I hate to be the guy who just comes by and complains, I really do, but you have to add some kind of auto release. I am completely softlocked in Lamia.

I have T-4.5,V-5.7 and have been stuck since day 12. It's day 34. It takes all 8 stamina to get her head into the second stomach most of the time meaning multiple attempts to even try getting out and by that point, amelia is either from 0->9 lust or is exhausted and demands sleep both of which lead directly to lamia waking up and right back down I go. I am at the point of assuming that being eaten by lamia is a game loss condition as the only option to get out is to reload an earlier save. 

I learned from last time and upped my stats before trying to take this one (and coming here to complain) and it has made no difference. 

The new pictures are nice though. Keep up the good work.

Does Simple Load not suffice?  I understand there's an information overload so even knowing about some functionality in-game can be difficult, but using Simple Load to get Amelia back outside is one of its main functions.  Depending on if you're in-game or on the main menu, use Load/Load Game button, find your save file, and use the 'Simple Load' button instead of 'Load' to soft reset many things and put Amelia back on her diary space.  Unless what you're requesting is totally different, but it sounds like you just want a way to freely get out and see other content.

Kept getting soft-locked on the consensual preds because I couldn't escape once I was willing, before I found out that you could struggle your way out. Other than that (And getting stuck in the Lamia) I have nothing but praise for the game! I like the art, the mechanics, and the button layout (I play on tablet) 


The only things I'm curious about are: 

1: Is there going to be any type of vore other than oral? I love all kinds, so no worries there, just simple curiosity.

2: Are there going to be ways to travel past/through the mountains or deep water eventually? I they'll have some use later, and was just a bit curious about them is all.

Thanks!

I think I will add some kind of periodic diary to send that will say Amelia is willing and can't escape.  Hopefully that will clear up the seemingly soft-locked scenario with Neko girl for some.

1. Only one that'll be drastically different is Slime girl.  I don't know if absorption is a fully accurate way to title it(?), but her liquid form would surround Amelia in order to consume her.

2. The deep water will hide some of the end-parts of the map, and Amelia can eventually learn how to swim through them once Mermaid gets added.  Besides that, the map does just kind of end.  I wouldn't want too much open space without predators roaming it.

If you cant get out of the consensual preds you can drop Amelia's mood and drive with the cramped option. When you see "pretend struggle" change back to normal you can escape by either the escape option or struggling a few times in a row.

The cramped button is click-able? I thought I couldn't interact with it since it was all dark, I've just been spamming "ask to be let out" to ruin my mood. Thanks for the advice though!

I have an idea/question, do you plan to add a level up system in the game? If not I feel like it would be a cool thing to try out. 


Side note: this game is great! I'm usually not into text adventures but this one is actually really fun. The dialogue is amazing too! Great work!

Thanks!  

I don't see any level up system getting added.  It's not as glamorous as a level up might be in other games, but Vigor and Technique do help Amelia gradually become stronger and beat away some of the bad luck moments that can happen.  Next update will give these stats a lot more value as they're very important for Essence Collection.

When will the gallery be ready?

It should be ready for v0.8 actually, I hope people will like it.  A vote held on the Discord server suggests that a good majority of people want some sort of unlock function which I still need to figure out, but besides that the Gallery functionality is ready to go for v0.8 where all images in-game are accessible from it.  

Any eta on release for 0.8

It's more and more likely to be by the end of this month.  I still need to finish some things and give testers at least a few days to try out v0.8 and fix reported items before it'll be ready.

Thank you

Game is amazing! I was totally floored by all of the variations in dialogue and visuals and I can see a lot of effort in the game. The content and writing is also just my wavelength, this game is great and I can't wait to see more!

how to unlock pleasant, energetic and revealing bikini? 

They are currently impossible to get.  Once new Consensual Predators get added, the bikini that they teach will accompany them.  Only 1 bikini type is potentially taught from each Consensual Predator.  Next release will hide these buttons better to avoid confusion.

Is there a discord I can join to be kept up to date?

