Alpha Build 3.4
HOTFIX 4: 3.4.4
- Should fix the issue where traits were not being correctly recognized by clients.
(LESS) NINJA HOTFIX 3: 3.4.3
- Hopefully fixed trait unlocks via clients. Let me know if it works correctly.
NINJA HOTFIX 2: 3.4.2
- Altered how store monsters were generated to hopefully make clients less trivial. Also upped the cost for the ranch upgrades.
NINJA HOTFIX: 3.4.1
- Fixed a bug that was making gold clients not fulfill correctly and letting you spam it for infinite gil.
UPDATE (4/29/13): Alpha Version 3.4
Still a good possibility of game-breaking bugs. Let me know right away if you find any.
Player Pregnancy- The "first draft" of player pregnancy is now in the game! The player has a 1/15 chance of getting pregnant when you have sex with a male monster (this can be increased by fertility increasing consumables and traits). The player will carry the monster through a 7 day term, at the ending of which the new monster is born. The monster will be the same type and appearance as its father, with a very high probability of retaining its fathers stats. There are two rare traits that can only be obtained through player pregnancy. Currently there is no option to turn off pregnant animations, but this will be included later. Let me know how you feel about the very exaggerated pregnancy.
Status Screen- There's now a menu for viewing information about your player and the traits that you've unlocked.
Let me know if there's any bug fixes that I've missed. There's still a fix incoming for the weirdness with the way the hover-over works inside the monster pens.

SO far I found that i can repeat the same gold client turn in multiple times with the same monster, and if i don't exit the window i can get ridiculous amounts of money, then when i exit the window the monster I was trading in repeatedly vanishes and the traits don't unlock.
ReplyDeleteJust fixed this.
DeleteAlso don't seem to get traits unlocked for silver clients.
ReplyDeleteI believe it's not that; just tested it a bit, and it looks like the unlocked list just doesn't update.
DeleteI did silver and gold requests a bunch and never got anything unlocked in the "Status" page, but upon going to the store, found Geyser and Too Stronk on the monsters there (and there weren't listed).
Geyser and Too Stronk are both monster-specific traits, which won't show up on the unlock list.
DeleteI finished two gold clients and got the traits: Nurturing and Changeling.
DeleteThen, I went to the shop and restocked 10 times. But still no monster had these traits.
And they were not in the status report.
Um, I can't get the new features to work at all... and I'm on 3.4. Five males harvested a day for twenty days and still no luck? I get it's supposed to be rare, but... shouldn't the new features kick in at 3-5 days at that rate?
ReplyDeleteYou have to "Breed" with the males, not "Harvest" them.
DeleteChoose a monster to breed with itself. This will initiate PC/Monster breeding.
DeleteFound the Gold Client glitch-Catgirl on day 1/19-Gold client did not take catgirl from inventory nor update the Gold Client request so was able to "sell" the same catgirl to the same client until I had over 10mil gil and beat the game come month 4. Did not let me just pay off the full amount owed immediately or I would have "won" at the end of month 1. Also, at one point on the Silver Client list he wanted a Butt Stallion with the "Are you sure you're not adopted" trait and some high-ish stats but when I got the BS to the requested stats it would not acknowledge that he qualified and so after that, with the Gold Client already glitched, I could only fulfill Bronze Client requests until I got to the "You Win" screen.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem, the Gold Client wants a Dickwolf with "Albino" and some stats but when i meet these requirements i can't sell it to them. It says "this monster does not meet the client's demands" and the stats of my "albino" Dickwolf are more then double as high as required.
DeleteThere is definitely an issue with required traits not being detected by clients. There also seems to be an issue with unlocking silver traits, unless it isn't supposed to happen every time
DeleteStill running into this problem where the gold client is not recognizing that the BS has the desired trait. "No Downsides" trait desired and present, all other stats within client desired zone, client does not awknowledge BS meets needs.
Deletei am very ok with exaggerated pregnancy =P
ReplyDeleteLove this latest version! PC pregnancy is great, plus lets you diversify breeding stock quickly at beginning.
ReplyDeleteA few glitches:
Albino and Are you sure you aren't adopted were combining in unusual ways. I would expect if the child has albino trait, they would appear albino.
Holstauruses with Albino and Are you sure you aren't adopted could sexually transmit skin/hair color. May not depend on traits, just made it noticeable. Not always, only intermittent, happened to dickwolves and butt stallions.
Like the new herp/derp warnings, couldn't actually get it to proc, but didn't try statistically significant number of times.
