Sorry for missing the usual status update on Saturday, went out quite a bit. My course keeps me pretty busy, but I'm still finding quite a bit of time to work on this.
Anyway, here's the progress:
Inventory System changed
Zombie attack % changed (more rape moves than biting moves)
Sex grapple dependant on position of Reb and position of enemy
Game window now larger
Started on new custom inventory sprites (I've also been doing some basic ones too)
Completed new standing sprites (with some neat clothing damage!)
Completed sex animation #1 (Zombie + Reb behind - crouching)
I'm going to be working on these new inventory sprites so I can update the look of the inventory ASAP. Also, had some ideas for a few scenes, so I'll be putting up polls every so often to see whether or not you'd like what the scene covers in there.
EDIT: Here's a couple of things done today:
Added a option to change % chances of Normal/Sexual attacks, to the point where one will only happen 10% of the time (will not affect boss %)
Completed car sprite (no more box with "CAR" on it :P)
I have a bug, probably my computer or something but when I move, the clothing disappears and when i'm standing still the clothes is there.
ReplyDeleteRelax Yakul. Its nothing to do with your comp. We all get it. :P Nice status report Z. Looking forward to the next update.
ReplyDeleteA few things though. I noticed that although the dog has a sex animation you can't submit to it. You can only be raped. Pressing c has no effect. Just thought I'd say.
For those of us who want to explore the "whore" skill tree, is there plentiful supplies of antivirus later in the game? Because leveling up your whore skills is impossible due to dying from the virus.
Also, can you be raped by the boss right now? I keep trying but the bugger kills me in 2-3 hits and then I have to start over. XD
@Mortis (since he answered your question, Yakul)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be adding submitting to the dog, been focused on this new inventory stuff at the moment.
1) There won't be an antivirus/it'll be very rare, herbs and mixed herbs reduce and stop your infection meter.
2) It won't just be undead that'll get your whore skill up.
There is no sex animation for the boss... yet. The only attack that he uses at the moment is his special one, which kills you in a couple of hits.
Cheers for answering my questions Z. Much appreciated. So the attack the boss uses all the time is his special? No wonder he kills you so fast! :P
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this game of yours Z. Cos even though the graphics could use some work, the gameplay is solid and it has a certain... charm. It keeps me coming back for more. :D
I'm a bit confused about the grappling thing. so basically when the zombie grabs on to you and bites you, do you press X to be rape/have sex? because when i press X it did nothing.
ReplyDelete(Total noob right here)
@Mortis
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you like the game! Next update should look better for the sex animations ^^
@Anon
Nono, when a zombie lunges at you, it will either grab you and bite you, or tear your armor off, or rape you if your armor is gone.
I'm just updating the status update with a couple of new things completed today ^^
So i think i have a idea to lower the work load of sprites with difference clothing
ReplyDeleteso here's my mind set.
The basic idea of object oriented programming(OO) is to do the minimal amount of work with the biggest reward. A loop is a example of bigger rewards with less work but I think that loops are limited to OO programming.
Anyways right now you are by hand making each sprite for each clothing state how ever if you had a base model and all characters were based then you could make a clothing sprite and just place it over the character while playing the game and this limit the amount of work needed for clothing used by more than 1 character like the gun.
Just to clarify i am not saying make a sprite and then copy it and add clothing. I'm saying make a sprite as a base and while playing cover the sprite with another sprite of the clothing.
This will allow sprite Jess and Jan (not real sprites mind you) to use the same file lowering the number of sprites to the number of character and clothing sprites.
The way i understand how you do it, your making a sprite for each set.
Of course you can't use the same sprites with zombies since they have different animations and body size.
A example of what i said is Demon girl flash game (I hope) there's a base model and he adds clothing on to it.
ReplyDeleteI know what you're saying, however, the clothing would still have be several sprites, to match with the movement animations and such.
