itch.io

A very crude implementation:

const gainHp = Game_Actor.prototype.gainHp;
Game_Actor.prototype.gainHp = function(value) {
  if (value > 0) PlugPlug.vibe.pulse(0.5, 0.1, 1.0); // onDuration, offDuration, ...patterns
  return gainHp.call(this, value);
};

You could make it vary by damage dealt or, by looking at this.result or Game_Action.prototype.apply, take various other damage properties into account.

I think someone wired up a dildo to act as input device before, but that’s not what this library is concerned with. Pretty sure Buttplug (the library by qDot that this wraps) only does output.

I’m currently working on adapting support for “linear” features which includes advanced strokers and also fucking machines. The latter may be what you’re looking for if you want to move a dildo back and forth, but they’re usually large pieces of furniture and quite expensive.

You can just put the modified function in the comments here, ideally in a markdown code block.

I may not get around to updating this entirely quickly, and this way anyone else can use it too until then. (I’ll add a reply if/when I integrate it directly.)

If you see 0.2.7 in the version history: No, you don’t.

(It’s a broken release, I tried to fix a potential issue I noticed, but it didn’t work correctly.)

If the translation software isn’t failing me…

While there is no full walkthrough for the delivery task that I know of, you can check the deliveries in the key item inventory. The item descriptions tell you who should receive them.

I think what Eben’gradec means is that there’s a bit of missing and errant green outline in the edited version, just below the centre of the image.

Looks like it may have been not fully adjusted to the new shape.

Some of the corruption events are repeatable, like losing to the slugs or getting slime-suited for example.

It will appear there after progressing through the game far enough (if Wizz examined it already).

How exactly did you check? Even if your hardware/computer is 64-bit, your OS may still be 32-bit. (This error can’t be caused by plugins.)

Version 0.1 of the game is 32 bits, version 0.108 is 64 bits.

There is one other possibility… which operating system are you using?

Edit: It seems that the update may be incompatible with Windows 7/8/8.1. I’ve contacted the devs about a possible fix that doesn’t undo most optimisations, so hopefully one of the next patches will work for you again.

(I updated my earlier reply.)

Their grapple causes it (instead of repeating until game-over), so the Present Yourself option is the fastest way. You may need over 50 STM initially, so that there’s no game-over from the first round.

They will also do it after stripping all armour and arousing Grove though, so once Grove’s posture is broken (<50% HP), he’s in danger of it happening involuntarily.

It works for me, so it’s most likely that the download got corrupted somehow.

Edit: Apologies! I misread the error message.

Your operating system is 32-bit and the updated runtime is 64-bit. According to messages in the Discord, the devs are aware of this issue and are looking into restoring compatibility. (There is a 32-bit version of the updated NW.js runtime that can be used.)

Might take a little while.

Thanks in advance for looking into it.

I make one of the clients that supports Oscillate (a middleware library/plugin), but unfortunately it’s definitely something that needs to be authored separately in terms of content.

Great work! I’m going to (privately) mention this to a few streamers who may be interested.

Have you considered supporting Oscillate as a second channel?
It has the same semantics as Vibrate, just controlling specifically speed instead.

Yes, same problem that DillPexe had. Head back to the cliffside where you first gain control of Grove at the very beginning of the game and from there you can head southwards.

This may be slightly unclear in the flowchart. In the part titled “Post-Game 0.12” here, there are two possible paths and you must take both (in either order)!

That means you should head south-west from the Quiet Meadow for now.

Thanks 😊

Feels free to check the code, it’s actually pretty readable. Some things I did aren’t entirely ideal though, like how I used shearing on the connections so much.

I’m sorry to disappoint, but: ShareX to make screenshots and Visual Studio Code as text editor.

I wrote some CSS rules to do semi-automatic layout for me, and the content is written directly as HTML.
The layout is largely grid-based, but intentionally overflows containers in order to enable further relative positioning.

To my knowledge, there is no software tool that can make this sort of layout automatically for you.
I’ll ask around a bit, though. There’s a chance some visual tool exists that’s good for making this sort of thing manually.

Hey! Sure, I’m just @qazm on there. I may respond with a delay sometimes, but generally within a day.

(For anyone else reading this: please tell me why you’re contacting me and if I know you from somewhere in the first message. I’m not opposed to DMs from strangers, but the experience may be disappointing for you if you don’t frontload that info.)

They can be found in one of the houses near the collapsed bridge, before entering the cave. (I think you can go back to find them until you rescue the blacksmith, at which point they return to the Quiet Meadow on their own.)

I finally managed to catch up… This is good. Very good.

The level of strangeness feels right in a way that’s difficult for me to put into words, but I can say that it doesn’t feel arbitrary. You’ve found a good balance between explaining things and presenting them as they are for the reader to interpret or remember for later.

