Despair Labyrinth (RPG) Feedback / Discussion Thread

[Lucky777]

Gonna need more people to sound off again, but for me, it's multiple simultaneous penetrations that win out.

Only reason the Sailors' turn-taking scene takes precedence is because it was more detailed, longer, and the chick cums pretty hard.

[KITAmaru]

Hrm... well, the way I do it is that on each event, there are several conditions that I can pretty much have defined; up to two switches (though more if I use conditional branches), a variable, self-switch, and item or actor existing.

I can have like 9999 switches and a ton of variables, which are used less often anyway. Only up to 999 common events, however. So the only difficulties I have as of recent would involve the realization that I only have so many common events, and the requirement for more than two switches; which can all be done with a simple conditional branch, but can be a pain depending on what I already have in the event--or that could just be my laziness / wanting to write instead, eh heh.

[sky-eye]

Going to have to be contrary and say I prefer turn-taking. I suspect the popularity of the three sailors was to do with the situation rather than the three specific characters, but I certainly wouldn't mind a repeat performance from them.

Also bear with me here while I have a ramble about the Asella/Rhiannon scenes. I try not to bring the topic up because I know a lot of players couldn't care less about what's basically one more fetish in the game, but I'm a huge yurifag. That means I've read/watched a lot of it, and so, so much of it is the same cliches over and over again. That scene, though? They insult each other, and then one gets beaten and raped. And yet it still feels kind of like a really weird flirtation. That's actually new; I enjoyed it just for that, even if you didn't intend it to have that vibe. Well, actually I enjoyed it because it was hot too, but that's beside the point in this case. Their chalk-and-cheese dynamic is great, although maybe they're not really that different in some ways.

I know that's not the most helpful thing to pick apart, but it was an interesting realization. So thanks for that.

[KITAmaru]

Heh, admittedly, it was a little forced. But now that you mention it, I suppose it's not terribly within most yuri cliches (it's maybe something you'd see in some type of yaoi slash fanfiction, huh...) due to its somewhat... aggressive nature. You can thank Lucky and T-A-B for the bandit getting involved if Rhiannon wins, since that was a specific fetish requested--one of them that I decided would be a good idea to indulge.

Perhaps the inspiration for Asella and Rhiannon's dynamic is something akin to Ky and Sol (Guilty Gear series); Rhiannon fights the system whereas Asella upholds it, amongst other clashes of ideals. Other girls in the Primary 8 will be matched up with one other person, of which you'll have to see, and share a special dynamic but not necessarily matching that of Asella and Rhiannon's, since they are all unique characters in their own way.

What I loved about the willing sailor scene is what it represents for characters like Emilia, Asella, or Cesca. When the game first starts they'd never agree to just let a group of horny sailors fuck them just because they asked. And not just fuck them, but agree to be pushed onto a table in a crowded bar and be used like a fucktoy. There's no secret goal, and it's not a punishment. It's just the character being willing to be used in any way by a group of horny men because after what they've done in the Labyrinth already it's what they want. Rhiannon and Thyme are also great in it for different reasons by being aggressive in return.

It's a hot scene and I'd love to have more interactions with the sailors because of those elements of lust and willingness. I prefer multiple penetrations and a scene with all three focused on the character would be great, but I also like the idea of them just casually passing her around using her however they wish. I mean she's hot and willing what's the hurry? I'd also be into a scene with the bunny girl, but an option that let you choose to allow some of the patrons/sailors to join in or you could tell them to just enjoy the show would make it for me.

I know you're wanting to expand the story and area so I don't expect to much focus on older scenes anytime soon. I'm excited to see what new stuff you come up with in the next patch anyways. I really enjoyed the latest one, especially the Asella/Rhiannon scenes and the Brawler group scene. (Also love that Emilia/Rhiannon 100th hit pic)

[hentailover]

I would like to see a wooden horse scene and more beastiality scene maybe combined with netorare like in seikaju no reigoku, where the girl is forced to have sex with a dog while her captain and i think her secret love is watching her

[Mango]

Lumina is the Holy Royal Guard that you run into in the first new area, with the white suit of armor.

I knew it was a stupid question. Thanks for answering anyway.

