HOTFIX 2 (8/19/13): A bug that broke player pregnancy should now be fixed.
HOTFIX (8/19/13): Gamebreaking store bug should be fixed now, let me know if there are any more problems.
UPDATE (8/18/13): Alpha Version 3.8
This update is relatively unexciting, unfortunately. Mostly just functional stuff. Never fear, though, next update will include a crop of new animations and ideally some more storyline content.
The Neoteny trait is now in the game. Currently only the Kittengirl is included, and none of her sex animations are included yet and she has only one hairstyle/no facial feature variation yet (other monster types can get the Neoteny trait but it has no effect). Players start with Neoteny unlocked in this version for testing purposes (though it doesn't show up on the unlocked traits menu). The options menu also isn't implemented yet, so it won't be possible to turn off Neoteny until the update next Sunday. Mostly I just want to see if there are any serious bugs with Neoteny.
As an additional bug fix, the consumable store finally allows you access to consumables from every monster type from the beginning.
Features that should make it in by either the 8/25/13 update or the 9/1/13 update:
- Options menu
- Last Holstaurus animations (finally)
- Kittengirl sex animations
- Vealtaurus, Chicky (no animations yet)
- Male/Male animations
- Significant gameplay tweaking
- Demons (also finally)
Can't open the monster shop now.
ReplyDeleteSame problem. Can't access the monster shop, nor can I access the item shop to buy (sell is still accessible).
DeleteMe to.
DeleteYou mean 9/1/13.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for something bigger, but this will do. Good to see you still churning out content at least.
Agreed! But the shop don't open... :-(
Deleteyea the monster shop cant be opened for me either
ReplyDeleteI'm that guy ^ :^D
ReplyDeleteAlso the consumable shop doesnt have a menu for buying things.
I wanted to try the new version, but when I started the game (after the dialogs) I can't buy monsters. Clicking the monster shop does nothing at all. Hovering still makes it pop out a bit, but clicking does nothing. The same happend after reloading the game and starting another new game (twice). That is definitly a game breaking bug.
ReplyDeleteMonster shop won't open. lol
ReplyDeleteopen up shop
ReplyDeletesame problem with the shop
ReplyDeleteFix the shop
ReplyDeletebuy item is wont open open for buy monster wont open
ReplyDeleteOpen upp the shopp goddamit =D
ReplyDeletemonster shop wont open can you please fix this
ReplyDeleteUnplayable due to not been able to open monster shop. Please HOTFIX asap. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteBack to the old version.
ReplyDeleteplease fix it monster shop is down needs coding repaired
ReplyDeleteGlad to see some progress, been holding my breath for a long time now, can't wait to see the male/male animations.
ReplyDeleteAt least test your release before releasing...
ReplyDeletedemons? based on the donations we the players dont want them now we want other stuff first
ReplyDeleteDemons were something he promised would be in the game. It actually was one of the highest on the list before one of the updates a while back. He said he would put them in as the third male monster, however due to complications (which were never explained) they didn't make it into the update and have been put off for a while. I believe they were scheduled for the update right after the one that introduced Butt Stallions. Either way, he put them off, which was a shame because I was really looking forward to them.
DeleteI am glad that he is finally going to be putting them in soon.
a simple fix he says. gotta wait like 8 hours for it though
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to having futa?
ReplyDeleteHbomb! What is your fascination with setting deadlines for yourself? Rofl... Just do the best you decide you can/want to. Along the way, just let us know when really cool/uncool shit happens. Stop putting yourself under that whip, mate. You really don't belong there.
ReplyDeletePLease stop giving yourself so less time for working on updates, every month something new would be great!
ReplyDeleteI don't think he gets a choice...
DeleteMonster shop isn't opening in Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Opera Next. And consumable shop' sell functions work but buy section isn't even opening.
ReplyDeleteWhen will the shop be open? :<
ReplyDeleteShop is open now!
DeleteYou might wanna get some help on this game, man. Would smoothen things for you and for us, because this long-awaited update is.. practically nothing.
ReplyDeleteThis update is almost all back-end stuff, facilitating the updates that are going to come next. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the next update (fingers crossed, of course, because I'm counting on things going wrong).
DeleteWell, we might complain, but we'll all still be here. Good luck!
