5.7 patch notes
Additions
- Brand new Save system: You can have up to six save files to quick save/load from
- These pages of six save files each can be saved to or loaded from your local computer, so you can ensure that you never lose your saves
- From now on saves will transfer between different versions much more easily
- Save files are now written in JSON and all values in the saves can be edited directly, meaning you can change your save however you'd like (if you can figure out the JSON)
Minor
- Map and Inventory screens are half-implemented and do not work correctly yet
- New Traits are partially implemented
Known Issues
- Sometimes when loading from local files the button says "Save", which is weird... (still loads correctly, though)
- A couple catgirl animations are still broken (they'll be replaced with better animations soon)
The 5.6 patch notes can be found here: http://breedingseasongame.blogspot.com/2015/01/alpha-build-56-for-patrons-and-551.html
Now that the Save system is in the last major system that needs to get finished up are the Items/Harvesting; and then implementation of the new content can commence. There'll definitely be two updates for February; one sooner rather than later that will return a lot of the missing locations/events from earlier versions to the game and have some of the new animations.
EDIT: To clarify some confusion: you click on the empty save file boxes in order to save. The "Load" and "Save" buttons on the page are for importing and exporting saves. I'll fix it to be more intuitive.
EDIT2: Re-uploaded fixed version of 5.7, if you downloaded it before attempt re-downloading it, the save system should work correctly now.
Nice!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll implement other broken stuff until March. ;)
Is something
ReplyDelete¯\_(ツ)_/¯
heres me a patreon an still playing 5.3 XD
Deleteˇ\_( ツ)_/
The save menu does not work for me. I can export and import all 6 'nulls', but there's nothing to click on besides save and load in the menu, and as far as I can tell, no keyboard keys do anything either.
ReplyDeleteI second this issue.
DeleteEither it works and it is very un-intuitive or is borked.
Also I'd recommend changing the save and load buttons to 'export' and 'import' respectively.
DeleteYou just click on the empty save file boxes to save. You have to back out of the menu and go to "Load" in order load instead of save.
DeleteWill attempt to make it more intuitive; changing the buttons to "Export" and "Import" is a good idea.
That fixed it, thanks! Might be able to make a bit of headway on that genealogy software I was thinking about, now that the save file are visible and parsable ♥
DeleteNice! A partial update. Thanks for the new worthless version. Way to accomplish the bare minimum.
ReplyDeletethey got their money from patreon for nothing new
Deleteayy mission complete
Save system doesn't work, flawed version.
ReplyDeleteCan only save, doesn't load.
He forgot to put the button's to actually save your files in methinks.
DeleteI can Export/Import JSON just fine but trying to directly save to the game's Temp is a no go.
Looking into the issue: it's working in my version.
DeleteYou are clicking on the empty files to save, yes?
Also you need to back out of the menu and go to Load in order to load files instead of save them.
Sorry if the set-up is unintuitive; I'll change things to be easier to use based on feedback.
Yes I have clicked nearly every inch of the save menu to no avail.
DeleteThis issue would be easier to diagnose if I could use tab to highlight buttons and whatnot but alas said feature is unavailable. :/
At this point updating it with large buttons that say CLICK ME TO SAVE with programmer art would be a good temporary solution so we could at least use this feature.
Fixing it right now. I'll have it up in about 20 minutes.
DeleteJust uploaded fixed version.
DeleteOkay thanks, also some friendly advice; try saying "in a bit" for anything less than an hour and "in a while" for these kind of hot-fixes. This will prevent the raging masses when the fix/release is not exactly 20 minutes after your post.
DeleteSooooo no new animations? I guess hiring yet another animator (full time this time) doesn't change the fact that we'll still be lucky to get one or two new animations per month. Vanilly is working her ass off and still nothing to show for it? What the hell is going on? There are hundreds upon hundreds of pairings that need to be animated. Unless you guys put out around 10 new ones a month, the list will never be completed...
ReplyDeleteAlso, there's a bug with the flavor text not working when hovering over certain skills. I get a tiny text colored rectangle instead of the full box with text explaining what a trait does. This is true of fertile, geyser, and iron will. The other traits seem to work ok.
There are a LOT of other animations already finished and waiting to be implemented in the game. We'll be dropping a lot of them in all at once.
DeleteGood to know. Vanilly is a huge asset to you're game development, beyond being an animator and artist. Now that S-Purple has pretty much gone silent, she's the only one that interacts with your supporters on the daily. I hope you're compensating her appropriately.
DeleteS-purple is still here and active, but I agree that Vanilly is an enormous asset for the game.
DeleteSpurp is bogged down in the super fun/interesting/rewarding/dramatic task of cutting up art into animatable bits.
DeleteI just dled version 5.6 and I cant use save menu, load menu, inventory, guild building, item building and map.... Also no animations at almost all combinations... only wolf with cat i think...
ReplyDeleteEnergy doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteI can breed the monsters at 0 energy cost.
Same Anno.
DeleteUpdate in the bug:
Any monster with Lightning trait can be breed at 0 energy cost.
So how do we change the breeder's gender?
ReplyDeleteWhen you pick the name below the box to buttons of "enter" and "random" you can choose female or male.(Yeah it's barely visible)
DeleteYeah I'm not seeing it...
DeleteWhat version you are playing? It's a 5.5+ feature.
DeleteIs this the "big end-of-month update," or one of the "two smaller back-to-back updates?" It doesn't really meet either as you defined them back on the 21st.
ReplyDeleteI saw a holstaurus x MALE breeder animation and I'm happy even if it's a bit rough.
DeleteYeah, I'm glad to see more animations.
DeleteMaybe I'll be back in half a year, but this isn't worth my time anymore right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update H-bomb stay awesome.
ReplyDeleteEEEEEE
DeleteOh my~
DeleteYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
DeleteYuck!
DeleteWhat is going on here lol~
DeleteStill got those ugly cat-girls, the new models are just discussing(at least for me)! I just hate hate they're faces, a total boner killer!
ReplyDeleteI think they're "higher quality", but uh... NOT natural. I liked the cartoony style ones.
DeleteNew cats are 10 times better!
DeleteI find there were better and worse looking ones in the old version. Like... some looked way hotter than any of the ones in the current version and then you had some that looked really derpy.
DeleteYou daily reminder to confront the realities of the release with a simple BINGO game.
ReplyDeletehttp://imgur.com/N3biMSn
Jesus Christ, who gives a shit?
DeleteApparently he does? I dunno.
DeleteIt's quite stupid he does.
DeleteOk this has gotten really boring now.
DeleteBINGO MOTHERFUCKERS!
DeleteBingo!
DeleteSo, what did I won? Because it certainly isn't a good build of BS.
From what I can tell who ever made this bingo game has way to much time on their hands.
DeleteAnon at 1:54 PM its sad isn't I'll just call that anon the bingo troll from now on.
DeleteI swear, I could probably compare this act to something an elementary school student would do, but much watered down. Seriously man, go screw yourself.
