Plans for next version...

Well, hadcoded organs - it's not only one change planned in the next version. I spent some time playing and thinking: what is brother me as if I'm a player? Resulting is a possibility of getting Mistress for the house - she will do basic training and also she will be able to do a regular medical checkups. Also if anyone has ideas what Mistress can do also - please tell in the comments.

Another planned feature - ability to give nicknames to the workers. (This will help with the tracking who is who if you have many workers).

61 comments:

  1. While you are at it, maybe make it so that workers are in roster even when they are not present at home? While they are away player is unable to change their schedule, and some tasks, like swimming, make them go outside.

  2. I've got a few ideas that would be good for new version

    - so is there a way for when you start a new game that you can pick what your first proxy is, I've had to reset so many times because I've gotten male proxies each time and male proxies make the game way too difficult at the start

    - to go with that point I don't know if its something on my end but not having a way to reset a game or be able to load up a file in case you screwed up, because other wise players need to close the program and reopen it and that's a waste of time, so a main menu or adding a new game tab and a load game tab in the system tab would be a good way to go about this

    those don't seem like difficult ideas and can help streamline game play

    also I have an idea for a new series of events that I may only make for myself unless other people would like it too, but I need help making the events or understanding how to make them

    1. I would like the ability to re-roll the starting proxy, too. I think the agency should offer several proxies and let you pick which one you want to start with.

  3. How much liter of Tentacle beast semen is 700?

    1. I think its 1400 bottles? as 2 bottles equal 1 liter or I maybe thinking of breast milk at the least 1 bottle equals 1 liter

  4. Hmm... Maybe giving them a nickname will ding their shame a bit, considering any average person would probably dislike anyone not calling them by name.

    Of course a TINY bit of lust training beforehand would reduce the effects.

  5. The mistress could train the proxis that are under 16 years old. when the child is born you could choose what she/he should later become train sport/charisma/int or something like lactation or so. and that the proxi got a benefit when they are adult from the training.

  6. Honestly if you wanter to make the biggest bang for your buck with an improvement I'd add a perk system. The two systems in the game that have the most to improve on, (namely sex and combat.) could benefit most from it but the overall system could really take advantage if you use it correctly.

    Firstly it would give the players something to earn, if you level up this stat enough, say you swim a lot and it improves your endurance a bunch it could give you an athletic perk. giving bonuses to how quickly you lose stamina that lasts after your stat reverts to normal, So while the stat does go down, the lessons you learn about economy of motion from the training do stay and it makes all that training a bit more worth while.

    It would be a way to add psychological ticks like fetishes, or personality quirks. A method of adding skills, and auto generating some different content in interactions. It would allow both npc's in the brothel, and characters as you train them to react differently to the same action or training. Like say they have a breast fetish and so they gain a bit of pleasure from milking themsleves.

    Or they're annerexic and so if they're forced to eat too much will become unhappy and anxious. Then you could add a quest to change ther mind. Or in combat they've lost too many times and have become afraid of combat and might force the player to lose control of the character and have them try and run each turn. Then you need to find a way to conquer that fear in a side quest.

    It also allows for a convenient way to add on flavour text. Like when a proxy examines themself it could give a focus, on what they are most likely to describe and how they see it. Or what type of thing they are likely to find in a particular location.

    It also gives a quick way to set limits and tags that could be used universally as a quick easy means of triggering events. Instead of just running a probability check it runs a modified probability check based off of the characters quirks.

    When tossed onto npcs it gives more options in the available things you could do in a sex menu, or to recruit, or to bargain for deals, or whether you can talk them into doing something without having to do a dozen fetch quests.

    It could also add an extra step to sex and combat, say in sex you have a reputation perk, which motifies if you get special requests from clients. Or if you make more money because of people coming with you in mind. So instead of just you got money for making them cum, you are given the ammount they're satisfied when they leave so you can autopilot, but paying attention unlocks things gives more money and pays rewards. Now what do I mean by paying attention. Each client has preferences and fetishes, and you need to figure out what it is they're into then give it to the, You need to identify their fetish then play to it instead of just spamming tease, then licking or fucking.