DeleteCan not purchase Monsters to start game in v3.8
ReplyDeleteat the breeding menu I want to breed the monster with the player, if I select the monster and "someone with incest" and then the monster with itself the breeding menu says INCEST if I select it in any other conditions (no incest was written just before the player-monster) it doesnt says incest
ReplyDeletewas it understandable? I really tried to write it in an easy way. :)
Are you trying to say that the incest warning stays there when you switch from an incestuous pairing to breeding the monster with itself?
Deleteyup, I was trying to say that :)
DeleteIf changeling trait is present no monster is born. :S
ReplyDeleteI have had the same problem.
DeleteYes, even when animation for pregnancy success and changeling trait on either parent, no offspring results.
Deletehe monster shop in the downloaded version does not work for me :(
ReplyDeleteSorry for the monster post, skip to the bottom for TL;DR if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteTo clarify for the guy a few posts above me: Yes, switching from an incestuous pairing to breeding the monster with itself retains the incest warning. Ex: dickwolves, Alpha and Beta, are bros; selecting Alpha and then Beta puts the incest warning next to the 'Breed' button; selecting Beta after that (now it's Beta x Beta) keeps the incest warning next to the 'Breed' button.
I understand that the kittengirl is in super alpha stage right now, and I'm not trying to harp on anything here, but does she appear unusually large to anyone else? Compared to the catgirl, most of her features are the same size (head, legs, furry bits) or larger (ears, face, tail). I'm not sure how animations are handled, or if there's a scaling function in your 'toolbelt of coding powers,' but would it be possible to reduce the size of her entire sprite 10-15%? Rather, curious what both you and the other players think of her sprite. Thought it might be good to bring it up before any further animation work happens, spare the future grief.
The new breeding pen menu (I waited until the current patch to see it) is interesting. Some suggestions that you're obviously free to ignore (most of these are probably back-end problematic):
-Not sure how you're storing monster data, though it looks like a giant linked list; separate linked lists would make the breeding pit more friendly for users, though the back-end fix on that is probably 40 or so lines of extra code.
-Instead of tabs, checkboxes for monster types? On the left side you have tabs for All, Dickwolves, Catgirls, etc. But switching to checkboxes to include one or more monster types would be convenient. The list size can already hold 10 monsters, so being able to look at (ex:) both dickwolves and harpies without other monsters would be great.
Since I've started following your game quite some time ago, I've been continually impressed. May you keep up the great work at your discretion; I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
TL;DR :
1: Exactly what you thought about the incest warning above.
2: Kittengirl sprite too large, anyone think is should be a little smaller?
3: I am a lazy programmer, ignore my suggestions on database handling in the spirit of laziness~
Always: Impressive work, Hartista.
Thanks :)
DeleteI intentionally scaled up the Kittengirl sprite because her body is very small and when displayed proportionally to the other monsters it's tough to see details. I do notice that this looks strange in the kennel, though, where you see kittengirls next to catgirls. Honestly I could probably stand to scale up all the female monsters a bit wherever they aren't displayed directly next to the male monsters. Probably something I'll look into more as I clean up the UI and the pens (which are all pretty ugly currently).
Looking like a good start. I am excited about seeing neoteny finally making it in (in a limited manner, for now) and eagerly awaiting more neotenous creatures and (DEFINITELY) sex animations. I prefer not to think about how desperately I want to see that kittengirl getting copulated with and ejaculated on/in. I just as eagerly await the sight of two kittengirls hungrily slurping each other's pussies.
ReplyDeleteI want the vealtaurus and chicky fully implemented poste-haste, but also hope i have a little time to recover and rehydrate from the prolonged wankfest I expect the kittengirl animations to inspire.
I thought futa moved ahead of male/male?
ReplyDeleteInteresting bug:
ReplyDeleteGot my character pregnant by a dickwolf, but when she was due to give birth (on hitting "Yes" on the home "Would you like to sleep?" menu) instead of progressing to the next day, the time and date *numbers* stay the same and the time of day overlay (darker screen) stays as it is, but it does actually reset the monsters daily breeding/harvesting/feeding count and if you take any action the game actually progresses normally (i.e. the day does actually pass, but the screen doesn't *show* that it has.) Also, the new dickwolf my character was supposed to give birth to did not show up.
Sorry... Not sure if the downloadable swf file from LoK wasn't updated as quickly as the blog, but I thought that I had hotfix 2 and didn't realize that it should have already fixed the problem.
