Scene Guide

Aw, thanks! Yeah, that was an important consideration for me: the fun of these games is the interactivity, not just in clicking a button to advance or choosing a choice from a menu like in a visual novel, but actually piloting the main character in a meaningful way. It was important to me that it was always theoretically possible to play the game "right," because that meant if Mezz did come to "harm" you had no one to blame but yourself. It puts the player in the same shoes as Mezz: he should really be staying pure and heroic, but that temptation is always dragging him in a different direction. I also kind of enjoy the meta nature of the clips in that respect: Mezz technically CAN'T take them off, because he doesn't know they're there, but YOU can, as all-knowing Game Player, and spare him a bit, if you want.

And yeah, in an ideal world I'd have some graphics for both the normal end and the intro, but graphics/illustrations are the hardest part of this for me, so I have to stick to the high-priority stuff, the battles and the big scenes that need them.

Also, I'm sure you're not the first, but I'm still humbled that people are playing through my silly little game three times (or more!) Thanks.

Aw thanks!

No, not bugged, at least as far as I'm aware. Losing to the boss in normal mode but not "giving in" results you eventually ending up back at the start.

It is, although it is pretty difficult. Also, don't make the mistake another poor soul did recently: remove the ear clips first.

This is a tough thing to tackle, more tough than I think people realize. I definitely agree that some more enemy variety would be nice, and there will a few more in the next chapter. That said, there's a kind of tug-of-war between number of enemies and the depth of the art assets involved, since time is limited. A traditional small RPGMaker project might have a bunch of enemies, but all that's required for them is one static sprite. They also often lean heavily on pre-made stuff. I can't do that: everything has to be made fresh. Which means every enemy needs:

-A battle sprite

-A walking sprite

-Face cut-ins

-Battle sex sprites specific to them

A lot of sex rpgs handle this by either having only one sex sprite per enemy type or by having every sex sprite be generic, and thus usable by any enemy. I can't do the first, since my theming tends to a small handful of new enemies per chapter. I could do the second, but there would end up being a lot of repeated and samey battle sex. This would also mean that doing slightly different control mechanics for each chapter would have to be thrown out.

Ultimately, I can have a lot of enemies with fairly similar sex moves and mechanics across all the chapters, or I can have just a couple in each, but with some depth and variety to their sex and hypno mechanics. Considering the kind of game this is, I've opted for the second so far. All that said, I do aim to have two different enemy types (actual, not just palate swaps) on launch with the next chapter, and potentially a third eventually.

No hablo español, así que lo siento si esto está un poco apagado. Después de derrotar a los jabalíes de la entrada, y a los del almacén, vuelve a salir y derrota a los jabalíes de la derecha. Uno de ellos tiene una llave. Si Mezz dice algo después de ganar, sabrás que has encontrado el jabalí correcto. Entonces coge esa llave y abre la puerta de la izquierda (botón de acción).

Thanks! No, just this account here and FA if you're old school.