Yessum.  Link is available in-game, check out the Main Menu's 'Social and Support the Dev' button.

I like the game too mucho and i wanna know, when IS the next update?

Probably by the end of this month, but it's still too early to know exactly.  I'm working on 2 characters for v0.8, so the time between updates is longer on this one.

Ok, what is the two characters?

Fairy and Harpy.  Fairy is under a new category besides Consensual and Apex Predator since she actually doesn't eat and instead becomes prey to Amelia.  Harpy will be an Apex Predator and will have similar behaviors.

Finally, the faries, yay!

Будет ли новое существо в следующим обнавлении?

Of course!  In fact, there might even be two!  Because there's two though, the next update is going to take a while longer.  I think by the end of this month (June).

Whew that lamia amirite? Tough cookie but I think if you level up your struggle enough you should be able to escape. I was never able to but I loaded into a new save and went straight to her without leveling up first so that was probably a problem. I think a way to get around the eternal lamia belly prison is for Amelia to be "digested" and then reformed at the starting point that way you can go to other preds and level up first. 

I was able to do it with 1-1 stats. Still a tough scenario though, but doable. Had to check the tips section to figure it out though.

Fun game, can't wait for the next pred to show. Question though, do you have any plans for aquatic pred/s? A couple ideas have floated around in my head.

Yes eventually those deep water tiles will have something lurking in them.

(1 edit)

I'm giddy with anticipation. I've been playing since release. Glad I stuck with it too. The bear was uber annoying until Fitria was added. Couldn't get away from him.

Do you have an estimated release date on the next update?

A midpoint version 0.75 is getting limited release to testers on the Discord server to get some feedback.  Fairy right now is essentially complete, but Harpy still has a lot of work to be done.  Next upload to itch will be v0.8 with Fairy and Harpy.  It may be another month from now due to how much there might be in this update compared to previous updates, but I'll know better once Harpy is better underway.

Ok thank you

I like this game

Yeah I quit...this is just absurd...

Is it even possible to escape the stupid Lamia!?  EVERY TIME I THINK I'M ABOUT TO SUCCEED SHE PULLS ME BACK INTO HER FIRST STOMACH! AND THE FRQUENCY IN WHICH SHE AUTOPULLS YOU INTO HER SECOND STOMACH IS RAGE INDUCING TO PUT IT MILDLY! ... Ahem I apologize for the outburst but it's like you either put no thought whatsoever into  balancing her out in terms of difficulty or you just made her impossible to escape from. honestly if I quit it'll be because of the stupid lamia. please either balance her out so that she's more reasonable to deal with, have scene where she lets you out if your there for too long, or at least let us have an option to remove certain predators. Because this is absurd and has more or less rendered the game unpayable.

(1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for the feedback, though I don't think this game, or most things in life, is worth 'rage'ing over.  I'd recommend finding a different outlet to let some of the 'rage' out if needed.

I put in a lot of time testing my own game.  Sometimes the smallest change can ruin something very important, which is why I had to update to 0.71 right away, but regarding Lamia I confirmed myself that escape is possible many times.  I also let people generous enough to offer their time to test and give feedback on Lamia play the game for a whole week before this release and the general response was that Lamia is in a tough, but good position.

The testers I have do seem to be of the 'hard core gaming' breed, as there have certainly been a number of suggestions and complaints regarding Lamia's difficulty since this version's release.  Not sure if you'd be pleased to know(?), but Lamia will be easier in the next version release.  

Hope you'll give it another shot sometime down the road if you like some of what the game has to offer.  The game is constantly evolving, it'll be very rare that I get everything right on the first go around.  There are tools available in-game to help reduce what some may find annoying parts of the game like Simple Load, Debug menu, and the tip screens to know exact predator locations to avoid them if desired.

When do the tests for the 1.8 actually start, I would like to take part in them, if I am allowed

Thanks for the interest!  