DeleteNot sure if this is a bug or deliberate, so I will ask here: I have a client who wants a catgirl with a minimum dexterity (no other requirements), but when I try to sell my kittengirl, it says she doesn't meet the requirements. She has a high enough stat, so is this a bug, or do you intend creatures with neoteny to count as completely seperate things for client sales purposes?
ReplyDeleteGreat work Hartista!
ReplyDeleteIt kinda sucks with the updates coming in slowly but you've done an awesome job. Demons sound cool, can't wait for that next update.
can't find any monsters with neotany trait.
ReplyDeleteam I missing something?
Was just testing and it seem there is a slight bug when you get a pregnancy with a parent with both neotany and changeling trait.
ReplyDeleteThe children windows doesnt appear and the resulting child is never added.
Anyway... Keep up the good work guys !
It seems to be a problem with the changeling trait. I get the same issue when breeding a no-trait dickwolf with a changeling harpy. The animation plays, but no child.
DeleteI hope we get the choice of playing a male character soon. I personally would like a personal harem of harpys. =3
ReplyDeleteWanna point out that making a Catgirl obtain Neoteny via Human Intellect Trait does nothing.
ReplyDeleteAlso to whoever earlier mentioned not being able to get Neoteny; got mine from a Kittengirl on sale on the shop after waiting a few days and/or restocking.
Human Intellect is a bit of an strange idea for a breeding game to begin with. The idea that you can acquire genetic traits by being smart is kind of crazy. Not that I don't like it, it just always struck me as odd.
DeleteIf a monster where to acquire a genetic trait that influences looks after it's already fully-developed, then it shouldn't affect the appearance of the monster, but should be able to affect its progeny. (Though, to stay consistent, a monster that acquires Albino through Human Intellect should also not be subject to any changes.)
There's also an argument to be made that Human Intellect should only be applicable to certain traits, too. Things like Greased Lightning could be flagged as "learnable" traits while Albino and Neoteny could be "unlearnable".
As an option, you could make a galllery of the animations.
ReplyDeleteor make better quality of grafict, add xray or interacktive gameplay when you can go the sex by click for better succeed breed...many many other ! I like my self do the jobs not just watch animation, there so much potential on this game but who know its can fail.
Deletehy guys, i dont know if im the only one, but at some point at the game my monsters wont breed any longer. even though the animation indicates it, there are no "babies".
ReplyDeletea few have mentioned this above
DeleteUpdate today?
ReplyDeleteHe updates late at night for us europeans. We'll just have to wait patiently with dick in hand.
ReplyDeletebirthing animations would be nice ^.^
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's been brought up, but it seems that if a female has changeling, it'll never give birth.
ReplyDeleteSo far, four months in, even using saving and reloading, I have yet to have a female changeling give birth. It's about to lose me the game as well, since I need a really high-stat'd No Downsides Changeling Not-Catgirl for my Gold client.
Does the incest calculations go back to grandparents as well?
ReplyDeleteIt's not flagged as incest in the menu, but I have a couple monsters that are related via grandparents that produce Herp-Derp offspring.
I love this game, I breed my character more than my animals XD
ReplyDeletewhere is the new update? looking forward!
ReplyDeleteno update?
ReplyDeletenormally around 11pm his time....i believe he is pst
ReplyDelete><>
ReplyDeletedont worry you been scammed !
ReplyDeleteUPDATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
ReplyDeleteany second now..
ReplyDeleteDamn it damn it damn it, looks like another week of waiting.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounded so good too...
im givin it till 12am pst, otherwise ill just move to another game
ReplyDeletethat impatient for updates.... he did give 2 dates either the 25th or the 1st of next month
Deleteits not impatient when hes not exactly known for keepin on time
DeleteAnd his most recent updates haven't been all that massive. They've been more like slight patches and bugfixes not actual content updates.
DeleteOnly one word... Disappointed... Other words were unprintable, fufufufufufufufufufufuuuu
ReplyDeleteHarista you should at least give minor updates between your set update dates to notify us on whats been complete and what your working on.
ReplyDeleteWow so many raging about updates, and here I thought I was impatient. Keep up the good work Hartista...if you ever get to read this. Looking forward to the next update on 9/1/2013 or earlier...maybe even later? I kid of course ;).
ReplyDeleteI take it you haven't been following this game that long? He misses A LOT of updates, and it's not even that he misses it it's that most of the time he just goes dead and doesn't communicate with anyone.
