itch.io

Images are fixed now. I apologize about that. The same thing happened before, I think something about my Gifs mess up the upload. Seems like just because I can see them while uplading them, doesn't mean they will display correctly. I'll be more careful in the future.

Thanks a lot for letting me  know.

Is not just you. They got messed up while I was uploading them. I'll fix it now.

Yeah of course, don't worry.  Whenever I upload a new build, the old one gets replaced with the new one. So you'll just get a notification when the new version is available, and you can just download it from your already purchased games list. 

No, don't worry. I didn’t use itch.io as a stepping stone and abandon it.  I'm still working on Theanthria every single day. But I can see why you are worried, since I haven't updated in a while. What happened is that I had the idea of updating here only with new builds, but I didn't think this new build was going to take me so much time. I’ve been reworking several core systems, which ended up taking way longer than I expected. So, apologies for the silence. I should have made just regular progress updates. I'll work on making more updates so at least people know the game is still alive. 

If you go here to your purchases:

Can you still see the game?

Hello, yes, I saw your comment. It was a mistake on my part to not communicate properly. But the paid version is available, as it always was. You should be able to see it.

What I ended up doing is creating 2 pages for the game, one free, and the original one (this one) isthe paid one, as it was before.

I very briefly changed so there was only a free page and the Steam page, which is what you are mentioning, but I changed it back after your original comment months ago, and decided for having 2 different itchio pages.

Point is, you should see the version you paid for here, as always. If not, I need to check what happened.

Thanks for pointing that out, friend. I hadn't realized that Itch.io has re-indexed the free nsfw games; I was just planning to wait all this out.

But you are right, for now I'll set Theanthria as a free demo here, and this page will serve as a funnel to direct people to Steam for the uncensored version... Tho I just hope Steam doesn't also screw us over. More than usually anyways.  

No, there is no voice acting. Sorry friend. 

Yeah, the Steam version is the uncensored one :)

I'm looking into that. I don't want you to pay twice.

I'm new to how Steam does things, but I think I can request N amount of keys in bulk once the game is out. Tho I'm unfamiliar with the process.

So don't worry, in theory you can still buy the game here, and I'll see that you still receive a key when the game is out. Or, you can wait until the Steam release and buy the game there.

I'll keep you updated.

Yeah, the only difference between censored and uncensored is the pixelation during sex. Like this:

^this is the censored ver of course ^

Nah you are not missing anything. They are pretty much just for underskirt views and, as you said, if you want to have them walk around in their underwear. 

I've just uploaded the corrected files. I also realized that both free and paid versions had the same error...

It should be ok now. Again, thanks for pointing this out.

Ok, im checking now. I messed up naming the folder. So it's still there, but the game doesnt access it because it's looking for a different name.
Such a stupid mistake. Thank you so much for letting me know. I will correct it right away.

let me check right now

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into it. I completely overlooked disabling v-sync as an option. Thanks for pointing it out!

Ah thanks for the feedback, friend.

Yeah... That's a great idea. I actually thought of implementing something like simple casino card game before (blackjack for instance), but back then I had no clue how to do it.

I'm currently testing more methods to improve the city. My goal is to have a somewhat big city with little mini games all over the map in different places,  like the casino you mentioned, or playing chess in the park, etc. Would be so cool.

I'll let you know :v

I managed to fix the issue!

Turns out there was a problem with how the characters were listed.

Basically I accidentally left some dummy characters active on the scene. These characters have no visible components, nor colliders. That's what is on the screenshot.

I removed them, so the system should work now :)

I'll upload the new build asap.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll check what's going on right away.

That 40% is how likely it is for them to say yes. You don't need to have them at 100% for them to accept.

The percentage is based on the affection stat. If you max out their affection, the changes will always be 100%. But in theory you can invite a girl with a 2% change and if you are very lucky, she can accept (same with sex).

The way the sex chance is calculated uses another hidden modifier tho, so it's always lower than the chance of accepting coming with you.  

Hello, and thank you for your appreciation, friend.

I do want to publish Theanthria on Steam, but I've been hesitant because I wanted to wait until  the game was in a better condition to present it to the Steam audience. As you have mentioned, the game still has a lot of optimization issues (and other countless bugs) that I'm struggling with at the moment.

So, yes, I hope to upload it to Steam eventually. And yes, I'm working on optimizing performance, don't worry :3

Again, thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the feedback. Those are all very good points. I'm about to release the new build these days. I'll work on the issues you mentioned by the next one.

Ah thanks, friend!

There's no oral stuff yet. I'm working on it, don't worry :v

I'm also working on other furniture for sex, like tables, as you mentioned. 

I'll let you know :)

From what I'm seeing, I really enjoy the floating cam. Also SotD seems to have very nice animation state transitions. And I really like the UI. You are right, it definitely is very good for inspiration.

 I'm working on implementing a similar camera on my game now, and it really makes the sex scenes way more interesting :v

Again, I thought it would be very hard to code, but I found a plugin for floating cam controllers on the store. 

Still need to solve some issues, but seems good so far :D

I'll keep you updated.

Hey again!

