Sorry everyone for the lack of posts, as I'm sure most of you have guessed, I have had a lot of RL problems to deal with. Things should (once again) start picking up, I am currently in the process of creating the map of Montbury for FAPCOM, and with the new "3d" system that I'm still working on, it will give me a lot more freedom in terms of creating areas. Also, I will fix that memory leak that's plaguing the current version.
Here's the responses to you guys (There's going to be ALOT...):
PAGE 37 RESPONSES:ThadNo problem, sorry to hear you're struggling with finding things to aim for. Thank you, I've been having a lot of trouble recently, and unfortunately my music has struggled as a result, but I am still working towards it... and I'd be happy to create some music for your game. It is MIDI, and I write with Cubase. Go on MSN sometime, I'll speak to you there
Dhampir001Yeah, I realised that on release, I'll have it fixed for next version.
ironcobrahp900As a lot of the people are experiencing, there is currently a MASSIVE memory leak in the game, which results in the game being unplayable after 1-4 plays (depending how good your computer is). I am in the middle of fixing it, and I won't release a new version until it's fixed (a new version won't be for some time anyway.)
ZeroThat's an interesting idea, but that adds more work for FAPCOM to do. If he doesn't mind doing it, then by all means, I'll pass the idea onto him. I'm not placing it as a priority at the moment though.
Fruit1. The knife is only available if you select "New Game". It's not available in the Mercenaries (In Mercenaries, Rebecca will get a sub-machine gun and pistol)
2. I can add in a "view controls" in the options if you want. I may also add in customizable controls later, although that's not a priority.
3. Mercenaries is going to be changed (once I've got the engine sorted out to a point where I'm happy). I am going to make it like the RE2/3 Mercenaries, where your goal is to reach an extraction point, and you will be rated on enemies killed, time spent, and health items used.
4. I will make it show the cost for Extras next version. And yes, cheats are in the game, you have to buy the "Cheats" menu first, and cheats cost 1000 each.
5. See reponse for ironcobra
FAPCOMYeah, I was hoping people wouldn't notice the whole inventory thing. Reminded me of this:
http://www.tickld.com/images/content/10931.jpg I think it'd be too much work if we make the inventory unusable until you pick it back up, since I'd still have to make the skills menu appear, and there's a possibility of leaving the inventory behind when going to new areas.
I think it would be easier to make the "puff of breath" a separate object, and it should be easier to implement.
dik3yCrouching Frontal + Zombie = 3some
PAGE 38 RESPONSES:mafagafaGallery Menu - 500
Cheats Menu - 500
The actual items cost different amounts.
kuragariNo guesstimates coming from me, I'll obviously try to make it sooner rather than later though!
BlueLightLet's hope it's a little sooner than that.
HaruPoints earned from Mercenaries mode can be used on the Gallery and Cheats. There's more to come though, I'll let you know when I've added something to the extras...
mgs2That's the memory leak, fixing it.
FruitSmoothieYou are able to use all the cheats from this version, they cost 1000 each.
ZerroHehe I'll have to make a highscore page at some point. You're correct in guessing with the SS rank.
dik3yThe cheats are made for the purpose of making the game easier. If the player wants to use cheats for getting lots of whore points, go ahead. I'll make it so you can get a generous amount of whore points without the cheats though.
omotodracoThanks! Personally, I put Rebecca first, Claire second, Jill third. I'm not too much of a fan of Ada since she's quite the backstabber. I'd agree with your reasoning for Rebecca, and I used her for this game since her story is the most open in the games. You can also play the Mercenaries mode, be warned though, thanks to the memory leak you will only be able to play it a couple of times, then you'll have to quit and restart the game. And I have never heard of this other game...?
FAPCOMI'd agree with the later comments, a bit too much purple. (as in, alot) I think they should still look like the male zombies in terms of skin tone, it's not like they've mutated due to the virus.
xblurpThanks for the contribution! I think it could still use a little work, but I think FAPCOM would be a little better at guiding you artistically.
