Rogue-Like Update 09/23/2020

are we there yet?

FG13

Keep popping back to this post to see if there is any news! That has to be a good thing right? Welp. Take your time Oni, but at the same time...Hurry...

Victor Dusk

Most of us must stay at home now, please help us Oni wan Kenobi, you're our last hope ;)

Borg

@Oni Release the kraken! I mean, release the next update!

FG13

Any updates?!

Harem Hero X

Looking forward to it, keep up the great work

Cain

I'd really like to do some seasonal updates, but never seem to find the time. I want to try to commit to doing seasonal stuff over next year.

Oni

I appreciate the support, and I definitely empathize with people's frustration that it isn't out "now" too. I want to get this one out as much as anyone. :) I've got a little more work to do on this one, but it's definitely coming together.

Oni

I definitely do plan to release it in the next week or two, baring any complications. I have finished most of the primary work.

Oni

No, other than "soon," but I really have done most of the work needed. I still need to go in and do a second pass on her TJ artwork to clean up some alignment issues.

Oni

I could certainly stand to tweak the UI a bit. I don't know that I'd want to include an XP bar as a persistent UI element, it would not be that hard to do, but it's information that you really wouldn't need to see constantly, since small changes to it would have no impact. If I added more XP feedback it would likely be in some sort of sub-menu.

Oni

Looking forward to the update

Any update, Oni?

Dan96

Are we there yet?!

"Planning any fun updates for Halloween? 0:)" Hopefully 0.992 :P Love your work Oni! Just bustin balls.

Guys, guys, guys. Let's all just take a step back for a moment, I know we're all eager to find bugs and empty tissue boxes, but everybody coming here and asking the same question doesn't change the outcome. Oni said in a previous reply (in the last post) that he'd have the update out by Halloween, boys that is only 17 days away, we can do it. We gotta remember guys, our man Oni has a life outside of this, and come on, he's a man of his word and always delivers on what he says, however, he can only be that way because we give him patience. We're in the homestretch boys, now's the time for optimism, not pessimism. Sorry for the rant, but Oni does good work, so we just gotta let him work. Thanks for reading :)

Cain

Waiting for this update is like waiting for christmas as a kid.

Phillipe Farneti

I don't think it's too much to ask for a new update soon. It's been 3 weeks since his patreon has been updated and over 3 months since the last updated iteration and almost half a year since we've seen a new version of the game

Any confirmed release date yet?

Any news lad?

Jelly

cant wait

DarkIfall

Planning any fun updates for Halloween? 0:) Maybe some vampire teeth or devil horns to fill the girls’ trick or treat baggies XP

Faeble

I'm a HUGE fan of this game and I believe that it has A LOT of potential. I do have some extremely minor suggestions though. 1. Would it be possible to add a black outline around the numbers? In some rooms of the numbers become practically invisible. 2. A visible EXP bar would be nice. I know that adding something like this would take up a large majority of time, I personally enjoy the prospect of one but completely understand if you don't.

KiddKame

Thanks!

Oni

Sadly, no guarantees. I'm trying a few things, but it's a tricky one.

Oni

Glad to see your still keeping up with the game progress i wasn't able to support for the last few months as my card was declined for some reason, but good to see your still going strong from the problems you have been having keep it up.

Goose

By chance, will the save issue be fixed in this patch? Or can it not be helped? I'm sure you've gotten this question hundreds of times (yet my stupid self has somehow missed all the answers. Delightful lol). I don't follow creators too well and this would be my first time even asking such a question, looking forward to a reply.

As long as they don't drop the project I'm pretty happy.

Sean Bargy

I hope it wont take long until the next version comes out..

Buuut daaad! It is fun!

The Other, Other Beast

Couple weeks yet, at least.

Oni

c'mon guys give the man some time lol. Art takes some time and patients. But when it does come out it will look pretty dope

please soon !!!!!!! i can't wait

Breon Flowers

do u have any idea when u will be releasing the new uppdate?

Jockeman

It is how it looks on my computer

The Other, Other Beast

Weird question, but wondering if anybody/Oni could help me on this. I changed to a new computer recently and now when I play the menu buttons are all strangely small and take up a lot of vertical space as a result. For example: https://i.imgur.com/Ezrx1oL.png How can I resize the buttons to be bigger/wider?

hornguy6

Oni said "Yep, couple of weeks, or so. It's coming along pretty well so far, most of the art is done (barring tweaks as it plays out in game), and the animations for much of it are done too. " a week ago so probably just 2-3 more weeks as my guess but you can't rush art.

Michael M.

plz, i cant stand the hype, how much time until release? :c

Música

50-130%?

Oni

A little like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting?

Oni

in percentage how much have you done?