I think that, from a technical/skill point of view, the recent days are done a bit better than the first ones, but the difference isn’t so large that it would be jarring.

If you’d like your sprite workflow to be more efficient, you could look into Layered Images. That would avoid having to export each possible combination individually. I’m not really clear on how they work, though, or if there are any reasons you might want to avoid using them.

Yes, once you fully catch up with the current story, you can visit the gallery on that save. The game will directly tell you how to find it once you reach that point.

Gallery unlocks are shared between saves, so if you missed anything, you can do it on an earlier save and it will unlock immediately.
(There are hints in the gallery.)

I wouldn’t recommend going for the porn out of context, as much of it doesn’t make as much sense (read: isn’t as hot) when removed from the story.

You already went all the way east and got the scene where you can’t go further, right? Try to cross the glowing sigil that you went past on the way there, where the large green slime puddle is.

Please check the ‘Windows’ symbol for the download when you edit the project page here on itch. That way, the game can be installed through the itch.io app (which makes it a lot easier to play on Linux through Proton).

Looking forward to discovering the update.

Edit: Though, it seems Proton is unable to run games made with this engine. (Selecting the correct platform would still be useful.)

I’ll have to wait until I have access to a Windows PC again next week, then.

Check the item descriptions in your key item inventory; these should say where to deliver them.

That was very fun! I think I got nearly everything, but I don’t see outfit #3 for Varahn or Jasper in the bestiary.

There are a few places I got slightly out of bounds, but the only one I got stuck in was the gate after Banshee’s trial, since I managed to walk out by clicking and couldn’t get back in.

A slightly spoilery request regarding the gallery after the break:
.
.
.
.
.
Since the “Helping out Beagle” scene variants are mutually exclusive, could you extend them in the gallery to include the dialogue that follows? I’d like to see how Jasper would act after that misadventure.

The -pc version is playable natively on Linux too (since it has the .sh launcher), but it currently has to be extracted manually there.

If you also select Linux for it like so, it’ll be installable using the itch.io app (which makes that a lot easier on touchscreen devices):

In any case, at first glance this looks interesting, so I’ll try to give it a read soon.

The first should be part of the main story, but it may depend on whether you go north or south first once you get the titanium.

For the second, lose to a Primal Jungle Slug.

It's possible that one of the other plugins interferes with it.

Also, make sure to save the file and then restart the game! I sometimes forget to.

You also have added it in line 24 accidentally here. It likely won't work if you add it more than once.

The plugin also needs to be enabled in plugins.js, usually by the game's creator using the editor.

You can paste the following line into that file to enable it for (most) existing RPG Maker MV and MZ games though, after pasting Qz_AutoAdvance.js into js/plugins/:

{"name":"Qz_AutoAdvance","status":true,"description":"","parameters":{}},

(Towards the end of the $plugins array, among the other plugins. It should be clear once you open it with a plaintext editor.)

I'm currently reconsidering whether the format is sustainable, since I most likely won't be able to update the chart before the next GROVE update arrives.

(The chart is hand-written in HTML without a visual editor, since I haven't found an editor that can do this. Unfortunately, this approach scales badly to larger charts, and each update also requires what amounts to around five or six complete playthroughs of the game. I don't currently expect to be in a position where either would be feasible for me any time soon.)

Maybe we could crowdsource this somehow? I currently don't have the time or spare energy to organise that, either, but it would be less work per person.

It's a file permission issue. The itch.io app sets this up correctly automatically, but if you use the archive, just run `chmod +x chrome_crashpad_handler` in that folder or make that file executable through its property dialogue.

I'm not sure why Chromium (which is used as runtime here) doesn't handle this automatically, because it very easily could, but alas.

You can unlock the missing entries in another save file.

The unlocks are shared, so if you meet the conditions in a save that's only partway through the game, the entry will still immediately unlock in your complete save.

(Interact with each locked gallery entry if you need hints.)

I'm not entirely sure which point you mean. Is your question about a part that's still charted here, or about content from the newer update?

(I asked for the Windows version to also be tagged for Linux for now, since that makes it much easier to install and it seems to run well with Wine/Proton.)

I tweaked the default settings a bit after recording, so by default the base delay is now 90 (1.5 seconds) and the character delay is 2.5 (2.5 seconds / 60 characters).

The GIF was recorded with base delay 60 (1 second) and character delay 2.0 (2.0 seconds / 60 characters), which is most likely a bit too fast for a comfortable first read.

That's cool! The UI took me a bit, but the mechanics are at a good point of "it's clear if you think about it", imo. I also like the presentation quite a bit.
(However, I am somewhat familiar with the underlying concept.)

Will there be specific goals in the future?
