Played 0.2.14. I'm still trash at it, mostly just run around aimlessly and can't find my way back haha, too unfocused I guess. So I don't know how much you'll get from my, uncommented, video.

New music is nice. It seems you're starting to implement some 3d stuff for your menus which I think is great. I'd like some buttons to move all your gold to and from the treasury. Sometimes I feel like I get stuck on things that I shouldn't, I dunno... I wish the "reinforced" crates were much clearer, I mistake them for regular ones all the time and keep wondering why they don't break. Why do I need to use the hearts next to the goblins to guess instead of using the goblins themselves, maybe both could work? I'd like the hands to do a "ready animation" when you're close enough to grab a crate in addition to the crosshair changing. Maybe make the raycasts more generous too so you don't have to aim exactly on one to grab it.

Other than that it'd be nice with more doodads, clutter, etc everywhere so you can better differentiate areas but I know you're working on that.

That looks awesome. I couldn't start it, tried pressing the Play button but it didn't register the click at all. 
On linux.
Maybe because I'm on a wide screen? Resolution 2560x1080 

I tried the game and I don't have much to say that the other haven't say already, so just know that I like it and you should keep working on it.

ahoy

i'll make this quick since i've written essays for GResort before and i figure you know my general thoughts/views

so:

>UI is better with icons. still has some ways to go, but every step counts. go MORE visuals in every possible option. things like (Female) can be replaced with an icon (the simple circle + cross standard woman symbol works). put as many things in dropdown lists as possible. the UI should be tiny and clean when not interacted with (ie: when you first present it to a new player)

>difficult is stabilizing. did not encounter any bullshit rooms or composition in my early runs. slime pools perhaps still a bit too punishing, but things are much better than before. new (to me?) rooms are also good. did not have any "oh come on" moments. feels like i have more time to reach objectives.

>story (without visuals) is risky. people will get bored before getting the fun stuff. while I know things will have visuals later, i'm speaking about DDs. bored testers = testers who quit on the first failure. probably a good idea to either: add any possible visuals, no matter how bad (i've said this before i know, but i really feel strongly about this), or just scrap it al and start with the game, then reintroduce once visuals are ready. 

>i didn't do the tutorial again, since i didn't notice anything new to me in the streams/ YT clips

>i mentioned this before, but i think time limits should be something that are introduce later, or something that you opt into for extra rewards. asking a player to remember layout + face on a time limit is stressful. i think it's worth it to pull a "darkest dungeon" move, where you have the intended difficulty, and the babymode difficulty which is clearly marked as such, but still available for players who just want to coom

>super minor issue: being super close to the heartmirror can show a low res face image. most people will faceplant the mirror, so i'd consider getting another, super high res image to use there. i assume this is WIP, though, but still thought i'd mention it.

otherwise you are clearly progressing and improving with each DD, keep up the good work

see you at DD50!

I really love the art, animations and music. The UI too. Everything that's here feels really well-done and very polished. I found a small typo in the movement tutorial - "Press <Righ Mouse Button> to Dash!" Using milk to regen mana is cute. I'm terrible at these types of games so I haven't gotten terribly far, but it's been a lot of fun so far. 

Great animations and art style.

minor UI things I can't help but point out:

• on your confirmations you have 'yes' on the left and the 'no' option on the right. Generally people expect the 'yes' option in UI to be on the right when confirming a choice.
• My first instinct is that a mouse click should advance dialogue.

I think instead of a tutorial that threw all of the mechanics at me at once (way too much to process) I would have rather learned by play through the game and just having mechanics introduced one at a time in levels.

The platforming feels crisp and satisfying!

Icons make UI more readable, the seals with the separation for the cost is also easier to read now. The vertical menu quick slots is new to me, I think it's an improvement. 

Progression felt like last time until BabySteps++ which felt like a bigger jump and I had to retry several times before getting a winning run, I also got lost several times due to my poor inner compass. 

