Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

Paypal isnt even selectable anymore for NSFW patrons, so yeah, you cant use it on Patreon.

I'm thinking one thing... if someone open a Patreon page as an artist and externally release the hentai contents , he could tag himself as non NSFW and would be able to use patreon as non NSFW.

He could tecnically put just some draw to say : hey i'm just producing art, the hentai stuff is another work (no one can stop you to do non related private things).
Tecnically this thing should work but you will not be able to put the image of the product on the home of the patreon.

It's like : support me as an artist , I just produce art on patreon , but I also produce hentai game (it's a non related patreon work).

In this way you are not producing hentai on patreon but just art and since you are just making money on patreon whit normal art , you can use paypal.
The only problem is that you will lose visibility and functionality (but you'll be able to use paypal since you don't violate the TOS). You can decide what to do whit your free time and what you can produce.

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

No real news yet. I figured I'd post an update when I had something significant to report. As always, I've made progress and things are slowly coming together. But, I don't know when the first chapter will be ready. I'm not giving out any more release dates at this time, as there is simply too much stuff that I've never done before for me to accurately predict how long it will take. Getting the entire battle system, stat formulas, experience curves, etc. took me quite a long time. I actually attempted about 4 different systems before settling on the one I'm using, which I like.

As others have said, I do make frequent posts on Patreon, and you only have to pledge a $1 to see them. Chapter 1 will be freely distributed, so even if you pledge now, you won't be charged anything until chapter 2. I set it up this way because I wanted people to see a good chunk of the game before making a decision. Of course, that was 5 months ago and I thought I'd have the chapter out to you all by now!

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

Thought I would pop in to say that I'm still pluggin' away at the game. The good news is all I left to complete now is a few maps (just sprucing them up a bit), 1 enemy's artwork, the enemy AI script, and a bunch of CGs. It will still take a bit, as I ended up letting a bit of feature creep into the project that added around 12 CGs, but it will make the battle "H" really cool.

Once I get all of this done, I got someone who will edit it, and I'll release it to my Patrons for beta testing for 3-5 days. Then, after I fix any major issues, I'll release it publicly. I'm excited to FINALLY be working on the stuff I love, drawing, mapping and writing. So, I anticipate I'll be motivated over the next few weeks and may actually release this sucker. Better late than never

Wish me luck!

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

Really enjoyed what's available and looking forward to chapter 1 (whenever it's available). I do have a question:

- Will monster's be re-spawning or non-re-spawning?

I ask because you've said that each different outfit will have different exploitable options, and if I understand correctly... each mob will exploit these outfits differently?

So if I want to see how X mob deals with the different outfits, will I need to save & reload to try the different outfits, or can I just come back and deal with a re-spawned mob?

Thanks!

The game's monsters work like this: 1. When you enter a map for the first time (or in a new chapter), there are a number of monsters which have infested the area. Once you clear those monsters, most of them stay dead. 2. When you sleep and a new day occurs, a few monsters will re-infest areas (1 or 2 per area). 3. Finally, every monster that can perform "H" attacks on Aylia will respawn at least once per day. Meaning, you can always go out and get into a battle with an H monster to see the battle graphics.

I believe this method is the best of both worlds. You can grind a little if you want, but overall, there should not be incessant battling as you move around and finish quests.

Status update: Spent the last week in a po'dunk town rebuilding a small bank branch's network and working around 14 hours a day. So, not much to report on the game. You will be seeing an update to my Patreon page this week and at the end of the week a real status update (since I have 2-3 days to work on the game). I'm in the home stretch for releasing this thing, and once I do, things should kick into high gear. Future chapters will go much faster, and this Fall, I'll be working full time on games. The future looks bright!

Thanks for everyone's patience. It has taken a long, long time, but I think you all will like the result.

The update is nigh? Ok, I know you don't want to set deadlines, so I won't ask when it's coming. But if I were to bet money on the chapter 1 being released within 2 weeks from today, how high would my chance of winning be?

If you are not a patron, you would lose your money. The chapter 1 demo will be released to patrons for beta testing prior to going public. I want to work out the kinks as this will be the major public demo going forward. I'd guess about a week between Patreon release and public release.

If you're a patron, I'd say it would be 50/50 on whether you'd win that bet. It depends on how motivated I am over the next two weeks and how badly my friends distract me during my working time (10pm-3am).

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

@rnkz: As PM21 stated, if you pledge you'll get access to the release early, but it will be released around a week later publicly. I'll probably fix a few things and polish the chapter further during that week, so waiting is not all bad.

@Viciouswaffel: The final game will be released fully to the community, so you won't need to pay anything at all. My hope is that people who really enjoy the game are willing to pledge towards future production. I purposely set my Patreon up in a way that you only pledge when stuff is released, so no milking the pledges here.

@Valgo: Thanks! The updated prologue is even better at showing off the different personalities, and chapter 1 takes it further. My goal is for people to get to know these characters, so the sexy stuff is that much better! And yes, Bogwort is awesome . Why does Kira creep you out? Haha.

@PM21: I take it you like the new banner? I know I do

@Xil: Thanks! I'd been meaning to update the description a bit, and am glad you like it. Yes, Hunter's Quest is more than a simple translation. If it was, it probably would have been done in February. As I played the game, there were just some things that really bugged me, so I felt the need to add to the existing game. Hunter's Quest is a good game, and hopefully my changes just make it a bit better. Plus, every game needs a tavern wench questline with groping!

Thanks for the comments! It is really motivating to see people still talking about the game after all this time. Now, back to work for me!

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

I already funded at least three kickstarter projects. I'm hesitant to become patron of other one when not even one of them is finished yet. Although one of them is about to finish soo.