ZeroIn response to that, I am planning certain events which will give Rebecca the chance to perform choices to affect the outcome and her morality. These events will also have the chance to have a bad outcome for Rebecca.
KuragariThat's an interesting suggestion, that is how I planned the virus to be. However, 100% infection will be a game over since that craving for sex will overcome any willingness to defeat Umbrella, and as a zombie does, will go after infecting new people. I like the idea for making resistance harder depending on infection, I would have to balance it correctly with difficulties though.
Also, when submitting, Rebecca will still get fatigued (which is basically why she takes damage) during the intercourse, but she'd get tired a lot faster if trying to fight the thing off of her as well, which is why you take less (but still some) damage.
As a side note so you guys know what to expect in the future, SUBMITTING will not be available until you have fulfilled certain criteria. (one of them being, not a virgin)
PAGE 39 RESPONSES:The small disagreementI'm going to have to agree with Kriff, and I'm going to keep it quite Outbreak styled. If I change my mind and decide to completely revamp the system I'll let you all know.
BlueLightThe idea of the morality system itself isn't exactly what it says on the tin. The "Whore" path means that Rebecca is more seductive in her approach to situations (and obviously more prone to have sex), and the "Innocent" path means that Rebecca is more likely to reject those options. She is still focused on her mission in both, even though the "Whore" path means she takes a few "detours"
However, I don't want to ruin any suprises, so I'll leave it at that for now...
KuragariSubmitting during sexual grapples isn't the only way that Rebecca will gain whore points. It's just currently like that.
ByHisBillowingBeardSince I have seen this pop up in the later pages, I'll settle this now. If you haven't been on the inventory screen AFTER being fucked by zombies, the "Virgin" points changes to "Innocent" points. It only says Virgin while you are indeed a Virgin.
montesatlol.
KuragariHmm, thinking about it, this idea does seem a bit more sensible. I'll speak to FAPCOM. Although, I did have herbs reducing and freezing the virus as well (like in Outbreak). If I add in masturbation, I will remove this function of the herbs.
dik3yThose are some good pose suggestions, don't know if FAPCOM plans on making any more changes, but I think it's best to wait until the other enemies and base sprites are done.
Red.SheerI think that makes it too worthwhile to go around screwing enemies though, which isn't the aim of the game. Rebecca is still concerned about taking down Umbrella, and she still values her own safety (as in, doesn't want to become one of the things she's trying to kill.) It's a nice suggestion though, and I think a great game could be based off of that idea alone. (reminds me a bit of Dark Sector, or Prince of Persia)
PAGE 40 RESPONSES:trninja2You have probably moved the sounds outside of the game folder (or moved the game outside). Try just unpacking the zip as it is and playing straight from where you unzip it.
Lucky777True dat. Biceps + Syringe = Unbeatable combo
Red.SheerI've given you my thoughts on it. It's a good idea I'll give you that, and true, the idea of Rebecca whoring herself out to zombies has never been a part of Resident Evil (I wonder why that is...) and it's not meant to be a focus of this game either, hence why there will be no benefits to choosing that route (besides the "Whore" upgrades)
renma190Let's focus on the main game/mercenaries first, eh?
and Robin Williams in Weapons of Self Destruction is brilliant!
NemesisThat is indeed the aim of this game, I want to keep the RE spirit as much as possible. Obviously it will be a H-game first and RE game second, but I'm aiming for it to be as high quality as possible.
FAPCOMI'd have to say, I'd prefer the sludge over the sliding worm alternative. Brighten it and make it look more purple (as it is in RE0) and it make look a little better (and less like poop with the anal.) Although, maybe the Sliding worm will work if the suggestion about removing teeth and "thorns" is done.
Also, I think the best idea would be to finish Chapter 1 (I'll be sending you the map soon once I've finished it), then time can be devoted to creating the areas, events, etc. After that then we'll approach the Leech.