DeleteBINGO!
DeleteI think I can definitely scratch that "White Knights happily suck HB dick" aaaand... BINGO!
DeleteLiterally more fun that BS at this point.
I like this Bingo, its surprisingly historically accurate. Unfortunately its also most likely to be a very playable one for the future.
DeleteI'm a white knight? e-e I respect your opinion if you don't like the progression on how the game is going, but you're just being an asshole at this point quite honestly. If I hated something, I would not go as great of lengths as that anon did.
DeleteGreat lengths? A simple white background, some text and a simple rectangle grid... That's great lengths?
DeleteHe's still going at this from the wrong direction. Don't upload system updates until they're complete, focus on making your smaller updates animation updates and dialogue updates. When you're sure a system update is ready to go, upload it then. You should focus on getting your supporters the updates that are easier to implement and that they are more curious about first and that you have multiple people working on, so it will be easier to maintain a schedule with them.
ReplyDeleteyes, h-bomb should spend all his time making things look pretty, and ignore people complaining about the non-existant gameplay. No one wants to "play", they just want to watch the livestock screw! /sarcasm
Deleteh-bomb has enough supporters to tide him over with for now, and will gain even move when the game is wokring properly. He is doing this right by getting the gameplay down. Then comes the extras (which are being worked on by other people btw...)
you can drop your sarcasm tag, because what you wrote is exactly right. This is a porn project at the end of the day, and that being the part that draws people in, hasn't been updated in a very long time. I'm not even going to bother with this release myself.
DeleteIf thats all people are interested in, then the blogs and concept art should be good enough for them. Vanilly also does her streams almost daily.
DeleteAs h-bomb said earlier, "There are a LOT of other animations already finished and waiting to be implemented in the game. We'll be dropping a lot of them in all at once." Have some patience. All cat girl scenes are almost done, and it can't take more than a few more weeks.
Please note "a few" weeks, instead of an exact data. http://xkcd.com/1070/
Save system works fine. Just one question: in a save file emale breeder also have properties like "hairtop","hairback","eyes","eyebrows","nose","ears","head","mouth","colorscheme","skintone" e.t.c. I tryed to edit them, but breeder appearance didn't change. I doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteI think it's not implemented yet.
DeleteBreeder appearances don't change, your 'livestock' does.
DeleteI can't click on fulfill : (
ReplyDeleteSecond this. It worked until I loaded a save file.
Delete+1 I could deal with no item shop, guild hall, random events, dialogue ... but not being able to click fulfill just takes away the game :/ This happened when I loaded a file as well.
Deleteid like an explanation on how the new traits and how the preferences work in this update
ReplyDeleteNext time try to search the info in the blog first.
Deletehttp://breedingseasongame.blogspot.com.es/2014/10/status-update.html
the 5.6 one i cant move map wise after talking to roxie
ReplyDeleteMap it's not implemented in the latest versions.
DeleteAfter the version 5.3 HBomb started to rewrite the game so he still have stuff to redo.
Overral i say that to EVERYONE: Play the 5.3 to actually play, it has more features.
5.5+ Is for bug hunting/helping in the game Development.
I like the new letter grading system better than the + and - growth one though XD
DeleteLetter grading system is now broken and makes game pointless.
DeleteSelecting breeder for a breeding slot, then selecting a different monster sometimes spawns a second copy of the breeder in the breeding box
ReplyDeleteAlso, The catgirl on catgirl animation is weird, it has the new face including its hair plus the bodies hair on top of it. Some sort of layering issue.
DeleteWhen fulfilling requests, the traits do not show up on the monster card
Dropped this in the bug thread, but the comment didn't show:
ReplyDeleteThe "fulfill" button on the requests menu doesn't respond to click after a game is loaded from a save. It highlights on mouse-over, but doesn't respond to click.
so the people this month payed 25.000 dollar just to be able to save -.-'
ReplyDeleteKeep sending him money maybe he'll finish a flash game in 3 years from now on. Flashes are expensive all that animation and text and draw stuff, the guy prob needs at least 1.000k to finish it.
ReplyDeletethis is really the slowest working flash game creators i have ever seen
DeleteO'rly? Controversial as it, monthly updates create an illusion of slow progress, because it is barely possible to make something worth playing in one month. And it is not some mild porn-arcade, it is a game based on resource managment, thus in-game balance in a programming sense requires far more mental efforts and logical solutions. Considering the overall experience of developers it is not surprising that progress is not astonishing. In fact, many promissing erotic games have more or less the same speed of development, though BS appears to has the strongest potential in a long run. I'm glad they've summoned mighty and hardworking Vanilly, as Mittsies went full brony. Just wondering why didn't they do it earlier.
DeleteIllusion of slow progress? Are you being serious here?
DeleteIt's been almost 5 months since H decided to rework the core of the game, and what do we have in result? Oh, me just managed to get saves back to working and created a pile of other nonworking stuff?
Resource management, you say? BS had this management prior to H's decision to rework the core. Yes, he did work on skills to change them to what they are now, but the managing mechanics is essentially the same (he didn't reinvent it from the scratch, did he?)
And what about pictures? Which of the pictures, that appeared in his previous post didn't go public before? S had post with same preview even those were one or two month old.
The only satisfying thing (for me, that is) that was shown on the blog lately was diagram from Vanilly. That's it.
If you were downloading a game written in c++, and open gl overlaying 2d images that got the exact same effect, would you complain then?
DeleteI believe they made a mistake by writing the game in flash instead of a almost any other language, but they are definitely putting in that professional level work.
@切開
DeleteActually he did.
I opened the game files by curiosity and compared to version 5.3 the new way mechanics, in special traits, work are completely different. I'm not fan of either, as i'm not fun of flash as a whole.
Spare us the bullshit about resource managment problems. This is simple flash game, not a hadron collider. Speaking about potential and progress rate, take a look at Sim Borthel 2 Revival. It's 10 times more stats to handle, updates are >>daily<<. You barely notice that game is still in development phase. Mechanics works perfectly and new content is being added few times a week. Now look back at BS and tell me that 5 months witout any playable version is typical progress for games of this branch.
DeleteHmm.... You do realize that Sim Borthel 2 Revival is made in RPG Maker with very basic animations?
DeleteWhile BS is made with "no" game engine.... Since you clearly don't know nothing about coding. I will try to explain:
At this point on time is like Hbomb still building his "own RPG maker", read game engine.
Building the ACTUAL program, engine, is the HARDEST part of any development. After the program, read engine, is ready it is easy and fast to add all the events and nice looking things.
So a game made in RPG Maker get updates everyday? So what, you don't even need to know how to code to do a game on that.
I'm not bashing RPG Maker, it's a excellent tool for beginners... but you are just crazy or ignorant, likely the second, to compare both.
