Nice concept. Not sure where you want to take this game but form things that annoys me.
- Game won't work in background (easily fixed with few changes in project setting) - Day cycle is simply to long, waiting from 9-18 is 9 minutes... probably should be cut to half of it, or like 4 minutes for 8 hours in game time. - Already mentioned by someone, but when girls take pills they just leaving rather than stay for a moment for her transformation to end.
For future.
Think about making every part of a character model adjustable, it will save you headache later on, even if this will take more time to implement right now. So lets say you will have a single character model where you will only change breast size, muscle size, head/hair etc. rather than making own model for each character.
I kinda regret not going with such approach in my game.
Think about adding cheaper supplements (they can do nothing for now), so player has easier time making money.
Gear: You will be able to find and equip various pieces of gear for your party. These will affect stats like HP, Height Steal, Shield, starting recharge times for specific glyphs, and more.
Rework of the Height Steal mechanic (this is heavily tied to the new gear system).
Work on bad endings (finally!).
Continuation of work on missing enemies and Player Companion stages up to 10.
City expansion as there is not much to do in city and some NPC don't give any meaningful interactions to player.
Im not planing new game anytime soon, as long as im not feeling finished with this one. But definitely would want in far future to make game that let player expand whatever they want, with usage of paper doll system
I plan to add special type of equipment that will manipulate a difficulty of world, so for example you will be able to increase starting level of newly spawning monsters, or even extend cycle time.
But as i currently working on it as this will be part of 0.3 sadly you have to wait little longer.
> Also, should the character go back to lv 1 if you change their transformation base? Yes. I believe it written in tutorials but there is no hint while talking to NPC.
> Cait Fat sprites don't load in Fixed it (i hope)
> all the enemies change to level 6 Is this still a problem in newer version?
Ye. I just left for now a option to dialog Belle over and over again. Otherwise peoples wouldn't be able to recruit Sily. So lets say this is intended bug. I mean you can now Recruit 3 times the same character. yay? I will disable repeats of that dialog in future.
> Firstly, I was really confused about the types of attacks. Not only are they merely described in a tiny text box, but they also don't seem to function the way they were described. <
Yes, some of them didn't work in the end. I realized this while testing the 0.2 version (for example, nobody reported the Hill glyph, but I can't blame people when there was a pretty poor explanation of what it does). They should be fixed in the upcoming version. I've also added the ability to hover over a glyphs during combat to see exactly what they do.
Hill (green one) have their power doubled in middle section, but returns to normal after leaving it. Pierce (purple one) damages also a glyph behind one it collides with.
With the next version, there will also be more detailed tutorials that explain the key mechanics in depth.
I also found out that mats wasn't adding correctly but rather overwrite each other in crafting, should be fixed for 0.2
I initially hoped to drop it on June 13th, but I still have a few things I want to test, some tutorials to finish, and a few images to polish up, so I’ve decided to postpone it by two weeks.
You can find schematics in chests on world map. For example If i remember correctly you also should be able to buy one in shop as it is guaranteed to roll here. Also enemies sometimes drop them. You don't need feather for anything.
Can you explain in more detail what exactly is happening? Does the game just close, or do you get a specific crash report? Also, which operating system are you using?
> Always interesting to see more of these transformation games crop up since AI generation become more consistant. Although I would give it more credit if it was made by an actual artist, I can understand there's likely a considerable amount of alternative character art planned.
Sadly, commissioning an artist would literally drain me of any money, as for main characters alone, with 4 transformations and 10 images each, it's 40 Tabula + 40 Cait 80 images.
I know that people are extremely skeptical in terms of AI images. For such indie games, it's a good option as long as you put some effort into making them look good. Otherwise, the game would need to be text only, and that kind of takes away the charm.
I always try to fix my generated images in GIMP to look as consistent as possible. Did I succeed in that? It's up to players to say.
>Gameplay wise, it's a bit static but I can see that figuring out attack and defence block placements certainly gives it potential. I figured there could be some interesting gameplay with using block against overpowered enemy attacks, but once I crafted a Split that I could use every 'x-0.05' seconds, I more or less steamrolled everything.
I expected that game to be unreasonably unbalanced at first release. To be honest, I wasn't even sure if people would like combat in such a style, as you would mostly see typical JRPG/RPG Maker combat or Card game combat in such games.
In the end, I was pleasantly surprised that people, in fact, are interested in this type of combat.
I'm trying my best now to rebalance everything for 0.2, so players won't stomp everything so fast. Also, don't get me wrong, I'm okay with people finding out broken combos, but not that early on.
It's great help for me when people point out what was truly game breaking for them. I got a lot of comments about balance issues and answers to them on Discord, so I will try to balance with these in mind.
For bugs, thanks for the report.
I was sure that I fixed the "I cannot stop winning!" bug, but I will have to look at speed then.
For 22122 this is the first time someone has reported that. I will try to recreate that, but with the amount of info I got, it probably will be hard.
