PURE ONYX - May 29, 2020 Inner Circle Test Release!
Added 2020-05-30 00:23:53 +0000 UTCHey guys!
Here's the latest test release for the Inner Circle tier!
He still needs some polishing, but the Vioreaper is in for combat testing! Currently, he's using ground enemy AI, so once we add flying enemy AI he should become more unique and dynamic. As we do this, we'll improve his motion patterns to be more organic and floaty. His stinger attack is functional, but I'd like to increase his wind-up time, and he still needs some FX graphics added to spice it up. Currently he can fire diagonally, which makes him a bit overpowered. This will be adjusted when we finalize the six-axis facing direction code.
We've also added the first test of the bukkake system! This system adds fluid visuals from H scene finishers, and these will persist and build up on Onyx throughout the level. The system currently has four zones (head / torso / crotch / legs), and for this release the Thug scene will load up the crotch zone, up to level 2. We plan to do additional stuff with this, such as add particle FX / stringy drips that come off of Onyx as she moves. Feel free to discuss / suggest fun ideas for this.
Last but not least, we have a lot of input related additions and fixes from APL! We've added a temporary version of the controls screen to the Pause menu, as well as a device-based icon system for input notifications. The displayed input device will change to match the device you last used.
Here's the full change log / known issues list!
Change Log for May 29 Release
- Added first version of the bukkake system
- Added Vioreaper enemy for combat testing
- Added projectile framework
- L3 button (pressing L analog stick) has been re-enabled for triggering dash.
- H scene terminates properly again on return to the main menu
- Added dynamic control layout screens to the pause menu
- Added dynamic input legends (currently only used for H scenes)
- We believe we've fixed the "ghost hits" issue where a hitbox from Onyx's attacks would continue hitting enemies in front of Onyx. Let us know if this still occurs for you.
- Camera dampening no longer causes jitters at FPS > 60, and has therefore been re-enabled.
KNOWN ISSUES
- Onyx sometimes just hangs out instead of playing Death animation when killed by a stinger.
- When Vioreaper reloads, it looks janky (stinger rotates 180 deg)
- Vioreapers can currently fire stingers diagonally. They also have quite a long range and tend to spam the stinger attack. This makes them more aggressive than intended and will be toned down.
- Vioreaper hitboxes need improving
- Exiting the menu with the Jump/Punch button (depending on input device) can sometimes cause Onyx to fire off a jump/punch (related to the temporary input fix).
- Skipping a stage in H scenes can cause particle FX to desync on the next animation.
- Fluid FX appear brighter than they should at the moment
- Removing FPS cap via drivers mid-game may potentially cause bad issues. This may be resolved with the new input fix, but haven't gotten enough data yet to know.
- Bystander positioning can have some issues still (they can sometimes be too close, or overlapping each other if H scene occurs near edge of level).
- Enemy’s red “eye shine” FX cue for H attacks is sort of buggy still, and is not appearing as intended (will be much more polished looking).
- Final animations in an H scene freeze when fadeout begins
- Splicer Thugs and Runts are incorrectly invulnerable after standing up for about 10 -20 frames.
- It’s annoyingly difficult to perform Onyx’s stomp attack on a controller currently.
- Physics on Splicer Thug’s belt causes clipping / artifacts / looks janky
- Enemy character geometry gets culled too close to the camera border. Can result it body parts not appearing when they are at the edge of the screen.
- Holding the opposite direction when finishing a power attack will cause Onyx to turn rapidly while still in her attack pose, resulting in an ugly animation artifact.
- Onyx can (rarely) be out of position with the Splicer Thug during struggle
- Skipping a certain H animation (the Thug’s transition from standing to doggy style) with the Jump button can improperly skip over the first segment of the doggy style scene.
Comments
Would be nice for more enemy scenes or as some else said, combo in more people, maybe have some sort of arousal meter the higher it is, the more likely more people can enter the scene, so start out with solo, but the more before a level up or a certain amount of time as the bar goes down, more can add into the scene?
2020-06-23 03:51:53 +0000 UTCi still wanna see the game over loop first and foremost.

2020-06-23 01:40:04 +0000 UTCNice! I look forward to your progress.
2020-06-04 21:29:53 +0000 UTC4 full time and 6 part time at the moment :D.
2020-06-04 21:15:47 +0000 UTCHmmm looks solid. How big is the team you're working with?
2020-06-04 21:05:05 +0000 UTCYep! We are at various stages of completion on a few bosses already. Females take longer, so will be fleshed out when we're less bogged down by getting the main structure of the game up and running. Here are some poses of the first boss that will make it in the game -- we are finalizing his 3D models / rigging now: https://twitter.com/EromancerG/status/1151376079057276928
2020-06-04 20:49:32 +0000 UTCAre there female enemies and bosses in the works for this game?
2020-06-04 15:46:25 +0000 UTCYeah, you're right, I will do that.

2020-06-01 05:38:32 +0000 UTCI have tried again to get into the high wave numbers and have been in the 30's waves 3 times. After several attempts, in which I did not manage to get above wave 20, I started again without closing the game. Therefore I can only say from my test: Even when playing longer the problem doesn't start anymore. I myself didn't notice it even in the high wave numbers above 30.

2020-05-31 07:09:36 +0000 UTCWe have one report of it unfortunately :( :( so we'll have to do more digging. It's pretty consistent that it happens above Wave 20, so we think it may have something to do with enemies' aggression setting a parameter to a bad value. Thanks a lot for your persistence in testing :D!
2020-05-30 23:00:32 +0000 UTCI've played five times in a row now. I've made it to wave 15 - 17. I didn't notice any more that my opponent is automatically beaten from a distance without me having to do anything.

2020-05-30 21:48:19 +0000 UTCEnemies should be able to strip Onyx down as they fight. There should also be some kind of game over sex animation. You should also include some groupsex as well (spitroast, dp, airtight.) Great job so far, loving the bukkake system!