DarkIfall

What's Jeans pussy going to look like?

deedeekingfan53

out of all the characters, who is most likely to have listened to 'Funky Man' by Dee Dee King? pls respond

deedeekingfan53

This would be pretty tricky to do well. The problem is that each of the girl has different proportions, and full sets of clothing, so coming up with a way to assemble pairs of Emma/Kitty/Rogue in a way where all the bits line up would be tricky enough, but I'd also need them to work where either is on either side (since if Emma is always "left" and Kitty and Rogue are always "right" then if Kitty and Rogue get paired, how would that work?), and it would be a little lame for them to be completely symmetrical poses like a yinyang, so even if I could manage to come up with one pose per girl that could mesh with any other girl's pose in an attractive way, I'd need to do all the clothing items and such for it, so a ton of work. That said, once every girl has a doggy style and a front facing sex pose, it might be easier to arrange them on the screen in a way that looks more like they are interacting.

Oni

Here's the most recent build: https://www.patreon.com/posts/rogue-like-0-39206660

Oni

Remind me to invest into tissue paper when you release the next update.

The Other, Other Beast

Just out of curiosity are you planning on adding art for threesome scenes in the future

Madara

How's the progress coming on banging Jean?

Phillipe Farneti

where should I try the game?

Hey small criticism but i think that new pose kinda looks weird because her perspective and proportions are off with little tweak that's gonna be lovely art and pose for the game <3

That Thot Sleepy Cloud

Really excited for the multiple positions for the girls. Don't get me wrong they're fine with what they have, but variety is the spice of life.

Jacob Goodheart

July 11th....."Rogue-Like 0.991h (camera control)"

The Other, Other Beast

Can anybody tell me the latest version? Im having trouble finding it lol

AzarathNinja

We have to get to 1.0 first!

Oni

There is a hard limit on sleepovers until around day 6, I guess it is a bit arbitrary. Might change that.

Oni

Ok, this is sort of an open secret, I guess, the Girl 6 poll will be planned later this year, like maybe November December? Depends on how the next release cycle goes. So the rough near future schedule will be: "release version 0.992" then "fix most of the bugs in version 0.992," which typically takes a month or so, and would include some minor content additions along the way, then "promote and launch the Girl 6 poll", I might add some new girls to the pool, and want to make sure nobody misses it, but whoever wins, it would take a few months to actually get anything into the game for them so, "Add more stuff to existing game," version 0.993 or so would be adding new things like the second pose for various girls, and who knows, maybe other stuff, we'll see, but basically involving the existing girls. "girl 6 added" then after that version 0.994 or so is where I would plan to add whoever wins. Your suggestion of a girl radar is a good one. Really I should give this one a try. It's really more of a UI issue than anything else, I haven't made nearly as much use of the "screens" system as I should have (the thing that adds permanent UI functions like the toolbar), and might invest some time into that. The only other technical issue with a "radar" is that there is a limit on how many girls can be in a given location (two, not counting Emma as a teacher), so some mechanics will move girls away if the room reads as "full." While this is all invisible, it's not really a big deal, but if you're chasing down a girl, and it says that she's in a given room, and you go there and she has left, that might get annoying.

Oni

Like the idea of multiple positions for the girls ! Wondering about some naughty possibilities, but I think it's better to just leave you to implement what you have on your plate, rather than suggesting something else/more now.

A

Hey Oni, if you don't mind my asking why can't you sleep overnight with some girls until a certain number of days have hit. In one run I was able to fully seduce and have sex with Rogue but then wasn't able to sleep in the same bed as her because it was only like day 6 or 7. Just thought it was kinda odd.

Cain

Out of curiosity, once Jean and the front/back poses are all finished, what's the next focus going to be? Girl 6 or some game tweaks? I'm still kind of hoping for a girl-radar system to make it into one of these versions. I've never been able to stumble upon the girls together in their rooms, and it would make general gameplay easier too. I know you talked about it a while ago, but I'm guessing it involves a decent bit of programming and bugfixing to make sure it's not crashing the game and is accurate.

IWriteWithATalon

Yeah I like that idea!

Boltox

Rogue 2.0

Engineer

Hey Oni! Thanks for the great stuff :) Really looking forward to the front view of Rogue <3 <3 <3

Faeble

If she's getting more sex poses she's probably get more diologue, typically how he releases the new girls basic shit first, then more in depth options

Couple weeks

Is Jean getting more dialogue in the next update? I've noticed that she kinda loops back on herself with 'Oh, did you have something interesting to say?' a lot. Love the game so far, keep it up!

Cain

When will the next update be?

Nicolas93

I'm always considering adding new dialog, whenever the mood strikes me, but where are you wanting it? Are you talking like more "full scenes" of conversation, or more chitchat responses, or more things they say during sex, what do you feel is lacking?

Oni

Hey got a question, are you thinking of adding more dialogue in the future? Keep up the good work.

Criteren

Sorry, but I'd rather have Storm.

Thanks, very much appreciated.

Oni

Eventually, yes, but not this version.

