Others Abandoned The Orc's Tale [v0.04] [tl101]

[ponk01]

hi tl101 !
i don't know for the others players but for me the dick of the orc is too much of a turn off for me to fap to this game.
i think in a porn game the look of the MC if it's a male MC is not that important but a bit nonetheless because if the MC
or/and is dick is too ugly no matter how beautiful the girls are, if the uglyness of the MC and/or is dick is too high it's
become too distracting to fap.

So I tried it and I don't like it.
The idea of an Orc MC is good, the idea of corrupting females into a harem is good but this is where the good ends.
I don't like that the game probably turns into a sandbox game, I don't like the engine it is like every other non-renpy engine not user-friendly, I don't like it that I need to hold left-shift to see the interactable parts of the screen, and I don't like the speechbubble dialogue.
And as it was already said in the thread the Orc dick looks terrible.

 

[TheCragger]

I actually like that the Orc's dick isn't just a green human dick. I honestly probably wouldn't bother if it was. Cause then imho they are just an ugly human. Now I'm not saying it has to stay as it is exactly but I do appreciate it being something unique that stands out among all the other stuff flooding f95 these days.

 

[TheCrimsonRevenger]

That is a fuckin weird dick

Yeah. That screenshot lost me. lol

Orcs protagonist ? In !

I always thought it was strange that monsters had normal human dicks. What's the point of making them monsters then? But since so many people write about it, then apparently the character customization system should be introduced in the next release. And start it with the ability to choose from two or three types of dicks.

Thank you for the detailed feedback.

I was very much guided by RenPy, and I thought I managed to make the same user-friendly interface for the most part. I thought all I had to do was add a rollback and they'd be the same. And the ability to save the game of course.

Take for example holding down the left shifft to highlight areas of interaction. You don't need to do that, but you can. I don't remember any renpy game where you could do this. Instead in renpy you have to drag your mouse all over the screen and look for highlighted areas. If the areas are small, it becomes a pixel hunt.

I experimented with different variations of how the game should react to hovering the mouse over a clickable area and settled on simply changing the shape of the mouse pointer. I thought that would be enough, but apparently it wasn't. I'll keep this in mind in the next version.

About the speechbubble dialogue... Ok, I'll make it possible to switch to classic view, it won't be hard. I don't like the classic view because it forces me to either read the text or look at the picture. But not at the same time. Speechbubble, on the other hand, doesn't distract from the picture.

What features will your engine have that others dont?

First of all, it's worth saying that you can basically make any game on any engine. The difference is how easy it will be.

The main concept of my engine is that an image is not just a static picture. It is a complex graph that consists of different pictures (and not only pictures) and transition rules between them. For example, in a script I write something like Orc goes to the "eating in the kitchen" state. And then in terms of the script he stays in this state, but the image changes - the orc moves the spoon, sometimes looks at the cell, the amount of food in the plate decreases. The rules for transition within one state may also depend on the internal state of the game, such as the characters' emotions or clothes.

Before I started making this game, I implemented a similar concept in renpy. My current implementation in pure C++ is more flexible and it was written faster than when I was making it in renpy. Even considering that I had to implement functions like displaying text on the screen, displaying an image, etc. Using any other engine would still have required implementing this concept and game development would have been slower.

ugliest dick i've seen, myself included

Atleast you can see your own dick thats something

 

[tl101]

I thought about your comments and decided before moving on to work on version 0.02 to release an alternate version with a more normal dick. Despite the fact that I will then have to redo this work to merge these versions into a option selection in version 0.02, it should not take me more than three or four days.

Spoiler: So what do you think, is this dick normal enough?

hi tl101 !
i want to clarify my comment about the MC dick you seem to have understood that i found it ugly because
it's don't look human but it's not the case i found it ugly just because it's look ugly to me that all.
i think you can continue to use your creativity it's just you need to find one people like, maybe create few
model and present them in a poll on patreon for the people to choose the one they like.