There's no exact date yet, but maybe in about a week.  I kind of require that Discord be available for use though so all discussion about it can be contained in one spot, so if you can join my Discord server for this game (a link to this can be found on the Main Menu's 'Support the dev and Social Links' button) that'd be the first step.  I pretty much approve anyone who's interested in testing, so really that's all that would be required, just send a message in the general chat saying you're interested in testing and I'll give you a role for it.

Is there a plan for digestion or a digestion mode?

Not from me.  When the game reaches the end of development I'll make it open source and if someone would like to continue from that point it might be possible.

how to escape the Lamia…

well I have suggest, maybe some pred maybe be kind to Amelia after she successfully find the willing sense? also idk there bug but if u likely drain her mood and sanity…and the game just not let u do anything 

We'll see about a predator like that specifically.  There is one planned that won't force Amelia at all, where Amelia will need to be willing from the start.

How about a friendly pred? I suggest next character is a kitsune.

Вот я в России и как мне вас поддержать деньгами?

Thanks for considering the support!

If you're already here on itch.io, simply paying for the game would help me, and also helps the website that holds this game since data isn't free.

You can find other means on the main menu through the button called "Support the dev and Social".

Но я готов попробывать способы которые вы предложите.

pretty fun game. only thing i would change is making the "let's escape" option one where they help each other making it easier to escape/get out.

Thanks!

This will change depending on who the Consensual Predator is.  Some will help Amelia escape first before getting themselves out, though the amount that do this from the total that eventually make it in-game will be on the lower side, as most will be looking out for themselves first.  I know for sure of at least 1 that will, but some ideas don't manifest until I'm actually working on them.  If there's only one Consensual Predator that ends up doing this, I may change Bunny girl up a bit to behave this way too.

How do i get both concentual in one pred sry for all the questions 

(+1)

The game doesn't allow for that.  If it does happen by accident, it will cause errors and potentially break the game.  Due to how many possibilities there could be once more Consensual Predators get added, it is limited to Amelia + 1.  If I allowed Amelia + 2 or more, the total images would continue to multiply by all Consensual Predators in the game and get out of control.  Each consensual predator has about 20 share stomach images if only Amelia needs to be worried about.  If I needed to worry about making it so up to 3 were in the same image, and lets say there's a total of 6 consensual predators, that suddenly becomes 20 x 3 x 6, or 360 images.  That doesn't take into account the dialogue required to describe it.  Add another and it becomes even worse, so for the sake of the scope of the game this is not possible.

My math could be off, but TLDR: the scope of the game needs to be limited, so this is not possible.

Ok thank you again sorry for all the questions

Lamia is WAY TO HARD. It is impossible to get enough drive. I use it like four times in a row and maybe only one of  them doesn't lower it instead of raising it. I even tried using the driven bikini, but it broke before I even made it close. At some points, I have to fondle to even use brood which makes no sense. This needs fixing. I love the game, but this is way more annoying than fun.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll consider it if adjustments seem necessary.

I tried to offer the Debug menu in-game as a way to make it more casual or easier for those less interested in actually playing a game.  If you're having some difficulty, I'd suggest using that.  I want to strike a fair balance, but at the end of the day I do want a game that offers some challenge instead of being reduced down to a slide show or story telling by removing all challenge.

If Amelia's Mood is too low, then she can't do Brood.  It's part of the resource management required in keeping Amelia in a good state.  This has been around since the start of the game.  When Fairies get added they may offer an alternative, but to allow Brood with 0 Mood kind of defeats the purpose.

Thanks for the tips. BTW, there is no interface in the pred info for lamia. just thought I'd let you know.

She's there, you just need to scroll down a bit.  The list is longer than the base size of that window now that 5 predators occupy it.

Thanks

What preds can i do both consetual preds

All except Snake and other Consensual Predators.

Bug .7: When Feeding a predator together with Fitria, if she goes first, when you join her, if she swallows you, the buttons become when you're interacting with her in the open world, if you chose anything, the inside the pred buttons reappear, and you're not swallowed by Fitria anymore. None of the buttons work properly. This last state is also what happens when she goes first but does not swallow you.

