Monster Girl Dreams is a text based BFRPG made in Ren'Py. (The BF stands for Battle Fuck.)
The game is currently in alpha and is in active development, and while primarily text based there is character art for many of the lovely ladies in game.
Erotic content contained within is primarily vanilla, M/F, femdom, and of course monster girls.

In Monster Girl Dreams you play as a male adventurer, freshly graduated from the adventuring school, Adventum!
Now you must venture across the home continent of the monster girls, Lucidia, in an attempt to get rich, or get fucked into submission trying. Also defeat the Demon Queen. Maybe.

At the start of the game you create your character and define their combat stats and weaknesses in a point buy system, and must choose at least one fetish for the monster girls to exploit with their temptations.
Gameplay functions similar to many standard turn based rpg games, but you utilize numerous sex techniques to defeat your female opponents, all while not trying to give into the enticing pleasures they offer.
Monster girls will have an array of status effects and temptations to throw at you, as well as the ability to put you into multiple sexual stances. They will probably also use their numbers to pin you down and fuck you silly!
But you'll be able to get the edge of your opposition by leveling up and choosing perks to help define your play style as well as equipping various items to boost your sexual powers even further, or to help make up for a weakness.
Or you could just say screw that, running forward without any planning, and get ravished into unconsciousness by the lewd monster girls.

You can also spend time getting immersed in the games whimsical setting and (usually) upbeat tone as you get to know some of the monster girls.
They might even hold your hand instead of trying to fuck you silly.



Feedback on what people think of its current state would be appreciated.
And please let me know if you find bugs.
Or typos. Which I'm sure there is.

I have the intent to allow the game to be relatively easy to mod. Which will allow people to make their own enemies, skills and items. Basically everything. Including adding images to enemies and scenes.
Good luck if you decide to try modding it! There's a guide in the game's download for those interested.

QoL

• Correctly ordering one of Club Mirage's drink combos now gets you a Key Item to act as a reminder of your prize. Additionally, Opal now mentions that guessing more combos won't get you extra stuff. By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.
• Tweaked the wording of Club Mirage's posters to make the related challenge clearer. By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.
• When you're in the Capital after Midnight and time passes, any status effects from Club Mirage (such as Tipsy) will tick down even if the day technically no longer progresses.

• Fixed passing the hidden 30 Willpower check when searching the staff room in Club Mirage booting you to Town.

• Shizu has new Breasts Skills for when she and her two clones have you in the related stance: Ninja Art: Triple Abyss and Ninja Art: Abyssal Maelstrom.

• In Nightmare Mode, generic enemies now give less Experience and Eros compared to unique enemies.
• For the sake of reducing Melody and Cadence's oppressive damage-dealing and toning down their overly strong buffing, the following changes have been made to their abilities: removed the Arcane Expert Perk for both of them; lowered the buffs of Celerity Cadence and Moxie Melody from 40 to 30; lowered the base Willpower reduction of the 'Music-Melted' status effects by 4 or 5, depending on the Skill.

Modding

• DamagePlayerFromMonster will now always display damage numbers and related information, both in and out of combat, and will no longer incorrectly display said damage on the enemy instead of the player.

v27.4 change log
Remember to load your save from the town square.

Also be sure to always install the game into a fresh folder (unless it's patch data) to avoid weird issues. Saves are kept in a separate location, so they're safe.

Content

• You can now trade specific rare items with Malicia to get unique items in exchange. If the option isn't there, ask her about her collection, which should make the "Relic Trading?" menu option appear. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
• Once you have partaken of consensual doll play with Malicia at least once, you can ask her to be more gentle, which will open two new scenes, as well as several non-erotic doll play scenes. By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.
• Relria now offers a new service costing 2 Levels. By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.
• Added a new event that can rarely occur when traveling between districts of the Capital at night. Can also be added during Labyrinth exploration via the 'A Perfectly Normal Walk' event. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
• The Minoni-centric mini-quest initiated back in 27.1 now has a Part 2, featuring a new scene with Minoni and an exclusive new Perk. By Valentin Cognito, edited by Threshold.
• Completing the aforementioned Part 2 will also unlock two new scenes with a kunoichi trainee. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
• The Harpy Tengus have a new combat event they can use when you're at highish Trance stacks and in no stances. It was added both to make in-combat use of their new CG and to make their fight a bit more different from the normal harpies'. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
• You can now unlock sparring with Level 10 Perpetua at her house if you have a high enough relationship with her, or if your level is somehow 10 or less. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.
• Once the above sparring has been unlocked, Perpetua can be fought as part of Labyrinth exploration via the "A Cherrylicious Encounter" event. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito
• Perpetua now actually has lines for when the player orgasms when in the facesitting stance, something she apparently didn't have before. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.

