HTML Unholy Arts [v0.4.5c] [Deep Interactivity]

[Orphanus]

Of course, it's a trivial amount of work for a relatively important option.



I also did a thing for 1st of April on Discord.

Chili Cherry joined the project a few days prior to this, so I was really tempted to ask her to draw the avatars for the male transformations of the player character first, to release them along with the joke, but I got a bit scared that it would seem a bit too beliavable

Well...I feel as if your fear was kinda warranted, lol. If not for the fact the date is visible on my desktop the entire time I'd probably have freaked out for at least a moment, lol. Still, it also would have been kinda hilarious. Like, after the heart attack and everything...:X

By the way, since you mention it I just remembered that I wanted to ask about something, I wondered if there is a way to set up the game settings in a way that allows the other candidates to participate in lewd and stuff no matter what their sex might have transformed into (as maybe an extra setting, since it already works for the player character).
It's by no means a be-all-end-all thing but I would welcome if there was a bit more nuanced setting for the participation of male characters in lewd acts. Not gonna lie but it comes down to the other candidates certainly being the highlight of the games NPCs, to the point where I'd rather deal with general male npc participation (which reads as reloading dozens of times whenever it happens, but that's better than loosing another candidate to sex change, since they are a special case no matter their...configuration ^^)

Not sure what you mean here. NPCs cannot change gender, only their genitals (unless I coded something wrong), so the option that prevents male NPCs from participating in sex should only affect a handful of specific NPCs.

Made an announcement on Patreon last week, crossposting it here:

The development team expands! Dynamic animations coming in the medium term future

Since I don't have the same issues here as I do in Patreon, I'm posting a URL to the conceptual animation:

WOOOO!

That animation is pretty good if that is a first pass.

Add in an option for cum inflation and its a winner

Ohhh, okay, it's me misunderstanding the description of that toggle. Since it specifically says that turning it off doesn't affect the player character I assumed it would do that to the other candidates, since they aren't mentioned despite being in the same position (stuff that can happen to the player character seems to always be something that could apply to them as well under the same circumstances). My bad! Thanks for clarifications.

I can not really imagine why it would end up that way, yet I still would like to know if there will be an option to disable the animations, just in case there's a day were it feels as if imagination & visuals don't match up for immersion's sake.

Forget "for immersion's sake", animations in general can be an absolute dealbreaker for people like me. I can't read something when there's an animation going on right next to it, especially the kind of stuff people do in porn, and I've had to completely abandon multiple games because they had no way to disable the animations without breaking the game entirely (or at least the formatting). It's always important to have an option to turn them off. Preferably with a direct toggle so you can look at them when you want to but not have them always in your way.

Granted, this isn't *nearly* as bad as those live porn GIFs that get shoved into so many HTML games (and at the top of this website when my adblocker stops working, making the entire forum unusable for me), but still. It's something not enough devs keep in mind as a crucial accessibility option.

I can totally see were you are coming from, I was merely speaking from my own point of view, where I usually enjoy animations (especially when they are mostly during lewd scenes only & do not distract from reading the story), but I will say that I don't even play the type of HTML games you mention literally because of those stupid and unnecessary real life porn gifs they make use of. Absolutely horrendous. But whatever the reason I feel like we both can be perfectly happy with the fact there will be a toggle (if I understood DeepInteractivity right).
Admittedly I am first and foremost delighted to get to see all the potential player character avatars in the scenes.

how is this gonna work with the player character? are we going to customize a "doll" of sorts for animations? honestly i was expecting more of a pixel animation than a pseudo 3D.

The animations will use the respective avatar you picked at the start of the game. As the example shows they will each have a model (the example uses the 3rd one)

ive always used the custom avatar option tbh

Can't speak for the Dev & the Artist but it seems unlikely to me that there's a fathomable way to have custom animations for custom avatars, given that this is a free game & a work of love, not something that reliably would earn a living. :/

At the moment we're aiming for character-specific illustrations broken down into body parts, in order to replace, add or remove each of them as it's required to accurately depict what's going on in the game, along with two extra gray, generic illustrations to be used for unnamed NPCs and NPCs whose pictures and animations aren't ready yet. You could use the generic one, or replace it with another already existing or a played-made one. If at some point Chili Cherry is running out of things to work on, we could consider the customizable bodies.

The game is going grear so far. Aside some lacks most peoples tends to usually point out.
I feel like Luck stats need some buff or make they feel more important.

This is a very welcome & intriguing patch update. I think to preserve the moment of seeing everything for the first time I still gonna wait until the adventure has been finished before properly diving into it, but darn, you make that sooo hard! :c
I shall pray to the goddess for patience x.x

If you hadn't said anything, I probably wouldn't have checked for like a week. Thanks for that lol

...except I might have wiped out all my browser data a few days ago. Time to start over.

edit: Oh wait, was I already a week late? That's fitting.

There was an update today, so I would say no matter what you were just right on time.

tehlemon I made an unfinished release of v0.3.12 a week ago to ask patrons for feedback on the mechanics of the debate/hypnosis segment, and the full release of v0.3.12 was yesterday.

Since I'm at it, I'll leave a couple of screenshots of the new content, as a sneak peak. Keep in mind that they're spoilery though.

ROFL, The reviews on this site are hilarious, anyone who rates a game 5 stars can be safely ignored.
This rule seems to be absolute on this site.
Anyone who leaves a negative review will tell you absolutely everything important about the game due to how much they hated it.

3 star review are a mixed bag but generally good.
This site really needs mods instead of the bots it uses.

Ima try this game coz the bad review guy pretty much said this game has the usual text based formula for sex scenes and something about a rape train XD
I never seen that in text format before.

Yeah, tons of dogshit games have five-star reviews, or a 0.01 version of a game with five-star reviews that admit that there's nothing in the game but it has 'good potential'
That's not what a review is for, my dude.

This one is reasonably good though, if you're into a text-management game where you seduce all the hoes.

They are, often, I try to rate games only when they made enough progress or if there's something "shady" going on.

3 is a game that's worth playing, 4 is a really good game that I would recommend to anyone. 5 would have to be extraordinary (which this game, to me personally, is a contender for, but it's not near done so I won't rate it yet). Long story short I think you definitely should give this a try, it's really, really nice.

Don't forget that this game also comes with the option to let yourself be seduced & it's immersive enough for that to feel natural, too. Definitely a cut above most games.
