Guess who's back
It’s here! It’s finally here! Oh boy, this was a journey and a half, as you can see, I’m not dead and v0.3.0 is alive, joy, so if you just care about that and want to play it feel free to do so! However, I haven’t tested it completely, so maybe I missed something and if that is the case, I’ll work around the clock to have a fix for it, having said that, there’s quite a few things that I want to get out of my chest and explain what happened to the game, to me and what does the future hold for this project.
The journey to v0.3.0
Okay so let’s go back four months ago-ish, I can’t really remember if it’s been five or four months but anyway, right around when I was like 60% done with v0.3.0 my patreon page was canceled, I knew I was breaking ToS with some of the themes of the game, my reasoning was that I knew of games with similar themes or fetishes that are on patreon and they haven’t been shut down so I thought I could fly under the radar like them and all would be peachy, but I was dead wrong.
I don’t wanna say that it was definitely because my page was reported since I do not have any evidence to make that claim buuuuuuuuuuut I know for a fact that I made plenty of vanilla harem fans mad with the vision for my game, apparently it pissed off fans of the genre so bad that I was on their shit-list and I was labeled as a NTR developer and fuck me I guess, to their credit I suppose I am a NTR developer but I feel like that’s not really providing the full context but meh, it’s the internet and a lot of people deal in absolutes.
However, those two events killed a lot of my motivation for continuing the game, I felt like then what was the point, some vanilla fans have me as an excommunicado, and I cant really please NTR fans ‘cause according to my original plans, the content they want is still far away, on top of that, the vision I had for my game was short-sighted, mainly in regards to the combat, what I wanted to create and what I ended up creating were two different things, so I had ended up with a game that didn’t work properly half of the time, and it made few people happy that I’m very thankful that supported the game, but the perspective from me the creator is that I was seeing way more negative than positive, maybe that’s a me issue but that’s how I felt.
Because of that slump December rolled around and I honestly used that time to just focus on myself, personal life, family, stuff like that, I tried not to pay too much attention to the game, and a part of me felt like “yeah whatever, extreme vanilla fans win I guess”. It wasn’t until mid January that I felt that creative spark again, and I didn’t want to abandon the game, and my pettiness kicked in “nah fuck them, I’m going to continue to piss them off even more” so I picked up from where I left and began working on the game
When I came back, I knew that the combat I had designed had to go, I do not have the technical skill to make it work as I want to, the next iteration of combat I planned was still grid based tactics-style, but that also didn’t feel that good to play, so I took some step backs in trying to make something fancy and just focused on making something maybe basic, but fun to look at/play, but that process took quite a while, so around early February I was cooking and pretty close to finishing but I got into a car accident on my way back from work, and I injured my shoulder and back, so I couldn’t really work on the game
That leads us to right around this time frame, I started feeling better and work continued, seeing my combat come alive and be actually kinda good lifted my confidence, I knew that the decisions I made to shift my vision were the right ones and now here we are, with a brand new gameplan, more experience in regards to receiving feedback, whether it be constructive, positive, or completely negative. I feel like I can navigate with more confidence the knick-knacks of being a porn game dev
Now with 20% more Karryn’s Prison, 10% more Solgante, and 100% less fire emblem
It’s easy being inspired by games like Karryn’s Prison, the game is freaking amazing, so I looked at normal turn based combat, and having “States” dictate a lot of what’s happening in battle, and I also played Armored Suit Solgante around this dev cycle, I really liked the idea of using an image of a characters bust in comms as a way to showcase what is happening to a person, so I tried to marry those concepts with what I could create and that what’s the new combat of the game is, depending on a condition (Character having less than 40% of their HP) sets them on a vulnerable state that can be exploited by several enemies.
I could talk more about the combat but hey, the download is right there so I think it’s better if you see it in action, I just hope it works as well as it has done when I’ve tested it
Corruption is in (still super avoidable btw)
So, realizing that it’s sorta pointless to continue to appeal to vanilla fans, I understand that are normal vanilla fans that are okay with corruption or NTR as long as it’s avoidable, you guys are amazing and I wish more people were as incredible as you folks are. But for the most part, I decided to start including more NTR/Corruption elements a lot more sooner than in my original vision.
What I mean by this is that at least I’m going to add more animations for the battle-fuck mechanics, I’m thinking of groping attacks similar to those in KP where the MC gets touched in several parts of her body, more “State” animations instead of the only one that It’s just in the game, and utilizing different enemies, so far I have Content planned for goblins, the wolves, and the slimes, but I’m thinking of adding regular human enemies and female futa warriors, so if any of that strikes your fancy, just let me cook and we’ll get there.
Also, this means starting the Corruption storyline early, I originally had planned to finish the first part of all the love interests before adding NTR, the plan moving forward is to alternate content, one version will be focused on Vanilla, the next patch dev cycle then shifts towards Corruption story, or more battle-fuck, or a mix of both. The point is that both sides of the lewd coin will get content from now, so if any of you who are still reading this, first of all, thank you ‘cause this is a huge wall of text, but secondly, if this new direction doesn’t interest you, try to understand that my original plan was doomed to fall and this new direction is needed so I don’t lose my mental trying to defend myself for the 9th time or so.
You can call it as it you see it, I flip-flopped, I took advantage of vanilla fans to fund NTR, that I always wanted to make NTR and I never cared for vanilla, whatever statement you want to make about me or the direction of the game, will be fine, at the end of the day I feel like this new perspective has given me and my creative desire a new beginning and in return, hopefully this will make plenty of people happy.
Welp, that’s that, I wanted to explain some things to however may be interested in the future of the game and to explain my absence, this will be smoother from now on, I hope you enjoy this version of the game, Thank you for your attention!