Lol as if Flash being slightly harder an engine is any excuse for snail paced development. What kind retard thinks this slow development isn't caused by anything other than Hartista's Laziness. I hope you soon realize how deluded you are WhiteKnight-kun
DeleteWhat kind of retarded who:
DeleteDon't know crap about coding.
Say CREATING a game-engine is "slighly" harder then USING a game-engine.
Don't realize when you USE the game engine you are in the last 50% of the project. While when you CREATE a game-engine you are first 50% of the project.
Don't realize that in the last 50% is where progress can be seen for ignorant to coding people, while in the first 50% the progress can only be seen for people who know how to code AND take the time to "hack" the game.
You can argue how much you want. But you only show how oblivion you are in the topic. For the others you can take my word that the game was being redone and yes there's improvement from version 5.6 to version 5.7. Not the biggest ammount i've seen but it's a good portion.
If you doubt me. Hack the game. Even because coding, at least for guys like this anno, isn't that hard right?
Well maybe if you knew how to write a proper sentence in English i could of understood what you were saying. I'm not even sure if Google translate can fuck up as much as you did right there unless you're translating from Japanese.
DeleteWell, 4:58, you might be right about nothing to be seen during the engine cration but it's more than a year without progress. The tiny steps of progress do not suggest that this project is worked on fulltime.
DeleteI laughed at "with very basic animations" part. So is it problem with engine or with animation? Afaik BS have whole bunch of animators, therefore adding animations shouldn't be a challenge. Would it hurt to attach some new animations to latest version with (not/barely) working save system? Probably it would hurt because apparently there is almost no new animations. I'm aware of streams from Vanily, but why previews from S-purple used to containt art that is 2 months old already?
DeleteAs for game engine issue there's simple answer. Don't do stuff that you have no idea how to handle. Whole idea about writing code again was nothing but madness. Several months and there's still no playable version. Map is missing. Events are missing. Guild is missing. Consumables are missing. And on top of that there's still totaly random, imbalanced, not working letter grades system. Wasn't it supposed to be ready on Halloween? Look at last update - it only restored save system. Even in small update that fixes only single feature there are several bugs and glitches. One must be realy bold to show up on convent with game that is still in ruins and doesn't seem to be geting any better.
Maybe HB shouldn't touch the engine past 5.3? Maybe he could use other tool, more adequate for his skills? If RPG Maker is so easy - why not? Finaly if we he had to write whole engine again, maybe he should hire someone skilled in coding? I guess here comes bullshit about working on code created by others is slower than on own code, so no point in hiring experienced coder. At this point I would like to remind you that HB ensures us about 90% of code being writen again from 0. In this case there's no difference if you personaly create code from 0 or someone skilled creates code from 0. Except that you have to share your money with someone who knows what's he doing.
I'm the annon of 4:58.
DeleteFrom my point of view?
Yes and no.
Yes he may be touching unexplored territory to him. But so what? THAT'S how you learn how to do stuff. In fact if you are doing something without touching unknown territory you are doing it wrong, or at least in a mediocre way.
I have to agree that i wasn't fan of the whole "rewritting the code" idea. But looking at the code before and the code now, YES it was at least a plausible idea to redo it. Why? Because last code was a nightmare to add ANYTHING while the new one have a "modular" approach. What i mean?
BS 5.3 version: Trait script have 583 lines. This single code handle ALL the stats.
BS 5.7 version: Trait script have 121 lines. This code hold the name of the trait and info like: it can stack, ammount of stacks, it can be carried to the children, etc. And the most important part: It keeps the path to the script for the trait effects.
Why it's important this change that made the code more complicated? Later it's easier to create new traits and modify old ones. Instead of having to likely change ALL the traits and scripts that used it, you only need to create/modify a single script.
That's why Iron will, Fertile and Geyser don't have text in the 5,7 version. They are in the trait script, but they don't have their own script with information of what the trait do and the math. You see how this change is imporant? He can create empty information and that don't break the game. Later if a bug happens it will mess a trait, but not the entire game.
That's why even not liking the change i see that it was a good change. And for what i noticed he is doing it with everything in the game. So even if a event he add later break somehow it will break the event, not the entire game. So you can keep playing.
And no RPG maker is limited. I dout that the sex animations we have in BS would be possible in it.
PS: Hbomb still a lot to learn.
DeleteReleasing a fixed version of 5.7 with the name of 5.7? REALLY? NOOOB! At least put 5.7.1 or 5.7-fixed so if ppl don't try to play the old version instead of the new one because they have the EXACT same name.
But so far he is doing a good job.
I'm 5:08
DeleteI have to admit you might have a point about need of rewriting the code. However part about hiring someone to write the code from the very begining stays. Like I said above, when you delete 90% of code it can't hurt to rewrite it all from 0. If you wirte from 0 it's not a problem to hire a guy who have more experience.
I think RPG maker should not have problem with animations like these used in BS. Actualy animations in BS are just pieces of bodies moving / rotating in certain way, then back, then loop. In Sim Brothel every time girl "works" full size images are appearing, therefore simple animation should be possible too. It would be fun to walk with your character from cage to cage and hit Z to provoke a monster xD
I'm the same annon of 4:58
DeleteWhile i do believe he could have hired someone to help, and in fact i remember have read somewhere he did, in programming when you increase the number of person involved in the project you also increase the overall workload.
EG: If a project would take 100 hours to do for a single coder, when you add another one, with "similar" ammount of knowledge the project will, in the best possibilities, take 60 hours to be made. So 60 hours for each guy for a total of 120.
And that is in a team that already know eachother weel and work together well.
Why is that? Because coding is 90% how you put the code/program you "imagine" in your head in the "paper". And since 2 person don't think EXACTLY the same way, the way the imagine of said program change.
So 2 person will have to try to find a common ground, what takes times.
In companies they normally have rules about that. And in the TOP teams of the TOP companies the rate i said, 100/2 = 60, happens. In 99% of the cases the rate is around 100/2 = 70.
Now imagine what would happen if Hbomb decided to make the team bigger. Unless you are suggesting he simply give up in the code part to the more experienced guy, the gain in time wouldn't be that big. In fact it could delay the progress even more, until both start to actually work together.
And about the RPG Maker
I believe these animations are impossible, at least when i last used rpg maker it was.
http://steamcommunity.com/app/220700/discussions/0/864973577940649409/
And rpgmaker was BUILD to be engine of games like old finalfantasy and/or zelda. While in theory you could build anything in that with works around it would take the same ammount of time then to make a engine from scratch.
You remember what i said about the BS code change? It was "possible" to keep going with the last code but the one used now is flat better. The same would be for using RPG maker X making a engine for that.
And yeah i said it's easier/faster to make a game in RPG Maker then making a engine, but you need to take in account what the engine was made for.
Same example could be said to using Unreal engine to make a Medieval Turn based strategy game. It's "possible" but it's SO HARD and i speak that because i tried.
Another point is: RPG maker use Ruby as language.
And that's is a point so important the i will point to one famous game: Minecraft.
