Really, "X-Trek II - A night with CRUSHER" led you to expect Seven of Nine?
Even though she isn't mentioned AND is in another series? Huh. Weird.


Anyway, this update was shockingly short. Just one single sex scene, nothing else.
In the past, I’d do updates about once every 3 to 4 months. Now I’m doing monthly. That’s probably why it feels shorter. If I waited until the episode was finished to release it’d be as big or bigger than previous episodes.

You get to hook up with a Vulcan?
I hope its not during pon farr, honestly that would be kinda rapey when you think about it.
Actually, it may be rapey on both sides for different reasons...

But as it has been established that Vulcans have emotions, they just don't display them and keep them under tight control (this was long hinted at and theorized, but Discovery made it official) a horny Vulcan female that simply wants to get some action is... kinda hot. I may be biased because of T'Pol though.

(Hypothetical conversation with said horny Vulcan female)

"I am feeling extremely sexually aroused. It is a frustrating state. I find that engaging in vigorous sexual activity relieves that state - and is more... pleasing, than meditation. And yes, that is a euphemism."
"It happens at a frequency of between 3 and 5 months, external stimuli may accelerate the occurrence. You think Vulcans only engage in sexual activity once every 7 years? We adopted logic and repression of our emotions to end war, not to drive the entire planet insane with frustration."
"Do you intend to ask foolish questions, or engage in sexual activity? If it is the former than I would prefer to return to my quarters and replicate a meditation candle of 20.3 cm by... never mind, you do not need to know that."

Xia Liu Bei : It was short, but it was a very nice scene. Lovely music choice, dialogues and everything. It really felt like it was done by a director who tries to make you feel something specific, and it was totally fitting TNG's Holodeck atmosphere. Very well done.

The only negative thing I could say, which I could say for all the updates so far, is that to me there's a bit too many pictures for the same scene. I think it would be fine with 20-30% less pictures, and you could use the additonal time to either make 30% of another scene, or maybe add an animation or 2. But I know animations take time, and if it's just for a close up loop of a dick going back & forth inside a pussy, don't bother. I was more thinking of some smooth camera movement around characters dancing, that would have been perfect in this scene. Of course I know you must have "slightly" less money than Activision to make this game, but I also know you can find mocap dancing people for free. Then there's render time and probably fixing thousands of details because mocap doesn't work well if your characters are not the right size or whatever.

And I know people will say "It's a porn game, why should we care about an animated dance scene ?" and I'd usually agree with them. But in this case I think it would add even more to the filmic style you had there. And big games like Treasure of Nadia or the new one from NLT have a few animated scenes with no sex, that are just there so that players think "Holy shit great production value !". And I think it's these kind of attention to detail that can help grow the reputation of a game.

In any case I guess you probably don't have half the money and computer gear NLT has to make his games, but I wish you to get there so that you can actually think about making some kind of shot purely for ambiance and production value. And also animated sex scenes if it's worth it and doesn't take too much time from creating normal pictures.

For now I would be happy with slightly less images in scenes, so that there's a bigger variety of scenes faster.
Just my opinion of course but I totally agree with it :D

Thanks for the great feedback, buddy. You’re right that hardware limitations are the biggest issue for me at the moment.

However, the latest episode (4.3) on Patreon does feature animation (5 to be exact), which I think could be better, but are certainly better than anything I’ve done up to this point. So check it out if you’re interested. If not, give it a little time and the next episode will eventually be available for free here. Itch.io / F95 free releases are always one episode behind Patreon releases.

Couple of things I forgot to ask:

Will I be able to tell Wesley to shut up and constantly slap down Worfs suggestions?
Real Trek fan here. I have something special planned for Wesley that you won’t wanna miss.

Worf getting shut down, that’s a actually a great suggestion. I’ll find a way to work that in the next time our Lowly Lieutenant is on the bridge.

Just found these, and I'm already a fan!

quick question for you - I saw you're planning on making a couple more of these (X-rek III, and possibly a spin-off called "away team") when you finish this one, but have you considered making one big 'ole X-trek game instead of a bunch of smaller projects?

If you do that, Worf will not be a merry man...

Hope I got my Pip pregnant. Single woman man now.
I like Pip too. I don't want to spoil anything, but all I can say is stick around. I think you'll be pleased.

Glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for playing. As for making a big project, I think a Night with Crusher is already pretty big. Certainly bigger than I intended. All the games work towards telling one large story, and basically function as episodes just as if you were watching a Star Trek series. I don't think I want to get bigger than a Night with Crusher. But you never know. The characters have more control of the story than I do.

Earlier in this forum, it was stated that there will be an X-Trek III. Was there an X-Trek I?

Yeah. The first one was X-Trek: A Night with Troi. The link should be on the first page of this thread. You can also get it on my itch.io page:

Unlike X-Trek II, the first one was a visual novel with very few choices, just so you know.

I wish there was a small branch where we could hate-bang Wesley. I absolutely loathe Wil Wheaton.
