alpha 2 currently has 4 different scenes that act as a test. the alpha 1 branch has more gameplay. I am currently working towards a alpha 2.1 update that will have the gameplay people experienced in the earlier alpha 1 builds, but I estimate its at least a month and then some away
Sorry, I got it figured out a few minutes later, I had to go back into the files of the game to activate it and then everything worked fine, I'm a bit new to extracting files lol
Well, this was certainly an interesting update. Tons of graphical improvements, and I like the change of movement. one minor problem I had was that when you entered either Bella's or Ginny's room you couldn't leave. only way to leave was exiting the game.
Yup. That's due is tied to the save system since its trying to load some stuff in the elevator room that isn't correctly updated since I decided to add a few extra assets to the two rooms there.
Is there a way to limit the FPS in the game? Running it makes my computer run hot no matter what graphics settings I use, and the usual fix is locking the FPS to 60, but there doesn't seem to be an option.
Edit: I was able to cap the FPS through Nvidia, so it's all good!
Just curious, what's the Teddy Bear in the crib with the jumpscare supposed to do, I try to interact with it but nothing happens. Not looking for spoilers, just wanting to know if it's a bug or if I'm missing something
when it's done :P it will start getting worked on after the switch to the alpha 2 system codework. the protagonist and all the cultists now have accidents over time with pearl and rea having the ability to get changed just without the cutscene and anim work yet
What I mean is that I want to ask when the next Alpha update will be. The two models that cannot be played are not the actual game updates. Note that it is “actual”. I don’t know what my translation software translated it into. Because My native language is not English
This weekend. I am not sure what you mean by the two models. There is one playable character (rea) and 8 cultists with another on the way thats about 70% done. All character models got updated for the halloween and bella and rea are getting additional tweaks when I get hone from work.
The 4 test stages and show room are getting minor tweaks as well and I am adding a few props and music tracks that missed the halloween update
bunch of new prop items with the liquid shader being used on the sippy cup, new cottage to the right, the new mirror shader, first pass of the magazines that will eventually become collectables and the model updates with them now head tracking the player and having tail breast and ear physics.
And I really want to urge you to update your game. It’s been 282 days since I got the game, but I still haven’t seen the actual game content update. Although I really want to continue waiting in silence, it’s really been too long.
Actually I can help you out on understanding this mate. I respect you and understand the work you put into this. Well done. I admire you for that. Thing is, when I get into the new game for the SH small, it's just the graveyard with nothing I can interact with. Now that awyou say this, I understand I'm looking at something wrong here. So what I'm asking is which download takes me to your work? Would it be the showcase? I can't tell. When I go back to downloads it says "last update 286 days ago" I can't wait to see what you done.
Oh you mean the proper 1.4 with the bugfixes. Yeah, give it a week since I want to update both Bella and Rea with the issues caught. I had to crash this weekend from overworking with my main job and fighting some compilation issues with the halloween.
Can I help you out in anyway? I've been a quiet observer from your twitter and a big fan since the first spoopy halloween on itch. Maybe I can help some how.
Yes. I will be looking for testers for 1.5 and 2.0 now that I will be compiling a build every week or so.
I do have zero tolerance for people that tries to cause any sort of drama and pettiness like talking behind other backs and failing to settle minor disagreements like a actual person since that has been an issue in the past.
You can add me onto discord if interested: hodgepodge028 Feel free to DM me on FA or twitter if you have any issues and I will be happy to assist.
The page won't let me download the latest build without paying again. Is that supposed to be how it works? Cuz I was under the impression that this works like Steam Early Access where you buy the game before it's done and get to play every new build without paying again.
No, you should have forever access. Can you reach out to me either through a fa or twitter note or through discord: hodgepodge0281 just send your email you used to purchase it and I will get you straight.
This is actually a problem with itch.io. After purchasing some games, it will still show that you have not purchased and need to purchase again. However, in fact, there is a small pop-up window at the top of the page telling you to own the game and download it.
My bad on that one. I will have to patch it. There were a few silly things I overlooked to meet the deadline. Thankfully everything so far found is an easy fix.
I will be working on that shortly after the upgrade to the alpha 2 codebase. I did compile halloween 2023 with its 4 maps and its showcase room. Check the downloads for the link since it's bigger then itch.io allows.
They were never compiled and it takes several hours to compile the shader variations1.2 was the tech demo with a very early version of maddie and some stage work. 1.3 was the improved graphical pipeline with meg and the first pass of the new models with improved animation capabilities. 1.4 came shortly after with ms.anthropy (the witch cat that will have projectile based attacks later.)
So for some reason it still wont launch on my main Windows PC (doesnt launch just starts consuming RAM) although I was able to play it on a spare PC running Linux using WINE but it was at abysmal framerates
I belive Halloween 2022 worked i know the alpha 1.1 works fine gpu is a MSI Radeon R9 390 8G Gaming cpu is a AMD Phenom II X4 925 and GPU is on the latest driver which is from 6/23/2022 and there is no new drivers unless I want to mess with modded ones as the card is considered a legacy card by AMD now

