Talk about anything here.
Sorry for anyone that posted message before, I didn't through it would delete them all to make a community...
Your girl walks the city alone while you're out adventuring. What could possibly go wrong? · By
First of all, your game has potential, I'm enjoying watching it evolve.
I'd like to talk about “interracial”, not to be annoying, but the characters, the NPCs, they all look the same, it doesn't hinder the fun but could you add interracial sex?
Someone in the comments mentioned gangbang so I figured in a gangbang scene it will look like “Aria” Is fucking with clones
I understand that not everyone likes “interracial”, i understand that AI has some limitations. Anyway hope you like my ideas, peace ✌️.
I hope my previous question didn't offend you. It wasn't my intention.
To be or not to be, that is the question?
Is your game a NETORARE or a NETORASE? Can the player choose?
When Caelum discovers Aria's betrayal, how will he react? Will he abandon her? Or encourage her?
I imagine that Aria could prostitute herself And Caelum could encourage her, with the intention of raising funds for their adventures.
No spoilers. Good luck to you 👍
I don't know, and I can't know... Very peacefull as you might guess...
I started reworking the base game since last time, I wanted to launch on Steam, and it seems it was a right choice...
The steam page isn't up though, still on review. You can follow me with a free account on Patreon if ever Itch.io close my page.
I was looking forward to this update! But I'm worried about you and the gamer world. This wave of censorship sucks. Steam was censored, itch.io was censored, the next one could be you or me. I've heard that the culprits are christians who are against pornography, to no one's surprise. I believe in artistic freedom, the artist has the right to talk about anything, any subject, any taboo. I'm sorry, I know no one asked for my opinion but I wanted to know yours, I hope freedom of expression wins. Good luck to all of us. Your game is delicious!
Keep up the good work!
So, it's already a bit late to bring this up.
The version 0.5 came out almost a month ago.
However, is the change in the Aria attitude in the current version something the creator intended, or is it just a side effect of implementing the new graphics?
In version 0.4, during the early stages, the first scenes usually showed that she wasn’t happy with those interactions. She was even angry about them.
Later, once you had around 5 to 10 points, instead of getting angry, she became embarrassed.
That gave a really nice sense of progression, which I personally liked :P
In version 0.5, right from the start, you can tell she doesn’t mind it.
She’s even positively inclined toward it.
You don’t feel the character’s progression as strongly.
I know I’m nitpicking. I’m not even sure if anyone else noticed that the beginning changed.
In the end, it’s the author’s decision what the story should be and how the systems are meant to represent it.
So if that’s what they intended, then it’s really not my place to argue.
I know there was a scene in the prologue that suggested she might be more or less familiar with those kinds of actions, so maybe from a story perspective, the newer version actually represents the character better.
Hmm, who knows, probably the author :)
It was good while it lasted
The adventures of Caelum and Aria are coming to an end, you must already be thinking about your next adventures, so may I share my thoughts?
The same split-screen mechanics, but here, the split screen is a cell phone, does that make sense?
I was thinking that the split screen could be a cell phone, think of a game set in the present day. The “Girlfriend” does live streams, she walks around the city showing her daily life, showing off her beauty, sometimes wearing provocative clothes, craving attention, she “interacted” with the people of the city, as she becomes famous, these interactions with your fans are getting SPICIER, meanwhile, the “Boyfriend” watches everything in real time on his cell phone.
Feel free to use my ideas, in your future games. May I also make a recommendation? Play “My Best Friend Kouta” by GraverobberAXDX, It's a great game that unfortunately has been abandoned, maybe you'll like it too, maybe it will inspire you.
Thank you for your attention.
For the "streamer girlfriend" idea, the split screen cellphone idea has a lot of potential depending on how it's utilized. For the "unaware" route, the spicy things could be happening while the BF is at his job doing whatever and thus not paying attention to the cellphone (though we see it of course). Cue some random puzzle mechanic we have to do as gameplay in the meantime. But it also opens up the possibility of using the landscape format main screen to be "at home streams", like sitting in front of her desktop e.g. normal streamers, maybe it's during night when the BF is at home, so rather than watching via cellphone it's watching on the PC. It's mostly normal / cute things but she subtly alludes to her viewers where she'll be the next day for offline meets, e.g. "Yeah I'm looking forward to getting ice cream tomorrow~ There's a place on 92nd street that's just to die for~ Ice cream is best at noon to help you cool down don't you think?~"
If you wanted to keep up the unaware BF bit, only thing I could think of would be she installed a spycam in the BFs house while visiting him to know when he was AFK to flash the viewers for a quick second, but outside of something harebrained like that, I have no idea how you would pull off a lewd stream that a BF would be okay with. Maybe just a "it's just to earn some extra money babe, you're the only I'd let do anything to me~ (lie)". It's a fine line between believability and outright "yeah he doesn't care, go nuts".
That sounds great. With the phone split screen idea, you could also have a couple other apps that fit within the streamer GF idea, like an insta type app where she posts more and more provocative stuff but still hides the full extent of her corruption, another "secret" profile with an hidden identity posting the lewder stuff, a "twitter/city message board" type app where people talk about the hot streamer girl they came across who was acting slutty, maybe even an OF later if/when MC realizes what's up where he can spend earned currency to buy pictures of his girlfriend with random dudes.
To that last point the big thing with such a setting would be that without dungeon segments there would need to be tasks for the MC to do in the overworld, where he earns money but also to give an aim to the running around the place.
