Release v0.1.0 - Prologue
Added 2023-12-03 21:06:25 +0000 UTCThe first release is finally here!
It's a little rough around the edges, but hopefully I'll look to smooth those out over time.
A few things I feel should mention:
- I've locked the resolution to 1280x800 (16:10) for now, since I still need to test the occlusion at higher resolutions. I'll provide an option for selecting supported resolutions in a later build.
- the functionality for highlighting previously read text isn't accurate, since I still need to re-id all the dialogue. It's turned off by default, so it's best to just ignore it for now.
- the occlusion is a little temperamental, and so there may be the odd vanishing chair or bin here or there, however it shouldn't really be too noticeable.
- the audio still needs correctly mixing, and so it may be a good idea to turn the master, BGM, SFX and AMB volumes down in the settings to about 50%.
Regarding gameplay, once you've completed the first 6 events, you can find the final prologue event in the central courtyard. I'll be looking to add more NPC's to the prologue, but ultimately many of the empty rooms in the school are intended to be used by any new characters in the future.

FYI I'm about 90% done with the next release - it's been a very hectic end of the year, so it's going to be another day or two before I can get the release out.

2024-01-01 12:38:51 +0000 UTCThanks for the feedback. It's not a glitch, the club room is effectively the character selection area - if you save your game in there you'll be able to load and select character routes as I introduce them, without having to replay the prologue. I'm working as fast as I can to get the first character scene released. Fast travel is something I'm considering - I just need to build a mechanic that ensures the player doesn't accidently travel past any event triggers. It's not really difficult to implement, but I'm up to my eyeballs in unrelated work at the moment. It will end up in the game eventually though :)

2024-01-01 12:34:04 +0000 UTCI'm assuming the build ends in the research club as I can't select an option for any character nor can I leave as it keeps saying I need to get the assignment. Is this a glitch or the end of the demo? Aside from that I'd say this show a lot of promise, I'd recommend a fast travel option to get around the school though.

2024-01-01 03:17:08 +0000 UTCJust got to try out this version of the game, and I must say it looks very interesting. The artstyle in particular is looking quite good, although it's a shame the rendering resolution is fixed to be so low for now. Now for some criticism: navigating the school is currently both too slow and difficult. It's too easy to get lost in all those white arrows. I hope you'll be able to improve it in the future versions.

2023-12-27 08:52:15 +0000 UTCThis sounds like a plan :D i would gladly pay 5-10 bucks no questions asked, especially with that quality and content that now comes

2023-12-04 12:52:39 +0000 UTCThanks, feedback is always appreciated :) I'm just as excited to be able to finally start adding in hypnosis and sex scenes ^_^ I was thinking of starting off with 2 scenes a month, and then increasing it once I've improved my workflow. I'll have to start looking at adding more pricing tiers at some point too, but that won't be for at least another month or two. I'll also be posting a poll in the next week or so regarding which character route to begin with :P

2023-12-04 12:40:56 +0000 UTCI did not expect to find so many full-fledged animations, i was really surprised :o I cant wait to play actual hypnosis and sex scenes. If i may ask, in what intervalls do you intend to release new versions/content? This might become one of the best (if not the best) erotic hypnosis games there are :o And is feedback allowed? :)

2023-12-04 01:14:08 +0000 UTCit's intended, it's where the prologue ends ready for the character-specific routes I'll be adding over time. It's designed so that if you save your game there, as I add updates to the game, you'll be able to load and select characters without having to redo the prologue.

2023-12-04 01:11:19 +0000 UTCis the choice in the club room is still being worked out? just to confirm because i cant choose anything other than cancel. i also cant leave the room atm so was that intended?
