/hgg/ - Hentai Games General

Tried this out for a bit, intro wasn't too long despite the first lines making me fear it'd be a novel or something. Wow keyboard shortcuts, I might not even feel the need to make an autohotkey script to make dealing with UI faster or something

Navigating around the town is a mess due to only being able to move to neighboring places, just let me move anywhere whenever. Combat seems nice but I'm already sick of how slow typical tactics games are to play and this doesn't seem to do much if anything to speed it up.

Portal maps are pretty nice and breeding seems interesting but I don't feel like dealing with slow combat just to engage with them occasionally so for now decided to play something else.

What's new since the last thread?

>>363211

Changelog:

Dating:

- new events + pictures for some older scenes

- some more interactive scenes/imagesets

- experimental x-ray thing for those scenes (hover over pic to show x-ray version around cursor)(currently only the sylvie scene)

- can increase lewdity twice per date. Increasing lewdity lowers lust a lot

- passive lewdity based lust change is halved

CharacterCreation/Start:

- elemental affinity: choose between grass/fire/water for various starting bonuses (evolvable spirit summon, new versatile skills, specialtrait, statbonus)

- difficulty modifiers: can toggle various rules that make things harder for a flat percentage increase to difficulty.

Character/species:

- 12 new species/spirits for starting affinity (mostly creatures)

- Spirits are mostly fusion based and can be fused with any non-spirit. They have a new unique genetic trait. Fusing a character with a spirit only considers the species of the non-spirit for the result. Evolutions work similar to seedlings, but you can choose various skill/leveltype sets.

- some art changes

- lizard now also has variable bodypart sizes/clothes (all basespecies now)

Other:

- genes are generally assigned in totals, randomly spread and not separately per gene. (not only for wild characters).

- Some characters' genes now scale based on gametime (hired through events/brothel etc.)

- stat increases are no longer random. (hidden progressbar for each stat, that increases based on genes/leveltype).

- Leveltypes/levels matter more even for characters with low genes

- unique characters gain more stats/progress on levelup

- randomencounter chance scales more fluidly for everything (stealth,hivecount,distance to portal)(instead of various thresholds).

- new achievement + unlockable profession

- many things have predetermined outcomes (reloading and doing the same thing will have the same result (events,summons,fusion etc.))

- removed morale requirement for quick-fusion

Balance:

- generally levels should increase stats more on average, but less extreme for high genes (balancing stat gains etc should be easier)

- mana increases slower (more like str/mg instead of hp)

- max amount of enemies globally decreased (10+ enemies in every battle at final portal was just pure bullshit)

- base movementcost through water decreased to 15 (from 20)

- gene adapter doesn't work on mc (genes are more meaningful in character creation)(specialform/summons requirements lowered to be achievable anyway)

- busty/petite pointcost is now 0 (neither is really positive or negative)

- fused characters maxlevel/exhaustion is the average of both characters.

- seedlings (trait, not just the starting species) don't need food

- a resulting species' basevalue for bodysizes etc. has a higher weight for determining their value in fusion/hatching

- many other small adjustments to adapt to other changes

Summary/Expected Effect:

- faster pacing through higher focus on fusions/more early options

- can move on to higher hostility portals sooner

- stats feel actually based on genes/leveltype instead of being mostly random

- easier to switch species in your main team (you don't just end up with slightly different/upgraded versions of the same 2 species forever)

- more flexible/interesting start.

- the way genes are distributed onto characters gives them clearer advantages/purposes

- more control over difficulty.

- easier to come back from early mistakes/losses

Next:

- new skilltree replacing the current "C" menu with lots of more interesting things/choices

- more events/dating stuff

- story events/paths/endings

Overall, this update is decent.

>>363211

Nothing, it's still garbage.

Am I just fucking retarded? The unlockables.sav is supposed to be compatible with every update, but it never seems to work for me.

The gallery and starting unlockables have reset on me twice now, and there's no way I'm going through all that effort again. There's really no point in playing until the game is fully finished.

>>363321

>Am I just fucking retarded?

Probably yes.

You only need to copy saveData from old data folder into new version data folder.

