Ugh... I'm at work right now, but I will reupload the file from my Linux machine once I get home.

Now I have the original file on mega that you could use:

Mega

password: nel

But if the other one has the trojan, chances are this will also have it.
Could someone confirm if this is virus free? If yes, I can remove the password, enable twine's function to go back on your choices, and update the links in the thread.

Updated version to 0.0.5a.

Changelog:
- You can use Twine to go back to the previous passage.
- I removed the bad ends and the to be continued scenarios from the first part of the game and from certain points of the second part. The rest of them are later on during the game, so they should be less of a problem.

This was sort of an emergency update. Please shout if something doesn't work!

I'm also thinking about a more grindy format, where the mc has to gather money and upgrade/acquire skills in order to evade slavery. But I'm not 100% that I have the graphic content to make it work. I will open a poll for it once the previous one is concluded. But right now I think that sort of stuff would only work if I have a better images + engine.
You don't necessarily need to make it grindy, I feel like this game might be a great source of inspiration.

Yes, I know that one! It's actually one of my favorites in the genre (I hope it gets updated soon :D).

Now that I slept on it, I'm thinking I could make the ship and the planets more hub like. You could do more stuff on the ship. I.e. progressively getting more sexy time with Elena if the MC chooses to romance with her. You could also go to Alescia, get some drinks, buy food, do some work, hunt desert creatures, BUT there would be a shady kiosk at the edge of the town. Every fiber of the MC's being would scream not to go there. The player chooses the option to go there. There is a warning. The player doesn't care. There is another warning. And then the game would get to the part which began instantly with the initial version. I think if I do the same with every planet, and actually do adopt an all roads lead to rome approach, this thing actually turn out to be something pretty good in the long run :D

new update downloaded clean. solid game so far. the latex & ballet boots fetish genres are so underserved nowadays. it would be nice to be able to continue to the other planets/missions after the first one especially when the crash story arc isn't finished yet anyway.
also while the text descriptions are well done, some other images besides just the landscapes and profiles would be nice to help break it up.

I think you're off to a great start, here! Even if you leave it as-is with just branching paths and game overs, like the classic Choose Your Own Adventure books, I think you'll have something really good!

I haven't played it, but from the description and images it reminds me of TofDC. If can you go a less lesbian route than that one while keeping the same level of writing I think it could become one of the bigger games here(y).

I don't like to play first versions of games, so I'm gonna hold off for a more polished version. Until then it's on my watch list;) Good luck!

I'm finished with the first planet hub for Helcion IV. Let me know what you think!

My opinion - you clearly have a lot of ideas, but this game is no where near ready. You should go and style the UI, style the text, add more images - there are zero porn images for example. You get a bunch of skills randomly but the only time you see that is on the page where you get them.

You're clearly ambitious in what you do, but I think you should take a step back and become a bit more competent with the styling aspects. There's an HTML game on here calling Fucksome Road that is very similar in the CYOA mould, you should check it out and take some inspiration from it - it has a clean and concise UI that works.

Thank you for the recommendation! I just checked it out, and its a pretty good game :D

I published a content schedule on my Patreon that details the upcoming updates:

"Jan 28: The Zeta Sector 0.0.8 is coming out. This will feature the part where Adelyn refuses to kiss Elena, plus the two new missions that became inaccessible in the romance path due to the time skip.

Feb 11: The Zeta Sector 0.0.9 is coming out. The content of this update will be based on the vote as promised. After this update however, I will take back creative control for a bit in order to fix up the beginning portion.

Feb 25: The Zeta Sector 0.1.0 is coming out. This update will extend the path with the mysterious woman on Helcion IV. It won't carry her content all the way through, but it will be enough for those who stumble upon her on the planet, and are interested to see more.

March 10: Desert Nightmare: Alescia 0.2 is coming out (currently the content output is divided 72-25 in The Zeta Sector's favor). The content of this update will be based on the vote as promised. After this update however, I will have to put the project on ice a bit so I could focus on fixing up The Zeta Sector.

March 24: The Zeta Sector 0.1.1 is coming out. This update will replace the Zheng He bad end with a part where Adelyn and Elena get trained up by a Mistress who just happens to be onboard to deliver the captain some special services. This could also work with the part where the player chooses the wrong tactic against the Zheng He, since a shot could graze the Emerald Grace, and cause Adelyn and Elena to lose consciousness.

April 07: The Zeta Sector 0.1.2 is coming out. This update will replace the Registry bad ends on Helcion IV and Alescia. This is something I already trifled with in the CHYOA version, but now I have a better idea, where the MC could choose a specified focus and get to a new home in accordance with this specification.

