The Outfit and Monster Name Poll

Just thought I'd pop in and say I'm not dead. I'll post an update on things tomorrow. Time for me to sleep now. I'll post the results tomorrow as well thswherizat.

YummyTiger Gaming

the monster won't be named Smasher-Masher-Flabber-Crasher

Furanky

So the survey has been down for a few days now, what were the results?

thswherizat

Good call! I want this demo battle as well!

Any news on the last update from Bogworts spooky week of neverending madness? Sorry to be a broken record on this, it just represents the only piece of h content we've seen since the prologue a couple years ago. If not, it's cool. I understand you are transitioning to part time and are probably overworked. Even if that wasn't happening, you and your team are the ones putting in the work.

Shame that i started listening to Halestorm yesterday, because i'd totally add the typical rockstar/metal outfit to the poll (You know, leather jacket, tight pants)

Aestral

A week. I typically run them a week to ensure that most everyone gets a chance to see it and vote.

YummyTiger Gaming

How long is the survey going to last?

thswherizat

That's almost exactly my stance. I've never even seen anything on Hunter's Quest except what Yummy has posted on here, but given that it's apparently in Japanese with minimal to no translation currently available, I'm not surprised by my lack of knowledge. That being said, YT needs paid, yo.

I voted against it :-)

YummyTiger Gaming

Yes. The outfit poll will actually be the top 4 and you'll vote again, but this time with sketches. The name poll will be final, and I'll show you the results.

YummyTiger Gaming

Besides that fact, I still don't care about Hunter's Quest, but I want to give a pledge because I think that you deserve a pledge for Chapter 1, and you don't, so this is a happy halfway mark for me.

thswherizat

Just so everyone knows, if you don't vote for the Smasher-Masher-Flabber-Crasher, please post here so I can give you a dissappointed ascii face. ಠ_ಠ Can you just imagine YummyTiger having to type that in? And how he would write it in what Aylia says when she hears the name AND how Bogwort would have to explain whatever idiot named that to her? So if you vote for something else, I'm ready. ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ

thswherizat

Will we see the runner ups for that outfits and name poll?

No problem, as I mentioned, it will always be in your control. I hope you give it a try if you get a chance though. You might end up liking the game. I've made a bunch of changes. Still, if you chose to spend any money on Hunter's Quest, I'd rather you spent it for the original author first.

YummyTiger Gaming

Well, the purpose for the translation and other side projects were to keep things fresh. Also, when I started Aylia's Quest, I was very much learning RPG Maker. Translating a game like HQ taught me a lot about how others used the system. So, it was a win-win. But, me being me, I could not simply translate it and ignore some of the major flaws (like no NPC reactions to her tits hanging out, WTF!?!). So, it became a bit of a project as well. Though, to answer your question, a pledged update would help with the process.

YummyTiger Gaming

Thanks. A lot of the monster designs are from artwork I've purchased online. I can't take credit, I usually purchase the artwork and then redraw it to fit my vision. This one though was much more mine than some of the others (only so much you can do with a bat or a snake). This guy should be fun, and believe it or not, he is actually an H enemy. Not sure how erotic he will be, but it might get a laugh or two.

YummyTiger Gaming

Yes, the illusionary clothing could open up some strange possibilities. So could others though as well. So many good options, I'm glad you guys have to choose, hehe.

YummyTiger Gaming

Thank you, and my thought on the HQ pledge was with the notion that you'd have both chapter 1 and the full HQ translation as well. People should try HQ when it is released, I think they'll enjoy it. I obviously feel Aylia's Quest is better, but then I'm biased :-)

YummyTiger Gaming

I don't know anything about Hunter's Quest... I'm here because the AQ demo was really well written and legitimately funny, so I'd be a skip.

TheOldDruid

not really a fan of any of the answers for the third question. TBH I don't give a shit about hunter's quest but I'll pledge for an update if it helps fund quicker/more efficient work on the main game

TFLlama

That little brown spike-ball monster looks cute. Did you have fun designing the various creatures our pair of MC shall end up facing as they adventure?

Mizu

I'm all for the illusiory clothes amulet with the understanding that she's actually naked, and all the hijinks that can ensue under those circumstances... drafts, cold stone chairs, etc.

Paypal won't make any transfers between parties when there's erotic content involved, one of the reasons I have boycuttet their service using my plain credit card instead.

waffel

Kinda disagree. It all comes down to how YT makes it fit in. The traditional elven dress would be an easy one, seeing as the main character is an elf, and most likely has some knowledge as to how such a thing would look. Plus, there is a tailor in the village. Aylia could just commission a dress based on her own design. Her reasons to commission such a dress could be numerous. Maybe she is feeling a bit nostalgic, or maybe she just doesn't feel comfortable in clothes made by humans and other "lesser beings"? As for the other outfits; they could easily be lore-friendly renamed, yet keeping the design. Even my own suggestion, the "fantasy Persian armor" (think 300: RoaE combined with a perverted mind) could be a good fit if explained as...oh, let's just go with an obvious cliché: "Eliandrian dark knight armor from their war against the gods". Found in an ancient crypt? After all, who is to say that all elven armor has to be a "good guy"-ish LotR copy? And maybe the ancient Eliandre wanted to look the part when actually waging war against the gods. That's just my suggestion though. Basically, in one way or another, every single one of the outfit options would blend nicely into the game. Fantasy alone narrows down how they can be implemented as a natural piece of the story.

I hope the voters take into consideration the setting when choosing outfits. Many of the choices would stand out from the normal or not make sense as to how she got ahold of it. Even the "traditional elven dress" would be an odd find unless she finds other elves (otherwise how does anyone know what their dress are like? Unless she custom orders it from a tailor)

I get you on the job situation. I myself am in a similar position. I plan on leaving, but I can't just grab my hat and abandon everything. So I end up working twice as much, closing projects and making sure the sand castle doesn't fall apart when I'm gone. I haven't heard of Hunter’s Quest, but I think you deserve a financial reward for your work (meaning Chapter 1). Especially considering how much people, with projects that can't hold a candle to yours, are making.

The "tangle-" monster name sounds like a pokemon and "Kurimace" sound like a Yu-gi-oh card. I don't feel right when monster names in an H-game remind me of my childhood's favorite games.

Already ask you a paypal to make you a donation for your work ... xD never get answer :) of course i will sup you !

Oh, and there is literally no good reason for the picture. It just makes me laugh :-)