    It'll also give lots of options for new text, new feedback and different scenarios aka more content which will come easier. It could also be a reward system, like satisfy ten clients in a day to get the tantric master perk. Which raises your earning and might unlock some new moves. Honestly it just gives you a quick way of making content and adding some rewards as well as add a bit of challenge and variety to the two systems that could stand to be most improved, but that's just my two cents.

  7. Not sure where to comment about this but Cymic womb milk mod causes bad things to happen when you lose to a tentacle beast like the event hanging and needing to be disconnected out of and proxies disappearing and replacing each other and saying 'null' when you try to control them.

    Mistress possibilities maybe a bit of passive shame training? As long as you have one all proxies will slowly start to be more comfortable with lewdness.

    1. You can comment on the latest update, usually checking that one. But I just lost to a tentacle beast and didn't get any errors so I dunno what to say really and my mod didn't touch anything about that event so it is confusing to say the least.

      Don't have ideas other than ones that have been mentioned really, perks would be nice to have.

      Delete
    2. I don't have that mod. I believe there is some sort of bug from losing to a tentacle beast, getting out of the hospital and returning to the mansion. In my case the proxy was listed twice.

      Delete
  8. I don't know if it's possible or even you want to allow it. But perhaps you can change the gui element where the event text is shown to a JEditorPane and set the content type to text/html. So it's possible for authors to generate formated text or other html elements like lists or tables.

  10. Not sure if this is the place to mention this (sorry if it isn't) or if this is a widespread problem or just my inept handling of the patches but I cannot get the magic dildo events to proc after receiving it no matter what I try; when used the message for normal use procs followed by NULL and while vulva enlargement does occur no other flags for the following events will trigger. Is this a known issue or just a bug?
    Thanks for putting so much effort into this game.

  11. Is there a way to personally mod the game so a futa proxy can get pregnant from other futas or themself or is that more of a set thing?

    1. It can be controlled by the gene "fertility.same_sex" - value is a percent of the chance of fertilization between parents with the identical genetic gender.

    2. Thank you! I've been wracking my brain to find the toggle for it.

      Delete
    3. Theoretically speaking a true hermaphrodite should have next to 0% chance of impregnating itself. Although due to the fact that there are not human herms with both sets of organs fully functional. (In the ultra rare cases where humans are born with both sets its always been the case that either the male or female set was incomplete and as a result infertile.)

      I dunno I guess in a fantasy world the rules as we know it may not apply the same. Heheh. So a Futa is considered its own sex in the game code rather than it being both a male and a female?

      Delete
    4. Yes, in the game world futanari (not a herms!) is a full third gender. They has two sets of the sexual organs, and double amount of cells for them formed very early - at the embrio stage. This is also the case that futanari in the game has specific organ to store semen (pouch). These paired cells sets grow to something like this in a futa:

      penis - vagina
      scrotum - labia
      balls - ovaries
      uterus - pouch

      But in the game world in the genes also exist a marker that prevent fertilization with the same gendrer cells. So normally self impregnation or even impregnation of the another futa is almost impossible.

      Delete
    5. where is the gene "fertility.same_sex" I can't find it anywhere?

      Delete
    6. Currently it present in the tentacle beast genome. In other characters genomes gene not present, and game engine use default value for this check - 0. So it's meant 0% chance for same sex fertilization if gene not present visibly.

  12. Thankyou H.Coder for keeping up with the community, and for making this game.

    I haven't seen people give appreciation to you (and the modders for that matter) for making this game recently, so i'd like to take a moment to say thank you for making this game.

  13. Hey, really loving the game but the UI seems way too small for me, the text is kinda hard to read, a lot of the descriptions don't fit into the windows and the 'accept contract' button doesn't show up because the window for the contracts is too small. It's a shame because I really love this game, so if there's anything that could be done about it, it'd be amazing. Keep up the good work!

