Rogue-Like Update 05/08/2021 (I really need to remember to talk)

Oh thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. I think I think this one is turning out pretty well. I'll probably put out a version d soon with a few other fixes and then shift fully into 0.996.

Oni

I have to say that the current version is really one of the most stable ones i've played so far (at least for a version c). It deals with pretty much all of the issues of the last 3 updates and even added the "staying-over-after-addiction-scene" option that i asked about just after the release of 0.995a. I couldn't really be happier with the progress this game is making and i'll definitely continue supporting you. You're amazing Oni

Jared Draken Condor

My approach is to work Obedience as much as possible, plenty of actions that grant that in isolation; with that established, the rest tends to fall into place ;)

Shremedy

Soooooon.

Oni

Hi! Thanks!

Oni

hey oni when is the next update

Snow201134

Just joined your patreon!

take your time, we dont want a cyberpunk on our hands lol

Eris3867

Sorry, I meant more "event" type things. Where you can make choices during them that have greater influence one way or another as well.

hornguy6

Well, I mean you can study together, or if you all go to the pool you can do various swimming stuff. These activities should boost their compatibility.

Oni

Interesting. I'll try and figure out what's going on with 'Ro's, clothing. She's a bit of an unusual case, since she will be ok with clothing options in slightly different cases than the other girls, so it means I had to make a lot fo exceptions for her, and they might be coming into conflict with each other.

Oni

I feel that the game could benefit from a generic "let's hang out" option. It would be like a date but without romance and the option to invite multiple girls without them getting mad at you. Like a cross between going on a date and swimming at the pool.

hornguy6

Yeah, the main thing for me is just the contradictory dialogue. What they're saying makes it sound like they're going to be okay with it, but they aren't. If you have high stats and good relationship, it progresses as normal without them changing expressions. But if you don't have that max relationship stats, you get stuff like Ororo saying, "I did enjoy it last time. We could be more direct about it. . ." all while having a scowl on her face. Mentioning Ororo reminds me, there seems to be some kind of logic loop with her clothing. Sometimes she comes into a room and says she needs to change and then I'll have to click through it 4 times just to get it to the next dialogue.

hornguy6

It only shows up after a large number of in-game "days" have taken place, but basically it's a bit of a back-up option for people having a hard time getting anywhere. It gives a temporary but fairly massive stat boost to one of the three stats.

Oni

Yeah, there should be more options there. I believe that any time girls do any classes or danger room or studying or anything together it can raise their friendship level, and any time one or both girls are half-naked for whatever reason it can help, but it might be nice to have more ways to specifically work at that more effectively.

Oni

I'll look into that. It may be due to having pressured them too much earlier in the interactions. It's likely that the issue is more with them seeming happy about it in the middle than them getting upset later.

Oni

It can temporarily increase one of your trait to help 'convince' a girl. But it's often out of stock

ThL

I’ve been wondering for a bit, but what’s the purpose of the Cologne in the shop?

zekkendo

Along similar lines, the dialogue for trading favors and getting serum is a bit disjointed. Sometimes the dialogue will be "I'd rather just get it straight off the tap" but they'll have an angry look on their face and if you suggest a blowjob, they'll agree but Love will take a serious hit and they'll get sad afterwards.

hornguy6

I think one other thing that would be good is creating ways of raising/lowering the girl-girl relationship values. So, obviously right now the best way is to get both girls comfortable enough to have a 3way with you and then get them to play with each other. But if, for example, you created "group friend activities/dates", then that could be a way that all of your relationships go up while remaining on "friendly terms." So, such an activity would be like a picnic in the Uni Square or going to the ice cream shop together (like some of the girls talk about in their dialogue).

hornguy6

Eh, I don't know if I want to shoehorn players into spending portions of their day in class if they don't want to. It is good XP, but I could maybe tie a direct stipend bonus to it.

Oni

Still loosely aiming for late May early June. I've got most of the writing and a good bit of the art done by now, but not sure how long it'll take to finish up.

Oni

Oni do you have ETA for new update?

Borg

twas merely a suggestion; Also I dunno if it's oversight or what but when you discover Rogue & Kitty sometimes the "shy" dialogue for reveal occurs. I dunno if you know about this but I thought I'd mention it.

Jelly

:Shower thought here: What if you expand the college setting a tiny bit. Not like actual grades but at least attendence participation. Finding no real reason to go to class when I can just tell the girls to come to me. You can have the girls cover for you when you have them at a certain obedience/love value (make it a tad bit harder for Emma and Storm) or just coierce MR.X to just ignore the requirement entirely

Julian Banks

Well, I strongly lean toward doing Emma's first, to just do them in order of release (Laura aside).

