Public Release!



Oh wow, has it been a while.  Game is now posted with all the updates from the last half year or so.  Go check it out.  I'll wait.  ;)

Quick list of what's new:

  • Finished all three special armors (ruby plate, chain bikini, sorceress robes)
  • Naga double teams
  • Poison has been revamped
  • Dash attacks of enemies have been slightly changed
  • Events with shopkeeper inside dunecrawler
  • Able to steal / return all three special armor sets once inside dunecrawler

Honestly, it's not a ton of new content, but I'm glad to say there's new content once again.  A long time ago I had said that I wasn't going to work on the game a lot on any given day, but I was planning to work consistently.  The idea being that slow, steady progress wouldn't burn me out.  Naturally I fell off that wagon almost as soon as I said it.  Ever since I've started my Patreon account though, I feel like I'm hitting that stride more often than not.  It's a nice reminder that I need to produce, but not so much that I feel burdened.  So, I feel like the experiment is working.  I hope you do too.

So now it's just a race to make sure I finish the game before Flash falls so far into obscurity that y'all ca no longer play it.  Which, by the way, I think some of you are already struggling here.  I'm seeing more notes about how the game doesn't play like it used to, or doesn't play in your browser, or doesn't play at all.  With Flash support slowly being discontinued, you may have to hunt around a bit to ensure your version of Flash is actually installed & up to the challenge.  Back when I started this, Flash was practically a default setting, now it requires work to get it running.  Don't be shy about checking YouTube for some how-to install Flash videos.  For those of you who like to future-proof yourselves, you might want to find a stand alone Flash player as well.



Around the interwebs


So I assume you're already familiar with Cock Hero?  I consider them games, although you could argue they aren't.  You're just sitting there watching a video, the interactive part is largely up to you.  Which I have to say is kind of nice.  As a game designer (HA!) I have to worry about whether or not one hand is free during certain parts of my games.

Anyway, a guy going by WatchItDry had the great idea of combining cock hero videos with the RPG game engine.  The result.... honestly isn't great.  At least, not yet.  It's like all the ingredients are there and greatness is just around the corner, but he hasn't found the right ratio for chocolate to peanut butter.

If I've got your interest, the original beta release is over at Milovana, and he now has his own web site set up called Decadence Island.  Fair warning, his site looks sleazy as fuck.  I haven't signed up, and I liked the demo enough that I'm talking about it now.  Also be aware that the game is over 4 GB.  That's just one of the problems he's trying to address.  His current plan to address that is releasing episodes instead of a full game.  Which although I totally understand it's a technical limitation he's trying to work around, it's not helping the sleazy angle.

I've spent far too much time thinking how the game could be better if he'd do this or that, but all of that gets pushed aside by my biggest concern, which is I'm not sure that such a game is actually legal.  Or I should say, he won't get his ass sued into oblivion.  Regular Cock Hero videos take existing porn videos (which are copyrighted) and add catchy music (which is also copyrighted).  I assume that the only reason those creators aren't getting shut down is because they do it for free (and/or are hard to track down).  It looks like WatchItDry is hoping to earn money creating the RPG side.  That certainly is value added work, but I think he's going to get himself in hot water for the Cock Hero side.  Here's hoping I'm wrong.  (Also, not an attorney, so if I've gotten my copyright/trademark/patent terms crossed, forgive me & move on).

  1. Appreciate your work man, I know it isn't easy to do this, even harder to do in flash now that less people are using it. Not sure if you've heard of Space Escape but the maker of it UrielmanX7 is actually moving away from flash trying to see what else will work for him. If he finds a program that ends up being better than flash (easier to code/use/etc.) I'll let you know. Also as a just in case the game gets too big, that's another reason he has to migrate and it's better to do it earlier then later. Either way! Keep up the good work, I check this forum almost every night to see if there was an update, needless to say I'm happy there was one tonight!

  2. Glad to see an update. The spirit requirement for entering the crawler is a tad annoying as it renders the human+fighter combination unable to enter as there is no item that grants +3 spirit.
    In regards to the poison changes, it gets a little out of hand too quickly - You can end up being "frozen" for up to 30 seconds with the naga's flailing away at you.
    My advice would be to increase the poison-falloff since you'd have to wait quite some time for the poison to wear off each scene if you wish to avoid getting incapacitated.
    I had also hoped the ruby armors "broken" state would have just the skin-suit showing instead of only the breastplate, but that's just personal prefference.
    With that out of the way - thanks for the update - I appreciate your work.