That's an amazing idea. I recognize that my current sex cam is very awkward, since it's the same as the regular 3d cam. So I was thinking of how to improve it. I was thinking of a free floating cam as well or something similar... Your suggestion sounds interesting tho. Can you tell me what game it was? Maybe I can take inspiration from it hehe

Also, any suggestion you have is ok. The priority is to make the game better for everyone, so don't worry if it's a little bit hard for me to implement. After all, this is my job, and I really love doing it :D

I've managed to solve half of the issue. It was a very dumb syntax error I made while coding the conversation randomizer.

Though I'm still trying why the player some times can't interact after a conversation.

I'll keep you updated.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll see what is causing that bug and fix it asap.

I'm very sorry T__T 

You are correct, I decided to make it an exclusive paid feature. Only the Patreon version will be uncensored. The idea is to give an incentive to people to support the project on Patreon. I apologize for the confusion.

And thank you for always showing interest in the game. 

Thank you so much friend. It's good to know that you'd support the Kickstarter. I'm getting more motivated to do it now :)

No, there isn't a save system, I'm working on it tho, don't worry. It should be within the next updates.

I agree with the grappling hook! I want to implement it as an item you can buy after certain point in the story, along with customizable modifications to the jump pack. Like skill points allocated to speed, jump height, wall-run time... Still, there's other things I need to work on before that. So, no promises but I'll keep you updated.

Now that you mention that, I need to fix the fall damage, because as you say, you die very frequently. I'll work on it today.

Thanks for your feedback, friend!

Ah, thank you so much for those comments friend, I'm glad you like the concept. I'll answer your questions:

Updates for the near future:

At this moment, I'm working on fixing bugs and optimizing performance. The next couple updates will be small patches so to make the base mechanics playable with no issues.

The next few goals are:

• Optimizing so the game has better framerate and less stutters.
• Redesigning the world so is more fun and less clunky to navigate (also add more detail to it and make it more aesthetic and believable).
• Creating more animations and adding more "sex furniture" for more sex positions.
• Polishing the dialogue and adding more lines and options.
• Redesign the anthros. Specifically the textures, because as you've seen, most don't have a fur pattern and are just a solid color.

Sim events: yes!

Most of what you can find in the game serves as a stand-in for the concepts I've envisioned.  I wanted the player to be able to buy a bigger house, in a different location of the map, maybe close to other character's house... Currently, the game is more like a sandbox without story mode.

From the beginning, I wanted Theanthria to be somewhat of a 3D visual novel dating sim, in which you decide your favorite character's route, with character-specific events and fetishes (like a yandere who stalks  you and r*pes you, a girl that is into vore and shrinks you to eat you, a religious girl from the Theanthropic Church  who wants to be your slave, and so on and so on)... but implementing the core systems turned out to be a more lengthy and laborious process than I thought. Being honest, most of it is due to my own incompetence; I specially need to improve my skills as a programmer. 

So story progression and character specific events are definitely planned, but will have to wait for a bit while I fix the current issues. I'm sorry friend T__T

Although, I'm considering a Kickstarter campaign, which would make things way faster and easier for me.

Yes, there is only one sex position currently. I'm working on more!

I was already making more animations but then I got busy fixing some game-crashing bugs that someone here pointed out to me. 

I have a better body model for the characters that I'm experimenting with and I'm very excited to use. I will be making more animations within the next weeks.

Be assured that I'm constantly working on the game. As I type this, I'm uploading another build which should have better performance.

Also I'm open for suggestions on what you would like to see in the game, bugs that you may find, and any criticism. 

I'll keep you updated.

Worry not, I'll get  to fix those bugs asap.

The lifeless ragdoll delivering the order is very funny tho. I didn't even think it was possible haha.

And again, thank you for the feedback. You don't really need to, but I appreciate that you took time out of your day for this. 

Thanks for your feedback and for joining us on Patreon!

Thank you for your feedback. It is immensely valuable right now :v

And I agree on everything you said.

• I think you are referring to a bug in which the girls just ignore you if you talk to them. I think I know what causes it, so I'm working on fixing it.
• Definitely is hard to get them to say yes. I'll make it so less "love" is required.
• I need to re-do the whole movement system, that will be my next big priority. Along with the terrain, which I'm just now noticing how awkward it is to navigate.
• I'm so dumb, I didn't think of resetting to home position, I'll add it ASAP. Thanks!
• A "sleep to pass time" mechanic was already planned, but I'll make it a priority now.
• I'll make it so accepting an order requires more than just pressing E. I think I'll add it to the menu screen.

Thanks for your comment. That happened any time someone pressed "Y",  since I was using that key as a shortcut to test something and forgot to remove it.

Thank you for pointing that bug out, you are the best : )

When you click on the food bag on one of the food stands, a message appears ("picked up order!"). Also, only when you have the food, a green icon with a little house symbol appears on the map, signifying that a girl is outside waiting for you to deliver.

But I'm going to add an additional indicator to make it more clear :v

Thanks for your comment : )

Working on it right currently :v

Seems like the map not responding is being caused by the command tied to the jetpack script, which is inactive while you are not wearing the jetpack. I'm correcting that now.

I'm looking into the other issues now. 

Really thanks for the feedback :v
