When will be ready the next release?

I think I'm going to need 3 or 4 months to finish the next release. That's because I need to find a new job and to sort my life out. So, I won't be able to spend too much time with the game.
In the next weeks I'll be programming some minor features as:

- Save game (today I've been studying Renara's post at LoK) -> Done!
- Improving the depth assignation algorithm.
- Melee weapons -> Done!
- Sex skills.
- Sex tables.
- Loot system.
- Status graphic.
- "Sluttyness" assigment function.
- Some H-events that I should have done for the v0.373.

  1. Is there a possibility to Beth to see her naked?
    Good Work!!!!

  2. Suggestion: Perhaps a 'donation' link on this site. With the quality of work you put out I am sure you'd make a dime or two.

    Random: Go crazy to keep from going crazy.

  3. In other words you need to take a break. Also I agree that you should set-up a donate link.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Good luck you there.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Agreed, on both accounts. You're certainly deserving of a break, and I'd wager plenty of people would be willing to throw a few bucks your way to keep the project on a healthy pace. I can't supply money these days, but I'm rather quick-witted and fast to understand computer business. If ya need a hand ever, hit me up.

  6. Good luck on the job front. Can be hard, but even I was able to get a job again only a couple months ago.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Good luck at finding a job. Don't worry too much about the game. Right now just worry about survival. =]

    I'll try and donate if I can (but my dad would kill me if I spent money on anything other than books for school lol)
    But I'll see what I can do. If you do put up a donate button or something =]

    Your fans are here for ya -_^ we love you H Nyarly =P

  8. Well keep up the awesome work. Here's hoping you'll have more time to program than you think you will!

    ReplyDelete
  9. As many here said

    U should put a donate button since there are allot of people tha want to see what comes out of tjis game and most of them should be able to donate if they want to. Good luck on finding a job ;)

  10. I have the elven bracelet thing and I still cant kill the slime boss. he just sits and ranges me... Can anybody help me out and tell me what I'm doing wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  11. donate link will help.

    ReplyDelete
  12. @ anon above me

    First of all you need the magic rune equipped the rune that you get from that qizard guy =]
    Instead of close combat use the magic.
    then go to the slime and make sure you align yourself with it.

    Keep Pressing "x" you will have enough magic to kill it. If not then you can run, restore magic with a potion and come back to finish it off =]

    Thats what I did =]

    hope this helps

    For the momment there is no way to see her nude. There are no features enough to increase "sluttyness" up to the value required to do it.

    ----

    About donation link, I think I shouldn't. I mean, I've been playing Playshapes, Urielmanx7, DirtyC101, Gorepete, Corta and all the LoK people stuff for free. I see my work more as a payback to all this community that let me enjoy those games. So I feel more as if I have a debt with them. Maybe I should donate instead being done. xD

    About taking a break... I don't feel I need it. I mean, I'm doing that as a hobbie. Thus, I enjoy doing it, and I actually doesn't get tired. I love writing AS code as much as drawing. It's more the kind of thing I'd love doing in my free time instead of something annoying I want to escape from.

    If I don't spend more time developing the game, it's not because a need a break. It's because I need to focus in real life priorities.

    Thanks you all for your support.
    :)

  14. could u point me in the right direction to start my own game

  15. Huh... you're having trouble with your life too, huh? I know the feeling. I'm trying to find a job, too... well, although 3 or 4 months is a long time to wait, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work in time! Good luck to you, sir.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Man if you just took a year to fully develop the game, give it 20+ hours of content, and then charged $5 for the download you would make crazy bank. Also on the day of release you set up a few web ads on various sites (probably through ProjectWonderful) to maximize you're exposure.

    There is a hunger for serious mature content in the gaming industry (outside of the lame h-games). The question is who will be smart enough to tap into first?

    There are multiple choices to do your onw game with not needing a huge programming knowledge. For example using RPG maker. Flash is a good tool to start with if you don't want to deal with graphic libraries.
    I also recommend you to check the WIP section of those forums to see what tool fits better your expectations:

    I didn't plan this game to make money. And I'd feel guilty if I demand any money to all the people that have been helping me with their opinions.

    About adult gaming, that fact you pointed doesn't actually happen in Japan. You can see lot of adult game releases each month at dlsite.
    There also are some web/companies that produce flash games, like Hentaikey and Meet'n'fuck.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I know the feeling, haha, I was in the same situation not to long ago myself.