Minecraft is made in Java. Java is one somewhat terrible language for games. In fact this fact is strange that you can google "Minecraft written in java" and you will see alot of stuff about the topic.
When Notch was asked why, The answer, although not exactly to that question, was "I find i'm the most productive with that"

Jump at the 15 minutes mark.
I have recently discovered this game and got to say it looks really, really promising. The concept and artstyle is amazing. I really hope this gets past alpha though; quite a few grumpy comments here about how slow it goes. If this starts going towards completion I'll absolutely donate but right now it just seems too risky.
ReplyDeleteif i was you i would come back at Christmas 2017
DeleteI second that. Right now it's not "risky", it would be fucking insane.
DeleteSave you money. There's a whole army of white knights to support project that is dead for 5 months now. If they run low on funds each white knight will gladly sell own kidney to praise HB's heroic achievements in development.
DeleteWhy sell our own kidneys? There's plenty of hobos and orphans with perfectly good organs.
DeleteChildren's organs sell better. It's easy. They Incubate for 9 or so months before harvest, but then you get nice and tender pieces.
DeleteI think people by and large fundamentally misunderstand the definition of the word "patron". A patron is (and here i directly quote...)
ReplyDelete"a person who supports with money, gifts, efforts, or endorsement an artist, writer, museum, cause, charity, institution, special event, or the like"
This is not the same as buying a product. This is not a membership platform for upcoming updates. This is merely showing appreciation for someone who is artistically inclined. That's all. Expecting more is a failure on your part. You most definitely haven't hired on a porn producing art slave.
Patreon is the technological brainchild of this, allowing everyone to become a patron of the arts. If no one supports the artist, the artist either starves or gets a soul crushing day job.
Stop bitching about delays or bugs or incomplete works while the patreon keeps pulling in money. It's supporting the artist to produce their art at their pace.
H bomb gives his updates to patreon members as a courtesy. He doesnt technically owe you guys anything here, as patreon is a donation, not a purchased service.
DeleteTechnically those that donate more do pay for certain things. Custom events, monsters and the like. As one of those people that have donated for such a tier I've communicate with H-Bomb and S-Purple when needed and I'm pretty happy where the game is heading. Progress seems slow, but it's most definitely there.
DeleteRight, we have a misunderstanding here. We should support the artist. But not the animations are an art here. Not the game is an art. The real art here is an ability to easily suck loads of money for nothing. Creating a project that's stuck for almost half a year and having profits from it? A masterpiece! Go support the artist.
Delete"Stop bitching about delays or bugs or incomplete works while the patreon keeps pulling in money. It's supporting the artist to produce their art at their pace"
DeleteIf were going to digress over the definition of words like some fucking little cunts then ill add that Patrons are socially and economically superior to their clients no matter what historical context you're using. Not that i think thats whats actually the case for Patreon patrons but i'm just proving that you're retarded for bring word definitions to try and White Knight for Hartista.
Patronage has always been a two way agreement which benefits both parties The Client owes something in return for the economic support he has been provided, this is not a unilateral agreement. And if the Patron isnt happy with the pace his client is working at he sure fucking does have a say in the matter, especially when no valid reason has been provided.
"H bomb gives his updates to patreon members as a courtesy. He doesnt technically owe you guys anything here, as patreon is a donation, not a purchased service."
ReplyDeleteYeah great sales pitch. If he wants to see the number of patrons drop to 1 (you). And you're a complete fucking moron to think he doesnt owe his patrons something in return for the money they pay him. And i'm so glad i haven't donated, i saw this train wreck from the start and i pity all of you for being suckered into this scam.
Yes, if only we all had your brilliant and inspiring vision, anon.
DeleteHahaha! Yes, why didn't you enlighten us sooner, oh great leader?
DeleteOh wow. Finally someone said something intelligent on this site and for that he gets bitched on by you fucktards-.-
DeleteOh, so intelligent! Very intelligence, much smart! I guess that puts you in the same category?
DeleteAre you memeing as a rebuttal to someone who actually had a differing opinion, then insulting someone else's intelligence while doing so? That's actually a bit hilarious. I'm sure the irony is lost on you as well.
DeleteCongratulating yourself on the wisdom of not contributing, then expressing superiority over those who do is so *weak*. I have nothing against those who don't contribute - not everyone has a means to contribute, nor should it be considered a norm to contribute to something in such early alpha, but to spend time and effort shitting on the idea of contributing has to be the world's most valueless activity.
DeleteWell I contributed for the first few months, probably about 30-40 dollars. Which is way more than this piece of garbage is worth. As a former patron of this scam artist, I think you are all morons for your continued contributions. That is just my opinion. I also think it's a fact. To prove my point, if you wish to rebuttal this, post exactly how much you contributed before explaining how you aren't being scammed. The Patreon started in March 2014, an entire year ago. The game isn't even at the point that it was back then in terms of actual content. The game has been public since January 2013 on the Legend of Krystal forums. So over 2 years of development and you have a game that will be considered vaporware once the few thousand patrons finally give up. I bet in one year from now, development will either be halted or one or more of the other team members will find a better more promising project.
DeleteDo you have actual proof you were a patron?
DeleteI've contributed about $1000, but not because I was purchasing $1000 worth of goods and services. I also give a bunch of money to, and volunteer for, certain groups I believe in. In return I sometimes get a Tshirt or even pizza. If I was paying all that money and volunteering my time specifically for an $8 Tshirt and a few pieces of pizza, I would definitely be a moron, but that's not how these things work. Maybe you just see yourself as a porn consumer, but I support the Breeding Season team because I think it's awesome to have interesting, funny erotic games that try to have something for more people. I would love if BS' success and others like it led the way to a whole new branch of porn. It's just like supporting the career of an artist I like, except it's kind of a team of artists.
Delete"I've contributed about $1000"
DeleteWow, no offense guy but thats really really sad. I can also understand now why you're in such denial. Its no wonder you would refuse to see reason after having put THAT much faith in this project.Honestly its pretty damn retarded of you to waste your money like that on someone who had dubious claims of competance and a poor track record when it came to meeting deadlines. If you saw Hartista as anything but the perfect definition of an "amateur" then you're beyond deluded. It was obvious from the beginning of this games development.
Sorry bud, but being irresponsible with your money is not an admirable trait. You just wasted your money on a guy who doesnt deserve it and will likely never deliver on the project you thought you were funding. Either that or hes going to take as much damn time as he can while the Patron money rolls in and give you piece meal updates for as long as possible.
After having put that much of a stake in a project like this, id be pretty damn mad over the lack of content Hartista has delivered over the past year. I guess some people just don't learn.
Had that one ready eh 9:32?
DeleteOf course he's an amateur! He never represented himself otherwise, and the first time we ever talked (shortly after he started the Patreon) I suggested he was way overbooking himself. I've seen this whole "young ambitious programmer massively underestimates development challenge" thing play out plenty of times, though in a couple other cases I've seen programmers with lots of potential get discouraged and bail out, which has been my primary worry since before he started his Patreon. With the pretty stellar creative team he's got now, though, and the somewhat more modest project goals than he started with in the summer, I think everything's going to be alright in the end, and sooner than I thought. I'm also going to be really interested to see what his next project is and how he approaches it.