ReplyDeleteThe way we're doing it at the moment is, creating each sprite seperately, however, the way FAPCOM does it is when he has finished a sprite, he sends me the photoshop file with clothing layers over it, and then I save them into GIFs and import.
Do you have a demo or just the status update? I think it's the latter but thought i would ask.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be correct in thinking it's the latter. Seeing how things go, I might be able to release an update this saturday.
ReplyDeleteWoot awesome, i'll just wait until then and on sat... you had to pick the day i'm out of town.
ReplyDelete*Glare*
Anyways joking a side that seems like fast progress to me compared to your other updates.
Well, I've got a lot done compared to other updates. Probably with the increase in interest, now that this game is hosted up on ULMF, ryonani (even though it's not exactly a ryona game.), and also a random japanese site. ^^
ReplyDeleteVery nice game, love the idea and how it is shaping up. I have few questions and ideas you might say. Would there be any big monster which would rape and soft vore Rebecca? Also would Rebecca turn into a zombie in a game over screen if she gets infected? Lastly would we see female (lesbian) zombies as enemies? Generally my questions are about what sort of enemies could we expect? Thanks beforehand.
ReplyDelete@Anon
ReplyDelete1) How big are you talking? We're gonna have some pretty big enemies defiling our poor heroine. Not too sure about vore at the moment.
2) Yes, the virus infection game over means Rebecca has turned into one of them. We may get a game over pic for it, and cat may record some voice clips
3) Yes, female zombies will be implemented... let's just get the male ones out of the way first. There's not going to be many sex animations for the female one though.
I won't spoil any bosses, but enemies you can expect include:
Zombie (duh)
Cerberus (double duh)
Leech
Licker
Hunter
Web Spinner
The next area will contain leeches, but I'd love to get the animations done first. I'll probably work on the area, then release the whole area as one big update, while releasing small updates for the gameplay/normal animations.
Whoa, I knew what I signed up for, but you're killing me here :D
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it when I compare Rebecca's dimensions to most other pixel art h-game heroines, she's actually quite big.
We might have to think about recruiting an additional animator.
That aside, the poll has now passed 205 votes. Scary compared to the last one.
based on what zfied said on enemies, holy crap i cant wait! definetly makes me want this game ready already :D
ReplyDelete@fapcom, cant wait to see your first animation done!
ps. what i keep thinkin whenever i see the dog rape animation that there currently is
-> http://i.imgur.com/ZuRTW.png
cant wait for the "polished" version of that animation :P
@Sess Oh man, sorry to disappoint dude, right now I'm focusing on zombie + boss, so Cerberus will have to wait.
ReplyDeleteTwo animations for the zombie and one very unique approach to the first boss sex are the orders of the day. I won't spill anything here I'm afraid, so you'll have to wait for the next update.
I must say it's been a struggle dealing with Rebecca's flat chest; if you're looking for a ridiculous amount of boob jiggle, that isn't happening, not with Rebecca at least. We'll try for interesting positions instead.
@FAPCOM Yea, I wish you had someone to do the 2D animations. Now the question is how are you gonna find 1? I can see you are already putting a lot of boiling water into your head drawing all those sprites and putting them all together with adjustments for a proper animation. I'd like to say the more the merrier. i.e The more people you have in your team, more things can be done & the game would progress a little faster plus providing less headache for those who are doing 2+ jobs such as yourself :-P
ReplyDelete@fapcom, naw no dissappoinments coming this way as im anxiously waiting for whatevers coming, because this is such an awesome game :D
ReplyDeleteand i like everything from flat to "normal" sized boobies, the girl in picture i linked is starting to be near the limits of my liking. so simply put everything in between is just perfect!
and like agentmax said i hope you could get whatever help you would need as it would ease the stress on everyone, and as a bonus speed up the progress as a whole.
would volunteer myself straight away if i would have any knowledge on those things! right now all i can do is cheer and thank you for everyones hard work. :)