>>363242

What's garbage about it? I assume the basic idea of it really appeals to you but something about it's execution is ruining it but what exactly is it?

So is there any more smut in the game or is it just the same as it ever was? Kinda been waiting since the start for the game to give me some actual even if text based sex scenes with the enemies i try to fuck.

>>363330

Been doing literally just that, but it doesn't seem to work. I still lose everything.

Then again, even the one time it actually worked, I still lost half of the gallery. I have no idea what I could possibly be doing wrong.

>>363414

I don't get it either in that case.

Only if you used cheats or were under <100% multiplier difficulty, it would make sense.

Because then you can't unlock anything in that case, even if you got message that something was unlocked by some bug.

>>363405

>So is there any more smut in the game

he's started to work on it since about couple of updates ago.

the quality of the writing is still kinda the same (p goes in v a cooms) but at last there's more of it now, along with some new art for certain events.

>>363436

Could be the code checks for different conditions between versions? What version did you update to and from which one?

I recently moved from v0.9.0.1 up to v0.9.6.2 and had no issues(the gallery didn't exist back then though)

>>363618

It also has some bugs. There are some cases during rituals where the actors get mixed up and based on the text, you are sticking it into yourself(could be a leftover from when the ritual only worked with the mc as reciever?)

The code also gets confused by the multitude of hands insect girls have.

Then again, for me the appeal of this game has been the artstyle not the writing(and the gameplay; been miffed about the ap changes for a long while, but now that I actually tried them, it not all that bad)

>>363660

>Could be the code checks for different conditions between versions?

Rather not.

>What version did you update to and from which one?

I usually update versions as they come out, but I don't track which previous version I used.

all npcs like shop arena etc disappear after a portal

i don;t no if they come back or something else is going one

>>363721

They actually only show up at certain times. Most disappear at night but the Brothel girl who shows up then

>>363660

>>363681

I have no idea what I did, it just suddenly worked.

I had a backup copy of the old unlockables.sav before adding it to the new version. Overwrote the previous I used, which came from the same previous version, and suddenly I had everything I unlocked. Gallery, traits, species, everything. No half-assing either. I didn't do anything different at all, it just suddenly worked for once. I just don't understand, but I guess I'm satisfied now.

is anyone else not able to gain xp in the newest version? 'cause i sure can't

>>364330

Exp gain was nerfed.

You get exp for every won fight, higher hostility encounters give more exp.

For faster gains just use max. 3-4 team members, MC included.

>>364356

oh right, i entirely forgot about that, thanks for reminding me

>>364356

training skill

and the starting background that boosts XP gain

I also save edit and give the XP potion more uses

Are unique characters any good? They keep popping up, but at a glance they look to have some disadvantages versus monsters you can just breed/create.

>>365495

Iirc I think the unique characters have their own unique skills/traits. At least the ones in the town have that.

>>365517

Indeed, all of them do. In addition to the Unique trait acting like a bonus, stacking Potential, they all act as the source material for a genetic trait there's no other way to get, and sometimes unique skills.

Is there some other condition for character to recover from injury? I have the house upgrade and injured quest unit is at 0 exhaustion, but is still not recovering.

>>367650

High morale requirement.

So I've been out of the loop on this one for ages, how do you recruit things now? It doesn't let you do it for anything above level one.

>>367849

There weren't any changes to that.

To raise your chances have someone with master sex skills and high level(15+).

>>367849

Your recruiter needs to be at least the level of the girl you're trying to recruit. Higher attractiveness increases the chances, as does the girl's percentage of lust compared to her current maximum and the recruiter's own percentage lust compared to her maximum.

>>367872

If sex skills play a part in it, it seems minor to me. I had a bad attractiveness roll on Speed Form midway through my first Evo playthrough and didn't know you could just transform again, and had a max of like 20% to recruit even with max lust for both parties. When I finally recruited a girl with higher attractiveness, she regularly had 90% chance to recruit under optimal conditions, even with shitty sex skills.

>>367872

No matter the level of my character, or which character I use, it simply says I can't recruit characters above level 1(hostile)

>>368069

There's a difficulty adjustment called hostile that disallows you from recruiting any character that's above level 1. I guess it's enabled on your save for some reason. If you don't want to restart, you'll have to get most of your new girls from the tavern. Mind control might possibly be another method.

