Rogue-Like 5/22/17

I could always add more outfits, although they all add a bit of complexity. I expect at least a few new pieces will be added over time. The thing to remember is that each new piece added needs to be redrawn for each pose, and most panties or pants need both a default version and a "shifted out of the way" version. I don't know about a "corrupted clothing" system, I'm not going to go that route of having their hemlines just get higher and higher over time, but I might make it so that some of the outfits they put together would have less covering to them. There's already a minor element of this, in that Rogue wears a hoodie to gym class at first, but drops it after her inhibition lowers enough.

Oni

I'm curious if you have any plans for more outfits for the girls. More lewder and sexyier outfits? One quick question, do you have plans or not for a corruption system on the girls outfits? For example if you don't have them on set outfits, they themselves start to dress more lewdly the more corrupted they are. Kind of a neat way to get more clothes.

I don't know any way to port it to iOS, but I will port the next version to Linux.

Oni

I would quite like it for my iPhone. :)

I would love it. I currently run it through wine and that works but a native package would make me really happy.

MrSVCD

I could, I suppose. Renpy can output in that. There hasn't been demand for it so I haven't bothered yet. Is that something you'd like?

Oni

Would you like to make a Linux release of Rouge-Like?

MrSVCD

Lol, ok, I'll really try to get the cuffs in their own thing this time, and if I forget on the "beta" build, remind me and it'll at least make the "final" build for that version.

Oni

Oh no, I didn't mean it as in the current build. I just meant in the future once the relationship systems are fully fleshed out. And by compete, I meant purposely macking on you or pulling your cock out for a handy (or other sexy activities) in front of each other just to be like, "He's miiiiiiine~!" Kind of a "fuck you" to the other girl by fucking you ;) Unrelated to that, do you think you'll be able to make Rogues collar and cuffs their own clothing item in the next build? I mostly ask because for some reason it reaaally annoys me that when I ask her to strip naked from her green outfit, she still wears them.

Hornguy, yes and maybe. As it stands right now, it is theoretically possible (though not exactly simple) to get both girls to max stats with you, AND minimum stats with each other. Those are tracked completely separately. The only thing making it a bit difficult currently is that these two girls start out liking each other and opportunities to reduce that are few and kind of tricky to proc (not to mention not currently tracked in the UI). You can ask them how they feel about each other in chat though. As to the second part though, they don't so much "compete" over you in the current version. At most they just act as if the other doesn't really exist when it comes to you. They might get mad if they catch you macking (and mad at the other girl), and when it comes to the relationships they might be hesitant to enter a relationship with you if their friend is dating you, but there aren't many direct jabs between them if they're unfriendly. I hope to expand that a bit as the game progresses. Relating to Nargar's comment, it might be fun if one path to getting Emma into the sack would be to make her see it as an aggressive act against Kitty, or vice versa. I'll also point out that the theoretical plan, particularly when there happen to be many characters in the game, is for the potential be that they decide they like each other more than they like you (at least for a little while), and just hook up for themselves.

Oni

Nargar, I definitely intend for these characters to start out at odds with each other.

Oni

Wait a minute. Is it still possible for both girls to be hating each other but still loving you? Does that mean it might be possible to have them actively competing over you?

hornguy6

I know we never saw Emma in Evo, so they doesn't have the same relationship, but in the comics, Kitty HATES Emma. I'd kinda like to see that in this.

I could add more areas, each girl will at least get a room. Of course each area needs art (which isn't overwhelming, but still needs doing), and then there needs to be a point to it. I mean I could just add a bunch of identical rooms pretty easily, but why? So yeah, there are a few areas I'd like to get in at some point, a pool maybe, or a lab perhaps, but I'm not planning on doing so right away. And currently, the plan is to limit it to two girls per room. Since Emma's a teacher, she might be in the room with two other girls but not become active in the scene without breaking it up. I don't currently plan for more than two girls to be active in a sex scene, just because that would get pretty crowded. It's possible, of course, and the new system could be expanded for that, but the art would never make much sense the way it's currently displayed, and it would just get complicated. Now this means that with lots of girls in the game, rotating them around the space so that only two are around at a time could get complicated, but I have some ideas for managing that. It may possible that more than two girls are technically in the room, but you're only nearby two of them, or that if you're interacting with one girl in a scene, then the other one might get swapped out under certain conditions. There's still plenty of time to work that out though.

