A point and click adventure in a naughty alien critter riddled island. · By
That is the idea, like I wrote in the update log, the idea on using community posts is to both better organize topics, like distinguishing between random discussions, ideas and bugs, and at the same time reducing the number of crap bots spamming the comments and putting people at risk.
Unfortunately, I do not have the time to always timely respond to feedback and ideas, but I do hope that by better organizing this same feedback, we will have an easier time participating in the discussion, since personally, I find the sharing of ideas and opinions to be one of the crucial points of this remake :).
That's good, I was worried for a second. 😅
I got some ideas for bosses and an archive of my old ideas whenever you have the time to reading them.
I hope you get the break you deserve! :)
Some opinions on the backgrounds indicate they do not match the tone of the original, which is fair, they are indeed more colorful and less photo-realistic, so we’re testing with saturation of the images to find a sweet spot between tone and keeping the new artstyle.
This is an example of the Forest background with less 30% saturation, let me know if it looks better, worse or if we should increase/decrease saturation.
The left version looks better I think its like a good balance between the new art and getting closer to the previous tone but personnally I dont mind too much, I actually like having some regions less gloomy than before (There is a little bug walking on my screen its annoying...) any way what where I saying? xD I think the left side for forest is great, for other regions it may depend, like the cabin could stay as it is because its home and you gotta feel safe at home but sewer and Swamp could use a little more i guess because the vibe there is more prone to it (now the bug is flying around me always passing between my eyes and my screens, she better stop or i will activcate Rambo mode agaisnt her) So yeah, I guess its a qustion of which regions should inspire what feelings according to previous version and the music of regions can help having something that match the tone of it.
The more I look at it and yeah the left side look really great in comparison of the right side which look too much vibrant, especially the green which pop a lot on the right side so yeah difinitely the left side is better (Alright im done, the bug just has made her last lap, because now i wont rest until she fall asleep, difinitely...)
You might want to move these ideas to the Ideas and Requests topic, otherwise their more likely to be forgotten in this topic as it is aimed for general discussion :).
Thanks, ill surely become the best Electrician the world have seen an Electrian which also make some game on the side for fun or maybe ill even do stream on the side Ive been thinking about it, I literraly stopped Devil May Cry after completing the first one cause i thaught i could be great to play them all on stream instead for the first time but didnt made the jump yet.
Ive tested every sleep schedule lol i can relate, If i had to tell i would say im in a funny situation where I like to sleep but i dont like to go to sleep xD so im always pushing the moment where i go to sleep and once im sleeping im pushing the moment where i wake up so it create a weird situation where each day i wake up later so i also go to sleep later and it just go on and on and on. xD and sometime i got something to do so i break the cycle and it start over from a new point.
24h is just not enough for me lol, why cant we have 36 hours a day instead? Then i would have no problem. xD
Also an other funny thing is nothing is waking me up unless i have at least 5 hours of sleep its like my minimum to be able to wake up normally, less than that i need an other person to wake me up because no amount of alarm will work, my family hate me (especially my brother who is in the room next to mine), because I usually have twenty alarm ready to wake me up. x) They know very well the song "Rigthfully" from Goblin Slayer now i guess since its the one waking me up five time in a row most of the time lol.
We always appreciate the offer :). The need may vary, but if you would like to offer an hand in anything specific, like the backgrounds for example, that would be a very helpful hand :D.
As you’ve mentioned the backgrounds in specific, do you have an idea in mind, or some edit you would like to do to them generally speaking?
I just noticed there was some comments and discussion with the use of AI and also adapting those with original artworks (definitely a time saver) to make the new backgrounds.
My take as it were ( not just for backgrounds (just used It as an example)) would be to add some texture (inside cabin is the better background art in my opinion)
Like the sewer for example to give the rocks more texture, cracking , moss/growths to the sides , darker interior/ brighter highlights to show light isn't exactly prevent inside there, possibly not as a whole new background piece but something that can be like overlayed given a trigger such as 0 lust/lewd makes it dark, dreery mossy, not a nice place to be, 1<3 gives it a bit more light , less of a scary place to be and as the lewd/ero rises it's more of a appealing place to be as the main heroine would want to be there so she sees it's a nicer place.