Oni

It's my design in that I put together a unique blend, but I can't claim that it doesn't have its influences. Visually it's primarily based on the "teen Jean" from a few years back, and a little Ultimate Jean. Storywise I took a lot of inspiration from the Unxanny Rewrites parody webcomic, which had a very demented Jean.

Oni

Aw, thank you. :D

Oni

I'm aiming for "similar, but distinct." Laura's is not exactly Rogue's, but is in a similar configuration. Jean's eventual front-facing pose will likely use an existing one as a base, but have unique art to it.

Oni

I can't currently export to Android on my PC, but would like to eventually.

Oni

You should look into Subscribestar in case Patreon goes full puritan. Good work on the game! I'm really excited to see alternate sex poses for all of the ladies~

Karion Latanos

is there a mod of this already? :O

Tal Madar

Oni, just wanted to take a moment to thank you. You remain my favorite creator for making such a wonderfully done h-game and allowing us to access it for as little as $1 a month. If you weren't so busy making this game better and better every minute, I'd even commission you for some art!

Kyte Avytrius

You might want to take a look at subscribestar they dont seem to be as shitty as patreon.

Fredinator

So to clarify, Jean will also have a sex pose/position that shows off the front of her body too, right? She'll have more than just the doggy style yes?

Anonamata

Curiosity: Is your version of Jean your own design or influenced by another version from the comics?

Strategist G Bu Shi

THE G.O.A.T!

AdomZivar07

When someone asks me what art is.I always show you. health to your hands health to your hands:used to compliment any time someone has used their hands to produce something wonderful

It would be nice to be able to set somewhere to automatically pick one option or another. The endless clicking can get tiring.

hornguy6

Exciting news! I've always thought that the biggest downside of having sex with Rogue is that you can't see her boobs while you fuck.

hornguy6

Looks good, looking forward to seeing it performs in game Also, do you think you could add option where after you ejactulating during intercourse, you can skip the questions about the having the girl clean you up and what she she should do with the cum, and instead just go straight back to screwing her, or if in a threesome, go switch to screwing the second girl?

Strategist G Bu Shi

Wait so is each girl getting their own type of doggy style and front facing pose? Or will they be based off the other poses like this? So Laura's doggy style will follow Rogue's or will it be unique? Also will Jean be having a unique pose or this her one? While I know we've been talking about reusing poses from other girls, having the variety is really nice

Damien

Are you gonna make it available for Android or is it only pc and stuff cause I would like to play on my phone

Damn can't wait to see how the other poses turn out. Jean is looking good. Great job as always.

Alucard Rellik

In what way, do you think?

Oni

Emma with that big old butt facing me, eh? Almost time to spam the slap ass button 😤

Anthony Michelli

You might take a page from the mod for the additional sex poses ;)

Anigai

I figured out why it bothered me her proportions are off.

Jelly

Awesome new features, this will give less work for the modded version and they will be able to focus on other things and get it done quicker

Nightless

Jean is easily one of my favorites already. I really want Magik next but I'm not sure she'll be a popular option.

Kyte Avytrius

Bah. I try to avoid Twitter. :D

Oni

Oni, maybe because of Rogue's inability to touch anyone until the MC came along, I always pictured her being somewhat aggressive in her passions and I think a "leaning back cowgirl" position would suit her best. Perhaps with her holding hands, fingers interlocked, with the MC. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work!

J

Wow fantastic! Your artwork is as gorgeous as ever! I'm excited to see the poses for some of the other characters too, especially for Emma ;)

Martianman

Also make a Twitter. Can never go wrong with a Twitter for updates

Booty4Bass

Good job

Booty4Bass

Gonna bang the crazy out of her

Booty4Bass

Nice work, you the best!

Borger

Maybe I'll do a preview at some point. :D

Oni

Cant wait to see kitty and lauras poses now lol

Yeah, I might make some tweaks to get her body more vertically aligned. I think maybe she's leaning to the left too much. . .

Oni

Maybe. I have no interest in spreading to other systems though, Patreon's been great for me so far.

Oni

thank you so much for your great work!

FixXxer

Boosty.to is analogue of patreon crowdfounding platform or subscribestar.adult you can check it as alternative options brother .

Oni's Fan

While I'm quite happy that you're deciding to give the girls all doggy style for variations sake Jean looks quite strange to me like that. I can't pin what it is but it stands out weird.

Jelly

Luckily I don't think there's much this game has to worry about from the Patreon purges. They seem to be largely focused on satisfying the banks that want to have nothing to do with anything that could be seen as legally problematic. This game's pretty straight laced in terms of content, no questionably aged characters or non-human partners.

TCoffin

Sure i will Do, Thanks for the Update, and im happy to read about the progress so far.

Chaosdestille

Amazing, p.s. I havent been active on Patreon for a while has Oni given an eta? Been meaning to jump back into this great game :)

M. Frost

you da (i assume) man. keep up the good work.