i perfered your old demo where u could actully get a feel of what u do in the game this demo all u do is explore not really likeing this demo
i do too. the old stages and the hostile ai are returning in 2.1. its due this june
Any chance we get an update or dev log soon?
I am doing a render and devlog tonight after I get a exercise and some rest.
I just bought the game but I cant figure out how to play? I got into the showcase of the game but that is it? Is that it or actual game play?
alpha 2 currently has 4 different scenes that act as a test. the alpha 1 branch has more gameplay. I am currently working towards a alpha 2.1 update that will have the gameplay people experienced in the earlier alpha 1 builds, but I estimate its at least a month and then some away
I can’t wait for it because I love that we finally have a 3D diaper game! Do yall take ideas for stuff in the game?
yup, i review ideas for the game all the time and figure out if they are a good fit and realistic in a future build.
I downloaded the new alpha 2.0.3 and extracted it with that program but now when I try to open it to play nothing happens
Heya, Can I get some additional info from you? Such as what OS you are running it on, your GPU and where you extracted the game data to?
Sorry, I got it figured out a few minutes later, I had to go back into the files of the game to activate it and then everything worked fine, I'm a bit new to extracting files lol
could you email me? I really wanna play the game. lanettynetworks@gmail.com

Sounds fun.
Sorry for the dumb question, but is it normal that I only see the free version of the recent releases, even though I bought the game a while ago?
These are my downloads.
same thing i paid but it wants me to pay again
Been playing the Xmas demo, just some quick notes:
Same issues i've had, do atleast love the rooms on both left and right very well done, do hope a hotfix comes out. .w.
Yay thanks for the christmas alpha. It looks awesome! Cant wait for the game :)

It's there just for the vibes currently.
Got ya, anything for "babification" yet?
when it's done :P it will start getting worked on after the switch to the alpha 2 system codework. the protagonist and all the cultists now have accidents over time with pearl and rea having the ability to get changed just without the cutscene and anim work yet
Oh and the buttons where the bosses are that say "spawn friends" what do they do?
There's an odd temple that appears after I push one (as far as I know) but there isn't anything inside
And a locker shows up near the beginning but if I open it the game freezes
those two are placeholdera. The temple is there atm as a godray light test.

The 4 test stages and show room are getting minor tweaks as well and I am adding a few props and music tracks that missed the halloween update
So, what's new in both of the showcases?
bunch of new prop items with the liquid shader being used on the sippy cup, new cottage to the right, the new mirror shader, first pass of the magazines that will eventually become collectables and the model updates with them now head tracking the player and having tail breast and ear physics.
I'm assuming that you've already caught this but in the new build, you can't return to the main menu from the pause menu.
Also, I know that the lighter is supposed to be a last resort but currently I feel that it gives out too little light to be useful.
yup caught. The lighter actually is getting buffed in alpha 2 and I'm dropping the dual use with the lantern since it's silly.
And I really want to urge you to update your game. It’s been 282 days since I got the game, but I still haven’t seen the actual game content update. Although I really want to continue waiting in silence, it’s really been too long.
I don't follow, the game just got a bunch of new music tracks, a new graphical pipeline 3 new cultists, a guest character and 4 new stages.
Actually I can help you out on understanding this mate. I respect you and understand the work you put into this. Well done. I admire you for that.