Thank you for the comment.
I, too, believe that content creators should first and foremost implement the ideas they like themselves. If you try to please the maximum number of people, the project becomes diluted and loses its identity. So I will continue to use the initial dick model. But if I can add something to the game that doesn't hurt the main idea, why don't I do it? What's the point of the patreon poll if I don't have any patrons?
I don't want to write the obvious, but the speed of development is directly proportional to the amount of support on the patreon. More support means less time for primary work and more time for adult game development. I'm going to keep developing this game anyway because I have ideas I want to pursue. But without support, the speed of development will become very slow.
And since people just look at the sample screenshot and go out, I'm not going to get support. So I decided to add a neutral option. Yes, in the future I will most likely do polls for which model to add to the game. But again, right now it makes no sense since there is no one who wants to vote.

if you're gonna let the adventurer go and have her come back on her own, maybe give the orc addictive cum? Like she gets withdrawals so she has to come back at shorter intervals every time and after a few doses, she gets completely dependent.

Whatever you do, please don't use addictive cum, that's like THE cliché for goblin/orc related games.

 

[tl101]

Whatever you do, please don't use addictive cum, that's like THE cliché for goblin/orc related games.

As I said before, there will be three options for the player to choose from:
1) She doesn't like it more and more, but the survival of the settlement is at stake, so she is willing to do anything.
2) She dislikes it at first and then starts to like it.
3) Addictive cum scenario.
The main scenario is the first. If someone likes a different scenario, he can switch to it by creating and drinking a special potion. So if you don't like the third scenario, you won't see it in the game.

I think this game can be popular if done right. You got great idea for options which make sense for this genre, do you have an idea of how many females will be in by end game?

 

[tl101]

do you have an idea of how many females will be in by end game?

In a few words - a lot.

There will be several human settlements in the game. Your goal is to occupy one of them with full access to all the females who live in it. But not instantly corrupt the head of the guards, she says "let him in," and the others say "okay. It will be a slow process of corrupting the whole settlement from within. Acting from the shadows, you have to put your corrupt females in every important position in the settlement.
There will be a female character who is the magician's assistant. Sort of like a nurse. Your goal is to discredit the magician so that she will take his place. After that, she will be under pressure to cover your little magical experiments on the inhabitants.
There will be a female knight character, loyal to her superiors. Your goal is to make them quarrel with each other, then get rid of the head of the guards so that she will take his place. After that you will have the ability to influence the movement of troops.
The same with the treasurer, after which you will have influence on the flow of money. And with the head of the League of Adventurers, after which you will be able to send young naive adventurers to the places you want.

In the future, using your influence, you need to bring the settlement to a state where they will not be able to refuse your help. Then you can come out of the shadows and occupy it.

Looks good!

 

[TheCragger]

tl101 I will cross my fingers that the body types will be of a nice variety too, some thicker, chubbier ones perhaps along with the super models and bimbos, some natural milfs etc.

As far as dick options that is a nice way to please all sides, I genuinely will look forward to more non human options. Do you plan on any bdsm, bondage, sex toys etc.?

 

[tl101]

I will cross my fingers that the body types will be of a nice variety too, some thicker, chubbier ones perhaps along with the super models and bimbos, some natural milfs etc.

I can't promise anything like that, there will primarily be fit girls. Bimbo is not my fetish. Although at least one milf will be in the game later. About the chubby ones - perhaps such a character would look good as the head of the food warehouse... I'll think about adding such a character as an option. But it certainly won't be anytime soon.

Different body types can't be done simply by customizing the character. I'm re-rendering the dick right now, and seemingly both the stick and the other stick. But no, in some renders I have to change the position of Ivy's fingers because otherwise they're hanging in the air, somewhere to turn Ivy's head. And if I change the body type of one character, it will entail a complete change in the poses of both characters. And as a consequence, the whole image has to be re-rendered. So if different body types are going to be introduced, it's only for secondary characters.

Do you plan on any bdsm, bondage, sex toys etc.?

Yes. Including both the usual sex toys and alive, like little tentacle parasites.

Hello everyone. A few words about the next update and a progress report:
I plan to release the next update at the end of November. The next update will include the following events:
1) rob a vault 1 - You and Ivy successfully get into the vault and take what you need.
2) rob a vault 2 - Ivy goes alone, fails, and needs your help to get out.
3) Deep Throat Training lvl 1-3

Spoiler: Teaser:

4) Ivy collects magical energy (by masturbating and having an orgasm) lvl 1-3. If I am severely pressed for time, this part will probably be shortened.

Right now I'm rendering scenes and writing the script for these events. Most of the technical work has already been done. A big new feature has been added to the engine that makes scripting easier, gives the ability to make the scene more varied, and should save one or two weeks of development per release.
