Alright, consider this "Part 1" of the update. I didn't want to make you guys wait any longer, but there's unfortunately a lot of stuff that I wanted to get into this update that I haven't managed to yet. Expect a "Part 2" hotfix by the end of Saturday that should get the sex animation and events that aren't finished yet into the game. Retooling the variations and the colors took much longer than I was expecting, unfortunately, as did working out how the new animations should work and re-factoring of my old spaghetti code. On the upside I do now have a much better idea of how to make things as efficient as possible moving forward.
The update will be up on Patreon in a few minutes for everyone who has pledged at least $1/month.
Additions
- Catgirls and Dickwolves have undergone a visual overhaul, including dozens of new variations
- The Catgirl Kennel and Dickwolf Yard have been remade
- A few NPCs have been redone
Bug Fixes
- Replaced a lot of the compressed images, if you find any that I missed please let me know
- Added a scrollbar back to the lists
Known Issues
- Catgirls and Dickwolves may not inherit or transmit visual features to their offspring correctly, due to the fact that the rest of the monsters haven't been visually updated yet.
- The scrollbar is a little janky looking
- The Catgirl Idle animation is still a WIP, and has a bit of jerky animation/floaty bits
- Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to get around to handling a lot of the bug reports yet, I'll try to address the more pressing ones ASAP
- I temporarily disabled the hover-over in the monster shop due to a bug, I intend to get that working again soon
- Face images in the breeding menu match the old models instead of the new ones
Thanks for the update. Smooth sailing far but I've only really scratched the surface.
ReplyDeleteAlpha as fuck.
ReplyDeletevery beastly , tho a speed up option when its about to cum, should be added. :3
ReplyDeletedickwolf on dickwolf animations coming soon?
ReplyDeleteThe experience seems considerably more streamlined and a lot of my niggles are going away. It's now easy to click the x button on stuff! Now if only the breed button was as consistent. I really do like the new pens, overall stark improvement over the old way. I see it being a potential disappointment if the futa, neo, and feral traits don't have their own modified shadows when those features get released. It doesn't seem that hard for s-purple to crank those out as they come out. It's just 5 outlines per I'm sure that's crazy less work than a new models and such, but if that isn't the intent I'll have a sad :(.
ReplyDeleteThe new art fits very well, and I'm rather sad more of it hasn't got in yet, but that's just a longing for more I suppose. This whole art refit is both rather awesome and kind of a drag. You wont be able to get around to new content for ages at this pace. I wanna go visit kayla and get me some ferals, I want to see how that big ass dragon Purple made interacts with your regular monsters, I wanna see new creatures. All that takes a back seat while the art admittedly improves, but the game play will stagnant a bit.
I think really all the male / female pairings should be done first before same sex ones for the new animations. Due to the majority of people wanting those first I think. Also the fact that you are keeping people informed of the current status and showing signs of progress is much better than before. I honestly don't mind waiting for the extra goodies if you do need that extra time to get it done. But the main thing is to let us know about it.
ReplyDeleteI do have some suggestions however, there should be a highlight upon mouseover similar to the buildings for the chat options to help improve clarity.
Maybe add a way to get a different client for the price of gold, it can be frustrating at times to get impossible clients at times, and this could offer a way out for a price.
Could make the X mark on the client's window a bit more apparent by bring the folded page crease down a bit more or have the x lay on top.
That's all I can say from first impressions of the new release, this has come a long way and cant wait to see what else you come up with.
Thanks for the update. =) I was worried about the new art, but now that I've seen it animated in the game, I have to say it's pretty good.
ReplyDeleteCould you please look into expanding the monster trait list to show more than two traits at a time? The small space is inconvenient. No rush, but if I could get a promise or a reason why you can't, I'll be happy. =)
+1. Quality of life improvements are little things that make a big difference. The 2 traits view is very annoying once you are trait farming.
DeleteGame Version: Alpha 4.5 Part 1
ReplyDeleteMode: Executable
Played on: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits - SP1
Bugs & Issues:
-When you're on the "breeding" section the clock is no visible.
-I agree with others users, the dick on dickwolf look a bit weird, an addon more than a part of itself.
-The fonts in Carpenter's shop need a different colour, too blue, people with colour blindness or other vision problems may have trouble distinguishing them.
Suggestions:
-"Delilah"'s label on conversation need more contrast, a bit hard to read.
-Restock button on monster's shop don't look like a button, I think it need a more visual effect like the buy button.
-Save and Load buttons need a label or something to make it different, may cause confusion.
-Catgirl Yard background is very pink XD.