This is fixed with version 0.71, I'd highly suggest updating.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ahah, would help if I checked the description for updates instead of just the comments. Thanks!

A New Apex huh? Ok but... I am curious, when Will the faries be added? I like the game but i feel linda bad for amelia, she only get swallowed and never had the chance to be the pred 😞.

I will try for v0.8, but no promises.

Is there going to be more the just oral vore?

From me, basically no.  The one exception is going to be when Slime girl gets added.  Will do absorption/surround body for that due to liquid form.  Eventually when the game is complete on my end, I'll make the source code public if someone else would like to add onto it.

Да склоняться небеса и я скажу:

(Спасибо вам!!)

Haha thanks.  Hey I just updated the files to version 0.71 due to a critical error.  If the timing is poor and you currently have version 0.7, I'd highly suggest updating!

Do you plan to add sound?

I have no plans to at this time.  Main reasons being the time required and also I'm not confident in the execution of the sound in-game actually improving it.

Ok thank you

I have another question regarding version 0.7, when will it be released? I'm eagerly waiting for it xD

(+1)

Tomorrow is very likely, as long as no major issues are found from testers today. 

Hey, ich bin ein großer Fan Ihres Spiels und wollte fragen, ob ich zukünftige Versionen wie 0.7 ausprobieren könnte, um es zu testen, um Fehler und mehr zu finden. Ich möchte, dass dieses Spiel für jeden einfach zu spielen ist und helfe Ihnen gerne dabei

Certainly!  Although it would require Discord if that's okay?  If you click the button on the main menu in-game called 'Support the dev and Social Links', there is a yellow link in there to join a Discord server I run.  Discord is required for easy communication and a way to organize all discussion to one area.

Version 0.7 is basically done being tested, but if you would like to join the Discord server in the meantime anyway, you can be ready to go for when version 0.8 needs testing.

Deleted post

The update is really close to ready, but I don't want to risk rushing it as the volunteers who are testing the game could use the time to finish doing that.  I will be 1-3 days late because of that, somewhere between the 6th and 8th of May.

Добрый вечер хотел спросить, про версию 0.7 в этой версии будет ли  добавлена Ламия?

Yes, Lamia will be the main addition next update.

i've found a bug while trying to get neko and bunny girl in the same belly, if you go to neko girl to feed a predator (any that can accomodate 2 preys) and then ditch her and go see cat girl, you can't talk to her or other predators (you can fast travel to her like once or twice but it also breaks after).

Thanks for letting me know.  A fix has already been implemented for this and next version shouldn't have this issue.

If your save file is broken because of this, you will have to wait for the next version or unfortunately have to start a new game for now.  Simple Load does not fix this issue with v0.6, but it will for v0.7.

How long will there be before version 1.0? 

И можно ли писать по русски?

The version number is perhaps arbitrary, but I go up by 0.1 for each predator that is added.  Version 0.7 should be in about a week, and after that each update tends to take about a month. so maybe in a few months?

I won't personally be writing or translating to any other languages as I don't have the time to do that.  This may unfortunately have to wait until the game is completely finished and I release the source code for someone to volunteer to do it.  I've looked into my options for this like having Google Translate do translation in real time as the game is running, but it's not free so I can't.  There are free programs out there though that essentially take a screen shot of the game and translate it if you want to consider looking into those for now.

I'm just using a translation program, but I meant that if I can ask in Russian that there won't be any other languages, I understand at least from you:) 

Hello i would just like to ask after hours of trying to find her where the new neko girl is how to encounter her

(1 edit)

If it's taking hours you may have run into a bug with the current version that causes issues.  If you visited Snake while a Consensual Predator is prey to Snake and you don't know them, it kind of breaks the game unfortunately.  This should be fixed next version (need to do testing).

If you've done this or aren't sure, you may need to start a new game, or wait for the next update to use that save file.  

