No, that's not a mistake. I am being generous with the public release just this once and skipping straight to 4.6. The reason being, simply, that there's not enough of a difference between 4.5.2 and 4.6 to justify separate public releases due to the weird way the patron releases worked out at the end of last month. That said, because I'm releasing 4.6 early there's only going to be one public release this month. The next public release will not be until June 7th.
4.4.1 -> 4.6 Change Log:
Additions
- Catgirls and Dickwolves have undergone a visual overhaul, including dozens of new variations
- Brand new Catgirl/Dickwolf and Futa Catgirl/Dickwolf sex animations
- The Catgirl Kennel and Dickwolf Yard have been remade
- Small new Catgirl event
- Spiffy new splash screens, new Status menu (unfinished), and some other UI odds and ends
- A few NPCs have been redone
Bug Fixes
- Animation framerate should be increased significantly
- Fixed a number of bugs that were occurring with random Events
- Fixed some UI bugs
- Harvesting animations are now correctly turned off along with other sex animations when disabled in the options menu
- 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 new colors/variations do not correlate to their colors/variations in old animations
- 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.
- Face images in the breeding menu match the old models instead of the new ones
- The Status menu doesn't correctly tell you when you're pregnant/when you're due
- The Albino trait was temporarily disabled
Now, as for the next release: we'll be shooting for a release between the 17th and 19th for patrons. This release will include both male and female elves, new sex animations, and, time permitting, some new gameplay changes/features.
Also, the hunt for an animator is going extremely well. I've been talking with some very promising individuals about filling out the rest of the animations, and with any luck they'll already be contributing animations by the time the next release comes out.
Sounds cool
ReplyDeleteHow about animation for HERP-DERP?
ReplyDeletehow about just no herpderp at all, hows that sound! ... as frustrating as it is, there should be a consequence for inbreeding, lol maybe herpderp's should revert to the old pics and for a truely herpderp situation. lol
DeleteI'm still for multi level HERP-DERP. Derp eyes on lvl 1, derp teeth on lvl2, deformed joints on 3, etc. etc. making the monster more and more incapable of doing things.
Deletemaybe even mutate on higher states and attack other monsters xD Some stats could go through the roof, while others completly wither with declining state. Imagine the herp derp zombie apocalypse \o/
There should be clients that still buy derped monsters, for a very moderate price, of course. eg. for scientific studies and stuff.
I think the new monsters look really good with this new style, kudos to that. One thing that I don't know if others have mentioned, but a lot of the time it's very hard to see the change in stats that show up after breeding. Also, I think the "all picture" style is a little confusing, and I would like to be able to read words with these menus.
ReplyDeleteBut great job! Keep up the good work you two!
Good to hear! I too would like to see new Derp animations....for the Derp Legion!
ReplyDeleteWhen will you add chateau hilard? I want to be able get more extravagant elf juice
ReplyDeleteany idea when the breeding animations for the player and monsters will be updated?
ReplyDeleteBreeder will be in next update.
DeleteBreeder will HOPEFULLY be next update. They are working on it and intending to get it in with or around elves, but considering the number of animations for the breeder I wouldn't hold out for all of them (involving currently updated sprites) to go in right away.
DeleteCan't wait for the breeder. The most important update in my eyes. Elves are cool too, of course.
DeleteYou should add in a code that reverts any new re-skins to the older models.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that very early on in the game, you'll often finish all you can do in a day long before your time runs out. If you then constantly go back and forth between one of your monster buildings and the ranch, you can easily grind out the random monster events. I'm often able to get two new monsters in a day using this method, very quickly filling up to the max 5 per species.
ReplyDeleteI also have to say that I love the new encounters, I think those are a fun new addition to the game. I think this update is a vast improvement over the last one, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next!
ReplyDeleteI Like the interface more than I did before. Also harvesting is actually worth it now. Every time I play this game I try to keep track of how everyone's related to each other. I'd love to see a pedigree system that lays out all the monsters you've owned and who they had kids with. I don't know how much work that would be but I'd really like to see that.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely second the pedigree idea!
DeleteI'd love a dressup feature. There could be a clothier shop in the town for it. The clothes/accessories could give boosts like in RPG's. It might be a hassle to implement, though... (+1 layer of animations)
DeleteWhat I do is generate every new monster's name with the random button then add to it its father's full name.