DeleteYou can call that denial, but I'm not sure what I'd be denying.
You're denying that this project isnt worth your money or devotion for the amount of work thats actually being put in it. Its clear to everyone with half a brain that Hartista is barely putting any effort in this game relative to the amount of money thats being given to him. Id give a good guess that Hartista works maybe 1-2 days on week on this project given the pace this game has been developing.
DeleteSeriously though, an update after a whole month with nothing but a save system added? What do you think hes been doing this whole time? He sure was working at less that minimum effort thats for damn sure.
People have done amazing things in flash for free, look on youtube,newgrounds and so on. He's taking months to add 2-3 2d simple animations because you guys are filling his pockets. For a guy like him with animators working for him,as he claimed, he should've finished this in a month. Guy's a crook obviously and you still support him.
DeleteSeriously, the world must be full of crooks to people who can't imagine why everything isn't easy and cheap.
DeleteTons of people complete flash projects constantly. Go to newgrounds.com or the kongregate websites. You will see real projects that people completed in a realistic amount of time, maybe with just one or two people. Harista is sacrificing reputation for cash. Which is so weird. People work full time jobs and develop projects more complicated than this alone as hobbies. Supporting Harista is like a mother supporting a lazy 30 year old who plays world of warcraft 15 hours a day and takes the trash out occasionally.
DeleteTons of people complete flash projects constantly"
DeleteI agree Tons of people complete flash projects constantly. Complete, not make in a instant and deliver.
The creation time can take from days to years.
"See ppl can do games in DAYS!"
Yes they can. In fact i know a event where the challenge is create a game from 0 in 48 hours with 0 reward.
http://ludumdare.com/
Click in the results for LD31 and there's the BEST games of thousands. You see how they are simple?
On the other side of the coin GTAV Took 5 years for a team of OVER 1000 professionals working on it.
http://www.gamechup.com/gta-5-dev-team-size-more-than-1000-manpower-dependent-on-game-detail/
The point? Yes it's POSSIBLE to build a game in a day. But you SHOULDN'T ask for a good game.
Also you SHOULDN'T ask for a team of what? 6 person make a GTAV in 2 years.
It's no elegant but if you REALLY think they deserve your money? WHY you are even there? i mean the simple fact you enter this blog is already boosting it in the google search and helping with advertisement.
You hate it and you don't believe he will deliver? Cancel the patreon and stop coming here. I mean is simple as that.
I really can only see ppl like you as flat stupid or jealous.
Anon 6:00 PM
DeletePeople complain about Hartista and his work ethic, not so much about the game itself. For every complaint about intransparency and poor development choices you will get positive acknowledgement for the artistic part of the game. SPurp and the various animators have a good amount of content just waiting to be implemented and people are mostly tired of waiting for something new. This huge-ass delay, due to the complete redesign, was unnecessary and could have been resolved more elegantly, especially with that mega huge-ass monthly stipend he gets.
Sure, go tell people to go away or how you think of them as lesser beings but don't act as if you just solved the riddle of the universe, dude.
People are complaining about the lack of updates, EG: "Took a mount to release a save update". Yep anyone that have tried to make a save system know how "simple" it's.
DeleteI find amusing how ppl want new animations without the core of the game being ready. I mean seriously. these ppl realize that when the core of the game is not ready for every animation he puts in it when he makes a big update he will need to reimplement said animations?
I mean seriously go grab a project management 101 all of them will tell you that you need to work your way inside to outside of the project. And sorry to say that to you the animations are the finishing touch. The more you add early in the project, early because he still not finished the core of the game, more work you have to do later to retouch the "finishing" touch.
Are you fucking retarded? the core of the game was ready months ago...This whole decision to rework it is just an excuse to stall production and then he inexplicably gets morons like you to defend him for it. I don't know how you live with yourself when i'm sure you know how much of a tool you are.
DeleteDid you even took the time to open the game files to see how it was and how it is?
DeleteAnd above all if you think the 5.3 version is good enough STOP giving him money. I keep my patreon up because i opened the game files and saw that work has been done.
And if you are not a tool why you are even here? Smart ppl would have stopped coming here months ago when he decided to do the rework and they didn't agree.
Or you have a lame job donated 10 bucks and is now starving? Because for the way you act i don't think you have the skills to have a good job and if you do you are WAY too annoying to be in any position that matter.
Sorry dude. You think you got scammed? pull the patreon, warn ppl you think it's a scan and go home. If you REALLY think you were scammed go to a lawyer.
What are you doing is just wasting your time. Ppl may be more careful if you make a post with arguments of why you think you were scammed and end.
At this point that's how you look like:
http://youtu.be/5IM1p-Tn-jA?t=1m1s
Maybe it's time to state it clear.
DeleteA lot of us are coming here just to check if new version was released, is it time to seek for it at "alternative" sources. Why? Because development here doesn't deserve that 1$. I was considering donation till 5.3. As endless rewriting code begun it started to look like a scum. If you pump HB with money for barely making any progress you will wait for it till Christmas 2017.
Also we come here to laugh at white knights. Thank you for being here, I always like to see how naive people are.
I'm the annon of 9 :46
DeleteJust to make it clear: I spend over 10 hours in BS 5.3. Not because i'm THAT perv, but becase the game have/had solid mechanics and was addictive, if i wanted to just fap i have others/better sources.
That amount of time is more then most of the games i have. In fact it's more than same games i've spend full retail price(60)
I will keep supporting this project because is a game i enjoyed in the 5.3 version. Is it free to play? yes but i find they deserve some money, i have that money and i can encourage them to make this game even better.
I'm glambing with my money? I don't think so. Because the version 5.3 was already worth it. If the later versions they improve the gameplay i will keep supporting the team in their next project. If it ends being bad, Well that was shame they missed a GREAT opportunity.
If may disagree with me and i think that's fine. But don't think you can say, if you did, only negatives stuff about the project and everyone, or at least me, will keep in silence.
And since i have no shame.
"History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people."
PS: You didn't even spend money in the game.
DeleteThe game is FREE. Sorry dude you are a very sad, very salty person who don't have the right to ask or demand ANYTHING since you didn't even donate to the game and don't have the skill to do better so try to bash who can.
Is there a guide anywhere for the stable version?
ReplyDeleteIs there a stable version anywhere?
DeleteThe 5.3 build
DeleteAll I can say is as soon as this system is up and running smoothly we had better see a torrent of new content in the down time that all the other contributors have had.
ReplyDeletePS: I imagine Jake Kaufman has been working on music for the game right? Hearing that he was part of the project was the only thing I really heard about it.
Reading between the lines on the things Vanilly has said, it sounds like the first Feb. update won't have a lot of new creative, but the second will.