All stat problems seem to be totally resolved.
Pregnancy, It would probably be a bit of work, but is there a way to have her start out "Less Pregnant" and have her belly grow through the course of the seven days to end up "Exageratedly Pregnant"? If not, no prob, game is awesome and coming along absolutely great!
ReplyDeleteI actually tried adding on this and failed last night. I can still do it, it's just less easy than I was hoping.
DeleteOkay, others might not be having this problem but when I breed the monsters, none of them seem to give birth at all. I played it for several days through (I was up to day 8), and no births. I was trying to breed some more dickwolves or catgirls...so I'm not sure about the other monsters.
ReplyDeleteHow many times did you try? You might've just been unlucky. Monsters have a 1/7.5 chance of having a child when you breed them together and a 1/15 chance when you breed with them yourself.
Deletefor the 1/7.5 chance, maybe you could translate it to a 2/15 chance for the monsters to impregnate each other instead so that fractions can stay consistent with each other with the common denominator.
DeleteI mean, in the code it literally is a 2/15 chance (mother's fertility value + father's fertility value)/15, with a default fertility of 1. Holstaurus milk raises fertility by one.
DeleteThe Herpderp warnings are messed up, for example with a borderline herpderp and a new one bought from the store the warning will still say herpderp despite this pairing not producing herpderps.
ReplyDeleteAlso had the "Are you sure you're not adopted" bug when trying to sell for a gold client.
Human intellect seems to be crazy overpowered, they just absorb everything and pass it on to their children. All the child needs is the intellect then you can reacquire every trait.
Herp-Derp warnings don't necessarily mean that the pairing will definitely produce a Herp-Derp, just that they are very close.
Deleteone thing i wanted to know... is there a new class, because i looked at the status screen and i saw that i had 5/6 species unlocked
ReplyDeleteThere actually is but it's not unlockable in the game yet (Demons are in the game but they're not ready to be added yet).
Deletesneaky sneaky, so is the demon class going to be added then?
DeleteYes, demons are going in pretty soon, but they won't be a full-fledged monster type just yet (will be missing most of their animations). Their bit on the donation list will be for completing their animations.
DeleteWhy do Demons and Elves have both females and males, then the rest of the monsters on the donation page are one sex or the other?
DeleteDemons only have males (so far, I might add Succubi later, but that would be a different monster type). Elves are the only special ones in regards to getting both male and female monsters, and that's largely due to my own personal preference. Opposite gender versions of existing monsters are on the table if enough people want that, though, but it will take me time.
DeleteIs there anyway in the next update, you can make it so once you lose the game the first time the weird lady can stop talking you. Because its pretty annoying when she says, "Oh no money, jail time for you." And I was thinking about import game saves, but it would start all over at day one or at least let you bring over one monster from previous version; you know like a small head start in the next version. Just want to know your thoughts on these opinions.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit of a big fan of your and I kind of wanted to help you out with any tedious parts of the game :). But don't get me wrong i think your doing an amazing job with this game, its awesome.
Deleteforgot to put project, sorry
DeleteNice work :D
ReplyDeleteI found a little bug : In the breeding pen, if you click next to a pet (in the light blue zone) the keyboard's keys will be inactivated until you quit the pen.
I think there really is a problem with monster breeding. I am in the 2nd month and using Holstaurus milk and not a single birth in my entire game other than the MC.
ReplyDeleteIs there a download link anywhere I'm missing? I would really like to download the swf for this because it is annohying playing this from browser on my phone.
ReplyDeleteThe link of the LoK forum (which contain the link) : http://www.legendofkrystal.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=2954&sid=922aeeac1df458e7ad0961a38551e321
DeleteAnd the link : http://www.legendofkrystal.com/forum/download/file.php?id=14085&cache=1
thank you very much for the speedy reply. XD
DeleteAre you planing to change the breeding window?
ReplyDeleteHaving trouble with saving. It says the game has been saved, but when i try to load it just states that theres no saved game data
ReplyDeleteHm, it's working for me. Do you have cookies enabled?
DeleteYes i do. I even checked for the local storage permissions for adobe flash, so no problem there.
DeleteWhat browser, OS, and flash version are you using?
DeleteBug report: The Harpy animation does not play completely. The first part is missing.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you use to write this?
ReplyDeleteThis is all done in flash with actionscript.
DeleteReally programmers threw up in their mouths just now but who cares what they think?
if it works, why not!