DeleteEventually, Mauricio Alic Baryram Ryan Ludwig Bondy was born as the first demon to max all stats.
The shemale "fathers" were making the names sound weird though
How about making non-patrons one relase back patrons?
ReplyDeleteFor example - when patrons get version x.9, non-patrons get version x.8.
It wouldn't matter as it is the "patron exclusive" version gets leaked out on other websites with in hours. So prolonging a public version update would have to potential to lead others to essentially pirate their game.
Deletenice!!! as a non-patreon i may donate because you are awesome! keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work (by the, the fact that you guys are just $22 away from 10k on your patreon the last time I checked is just awesome)
ReplyDeleteAlso, you forgot to turn off the futacatgirl on breeder animation. it still plays the old one. I'm not complaining, as I rather like that animation, but I still felt as though I should give you a heads-up anyways
ReplyDeleteKeep the good work!
ReplyDeleteMoar futa!
I just saw S-purple's female demon art, and all I can say is "fuck yeah!" I'm pretty excited to see what's coming down the pike for us all.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the sentiment and share your excitement but... give it time, people will start complaining that she doesn't basically look like a pencil with two beach balls glued to her chest, or just a pencil, which is what they keep seeming to want.
DeleteI could use some more pencils.
DeleteNothing, in fact I use them all the time.
DeleteSame. I'm really excited about that addition. I hope they add decent variety in the demon girls customization despite them simply being a rare monster variant.
DeleteI imagine that if the workflow design goes well, the difficulty of adding variants will drop.
DeleteI have just one please (aside from making elves slim) - make them nude, or at least have variation so at least some are without those stockings and gloves.
ReplyDeleteWoo, can't wait for the male elves!
ReplyDeleteSo here's an idea that's kinda already been proposed, but I'll give it a try myself: Size Variants. Right now, the only variation between monsters is facial structure, hair/fur color, and hair style. While that's all cool and dandy, how about body size variations? Things like height differences, body thickness, breast size, butt size, hip size, belly size, cock size, ball size, balls or no balls... the list could go on. Now I know that would add even more to your (I assume) already hectic and busy workload, but it could be a 'once everything base and whatnot' is finished. It would add much more variation to the game, and would give the impression of actual breeding to the game. Breeders not only breed animals to give them the best 'stats and perks', but they also breed them for appearance. Buyers go for better looking animals, moreover that for their actual performances. If the buyer wants a pink haired elf female with little goin on in the front but a 'party' goin on in the back (if you get what I mean), why the hell not? Would be interesting, and to say the least, would make the game that much more brag worthy. Sorry if this sounds kind of demanding and/or whiny, but just give it a whirl and see what you think. After all, I'm just a hapless consumer, and you're the one who decides what gets sold as the final product. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteAs awesome as this sounds, it'd probably be super hard to do properly without weird sprite stretching and clipping.
DeleteAs well as animating gets fucking difficult when a Dickchihuahua tries humping a Holstaurus giantess...
DeleteI dunno... When I look for "monster" breeding games, I kinda expects some of them to actually be monsters. Not a bunch of humans with semi-monstrous parts glued on. That just makes it look like you ripped the designs from an already-existing thing. I vastly preferred the Demons the way they looked, as well as the Dickwolves, because they were actual monsters. But if everything's going to look so human, there's a million porn games out there doing the exact same thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not bashing the art style. S-Purple does a phenomenal job with their art, and I hope they continue. But like I said, you barely have any right to call this a monster breeding game anymore. It's a matter of time before the Butt Stallions become centaurs or horsemen. I wanted to support it, but... I can't anymore. Good luck with getting what you want, Harista.
Dude, do a bit of research before pulling the plug for a silly reason.
DeleteWhat you have an issue with is pretty much EXACTLY why they're planning to incorporate a Feral Trait, but it's not going to happen for a while. They've stated that several times and there's even a box on the opening menu which is unclickable right now. By all means do what you want with your money, but please try and have a valid reason for your complaints.
The old dickwolf looked less like a monster and more like an actual wolf than the one we have now. And the catgirl got more animal like than the old ones.
DeleteOkay, I admit that I fully overlooked that Feral trait thing. Thanks for not jumping down my throat about it. Sorry 'bout everything.
DeleteAright, no more drama. You don't have to be extreme on everything. That's the one thing you need to sorry about.
DeleteIt's totally fine, it happens. I might have been a bit harsh there, and I apologize for that.