Art

• The Toxic Matango now has a CG, which is used both in her fight and in her loss scene. Art by Applehead.
• The Harpy Tengus now have a CG they use in their new combat event, as well as in the already existing loss scene which triggers when you lose to two of them. Art by Houpo.
• The Guild hall now has its own background. Art by DOPPEL.

• Added a 'Look for trouble.' option in the Starlight and Aphrodesia Districts, for when you're intentionally trying to get an encounter.

• Beris can now actually use Blue Blaze Impulse Drive in a penetration stance.
• Fixed another niche case of the game not updating stuff properly for some people.

• Fixed counterattacks that use certain functions not reverting to the correct attacker and defender targets.
• The Bed-Chan and Aiko scenes now have more consistent post-scene music changes.
• Fixed escaping Shizu's Anal stance leaving her CG on display.
• Assorted typo-fixing and editing.

v27.3b change log
Remember to load your save from the town square.

Also be sure to always install the game into a fresh folder (unless it's patch data) to avoid weird issues. Saves are kept in a separate location, so they're safe.

• May have fixed a crash related to vfx when loading a save in certain circumstances.

• Fixed people with weird version numbers getting missed by the save updating.
• Assorted typo-fixing and editing.

v27.3a change log
Remember to load your save from the town square.

Also be sure to always install the game into a fresh folder (unless it's patch data) to avoid weird issues. Saves are kept in a separate location, so they're safe.

Fixes

• Fixed android/mobile version not applying the gui changes they're supposed to, and leading to very janked ui elements.
• Fixed an issue with some saves not updating properly leading to crashes when level drained.
• Fixed an broken image call in Melody Cadence content.

v27.3 change log
Remember to load your save from the town square.

Also be sure to always install the game into a fresh folder (unless it's patch data) to avoid weird issues. Saves are kept in a separate location, so they're safe.

Content

• A new character and her level drain massage parlor have been added to the Aphrodesia District, featuring multiple conversations and lewd scenes. This character can initially only be encountered at random, but can be visited intentionally after the first encounter. By Threshold, edited by Valentin Cognito.

Art

• The Manticore now has a tail pussy CG used in her fight, as well as in a few of her other scenes. Art by Applehead.
• Kotone's chamber now has its own BG instead of a placeholder. Art by DOPPEL.
• The Labyrinth now has its own BG with 5 different variations depending on the floor. Art by Elakan.
• The new character's art is by Otani.

QoL

• Updated to the newest version of Renpy (8.5) after multiple background code updates across MGD releases, resulting in roughly 30% better performance, notably in relation to game startup, menu bubbles, and Labyrinth traversal. Ported by feltcutemightcleanlater.

Modding

• The names of Kaia's expression files now properly match the names of her expressions in her monster file, which should make things a little easier for everyone to parse.
• [RecoverAmount] is now called instead of [FinalDamage] when showing the amount of Arousal removed from an enemy by the "SemenHeal" function, or the Energy drained from the player by the "EnergyDrain" function.
• The DrainLevel function now exists. By Threshold, with special thanks to NobodyWhoBlinds for streamlining it and helping make sure it won't explode peoples' characters, as well as to feltcutemightcleanlater for benchmarking it.
• The Skill keys requiresPerk and requiresPerkSelf will now take into account whether there are multiples of a Perk, in case this is required for the Skill at hand to be used. e.g. ['Swift', 'Swift'].

Fixes

• Willpower damage reduction now actually works the way I intended it to in the last patch, and can also no longer crash the game if you manage to reach exactly -100 Willpower.
• The loss scene with 2 Harpy Tengus and the one with 2 Harpies should now play properly again.
• Fixed a broken image call which could occur during Shizu's fight if you didn't know her name.

