Breeding Season: Alpha Version 5.3 [Update 11/3/14]

[FruitSmoothie]

People have a right to know about the history of this project, it's not being uncivil or even rude to simply warn them that Hartista has been unreliable with updates in the past, multiple times. He has disappeared for months after accepting "donation" money before, without delivering on promised content updates from the "donated" money. I personally think it'd be mean to not warn people that haven't been around here long.

I'd really recommend waiting and seeing if he can put out some consistent updates before you get too excited. I believe there are still some things yet to be added from the previous "donation" system. I think that's all that needs to be said. I'd of course love for the project to continue and hope everything works out well. I'd just like to avoid anybody feeling like they were ripped off again.

I definitely acknowledge that I haven't done a lot to engender a ton of faith in the past concerning making consistent updates and meeting deadlines. My situation is a lot different now, and over the next few months I intend to prove that I can hold to a consistent update schedule and keep fans in the loop with regular blog updates. I would suggest that anyone who is justifiably skeptical just regularly check in over the next couple months.

Also, my new update is up.

- Client requests for Elven Slave Boy doesn't work for me (not sure yet if it's the same for Elven Slave Girl)
- Futanari Catgirl can have a child with another Futanari Catgirl, but preg chance will only show 0%
- It's possible to have a Futa Catgirl (and have it be able to have children with female monsters) without the Futanari trait. I received one from the player having a Futa Catgirl's child.
- The Futa Catgirl I got as mentioned above doesn't seem to count as a catgirl, either (catgirl filter doesn't show them, don't count towards catgirl limit, don't show up in catgirl kennel). This behavior also spread to its children.
- Been noticing times when I breed a Futa Catgirl with a Demon, but the breeding window doesn't update. I think this happens when they're supposed to have a Demon child?

First run at 4.0: Two bugs stood out.

1) Intro Dialog of the Empire bitch freezes and does not complete. Can Skip out of it though. Minor Bug.

2) On the purchase of your first Elf (or at least Elf Boy), the store breaks. Rebuy stops working (citing a message of 'one of the parents cannot breed'...) and while not visible the rebuy still increases cost. You can exit the monster shop, but then you can't get back in. Save/Load doesn't fix it and releasing the elf doesn't fix it either. Didn't try to buy more monsters while in this state, left and got locked out before the thought occured. Major Bug.

4.0

Changling cannot make Elven Slaves at all.

An Elven Slave Male cannot impregnate an Elven Slave Female no matter what.

If another male besides elf mates with Elven Slave female, she will give birth to it/others but never an Elven Slave.

All Max Stats + All Traits on a monster, then Harvest. The max gold you can get for one item is 255... and 3 stars (In all) this should be higher imo, even harvesting 11 at once makes it really slow to pay off that 9 mil.

Small Bug: Those pairings that do not have art yet, when you breed them; it exits completely out of the breeding pen instead of letting you see the results of breeding.

I haven't noticed this, even when playing with all animations turned off in the options menu, which should be the same as not having animations as far as the game is concerned. If you're playing with animations on, are you hitting space after breeding in those pairings without art? They don't pop up anything unless they have a child, so hitting space would usually close the breeding window.

I've run into something similar to this, although not exactly the same (don't think I ever saw that 'one of the parents cannot breed' message). I have been locked out of the store, or done a restock and seen no update in the monster list (and having gone back to look at what I encountered after seeing this: couldn't select or buy the monsters in the list) to be locked out after leaving. I had a similar experience when I tried to run a 3.9 save file in a downloaded 3.8 version: monsters that didn't exist in that version resulted in the same type of lockout. I'm clueless as to what that type might be, if this is the case; it's not the Futa Catgirl without Futanari trait, because those don't result in lockout of breeding/client windows.

I've noticed some, but not all, of what you're saying here. I've seen specific pairing types fail, but I have been able to breed Elven Slaves of both genders. I believe the failures I encountered may have stemmed from their mates having Neoteny. I'm not sure on the Changling, though.

Its just an idea but why not instead of on/off button for the traits, you make a lab in the city where we pay for gene changes and alikes

[Jaskan]

Do you think that it will ever be possible to add a cheatcode for free money? I'm just asking because sometimes you can't progress because of low money and bad monsters.

[Scottyboy]

Do you ever see Kala again?

[WUCHANBLADER]

the client ask for elvenslavegirl and i met all requirement, but it didn't sell out. why?

The same is true for elven slave boys. It is a bug, most likely.

Yeah, there's a number of bugs with the way the elves are working right now, but I'm fairly sure I know the source of the problem already. It might take me a while to fix it, but I'll try to have a hotfix soon.

[Zeus Kabob]

Awesome. I thought it was simply a naming error.

Hi Hartista

I was wondering if you can use this idea : grouping all the consumable in the store you know like on the breeding pen

so you can select the exact consumable you want I think it would be easier that way at least when we start

Seconded, or at least use the 'breed filter' to show only the ones you are looking for.

Ah, you're right. It had become such a habit to skip through the animation I hadn't realized. Thx.

I'm on month 10 day 1 and also same with month 10 and day 2 I have no longer access to the monster shop

I cannot go in it I didn't had that problem the rest of the time before month 10

First off, congrats on getting that far before breaking.

Elves seem to be toxic to the game at the moment in both store and client instances and eventually the game will be unplayable. You didn't mentioned if you had unlocked elves or not, but eventually the client will want them and things go downhill from there. Once an elf (male only?) is purchased, the store is breaks.

[kaishin]

It seems to be something pretty specific that's breaking it that way, Ironvein, and so it doesn't really happen often, nor permanently.

I think it's trying to spawn Neoteny Elven monsters, and running into errors as a result of that. I assume that'll be something that will be fixed with the next patch.
