Interesting marketing strategy you have there, calling yourself a newbie developer and all that multiple times only to hit us with a really lovingly crafted game.
Thanks for playing the game! I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed playing it! The fact that you question whether I am truly a newbie dev is extremely flattering because believe it or not, I am new when it comes to game dev lol! What I am not new at, however, is writing stories and animating. I'm doing my fair bit with both of those in my dayjob lol.
If I had to think of a nitpick it would be that some of the first few animations look a bit stiff, but that's offset by the fact how many animations you use, even to just accentuate a scene, and that some of the other animations (especially during the sex scene with Jax) are really good.
Yes, I am very aware that the first animation was stiff. Like I said in the dev note, I'm learning things as I go along, and the first animation was my very first encounter with Koikatsu's animation tools. Therefore the first animation is
"stiff" compared to the later animations I've done so far. During the development of v0.02(Chapter 2), I've learned quite a few tricks to make the animation much more
fluid and
natural-looking, and more importantly I've also learned how to control facial expressions! I will revamp older animations in the future but in the meantime please endure the 'stiffness'
. Kindly expect to see better animations in the future!
I can't tell if this game is meant to be a slow burn, in which case it's really out of place, or if you just want to get a lot of exposition out of the way first and used it to tie players over until the first actual sex scene.
I am aiming for the game to have a fair bit of sexy scenes but I want the story and world-building to be laid out first and foremost. There are a lot of
mysteries and
uncertainties surrounding the MC and the new world he's in so I want to build the foundations of the world first for the players to have an understanding of the world I am building. Chapter 1 was the introduction to MC; Chapter 2 is the introduction to the World(The heroines and the antagonists); and Chapter 3 will focus on building relationships. I want to lay down a strong foundation first or at the very least the bare minimum structure, for the world before going ham on the sexy scenes.
I do have one last question, how did you make the locations? I recognized only a handful from other games. Are the ones you use from another creator game made by illusion other than koikatsu? Some of the stuff like the store names and that cougar warning streetsign looks custom made too, so I'm curious.
A lot of it is publicly available assets that I edited. For example, the location of Jax's cafe bar is a map created by DarkSoldier27 called
'Small City' and is used by a lot of Koikatsu-based games here. I've edited it quite a bit to fit the story and aesthetics. The same applies to other maps/scenes that you've seen. As for the store names and the cougar warning, they're custom-made. I created it in Photoshop, converted it into PNG, and used the "image" asset in Koikatsu Studio to be placed in the areas I wanted it to be in.
Okay, seriously, last question. Are you already having correspondence with a marvel rep? When can we expect The Bean Flicker and The Mighty Fister to make an appearance in the MCU?
I'm afraid I signed an NDA regarding The Bean Flicker and The Mighty Fister. I plead the fifth, your honor.
oh right, I did get two exceptions near the very end. They're both regarding the same error on the same function call, so I only copied the first.
I'll fix that right away. Fixed. Links in the OP is updated. Thanks for the bug report!
