How do you think the pregnancy progression will go? Will it be "impregnation, third-trimester, suddenly baby"?
I can't tell you the exact number of stages yet. At least the first trimester (when the pregnancy is barely visible), the second trimester, the third trimester. Until I try to render it all, I won't know how many stages I can make.

About half the time it took to create and improve the engine. In second place was rendering. Image post-processing, story writing, and scripting are about evenly split.
For the story you could probably get some help from fans when you are having writer block same for spell check, for the engine and script issues I recommend reaching out to content creators here with similar style games to see if they can provide mentoring (A good example of it would be Power Vacuum creator mentor and taught the Cherish These Times creator pretty much everything he knows.), for rendering That comes down honestly to the power of pc unless you can outsource it.

About the writing, I never would have thought writing dialogue for porn would be so difficult :). The problem is compounded by the fact that I am not a native English speaker and use an online translator. It's hard for me to evaluate how natural the resulting text looks. It would help me if someone could give me examples of games or comics where blackmail and domination dialogues are written in good English.

About the engine and scriptign, I do not see that I need any help. All the ideas I have, I consistently implement. And while no one has written about bugs, I think the technical part is done well. This work took a long time because a really lot of work was done.

Regarding the rendering, theoretically it is possible to organize the workflow so that the renderer went parallel to the rest of the work. In practice, I have not yet succeeded, but work is being done in this direction. Before I started making this game, I had no experience with rendering at all, but I'm learning. There are a lot of tutorials on the internet.

I recommend starting a discord also (I didn't see one posted.) as for spell checking I already do it for goblin brides with a website I paid for call Grammarly then I proof read it to ensure it still makes sense. For the writing I know it can turn into pages upon pages of dialogue and story building. The best thing to do is create a baseline for everything for progression ahead of time (which I'm pretty sure you mentioned already doing).

Thanks for the tips. Perhaps I should start a discord, I see that it has many developers. Only I still do not quite understand, what is the point? In discord subscribers more convenient to follow the news and updates?
Grammarly looks interesting, I'll try it.

Its more coinvent to keep in contact with people who may assist in the game and also reporting bugs and errors.

Game wise i’d say
A New Dawn- has blackmail and Domination

Vae Victis - plenty of domination

A Struggle with Sin- blackmail and corruption

And best of all A Goblin’s Tale- has an interesting form of corruption and domination that inspired multiple people to create their own games after it was abandoned.

I don’t think I have ever read any complaints on the English in those games.

Considering this is a custom engine, I guess Mac support is definitely off the table here :cry:

Unfortunately, it is.
Support for other operating systems is in the plans, but I am unlikely to start doing it until spring. Support for Win x32 and Linux will be added first. MacOS support is in the plans but this may be a problem since I don't have any Mac devices to test it.
Android support is not planned at all.

Hey, this game have some really good start. I started playing since green dick update (kinda happy for that one, ugly dick was a bit too much for me) and I feel this game is moving in some nice direction. Rendering is quite damn nice, I'm surprised that you had no previous experience in it. Good job on that.

v 0.02 gave us some nice content, thumbs up!

The story is good so far. I like the approach that you're coercing the girl to push her more and more. Normally, the scenario of "orc captures a woman" would include just straigh-up rape, which isn't my cup of tea. You said you're going with that first option, the "she hates it but she needs to do it for her village", but in masturbation scene there were hints that the girl is starting to get aroused by orcs dick. Nice touch there, I really liked that.

The technical part also looks pretty damn solid. The interface and all looks god and is usefull.
I think I had a bug just once, where after reloading a save I couldn't click anything on the screen. I think it happened before the first deepthroat training scene, but i coudn't replicate the bug.

Thanks for the feedback.

The choice of one of the three options itself will most likely be added at the end of version 0.03, and the consequences of this choice will begin to appear in version 0.04. For now, the game is gradually evolving in the first "she hates it" scenario, but that doesn't stop her from getting physical pleasure from the process. She hates the situation itself and what she has to do. And she is ashamed of being aroused by orcs dick, but it is her body's reaction to her thoughts, and there is nothing she can do about that reaction.
I think I had a bug just once, where after reloading a save I couldn't click anything on the screen. I think it happened before the first deepthroat training scene, but i coudn't replicate the bug.
Bugs that are rare and hard to repeat are the nastiest. Maybe you can remember some other details? Did the menu button work? If it did, what did you do next? Did you try to load again and this time everything worked (or not?), or did you restart the game?

Menu button did work, interface too I think. It was like the interractive parts (go rob the vault, go to hall etc) stopped being clickable - pointing mouse over them didn't even show description anymore. I tried reloading the same save a couple of times, each time the same. I think for a split second after reloading the discription of "go rob the vault" appeared if I had mouse hovering over it, but dissapeared immidiately. After that I restarted the game from start, no problems then.

I should have shared that busted save with you, but I was dum dum and deleted it. Sorry.



Btw, one more thing about the game. It kinda surprised me that after mr. Orc nutted all over the girl face or her back, in the very next scene she was pristine clean again. Are you not going for the "gotta wear it like badge of honor till you have chance to clean up", or you just didnt bother to render all that jizz? xD

Yes, it's definitely a bug. I'll look into it more closely when I make the rollback system for the next release. Thank you for the information.

About jizz rendering. I plan to make a "wear it" system eventually, but so far I'm not capable of it. The rendering of images with jizz in the very first event took me an entire month. That's an unacceptably long time. The main problem is that it is very difficult to put it on the sequence of frames so that it appears in the same place. It either slides off, or gets too thin, or what's called a dforce explosion happens. This is a problem I have yet to solve.

Any chance of a progress report on here or patreon soon?
So far, the following has been done:
1) Implemented rollback system. When you scroll the mouse wheel up the game goes back, when you scroll down - goes forward.
2) Created three new female characters, which will be present in the next update.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
3) Some scenes are rendered, but it's hard for me to say how much of the rendering is ready. Less than half.
4) I'm almost done with the save/load menu. Might finish it today.

In the next update I want to add some interactivity to get away from the kinetic novel format. So it will include a minigame (and a story that leads up to that minigame). But don't be too quick to say "ugh, I don't like minigames". Because I'm going to try to make interesting minigames that you'll want to play again, not skip them.

At this point, it's hard to say how much more time I need to release the next update. I think about a month.

No worries. I’m actually just really interested in reading about the development process of this game and engine but if you prefer to stay quiet until an update is ready I understand.
