good luck to you dev, new here and to your work, i wish i was able to try it out and give a review but unfortunately non of the tags stated here interest me, and most of the AVNs i buy it's just to support the industry and its devs anyway, but the guys here seems to like it from 4.5 stars rating so i'm sure you'll get your feedback

Edit: the discord invite link on steam is invalid, so hopefully the dev will look into that and link the one from here because it's working

Based on their business model I assume it is the same content broken up into 32 separate 'chapters,' all of which must be DL-ed and paid for separately. :LOL:
Where did that come from? We've done over 20 games and gave them all away for free. We've never broken a game up into pieces to make you pay separately, because we've never made you pay anything for any of our games. It's even rare that we do games in pieces at all. The majority of them have been single complete releases.

Slaylife It's the same content as before. Probably not particularly interesting to people here. Though, if anyone wants to support us and doesn't want to go through Patreon, buying this on Steam is a way to do it.

yea steam notified about thiS.
That was actually something else. I screwed up the font used in menu choices in Russian and Arabic, and a Russian player pointed it out to us. I fixed it and we released an update.

Nothing to do with you or this game, just making a joke about what seems to happen when games get posted on Steam. Apologies that my post read as directed at you. I will delete the post immediately, since it was never intended that way at all but was apparently written so poorly that it gave that impression. :cry:

Puzzle Date released to the public

Puzzle Date is a side project that I wrote while Mortze was working on SWM. It is quite different than our other games. Although it has multiple sex scenes and some semblance of a story, including a Male path and a Lesbian one, it's really a Match3 game where the Match3 parts are a metaphor for what is going on in the date. Go in with eyes open.

If this isn't your thing, don't worry. Our next game will be a more traditional (for us) one.

PC/Linux:



Mac



I hope you enjoy it!

Definitely didn't expect anything this fast after the last one.

And Mortze doing AI animations? I think I might've reacted to that negatively if I had known it beforehand but I actually really liked them! The lower amount of animations might've been one of the few negatives in your games in my mind but I've always understood it, hard to do lots of them as a solo renderer. And the quality of Mortze's sex scenes have always more than made up for fewer animations. I also felt these where better than your average AI animations on this site. Seemed you made sure that, for example, the facial features of people don't morph chaotically and stay true to the still images. So I for one would surprisingly be glad if this continues in your games. And of course, thanks for yet another good game and your gloriously varied, realistic (if unrealistically on the bigger side... *brrrrrrrrrrrrr*) breasts and bushes!

Not sure if I'm a secret match-3 genius or lucky bastard, but the puzzles solved themselves when I just bought gems into hearts. Still, probably better if I don't hope for harder puzzles for a possible sequel. I'm definitely leaning on being a lucky bastard.

By the way, Avaron1974, two of the best lines in Puzzle Date are an homage to you. :)

Ooooh, haven't had chance to play it yet now I have to.

I would have got round to it earlier but the nasty devs of No Mans Sky let us build huge ships and I kinda lost quite a few hours trying to make a space boat.

They are very inconsiderate of my time :p

Edit - I would give a kidney for more Amiya.

Are both of those games on this site? I tried looking for them, but didn't show anything on the search pages. If you are not using their real names, could someone please DM me the real names? I'd like to see if I like them. Thanks!

Puzzle Date is further up this page.

No Mans Sky isn't an adult game, it's a space sim it's on Steam.

Before you buy No Mans Sky be sure to check the system requirements.

That one is a proper 3D-game game for which your PC should have a discreed graphics card. It's nothing like the Renpy or RPGM VNs most smut games are.
This.

It's also had a major graphical overhaul recently so can be a nightmare for lower end systems.

It's not the most hardware intensive game but it does need a semi decent system.

However if anyone ever wanted to get into space sims like Elite Dangerous, the X series, Star Citizen etc... No Mans Sky is a great entry point. Pretty easy to pick up and play without having to learn a ton of systems and the galaxy is absolutely massive.

But you did name your space boat "Boaty McBoatface" right?

I thought you'd like her. :)

Hi Tlaero thank you for creating Puzzle Date, love it! (But I enjoy all your work, so no surprises there :LOL:)

I have a few minor suggestions that you may want to take into consideration:
  • I noticed that the Rollback feature in this game is behaving weirdly. Sometimes it doesn't work at all, and sometimes it works where it is supposed to be blocked. For example, at one point I was able to rollback after I solved a puzzle. I checked the script, and I think you are trying to block rollback in a wrong way: you shouldn't change variable config.rollback_enabled because that's a global setting. Rather call $renpy.block_rollback() whenever needed.
  • In the Match3 puzzles, there is not enough difference between the blue and purple color, which causes confusion. Maybe make the purple a tiny bit more red and/or the blue a bit darker?
  • Although it was relatively clear to me that the animations are AI generated, I think they were well done, or at least much better than most AI generated stuff I came across :) I wouldn't mind seeing them in future games. However, I can imagine that some people dislike them, so maybe you could add a switch in the game options to enable or disable these animations? If disabled, you could show a static image instead.