DeleteI have been following for a long time now. I just hold him to his deadlines. Somethings take longer than expected. This is a free game after all. Hartista will give us news that is important only if there is any news. If we don't hear anything be patient it will come eventually.
DeleteAs I can't complain to anyone else (coworkers, family, bartenders), I'll just leave this here...
ReplyDelete"My porn game was late, and now I feel bad"
Dude, that hurts. Don't you consider us your family? I feel so betrayed.
DeleteI do now. Be glad that I have the 'Gentle' talent. You know... so I don't hurt you... WITH MY LOVE.
DeleteGod'damnit. I've worn out the warranty on my browser's refresh button.
DeleteJust do what I've been doing, play solitaire and browse /d/. It's shocking how well that whiles away the time.
Delete"Play solitaire and browse /d/". wasn't your intention, but that is now my new favorite code word for fapping.
DeleteFor when I want the "/d/"
That awkward moment when you realize someone's trying to sneakily have a conversation with themselves.
ReplyDeleteHartista? You there man?
ReplyDeleteWell so much for the deadline....again...
ReplyDeletein the changelin traith the pregnancy is broken , god job great game.
ReplyDeleteFeatures that should make it in by either the 8/25/13 update or the 9/1/13 update
ReplyDelete9/1/13 idiots read ...
Well if you do actually read what he wrote:
ReplyDelete"Features that should make it in by either the 8/25/13 update or the 9/1/13 update"
It implies that there will be two updates, one on each above date. I'm not raging, but I was super excited. I look forward to perhaps hearing some news later today!
Whatever, I have nothing better to do for the next week so I can wait lol
ReplyDeleteit says OR
ReplyDelete" so it won't be possible to turn off Neoteny until the update next Sunday." yesterday was that sunday
ReplyDeleteIt says "either the 8/25/13 update or the 9/1/13 update". "either" implying that both updates were going to happen and the changes would be spread between them.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you guys think it would be ok to demand updates on a regular basis for a free game?
ReplyDeleteBecause Hartista himself says he'll release them on those particular days. Weird, isn't it?
Deletejust chill out and wait sure he gave himself an update-date but its for sure a freegame and he didnt telled you guys to wait for it..just wait and look 1 or 2 times in the day on this blog and you know there is an update or not i think he will tell us in next time whats up..just go out and play with ur friends or get a climax from a reallife porn if you want this game just for this
ReplyDeleteah i forgot to say that there will be on 8/25/13 an update """OR""" on 9/1/13 so stay calm...more time spend in this things more excitement we will get
DeleteOho too much excitement is bad for my blood pressure.
DeleteHartista are you ok?
ReplyDelete(s)he never meets his/her deadlines...so im sure (s)he is okay...just busy and trying to get to a point where (s)he can update with as little issues as possible
DeleteFor thoes who thinks hes still doin this as a scam... He still has donations disabled.
ReplyDeletesure he scam all ready take money and run
DeleteTo anyone with hacking abilities, do it. Let's keep this game going, he can go off and create some new site with 'donations' on another game, just like he already suggested on the forums.
ReplyDeleteDo what? Steal his work, and run into the same real life issues and piss you off for not doing this 9-5 for free? Get over yourself its a hobby game, you expect real results because you gave him enough to super size his drink the next 10 times time he eats take out? There is so many of these games on the market for free, and none of them working that fast, the ones that are make the donation option look like a child's teddy bear hospital. Go buy the crappy Japanese flash games that they sell in English on dlsite.com. They will deliver you crap at a pace you like better for simple exchange of money.
DeleteLack of game updates, eh... That is how development goes at times, things don't always get done on time or 'bugs happen' which slows releases down.
ReplyDeleteLack of game news, fuck... Really ain't that hard to pop over to this site and post a short message saying "Shit happened, not ready to release today, sorry, here's concept art for stuff that might make it next week." as that's all it would take to keep us in the loop and not braying for your blood.
It'd be nice if everyone could just stop bitching and wait.
ReplyDelete8/25 or 9/1 way to read people. You got to wait a week, and he let you know a week ago. You will have to use your pitch forks, and torches on something else this week, you were already forewarned about this might being pushed back an extra week.
ReplyDeleteAlso look at the two hot fix dates. Work was indeed done this week.
ReplyDeleteFound a bug/feature. Trying to sell upwards of 9000 items at once causes the sell screen to fail. No error or freeze, but it won't come up, which means that play through is screwed.
ReplyDelete
