Hi buddy!

Finally someone started looking for references and easter eggs :D. Yes, there are already some in the game and there will be many, but they will not be some kind of plagiarism or salad that will ruin the atmosphere of the game.

Greasers, pin up is a general reference to the subculture of those years. The game takes place around the 50s-60s, but there are also elements of the 20s-30s (noir, etc.).

I was inspired by sitcoms and films of the "Golden Age of Old Hollywood" but without open parodies of existing works. For example, I really named Rocky after the character Rocky Balboa. But my character has a different last name and so it's just a name. In fact, even now there are more references in the game. If you are interested, you can find them. The game will be really long, so at the moment you have only seen the very beginning. In 0.7.0, the gameplay has changed and the linear passage ends after Rocky wakes up on the second morning in Martha's house. After waking up, the player starts a free game. This game is built in a cartoon-comedy style with the most stereotypical characters and everything else.

The combat system will be quite difficult to develop but interesting for the player. Everything as we like: beautiful, neat, not too difficult, unobtrusive, graphic. Unfortunately, in 0.7.0 we most likely will not have time to do this, so the combat system will be in 0.8.0.

Thanks for the great comment, buddy.

P.S.

If you find more references and easter eggs, please let us know).

I get ya, kind of figured as much on the last name. I just finished the game, that's completed so far.  I'll be sure to let you know if I find more references. From current or update versions. 

(spoiler) below

Assuming you meant Roxy? on the second morning?  coincidently I was honestly just thinking like two days ago. Why no one ever does any adult games.  With stories where a (heterosexual) dude turns into a chick/futa.  Such a fun concept to roll with. Especially when trying to keep it undercover. How you guys been doing it is perfect. Hope can milk that as much as you can.  Unless was it supposed to be permanent? Seeing he grows a dick when aroused. Doesn't really seem like any reason now to change him back.  Although being able to change forms at will would probably be ideal. Like Stacy was able to do, but if not and stuck that way. You won't hear me complaining. Also, can understand if can't reveal those details. 

No, I meant the second morning, after Rocky got injured under the waterfall. He wakes up and that's where free gameplay begins. Yes, we are trying to do what no one else does or does rarely. The only exceptions are any illegal topics and some topics that I personally don't like. Everything else seems pretty funny to me and that's why the game will have a lot of depth and at the same time a lot of stupidity, etc. When we are completely free from working on mechanics and the system (I think that's already from 0.8.0) we will finally be able to calmly develop the plot and then a lot will become clearer with each step. But we (especially me) love different tricks, so there will always be something in the game that the player didn't notice during the first playthrough + Easter eggs/references/scenes, etc. According to the good old school tradition. We will hide some content and other interesting things for the most regular and attentive players. In our game, almost everything matters and for a reason. For example (this is not a spoiler) one of the butterflies in one of the locations flies backwards... In short, before the game it is better to read "Alice in Wonderland" to prepare your head for the game). There is no absurdity there but...

I see, think that's when he crosses over the log?.  Sorry my memory can be crap sometimes.  

Also when you mention free play I assume talking about all the other goals or missions. That was in the player's journal that players were unable to tackle at the time. Like what you initially have right now, was the main story missions/path?  and the other things were side missions?  Then later will also have option to freely grind xp and what not with the turn base combat elements.   

Think see what you mean now overall this is like a first impression.  Not being the official game in a certain capacity. Like an introduction to how things and the story will generally work. Tbh at first, I was thinking that this all was all more or less a prologue. Then would become free play some time after. While other options maybe weren't available yet, being under development. Yeah, that's how my brain works. 

Although I assume rocky would still be more or less the main protagonist of this game?  While the other characters played would still have a somewhat linear path. With a touch of freedom to explore. With different inner monologues, events and responses. Which could also provide useful information for that specific character.  That could be helpful in the future for the players.  Like for instance I never would have known what well Stacy dropped her childhood teddy in.   Until she pointed out the well, she dropped it in. Mentioning it to herself privately.  Since for her character I imagine be too embarrassing to say out loud.  Although could remember to use Rocky to retrieve it later. Since sure she would still love to have it back.  So, it's cool being able to use that to the player's advantage. Also nice being able to dive deeper in the complexity and personality of that character. 

Can understand could take a while with so much on the table and yeah, I can be the same way regarding story telling.  My father wrote a few comics when I was younger.  The only one I liked was the one he didn't like.  Cuz he was just trying to make the story ridiculous, making fun of the pompous dude who commissioned him.  Was called Lance Stanton Wayward Warrior. My father preferred more of a serious approach in his writing.  Although I still like things to make sense, appear authentic that imo is when the true skill of writing comes in.  When comes to comedy never been a huge fan of Slapstick comedy.  Regarding the adult stuff not really a fan of games that are just there for the sake of porn.  I don't like porn games just games with some porn in them. If that makes sense, since I still enjoy the eye candy. Pretty much exactly what you been doing. As mentioned earlier feeling more organic. 

This game I'm sure will become a true gem over time. Pretty sure as this grows more through development. It will become very popular and build a massive fan base. The artwork and writing are very good.  Along with gameplay, choices and evolving gameplay mechanics.  Will only make this even better over time. I also do tend not to be very perceptive at times. So likely I will miss a bit of stuff.  Like the reference to Alice in Wonderland I likely would have never got.  Been so long since I watched that tbh.  Alot that stuff like the Labyrinth, The Witches and the Neverending Story I haven't watched for ages.  Still love me some Willow though. Not much of a reader tbh prefer the films. Games are the only exception for me because there interactive and provide images. 











Wow! Buddy you should come to our Discord). I'm there almost 24/7 and we could chat there. We have a calm and friendly atmosphere etc.

Yeah, was thinking about it, in truth haven't used it for a while.  Alot people really pissed me off on there in the past. Which were all supposed to be chill.  just so many immature a-holes.  Seem to attack me at random or like to twist my words. Making me really hate Discord so barely go on anymore. I'm also, not one to cry to moderators about it either. Granted are some good people on there but the crap I went through was total bs. If I do, consider joining I likely won't be super active at first. Given my past experiences with it. 

Just write a personal message to the Housewife (that's me) and say that you are from here (your nickname). Everything will be fine.