As for which NPC I'd like to see more of, I have to go with Wolfram. I don't know why someone like him (or at least what little we've seen about him so far) is working for the Syndicate in the first place but it must be a very good reason. Wait, either Wolfram or that futa from the stalls. Really, what's her story?

Some more Enyo would be fun if for no other reason than to smack her around a few more times before the final confrontation. Lumina and Illia might also be interesting to see later on. Nebula and her minions don't interest me much though I can't quite figure out why.

I've just been killing them for the EXP every time. I was planning to grab both scenes later but now I'm interested in seeing it.

Id like to see more of Nebula. On, my first playthrough of the plant section at the time I was Lanie so I enjoyed the school arguement chat. After, which time she summoned her Ogre plant thing and well I lost due to lack of potions and lack of armour on Lanie. So, yeah I think some kinda payback there would be awsome XD

[KITAmaru]

Thanks for registering for the purpose of providing feedback! I really appreciate it when the community gets involved and shows that they actually care enough to post (which, for some ex-lurkers like me, is kind of a big deal, or can be...).

SunnyDaze-
Hrrm, very cool. Yes, when people can kind of 'feel' their characters' Purity going down, it's mission accomplished for me, for the most part; even though it's not the MAIN mechanic of the game, it's a big one. Generally, I look at it like this; at around 80 Purity, the character is willing to shamelessly offer herself to someone she likes or finds attractive. At 70, she can do so with a complete stranger. 30-45 is usually to the point of taking on groups willingly or at least enjoying a gangbang, respectively, and it goes down from there.

Yes; each patch has a primary focus on at least 2-3 new H-scenes (although it's been more like 5-8 as of recent, really) and new areas, that much can be expected. Any 'old' stuff I go over will generally be done as an afterthought, so don't worry, I definitely prioritize 'new' material over the others, usually.

hentailover-
Heh, wooden horse I can definitely do--got a couple of those. Now, netorare is one of my not-so-secret favorite fetishes, but I'm somewhat saving it for a special occasion with regards to context; so don't worry, NTR lovers will definitely get theirs, but it's more of a question of 'when' since I would like to fit such a thing into the storyline and make it have an impact. As for bestiality, that'll also happen with different animals/creatures but unfortunately not a dog thus far, mainly because I can't find a 3DCG mod for it. But when I do, of course, it's on.

[Torboto]

Very enjoyable, I was suprised by how well the game works even at this early stage. I am really looking forward to the next updates.

[merctime]

Hi there, Posted over at the game's primary thread also. Got to say, fine work here. Very well done. I haven't voted yet, as I've only tried this with Thyme so far. But, would love to ask about an idea? I don't think this has come up (well in it's entirety). I know there is already Shota content in this (and it was HOT)... But there is a bit of a niche inside of Shota that I really love and don't get to find a lot of. Wondering if anyone else, or you, would think this would be fun to add to Dlaby? Basically this:

Straight Shota, with a 'blackmail' element. Where the Shota uses some kind of knowledge, possession, or any kind of 'leverage' to force the mature woman into doing what he wants sexually. I like this, because it puts the Shota in charge, especially since in they're youthful vigor they only seem to indulge in what they want, and go about that with a reckless enthusiasm that seems to overpower the older lady. Or, more to the point, they don't even recognize the need to satisfy her; only understanding a very primal selfishness. Could end up in a 'mind break' kind of situation, where the lady slowly ends up realizing that she really does want to indulge in such an activity willingly... And enjoys being controlled by him... Although she still may pretend to be resistant or reluctant to comply. Only been able to find a few hentai like this, and would love to see something like this in the game. By the way, anyone know of any good hentai up this alley, please let me know ^^

[KITAmaru]

Thanks for the support!
Hrrm, that sounds very much like a standard trope of many 'mature woman' type h-doujins and the like. I'll definitely consider it at one point or another, depending on how it fits into the storyline or even just the context of some situations that might pop up.

Within the next few patches we'll be entering the Arcane Division, so all those people that voted for tentacles and monsters can rejoice. They obviously won't be making the witty/lewd comments as much as the bandits of the Rogues' Division will be, but these things definitely will have the instinct to mate, and will perhaps be looking to take it out on an unfortunate adventurer...

