4th BETA

Yes, thank you for skipping that scene in the 4.1. It just makes things easier. :p First off: what an awesome Christmas present! Thank you! I was going to do what most people here did and point out the bugs I encountered, the game ending if you visited Lima first etc., but since you were so super-quick in fixing them all and getting a new beta out, I'll just post my impressions of all the new stuff in the comments for the 4.1 release instead! :p

The Alternate202

well he made the reference himself about the garrus at the end lol

Dalpy

I thought you guys would be bored to see that scene more one time.

ReddyHeart

Looking awesome so far. Is it me, or is the first encounter with Penny (sans Might) missing from the beta now? Great job with her flexing sequence.

riv3th3d

i'm good with fem garrus but one thing at a time.

camel

Bad text make it harder to know what shepherd gonna say

Dalpy

Really? I thought it was funny. Kinda. Maybe a bit if you are drunk or stoned.

ReddyHeart

Happy Hollidays!

ReddyHeart

Well, i was trying to be mysteryous...

ReddyHeart

The map screen can't select the events of the act 2. I am fixing that. Sorry!

ReddyHeart

Sorry! I am fixing that.

ReddyHeart

The betas will work as a validation procedure. For example, most of the bugs the people found now I wouldn't notice at all because all my tests happens in a controlled state. And because I just play pieces, not the entire game all the time. This is being a great help. And it wouldn't present any extra work for me, a just need to compile the last working version.

ReddyHeart

Thank you for the support! I am fixing these issues now. I should post a new version in some minutes.

ReddyHeart

Hi! Thank you very much for your report! I fixed these issues, I will post a new version in some minutes.

ReddyHeart

Well, the text isn't ready yet. Most of it are just placeholders. But since the game was extended, I gonna change some bits to reflect that. And yes, the role meter could stay a bit longer.

ReddyHeart

My bad! I am fixing it now.

ReddyHeart

Thank you for the report. I realized the map screen needs some serious change. I am working on it right now.

ReddyHeart

Merry Xmas! I will post a 4.1 version in some minutes.

ReddyHeart

Sorry for that! I am fixing this in some minutes.

ReddyHeart

Yeah, I can do that. I need to text how the animations will behave. I added this to my TODO list.

ReddyHeart

Given the fact that I want to go through the game multiple times (either due to a bug or just to try a different path) I would really appreciate being able to skip the slow text rendering... please allow skipping that with a SPACE or something. Most games allow that.

Van Dermonde

where is my minerva?!!

Like how the characters seem more lively, with the breathing animation for all the girls now. Couple bugs as mentioned by others but other than that great beta, hopefully you get those bugs fixed for a beta 4.5 lol Great work as always Redd and merry Christmas

Dac

Thanks for the update! Some bugs: - I can't visit Minerva and Samara in the first act. The path is locked as following: 1) Mack, 2) Lima, 3) Bali, 4) Penny. If I go to Lima first, the game ends abruptly. - I can't go past the beginning of the second act. I can't go anywhere.

John Rikhter

Thanks for the update.

John Rikhter

Funny, sexy, lots of fun! Keep going.

Are all the girls suppose to be viewable in the first act, reddy?

toadprince

Okay, also had some more thoughts: The dialogue. UGHHH. I know, I know you'll fix the grammar mistakes, but some of it needs total rephrasing, I could redo the whole script for free because it's not just the spelling thats wrong... Really liked the 4th wall humour with Penny at the end, hope there will be more of that! Any chance you could do a save button during conversations? So about the lips. I think the overall shape is great, but just stretch them out a bit more, I think Penny is pretty good, but maybe just a bt more to give a "naughty" kinda face. When Liara's face turns in profile, her lips look bigger than when she does in frontal! Yeah, and btw, that asari is totally hot on that extranet page Shepherd is browsing at the beginning, but her face could maybe be a bit tweaked. Mostly due to the ugly green make up, and her tongue looks awkward. It's not hanging otu as much! Also, her lips. <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/35/c2/cc/35c2cc1c159f5c5ea77b3fbb676e5fd4.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/35/c2/cc/35c2cc1c159f5c5ea77b3fbb676e5fd4.jpg</a> Hm, and you know what, not exactly sure if you like that kinda idea, but have you thought about maybe inlcuding Garrus in this game lol? Maybe him turning female or futa? I mean, I'm not gay, but Garrus's pretty hot, and it's a totally heterosexual interspecies male bonding activity if he's an alien, and definitely not gay, right. <a href="https://im1.ibsearch.xxx/resize/e/4a/ec262ebe9cdf098cc3c088eced812.jpg?width=1600&height=1400" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://im1.ibsearch.xxx/resize/e/4a/ec262ebe9cdf098cc3c088eced812.jpg?width=1600&height=1400</a> Also I dont mean to sound too harsh, I just like your project very much, and I'm throwing out some ideas, so dont think I'm a jerk or anything lol. I'm just voicing my opinion! Thanks anyway and merry Xmas! (even tho we're not celebrating xmas right now at Russia, it's at a later date)

