Hard Mode?

I to thinking, would you guys like a hard mode toggle?  Hard mode would make bad-ends more common/easier, as well as preventing save-scumming to avoid a bad end should you encounter one.  This would not effect any game that did not turn hard more on, so it would be totally optional.  It would definitely make CoC more of a Roguelike for those who like that kind of thing.

Also, I caught up on all my blog comments, and am sorting through the 100+ comments and notes from furaffinity and other places.  So bear with me.

EDIT:  82 post comments later, FA journal comments done, notes caught up, 1 new fanart discovered.  On to email and futanari palace messages!
EDIT2:  All messages purged.  Now I just have a bunch of typos listed in futanari palace to fix.  Then I'm taking a break.  Ya'll are a talkative bunch!

EDIT4:  All corrospondence caught up with.  I recoded looting to fix some obscure bugs, hopefully I don't ever have to deal with it again.
Fanart'ed!

  1. I don't really care too much whether you add hard mode or not, personally.
    As long as there's more anal added.
    And how are your sinuses?

  2. I think a hard mode would be pretty cool...Except that I've been playing for a while and have never even gotten to an ending yet :P.

  3. I'm with xalrun here. Not caring much for it, but if it's an easy thing to do, it might be something for those that like the "game" aspect. Maybe as a contrast, an "easy" mode would be nice then too. For those who are more interested in the "story" or plainly the "fuck things in different ways" parts. With the possibility to actually control the body changes to customize their char without having to Save/Try/Reload-Circle through it just so can have certain scenes.

    Just Saiyan.

    Also, more anal. And more cum-bellies.

  4. Bad ends are a good idea but I'm not sure that the end caused by the mutations are "enough". I mean, we are in this world to fight the evil, right ? So it's supposed to have an end (good or bad, depending on our corruption, our wish, etc).

    I'm sure it would come a lot later (like a lot of other ideas I have) but if you are thinking about a "hard mod", I think it would be nice if it was more worked than only bad ends.

    It's hard to explain in english...
    Hard mod is for me harder. Than would mean more dangerous encounters (more minotaurs instead of imps with the mountains, for example), fights more dangerous (actually, if the fights are sometimes hard when we begin, they are far too easy after many hours of play), consequences more impressive (pregnancies easier to get, the "birth" of the bees which turns our character on quicker to come, etc.

    A REAL hard mod ! :D


    And indeed, it does a lot of messages to read. I would happily suggest you to find somebody to help you. His/her task would be simple : select the ideas, resume them and write them on a note. Same thing for the bugs. And maybe he could answer to some questions if he/she knows/understands your work enough.

    Alone, it will be always more difficult. And I already saw two staff leaving a game during their development. I was sad since erotic/pornographic GAMES are rare. Especially the GOOD ones ! With a story, with amusement, customisation, etc.


    Last thing : About the customisation. The body is almost ok (we could always find more options if we need to improve that part) but the mental is not worked. Shyness, Hornyness, strong will, coward, sexual preferences, fights knowledge, etc.
    Well... It's like the spells. It will surely come later.




    I wish I could help ! :( But to write in a GOOD english is hard :s

  5. Hmmmm...I don't think a Hard Mode per-se is necessary, but definitely having leveled creatures or versions of the creatures with newer effects and abilities would make it more challenging.

    For example: You reach level 5, or whatever, instead of running into standard imps at the normal encounter rate, the encounter rater for the imp drops to an much lower percentage. Now, a "grizzled imp" or, "Imp Soldier" etc, is encountered.

    LEVEL 5 "Imp Soldier": 4 foot tall imp, dressed in leather armor, carrying a (dagger, mace, club, etc)
    The Imp Solider is a much more experienced foe than a standard imp. These are the ones that have mad a good living off of kicking the ass of adventurers like yourself, and take advantage of the other creatures in this realm as well.
    Description: 4-4 1/2 feet tall, averagely muscled, and a much better fighter than the original imp. He has a 2 foot cock that slaps against his knees when he walks, and it steadily drools a viscous pre-cum at all times. His balls are the size of oranges, and they seem to be moving under the surface of the skin, as if they hold much more than their size would lead you to believe.

    The Rape text for this should be more violent than the standard imps, if you lose, given his added strength. If you win, some form of humiliation should be useful to show him his place. (Throatfucking, gagging, cumming on his face if you have small cum output, or filling his belly and hosing him down if you have large cum output. For Anal, degradation during it, and if you have large cum output, filling him and holding him down while you cum, until he is so filled he can't get away, then attracting some local creatures to take advantage of that.