    1. I tested game on the several resolutions, and GUI displays ok if display resolution at least 1024x800...

      Delete
    2. If you're using Windows 8/8.1/10, the options for DPI scaling on high-res displays just entirely suck. It works fine on a 1366*768 laptop, but almost no amount of fiddling with display options got it to a usable point on a 2048*1536 tablet; turning it down to 1600*1200 helped some but not a whole lot.

      Anyways, if you're using any of the newer Windows OS', go to display settings and try messing with the size or text, etc.

      Delete
    3. It's fine on the lower end resolutions, but going to more modern ones like 1920x1080, 2560x1440, or even 3840x2160 can lead to a lot of scaling issues.

      Mostly with buttons and text being waaay too small to even make things playable.

    4. I don't have monitor with so high resolutions, so I can't test game on them, sorry.

  14. @jimbobvii

    Problem with that is the game running independent of those settings, so even if the Windows settings are correct then the game's text will still be too small to be read.
    I have already messed with all of those settings a while back, and they do not affect the game.


    @H.Coder
    Completely understand that.

    1. It's not a perfect solution (namely, it'll make everything else tiny, including text), but you can get the GUI the way it's supposed to be by right-clicking on the desktop, clicking Screen resolution, go down to 'Make text and other items larger or smaller', and clicking on a smaller size (the default on my tablet is 200%, which fucks up the game UI royally, but turning it down to 125% makes it appear almost exactly as it should; 100% ought to be perfect). Text might be a bit small at anything beyond normal sitting distance, and you'll have to enable/disable it every time you want to play.

      I don't know what's being used to draw the graphics, but I feel as if a large portion of the problem is that the UI elements don't really scale to the set window size of the main window.

    1. Yeah it's in a weird place. Hardcoded organs might take a while and no one wants to release new content before they're out only to have to update it for the new organs.

    2. I’m still working on content. I want to bring out one big update containing my new mod content together with the updated old content. Once the new Hardcoded organs are released I try pushing an update out. Now promises at how quickly it follows. One of the new quest lines has serious issue of scope creep and became a bit larger than originally planned.

  16. The game has absolutely no issues running 1920x1080. I've been doing so ever since I started using this game about a year ago with no problems; both on a big screen tv and a laptop.

    1. I definitely agree. I don't know what Anon means by "scaling issues" but the interface looks perfectly fine, as good as any other program, in 1080 resolution.

      Delete
    2. Again, it's got more to do with the DPI scaling functions in Windows; I don't know about how OSX or various Linux desktops would handle it. If the 'zoom level' for lack of a simpler term, is over 100-125% of the standard value things start looking messy, and the smaller the display gets while maintaining a high resolution (netbooks, tablets, or even notebook-sized 4K displays), the higher Windows sets it by default.

  17. I got an idea for a near by village in the farm region cuse there is only blunka there so why not add new stuff to the farm

    anyway to get the village btn (C# for button) you have get rumer from one of the farmmers somthing like i would like to move to whar ever name you think is best after that you go if femal/futa with ecup breasrt the female farmers form the village mistake you for a little girl yes there breasts are hyper sized basicly y cup z cup hyper a cup hyper b cup ectera ectera.

    1. It was difficult to read your reply, but I think you are talking about a region where larger breasts are more common. I would argue that the kau village covers this already, for the most part.

      Your idea is not particularly well fleshed out, either. If you wish to contribute without writing the code, you should provide a collection of source imagery, all the rooms intended complete with descriptions, and text template concepts for each event. However, I get the impression that writing is not your strong suit, either. It may be best that you just enjoy the content created by others for now.

    2. so basically a macromastia village? isn't that already part of one of the MODs?

    3. Unfortunately you'll find that there is no shortage of ideas. But a shortage of people that know how to implement them, or even, people that care to implement them.