DeleteBeen poking at the build and peeking at the behind the scenes numbers. So here's a little guide to the best stats-growth:
ReplyDeleteGrowth stats for offsprings are determined from the two parents' growth stats, the species' affinity to that stat, and some luck.
Currently, elves have the best stat growth potentials because they can be born as both males or females. Meaning, you can breed with the best pairing until you end up with the highest stat growth you can on the elf, make an offspring of a different gender, and breed him/her with the alternate gender's best pairing until you end up with a super-elf. The best elf you could make would have a B in everything except Fer and Cha.
Assumably, consumables, other special species, events and traits will be what lets you reach things like A and S (that or balance patches.)
-----STR-----
Dickwolf + F.Elf
E and E = Chance of D (both offspring)
D and D = Chance of C (Dickwolf offspring. F.Elf D.)
C and D = Chance of B (Dickwolf offspring. F.Elf chance of C.)
B and C = Chance of B (F.Elf offspring. Dickwolf stuck at B.)
B and B = Max
Dickwolf + Anything else
E and E = Dickwolf offspring chance of D
D and E = Dickwolf offspring chance of C, Other chance of D
C and D = Dickwolf offspring chance of B
B and D = Other chance of C
B and C = Max
-----DEX-----
Catgirl + M.Elf
See Dickwolf+F.Elf
Catgirl + Anything else
See Dickwolf+Anything Else
-----STA-----
Stallion + Harpy
E and E = Chance of D
D and D = Chance of C
C and C = Chance of B
B and B = Max
Stallion + F.Elf or Harpy + Demon/M.Elf/Dickwolf
See Dickwolf + F.Elf
Stallion + Anything else / Harpy + anything else
See Dickwolf + Anything else
-----WIL-----
Demon + F.Elf
See Dickwolf + F.Elf
Demon + Anything else
See Dickwolf + Anything else
-----CHA-----
Catgirl/Holstaurus/Harpy + M.Elf
E and E = Chance of D

-----FER-----
Elf + Anything else
E and E = Elf offspring chance of D.
D and E = Other offspring chance of D
D and D = Max
This was really neat. Thanks for sharing. I can't get into the game as much right now, without the game elements and most animations still missing, but will be very interesting in this kind of mechanics detail when this thing becomes playable again.
DeleteI am impressed with your determination to find all that stuff. Unfortunately I have to say... If this system is going to work like that, then it is totaly fucked up. Plus and minues system was clear and simple. Current system looks more like chess.
DeleteI'm still having trouble with saving and loading in 5.7: https://i.imgur.com/pLTjTev.png
ReplyDeleteIn that picture, only "save local," "load local," and the X button are clickable. The rest does not respond to user input. (This screen is the save screen, but the load screen is in the same situation.)
If you are a patreon download the last link he put on patreon site.
DeleteI had the same problems and downloaded the last link and now it's working.
A Shame HBomb released the fixed version with the SAME name.
Ah, the link wasn't showing up in Firefox. It showed up fine in IE, though, thanks
Deletewill the player Breeder stats improve in future updates?
ReplyDeleteactually this is a pretty good question.
DeleteWell, Strength, Stamina and Dexterity would have a use on the Breeder, but not the other stats.
DeleteAlso, I hope that the system as it works right now is broken, because it is way worse than the old system.
The only stats of the partner that matter are Strength for more xp and Dex for less Energyuse. Other Stats have no impact on the partner after all.
Also, you need dex + charisma mainly on a Monster and MAYBE strength and stamina if you want to take less days for leveling.
Kind of sad, so I hope that get's fixed / changed back to the breedingpartner influencing what stats can upgrade upon a levelup. Though, that also means that the breeders usefullness would be highly dependent on it's statmodifiers.
E in everything will be good at the beginning and suck balls after the first month, so yeah...maybe give the ability to feed the Breeder some Harvestables.
It seems to me that the developers spend their workdays like me. Sitting around the office, browsing the internet or curing my hangover while not getting anything done. Every once in a while i do an actual day of work and can deliver a small piece of half assed crap to my superior. Thats ok because he does not understand or care about the stuff i do and i always make sure that my stuff is not the bottleneck for the whole project, but i guess thats not really the case here.
ReplyDeleteI really think you guys should do a week of actual work too, your social media presence or whatever you are doing during your workday can do a week without daytime updates.
Here are the typical official steps for a months worth of development on this project
Delete1. First week. Received a hefty amount of cash for last months "progress update". Formulate a vague yet slightly optimistic thread about future update plans. Promises/deadlines have to sound achievable but also realistically unbelievable for various "reasons".
2. Second week. Let the world turn around.
3. Third week. Optional responses to various concerned blurbs on this board. Can be replaced with an emergency thread if the new thread generated too much heat.
4. Fourth week. Put in a days work for the update and maybe release something. Formulate a new thread for said update and apologize for various "reasons" why there was only so little progress or none at all. Promises of wildly fantastical visions for the future may or may not be addressed.
5. To be continued next month aka 25k later.
300k for approximately 30 real days of work done last year. Judging by the progress, updating this blog took around 30% of the total workload.
DeleteI mean seriously since when is saving such rocket science.
ReplyDeletecreate a class with all the player attributes create subclasses for all subclasses creatures create arrays and variables that plug into the game enigne. Pull amlibrary online for serialisation json is fine but there are more resources for xml and binary serialisation and serialise and deserialise. Cmon this is not more than 1 days work for any dev thatis worth their salt.
too much effort is going into making it backward compatible i think everyone will agree they wont b upset because a file they saved in version 5 does not work for version 7 its an issue you will have in beta because the class will change
I have to disagree. I like the new designs for pretty much all the monsters. (Especially the demons and elves. My favorite thing is having one of the happy faced demons fuck an elf that has permanent boredom face on, or vice verse)
Delete...This was supposed to be a reply to a different comment, what the hell.
DeleteAmazingly, I have worked with otherwise lighting fast devs that spent weeks or months on state saving and restoration. Why were they all such idiots, I wonder?
DeleteBut seriously though, even if BS is enough to allow a simple serialize-deserialize approach*, I don't think it would be implemented in a day, and we don't know how many approaches Hbomb tried that he decided wouldn't work long term.
*No project I've ever worked on has been that simple, but I grant that BS might be.
Nothing is ever simple unless you don't expect it to be simple.
DeleteWill we see male breeder impregnating Roxie? :)
ReplyDeleteYe man, get excited for 2018
Deleteso when will the next build with all the new animations come out?
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you want to ask that?
DeleteYou might end up hurting yourself :P
Forget about the game for a few months, come back look at progress, repeat.
What you see here is a bunch of opinions in this comment section (which people will debate about being completely ignorant) and what people are facing in these builds.
ReplyDeleteStrategy to get more out of this instead of disappointment is look every once a month dating it from the middle of each month so you get the most out of it hopefully
Reading comments is the best part. It's amusing to see how passionate the people hating on this game are. Seeing how hurt and insulted people get because of the people hating one it is entertaining as well.