DeleteEh, I didn't...I view as long as your game works. Not all of us can be good at programing, flash with actionscript allows for more leniency for those that aren't. It is more of a soft programming software so when one little thing doesn't work it doesn't always crash the rest of the project.
DeleteI made sure I have the most recent version (3.4.4) I can't seem to fulfill this gold order.
ReplyDeleteCurrent one is
Str > 167
Sta > 120
Dex > 178
Must have Cruel
Anything but a Holstaurus
I've made a few creatures that meet these requirements but nothing is working. I've restarted a few times now, but I didn't note what the exact requirements were that I wouldn't accept. I always end up getting stuck on a gord client that will not accept anything though.
Also playing on the latest version (3.4.4) selling only to bronze and gold clients (2x), it unlocked 2 silver traits instead, Nurturing and Cruel.
ReplyDeleteThis is by design: the gold clients can unlock either silver or gold traits. The more silver traits that you've already unlocked, the higher the probability that you'll unlock a gold one.
DeleteSo I found this game and I must say nice work. I am curious to see how this develops further.
ReplyDeleteSince I have said that, some constructive criticism:
Human intelligence is SO overpowered its insane. Perhaps you should give it ranks and for every rank you can increase the max level of traits you can copy. Or you could give the traits more "quality classes" and you can only copy the lower ones.
Some of the traits you unlock seem counterproductive (cruel comes to mind). I think the unlocks should be either only positive or you should be able to disable them.
Its actually rather easy to get a stat capped creature (especially with human adaption). Perhaps there should be more ranch upgrades and with harpy den 1 you can only have harpies capped at for example 200 stats. With den 2 you could have 400 as cap
Gold clients that want stats below a certain threshold seem counterintuitive. Why would they want a weaker creature by default? It would make more sense if they wouldn't pay anything extra for high strength if they don't care about it.
Stats below a certain threshold are intended to add difficulty. As far as "storyline justification", they're just people with particular tastes: For instance, if I want a more docile monster I'll want their ferocity to be lower.
DeleteCruel IS a positive trait: it's a great way to make a monster who can fulfill client requirements below a certain threshold.
Hey there, first of all, very nice work on this update, it has to be the best so far.
ReplyDeleteI think it has been said, but human intellect is both overpowered and a plague as it is, it needs some tweaking.
You should sort the traits between "genetical stuff" that can't be copied and "ability" trait that can be copied.
Also, some traits should exclude each other, like "altruistic" and "cruel" or "Are you sure you're not adopted" and "strong family resemblance".
It's just silly to see your monster changing its color and shape during a sexual intercourse, and it's infuriating to have an altruistic monster suddenly turning cruel.
Good game. Sorry for the long comment. ^^'
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how people say this game is easy?
In the first month it is intermediate, then it gets easy allowing me to build, and then it gets harder as money gets higher and quickly. And I am not sure how I would make hundreds of thousands of gold per month later in game.
And did the gold system change? At first it seemed it was 1000+whatever was left and then what she took last time+what you have this time. Now it seems to increase but in some different way.
Also the clients that want the monsters with lower stats a few months into the game are tough to satisfy. Maybe have it that at the end of a month the clients change their wants?
Also an idea is maybe have it where you can hire workers to harvest or increase stats. Not alot of farms only have one worker. :P
It would help since it would generate gold later in game when you get them. And two the game started to drag on when its 'harvest, sleep, harvest, sleep' 30 times a month for how long it takes.
And is there a wiki or something that gives tips or something for the game? I don’t know what breeding modifier is. : /
And what do the stars next to the consumable’s stats mean?
Also, is there a way to save the game without losing the save when I delete all cookies?
As for raising money for the game, have you tried looking at offbeatr.com?
+1 everything he said. I can't proceed with that annoying cunt doubling the cash every month. wtf were you thinking? I had 1036 (just enough to cover the amount needed) then get it DOUBLED the next??
DeleteYou know you can just ignore her a keep playing right? Also the system is a placeholder.
DeleteI'll be honest, no I didn't realize that. In that case, it'll be a hell of a lot easier now knowing that since I was up to something like 6k next payment and would need to grind harvest the entire month to get it. The thought of trying to do a 12k or more the following month would be a headache LOL
DeleteHere are some pointers that make it really easy if you have trouble:
ReplyDeleteStart a game. There are two things to give you a real jumpstart:
Go to town and check the creatures that are for sale. Buy a catgirl and a dickwolf that have ONLY positive modifiers (stam/dex for the catgirl and str/dex for the dickwolf). Its okay if you have to refresh ONCE to reach this goal. If you don't get them: Restart
Check your customers. Make sure that at least one of the goals is easily reachable. Dex, Sta and Str stats are easy to reach, the others can be reached but are more difficult. If all of them ask for harpies or other creatures you cant have yet: Restart.
