The best level to unlock new scenes relatively quickly is "Test Mission", at least in my experience.

Okay. I understand that. The process of not destroying the project and still continuing to work on it effectively, even if they don't release everything, will continue until they get close enough to the targeted goal on SS that the change can be made without hesitation. Safety over actionism is the thought, I think. We don't know what else is in storage "behind the scenes" just waiting to be released. But I understand your thoughts.

I'm using porn-games that consist of entirely still images like Monstergirl quest/paradox as an example of how still images with descriptive writing can be more effective than a porn-game with amazing animations but no descriptive writing. I don't know what's in the plan to be added, but right now the team haven't made plans to add any "GAME OVER" screens because of Patreon apparently. I'm just trying to make a case for them to add game over screens for builds that aren't Patreon because the sexual content severely lacking any depth beyond "rape is happening".

I'm about to turn 40, so I've been playing sidescroll fighting games for a long time. In my opinion, this game has potential, and I can see it having even greater potential in the future! I can't wait to see what the finished version will be like. Keep up the good work!

Mistake Jake Gaming

In the case of "comics" and other little or non-animated content, it is actually possible to stimulate the imagination, because you inevitably have to think your way into the scene and embellish it yourself in your thoughts. And everyone does this subjectively differently. Judging the alpha state based on the animated mechanics and placeholders without a story that leads to ideas and mind games is biased. Also, the comparison of CG games weakly animated with RPGMaker/RenPy/Phyton with an animated unity-game is a miscomparison. Perhaps I interpret this "prejudgement" too harshly, but I read it as a biased criticism and not as a goal-oriented and constructive one. The "action" in the examples mentioned is also different from that of PureOnyx. Close to the examples mentioned are the early/first versions of MatM, but even there it is not a comic but animated.

ok i'll look for it,many thanks

Hey! They unlock when you pick up the disks that drop randomly from enemies. They have the same green container graphic right now as consumables, so it's easy to miss them. Sorry for the confusion. It's a placeholder unlock system.

play many times and still cant unlock new H scene

It's not about "stretching the guidelines" it's separating as much as possible from who is setting those guidelines. This game will succeed on some level... it's just how much will it succeed compared to other games that weren't being held back like this is. There're porn-games out there that are just static CG's with no animation at all, but what makes them so hot is the imagination, the context, the emotion and the consequences. Monstergirl Quest/Monstergirl Paradox by Toro Toro Resistance is a great example or Overgrown by The Dystopian Project is an even better example since that's got a female protagonist. I'll put this way: there's good stuff to satisfy the eyes but nothing to satisfy the imagination, the eyes are awake but the mind is asleep, there's nothing to bring the player into sexual elements of the game... Even though the sexual element needs to be the games main selling point.

Currently it is still the same content | Patreon = SubscribeStar. But in the foreseeable future this will change. The H-projectiles used by the Vioreapers are announced like any other H-attack with a sound and a glow of the executing character. My thesis is: If you don't react as soon as you recognize the sound or the glow, it makes no difference if the super-fast projectile glows or not. It's hard to dodge, but that doesn't make it easier. However - to take this idea further - the question would be: "Is it possible to adjust the hitbox so that when you slide on the ground (like in the attack for the small larvae) you don't get hit by projectiles or punches above?" At least that's what I noticed with the Bunny Girl. When it whirls around with the katanas you get hit in any case, no matter if you run into it or slide into it.

This is great.

Hi, fresh new member here so sorry I if ask some dumb questions. First thing, is the latest test patch the same on patreon as subscribestar? The two are the same version with the same amount of content? Secondly, after played a decent bit and getting to lvl 10, I find the "voidlings" (the ones that shoot stingers) to be very annoying/hard to dodge when they use their H skill. It can also hit you when they are off your screen. I'd suggest that their projectile be glowing blue if it's the H projectile, so at least you'll see it. Also will this game ever get belly inflation and lactation animations? Thanks~

I am less likely to believe that "labeling" the context, or stretching the guidelines, will lead to success, not to mention that it would justify the extra effort of rhetoric. Limiting creativity has usually led to unpalatable compromises. The S-Star solution is a sensible and good step, and I believe it will be taken. Sooner or later. I will stay tuned and when the time comes, I will be part of it.

Mostacho

Makes sense, but could a work around be that instead of it showing a "bad end" per say, just a showing of a h-scene that you lost to? Therefore it wouldnt be like "and so on she was a sex slave" or something but just more of the same

Dee

Maybe you could try further transitioning over to Subscribestar, make a Patreon build and a Subscribestar build. You wouldn't be alone if you went that route, more and more creator's are actually abandoning Patreon completely because of their continuous content policing. If that's not a viable option then possibly involve Discord more with build distribution and details... I'm basically saying that it would be best to decrease Patreon's involvement as much as possible in favour of literally anywhere else. Just tell Patreon to go fuck themselves!

Jonathan Marlow

Game over scenes are definitely a staple in the genre, but they are unfortunately not allowed on Patreon. It was actually in the TOS/community guidelines at one point, which is why we haven't gone that route.

Even not necessarily animated, like one or two full screen still CGs i'd even be cool with

Dee

I really like Jonathan's idea for game overs

Not Yabuziness

A new Patreon friendly one is still under construction, correct ^-^;;.

They're not new anymore :D the known issues list here just needs updated ^-^. The fire traps in Red-Light test stage

The sexual content still feels very superficial, it's better than what it was, particularly with the Vioreaper. While nicely animated, it's lacking elements that would give the sex more depth and without any context, emotion or even consequences it's lacking that certain "spark" that will really make the porn aspects pop-off. These things are more important than most people realize, it's not a matter of overthinking the aspects of porn game, it's about going that extra mile in making the best damn porn game you possibly can! Probably would be best to add a "GAMEOVER" scene for each enemy that displays a sense of finality to justify it being a "GAME OVER" situation. For example: a breeding slave for the Vioreaper in some nest or something, a sex slave to the splicer thugs in a dungeon somewhere, brainwashed into becoming a loyal and obedient Femcop herself. etc. Stuff like that! Explore the concept more!

Whoo!