DeleteI guess I'm just getting a bit tired of the few vocal people ripping on the new art direction while having no real foundation for their arguments. And I'm worrying that it's giving H-bomb and S-purple the wrong impression about how the silent majority of their supporters also feel.
It's not about art direction, dude. It's fetish. For maniacs like us indulged in bestiality-or-what, turning all monsters into anthro can be a big-let-down. About that feral variant matter, to be honest, I don't even dare to request such fetish demand to be done judging by the amount of animations left and the things Hartista wants to get on. I guess I gave up that matter, and trying to see bright sides. Like what... those cat girls and pc look so damn cute I can't turn them down.
DeletePlease name one of these millions of games... Seriously though, these are monster girls. It sounds to me you just want female monsters which is not the same thing.
DeleteBefore I forget to pester you again with the one question I state every time you release an update: Futa with balls some day? :3 You could add in a testicle option, in which one can choose what monsters are suppose to have balls, none, or even hyper sized! \o/ or make it a trait: Got Nuts?
ReplyDeleteLoving the new art, keep up the good work Hbomb and S-Purple!
ReplyDeleteI hope the lack of cum scenes with the new animations was just run out of time thing. I find the impregnation stuff a bit of a fetish and finding it missing in all the new stuff is a bit of a letdown, so I removed the new one and went back to the previous version.
ReplyDeleteyes i am of the same opinion
DeleteI don't know if this is a bug or not but the skin colors don't seem to go through when breeding. No matter how hard I try they stay as white as possible. I do love the variations though just wish skin color would work.
ReplyDeleteLast couple updates seem kind of haphazard. Could've taken 4.4, added 'anthro' trait and plugged in new stuff without wrecking everything. I agree with folks who miss old wolves and separate impregnation animation, and switching back and forth between old and new graphics is a bit jarring, too. Hopefully with dedicated animator those will get fixed soon, because right now the game is a lot less of eye candy than 4.4 used to be.
ReplyDeleteThey already have a feral trait planned, adding an Anthro Trait now would just mean more work in the long run. And they can only do so much per update, they're not going to just remove the animations that are already there, but they also have to add the new ones.
DeleteI also fail to see how it got "wrecked" entirely. Yes there are no impregnation animations and swapping back and forth can be a little disorienting, but this game is still in early Alpha with two team members, you can't expect it to be perfect, and to be frank it never HAS been perfect (I mean this in the nicest way, but things earlier than, what was it, 4.2, were rather lacking)
Actually, that's what I meant - why swap non-humanoid monsters for humanoid, then introduce a trait to bring non-humanoids back instead of renaming that trait to add new monsters to already existing ones? And "wrecking everything" means dumping all the old animations. If new monsters were added rather than substituted in, there would be no need to get rid of good artwork. There's not enough of it by far to consider throwing some out.
DeleteAll of the old artwork is getting replaced anyway, so it doesn't matter which way it's done.
DeleteBelly bulges are the best :D
ReplyDeleteI was about to ask a stupid question: "When's the next patron release?" until I noticed that the OP already said: shooting for 17-19th May.
ReplyDeleteNot a real big fan of the new monsters. I think the older models work better for the flow of the game
ReplyDeleteJust because those of us who *like* the new models are probably a lot less likely to speak up, I'm going to go ahead and say that I really like the new models. I'm one of the many who might *prefer* somewhat thinner thighs and bigger breasts, as well as more feral-style DWs and impregnation shots, but the quality of the new art is awesome and I'd be more than happy even if there was no change. If and when they manage to make trait-controlled variations I will be even happier, but I definitely am not wishing to go back to the old art. It was fine, but S-purples' are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThis. The old art isn't bad, but S-Purple's art is way better.
DeleteNot that they have any intention on doing things any different from how they're doing it right now.
I would like the game a whole lot more if they added feral as the default and made "Antro" a trait instead of the other way around.
DeleteIt doesn't matter which way around it's done. Feral or anthro trait, you'll be getting both anyway. Just be patient.
Deleteyea, your just goanna have to do a lot of saving and reloading to make you pass on the feral trait, but it'll be worth it.
DeleteHopefully we get some stomach bulge. On a side note, you should think about making the skin of the Wolf a different color than the fur. Having the whole Wolf just shaded a different color for variation makes it look a bit strange.
ReplyDeleteyes, belly bulge! especially during the ejaculation animations later on. fill em up!
