Cruel Serenade: GutterTrash
Cruel Serenade Isn't Over!
Cruel Serenade: GutterTrash » Devlog
Now that GT is at 1.0.0, I've had several comments now along the lines of "Oh, it's done? What about the other boar stuff you hinted at, what about the ongoing story, what about-"
The GAME, Cruel Serenade: GutterTrash is done now (barring little tweaks and bugfixes). The SERIES is not. It's a five-parter (god willing), we've still got three to go!
Just wanted to put that front and center, since there seems to be some confusion. The games continue!

I'm curious about the next chapter, especially with that red glow in a certain character's eyes, indicating that he is not the superior of anything, but rather another pawn in the game.
Oh we've got a lot to go yet story-wise, definitely.
Genuinely excited for the next chapter. I know it won't be any time soon, these things don't come quick, but any kind of rough ETA?
Not for now. Will get into that once the third pack is out here, gallery is in the first game, and a few other things are squared away, which will probably be another month or so. In general terms of how long I expect development to take once started though, probably a little over a year as before.
Agreed, looking forward to the next installment.
Telltale series - Cruel Serenade Chapter 2 is finally done
Now up to Chapter 3 with more horror vibe and new additions to horny and gameplay mechanic
And in Chapter 4 Bunny will have actual corruption that can break his mind without "Forget everything" button, since there will be freaky monsters x)
And finally chapter 5 introduces two paths - broken slut and unbreakable hero (which still can be fucked but heroicly) where you can count how much and which "types of intercourses" you had there (oral, anal, interspecies, parasites, oviposition, etc) :DDD
Lol. Also that is already being tracked: check "status" then "subject stats" in the menu.
i mean, yeah. It sounds silly, but it would be cool in the next chapters to be more... "Unhinged", especially because that RED CREEPY teaser gives that impression. You know, with some "horror" elements maybe and niche/extreme stuff like monsters/tentacles, parasites, oviposition, insects (from you i can struggle even with brainwashing ones), size diff, in-battle gangbang, rimming, watersports, etc.
I usually hate hypnosis, because it's rather annoying then fun, when you just lose control and have to go through stuff with no way to deny it. But you made this breaking stuff not that bad. Would like too see more consequences on ̶"̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶i̶n̶e̶d̶"̶ struggle in the future :)
Definitely no insects, eggs or watersports, but otherwise, in general yes, you may be pleasantly surprised with the theming on the next one.
Media Literacy is still dead I see...
Eh, people miss things sometimes. I've had times where brain no work good too, and to be fair some people might be wandering in fresh off an Itch search.
The complete game is Great as expected! I can't wait to see what other ideas you have in stock for the sequels, you've proved to have quite a creative approach to the Hypnosis.
You're one of the few RPG Maker devs that makes such good storytelling! I can't deny that I'm curious about the whole lore that was not seen in depth.
I forgot to post on the last few updates, but I didn't find any bugs in any of them
Enjoy your break, you deserve it!
Thanks! I've been seeing a lot of speculation about the growing use of generative AI for "assistance" in writing movies/games etc, and while I don't hate AI, this is utterly baffling to me. Writing is the fun part, the easy part! I could sit around making up absurdly deep little settings all day. Why on earth would anyone want "assistance" with that? That's like using AI to help you eat ice cream or slam shots. I can do that just fine on my own thanks (the first anyway, I don't drink, but you get the point).
But regardless, glad you're digging what I've got so far. Hope to have a lot more to show in time.
Agreed! I believe AI should be used to assist on time consuming tasks only to complement the human's job, not replace it. Even more considering that AI is (so far) unable to produce elaborate stories and universes without very delicate manual guiding (that is the responsible for the story itself, not the AI).
I make stories/narratives myself and I would hate to lose that feeling you get when you see your world gaining life. I've extensively used AI since the very first ChatGPT and it's very clear to this day how artificial it is. The structure, the writing, the progression.. I just don't think it will get close to human writing in a while.
Yeah, it's fascinating to play with, but the problem, as cliche as it is, is that it still can't come up with anything NEW. This is something people miss, because it CAN recombine a bunch of things it knows in superficially "new" ways, and yes, part of human creation is drawing on things we've read/seen before. But humans have something AI doesn't: the experience of being alive. The experience of being a person moving through space and time, acting and being acted on, rather that a static database on a server. And whenever we make something it ends up being filtered through that experience, consciously and unconsciously. That's how we make truly NEW things. Talking to an LLM is like talking to Wikipedia, or every SEO "help" article ever written. It's fine as a reference material, but it's never going to look at what it has and put it together in a novel way. It's never going to INVENT. And the problem is that idiots don't understand this, they think the revolution is now, they get caught up in the glitter and go to AI for "generating ideas", which is the worst idea imaginable. Because the result is that you're going to get the most average, predictable, middle-of-the-road narrative, scenarios, characters etc imaginable. It's also kind of dark in another way, because the whole point of art and fiction is for one HUMAN unconscious, which can't communicate via normal speech and writing, to have a way to escape the brain cage and talk to other unconsciousness in other brains. Putting AI in the drivers seat, instead of simply as an assistant, defeats the whole purpose; it's like food with no calories, no taste, and no texture: what's the point?
I think the whole fascination about AI is simply convenience. Sure, it is cool to generate some simple blank story about a topic, but it's not a real production. Real storywriting goes being convenience, because it requires planning and plotting to make it all connected. As far as of now, AI is unable to reach any sort of progression beyond the very basic. Also, its sense of coherency is very lacking.
As you said, AI misses the experience of living. It can't understand and reproduce the sensation of grief, hate, love, like great books out there can. It can try to mimic, but it's so artificial you can't really dig it. Also, for it only bases out of a database, it doesn't generate a writing style. It's the very same descriptive text with way too many dispensable adjectives.
After long testing, I've learned how to cheese and model narrative in chatgpt, Gemini, Llama and a few others, but didn't get anything besides the sameness they make. That's why I'll continue to admire well-written stories and, most importantly, those who make them. I love your writing style and I'm eager to see what you'll pull up in the next games!
Exactly. A lot of people seem to get wrapped up in these grand pronouncements, good or bad about AI, but I tend toward the practical. If it ever reaches a point where it can actually make compelling stuff, maybe I'll re-evaluate (not in the sense that I'd use it, but as a horse beholding a model t), But for now, I'm not particularly worried. I continue to work. And thanks!
pog! i absolutely adore the style and setting of these games and i cant wait to see and support more amazing titles from you!
Thanks!
Waiting for the chapter with blue as the main color.
I like blue. Also great work on both games so far.
Thanks!
My god just thinking that we not even halfway through your sick mind-breaking lil head causes me GREAT joy. I wonder which themes and species will be next, a gang of zebras? Hehehe xD
the excitement to see what's next is crazy, HYPE!!!
Oh there's plenty of fun yet to be had, yes. I just have to pace myself for the marathon.
I get what you mean. Burnout is the worst thing ever!
I can only imagine how warped the MC could be at the end of all of this. Fantastic game and looking forward to the next installment!
Thanks!
Isn't over? I already made this comment before - but this is the best action hypno kink game I've played.
The fact that it's hit 1.0.0 just speaks to your talent and dedication. I am so friggen excited to see where your story goes!
Thanks! I'll try to manage a LITTLE break here, but I am excited to get started a fresh chapter finally.
everyone get ready for
Cruel Serenade THREEEEEEEEEEE
if you need title, location or enemy or route ideas, we'll be here if you ever get a creative block.
Thanks!
your welcome.
The show must go on