  18. Well, been a while but here we go! Got some new updates there, not as much as I would like but I don't want to do too much to then have it be broken for the eventual next version. This patch adds:
    - Revamped events with Elise + vagina scanner at the base once you talk to her.
    - Vulva Rub sex action dependant on size.(only useable on penises for now)
    - Re-inclusion of the breeders + new squirters in the agency random generation.
    - Some tweaks to kau females for them to have bigger breasts and teats.
    - Option to plug vagina with the magic dildo.(special effect for ones with a great amount of pussy juice/goo)
    - Bloated berries will do additionnal effects depending on the fluids combo in the proxy's womb.
    - Corrected some mistake in the coding I found.(ex: implants removal option wouldn't appear)
    - Maybe some other stuff I forgot, did all of that over about 2-3 months.

    If anyone finds a bug with this patch, I'll be watching the comments so lemme know!

    Have a nice day and have fun all!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Alright, time for a status update. I've figured out how i want to structure the things I'm going to make next.

    I'm going to make a feeding system ( basically a retooled version of the was sex is handled). You'll be able to purchase food around the map and bring it too a person. I'll be adding some other locations for food to facilitate this. Hopefully this will be a good use for money. so far i have the framework in place but it need fleshing out.

    Along with that I'm going to redo how the character Julia works. shes going to start skinny and you're going to be able to make her fat (via the new feeding system). I originally created her just to practice with templates and what not so now this should actually become her real implementation.

    I might also add a dungeon to raid so you can acquire special ingredients for special foods to help in your fattening quest.

    I'm going to redo how i have the self belly rub events. I might make them an interaction similar to how sex is don so rather than have long descriptions of a belly rub you'll be able to choose between rubbing/slapping/lotioning/ whatever.

    I've already implemented an addition to battle that allows you to crush enemies with your huge belly. it make it so that if you have a fat character they're not completely useless in combat.


    I have no ETA but now that i have an actual structure in mind for what i want to do it should go faster than it has been.

  23. Hey, awesome game. Have been playing for some time now and have found a bug which is kinda game breaking.

    Contractor dissappearing bug:

    1. Have 2 or more contractors (I have 2 at the moment)
    2. Proxy first one and move somewhere (ex. hospital)
    3. Quit the proxy so that the character has to move home alone.
    4. Use proxy on second contract and move them also somewhere.
    5. Quit this proxy too.
    6. Now you should have no contractors on the list when you are home
    7. Press the next hour button several times.
    7. First contractor should return home normally. The second contractor dissappears completely. No messages or anything. Now I only have first contractor left on the list.

    ReplyDelete
  24. This is to my previous comment about contractor dissappearing bug:

    After playing around some I realized that at some point my second contractor had lost her contract. How? I do not know but her contract text was replaced by text: "No contract, developer mode or cheating. :)"

    But I have not used dev more or any cheats while playing. Strange. Anyways, here is the save if you want to test for yourself. I think I forgot to put it to last comment.

  29. One suggestion I would like to see added is to the Alert message you get when a proxy quits. All it says is they don't like it here and they're quitting. If it would actually tell you the name of the person quitting that would be awesome. As it stands now you have to search through the list and figure it out on your own.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think some sort of system or module to identify where a girl is in her cycle would be really helpful. As it currently stands the only way to tell is watch for the chat text that shes having her monthly "troubles", but this text is a really low priority so if she has basically anything else to tell you then you won't get the message and on top of that you have to spend basically the entire month attempting to activate her which gets really annoying if you have a bunch of females and since this game seems to be focused towards managing a lot of characters... it just seems a bit counterproductive to have something that has to be micromanaged so much.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Suggestion in regards to "Fun House" and "Fetish Cafe". The option of how proxy handles oral sex would be nice. Either facial, swallow or avoid. Would also be nice to establish a means for maintaining "hygiene", constantly having to return to training for "cleaning" gets dull and repetitive.