      Yeah, wanted to throw a nice bone to the Mages on that one. Human fighter can still get in via the damaged armor dialogue though, that one only requires 3 spirit. Well, and having damaged armor.

    2. Ah, my apologies for not being thourough in my playthrough. I gotta say I was at first dissapointed to not find any trace of the blindfold from earlier updates, glad to see it's in there.
      The bondage side of things is really something I'd like see expanded - (3 stages is not enough - think of the possibilities Dirty!)
      Also what's the deal with the abandoned Bunnykin howel in the river delta?
      Speaking of armor, I struggle to find the benefits of the bikini since it's dwarfed by the sorceress armor due to its defense/attack-bonuses - maybe a buff for the bikini-users? :)

    3. Glad you got farther into into the dunecrawler sessions & liked them, guess it's not entirely obvious that there's a sequence of progressions. It's meant to be a place you'd come back to repeatedly, but with most of Act 3 not being done, I don't think that's happening. Hopefully in the future it will become more natural.

      I really liked how the bondage came out too. Probably will not do any more in this game, maybe in the future. There was a possibility for one last scene where he straps you in & walks away, I may try to add that as a finishing touch (look at me talking like the game will actually be done someday)

      The bikini's big bonus is that it heals itself. So you will never be completely without armor. Again, perhaps not obvious, but I'm okay with that.

    4. Sorry about the late reply - hopefully you still read the comments :)

      "There was a possibility for one last scene where he straps you in & walks away"
      We need it, I need it, you need it!
      It is "obvious" regarding the bikini's healing effect, I'm just not sure if it can compete with the sorceress armor as even with the sorceress armor completely "depleted" you still gain the buffs which are extremely strong.

      If you want inspiration for more bondage and stuff, you could look into Skyrim (again) under the "Cursed Loot"/"Devious Devices" section, might find something interresting to add to the game *wink* *wink*.

  4. happy to see an update... few issues i already noticed though: the quick time arrows disappear after half a second and that makes it impossible to succeed, and after breaking out of the first two nagas hold, one of them disappeared and i kept taking damage. i'm not sure if the merchant animation had an issue... seemed that he only had two phases and a cumming animation, might have been on purpose.

    1. I've had that happen back as early as the grunts in act 1, but it's never been repeatable and it's always been rare. Makes it really, really hard to troubleshoot. If you find a reliable way to make the arrows vanish, let me know.

    1. Sadly this isn't the first time I've heard this, but I don't have enough info to fix it. If you can't move as soon as the game starts, my guess would be you aren't using the right Flash player. Try reinstalling Flash, then maybe try a different browser or even a different PC?

      If it is happening after a certain event and it's repeatable, let me know. That's the type of problem I might be able to fix. For example there was (is?) a bug where the game could lock up if you held the arrow keys down while moving through a door. I've mostly got that one, but it took multiple posts like this for me to figure out where the problem was.

    2. i tried a few things... i got the problem only on mozilla at the moment but only tried mozilla and chrome. i get "stuck" right after the intro sequence where u can skip it during that intro the arrow keys still work. as soon as i am in control of the player on mozilla my keyboard inputs just seem to bee ignored.

      i hope that helps should i get it somehow to work on mozilla i will post how.

  13. Hi, glad to see an update after all these years it's still going. I have a question about the key input for grapple. It's been like this since the beginning so I was wondering if it's intentional.

    You have grapple QTE key input set to accept inputs without releasing the key. That makes it very difficult to successfully perform inputs with different directions. Example, if you have to press LEFT RIGHT LEFT and you hold down left for longer than a frame, it counts as more than one left. On the other hand if you have LEFT LEFT LEFT and you hold left down, it does all three lefts after about a quarter of a second.

    Did you want it to work like this? When I first started making flash games, I had this too, but I figured out a way to make it like most regular games where it waits for you to release the key before pressing it again.

  14. Hi, could you had cheats cod to unlock that make us able to start with one of the new armor item ? (chain bikini, ruby plate or sorceress robes) Because for now we can't really enjoy them because the game nearly end after we got them :(
    And i'll really like a hard mode, maybe in this mod you can add more ennemy in every place, make zombie faster, and make qte (arrow to press when in a grapple) harder, for exemple.

    And i'll say to conclude that, i really enjoy your game, keep going like that :D I discovered you with your first game k fox and the magic sword :D Btw, you should add a link to your blog on newgrounds, on the description of your game k fox, because it was really hard to found your new blog on google :)