PAGE 41 RESPONSES:xblurpErm, just looking at that picture makes me think it will look more like poop than the current "sludge" leech. Oh and I'm not going to give any info on bosses at this time.
MeepEXPLODING LEECHES?! I think if one of those were to explode inside Rebecca... well, let's say everyone's already voted against gore.
and also, that would require redrawing Rebecca covered in said pixelly goodness.
trninjaGlad you fixed the problem, just beware the memory leak...
ZeroWell, the idea was there was to be one type of leech, that could 1) suck/bite on breasts and 2) go inside her, copulate, and release eggs. Also, since there's to be multiple leeches on Rebecca at the same time, leeches 1&2 would cover the breasts, and 3&4 would take both her holes. Once it got to 3&4, Rebecca could no longer resist (due to the fact she couldn't pull them out once they're in.)
xblurpKeep working on it, it takes time and practice but you'll get good eventually.
sgteveresHow old is your computer/the graphics card of your computer? I'd say try following the steps it gives you (lowering resolution.)
4access1. Memory leak.
2. I think it's because I set it to disable cheats in Mercenaries mode.
3. I'll add that.
4. I'll look into it, hasn't happened to me before.
5. I'll look into it.
6. Dunno about that, looks fine on my computer...
7. I don't think waiting 2 seconds until you can press Z is too much hardship...
8. Setting the slider all the way makes it so it's a 10/90 chance, if it was completely sexual attacks, it would be too easy, and all normal attacks, too hard.
9. I'll look into it.
10. I thought sound files were ok. Catgirl's quit the project anyway, which also means I'll need a new voice actor/I'll just take samples.
Main game mode zombies SHOULD stop respawning. I just made it so their health is higher in the main game (that'll change when I change mercs though...)
Correction, you can't get enough points YET.
Cheats shouldn't work in Mercs, I only added them to work for now, while there's no proper game and it's all still in "testing" mode.
Since the other sex sprites include cum on the end sprite, I can't make them cum more than once.
PAGE 42 RESPONSES:dik3yIt'll all change when I change Mercs mode.
TentacleShould be Z (action) key when on top of them (while not aiming).
4accessHmmm I can't really fix a problem that's caused due to windows 7. But to be honest, I run windows 7, and play fullscreen, and the taskbar is put behind the game when I play...
Oh, and I do read the blog posts, I just haven't been very active lately.
PROBLEMS W/ BITING & SEXUAL GRAPPLESRead what dik3y said, even with full sexual bar it's still 10/90, same with full normal. However, at the same time, I put a timer on the zombies so that they cannot have sex again for 30 seconds after sexing once. This is to stop mass rape-age of the player as soon as they recover from a grapple.
By the sounds of it though... I'll remove the timer.
PAGE 43 RESPONSES:FAPCOMRead the above responses to you in regards to updating.
SpectreHonestly, I do want to keep a constant stream of updates going, but I've been completely out of focus recently, and real life hasn't helped out. It's good to know you guys don't mind waiting though, and still give support. Thank you very much!
wantedThere is the basis of a game, I'm working on the new "3d" system, which when I send the map off will show it's full potential, and all the sprites should be used.
KriffThe "Innocent points" for killing enemies that haven't sexed you is a good idea, and it wasn't suggested before. I can implement that.
THE NAME PROBLEMThey're only called Virgin points while you are a Virgin. As I put, if you checked the inventory/status screen after losing said virginity, you'd see they're called "Innocent" points. Problem was solved before you even thought about it.
BuzzKillingtonThank you!
SEXY WOMEN IDEAI'm up for including that, but that means FAPCOM has to make women zombies. I'd rather time was devoted into getting further into the chapter creation first. As I put though, there are some "events" that will take place throughout the chapters, although those will involve non-infected persons.
Well, that's all of the responses. I'm going to go reply to all those on my blog now. I'll have the map done ASAP, and you should be able to look forward to Chapter 1 within the next few months. (depending how long room and event sprites take.)
Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