    Level 10: "Imp Shaman": The imp shaman is a female imp, which is rare in this land, but her power ensures that if she is to be taken advantage of, it will be a tough fight. She wears a robe (brown, forest green, faded blue, etc) and carries a staff in her hand. The staff appears well used and has small bloodstains at each end, suggesting that she is very capable in it's use. Around her waist is a belt, stuffed with potions, some of which you recognize as the ones you have been used to.

    Description: She stands 4-4 1/2 feet tall, well muscled for her size, with breasts that for her size, look like they should be weighing her down more than they are. (D's at least) She may, randomly, possess multiple cocks, or unusually large balls, or a huge clit, or any variation of equinum, canine pepper, or tentacle cocks, based on her potion usage. Rape text will change accordingly, but based on the female, herm factor. She WILL have a pussy.

    Winning against her should utilize double penetration if you have 2 cocks or more, with one in her ass and the other in her pussy, (High corruption involving a reach around if she has a cock)

    Anyways, these are just some ideas. Let me know what you think.

  6. Hey, kinda random but I remember you mentioning another game on another site that was just getting started. Just was wondering if you remembered the name or even what it's status was?

  7. I think before you add a hard mode you should finish the game first.

  8. If I was going to ask for anything it would be a way to speed up pregnancy. Hard mode is interesting but I don't know how many bad ends there are so not sure how important that is at this time.

  9. Grizzly1 - Its still not ready for the limelight. The author switched programming languages for it since some antivirus programs were giving false positives on it. When it's ready I'll link it and perhaps throw up a mediafile share as well if it's necessary.

    Dale - the game is never finished...and just added a toggle to make bad-ends more permanent for some folks is a quick change.

    Razor75 - Its funny how long a week of game time can take when you just want to pop out a kid :P

  10. I have an idea for an item:

    Chocolate Milkshake.

    Dropped from: Maybe (Female) Minotaurs or simply imps, or maybe given to you randomly by Whitney.

    Physical Description: A Long thin glass bottle of delicious chocolate milk, with the tip being somewhat like a nipple.

    Effects:

    - Makes your nipples push outward, becoming longer.

    - Randomly changes the flavor of your breast-milk.

    - Your Areolas swelling, making them wide and puffy.

    - Multiple Areolas/Nipples.

    - (Very unlikely) Dick nipples.

  12. I think the idea of a Hard Mode that makes bad ends easier is a good one. I know once or twice I've -tried- to get a bad end just to see it again and it's been difficult.

    What I think would be good is having multiple modes, from Casual to Extreme. Casual is where items don't get used up (like debug mode), the XP flows like a river, and rare events happen more often. Then you go up in difficulty from easy (items are used up but XP comes easier and better starting stats), normal (like it is now), hard (XP harder to come by, bad ends a bit easier), and extreme (worse starting stats, low XP, very easy bad ends, and maybe go so far as deleting the most recent save).

    Or, just set up a series of toggles or options at the start of the game, maybe during the chargen. "How fast do you want to level up?" "How hard do you want the fights?" "How easy should it be to get a bad end?"

  13. Pedro- on your comment, i think adding more items would be the best bet, but if you add more items you have to add more different people in the game. thus turning up the difficulty. im all for that. ^_^

    in the beginning your character express his/her hate for the imp, and his master. i have played nearly 4 hours straight i have reached day 110 i have yet to meet any one besides the the two succubi, the bee, jojo the merchant, imps and the minotaurs, along with the vines and flowers, not to mention that pesky tentacal monster.

    some things you have probly hurd that i think that wuold be a very good addition would be Satan, for one hes the ultament bad guy, and lets face it, who else are you going to play the bad guy of all bad guys, an mabey add incubi. aswell i would like to see something else to be done with the vines and flowers, other than makeing my cock turn in to a green vine, and make my hair turn green,and my butt bigger, as well i think if you add succubi and incubi you should make the imps drop item somthing else. and as far as jojo goes you should add a monastery in the mountains, make it hard to find though. like i said you should add more people, and finish the story more, before you go trying to turn up the difficulty if you add more people then the difficulty will go up in turn for we as player have more things to keep an eye out for.

    well i think thats about all i have to say for now but hay if you get this thanks for reading, and if not well i hope you read this i have my own blog on here but i havent really been able to keep up with it. but i will always play your COC game. please notify me as soon as the next version is available on mida share.

    Ps sorry for all the spelling mistakes.
