It 1000000000% is. It's pretty obvious too. Which is ironic considering the "High-quality art and animations to bring every moment to life" in the description.
I gave it another try and... I just have to sit here doing literally nothing with the first 2 bars ALMOST filled for... how long? There's no visual for what "Maxing out" a girl means, and if them growing is supposed to be that, how do I know when they're done?? Listen, I've played video games of all kinds as long as I can remember, I've taken game design classes and even made a game of my own. All of that to say, I have a pretty good intuition for how a game is played, what's fun, and what works and doesn't work.
This is the first game that makes me feel like a game journalist
This is such a non game, even for gooner game standards. I know you can do better, after I left my first comment I went and tried your other game (the Marvel rivals one) and legitimately, the actual tycoon-ish gameplay is solid and actually had me finding strategies to collect points.
I hate being overly negative, and I hope it doesn't come off that way. Genuinely you already show the ability to make this better. You just need to trim the fat that is waiting. Waiting. Doing nothing. With nothing to do in the meantime just isn't fun.
and I know that may not be the focus of a game thats end goal is to make the player jork it. But if a player has to wait super long to even get there, they're just gonna play something else.
EDIT: I took a good while to write this comment, but before I did I set up the game how you suggested: both easy characters with the first 2 bars full just letting it fill the milk bar. I even upgraded the value of the bar piece things to get more. I did all that, then spent a while writing out and editing the first part of this comment and it still wasn't done.
Ok, what's the game here? Infinite clicker simulator? Cuz even for a clicker game its extraordinarily slow. Most clicker games have some sort of reset but start with a permanent multiplier thing that you can do to boost yourself. I'm using an auto-clicker at 1 click per millisecond, and somehow I still haven't even filled the third bar halfway on any of the characters. Buying upgrades is a chore, why are the upgrades locked behind an arbitrary, seemingly limited token currency? You barely get any at the start and its the same pace throughout the rest of each character's progress.
ok, couple things. Even after reading the controls and instructions that you have in the game description, I still do not fully understand the controls. How do I close the curtains? What does the recharge thing on the last camera do? Which character is which??? I'm not going to know the names if they aren't labeled anywhere except the gallery which is all blacked out anyway until you see the scene. Speaking of which, you should really exclude patreon scenes from occuring in a non patreon version of the game. Because it just cuts to a black screen with "Patreon only scene" and a return to menu button that doesn't actually work (Bug) so I am forced to close the game and relaunch every single time I die to the blue haired character which once again, I have no idea how to deal with because I nothing I do closes the curtain. This game seems like it has great potential but maaaaan I feel like I'm being gibbed. You should think of explaining the controls/labeling them in the game itself so there is clear visual reference to what you say in the description. Think like fnaf 4, at the start of a new game there are little overlays on top of every interactable with small tutorials.
I know its a solo dev's project, so all of this might be a tall order to try and fix, but it would definitely help with confusion and keep new people around for longer since the barrier for entry is a lot easier.
Pretty good, the onnnllyyyy thing I have any issue with is the nights feel just a taaaaaddd too long. It feels like anytime I glance up at the clock in the top right after a while and I expect maybe an hour to have passed it simply wont have, and then I check 3 more times until it does pass the hour. Maybe I'm just impatient, maybe I've gotten too comfortable with faster nights from other fangames, idk. That's it really, thx for reading :)
ngl the lighting on the hair is totally whack, I'm on medium graphics with low shadow quality and all the hair options are really bright unless I'm standing in the darkest of spots. I have my hair set to a dark purple but it will stay as a really washed out light purple or just break of become bright white.
-edit- its not just the hair anymore, any and all customization is now a glowing white. And no matter what i do it stays that way, through saves too.
Well, I can at least keep seeing your posts and game as long as I was previously following your account. This post did show up in my feed, along with other NSFW game's posts after the Itch delisting.
So your current audience (who are following you) should still be here but growth of your games audience has more or less been halted because of the delisting :(
found a bug, game wont continue when I leave the room after finding and entering seth's computer. "Loading Error. Failed to load: img/pictures/youshia_24_16c.png"
It prompts me to retry but it just repeats the error and loading over and over without moving on. So I'm stuck for now.
I click download and it says there are no compatible files to download. I'm not using the browser version of itch so that may be the issue but it kinda bugs me if I cant use my library to open the game, rather i have to go into my files themselves and search for it every time i want to open
Ok so I'm redoing this first part of this comment to say that Itch didn't list the new update as an update but rather a seperate download so I didn't realize that it did not auto update with the rest of my library.
I decided to delete the old v0.4 file and reinstall the new one, but it just opens to a white screen, similar to another comment below. My guess is that its the files format.
(my original comment \/ )
I cant seem to find the new scenes. I'm playing on an already finished file (it made me redo a bit of the so-far-ending chunk of going through the stone choose-a-door and the sleep ale part).
If i go back and re do the whole thing, what chapters or sections should I look for the new scenes? also, will they be added to the gallery?
Yeah, I made a comment regarding the AI voice (mainly about claiming that its a voice over) and all I got was a sarcastic remark from the creator saying "Oh, you're right. This is so important for everyone" soooo yeahhhhh.
Better to list it as an AI voice in your notes- I don’t mean to sound rude and I hope I didn’t come off as such in my first comment. It’s a great game with a lot of potential and I look forward to what you make next.
Voice over is just kinda my thing and I was a tad disappointed that it wasn’t an actual VO.
It wont let me download, it says 'no compatible downloads were found"
I'm on windows, so it brings me to the download options but it appears as though there isn't any files to download.
I have the April fools chapter already downloaded from before, so I wonder if having that is preventing me from getting this one?
(EDIT) So I'm able to download it from by browser but not the itch app itself. It works fine, other than it not being apart of my itch library so any updates will have to be manually downloaded and replaced rather then automatic through itch
got it to work and I gotta say,,, WOW! I played the first version you made months back and this is leaps and bounds ahead! You've made incredible progress already :D Now of course the reason I played in the first place is well... porn, duh XD- But outside of that the environment already looks amazing! And the controls feel really fun and arcade-y! I can't wait to see what you'll do next! If I wasn't broke as all hell I'd support the patreon (And I urge any random people reading this to support in my stead).
I don't recognize them from in game.