Oni

I have two questions. Since you're adding more characters, will there be more areas? And the second one is how many characters can be in one room at a time?

Total W Island

Well, for one thing, "dating" a character gives you a decent bonus when trying to do anything with them, so it can be helpful in convincing them of things they otherwise might not do. Also, being an "ex" to a character involves a significant penalty to those actions, so ideally you don't want to be there either. I'm still balancing that system out, and working out ways to recover from "ex" status without dating again. Also, since Kitty and Rogue are friends, this may not be immediately obvious, but they are more hesitant to sneak around behind each other's backs than other characters might be. The game tracks how much each character likes the other characters, ranging from hating the other person, to being neutral, to being friends, to being attracted, to being in love, and that definitely impacts how they react to one another. Rogue and Kitty start at the friendly state, doing things that seem like a "betrayal" can reduce that (although I might want to add more options there), and doing things that are sexy around each other tends to increase their bonds a bit. And yes, there could be characters that take this even more seriously, and perhaps almost require a commitment to get anywhere, or that are very hesitant to go behind anyone's back. Once Emma is added, for example, none of the three will particularly mind if you're in a relationship with her or vice-versa. There's still plenty of room to build that out though, I'm aware that not all the elements are fully in place yet.

Oni

It will mostly be bringing the functions to Kitty, although I did add a little bit to Rogue's version in the process. Re-evaluating the old stuff while bringing it across tends to cause me to add things. Mainly it makes it so that if you cheapskate on the bill, it can have more lasting ramifications, and if you try to pull that repeatedly, she might refuse to go out with you at all for a while.

Oni

Do you know if there is going to be any particular benefit to being in a relationship with any of the characters? You currently can be with Rogue and it seems you put much work into that with the little dialogues you can have on the side. Is there anything that will make it unique, being in a relationship solely with one person over another? Willingness to engage in activities with people they like? (ex-Kitty is best friends with Rogue) Will there be characters who don't like each other and will it be more of a challenge to get them with other girls? Some sort of system that has choices that one person may like but others won't because you please one person over them?

D0ugi3

Will it "just" be Kitty's dating destinations or some additional options for Rogue too? (I'm almost certain you already spoke about this somewhere, but I don't remember - damn Patreon's primitive search functionality!)

JulienJaden

Yeah I for the most part have carried my saves over for the last several months. Maxed out on the first build haha

I think so but I may need to try that again. Perhaps I lost that between saves

Have you reached level 5 with your character?

Oni

Have you agreed to be her master/give her commands?

hornguy6

then release it as a massive update

Victor Lewis

I think it would be better to keep pushing forward

Victor Lewis

Ok thx Oni

LeoDustin

The latter. Even if I max her stats out she won't do so.

Dating, and probably fondling and increased support for threesome actions. Maybe some other stuff. Depends on when I want to cut bait and actually release something verse keep pushing it forward. Whatever doesn't make the next version will end up in the one after, of course.

Oni

So oni what canwe expect for kitty in the next release?

LeoDustin

Thanks for taking our suggestions to heart Oni. You are an example of what a developer should be. Engaging with your fans is the best way to keep them around and im glad to see you take our words seriously. You are the kind of person i will support and follow forever.

BaronVonSnuggle

Hopefully soon, I still have some work to do with converting the systems over.

Oni

Are you saying that the Professor never calls you to his office, or that you never get the option to use your powers on him?

Oni

So soon we should see an update of the game? and see more of the Rogue and Kitty story lines?

Ben

Thanks for this, regular updates really do make a big difference to supporter engagement

Tim The Enchanter

I liked the kind of a hidden thing(?) with Rogue calling you daddy :D

Speaking of random scenes, in an earlier build of the game several months ago I would commonly get Rogue to use her powers on Professor X. However I've yet to have it happen again since then. Is it completely random or have I missed certain requirements for the scene?