DeleteIt's so sad. Like people don't have anything better to do.
Anon 12:10 PM
DeleteReally? It's not nearly as much fun as reading the desperate attempts at justification from those moron patrons. Premium comedy right there.
Hey, I said I enjoy both sides.
DeleteBecause apparently, you've got nothing better to do than reading the pointless arguing of people ;)
DeleteWhy arent you Patrons demanding that Hartista change the funding from "monthly" to "per major game update". Its clear that hes taking advantage of this and taking his sweet ass time, so maybe if he actually has an incentive to work at an acceptable pace then maybe he will?
ReplyDeleteSince ive not donated i guess i shouldnt care that much that you idiots are getting fleeced but maybe the idea of this guy making money for doing so little work is kind of pissing me off.
eh, he--and the rest of the team--are still taking time to use learned/trained skills that lots of people here dont want to take up, while complaining about pace despite their lack of experience on the subject (when they can you know, stop funding it at anytime).
Deletepeople can easily:
put your money towards a faster-updating project!
put it towards commissions from folks to cater to their fetishes if they're tired of waiting/complaining about the lack of them here!
put it towards learning the skill and making it themselves (even as a hobby)!
then again, there's no point in complaining about what other people spend their money on--it's theirs, not yours.
Well since you avoided answering the most important part of my post then maybe ill ask it again.
DeleteWhy arent you Patrons demanding that Hartista change the funding from "monthly" to "per major game update".
Theres 0 downsides to this approach and no one would complain when H-bomb decides to take his sweet time as their money only gets taken after hes actually done some work.
Well, I can answer that easily, I give 1$ per month, I can't even buy a lollipop with that money. So I don't freaking care how long it takes, it will be finished when it is, or disappear if it so does. and you might say, hey its not just 1$ its like 24$ if you contributed for the last two years... exactly, 24$ dollars in two years. Nothing!
DeleteAnd for people with a lot more money that I have as a student with a shitty side job that barely manages to pay the house rent and meals. spending 10 bucks a month wont matter either.
And 1 more thing, Don't look at the sum of each monthly cash-in he gets. I'm not giving him/patron/middleman $26K, I'm giving him $1.
@ChadBad
DeleteI've made this argument before, but I'm assuming that most of the Anonymous's here that continue to complain are either former patrons, or have never been patrons, and continue to only see $25,000 a month, rather then the collective $1 from quite a few people.
PBS in America, as well as Wikipedia do the same thing as well. It's called, "drops in a bucket", or, mass "Crowd funding". A thousand people each donating $1 equals $1000. However, for some reason, people expect that to mean something, which is quite absurd. For me, it means, "I put $1 in a pot. The end."
Average video games, among such as Call of Duty, take upwards of $20 Million and at minimum 4 to 6 years to make. If we start from January of this year to December 2015, H-Bomb will make $300,000 +/- and be in his second full year of devolopment, the money total being (again, give or take) $600,000. So, in two years from now, at the end of the "Major videogame" devolopment cycle, he'll have made 1.2 Million. Which, I would then consider obtuse. For now, I've been donating a total of $1 for a whole 9 months, equaling $9. Now, I'm not a major investor- however, if I were to pay him $600,000 for the past two years, then I would demand something a HELLUVA lot better. But, $9 is a damn good price for me to have paid for this game, and I wouldn't change it otherwise.
Now, for godsakes, H-Bomb, if you don't update this blog, then I'll pull my patronage.
Well, to answer the original question. Payment per major update is something that would prevent me from funding any game via patron. Because who decides what a major update is ? Certainly not the patrons. So in the worst case someone could pull several updates and get the Money. And let's say the added content in each of these updates is a lot, then the gamedev could still collect quite a lot of money quickly.
DeleteAnyways, I personally withdrew my patron after this update, as it really was not a major update at all in my opinion.
I don't think that Hartista and Team deserve my financial backing right now, nor the backing of anyone else.
At least not unless he can actually keep all the promises that were made for patrongoals and patronpayments.
Meaning what you get for your patronage and the overall milestonegoals.
If the game ever gets to the same level that 5.3 is at and all those 'already up the sleeve' animations get implemented, then the Team might deserve financial backing again.
Of course this is my opinion and I'm not forcing anyone to share it.
Jason and ChadBad you both make a good point I'm planing to just putting out $1 as it's just easier for me also i'm hoping that H-bomb updates the blog really soon looking at most of these comments are disgusting to read.
Delete@11:55
DeleteActualy you asnwered your question yourself. It's the people who would decide if the update was worth it or maybe a bunch of little unimportant updates was nothing but a scam so they withdraw their support.
The idea IS fresh and reasonable. I don't think devs would agree but that would be a solution.
@Jason, ChadBad, Mr. X
I'm suprised that this time there were no sentence about frying 1 dollar in oil. We could find it in almost every single update thread so I expected to read it here too. Maybe you would like to take a look from the other side? Stop looking at it as 1$ not worth a lolipop. Try to imagine that you get 25k $ each month (yes, i know, less due to taxes, salaries and other shit, whatever). What would you do? Would you WORK HARD only to MAKE IT STOP? Seriously? Any sane man would do anything he could to extend the time where he can harvest money for almost nothing. Of course I would do the same thing! Probably YOU would do the same thing!!
Tha's the problem! You only give 1$, it's worth nothing to you. But all these people giving 1$ every month, no matter if update was crucial or meaningless, make the devs LAZY! You support laziness, therefore you delay whole project. Slow development is fault of people like you! You don't care for little money, but in groups your little money turns into big money and are paid for taking no efforts.
Money should be a reward for making progress. Right now they are paid even for making no progress, being considered as "Like" on facebook. That's why I think the patreon system is a failure, while the idea of Ano 3:12 if reasonable and promising.
Anon at 1:42 so far I've been impressed with the work that H-bomb is doing in fact a lot of progress has been made since I started putting my money into this game.
Delete@anon,1:42: I think i would end up finding a balance, most likely working for about 6-8 hours a day, except weekends and holidays.
DeleteNo one has said that you need to stop once you hit V1.0, there are plenty of monsters and possible events that could still be made, so you could go on creating content until you cant take it anymore.
To the Anon at 1:42pm I guess I wasn't very specific when I made that comment I'm not a patron yet but soon I will be and the game has made so much progress sine the beginning and i'm really glad the game is coming along nicely.
Delete@Anon 1:42
DeleteYou may have a point that it make some Devs lazy. But there's 2 point you are ignoring.
1 He started the game for free before all the patreon stuff. So he MAY get lazy after some point but by start he wasn't.
2 It is probably the best, if not the only, chance he has to break in the gaming industry.
You may be right about him getting lazy. But if he start to fool around, ppl will stop supporting him. So far he has the benefit of the doubt. It will not work next year.
