Delay in Updates

Sorry I keep pushing back my expected updates. My tablet broke again so I need to repair it again. Unfortunately I won't be able to release the pregnancy until next weekend (the 27th) and likely the cum-shot endings won't be able to go in until 5/4 . The fix for the recent gameplay changes might not come until next weekend as well. I apologize, just a lot of unforeseen problems have been cropping up, both with the game itself and my schedule. At the very least, I can absolutely promise that both the player pregnancy system and the cum-shot animations will go in before 5/15.

  1. Any word on the hotfix? Game's too broken right now to even look for bugs. At least beyond the bugs that have already been reported twenty times already, lol.

  2. How is the design going to work if the male or futa PC wins a donation vote? Do the people donating give feedback? I mean for instance, i would prefer if it was a feminine looking male or a younger male, for both the gay and straight content with the monsters for the male PC. But how is the design for such a thing decided? It's not exactly the same as some of the other monsters where we know what we're getting and what we're donating for.

    1. Good point. I'm thinking for this, and for some of the other monsters and visual features I might make sketches so you guys have a better idea of what you're getting. Also, for something like a male player character I might go ahead and set up a poll over on LoK with a few different pictures you can vote on.

    2. Wouldn't it be more fair for the people who actually donated to get more of a say? It seems kinda unfair to make a poll for a bunch of people who didn't even initially want/donate for it.

      Doesn't really give much incentive to donate for it, especially if someone donates 50+ dollars and they want the male to be feminine as an example, then the vote wins for a masculine looking guy and the very feature they donated money for ends up becoming something they didn't want.

      That would really blow.

    3. I'll definitely give precedence to the preferences of the donors over anyone else. I'm also pretty flexible with this whole thing, all you have to do is contact me and let me know what you want.

      In the worst case scenario, and it ends up that the way I implemented the thing you donated for isn't what you thought it would be, you can just ask me to move your donation onto a different feature. I'd also probably just handle this on a case-by-case basis.

  3. I really love this game, but now It is very difficult to play. Is there anyway to access version 3.2?

    1. There is a way. It requires waiting until it is released... In the future.

  4. question, the main character is a monster breeder yes? My what exactly are they being bred for?

    Are they kept as sexytime pets? or are dungeons being filled with monsters as guards? or used in raids on enemy villages? Or even all of the above?

    Think about it, how would a world with these monsters function? Could give you some ideas for new game modes or a new story. Who knows?

    just had to say my piece, kthxbai

    1. There is actually a backstory to the game, it's just not in it yet, copy and pasting what I wrote over on LoK:

      The clients have sex with them, but don't worry the monsters invariably like it. The monsters feed off of the energy of fulfilled desires (hence why they grow in power when you feed them sex juices). Having sex with them is actually the most constructive way you can use them; they could feed off of negative desires, like the desire to kill someone else, and an atmosphere of too much oppression will make them react violently. As a preview of the further storyline: basically there is a goddess of chaos and a goddess of order, and the followers of the goddess of order created the empire (of which Delilah is a member). The empire got too strong and enforced oppressive policies on the entire world, so in retaliation the goddess of chaos created the monsters to rape and pillage. The breeders try to strike a balance: they capture and restrain the monsters from raping random people, but they try to match the monsters to people in a controlled manner so they can still fulfill their desires. This setting stuff will all make it into the story-line eventually.

      The empire (as an official stance) actually hates sex in general and thinks it's a disgusting practice that must be done purely for the continuation of the species. Delilah would most likely rather have all the monsters killed. As zealous followers of the goddess of order they enjoy control and oppression essentially "just because".

      The breeders definitely have a profit motive, but partially they are breeding specifically to stick it to the empire (which is why Margo is so hostile to Delilah). They want to subvert the empire, but they don't want to do it through rape and murder which is how the monsters would go about it if they were uncontrolled. The monsters react directly to an atmosphere of repression, so the more sexually repressed the people around them are the more violent they become, but the more satisfied the people around them are the more docile they become.

      As an aside, there is a third faction you haven't been introduced to of feral people who live in the wilds among the monsters, actively participating in the raping and pillaging. There's also the elves who are technically a form of monster, but they're aristocratic and civilized and instead of violence tend to satisfy themselves through extreme decadence and kink and the moral corrupting of humans.

      EDIT: Also, I would say that "Sex Pokemon" is a pretty good way to look at the relationship between the monsters and their owners.

  5. Since there's going to be a male player character eventually, will the threesome animations (Since those will be in there eventually also) include him?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Or better yet to describe it better, how will the threesome animations work with a futa or male character when there will be no female?

