Re: Outbreak Games: Home Invasion Demo Released! 1/Nov/2016

Played it and generally i would say it's quite well done. First I would say the things that i didn't like:

*SPOILER ALERT*

-It's that you have to treat your little sister as a puppy and that there is no other development for her.

-Another thing is that it seems it will be absolutely linear, I had expected a little more interaction and not just the "choose right choice to continue".

Now for the things i liked the most:

-It seems that the characters will not just be submissive, which i like a lot, I quite liked the scene with the big sister and the towel and how you didn't have full control on her (hope you will never have).

-I quite like the characters themselves, well except the initial view i had on all of them as bitches (and not in the cute sense).

-It seems well written, but I would have liked a more in depth dialogue tree with multiple effects depending on options and the characters personality base.

I agree - I prefer a touch more interactivity in my games, even something simply with a menu screen telling me how far along everyone is (and a reason why I should be keeping an eye on it). Right now you've built the game more as an interactive story and less like a game… if that's what you as the creator want that's fine but it makes replay ability suffer once someone's learned the route through.

The plot is great, I'm interested to see how it turns out.

This game is being created for me to learn how to make good visual novels and iron out all the kinks before doing big, full ones. This is indeed more of an interactive story rather than a full game. Unfortunately that means linearity will always be an issue.

As for the characters being bitches you're supposed to see them that way. Just remember that you're seeing them from Jason's perspective, though. Their pervy asshole brother that keeps peeping on them and otherwise creeping on his own sisters and mom. They have good reason to be a little bitchy to him.

Fair enough - do you think you'll build out the game's 5 days and then go back and expand or move on to another project? I love the setting/story so far, so I like the idea of more 'game' being added later but wouldn't hold it against you if you decide to start with something new.

I intend to finish up the five days and then add some bonus content to put on Nutaku and some bonus stuff for Patreon fans. Mostly alternate costumes and such.

I'll be doing bonus art and bonus audio for "extra scenes", though.

I actually don't mind it's more of a story then a game, because I really like where this is going

I think this game is developing my hypnosis fetish (which wasn't very developed at all.) Thumbs up. Can't wait for more.

Re: Outbreak Games: Home Invasion Demo Released! 1/Nov/2016

Big news, I'm gonna change the name of my game. Home Invasion was always a placeholder. This will be the new name and logo for the game in future builds. Once my next release comes out I'll rename the thread to Snow Daze.

Take a look at the new logo:

Re: Outbreak Games: Home Invasion Demo Released! 1/Nov/2016

Hey all, work is coming along on the next release! Just wanted to give you some previews of what's coming up:

Spoiler

Those are all new replacement character portraits save for the last picture - a preview of the scene for Jane on Day 3. Before you ask I've changed one of the art team so things may look a little different now. Let me know what you think!


EDIT: Kira's face has been adjusted somewhat to match feedback.

Re: Outbreak Games: Snow Daze Demo Released! 1/Nov/2016

Something about the shape of the face in the first picture seems...'off'...to me.

Like, the way the chin is pose it seems she's facing to the side but the way her eyes and nose are position they seem to be more of 'look straight at you' face.

Btw, out of curiosity, on which day will penetration happens?

I've seen a few comments like this so I've sent a note to the artist. Should be changed soon.

And it depends on your definition of penetration. Blowjobs? Day 3. Anal, Day 4, Vaginal, Day 5.

Re: Outbreak Games: Snow Daze Demo Released! 1/Nov/2016

So I've been quiet on these forums for a while now, but I'm ready to speak about Snow Daze again! Why? Because Chapter 3 will be released NEXT MONTH for patrons! This version is going to be absolutely spectacular. At the start of March you'll see Chapter 3. Not only does it add yet another day to the progression with four new fully illustrated scenes but there's also new character portraits and voice acting for Day 1!

Rather than just talk about what has happened since the last time I popped up, I'll show you!

These are character portraits. We really stepped up our game with these. They're at the ink stage right now; I'll post a few color previews once they're done. The designs are more refined than the placeholders we used in previous versions. Additionally there are tons of variations on expression and pose for each character, as well as a new outfit every day!

Spoiler

First these are the new character designs:

This is the only preview I'll publicly post of the outfit progressions. I've got the full pencils and inks for patrons that shows every girl's outfits.

But not only do the characters change their appearance over time, so do the rooms! Here's what day 3's bedrooms look like.

On the subject of backgrounds we're going to have a nice new title screen.

Now let's show those scenes! The scenes are longer and more complex than ever before. There's WAY MORE to every scene! That's why I feel pretty okay about showing you these color previews of Jane's day 3 scene and Sarah's day 3 scene. They're a very small portion of the full scene. And believe me, if you like these you're gonna love Noelle and Kira's scenes too!

I'm also going to preview some voicework here! These are the first ten lines spoken by Noelle.

Sarah's audio isn't done being edited yet but we're also doing something called "bonus audio" which is short non-canon sexy voice only scenes. One of these from every batch will be released for free, and that's here.

You must be registered to see the links

I'll put up previews for Jane and Kira soon!

As before it goes up on Patreon for exactly one month, then free to absolutely everyone the month after. Chapter 2 is 100% free so if you've never played it before go ahead and enjoy it! I hope you enjoyed the preview!

Thanks for the preview pics, they look awesome!

Re: Outbreak Games: Snow Daze Demo Released! 1/Nov/2016

First of all, might I suggest you put the images in spoilers (probably split into 3 groups, the inks, the rooms and the rest) to reduce the post size?

>Room change per days

Huh...not gonna lie, I didn't take notice of that.
Would there be an option to look at the rooms as the days progress later on? Because usually there's text/characters out front so it's hard to see all the details.

Press H and you can see the background without the text box in the way.

The voice acting is kind of rough to listen to. Both of them are trying so hard to sound like they have a deeper/higher voice than they actually do that it comes across as unnatural and silly. Probably don't have a lot of choices when it comes to porn voice actors but yeah.

Some people have given positive feedback and some negative. I think it's more on the positive side overall, but I understand that point of view. Some people don't want voice acting at all. The audio, be it the voice acting or the music can be selectively muted in the game menu. So if it doesn't add to the game for you there's no need to suffer through it.