GAME IDEA
ON FIELD EVENTS:
Your girlfriend wants to be famous. She walks around town being approached by her fans. The first one wants a selfie. The next one wants a hug. The next one wants a kiss on the mouth. The next one wants to touch her. The next one wants a nude photo. The next one takes his penis out and asks her to evaluate it. A group of fans surround her and ask her to have sex with all of them.
DUNGEONS:
A femme fatale. A path to becoming famous is to appear alongside famous people. To do this, she first has to attract the attention of celebrities, and her beauty is her best weapon. But of course, no one will help her for free.
Another path is to look for “patreons”, someone who wants to invest on her. To achieve this, she needs to know how to sell her merchandise, her talents, her body.
THE SPLIT SCREEN
It looks like Instagram, but without filters. Anything can appear in your feed.
The split screen is a cell phone, connected on social media. Sometimes photos of his girlfriend appear. Sometimes strangers show up doing naughty things. Fans leak intimate photos or videos of his girlfriend.
MAP
It would be cool if the characters could change clothes, could have a day and night map, that it was possible to switch between day and night.
My text must have sounded strange. I'm still learning English, so please excuse any mistakes. Thank you for your attention.
Some thoughts after playing:
(1) First was the intro. After registering at the adventurer's guild, it took me WAY too long to find the inn. Maybe add a small bit of text for the guild master or the player to make an offhand remark on it being in the southeast? Unless I missed it lol. It's not a big deal once you find it but I legitimately spent like 15 minutes scouring the map and somehow missing it.
(2) I think you did a good job on the combat and difficulty scaling, which is pretty hard to scale properly in a game like this. Though without Aria's Saint II spell the succubus dungeon is pretty hard.
(3) If the image gens are fast / easy to do for you, I would like a folder included in the game to replace the interracial stuff. I can't imagine there's that many people from across the world in a RPG style town. Feel free to disregard though.
(4) I don't know how difficult it would be to implement code wise, so feel free to disregard this idea too, but the possibility of a bank or something similar, maybe at the guild? It would prevent some item loss upon death (because they're safely stored at the guild, though you can lose some stuff you bring with you), while also allowing you to access the "not enough money for the inn" event scenes without having to bankrupt yourself. (4.2) A party wipe with just lustful Aria and MC could lead to a (willing) monster sex scene while the MC is knocked unconscious, like what Aria alludes to in the dungeon before entering.
(5) I want to see the Goddess' breasts 😭
1) I wanted to encourage the player to walk around the city a bit to check out where the buildings were, etc., without triggering any “sexy” events. But it is maybe a little too much hard to find yeah. Sadly I can't modify it now that I've sended it to Steam :'(
2) Thanks, it did was pretty hard to do so ! Aria's Saint II is very usefull, until the end.
4 and 4.2) That's great idea, I'll keep it for eventual post-release update or next game.
5) Sadly the goddess doesn't have that much scene in this game. Sorry !
Hey, I've really enjoyed this game, can't wait to buy the final version ! Is that still planned for October 30th btw? Also have you thought about maybe shipping a Linux native version? If so and you need someone to beta test I can help with that.
That aside, I've got some feedback:
First off, you've found a truly awesome formula with the splitscreen stuff, I'd played some of your prior games and they showed potential but this new approach really feels like you've struck gold. And for a first go at this setup you've done it as well or better than other games with similar concepts. I hope you'll be sticking with that general idea, tweaking it as is appropriate for the different settings you might want to explore.
That said, it's not all perfect. It works best when you're basically chasing after Aria to catch her doing naughty things, but that aside the overworld is kind of aimless. Caellum doesn't really have anything to do that requires him to walk around, we as the player only do it because we want Aria events to spawn. Which also means that if we don't want to chase after Aria to keep a fully oblivious Caellum, there's practically nothing to do but standing around while stuff happens to her.
Someone mentioned a "streamer girlfriend" idea which does sound extremely fun but considering that likely wouldn't have combat/dungeon parts, going with that setting or something similar would really require implementing overworld quests for the MC to do. It doesn't have to be super deep, just give us reasons to go from point A to point B (going to buy groceries, the girlfriend has asked you to pick up some takeaway for her, going to University or working odd jobs, ... whatever fits the setting) so we have things to do while the FMC is being lewded. And then if we want to take detours from those quests to see what she's up to in person then that's fine too.
Another more minor thing, IMO it would be nice if we had a mini map to more easily locate where the FMC is.
Anyway, good luck with the final stage of development !
The released is planned for the 30th yup. Steam should be ready in time.
I don't think RPG Maker MZ have a Linux native version method sorry.
Streamer girlfriend would take place in a modern world yeah, with job and stuff while she ... "wander the street" we'll say.
It would be interressing to have it in a fantasy world though. I wanna make an elf ! 🤣
I see, I know some devs export windows builds of MZ games but I don't know how they do it. Looking forward to the 30th !
Well, really there's nothing stopping it from being in a fantasy world, just make it a magical device instead of a phone. Maybe the donations to the stream could then be in the form of mana donations then too, so the lewder she gets, the more mana she receives and the stronger she is, and that could be her motivation to get corrupted. And I'm never gonna turn down an elf FMC ! Still, even if there's a dungeon part again I hope you'll find ways to have more things to do in the overworld.
If you do go with the streaming/phone idea it would be nice if there were social media apps too, I talked about it slightly more in depth on another comment but I think that would enhance the concept.
Looking forward to see what you'll go with !