    Just makes you wish for a career in game development all the more -__-

  19. @H Nyarly
    Loving what your doing so far, shame that it will be a while until the next update, hope all goes well with your job hunt! I personally think though that the adult industry belongs in an indy environment however as it wouldnt stand a chance in mainstream society, much like how most things in mainstream society dont stand a chance in the indy scene. Work like yours is a grand example of the labour of love that keeps the indy scene with its own image that mainstream could never steal (and im talking about global mainstream, japan recently have been forced to remove ALOT of games off of its shelves due to damn activists)

    @Sparkychavez
    If your only wanting to make something 2D then id wait as its not worth programming for a 2D environment. I think smaadnet are working on a programming-less engine with some brilliant framerates(ive followed him a couple of weeks now though since he started it so his blog smaadnet-blogspot doesnt really show its glory.) but if not wanting to wait or you think he wont pull through, try multimedia fusion or rpg maker, great with minimal programming knowledge

    @Kyrieru
    Yea, i too tried the game design scene and at first it felt easy, but then it lost is luster and fun and became too hard work (then i joined the everlasting group that keep restarting projects over and over). I just stick to gaming and working and leave the mind bits to everyone else. Some people are making it though, and kudos to them!

    ReplyDelete
  20. right on anon and H Nyarly im currently working through this c++ program and i dont have a clue how to use it hahaha i feel so dumb when i type // my game to
    try and find my game and nothin happens but im totaly clueless so thanx guys

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hello HNYARLY you can upload the game where Beth is naked? Because if that's taking so long with the next version. Since we at least once because what would it! Sorry for the bad English!

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Kyrieru
    Exactly.

    It's funny how western porn industry is so powerful, and make so much money, but it seems totally unable to make worthing porn games.

    And it's the same for western game industry. They are so scared about public opinion that don't dare to do adult games. The closer they were happened with San Andreas and the "Hot Coffee". Rockstar finally decided to lock it for the final version (but luckly it could be unlocked).

    @Anon2
    Well, I'll be thinking about adding another eastern egg to nake her.
    :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. I agree with you 100% Nyarly. real life always has to come first. As far as donating gos if you ask i would but understand why you dont. a hobby is something you do for the joy of doing it. wonce you start asking/taking money for it its not a hobby anymore its a job. you feel you need to do more then you have time stress builds and soon you just dont want to do it at all.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Not to discourage you or something, but the last release pretty much dissapointed me. Maybe it was because I was expecting too much, but be sure; How longer people have to wait, how more they expect and how better it has to be. 3 or 4 months is pretty much, but with some good ordering of time it'll be a piece of cake and you'll still be able to do your social stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Well, ther it goes, real life STRIKES AGAIN *runs to hide under his bed* O_O.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Every indy programmer hits it. The life outside the productive walls shouting at them to work, get money e.t.c. or the worse one ive seen is getting into a commited relationship and all hobbies seem to die (specially if its adult-game industry). Though on a more positive note, ive seen a few people who program full time and dont work, manage to pay staff AND fully support a house on their own... so its definately doable :s

    ReplyDelete
  27. was using CheatEngine to try find the sluttyness stat and raise it but couldnt find the value for it. Managed to find the other stats, but just the sluttyness seemed to be a bother, the only one worth altering sadly....

    ReplyDelete
  28. Lightpino,
    Nyarly said the release was not done yet. it was released early so we had something to play with. Nyarly is still learning how to make the game as well as doing all the code and art. I know from personal exp. the art alone takes alot of time. for one person doing it all this game is moving at rocket speed. if you want loads of new stuff go to a pay site like meet n fuck where thy have a team of people copying there same game and adding new text and art to go with it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Lightpino
    As you pointed, the last update hasn't a big content. But I was a big step in my future work. I mean, I did lot of features that will make my furute updates easier. For example, now I can add trader NPCs very easy, and so defining their items. I can also create female enemies with a minimum effort just changing the value of some variables.
    For example, with all the work I've done until now, I could create a forest or cave zone full of female enemies and NPCs in less than 2 hours.

    @Anon1
    Those people are my heroes.
    xD

    @Anon2
    Armour could also be interesting to set high. So Attack Power too: with a value of 1000 Beth will deal 100 of extra damage to enemies. xD
    :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Sounds like a good idea to me Nyarly. easy/fast way to add abunch of content. make a forest full of amazons trying to capture beth for there queen or something, and a cave full of crazy cavewomen wanting to make beth a offering to there god (whatever that might be).

    as for features for the future. maybe some cut seens for sex acts like in Dragon Bride (can download trial at dlsite of you have not played it) or maybe a few differnt options during the hentai events (like a choice to do bondage event befor leting elf sister go)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I can't help but feel that if you try to put in everything everyone asks for, it's going to take 27 years to build this game! I hope you're prioritising suggestions into "Must include", "Would be nice to include", and "Really stupid idea". ;-)

    And I wouldn't characterise a Donate link as "demanding" money - it's entirely voluntary - but I get that it could change the dynamic of building the game. People will help you if you let them, but if it's going to create a crippling sense of obligation in you, don't do it.