[proxxie]

I registered just to post here, so the first thing I want to say is that I really appreciate the work you guys are doing. It's obvious a lot of time and thought have gone into this, and i'll definitely be following this project! The writing is top notch, and the fetishes are right up my alley, and the CG is well done. The purity system is also a nice touch

It's almost too bad you decided to have so many female leads, since that increases the work involved with each update exponentially, but you've done a great job managing it so far. My favorite scene thus far is definitely The Stables - particularly the horse, the futa girl and the orc - and being able to "volunteer" for it was really cool as well. It might be interesting to add some dialogue from Gwyn giving her reaction when you do that (or volunteer for other perverted things). It might also be interesting if there were some way to volunteer both you and Gwyn for stable duty!

Things I would personally like to see in the future:

1. More bestiality!
2. Egg laying/monster impregnation (perhaps Nebula and her pals could use you as kind of a monster-breeding guinea pig)
3. More stuff with the futa girl - she seemed interesting.
4. More scenes in The Stable
5. A stables-ish scenario where you're focused on servicing monsters/animals (maybe in conjunction with #2)
6. More straight shota!

Anyways, the game is great stuff so far, and I just wanted to thank you for the time and effort you've put into it. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next!

[Theclauser]

Hey Kita, because of these nazi-esque restrictions on lurkers so we can't send private messages (spam or something), I have to type my ideas in public. God, WHY? Anyways, here's my dumb idea.

So somewhere along the dungeon there's a pack of werewolves. They're all basically giant wolves, except for the leader, who would be a more humanoid wolf-man type. So after fighting through the other werewolves to get to the leader, the player could be presented with several options:

High purity: Become the werewolf's "mate," immediate H-scene potentially lose the character's virginity in the process, but gain the leader werewolf as a party member and snuggle buddy.

A low purity character could simply submit to the head werewolf and be passed around the pack like a sexy chew-toy, and be allowed to leave afterward.

A third option would be to fight the head werewolf. A win would allow him to join your party without the aforementioned sexings (high purity), or a low purity character might decide to make him a doggy sex-slave. Or you could kill him! Oh, and a loss would be a game over as your character is bred by the wolves, over and over and over...

Fourth option! Give Gwen to the wolves for breeding. This could gain the loyalty of the wolves, or maybe just a material reward. Oh, and of course it would be a rather low-purity option.

Anyways, that is my dumb idea. Furries, bestiality, romance between (wo)man and beast, I bet it would make a lot of people (but mostly me) very pleased.

I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN, PLEASE PUT MY IDEA IN YOUR GAME.

So, HIGH purity bestiality which RAISES purity.

... WELP

Good luck with that.

[Savyar]

I never planned to make an account but I really love your game though i only just started playing it and only with The holy royal guard so far (I plan to do the rest but I got exams). I have to say i wanna see more of wolfram I wanna learn more of his back story. I was also wondering if there would be a way to help some of the broken girls but they oddly I feel sad for the broken girls(Probobly becuase of the maid scene).

I enjoyed all the scenes regardless of the fetish. But i really liked the revenge on the slave master that was good and the slime one and the twins.
I liked the scenes with gwyn.

The romances raise the purity meter, as it stands currently. It's a mechanic in flux, but that's how it's laid out. Romance with an animal would do that, which is what I was
talking about.
"Good luck wit DAT."

Casual sex with an animal would not raise the purity meter any more than casual sex with a human, though.

If your complaint is that the only horse scene currently is mixed in with the other stalls stuff, then that's all right. I don't suppose a few animal-only or mainly-animal scenes would necessarily be impossible. Would probably require low purity to submit willingly, though, because I doubt any of the primary 8 are into bestiality in a high purity state.
I CERTAINLY haven't heard of any plans for a "preference" statistic, and I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for one to be implemented unless KITA said otherwise.

There's one thing I can tell you, though, from what KITA's already said.

More bestiality fun is definitely already planned, though I can't say whether it also involves human handlers or not.

[Theclauser]

I like your idea now that you've gone into more detail about it, Hind. Big Red XIII fan! My idea is more like Beauty and the Beast, I guess. Except with less ballroom dancing, and more sex.
