HTML The Zeta Sector [v1.6.2] [Primal356]

[ddaisy]

Did you consider doing something to reduce the game's file size? It's already above 1gb and it doesn't have any animations iirc which are way heavier than still pictures. Maybe compress the images or start releasing alternate, compressed versions? Games with seemingly more content like Silent Echo or Battle Quest are barely above 300mb. Power of Will is above 400 mb. Even the giant the Company is only 700 mb.

For future versions I was able to reduce the size of the images by converting them to .jpg. Stellar Justice 0.5 and The Zeta Sector 1.6.1 are both having a reduced size due to this.

Stellar Justice 0.6 is available on my Patreon.

The changelong is the following:
- New quest: you can assault the pirate ship.
- New quest: you can assault the alien ship.
- New encounter: you can stumble into the aliens in the escape pods.
- New weapon: the shotgun.
- Reworked combat system: Added the ability to heal and change weapons. If you change weapons during combat, this will cause a health penalty.
- More content with the infiltrators: They will provide you items in exchange for licking feet/getting cropped.
- More content with the prisoner: 4 additional images. So this path was at least a tiny bit expanded.
- Added more renders about weapons/clothes. This way when Jennifer falls on the ground or gets caught the renders will actually track what she equipped.

So is there anyone who enjoyed the new versions? I know it's getting boring that I keep asking for opinions, but nobody on my Patreon communicates with me, and I'm trying to improve on my work.

The last time I played was the alpha version that included new renders to replace the AI-generated images.

The redhead betrayed you on the ship, chaining you up . And that was the end of it.

Since then I released a new version for Stellar Justice and I also updated The Zeta Sector. And I don't know... It's just everyone says it's garbage on f95zone and nobody tells me anything anywhere else. And I keep making new stuff and people keep telling me that it's shit nonstop xD It would be so nice if I could get out of this circle.... somehow xD

 

[PickerLewd]

Yes, I was talking about The Zeta Sector, which was the longest game. I didn't know it had been updated .

It was but it's just garbage as always XD

 

[Primal356]

Anyways, I decided to close the channel for a while. This means there won't be free updates aside from some of the shorts that are free.

I shall return one day when my titles are better and they can actually receive positive criticism!

Primal became angry and left.

I told him many times that the important thing is the text he writes, and that he should enjoy the process.

Having played Lost in Laminate (a game that uses only AI-generated images and real photos, with the strong point being the text and CYOA-style options), I was expecting something similar, but Primal was focusing more and more on the visuals.

If your heroine character was enslaved, the game would end within 10 minutes and their personality would remain unchanged. It would have been nice if the protagonist had tried to resist, fight or try to escape.

Now he has added the "sissy" version, which I don't know if someone requested or if he did on a whim.

The visual enhancement is very good, except for the redhead — the AI version was too beautiful, otherworldly cute.

I never had the means to subscribe so I've only tried betas or versions that are finished in less than half an hour so I don't really know how much this game has improved, I see that he uploads a lot of images on DeviantArt and I wonder if they are from other games or what.

It's also true that he's unlucky in that his Patreon subscribers are quite autistic and nobody comments on anything, which is something I've never seen with other creators. You usually see at least five to ten comments elsewhere.

To me, Primal is halfway between a text-only novel with lots of options and a fully-fledged RenPy game. However, it's true that he always tries to improve.

Cheers !

Please don't be angry at me. I think I will continue the free releases on deviantart and itch at the least. I don't want this to be a giant screw you from my side. I know that not everyone has the means to subscribe as my life had its ups and downs in terms of finances as well. However it's been more than a year now since my first release and I'm tired. I want to focus on improving my games, making better games, and right now everything I make is just hammered. People want finished games from me already. And I'm nowhere. I have one big title and now I'm reworking it which makes things even worse. Until the rework gets bigger and more refined I have no chance anyways. 1.6.2, the newest version is the same length as Stellar Justice 0.61, and that one doesn't even get anything in terms of feedback other than being short. I will start uploading stuff on f95zone when I have something to show. Until then I will bide my time and try to improve on stuff.

It's all good, in fact I wrote the above thinking that you were no longer in F95 .

Are you working on three games?

I know Zeta Sector is the main one, but are Stellar Justice and Nel's Misfortune standalone games or spin-offs?

Yes. They are spin off games that are loosely connected to the story. When you encounter Aarla in The Zeta Sector, she is looking for Nel because she is angry that she kicked her ass. When you encounter Jennifer it is just after Stellar Justice and she is seeking revenge.

This evening I got a message from DeviantArt saying that my account was indefinitely suspended for submitting content containing "non-consensual or violent fetish themes". Which is great because through DeviantArt I got to know about a hundred people whose work also contains "non-consensual or violent fetish themes", and somehow they are just fine. I didn't receive any prior warning either, they just banned the account with a click.

Anyways, I had some issues with Patreon as well. I think will open a Subscribestar account in the coming days, and I will start sharing content there. There is a fanfiction too I started to write. I'm a bit torn about it because it was exclusively shared on DeviantArt, and now it's gone. So I'm not sure what will happen with that either.

I will start sharing updates on f95zone again. I know it's a bit comical because I literally said I won't share anything on the site just a couple days ago. But somehow I just didn't expect that my whole DeviantArt profile, where I was almost exclusively promoting my content, will be gone without as much as a heads up. It's not like that there are people there almost exclusively sharing years worth of creativity on that site or something.

Yes, they can be annoying at times.

Many people hide any compromising content behind a paywall gallery just in case .

I think I will do something like that. It's hard to see where the line is however because they literally just banned the account without any prior warning and explanation. But I guess I will keep making accounts and they will keep banning them until a balance point is reached.