Questions:
- Did you think on translate the game in future versions? I think a lot of people can help you to translate texts. I don't know if translate a flash game is easy, like an android application or a pain in the ass like Java app.
As for now that is all, until we get the 4.5 Part 2 I can test anymore.
I've a few suggestion, one about the golden client ranch upgrades mentioned on tutorial and another one about a reputation/date system, and as some user I agree with a forum, maybe for patrons, to share ideas, impress, etc. And where u can get some feedback much better than with this comments.
I agree on the save thing. Managed to get some traits to 10 and wanted to save and hit load instead. Everything gone. xD
Deletewhens free version coming out ?
ReplyDelete7th or 8th
DeleteFirst Dickwolf sitting in the yard looks so depressing tha I set him free all the time. Plz, cheer him up, S-purple.
ReplyDeletei just wanted to say i love the look of the new catgirl kennel and dickwolf yard! the style is excellent, so much better than it was. i do agree, though, that i hope neoteny and futa monsters will have different silhouettes, if only slightly different in the case of futa monsters.
ReplyDeletei'd still love for those quests at the monster shop to be implemented! and of course for the dickwolf and catgirl animations (wolf/wolf and catgirl/catgirl too) to be finished, though i understand it's tough to churn stuff out when you're still figuring out how it'll all work.
also the harvesting options and breeding with protag options would be nice to have animated too before moving on to other monsters, just for the sake of completion, but i guess the protag sprite needs to be finished and animated before that can happen
DeleteSuch a delusion:
ReplyDeletei expected that such new animations for the Dickwolf and the Catgirl would be effective even during breeding and harvesting :(
Still...
Love to see its evolution
Noticed that the animation in the breeding scenes are pretty slow. Might be goo to speed them up a bit.
ReplyDeleteAs a fan of the game i whold like to give the idea of making a battle mode in the game,ya know so the stats like strength and such can make more of an affect in the atmosphere,plus keep up the good work guys the game is awasome
ReplyDeleteAny news on hiring a third member? It might help you with keeping your deadlines and such.
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend having 3 different speeds min with a finish for each sex scene. (slow, med, fast, fast with cum animation) They can just be the same animation, just with varying speed choices.
ReplyDeleteI second this, it probobly wouldn't be too much work.
DeleteThis guy is a cheater !!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe once said that he is making a game for himself and now asking for money !!!!
Yes !!!!
DeleteYou are right he is a cheater
Now he is just trying to make money
You guys can find better games for free at legend of krystall fourms!!!!
Like peach tale !
You're just jealous of others' success!! LOL!!!
DeletePeach's Tale is also kinda really terrible.
DeleteYou are just mad that you cant play the update, just be patient man.
DeleteMan making a game is no easy task,it takes time and effort,plus he is not selling the game,just asking for donations,ya know just a easy and simple ´´support the game if ya want´´,so if ya open ya eyes ya would see that this is a very nice and cool pratice,plus many awasome game makers,like gabe from legend of crystal do the same,they are not just some people spending 2 minutes to do something,they are artist making something awasome and time consuming for us,so giving they a penny if ya want is not that bad ya know
ReplyDeleteI am agree with you 100%.!!!
DeleteAnd that's why you too should go and look for a hobby you can support your daily life with!
Deletesorry just correcting myself i was speaking about gabe from legend of queen opala
DeleteThough the Patreon campaign has been undeniably successful, if you work out how many hours it takes to write a game like this solo, I very much doubt that Hbomb is making more than a smidge over minimum wage. Why is he willing to do that? Because he wants to make the game and deliver for the fans. $15,000/month is probably closer to what this is worth for the efforts of two highly-skilled people, but even that wouldn't be excessive. So, we're getting about $7000 a month in donated labor from Hbomb and S-purple.
ReplyDeleteDamn... You must've gotten hold of some killer shit.
DeleteThe Patreon is at just under $8,500, assuming it's an even split, that makes it $4,250 each. Taking out Patreon fees, that's probably around $900 each, per week. That's $900, working self employed, minimal overheads and the simple goal of 'make this game.'
DeleteI don't know about you, but that sounds like pretty fucking sweet deal.
and 10% they should to pay for patreon.com
DeleteI wish you guys would get all the new designs and idles down before bothering with the sex scenes.
ReplyDeleteBut that's probably just because I skip the scenes 99% of the time since I'm just trying to get the little bastards to make babies.
avoid that by using my the rule plan
Deletefirst rule: get fertile 10
second rule: incest is a friend, find the loopholes
third rule: never buy a monster with negative STA or DEX
you can do in the beginning.
Deletejust make sure you outbreed the negative stat on the first two days.
alsp you forgot human intellect 10 and incorrigible 10