    Anon and on and on

    ReplyDelete
  32. Anon,
    yes Nyarly prioritises what gos in the game. look at the poll for a example. As for me i dont ask for anything i suggust things sometime Nyarly uses them or parts of them sometimes not. if i see something i think Nyarly might like or a easy way to maybe make the game better i post the idea. that is part of what this site is for but it always comes back to what Nyarly wants is what Nyarly makes :OP

    ReplyDelete
  33. someone explain how to find the stats on cheat engine

    ReplyDelete
  34. Just wondering, Nyarly, if you were going to go to reset the 'next update' progress bar so we can see how you're doing amid your real-life issues -- which I do agree should come first (been there myself). Hope you get that new job soon :_)

    ReplyDelete
  35. @Ramses
    I played dragon bride long time ago (actually before I started my game) and I liked it. :)
    And I'll add different options to H-events. For example, depending of the sluttyness, Beth will spit or swallow.

    @Anon and on
    The only things that are included for sure are the ones I love. xD
    The rest will possibily be included if I think they can be done. For example, I can't add shota if I haven't planned a boy in the story. But if he's is in the script, I'll surely do it.

    @Anon2
    Not me... I don't even know how to use it.
    xD

    @AlexM
    I'm not reseting it. I mean, it could be some kind of depressing if it only increases in 5% for a week... So I prefer to see a 100% xD
    And thanks, I'll keep you informed about my job hunting.
    xD

    ReplyDelete
  36. hey nyarl great job on the game so far i was wondering if you were going to add bonuses for the personality you chose in future updates? and good luck with the job hunting :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thanks!
    I'll surelly add more options to the character customization.
    The feature I'd like most to add is the "fetishes" Beth likes.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Dont forget the Gnome X] lol

    All I can think about is that gnome ramming the hell out of Beth. XD can't wait til the game's done =]

    Gnome!!!!! lol

    ReplyDelete
  39. What you have done is a miracle.I know this would be hard for you but please release the new version faster and make that prety elf more involve.Thanx in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  40. >The feature I'd like most to add is the "fetishes" Beth likes.
    Oh, that sounds interesting. Do you mean ones from your poll or something else?

    ReplyDelete
  41. @ anon above me: i believe she means a list of fetishes from which you can choose which fetishes she likes and whilch ones she hates

    ReplyDelete
  42. @Anon1
    Next zone will be forest. The next to that forest will be the town where you'll finally find him.
    :)

    @Araz
    The elf girl si in the city too. And she's waiting for Beth.

    @Anon2
    Not exactly. Long time ago somebody suggest me the idea of letting players tick some fetishes for Beth in the intro menu (maybe selecting 1 or 2 from a list). So Beth could be less reluctant to have this kind of sex.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ahem, sorry for bad english. I just asked which fetishes might be in that list.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Ohoo! I like this fetishes customizer idea! Better start adding fetish tags to the H events!

    I can think of one or two girls I know who would strip at first sight of a lusty tentacle beastie...

    I think it's safe to assume that the choices will be straight from the poll.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I don't exactly know the list. But as Ted said, the poll list could be a good guide.

    ReplyDelete
  46. doing a great job keep it up (^-^)

    ReplyDelete
  47. What about she masturbates when press "A" key while at gnome´s bed ?

    ReplyDelete
  48. the game is great keep up the good work, any idea how long until your next update ?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Thanks!

    About the A button masturbation, it's something I'm not in hurry to do.

    About next update... those days I'm so busy that thoe only thing I was able to do was fixing a minor inventory bug.
    I'm desiring to finish all the real life tasks I have right now to go back to the game's development.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I agree with the masturbation prospect as a repeatable h-event

    ReplyDelete
  51. Me, I'm willing to wait. I agree that real life issues have priority, and I have plenty other things to occupy me. The game is going to be great once it gets done, whenever that will be.

    But yes, Nyarly, keep us up to date on your job search and any other issues you want to air publicly! May all go well in your real world quests!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Is there any chance in the next update to remove the game over when beth get's raped?
    Some suggestions for replacing the game over.
    -1: Beth realizes whats going on and strikes the raping monster away.
    -2: Beth passes out then the Hp meter starts to rise up and the player could decide when to wake her up.
    -3: While the monster is raping beth her Hp raises up till the monster get's board and walks away.
    -4: When beth is starting to get raped you could also make it where the player could press one of these buttons.
    Physical attack: Beth would try to regain her HP then she would attack the monster.
    Sexual interaction: Beth would give in and be rapped till she passes out.
    Magical attack: Only with certain runes beth would use her rune to blast the monster away then rest to regain her HP.

    One more question/ Request
    Any chance of changing either of those not used into rest?
    Beth resting would be use full for these reasons.
    1:Adds a touch of realism.
    (Any one who does a lot of walking would take a rest some times.}
    2:Resting could increase beth's Hp and rune power.
    3:You could probably reuse the beth orgasm sprite from the gnome scene as a template for resting.
    4:It would reduce the cave sleep usage.