• Fixed the EmptySpiritCounter function not working properly.
• Trisha and Kaia no longer incorrectly display damage numbers when healing or draining Energy from the player.
• HitPlayerWith and HitMonsterWith functions should now always display damage dealt on the correct character.
• If Vili teleports out of a Restraint while in her titfucking CG, the CG will now no longer erroneously persist.
• Venefica can no longer use Umbral Caress while in the Nursing stance.
• Two of the stat checks to resist Venefica's curse now properly use Willpower instead of Intelligence.
• Kotone should no longer leave you at 0 Spirit after some of her scenes.
• Assorted typo-fixing and editing.

v27.2a change log
Remember to load your save from the town square.

Also be sure to always install the game into a fresh folder (unless it's patch data) to avoid weird issues. Saves are kept in a separate location, so they're safe.

Balancing

• Updated the Willpower damage reduction equation. It now gives a bit more damage reduction at higher Willpower, while also scaling up faster at negative values, but capping at -100 Willpower (x3.33333 damage), in order to avoid numbers possibly overflowing into oblivion and making the player immune to damage.

Fixes

• Redid the 'first come, first served' scene pick-up method in order to account for modding additions. Now, whenever a mod has a victory/loss scene with the same stance requirement as a base game scene, the game will pick randomly from among the available scenes.
• The Melody/Cadence Skill for swapping from Face Sitting to Sex when neither of them are riding the player can now actually be used, meaning they will no longer be stuck Face Sitting you once their partner is defeated.
• The Willpower debuffs caused by Melody/Cadence and other similar fights can no longer overflow, which could cause them to do only 1 damage on hit.
• The descriptions of Fragrance Rune's effects are now all consistent with each other, as well as with the rune's actual effects.
• The name of Spectra Jelly's buff effect is no longer improperly labeled as Veloci Jelly, which also prevented players from using both Jellies at the same time.
• Succubus Juice's buff effect is no longer improperly labeled as Drowsy Dreamer, which also prevented players from using both items at the same time.
• The Mimic will now use her other loss scenes and not default to her stanceless loss scene.
• Assorted typo-fixing and editing.

Re: Monster Girl Dreams Alpha v4 (BFRPG)

Hmmm, not bad I'd say so far. I noticed an early bug of sorts, in the intro bit when Vivian gets interrupted, the other girl's dialogue isn't called up. It gets the like, EventFlag text or something instead.

Went and made a version of a character of mine in it though. He didn't last long. As it turns out, being weak to most things, with a sensitive cock, doesn't matter even if his Energy is high, hahaha.

Re: Monster Girl Dreams Alpha v4 (BFRPG)

Very nice base for a game.
Some things i found:
1. Can't buy any skill or items even through i do have the right stats and have enough eros. (buttons don't light up)
2. If you go to page 2 in Elena skill buy, you also move to page 2 in Elly skill buy so when you try to learn skills from Elly you get everything empty and nothing to buy
3. More that 1 enemy at the same time is quite impossible, especially if you have oral weakness and fighting against 2 elves.
4. Is impossible to run away if the enemy puts you in a stance each time after you break up. (Especially annoying when fighting against elves and even more if fighting against 2)

Re: Monster Girl Dreams Alpha v4 (BFRPG)

I'm going to test this because it hits upon one of my kinks. If it is disappointing, I'm going to Liam Neeson you.

Don't make me Liam Neeson, sir.

Also, can you people start using goddamn tags? What's the point of campaigning for the search function to be repaired if none of you bother using the one thing that the function requires?

Combat balance is something I still very much need to work on.
and I will.
I've updated the game to hot fix those issues, as well as some others I found.

Well I hope you like it.
I recommend you grab the fixed ver as turns out, there were some errors.
Possibly still are.
And I am sorry I didn't use the tags when I posted as I had no idea they even existed at the time.

Re: Monster Girl Dreams Alpha v4 (BFRPG)

Happens to the best of us!
I admit, I'm a bit curious as to how this game would play if you could play as a heroine instead of a hero... but I wouldn't imagine that'd happen.

EXACTLY that, except with monstergirls. Oh, and on the topic of MGQ...

This game has a somewhat MGQ-esque feel to it. The hero "chosen" by the Goddess, a "demon queen", etc. It's hitting all the tropes, which is neat. Not a huge fan of the sex-fighting gimmick and kind of wish you didn't use it. That said, it's alright for what it is.