Oni

Hmmm. . . let me see. . .I might change the way that works a bit. . .

Oni

I'm not sure if I want to add ways to directly mess with their stats like that, but I do hope to bring back the Danger Room Simulation Mode at some point, which would allow you to replay milestone scenes and manually set stat combinations beforehand.

Oni

Inhibition is definitely the one that is hardest to isolate, since a lot of things that would raise inhibition would also involve her loving you or being obedient to you in some way. If I remember correctly, the highest inhibition options are cases where she refuses your commands to not do something, but it can be hard to trigger those options.

Oni

I have this issue as well with all the girls, I have them all max lvl and full stats 1000-1000-1000 and they all still pull on the towel and get mad when I enter the shower. They will do anything in public and I have Xavier allowing us to do public stuff as well.

mugatu

Hey Oni, I had a suggestion if you're fine with it why not poll Emma and jeans alt poses too so we get the choice, you just do the art to make it quicker

Jelly

Two things: one, the 🔗obed figure might need to be a little higher, like in the 725-750 range maybe? Also, what are her and your levels? The best way to acclimate her to public activity is...to keep trying public activity. Although I do agree that the thresholds to seem to be a little high.

Shremedy

Just a general bug report about something: I don't think that the thing where girls aren't bothered when you walk in on them in the shower is working properly. I walked in on Rogue after we started dating with 936-660-821 and she still pulls on a towel and asks me to knock. I'm not really sure how this works but the code logic is: if not ApprovalCheck(Girl, (D20 *70)) and Girl.SeenCheck() >= 3:

hornguy6

If anything, I think it needs ways of better focusing on one specific stat without raising others to get different reactions. Like raising Inhibition without raising Obedience or Love.

hornguy6

Can you add a way we can freely manipulate the girls stats? The game is really fun and good normally but I'd like to see how MIN MAXing the girls stats affects their reactions. Naturally I would do this on a different save from my vanilla run.

If you do the scene where she asks if you want to be called "sir," it might set that to be the name she calls you automatically. I have been trying to avoid that on more recent builds, but it may be in there. If so, however, you should still be able to talk to the girl later, select "Change her" and then "Your Petname" to change it, and that _should_ work to change it. If it doesn't, I'm not sure what would cause that. I intend to keep adding girls until people get bored with the game. :) I've done polls in the past where the community decides who's next, and plan to do another one Storm is finished. You can check previous polls and some sketches by filtering posts by "girl 5" and "girl 6." I do plan on adding more types of dates at some point, we'll see where that leads. . .

Oni

Hi. Love the game. Just a few things I would like to mention. I noticed that when certain girls call you another name than sir they never do they just continue to call you sir. I was wondering how many more girls you might add to the school because I have a few ideas if you would like to hear them. I was thinking of perhaps having more places to take the girls I though that maybe depending on where you took them on a date it would either increase their love or decrease their love a great deal. Perhaps there could be some more items you could buy for all the girls maybe special items for only that girl in particular. I hope to hear back from you in the future. Your friend James.

还不更新啊

I don't want to make it too effortless, but I might consider ways to take off some of the most annoying bits. ;)

Oni

I keep forgetting to do this. :D

Oni

Yeah, one thing I need to look into is that some poses don't include the towel, because it would basically just be hanging off them anyway, and so the towel is still considered "on" at all times, but might not be visible in certain poses. The same thing can happen with a few other clothing pieces depending on pose and "up" state, especially on Emma. Interesting glitch, yeah the timing mechanic seems to be bugged, it was intended to kick you out when it reaches zero, but I didn't get it right. :)

Oni

I think the grind level is just right. Please don't make it too easy.

Tom Taler

This might be stupid but I thought it would be cool to update the title screen/main menu

Sub_Zero

Bro I see you comment like 100's of ideas let the man work, I'm sure he appreciates the support but seriously dude

Azmak99

Could you make the game less grindy? Since you added so much new stuff to the game, finishing a turn takes a while. For example: Starting a new game and getting max lvl (for the money) took me about 1-2 hours without interacting with the girls at all. In turn, getting high enough stats for one girl to get to the good stuff takes me another 2 hours. Furthermore, all you can really do with the girls in the begining is "make out" and "give a massage". Generally I like those activities, but since each instance gives so little in terms of stats progression and takes so much clicking to get trough, I get bored. Now, all that beeing said, I think you made an astonishing interactive game with absolutely gorgeous artwork. Keep up the good work!