Those 2 things should get you started. If you are really lucky you might get creatures with only positive stats and even a trait or multiple creatures with only positive modifiers. A creature with cha+ can also help early to improve your harvest value.
Start breeding to improve your stats and to get offspring with a sweet 3 stats + modifier and no negatives. If you get the perfect result it will end in a male one that you can use to breed with you (breed the creature with itself) to get the overpowered human intelligence trait.
With a really, really good start you can make over 3k the first month.
Month 2 should be: get a harpy with all night long (preferably with a stat+ you dont have yet) and make sure your 3stats monster gets to breeding. End result: 4 stats+ with all night long.
And to get the money really flowing: get a butt horse with geyser.
With geyser 10, high cha creature you can make 2k cash per milking. And with high stam/ all night long 10 you can get 10-15 milkings a day depending on dexterity (which should be easy thanks to the early 2x dex+ from your first creatures) that's 20k+ gold per day.
That was very helpful. Thank you.
DeleteQuick question, will the monster egg laying animations also apply to the player?
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thank you Harista!
Deletethe options button in the system is broken or out of order. Is this intentional or a bug?
ReplyDeleteOptions menu isn't in the game yet. The button exists purely to troll you.
DeleteOne question. When I look at the Status (General/Other) I see that there are 7 possible creatures to have. But I only ever get six. Just a typo or something?
ReplyDeleteIt says there are six, when there are five available. Not technically a typo: there's a sixth monster type in the game it's just not possible to get it yet.
DeleteI have a question regarding the incest/Herp-Derp system.
ReplyDeleteFrom my experience (limited black box testing in a way) I assume there is a hidden counter for inbreeding; so that once it hits a certain threshold, all offspring are herp-derp. Is there a way to reverse the counter, or are you just screwed after one point?
Here an example that lead to this question:
(A and B are already products of inbreeding)
A+B = C
C+A = D
D + new (storebought) = E
E + new = herp-derp
After some time I found it can take up to 7 generations of breeding the offspring of a single line of dickwolvs before you get a herp-derp child.
DeleteI think you should lower the gil amount required to win or at least add a code for if you want to see an actual end and continue
ReplyDeleteA few thoughts of mine:
ReplyDelete1: I like the idea of paying back 10mil over 5 years, but Delilah's scaling for payment is still a bit off. It punishes the player for earning money too quickly. Perhaps the player can go to the guild and pay Margo so the loan gets payed down without the payment getting out of control at the end of the month.
2: In the strategy guide posted above and my own experience, it's best to restart the game a few times until you get at least one dickwolf and one catgirl with +dex, +str, and +sta. Can the pet shop be set so that the first day it only has +stats or even just the first time you go?
3: Am I the only one that gets a little overwhelmed by mid game when all the buildings are full? It would be nice to be able to hide monsters that you know you aren't breeding for a few days, or maybe send them to a petting zoo for low level but reliable money flow while you're trying to breed in a particular trait.
4: I love the pregnancy belly at extreme from the start and would appreciate the option screen to let the user lock the belly at full instead of growing through the term.
5: PLEASE finish the Holstaurus animations, and before you integrate any more characters, maybe show them off before an update and then add all their animations at once. Add me in for wanting succubi on the voting menu.
It took me a bit to understand the mechanics of the game, but now I'm playing it very happily!
ReplyDeletesuggestions: The monthly increase is way too hard on novices. While being able to continue playing regardless is cool, i'd suggest either to be able to choose an 'easy' setting where the added value is lower?
bugs: The albino herpes = everything my albino touches, it turns white! and then the infected ones also spread the albino disease, now all my monsters are snowy white ;_;
I love that my favored feature, neoteny,is currently winning. I wish i had some money to donate, but I'm fresh out for the moment. I would like to say that the donation for features thing is a great idea that works, provided you continue releasing updated in a timely fashion. When money is put down, people get testy. If you don't have time, you should close donations after a set period as a sign of goodwill that you aren't just milking the donations for nothing.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks about your tablet, man. I hope that the repairs went smoothly. I've been enjoying your art and animations. Really fun stuff. Go ahead and take as long as you like to finish the neoteny stuff, or at least give us an options button to hide it.