      Delete
    2. This will have to be a different feature that will go up on the page. Unfortunately it's an entire other set of animations so it's not going to be a part of either the update adding the male character or the update adding threesome animations (it would simply take too much time for me to do).

    3. Thanks for answering, would it be the same circumstances for the futa character?

  6. "Unfortunately I won't be able to release the pregnancy until next weekend (the 27th)"

    1. Sorry, I meant the 28th. I will almost always schedule releases for Sunday because that gives me the whole weekend to work on them.

  7. Whats the likelihood of seeing an update tonight?

    1. Extremely high. Depending, though, the pregnancy system might be a little janky/unfinished.

      I would guess I'll be releasing it at just about midnight PST.

  8. What time zone are you in again? Are you writing from Venus, where one day takes about 225 hours, and a week takes like 65 days? 'Cause I'm still tapping my foot, checking my watch, and clearing my throat like an over-entitled douche on the April 19th game-unbreaking hotfix.

    Seriously, though--I'm this passionate because you have a quality product (and I'm an over-entitled douche). So mad props for getting my panties in a bunch, god bless you for making this game, and god help you if I don't get my goddamn update today... :P

    1. You know, it'd be much easier to get my updates done on time if I had the money to buy a new tablet *wink**wink* :P

    2. Hmm... how about a donation of tradework.

      Your According to your history posted a ways up, monsters were created by the gods of chaos to rape and pillage--to counter-balance the Imperium's puritanical powers. That means that, left to their own devices, the monsters will run around and wreak havoc upon the land.

      Now, when you breed a monster you don't want, what do you do? You release it into the wild. Leaving it to its own devices. Meaning to wreak havoc on the land.

      It could be an interesting framework element to have a 'state of the kingdom' meter (or faction meter, if you want people to be able to play both) where, instead of setting it free with no consequence, you're given the option to eitehr set it loose on the countryside (which would weaken the Imperium and strengthen Chaos by the base value of the monster), enlist it in the Imperial Watch (which would strengthen the Imperium and weaken Chaos by the value of the monster), or just throw it in a sack and drown it in the river (no change--or I suppose you could also sell it to the butcher for a small fraction of its worth).

      These figures could later tie into a number if different things--faction-sanctioned requests (say, a random gold request that has a faction symbol and a special extra reward, but only shows up when alignments are past a certain point), changes to the story based upon the state of the kingdom (bitchface demanding less extra money when the kingdom is in a positive state (in light of your dutiful citizenship) or less extra money when the kingdom is in a negative state (because monsters are ravaging the countryside, so there are bigger things to worry about), or more money in a positive (stronger Imperium can get away with more) or negative (support the war effort, penalize breeders for irresponsible practices) state... also, Game Over if the kingdom reaches too far to either extreme (Imperium falls, monsters overrun the world, or Imperium erradicates all wild monsters, turns to breeders next)).

      There could even eventually be special unit types that are unlocked once you reach a certain level of chaos or order, or a 'clan system' where chaos and order are just two of several houses/guilds/clans, which builds into the client system (where instead of bronze/silver/gold, you have a series of houses making a single demand each, and once you've beat a certain number of 'bronze' missions for each house, they're upgraded to silver--in this case, there could also be Chaos and Imperium requests that are unlocked when the state of the kingdom swings).

      Having a Chaos/Order barometer would also add another dimension to the whole breeding concept--to players would be encouraged to train up unwanted monsters before tossing them, to cull favour with one side of the other.

      Well, there you go. Will that buy you a tablet? No. But it'd be an easy feature that could set the framework for future elements (some of which, from the sounds of it, you were thinking of implementing anyways), close a pretty big plot-hole, and perhaps increase the scope of the game's feel--since you see your actions have an impact on the universe, rather than just sitting in an overlooked corner of it with a horse dick in your butt.

  9. I found a potential bug, or I've personally acquired the Herp-Derp trait.

    Herp-Derp Dickwolf / Non-Herp Harpy.

    Somehow, this gave me the Derpy eyes and such, but without the Herp-Derp trait. I've never seen that before, so the new Dickwolf is either inheriting his father's looks, or I'm right, and it's a bug.

    Also, is there some way to make payments at the end of the month easier? :(
    If I could, I'd use a .sol editor to increase my money to have enough for the month, but I don't have one capable of editing AS3.

    Also, has anyone written a stategy guide or anything to getting started?

    This game has become my new obsession.

    1. "Googly eyes without herp-derp" is not so much a bug as it is an unintentional easter egg. Herp-derp eyes are just as heritable as all the other eyes, and you don't have to have herp-derp to just inherit the eyes.

      Same principle with albino, etc. Sometimes you can have a monster inherit the visual aspects without the trait itself.