But I would say a more texture generally would be a plus, some random pieces that dont belong like dead trees, a pipe here and there , or some crashed out plane parts in the forest would add some essence to the world , barring all of that , whack a noise filter on , maybe a high pass , add some Gaussian blurr and job done 👍🏻
Just a failed art students opinion
Currently not sure. Progress these past weeks has been slow so it has been difficult to keep the ideal schedule.
The new H scenes have not yet been implemented, but the background work is about 50% done I think. Other miscellaneous features are partially done (like the quick save/load feature), however there are a few items missing yet, scenes aside.
oh, now I get it.
Well, I've looked it over and there are quite a few ideas for the game and the beach promotion. you can take a look and add a few. as far as I remember, there's an octopus, a clam, fish, dolphins, and maybe two or three others that I can't remember(.
Anyway, there are plenty of ideas for the beach.
Hey everyone.
Incase you don't know, I'm Eroism's CG editor and I've been practicing my photoshopping skills on other Atera's artwork.
Do you guys think it's paying off, or should I keep practicing?
no worry, well expression looks fine to me honestly they match the situation so its really great, well done! Cant really tell in detail tho because its a bit small so I cant tell if there is something off with your photoshop but it looks fine to me from what I can see by folding my eyes very hard. x)
Ive been investigating this matter a lot today and well im just mad now, its stupid they even want or I think they tried to take down Detroit Become Human because its displaying child abuse so to me they just dont have more credibility than people saying earth is a sphere (couldnt resist, im kidding xD, just imagine I said flat instead) so I do hope payment provider realize they listen to the wrong people. Any way lot of poeple are also really mad about it because why the hell a payment provider company get to decide what they can play or not? What are they gonna attack after nsfw game if we let them do? That kind of stuff, so I really hope it get sorted out by a sheer amount of people rising against it.
Any way, I indeed have no idea what would happen if the game page would be closed like right now, I would be kind of lost i guess, I think Eroisme gave some info about it in here tho: Recent de-listing of adult games on Itch
The game is already available in another site. I’ve added a link to it on the De-listing post :).
I can understand your opinion, the backgrounds were more divisive than I though they would be. I’ve seen both love and hate for them :P.
On the next update we’ve reduced saturation by 10-30% to make them look less vibrant and did some tweaks by hand, hopefully, that will improve their look for most people.
I’ve already expressed the reasons for the change, but I’ll make a duplicate here for general information, but still everyone is allowed to disagree, this was our choice in the end :).
Technical Reasons:
I no longer have access to the generative model used to create the original backgrounds, meaning that any new background will have to have a different style, and I would like to have everything of the same style.
The previous backgrounds, also generated by AI, were more “photorealistic pastel” looking which makes their colors, light and shadows very complex. As a non-artist, this makes those backgrounds very hard to change, and with update 1.20 introducing the island map, we wanted to give continuity to the backgrounds and make them feel as part of the same place. Flat color art styles are way easier to edit for people with less skills.
Personal Reasons:
I never liked the previous backgrounds, but was the model I could get with the least errors in images as possible while still looking fairly similar to the original game.
IMO, a more cartoonish style fits better with Leah’s appearance and item icons than the previous backgrounds. For me they always felt a bit out of place, like something trying to look more realistic when everything else was way more “drawn”.
Thank you for the feedback :D!
You can find the new content on the update devlog :).
https://eroism.itch.io/insect-prison-remake/devlog/987318/insect-prison-remake-update-v125
We briefly considered including some or parts of those stories in the remake, as a way of extending the story, but with the unavailability of using his other CGs we gave up on the idea. I also don’t know if Atela is at any point thinking of turning them into a game as well :P.
That said, we would really like to create a naughty “alien” world from scratch, so I think any future project will be original work and not an adaptation. Your ideas will be welcomed in a any new project of ours :).
Hey The_nuggetVE,
Thanks for the care, everything is fine now a days :). Currently we’re overseas in work, and as such, neither me nor Grey will be able to work on the game during September :/. We will be back to working on version 1.30 on October :D.
I’ll still come here once in a while during September to answer questions and discuss ideas :).