Good:

-Status effects.
-Story
-Concept

Bad:

-Very bare-bones.
-Lack of images can be a turn-off for some. Your short descriptions are okay, but rely too much on one's imagination.
-Going back to the first point, the fact that we have only one area and so few enemies (3 is not sufficient, and most devs who have art, etc at least 10 enemies, multiple areas, etc) makes this feel like a rush-job with no perspective on how to garner interest.
-Learning skills and buying/selling buttons don't work.

There are a few issues outside of the listed points I would like to address, as well. You've got a pre-emptive patreon link, which makes me think this was slapped together in an hour with the hope of capturing some of the magic that made Fenoxo big. Your issue is, Fen had more than 3 enemies, one area, and a shoddy excuse for a "main hub" to release to people. He also doesn't paywall content, although free players have to wait for content that paying players already have access to. CoC, Mutant Minx Meltdown, and other such text-based open-world games had a fair-sized chunk of content in their first alpha to entice players before money was brought into the discussion (if at all).

I like the concept (even if the style of combat isn't my cup of tea) and hope you'll continue to develop this game. Unfortunately, I'm also one of those people who, after seeing a bare-bones "proof of concept" and a patreon page, gets suspicious and decides it would be better to invest my time elsewhere.

Well the buying issues are now fixed, I am really sad that was in this update.
Damn pre-build change that I didn't check because I was sure it wouldn't break anything.


But you still make a lot of good points.

It is still very bare bones, retrospectively probably should've waited one or two more versions before making a patreon. Maybe even a few more than that.

For the hub town, I really, REALLY need to add onto that.

Technically there are 5 enemies. But your point still definitely stands.

Will definitely be looking into expanding the space I have to work with for character descriptions given the lack of character art.

Overall I have a ton of work to do.

I don't mean to come off as harsh, so I apologize if it sounded that way. I don't mind things about the hub town as much mostly because it's, well, just a hub. Buy and sell shit, maybe a few events happen, etc. It's probably the least on one's list of things to improve, so don't feel pressured to make it exciting or shit.

My main issues are lack of encounters and areas to explore. At least one dungeon to accompany the forest would show some dedication to continuing the project. Also, art isn't a primary focus for text-based games so long as scenes and such are sufficiently-detailed. Hell, for the time being, I would even suggest just grabbing some widely-available art from places like e621 and Gelbooru and uses them as placeholders while you build the game to a more "functional" state.

The patreon thing is definitely a red flag, and I can respect someone who recognizes that they might have been a bit quick in their rush to "cash-in", regardless of how innocent their intent. The dev I'm supporting did the same thing as you did with having little more than a proof of concept and a promise. The deciding factor (for me, anyways) was his dedication to the project and the style of content he produced. He's now a year in, re-working the models, and adding more each month. I would give it another year before we have a full game.

Point is, I like what you're offering, but wish you'd put a bit more into it before releasing an alpha. Text-based stuff is pretty common nowadays, although good text-based content is sparse. I checked your patreon page and saw that your goals are realistic and you plan to dedicate a questionable amount of time to this project. Biggest hurdle for any developer is meeting deadlines and producing worthwhile content at the same time. Have praise-worthy goals, but don't be unrealistic. Writing isn't as easy as some people think, and it's not something you're always going to feel the motivation to do.

 

[krisslanza]

Re: Monster Girl Dreams Alpha v4 (BFRPG)

There is definitely some MGQ influences/references in this though. The Angry Lizard Girl event might feel like a certain someone you may know and love from MGQ...

Something I've thought of from playing some more, but shouldn't there be some kind of dialogue/reaction from the opponent if the hero cums?

Re: Monster Girl Dreams Alpha v4 (BFRPG)

So am I unable to edit the threads name or its tags after I have created it?
Or am I just unable to figure out how.

Well my personal problem with the hub is that the NPC characters in it are kinda non-existent, I mostly just want to expand on them for the hub, at the very least give them proper introductions.
And let the player work at Vivian's Inn/Brothel.

Content like more enemies, quests, events and the first dungeon should probably be what I should be focusing on for a bit. Probably just content period.

Also thank you very much for your feedback.

There is definitely some MGQ influences/references in this though. The Angry Lizard Girl event might feel like a certain someone you may know and love from MGQ...

