v.04 release!

Whoo! After a long month of development and hassles all around, v.04 has finally come to a close. The first wave of update links has been sent out to those of you who have already had your cards charged, and I'll be checking in sporadically to make sure you won't have to wait long after your donation is processed. Keep in mind if your donation is declined, you will not receive the update until the problem is fixed - and if you wait too long, Patreon doesn't try charging your card again until next month. Now that v.04 is out, I have a small confession to make. Some people have asked me if I found a background artist to replace Dace yet, and I said no. Well, that was a lie. Orexius joined on about a week and a half ago, and goddamn, what a hard worker. All the tiles I needed were replaced just in time for the v.04 deadline. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to re-tile EVERY room (one big room can take me up to an hour and a half of work), but about half of the game has a whole new artstyle, and it looks FABULOUS. Hopefully you'll agree, because that shit's here to stay. Screenshot related. As for the changes in v.04, here's the list of goals I managed to accomplish: UPDATE V.04 -Add in Force Shot upgrade -Add sliding -Update crouching animation -New HUD -Design, animate, and prep enemies for combat (tentacles) -Add in lighting system -Improve camera -Fix the visual glitches zoom-in is causing -More sex animations (tentacles, slime duo) -Create more content (areas), begin re-tiling areas There were some other minor changes as well, but nothing worth writing down. In addition to that, here's a list of the currently planned features of v.05: UPDATE v.05 GOALS -Add in melee attack [] -Add in a non-knockdown "taking damage" animation [] -Design, animate, and prep enemies for combat (Warped Soldier) [] -More sex animations (Warped Soldier) [] -Begin designing first boss [] -Re-code collision engine [] -Implement customizable controls [] -Finish HUD [] -Create more content (areas), finish re-tiling areas, introduce new environment Anyway.. fuck. Last few days were stressful, but it feels gooood to be done. Thanks so much for all the kind words and support, everybody, and here's to another month of progress! -A42

v.04 release!

Yeah, I really don't know how that happened. It's an incredibly strange glitch. One of my friends discovered it around the same time you did. I changed the layout of that area ever so slightly so it's no longer possible, thanks. And I'm glad you're liking the progress :)

I don't have a single complaint. The game is progressing very well and as per usual keep up the good work. I did how ever manage to get Alicia stuck in a wall.. The area where you first need to use the slide moving towards the right (opposite the run bag of play full tools) if you keep crouching and moving into the wall; you will eventually get stuck.

Yeah. The main problem for me though was that, every time someone pirated it, I got an email stating "blablabla pledged $10 to you!" Seeing that email was always exciting, but then I would come here and see that the number had gone back down already. If people want to pirate it behind the scenes, where I can't see it, I'm not going to really do anything about it. I obviously won't support it, but whatever.

You have to find the gun before you can shoot - you can see it while you're walking to the cave. If you can't figure out how to get to it, look at the controls when the game starts up.

I can't even shoot. I get to the first blue door without the black rectangle blocking it but i can't shoot.

I can share that feeling with your artist, I often have that feeling in regards to my own writing. As for dialogue, that could be something easily solved by three methods- 1-It only occurs for certain scenes (say boss fights, or if the character losses all health to them 2-Have it be tied to libido/corruption levels. 3-Have it be an option that can be turned on or off. I look forward to learning more of the game storyline.

Thanks, Cain! My artist was very glad to hear that people like his work. I keep telling him the art looks great, but he still wanted to hear it from other people first :P This is definitely the update I'm most proud of. The lighting system and new background art really take the presentation to a whole new level of awesome. The Force Shot is one of the reasons I wasn't worried about the slimes being hard to hit, lol. I might slightly lower the Force Shot damage so it can't one-shot slimes, but that's still something I'm deciding on. At first, I thought the duo slime animation was going to be underwhelming, since it didn't change much from the solo slime scene, but I agree with you. It's surprisingly hot, lol. Sorry the controls aren't to your liking. Customizable controls will be in the next update though, so you'll be more than welcome to change them then if you want to! I'm still unsure about dialogue or thoughts during the scene. I kind of like the ambiguity of it; the player can imagine she's loving the alien dick, or that she hates it, or that she pretends to hate it while secretly getting off on it.. etc. If I add dialogue or thoughts during them, then there's no room for that thought anymore. On the topic of libido and gas - that's actually the entire purpose of the libido meter, and it ties in closely to the plot, too. It's not a gas per se, but you're not far off from something I was planning with your idea. Thanks for the thought, though! Anyway, that's enough rambling from me. I'm glad you enjoyed the update!

Technically speaking, it still won't stop it. But at least those pirating in the future will have contributed some cash towards things, and if they desire to continue pirating it out to others, they'll need to keep paying ;)

Firstly, I have to complement your new artist. He is phenomenal, and the tiles look vastly improved. Seeing the difference (especially when combined with the lighting) is just extraordinary. Also makes me wish there was more I could do to help besides give you money :( Firstly, I like the force shot, its very useful against the slimes, and I must state ahead of time that I LOVE the duo slime animation. It looks like she's really enjoying the one pushing into her mouth xD I will say that I had some trouble acclimating to the controls, I'm far more used to using the arrow keys and a zxc key system of things, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I still think things would be more interesting with dialogue during the sex scenes, or inner thoughts at least. These could end up being tied to libido and thus have an effect on what she thinks about. As an idea for an obstacle, if this hasn't already occurred to you, is some sort of trap that spews out a gas raising her libido. Maybe you could make some sort of mushroom that sits in the background, and running by it makes it shake lust spores all over you. Anyways, loved this update, and I am most definitively looking forward to more.

Yep, you are missing something, there's quite a lot more to the demo than that. In the room with the slimes, look closely at the ground; it's a simple little trick I use as a developer to make sure the player can't progress until they know that paying close attention to the environment can lead to secrets! It's essentially a natural tutorial - and there are quite a few already in the game right now, actually.

I can't ever get past the room where the slimes are first encountered. Does the game stop there? I see the ledge near the entrance, but I can't jump up to it. Am I missing something?

Not necessarily 3 days, you just have to wait until the donation is marked as 'processed' on my end. Judging at the rate things are going through, it should hopefully be done by tomorrow morning! Still, I'm sorry I have to make any of you wait at all. It sucks that the piracy ended up being a 'few guys ruin it for everyone' situation. This is about all I can do to stop it from happening.

Anon42

:( I have to wait 3 days?

Oooooo Ok. Coolio

Once your pledge goes through, I'll send you a private message with the download link and password. I have to wait until the donations are finished so that people can't get the download and then leave before their donation goes through.

Anon42

So how do i download the update now if i am a 5 dollar pledge member? I dont see a link for it like 0.3.