If he is stupid enough to throw it out of the window, while staining his name, for one year of doing nothing. Well i guess 12 dollars, the one year till then, will be well spend for the laughable story.
actually before patreon hartista had a donation system where there were a bunch of options like catgirls or male/male animations or neoteny and whichever had the most donations would get his time, after finishing that he'd work on the next highest donated option
Delete@ Anon 3:47
Delete"You may be right about him getting lazy. But if he start to fool around, ppl will stop supporting him. So far he has the benefit of the doubt. It will not work next year."
That exactly is the problem here. Right now people are NOT withdrawing their support, for half a year of very few progress. And one whole year of payment before reacting in any way ? Ouch. I'm sure you can only say this because you do your math with these 12 dollars. This was not meant as an insult, I simply mean that you perfectly show what
Anon 1:52 said : "Tha's the problem! You only give 1$, it's worth nothing to you. But all these people giving 1$ every month, no matter if update was crucial or meaningless, make the devs LAZY!"
I also think that a different donationsystem is way better than a monthly donation. It may be harder on the dev, as he has no calculated, 'save' income, but from the perspective of a donator / customer / supporter, it's a lot fairer than Patreon.
Scroll down a few more posts to look at the list of patreonpromises that cannot be upheld right now. I think that is a major problem. It destroys the trust in the dev and it actually already is reason enough for me to be VERY cautious of any games that Hartista is working on. Be it his own games, or he simply beeing another coder for someone elses game. For me, his name already is linked with broken promises, missed deadlines, little progress.
In my opinion what would have helped Hartista setting a foot in this industry the msot would be a functional, fun game, developed in a reasonable time and him keeping older versions of the game to show HIS progress as a dev.
Anyone who is thinking of contributing money. Download the latest public release first and understand that this game has been in public development since January 2013.
ReplyDeleteLiterally the only thing different between 5.6 and 5.7 is a barely working save system and it took a month to do.

DeleteHartista is a genius for going Furry instead of bestiality. Furfags are way too generous with their money and never learn when they are being scammed. And then they white knight for the scam artist when he gets called out on his bullshit.

DeleteI mean how can we expect a tool like you to understand the basics of anything?
Yeah yeah, "tool".
DeleteI would say you aren't even a tool. you are too useless to be a tool. You clearly don't know shit about shit.
Constructive criticism:: To avoid the above flaming, I would suggest while doing major reworks/overhauling, to swap back and forth between pumping out animations or other in game changes/progress that are more tangible and the main project. Doing this would appease the fan base in a steady way and help people who are not as patient or unable to understand the actual coding to feel like there is progress as opposed to the current apprehension. Just throwing it out there, I love this project, but I will say myself that it does at times feel like there is not much progress. I believe thats mostly because from a consumer perspective we can't really make much use of many of the recent changes or reworks and the few animation or events that have been incorporated for the fans, are short and not very substantial. So again, I would say putting out short playable and steady tidbits in between would lessen the severity of the flaming that is seen thus after. In summation, love the project and please in the future pace things better, for everyone's sake. Stopping tangible progress completely and working on something that for most of us is behind the scenes and or not obvious = army of human torches. FLAME ON...........or not? Just say no.....

So, for something different right now.
ReplyDeleteCan we get a permanent link to what the stats mean, and what the ratings mean and what each stat does? Since the overhaul, I've been quite confused. What does E mean, what does each stat do, level? I am more confused than Gandalf.
The wiki seems to be down, and everyone seems to know what they're doing, so, please help me too. Where can I read about the game mechanics overhaul?
You should check here on the blog, a post from somewhere around August - Oktober.
ReplyDeleteE pretty much means the lowest possible chance of a statgrowth, when the Mosnter levels up.
E after Strength means that it has a low chacne of it's strength increasing when it levels.
D, C, B, A naturally ahve a higehr chance, or increase by a higher ammount per level up.
Strength increases the ammount of XP the PARTNER of this Monster gains during sex.
Stamina increases how often per day a monster can breed.
Dexterity decreases the ammount of Eenrgy consumed for breeding
Charisma in creases the sellingprice.
I don't quite remember Willpower and Ferocity though.
Anyways, it's a really long post around August - Oktober where everything is described.

DeleteThere it is, the post of October 29th
Just tried the game after a looooong time and man, I finally get why people are so pissed. Almost nothing works in these newer versions. Can't harvest, can't fulfill requests, almost no animations, no item store, almost no npcs, etc.
ReplyDeleteI like this game a lot. I have for a while and I sincerely hope that it will be eventually completed. That being said, development of this game is atrocious... Let run through the patreon milestones first:
ReplyDelete$1,000 goal: Increase the rate of updates - Not met for a long time. We're lucky to get one decent update a month... Really lucky.
$3,000 goal: Full time job - I guess this is met... Now that y'all are clearing >$24,000/month, I sure as shit hope so.
$4,000 goal: Voting system - Not met in any way. Never been met. Is this a joke goal?
$5,000 goal: Hire a third team member - Kind of met. Y'all hired so many animating subs, i don't even know whats going on at this point. Isn't there supposed to be music? Has Mittsies done anything in 6 months? Who knows!
$15,000 goal: Hire a fourth team member - Met in the way that the $5,000 goal should have been met. Vanilly is amazing and y'all should have hired her months ago. She seems motivated and ambitious, two traits missing from the development of this game in a long while.
And now for the woefully unfulfilled pledge benefits:
$1.00 pledge - No issue here. the newest game releases are available to these folks as they come out. Good job.
$10.00 pledge - "In addition to getting early access to the game, you'll also get access to exclusive pin-ups drawn by S-Purple, stand-alone animations made by H-Bomb, comics, small games, and other neat side-projects by the Breeding Season team." In what universe do you feel like this is being met on a monthly basis? There have been 3 pin-ups and one mini-game in 11 months of development... Not a single page of comics. No "neat side-projects." Nothing but preview animations of in-game animations. Shameful.
$30,00 pledges - These poor fuckers... "In addition to the $10 tier, you'll get a spot in the credits as a Contributor." Not once in 11 months have I seen an advertizement or acknowledgment for a $30 contributor in the game. Why are you pledging at this level? I don't understand...
$100.00 pledges - I hope you are keeping track of the months you contribute at this level. It reads to me like you can design a random encounter once a month for donating $100. since there have been 11 months with 5 $100 slots open during each, there are 55 random encounters that need to be included in the game which these pledgers have creative rights. Since the Wintermass random scene is the only random scene in a long-ass time, that is one hell of a back log...
So in summary, get your shit together BS team. You've promised many things nearly a year ago and haven't come even close to fulfilling most of them... Even when this blog got taken down, you still didn't make a dedicated website for the game. Just get it done! Hire someone to make you a fucking webpage. You're too busy making the game to do it, so just have an external party do it for you. Its not like you don't have a hell of a monthly income. What's the holdup?
FFFFFFFF...... This progress pisses me off so much sometimes!
Solid points my good sir, solid points indeed.