A random thought that came to mind, maybe add a mini map that fills as you enter rooms as an easy mode? That would solve some people's being lost issues, though it may go against how you want the game played too much. 

Can't think of anything else, keep up the good work goblin dev.

Played v0.2.12 for 53min, afterwards played v0.2.13 for about half an hour.

Note that I never played this game before that, and look at it from the perspective of a total newcomer, without even any experience with 3D platformers. I believe this will be an accurate representation of how completely new players will experience your game. Here's a short SWOT analysis, which will be the basis for the conclusion.

Strengths:

• All UI aspects seem to be there on a technical level. While visual clarity is lacking, the main coding is clearly there.
• H-concept and integration seems well done, even though it fully lacks content.
• Good that there is a way to play without the time limit. Although you need to re-enable it every time and losing 80% of gold is a lot, making it not worthwhile in its current state.
• Enough mechanical depth to be long term interesting.
• Finished main gameplay loop, decently fun once you get used to the rooms. The fact that the difficulty increases automatically is also very well done.
• I didn't encounter any bugs or glitches, even minor move related once. So good job!

Weaknesses:

• Slow and confusing intro text (due to current lack of visuals, and similar looking names [???]). I'd be happy with just sketched placeholders to know what's going on.
• Music style doesn't fit (change between option menu and hyperactive one during gameplay), OK since placeholder, and a subjective opinion.
• The tutorial doesn't integrate well with the main game, so you may forget mechanics once you are in the game. Too many abilities are introduced at once. I'll come back to this in the conclusion.
• Jumping on vines feels weird. Jumping in general feels imprecise. Apparently you need to fiddle with the FOV, but new players aren't going to do that.
• Sound effects are clearly placeholder.
• Seals remained very unclear to me (not mentioned in the tutorial), despite the fact that these can be used to smoothen the early difficulty curve.
• Lost the first dungeon run extremely early on due to time loss. Very unforgiving for new players who don't know the room layouts.
• The newer version just made the first dungeon a lot more difficult. Not a good change.

Opportunities:

• Adult games always do well, and this has a different main concept.
• Just needs a lot more content (primarily visual, UI, and H-related), but main scaffolding is in place.
• There is a clean segregation between H and non-H content. This makes it easy to skip it for those only interested in the gameplay, and you can even release on Steam.
• The main reward system is obviously underdeveloped, but is a solid base for keeping players engaged.

Threats:

• I am missing (a start of) a workflow for the visuals. There aren't even even placeholders. This is an important aspect in adult games, and creating these visuals also takes a long time. This will certainly slow down the project and may even cause burnout.
• Additionally, I hope that the current 3D-models are placeholders, I can't really imagine pornographic scenes with those things. If they aren't, you'll probably want to move to a more ecchi, implied, style of game.
• There seems to be a certain scope creep related to the movement abilities, which is always a dangerous sign.
• Heavy focus on difficulty and precise movement can turn off players who are here for the porn.

Deep Dives:

I also want to focus deeper on two aspects which I seem like primary issues:

Tutorial:

Separating the tutorial from the gameplay is always a bad sign. By the time I jumped into the dungeon runs, I had forgotten all about the different jump styles, and for the entire remainder I only used the multi-jump. The tutorial also isn't fun, nor indicative of the actual gameplay. There are no timers in the tutorial, it focusses purely on movement mechanics. I would propose to spread the tutorial out over the main gameplay. Start the player with only the basic jump, and then introduce other styles later together with rooms that require their use. Currently even baby steps is a difficult leap for a new player, even after playing v0.2.12 I had trouble with it.

The same holds for the other introduction of mechanics. Seals for example are only explained via text when first entering the seals chamber. And you start with several of them already equipped. A more logical progression would be to start the player off without seals, and let the first ones during play to allow them to appreciate their effect. Seals are also divided into different categories without a way to just see all of them (and filter later once you get more). This brings me into the point of:

UI Design:

As an example, take the reception. You have a large amount of coloured buttons. There are no icons, and no explanation what anything means. Green doesn't necessarily mean unlocked, it sometimes means negative, etc... You should add icons, add more than colours (e.g. a lock over locked stuff).