Oh and could you do what was previous before since girls will have multiple positions now? I preferred it in 0,992 with laura's alternating positions when you select one it uses that sprite until you swap it, it also does this for the footjobs I kinda preferred it that way. It'd allow for more control during scenes based on what you previously did & not having to contantly click to changes things.

Jelly

Hey Oni, I had an idea on how you can go about polling that's two birds with one stone; Poll for both your front & back positions - three options for either facing way to vote for like my suggestions of reverse cowgirl for her back position, similar to Kitty's upright missionary for her front (if you want to use my ideas at least) on top of that a second poll on which one should be added first front or back.

Jelly

Oof I suck at commenting haha sorry about that. Anywhoozle, do you think you could add a "Lick my asshole" option, similar to the threesome option you can select for the girls. That'd be suuuuper dope. Thanks bud

GreatWhiteSloth

I forget to communicate with people too. That aside, when's the rest of the stormy coming?

FG13

Your work has been consistent, I see no issue with your breaks in communication. Glad the earlier girls are getting more poses, that's great news.

PanzerLad

Glitch found in 993m. This "may" be a repost, aside from the accidentally deleted one, but I'm including additional details here. Zero finds Jean showering. With her stats ❤115🔗315😣948, Zero's best option is undressing and groping her. Side issue: her towel magically reappears if you turn her around. Settle in with groping her bewbs (won't allow pussy) plus ass-groping offhand, with occasional ass-slapping thrown in. Ororo wanders in while they are busy and flees in embarassment. Zero keeps going; Jean is tired, but his options are push thru to the other side or leave her unsatisfied. With one last tick left on the clock, only one more action possible, Jean's 🧨 is 97, and the glitch appears: the Keep Going button becomes unresponsive. It doesn't even score +0, it does nothing, and no time spent. Everything else (other menu options, Inventory, etc.) IS clickable (but may not be useful; trying Other Options gets the "keep your eyes on the prize" response), including Slap her Ass, which pushes her over the edge in a buzzer-beating finish. I saved the game when I discovered Keep Going wasn't working, and when I re-loaded,her Lust was still 97, but the clock had been reset back to when Zero had started groping her, giving him 3/4 of the Morning back! I of course have the save if you want it, Oni.

Shremedy

dammit accidentally deleted a long post

Shremedy

Oni generally goes based on polls. So I think once he's done or close to done with Storm he'll post up a poll for the next girl to work on and we all vote.

Jaylien

will mystique be in the game in the near future?

Download joiplay on Android! It let's you play renpy games on Android! With that you can play the latest version of the game without waiting for someone to make an apk

xevious

I am constantly looking for the latest version, download from dubious sites, watch a bunch of ads, because I need the apk version. for Android. But I am still patron because I want to support you :)

Erlocimus

Goody

Hivedragon

I think I will do a poll in the near future to decide whether to do Storm's doggy style or forward pose first. The other would come after I finish Kitty, Emma, and Jean's second ones.

Oni

If you ever teach a yodeling class, probably the hardest thing is to keep the students from just trying to yodel right off. You see, we build to that. I tend to leave those for last, so those will probably be a mid-late summer update.

Oni

I'm aiming for next month, probably. Maybe late this month, depends.

Oni

Yesterday i got my first vaccine shot. This shit is really hard to endure.

Makedar

Stay healthy bro. Its good to hear you are fine and working for us. I would like to give you some ideas on Ororo's poses in sex. First. It's would be nice to see her in doggy pose obviously of her gorgeous ass. Second. Gimlet pose also would be great for her. You can check it in sexpositions club site. #471 was number of this pose. Third. Storm on the top. Something like #434 Titanic pose from sexpositions club or maybe like classic cowgirl but turned with her back to the viewer/camera

Oni's Fan

Nice to hear from you. Stay safe and healthy. And you mention Storm's TJ and BJ poses, but what about her actual sex poses? Do you already have those complete or is the plan to address those after her TJ and BJ poses are done? Keep up the good work!

Anonamata

Maybe a little tiny approximate of when the update is out? 👀

xevious

Honestly just some bgm generic background noise would be enough imo but yeah sound would be nice but I think that'd be somethin that'd come way later on

Kiyosu

Thanks for the update, I was vaccinated 3 months ago, I'm looking forward to having more fun with kitty.

Chaosdestille

Glad to hear from you! I'm coming to this game late, but really enjoying what's there so far. I was wondering if you had any plans to add sound in at a later date? Even just generic sex sounds would add a lot to it, in my opinion! Regardless though, keep up the great work!

She is, but only HJ right now

Anthony Michelli

Kitty's butt got me all feeling things, man

Anthony Michelli

I need to learn or actually read, I thought storm was already in the game lul