ReplyDeleteAs for the ending, is there an actual ending, or just a couple of dialog screens? Has anyone managed to balance the money system and pay off the debt? I was able to get a couple of geyser 10 and greased lightning 10 monsters, but even then the payment eventually hit ~4mil for the month and there just wasn't enough jizz in a day to pay that off.
The clouds show through the last unused building on the left (as you look at it), between the windows and the end of the wall closest to the street. also the hover names, of the animals, accumulate at the top sometimes covering buttons making them (the buttons) unusable.
ReplyDeleteIdeas:
make traits buy-able instead of unlocking them from selling to clients. this way we can select what traits we want and uses up all that extra cash this game has. in the future these prices could be adjusted to add difficulty levels. Could call the buy-able things "licenses" like FF12. The more a trait helps you out the more it would be.
Have the pet shop buy monsters too. this way we can get more money to buy the new traits or pay the debt. Keep the special clients who would pay top dollar. The pet shop sell price would be much less than the clients. This way we aren't releasing dozens of monsters we worked to get.
(could also make a mix of buying traits and special client unlocks)
have a place in town to make payments on debt. this way you no longer have to worry over increasing amounts. instead it would be a constant minimum that would be due and you could pay more and when you have money. If the minimum isn't met then she comes after you.
Skip mating/harvesting scenes. have a check box or something to skip those scenes if your doing something 5+ times it gets old.
don't know if its still in the game or not but a way to keep playing after you finish paying(only did it once in version 2).
Problems I see in the future:
by not finishing the animations for the monsters you have now (basic ones not cum shot), you're setting yourself up to a huge backlog of unfinished things. yes, what people paid for should be a priory; but after you finish the excising.
That all said i love this game and want it to do well.
Hey Hartista, do you check/respond to emails through your donation/paypal email?
ReplyDeleteGuess not. If i have any questions regarding donations should i just post them here or on the forum?
Delete(Sent you an email a while back regarding donations.)
Sorry about that. For reference for others: I can most easily be reached through private messages on the Legend of Krystal forums. I definitely can be reached by e-mail, though, but I get a lot of spam and may miss your message, so don't feel bad about bugging me about it here or on LoK if I don't respond after a while.
Deletewhat happens when you commit incest in this?
ReplyDeleteAfter enough incest, your monsters develop the Herp Derp trait which gives them googly eyes like Derpy from My Little Pony. It takes a few generations of inbreeding before it kicks in.
DeleteMore importantly it overrides any other traits the monster has, which is a serious penalty.
DeleteWHOA! I had no idea. When I 'earned' it the first time, it was when I was still breeding for stats and not traits. That is pretty serious!
Deleteany idea when next update is?
ReplyDeleteHey, just wanted to make sure someone said this. thank you for putting so much effort into this, i know allot of what you hear is how the game isnt working this way or that, but for gods sakes! thanks for making the game. im spending hours a day just playing and replaying this game. i havent won yet cause i keep starting fresh every day. but im enjoying it just how it is, so anything else you do is just perfecting an already awesome game. so thank you for working so hard, i wish i had your talent.
ReplyDeletehey got a... glich/bug. have 5 Dick wolves, breed a new one. so gotta get rid of one. went to clients and sold one. came back and it still forced me to release one of my 5 remaining dick wolves. dont know if it happens with all critters but thought i would let you know, didnt see it in anyother comments. thanks again for the great game. if i wasnt unemployed i would be puting some money in donations.
ReplyDeletecouldnt impregnant the player more then once got to mounth 4/28 couldnt impregnant her more then once
ReplyDeleteTry holstaurus milk or breeding the fertile trait into your monsters. My breeder spent most of her career pregnant.
DeleteRequests which require low stats are near impossible late or mid game if you breed too well. Just a point.
ReplyDeleteIf by "too well" you mean giving everyone "human intellect" and "no downsides", then here's your problem.
DeleteI had a similar issue with the less than requirements. By the endgame, my monsters started with half stats and after one breeding had full stats. It was just easier to save, sell monster, see if requirement had something stupid like less than, albino, or cruel, if so, load, if not, party on, Wayne.
DeleteThe requirements seem to be cyclical. After meeting a few really hard requirements, then I'd get a string of much easier clients who just wanted high stats on a particular monster.
It would also be nice if they paid a little better. 10mil at 40k a pop takes a bit.