Also, I wouldn't show everything at once. Start small, currently it is overwhelming. I don't need to see all races and racial aspects, let me unlock them throughout the game. Preferably in a story driven manner.

Take some inspiration from other management style games, or UI heavy games (like Paradox Games) that need to show a lot of complicated stuff to the player.

Conclusion:

It's a game with potential, and the core systems are in place. But the user experience and onboarding process is lacking. It is also unclear how feasible it will be to actually create the H-content for this game.

I did enjoy playing it eventually, but if I weren't replaying it for DD49 I would've bounced off of the game already. Additionally, there is no reason to keep playing since the main H-content isn't there yet.

I finally got around to playing the goblin game. It's pretty cool although the amount of goblins is lower than anticipated. The graphics remind me a little bit of Immortal Redneck, probably because of the coins.

The platforming is pretty good. I suck at it but it feels like there's a lot I could do if I didn't suck so much. I also like how progress isn't centered around flat upgrades you need to beat the game like other roguelikes do.

The upgrades, trade-offs and such in question are nice. However, I can't help but feel that it could be more interesting if there was a random element to them. It's a bit "min-max" for my taste. I haven't unlocked all of them so I don't know if this already exists but perhaps a seal that afflicts you with a random -1 penalty at the start of a run in exchange for +2 or something like that might be good.

Finally, I don't understand why this needs to be an explicitly adult game instead of just generally lewd. I feel like that's limiting unless a game is exclusively a vehicle for pornography, but you do what you gotta do to bring your vision to life. 

i really like it, timer thing is a bit though but i guess that's the main part that makes it fun. have you ever thought of combining the multi jump, power jump & hover thing? so instead of having to select it manually, you can activate it by doing things on a certain context. for example, multi jump is obviously activated by just pressing & immediately releasing space in air, power jump is activated automatically if you hold the space on the ground & hover is activated when you hold the space button in air. cause i feel it's a bit clunky to switch between those skills. or maybe there's a gameplay reason for the switch skill thing that i didn't know of?

I normally love these kinda games but when you add in randomly generated maze like elements with backtracking with a harsh time limit it just falls apart for me, the actual platforming feels great (even if I don't like the mana system) but that doesn't matter when I end up getting lost a ton, and due to the way the time limit works based on collecting gold, getting lost and going through a room again basically just kills the run. I enabled a bunch of extra time seals which barely helps, so my only option would be the unlimited time option which guts income by a ton, but no pressure at all also kind of defeats the point of the game as well since otherwise you are just repeating the same rooms over and over again without anything to make doing them again interesting. A big part of it also seems to be the massive difficulty spike between baby steps+ and baby steps++ which doesn't make for a smooth transition at all. Maybe it can all work better when you ease the player into mastering the rooms so they can go through them super quick, but as the demo currently stands that easing doesn't exist. And even if they do master each room perfectly the player can still get lost in the maze anyway.

Honestly I'm just very confused on what the target audience for this game is supposed to be, it just has a ton of mismatched ideas that don't really work together at all, not just with the supposed lewd management content but just the dungeon gameplay itself has a ton of systems that don't don't make much sense; Why is picking up and throwing boxes a mechanic? Why do I need to stop to manually interact with switches? Why are there three additional jump types to cycle between when it never seems I need any of them? Why is there a random memory game I need to play between getting to the end and getting back to the entrance? None of these things enhance the speedy platforming experience, they heavily clash instead.

Additionally there seems to be a ton of text teaching you about systems or mechanics that barely matter at all, maybe keep that stuff out of the demo until that content is actually in the game, or just simplify them until the systems are in place to make them matter. The seal system is overly complicated when it should be easy to understand and use to help the player make the game difficulty right for them.