April 21: The Zeta Sector 0.1.3 is coming out. This update will give you guys 3 owners for the registrys. Two of them, the old Coleton path and the Mr. Ferguson path could actually come from the CHYOA version (they just need a little polish). But I also want one where Adelyn has to pull carts, since it bodes well with the treadmills :D

Now after this, there comes the issue of the planet hubs. I already started to make a little experiment with converting Helcion IV into a hub. I will share it with you guys once its finished. But I can't guarantee a 100% that by this time all 3 hubs will be completed and fully incorporated into the game. If it doesn't happen by then, I will have to take another unpaid hiatus, at least for 1 month to finalize everything."

Currently I'm focusing on creating the parts that would, well... be the fist part of the game :D However it is a lot of work because I don't just want a bad ends; I want the player to be trained and live the life of a slave. It will take the development time very long, but I think it will be worth it on the long run. I also want to implement a system with player submission, which would gradually fill up as the player is a slave, so even if she escapes in the future and gets back to the planet hubs, there would be a permanent consequence.

This game is one of the good ones and I like where it's going. Needs more images though.

Btw, anybody knows the engine Corruption of Champions runs from? Or how to make it work? :D

If I want to move the game there/make some sort of a continuation,
I don't, but why even?
It looks worse IMO.

To me it gives more of a Lost in Laminate vibe. And that is high praise.
It only needs much more content and images IMO. I'm fine with the looks of it otherwise.

I agree.

My problem with Corruption of Champions/TiTS is the whole movement mechanic, it detracts so much from the narrative. Lost in Laminate doesn't suffer from that because the movement (around the place, map, whatever) is tied to the narrative, there ain't simply a button "go that way", that said, I am clearly biased towards interactive narratives over "gamey" narratives.

Thanks! I've started to use the Daz 3d engine to finally get the NSFW content I need. My hope is that during the next couple of months I will be able to buy enough assets to cover the entire project. After that I could buy some additional ones to make things more colorful, and The Zeta Sector could become a game that is just swimming in all kinds of lewd images!

I already figured it out :D I was curious about it since I want to make the game more open. But it looks like I will be able to do it with Twine without any problems.

Personally I think AI images give much improved aesthetics over daz 3d. As for the lewd ones, a idea is to use image 2 image AI generation from real porn images and cut out their faces (or not). It should be less time consuming too (unless you get addicted to it like all those AI "artists" out there).

Discord for Lost in Laminate swims in both AI and real latex/bdsm imagery. Likewise the Girl Life discord swims in IRL porn, but few months ago the devs (+ simple community members) started generating their own art in a newly formed thread. It's amazing how much content they generated there and how good it looks, yet most of it is just for fun and will never be used in that game.
Why I'm saying this? Well, if I were in your shoes, I'd lurk on active discords for games like these and whenever I'd see something that might fit Zeta Sector I'd contact the respective poster for it (maybe he/she/it could even create a gallery featuring the same character, if you'd even need that), so I wouldn't waste my own time on learning either AI or 3D.

Thank you for the recommendation! I'm part on the Discord for Lost in Laminate and Unstable Diffusion, and I see a lot of these images. I have to admit, sometimes there are images that would be perfect for a certain situation, but I'm worried that a large chunk of my audience will also be in those discords, so instead of thinking "Ah, here is Adelyn, living her life as Mistress Elizabeth's subject," they would think, "Ah, here is that image that got uploaded to the Lost in Laminate discord 2 weeks ago."

Now I'm aware that there is a clash between the quality of the Midjourney images and the quality of the Daz 3d images, but I think in the far future, virtually all the graphic content could be generated with Daz 3d, and frankly I think the game would be better for it. For instance, when the MC goes to Helcion IV, I could really show the streets of Helcion IV, with slaves clad in latex living their everyday lives as cats, ponies and concubines, with fresh slaves struggling against their bondage while they are being escorted home by their new owner. With images from Discords (or even AI since it can't handle more than one person), I don't think this is achievable.

I also want future titles to support femdom and transgender starts (or even solve it in this game if possible), and in that case too, I might be lucky enough to find an image of a latex cat in her cage, or about a pony running on a racetrack, that just happens to perfectly fit the situation presented in the game, but I would be unable to find the same image with the MC being trans or male, vs in Daz 3d I could just swap the model and be done with it. Also, in Nel's Misfortune, Nel is a green alien. And if the player chooses the transgender start... Well, good luck with finding an AI image of a green trans woman struggling in her straitjacket in the depths of a slave training facility :D
