Re: Tales of Androgyny
Hey guys, dev here. Sorry about the small text in the earlier builds! Know that was a source of frustration. Been lurking this thread for a while.
So then! Anyone following this? Know what these guys are up to? Will the MC be able to fuck things or is this strictly a game for subs? Seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot if so, limiting their playerbase and all.
We're planning on having more proactive sex options - right now, the character can choose to give a handjob (or convert that into fellatio) and, in the right circumstances, they can mount an enemy cowgirl. As for the MC being the top, we'll be adding that to the encounters first, and eventually as a feature of combat. Right now we have a top encounter scene with the Slime, and in the current trunk build a scene with the Orc if you manage to defeat her.
As for what's up - the public build is about a month behind the patron build, so every time we release a new monthly version of the patron build we update the one up on itch to the previous month's. In the next build being released on itch, 0.1.16.0, we've got the centaur animated, although we got the palette-swap unicorn animated during this month.
We're also starting to work on more generic animations for various sex acts.
I merely love the fact this game exists. Even if it won't see any major updates due to it being a duo who works on commissions, it's still inspired many-a fantasy. The fine mix of lust and disgust portrayed through the battle-log is a bit contradictory, but few devs actually focus on it.
EDIT: Removed a statement.
This game is specialized to androgynous anal, it can be considered it's weakness if it wants to rack in the dosh, but unless they were to add in more specialty writers or appeal to a specific crowd as TF/TG or Furries it is unlikely it will cross over the 4k$-month gap.
We're not actually working on commissions - we're funding through Patreon, like the OP mentions, and we're doing monthly updates publicly, although the dev can only work on it on the weekends. As we build out the perk system, the MC will express lust or disgust to greater and lesser degrees, depending on the situation and their accumulated fetishes. We are going to branch out fetish-wise, although the current and probably continued focus will be on androgyne anal. That being said, we have crossed the 4k$-month gap.
i hope they streamline a lot of the battle stuff, seeing a ton of numbers for the player to figure out gets tiresome, also aesthetically displeasing as a game
Yep, we're in the process of stream-lining the UI, although I know it was a lot more numbers-based when this comment was made. We don't want to go too icon crazy, but we are providing tooltips where we see it'd help to make everything as discoverable and transparent as possible.
Btw, can someone confirm if the harpy blowjob picture is the only in-fight picture in the current demo? It was the only one I could find.
There's also one (which is now finished in trunk) when the Slime puts you in doggy, one for face-sitting/69'ing the Goblin, and one for fellatio with the Brigand.
For the moment being able to survive a long time is really painful and the town shops don't work completely. Either way it's enough proof that the games concept works well.
Yeah, we're trying to make longevity a bit easier - the latest build starts you off with more food and we're adding more food-gathering options (like beating the Centaur), but we are looking into making a bit more self-sustaining. Our end goal is that in certain modes, at least, you won't be able to self-sustain yourself indefinitely, but for now especially we know it's frustrating to restart. We have also added a quicksave option to help with that, though.