Yeah, what Paolo said, there are some bugs where the game freezes, and doesnt show the meter indicator. But Lima's chamber deadend is biggest issue IMO, cuz u cant play if u go there first. Okay, so I love the animation and art and stuff, it's good, but my complaints are mostly aesthetic ones. Alright, so, the thing tha bothers me the most is that dialogue options are a bit confusing sometimes. Mostly because the writing is BEYOND atrocious, I mean, I know you'll fix this, but it can be sometimes hard to tell the INTENTION of some options, like when Penny is asking to join the squad the *Daddy* option is "Negative", which by itself sounds kinda rough, and its not not because of the spelling, but because a better phrase that shows *Daddy-like* Intention would be "I dont think that's a good idea...", and it's a rather big issue, because Its hard to understand the intention of the choice. So you might wanna consider giving them an overhaul. I think a lot of them don't really convey the intention all that well... And there a few scenes that don't really transition well after the dialogue, for example Mack: I get it if you're being a bad-ass she'll be angry and throw a tantrum, but it doesn't make much sense if you don't make her angry...same goes for Penny, although hers is a bit better handled since she addresses it as being unusual, but still. I think it might be a good idea to put the ROLE METER arrows a bit higher, sorta at the same position where the heart meter is. It draws attention better and is easier to notice. Sometimes the meter arrow flash too fast and I won't be sure what colour it was. But maybe it's just me...maybe make the arrows a bit more noticeable or stay longer?

Hi Reddy! Merry Christmas to you as well!! ;) Now these are some problems i came across (ATTENTION SPOILERS) Prologue with Penny: in the 3rd dialog both the 1st and the 3rd option make the role meter increase (it's intended?), while in the last dialog before the first act, for every option, the meter don't appear at all. In the first Act are present only Lima's Chamber and Mack's Hangout and if I start with Lima, the game stop right after her full Act. If I start with Mack (there isn't a "love meter" for her) I get to select only the Main Corridor (Bali Act1, no "love meter" for her either) but i can't go to Lima's Chamber for the rest of the game (marked as ????). After Bali i can only go to the Bridge and meet with Penny (no "love meter"). During Penny Act1, in the 4th dialog, if i select the second option, the game freeze. After Penny Act1 there is the Silouettes scene and then the Second Act begins, but I can't do a thing: all is ???? except Mack, Bali and Penny's locations that are marked as Visited. I am doing something wrong? Anyway, thank you very much and sorry for my bad english ;)

Paolo

I've downloaded the 4th version but it stop after the first Lima's scene...with the "That's all folks" page...Thanks for your job, you're amazing, and my pledge is the money better spent in history!

Hey Reddy, also a merry christmas to you. This really completes my christmas presents <3 You are a god and when you would be a muscular girl I would kiss you xD Replaced the chibi icons? Ok xD I had no problems with them. I really like the romance system :) Autoplay and autoskip are features that makes the game a rounder game. (If you know what I mean, more complete) I will test the beta as often as I can. WIth the plan to do every month a beta? No I wouldn't do that. I would present and plan milestones but not betas every month. Merry Christmas!

Pixelpapst

mine keeps ending after lima first act why?

toadprince

Can't get past the silhouette scene. :( Not sure how to get to act 2 yet and the same with Todd.

X42

Pretty good job thus far. Love Kelly's growth. Very hot. Do you really have to put them in shadow? I'm pretty sure we've all paid enough attention that we could tell whose silhouette is whose. LOL

tropetweeter

A Merry Christmas to you, sir.