    Also yays to all of these updates.
    - Improving the depth assignation algorithm.
    - Melee weapons.
    - "Sluttyness" assigment function.
    - Some H-events that I should have done for the v0.373.

    Also good move on getting these installed good and early.
    - Save game (today I've been studying Renara's post at LoK).
    - Sex skills.
    - Sex tables.

    Intrested in seeing more on this one.
    - Loot system.

    And Oh shiny new graphic.
    - Status graphic.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I thougt the masturbation is a way to increase Beth´s sluttyness. And shoud only works at the bed or other far place.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Yes, I'll remove the slime boss rape game over.
    About how to avoid the game over, point 2 sounds good, but I'd prefer her to wake up in another place (like with the rats), but I have no idea of how or who carries her there.

    I've also decided to add a new stat called "mind", starting at 100. Every time she suffers an unpleasant sex encounter, this stat is reduced depending of how unplesant it was. It increases each time she helps people doing quest.
    When "mind" goes below 50, Beth acquires a new fetish (depending of the kind of rape she had suffered most).
    "Mind" equal to 0 is a game over.

    ReplyDelete
  55. You could have it where the monster dumpers her off there. Then says some thing like one of these lines.
    1: Hope to see you latter.
    2: That was fun now get lost!
    3: Random quote based on monster.

    Hope this helps you out.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think there should be a "quest log" so we can keep track of all the quests in case we forget what to do next.

    and also

    I Gnome can't Gnome wait Gnome for the Gnome next Gnome update Gnome I am so excited!! LOL <333

    Keep up the awesome work H Nyarly!! =]

    ReplyDelete
  57. you will ad cheats?
    because every good game need cheats.

    ReplyDelete
  58. About slime. How about non-linearity in this quest? Slime rapes Beth, forgets about sister of that girl and happily goes away, so we can save her. Everyone is happy. Except Beth.

    About "mind". Not sure if like it. Maybe it's better to reduce other existing stat, attack for example?

    ReplyDelete
  59. I, for one, am against any type of GAME OVER that is caused by sexual encounters. Namely because this is an H-Game.

    If you do decide to add the mind in the way you described, I suggest you also add an autosave function that saves your game every time you complete a quest in a special autosave slot. This would alleviate frustration.

    Oh, also, multiple save slots would be nice! =]

    ReplyDelete
  60. Here's some ideas for who to save beth and where she ends up after the slime boss. Use as you wish

    a) Sales elf saves her, she ends up back where the sales elf is standing. He suggests a sexual favor in return (given the slime scene, favor could be a blow job). If she does, big reduction in wares price.

    b) Gnome save her, she ends up back at the cave or his house at the town (once you make it). Same favor in return as above.

    c) Old one (is that a man or woman?) she finds mushrooms for save her. She ends up at the house to the west (again, once you make that area).

    My favorite is the first, because we get another H-event (yay!), and you won't have to make a new area for it. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  61. @Anom1
    I like your suggestions for a future monster. But I can't use them with the slime because it can't speak.

    @Anon2
    "Quest log" sounds great. Even better if I could implement some kind of Beth's diary, where she writes what's happening.

    And you'll have to wait 2 updates to find the town where the gnome is right now. In the next update you'll find mage's house.

    @Silver6
    Cheats? Maybe... I haven't decided it yet. I mean, I use them for testing, but I'm not sure they are really necessary.
    Actually, Beth will be able to use sex to make quest in a easier way, so basically she'll be cheating. Don't you think so? xD

    @Milten
    That idea sounds great. I could add it. I mean, it fits my idea of "sex making quests easier".
    :)

    @Ted
    I agree with you. That's why I don't want slime boss rape to be a game over in the next update.

    About auto-save, I don't like it too much, because it's out of player control. I prefer to add a lot of save slots. xD

    @AlexM
    a) I have another plans for the male elf. He basically prefers pretty elven girls to regular human girls. So, if Beth wants him to desire her, she'd need to increase her seduction (maybe up to 20).

    b) The gnome is unavailable for the momment, until Beth arrives to the towm.

    c) This option would need the passage to be opened before.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Well for the current slim monster it could dump her off then it could show the slim monster leaving.

    ReplyDelete
  63. wow , I can't wait to see the full released version of this game, its just getting more awesome each update that comes, good luck with your life tasks and keep up the nice job :D !

  64. I don´t have any idea of how to find the easter egg. Any tip please ??

    ReplyDelete
  65. Hmm. sence we talked about all the end game stuff like 3 posts ago i already know your plans somewhat. as for mind stat as a way to learn new fetishes .. Love the idea sound like fun.