Something I've thought of from playing some more, but shouldn't there be some kind of dialogue/reaction from the opponent if the hero cums?

I do plan on adding more to monster dialogues, so it's definitely something I'll work on in the future, as well as allowing enemies to react to certain attacks used on them.

So am I unable to edit the threads name or its tags after I have created it?
Or am I just unable to figure out how.

Don't know about the tagging issue, but pretty sure you have to ask a moderator to edit the thread name. Your account doesn't have too many posts to it, either, so you'll run into issues posting links.

Yes, edit your first post in advanced mode to change the title iirc. Hit edit on the post in question and in the bottom right corner of the text box click the Go Advanced button.

As for tags, scroll down to the bottom of the window while viewing the thread, there should be a box labeled tags, and click the edit tags button.

I think you need more posts.

That's good to hear!
I imagine this is a longshot, but any chance of playing as a heroine in this, or will it strictly be playing as the hero?

Seems great so far, i love the approach with the random events, has a combat system somewhat similar to Succubus Rhapsodia where you get put into different states with various holds and weaknesses.

I'd really love to see more traps like the Inn.

Great job so far, keep it up.

This looks really interesting. I'm going to have to keep an eye on this!

Short answer: Male protag only.

Long answer: To be honest it isn't completely outside the realm of possibility for me to add in a female protag. But a female protag would basically need her own story, own versions of events and/or new events, and a bunch of changes to the combat system. It would basically double the amount of work I'd need to do, if not more. So for now, and probably a long time, I am going to stay focused on improving and expanding on what there is now rather than spread myself thin.

I'm glad you like it!

On a sort of related note, I'm considering fusing events and traps in to a single events category given they are very interchangeable.

Re: Monster Girl Dreams Alpha v4 (BFRPG)

Some initial feedback;

-I like the setup. It's pretty amusing and creative and a fun plot twist. Seeing the MC and especially lizard girl's ways of dealing with it is really fun.

-Might just be I can't find it yet, but it doesn't seem like there's much interaction with the Blowjob status. Making Out you can (in theory) use for deep kiss, Sex has Thrust and Pound, but BJ doesn't have anything like a throatfuck, grabbing dem elfin ears and trying to take control, etc. Speaking of making out...

-Deep Kiss hasn't actually worked for me yet, even when I'm in the Making Out status (not exactly hard with elves...) I always get the message it failed.

-Also on the note of elves, considering how well they tag team you - one just hoovers your dick and the other hoovers your lungs - it's a bit of a letdown that when you lose, one of them stops existing while the other fucks you. Seems like a prime opportunity for a messy threesome.

-Have I mentioned I like the elves a lot?

-Alraunes are great too, especially their loss/surrender 'endings'

-Two-enemy battles are REALLY fun for the H possibility, but very non interactive after a point. With one elf glued to your dick and one facehugger, most of your actions are sealed, you can't really interact with either of them with most of your moves. I actually like the idea a lot, just feels like I should get some new options there since they're both latched onto me and not going anywhere. Throatfuck, double grope, give in to the thiccness, whatever.

-I like the Inn mini plotline and the choice you can make on the second time around, but it doesn't seem to effect much, you still get drained/drugged the same. That section seems like it has a lot of potential though and the innkeeper is interesting.

-There's very little fanfare for cumming in battle. No one reacts, you just get stunned for a turn and enemies get to pile on some free lust, and then everything continues as normal. I'm not saying there should be major out of battle losses to it (kinda annoying when you lose permanent stats for trying to enjoy the content in a h game) but larger consequences in battle, like setting the enemy you came on in a lust frenzy or something, could be more interesting to play against!

-Not sure if this is a bug or I'm just unlucky, but I've NEVER seen the second elf use Blowjob Assist and neither of them uses Magical Binding

-I can't seem to get images to work when customizing stuff, are there any special rules for that? Either nothing shows up at all or it gets an error saying it can't find the image whether I give the full location, including file type, or just move it into the images folder and use "name.png" still gives the error.

-4+ monsters in one location breaks the scroll bar
------

Overall it seems like a great start to a game that I can see myself enjoying enormously - the framework you have down now is fantastic! Writing is solid too, which is the part where these games make or break. Definitely looking forward to seeing more. Spent a few hours today messing with the modding and adding a few new enemies to mess around with, those damn commas keep getting me! haha