It seems to be a bug, the game shows buy for 10 USD, but if you scroll to the top it shows how long ago you purchased it with a download link.
Nah, that's just the way itch.io is about some purchases.
The page won't let me download the latest build without paying again. Is that supposed to be how it works? Cuz I was under the impression that this works like Steam Early Access where you buy the game before it's done and get to play every new build without paying again.
No, you should have forever access. Can you reach out to me either through a fa or twitter note or through discord: hodgepodge0281 just send your email you used to purchase it and I will get you straight.

I have/had the same issue, but there is a button on top of the page:
![]()
not sure if computer issue or if its normal to take this long, or an error but its taking a long time to load or i'm stuck on the scene loading screen
what level are you attempting to load?
i tried loading the showcase room and Halloween cemetery and showcase and nothing but endless loading it seems though i was able to load the cellar
odd I will look into it tonight
I too have this problem loading the cemetery and the showcase from the file from the text file link. All the others load fine.
The Halloween Small file loads fine if that helps anything.
Same issue here, Can't load in to the cemetery or the showcase.
My bad on that one. I will have to patch it. There were a few silly things I overlooked to meet the deadline. Thankfully everything so far found is an easy fix.
babifcation is there a way to start it or is it not yet implemented yet
I will be working on that shortly after the upgrade to the alpha 2 codebase. I did compile halloween 2023 with its 4 maps and its showcase room. Check the downloads for the link since it's bigger then itch.io allows.
So that's the showcase thing or another file entirely
different file. its the txt one since itch limits your upload size
got them and i have infinite loading screens
getting patched!
I'm assuming that this is a symptom of these being single level compiles but I'd just like to note that if you die, you can't respawn.
it is since there is no load or main menu screen to transfer to
btw, standing on ai heads in new update cheeses them!
(no detection)
as intended! (with how detection is handled in the current alpha 1. branch)
I do have a question tho... in "The Mansion" how do you get past that segment with the lighter?
You light the two candles with it before the room traps you.
hodge, Ill pay $$$ to play ur unreleased versions. and also give you feedback :) (hyped for 1.2!!) ((name ur price!))
They were never compiled and it takes several hours to compile the shader variations1.2 was the tech demo with a very early version of maddie and some stage work. 1.3 was the improved graphical pipeline with meg and the first pass of the new models with improved animation capabilities. 1.4 came shortly after with ms.anthropy (the witch cat that will have projectile based attacks later.)
thx for getting back so quick, means a lot to me (and I'm sure it means a lot for the rest of the community aswell!)
what takes so long for compiling? (Genuine question not trying to come off rudee)
shader variations by far. Everytime I update URP it means 3-4 hours of compiling them.
So for some reason it still wont launch on my main Windows PC (doesnt launch just starts consuming RAM) although I was able to play it on a spare PC running Linux using WINE but it was at abysmal framerates
sounds like your gpu driver isn't playing nice with 2023. Did halloween 2022 work and what is your gpu and when was driver last updated?
Game runs fine, its %100 hardware limitations
I belive Halloween 2022 worked i know the alpha 1.1 works fine gpu is a MSI Radeon R9 390 8G Gaming cpu is a AMD Phenom II X4 925 and GPU is on the latest driver which is from 6/23/2022 and there is no new drivers unless I want to mess with modded ones as the card is considered a legacy card by AMD now
I am going with hardware since if my memory serves that gpu is creeping up on being 8 years old. I don't think a custom driver will help