>>368078

Oh, i probably toggled it on and was just too retarded to remember I did that. Thanks for clearing that up.

Just found out that you carry weight doesn't matter when you use party teleport, so you can collect however much stone you want and then teleport to the portal with 10 times your max carry weight.

Do I need to max out the levels of my girls before fusing them, or does it not affect anything?

>>372917

No.

That is only useful when grinding genetics on spirits.

>>372933

Are the sex scenes still awfully generic in this game? I don't know why these dev's keep trying to make actual games with porn being an after thought instead of the opposite.

>>372948

in my opinion they aren't fap worthy in any sense because of how one note they are

this is one of those games where the sex appeal is just a novelty and not a focal point and I'm okay with that considering how few western games there are that dare appeal to only a mature audience by having explicitly sexual gameplay elements

>>372952

I always thought the best thing about this game is all the variations of the art. I've kinda enjoyed chasing them down since there're several different ways of doing it (breeding, NPC and exploration events, the dancing minigame thing, dating) rather than, say, grinding in a rape-on-loss game. The textual sex hasn't really been worth reading: the procedural stuff is too mechanical (the bugbear of all procedural textual sex of course, but particularly bad here) and a lot of the rest is sparsely written to the point of feeling like placeholder material. I get the feeling the dev's English isn't great and that they haven't given any serious effort to the written material, probably thinking it's something they can have improved later. The setting's a little bare but interesting largely due to the reasonably creative art style. The unique NPCs manage to have a surprising lot of personality considering that they're given next so little actual character development, to the point that I actually enjoyed the corruption/dating mechanics despite them being so barebones. Of course, all this is in a context where furries, centaurs, and futas are acceptable.

It wouldn't be at all surprised if this dev actually primarily wanted to create a hex-based tactical combat game, but happened to be a decent porn artist and so decided they wouldn't have a chance of attracting players without working futa dicks into it somehow. A suggestion against that idea is that the combat mechanics change so wildly from version to version, but that might be the dev just not being experienced at designing and testing a game. For a porn game where so much of the sex is written, though, I do think that the dev needs pretty soon to start working on developing a voice or get a more experienced porn writer to help out. There're actually two different ways, if I remember right, to do sex training, and neither one is very appealing due to the writing being so bland. This is coming from an anon who enjoys things like the entirely text-based era games, even though they're hardly masterpieces AND translated from a different language. Despite all my complaints I still, for I don't know what reason, enjoy this game.

>>372933

That's nice to know, I've been grinding like an idiot before.

>>372985

It's fine.

Grind is only needed for species unlocks, evolved spirits and few animals, which actually change form at their max level like dragonwhelp.

>>372948

>Are the sex scenes still awfully generic in this game?

Yes.

>I don't know why these dev's keep trying to make actual games with porn being an after thought instead of the opposite.

I guess it's standard "better to make decent-ish game, first", which does makes sense.

Almost nobody wants to play shit games, after all.

>>372992

Yeah, I've managed to bring a seedling up to a level 13 dragon. Is it possible to turn that dragon into a different type via spirits? And is it possible to capture spirits instead of creating one, since I could only pick 1 element of spirit?

>>373033

>Is it possible to turn that dragon into a different type via spirits?

No. Spirits can raise max level and genetics for better stats of new dragon, at most.

>is it possible to capture spirits instead of creating one, since I could only pick 1 element of spirit?

They are rare as fuck, so I don't recommend trying that.

anyone ever try modding the MC professions like mixing diff bonuses together?

I haven't played this game in forever did they fix the godawful ap system yet?

>>373157

Nope. I have never tried messing with a unity game. Getting assets extracted is as far as I've gone with that engine.

>>373162

Depends on when you played last. Did you play in the Fallout-like AP days? Now you get 2 AP to split across moving a distance based on a move stat, attacking, and skills, kind of like most generic SRPGs.

how the fuck am i supposed to play this game. like I get raped in combat so how am i supposed to make money etc? like i dont understand what im su[posed to do at first i feel so lost
