Mass Attraction Beta 3
Added 2015-05-25 15:07:01 +0000 UTCHere it is! The third beta! You can download it from the "Beta Versions" on the dropBox folder for this project: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/isr90desooel7y6/AACk5JQgsbh7A3ebUTQ81zrEa?dl=0 OR you can play an online version here: http://www.reddypics.com/game/ The new things are: -A preloader screen! Now the game will not freeze or glitch when you play online. -A save system! You can save the names you edited and the things you have done in the game. But this save slot is only for this beta, the final game will not load this data file. So go crazy with it. -More girls to meet! Now, now. This beta presents all the features less the gallery section. And... Minerva and muscular Penny. "WHY??!!!" you asks. Well, these last events have a lot of the plot revealed and explained. And since the high support I am receiving here, I am extending the events and content. I think it would spoil the game if i presented those critical parts in a compressed and unpolished state, That's it. I put some "traps" in the code, some things may malfunction, if you find anything strange, let me know! If you have sugestions and advices, please do!

That would certainly be really, really cool, though also a fair amount of extra work! Again, while I think that would be a really great addition, given how much work it would entail I'd completely understand you not wanting to do it and have the ending determined by the Daddy/Wuss/Pimp meter instead. So I'd suppose whatever decision you ultimately made. But as you say, it's still early days yet (kind of :p ), so I guess we'll see what you decide later on. :)

2015-06-01 21:43:09 +0000 UTCOn the original design of the game, the love gauge serves to define the ending, you would be able to get a hot date with the girl you scored more points. So in the end, this would mean I would have to do one ending for each girl with special scenes, in our actual case, 6 endings. That's a lot! But I am still working on the secont act, a lot of things can happen until there.

2015-05-30 02:57:41 +0000 UTCHmm, that's strange, it won't let me reply when I have the whole post up either. I'm only able to do it by clicking on the reply button from the main page that shows all the articles posted so far. Anyway, I think that would be a really cool feature, but clearly by the sound of it, also quite difficult to implement. I'd certainly be in favour of bringing it back if you decided it would be worth the extra time to get it working, but I'd also understand if it was really just too much hassle for what you would get out of it. In terms of how it might play out, I assume there would be something like an additional scene at the end with the girl you picked if you made enough "right" choices throughout the game, or something along those lines? If so that would be pretty cool and could certainly help even more with the replay value, but again, with how much extra work it might entail, I'd be completely fine with whatever decision you felt was best. Oh yeah and I thought that perhaps the dialogue choices might have intentionally been put in a random order, so in that case there's obviously no need to change anything. :p

2015-05-27 17:43:35 +0000 UTCI don't know why I can't post a reply for the comments. Anyway, here it is: Camel- You mean change her face to the crazy one? If yes, I think it would make more sense. TheGreatAlbert-For the 4th beta, I will show an event for the second act, probably of Lima, I will do her first. I can't say exactly when, but I will post more sketchs for it soon. The alternate202- The position of the choices are random. I thought it in putting them in the same order, but I think this would make the thing too boring and easy. And there was a feature I removed called "Love meter" which you could hit the "soft spot" on the girl by the choice you picked. For example, You could score points with Mack being sensible and caring on a particular moment. But the thing turned too complicated and I removed the entire feature. But I am seriously thinking in bringing it back, but the impact on the project will be huge. What do you think about that?

2015-05-27 08:44:48 +0000 UTCI haven't played through all of it yet because I'm taking my time and don't want to rush it, but what I've seen so far has been absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to play through the rest! I agree with you wanting to keep some of the story details secret for now. No need to spoil everything early, especially when there's already lots of new content to see in this beta already. And very cool to hear you're extending the game a bit too. More of an already great thing just makes it even greater! :D I haven't run into any bugs or anything like that at this point. So far the only real critique I can think of would be if the "daddy/pimp/wuss" dialogue choices were in the same 'top right/bottom right/middle' locations as their original counterparts, so you could know that if you picked the top right you're getting the "daddy" option, etc. Unless the intent is for it to be random of course. :p But yes, you've done an amazing job. It's awesome to see everything coming together like this, and it's coming together really, really well. Keep up the fantastic work!

2015-05-26 17:37:29 +0000 UTCVery very nice. Sad not to see Minerva and Kelly's muscles, but I can understand. Things are looking pretty damn good, so far. Now, will you do a 4th beta, or will you wait until the full game is completed to release it?

2015-05-25 19:54:09 +0000 UTCWhen Samara firsts starts laughing before she grows, you might have her face sheperd just to give that more personal feel to the coming growth.

2015-05-25 19:40:20 +0000 UTCHmmm... that's doable! I will add this in my to do list.

2015-05-25 19:19:42 +0000 UTCThis is absolutely awesome. Would be nice if you can force the text to draw immediately with a mouse click (not waiting for it to print to click next).
