can just invoke 'nanotechnology, son' to handwave away any inbreeding deformities, but still...

just played 0.04.0 and while I liked the girls, the sandbox nature of the game I did not like. While the game is early you should think about scrapping the sandbox, and do more of a Kinetic or just VN type of game. I don't think it serves much to the player to have to click on different rooms to find where the next part of the story is. Just do a cut maybe have the MC say something like "I think I will see what ??? is doing", then just cut to that girl.

Clicking on empty rooms just to find the girl you are suppose to talk to is frustrating and does not help the game.

Just my opinion, peace.

I really like it so far. a nice fresh idea with very much room to grow and expand on all fronts. please continue on.

i do not think there would be inbreeding because of the nanites modifying the dna.

Not sure why you clicked on empty rooms, the game literally has icons of which ship level and room they are in.

I for one don't mind sandbox versions myself as VN's tend to be no replay value. Altho Hardway was kind of boring for animations but I like space themed games so interested to see where this goes. I would say give the guy some clothes tho.

So got a copy of V0.04.2 and played until I think I've reached the end of the story development but...I'm not sure. That's one problem with a sandbox characteristic. It's good to always put a screen up that says you've reach the end and wait for the next development or a player can get stuck going from room to room looking for something to happen, get frustrated and give the game a bad review, all because they don't know they've finished the chapter.

so what's the clue here? I want to know so I'm ready for the next installment....which btw, will take how long? in months?
PS: also have you thought of adding music and sound? adds a lot..

What's new?
  • BJ scenes for Cammie and Morrita.
  • BJ and sex scenes for Bina.
P.S. Plz don't ping me in case of possible dead links coz it's working on moment of posting and I have no ability/intention to reupload in case of files deletion by game developer. Also I didn't tested this release so use it on own risk.