Start a new game, then keep an eye on Predator Info at the bottom.  Wait for Neko girl to be prey to a predator, then find that predator.  Can enable Debug buttons in the options menu if you already did content and want to speed it up.  Be careful with 'Max All Relations' if you do though, as it might cause some Neko girl content to get skipped.

All right thank you for the help 

So ive found the neko girl and she has ate me but i cant get out because everytime i try she bites down onto me and i can only hold until i run out of stamina. Is there a different method instead of just attempting escape or am i doing something wrong?

Amelia needs to not be willing in order to escape a Consensual Predator.  The dialogue usually hints at this, but if the red button says 'Pretend Struggle' instead of 'Struggle' then Amelia is indeed willing.  If you hit 'Cramped' until Mood goes below 7 or Drive goes below 5 Amelia will become unwilling and then you can either get out through Escape or doing enough damage with Struggle.

Oh alright thank you for telling me! Was this a feature i missed before or one that came with the neko girl in the update?

I suppose my last comment is slightly inaccurate upon thinking about it.  The reason you can escape Bunny girl while willing is because a behavior I'm aiming for with her is that she is doing it for fun.  So if Amelia 'Ask for Freedom' or does 'Escape' after a certain amount of time as prey, the Bunny girl will ask and cooperate in getting Amelia out if interested.

Neko, meanwhile, is playing for keeps, so 'Ask for Freedom' and 'Escape' do not cause her to ask if Amelia wants out at any time.  Since she's only the second Consensual Predator to get added I can see how this flip in behavior can be jarring, but hopefully the mechanics of the game make more sense as more predators get added.

The two available Consensual Predators are on opposite sides of the spectrum.  Future Consensual Predators will likely fit in somewhere in the middle where there'll likely be another way to escape while Amelia is still willing, though not as numerous as Bunny girl.

For every Consensual Predator: escape is possible while Amelia is unwilling through either Struggle damage or passing Escape enough times.

Besides that: Depends on the specific Consensual Predator.  Less serious predators will offer to let Amelia out (Bunny girl) while more serious ones are less likely or won't at all (Neko girl)

The art is great and I do like the idea, but dear god is escaping way to difficult. Max Vigor, Max technique, max Drive =  5 mins of trying escape with 1 energy left meaning you get eaten again immediately. And get to spend another 10 min just to have it happen again. Is much easier and faster to just start over after being eaten by a pred and go find another one than to even bother trying to escape.

Balance is always a concern and I try to make small adjustments if there are issues.  For the latest update I heard Neko was too tough, but you're saying all predators?  With Vigor and Technique maxed, the success rate in the game ranges from 90% to at worst 75%.  Pure RNG probably isn't great, but to get 4 successful attempts out of 8 with those odds shouldn't be too difficult.  Sometimes you get a -1 to progress, but that should be rare, unless something else is happening that I'm not aware of.

If you have a specific suggestion as to how it could be easier I can consider it.  

A reminder that you can take advantage of Simple Load if you do want to keep your progress while doing this instead of totally starting over.  Simple Load will put Amelia outside on the space containing her diary.

I hit the snake as first predator and wrote the comment venting my frustrations there. I got away but only when I finally got a situation where I was able to fully rest up prior to the mouth. It took like 10 attempts to just get out the fist time and then was swallowed back immedidately for that and the next 3 times I got out. Maybe have the sanke only auto swallow you if you stay?

Yes that is the strategy that you need to rest up before the final push, otherwise the escape attempt will likely end in failure.

Snake is unique this way where you need to escape with extra energy or get caught again, no other predators do this (yet).  Because it's unique, I intend to keep it that way instead of reducing the content in the game.  However, I can revisit Snake and consider other alternatives.  I may either increase the success rate or adjust energy costs.  Normally the minimum energy to escape is 1, but that can be lowered a bit more just for Snake.  Thanks for your input!

Do you have a rough idea when the next update will be

The goal is on or before May 5th as that would be within 1 month of the last update which is the usual goal.  However, at this point I can't confidently say that'll be the case.  I think it might be a few days or a week late of that goal. 

Thank you