DeleteI see my walk cycles I sent you were too amazing to be even considered. I knew I should have toned it down to make it less intimidatingly phenomenal,as clearly you assumed I'm a Pixar or Dreamworks employee and would demand an outrageously high rate of pay, and there is in no way that this is my ego's way of twisting around rejection.
ReplyDeleteI still love you.
-Squiddy
Proof or never happened.
DeleteThe passive aggression is strong in this one...
DeleteEUREKA everyone, EUREKA!
ReplyDeleteI finally found out how to use the breeding screen:
Instead of the Yellow/Blue button you can use the keyboard "1" or "2" to select the correct 'position'.
Maybe a bit redundant to some of you, but I bet that a lot of people are still messing up at this point.
Thanks, that has been bugging me
DeleteThey are to be included, I got confirmation on that from the man him self on IRC some weeks ago
ReplyDelete69 GET !!
ReplyDeleteI realized that there is a problem with the human intellect trait...
ReplyDeleteIf u get 1 of ur "animals" to overtake any trait from an other one it just works with the strength 1... and even if u overtake the same trait on lv 10 later and it says for example "fertile 10" the effect is just the same as "fertile 1"... the only way to get an higher lv than 1 to work is to breed and the child can have the higher trait than without any problems...
But if it has "fertile 2" than the effect can't go above fertile 2 without breeding further...
I've noticed that as well. I think it's just a way to be able to make it easier to pass along a higher trait. kind of like a sleeper trait or something. If the monster has human intellect 2, its intellect will never be over the level 2. But it can pass on the higher intellect that it gained through breeding. There are more exact words that i just can't remember right now.
DeleteI can not donate, but I would love to help out. If there is ever anything I can help with email me at darius.the.horny.dragon@gmail.com . I will be willing to do anything that i am capable of, so dont be afraid to ask.
ReplyDeleteIt may just be me, but the futa's dicks look really out of place. Like they were not drawn as part of their body. The lines are not the same size at all for one. I think you may want to look into making it look like a part of their body rather than just an attachment.
ReplyDeleteThat's how flash animation works: everything is in pieces, floating about, and made to move when needed. What you're seeing is S-Purple or Harista animating as best they can and still get the new builds out on time. Getting a full-time animator will improve the "frames" and the static bits.
Deletespecially if that animator is Mittsies :D :D :D
DeleteJust wanted to say the new update is great, the new art is wonderful and the catgirl random event was the best event yet!
ReplyDeleteI hear the Patreon money hasn't been transferred yet, which is a little worrying. Nothing distracts from development like wondering if you're going to make rent this month.
ReplyDeleteno money -no new apdates???
DeleteWhere is our payments?
I think the payment processor is taking some time in delivering the money, which might be common for the first time around, like when the bank holds your first deposit. Still, it has to be unnerving for the dev team, who probably have bills to pay.
DeleteFine with me. Just make sure to post some progress on here so we know what's happening.
ReplyDeleteNothing posted for 10 days. No answers to questions too. I hope we here something soon.
ReplyDeleteTheir next scheduled update is slated for the 17-19th timeframe. We'll be hearing something soon.
DeleteHm, It's been over a week since we last saw a life sign of hartista. I hope nothing happened to him.
ReplyDeleteRemember that time for, like, half a year when he just disappeared? I wouldn't worry too much
DeleteI've talked to him recently, he's doing fine.
DeleteCut 'em some slack. They've got a rigorous schedule and 1500 people on their case.
ReplyDeleteNot to be a total buzzkill, but the uploads over at swfchan have already spoiled the money debug code, stat debug code, preg chance debug code. I won't say them here, but I am NOT a patron and I know these codes now. I'm not trying to hurt what business you get here, just mentioning you might want to change the debug codes again.
ReplyDeleteDebug Codes:
ReplyDeleteMoneybags.xxx = add or subtract money
changestat.Namecasesensitive.stat.xxx
Example: changestat.Moot.str.1000
if more than one monster has the same name it will change all monsters with that name's stats at the same time.
ppregrate.1 = increase player pregnancy chance
mpregrate.1 = increase monster pregnancy chance
Something has to be done about the debt payments. The 3rd month, the payment hiked up to 4000 (or plus), and I struggle to make 2000 a month. How long until debt payments be locked at 1000 a month? At this rate, there is no chance in hell I will make it past month 3...