And that is perfectly fine. In fact, I'd rather people play chapter 1 and get a real feel for the game before fully deciding on whether to fund the project. That is why chapter one will not charge Patrons.

I never want anyone to regret funding. That is my number 1 priority. The game may not fully suit someone's tastes, but my hope is that people get at least some of what they expect. Additionally, I take a bit of pride in the fact that I only run Patreon charges when I release content. I understand the monthly model, but as someone who has never released a game, I feel I should earn people's trust. This way, you always get something for your pledges.

Finally, what you guys got against panties! I think having a little clothing to tantalize is kind of sexy. Don't worry, Aylia will be fully exposed at some point.

Well it is kind of sexy but fully nude is usually even better.

On a more seriouse note though: It kinda made me wonder why a person would be trapped in a Crystal in panties only. If I'd be a god the person would be either fully clothed (don't get any ideas now!) or completely nude. There could be a good explanation for the latter, the panties kinda defeat whatever explanation that would be xD

But don't mind me too much, I'm just being me right now

That is a good point. When the Eliandre lost to the Gods, the Gods removed or destroyed all symbols of Eliandre power. Aylia was a priestess in her tribe, and her robes were ingrained with magic runes of power (most of which are lost to her at the start of the game). Therefore, her robe was destroyed along with a number of other artifacts--but, not all, as you will find out. This is kind of explained at one point, but as the story progresses, Aylia does not give it much thought. Her eyes are pointed forward.

Yes, it is strange that she woke up in nothing but her panties, something that confused her as well. Bogwort, on the other hand, doesn't question good luck.

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

@YummyTiger I agree, panties nude is better nude than nude nude.

I would have to agree, but I'll take it one further. I actually like the strip tease bit in hentai games. I like it when you have to work for it to eventually get her naked like Virgin Island (the gold standard for many people around here). Some of the games that had the most potential sometimes were a bit disappointing cause all of a sudden - BOOM - the protag is naked everywhere and with everyone. The games I find hottest and most enjoyable to play manage to find a good way to escalate things without getting on your nerves (and that's admittedly a very fine line).

I agree 100%, and that is ultimately one of the major goals in the game. A slow progression that heightens the experience. But, I also didn't want to release a prologue devoid of any nudity, nor do I want the player to have to play for hours before seeing any events. Hence, you have a few ecchi type events, and things get progressively more exciting as we go. Unless I completely screw up, there should not be a BOOM and Aylia is walking around naked and screwing everyone.

You're right though, it is a fine line. I've spent a lot of time planning this stuff out in hopes of getting it right.

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

Needs more mindbreak.

 

[YummyTiger]

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

Needs more mindbreak.

Well, right now I'd say it needs more of everything. Mindbreak in the prologue would have been a bit... awkward.

The "darker" path was funded and will be implemented. While slavery/mindbreak are not my cup of tea, I will be playing with these darker themes in that route. My primary fetish has always been reluctant corruption, a female heroine slowly giving in to more and more daring sexual advances. Not necessarily be raped, but also not initiating the encounter. So, you'll see plenty of this.

Additionally, as something of a rarity, you'll also have heroine initiated sexual encounters, especially if you take the more "pure" path and bolster Aylia's self-esteem. In the end, it will all depend on your in-game choices. Although, the three primary paths will be quite different (which should make for some cool replayability).

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

Finally got approved to post and I wanted to make my first one here. First of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart for working on an English H-RPG. I've been battling with partial translations and text hookers and translation software for months trying to make sense of many games over the last few months.

I'm delighted by your project and I wish you the best! I only played a little bit of it so far because the battles aren't implemented. I sorta felt like I was getting through the story without any challenge? I'm going to pick it up again over the weekend and play through the whole prologue. Keep up the good work!

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

' '/ Well, there IS one route where I'd say sits on the grey line between the 'dark' and 'normal' point.

Basically it's a development option in hypnotism/brainwashing path.

But instead of making the girl instantly obedient/puppet/slut, it's closer to slow conditioning.

Each session will include the character being subject to something (usually sexual, ranging from just groping to being put on a branwashing machine) and after that we get a small moment to show that the character has 'lost' something between each one (for example, initially it might be so the character is not disgust by the other guy, then being ok with some touching, go on until it's ok to call them with endearing meaning, eventually submitting completely)

Spoiler

Something like the hypnotist route in Arms Devicer as an example ' 'a

That Gears Freak game that hopefully will come out in a few days seem to also be aiming for this one, although the initial 'programming' is that the girl will forget everything that happened in there when she 'wakes up')

I say it's on the between line is because there's possibility of it making a u-turn back into vanilla ending (like the criminal learning something that made this whole thing moot and stopped it), although it usually leads straight to the 'she's my slut now' end. There's a few other possibilities tho

Spoiler

For example, a dark wizard falls for female knight at first sight. But she refuses to believe him and even blame him for crimes he didn't commit.

So he tries to condition those prejudices away from her mind and afterward earnestly court her from there.

A questionably vanilla end (since the love is real, but the method to overcome the initial hatred was...forced)

i.e. Ch 3-4 of this

Re: Aylia's Story - English H-Game Goodness!

Blah. I think the three different routes are good enough without splitting hairs as far as the corruption side goes.

I also think that the hyper-pure route will only be very fun if there are some instances where she has to have sex for whatever reason, especially if it's with Bogwort!

Yes, the "pure" route will still have sex. It is definitely not a virgin, or "hyper pure," route. It is the route where Aylia essentially takes a lot less crap from others and becomes something of a badass. Bogwort and others will still do their damnedest to exploit her though!

Also, good ideas on the hardcore corruption. I may use some of them down the line. Thanks!

Oh, so you mean the "pure" path can still have hardcore sex but only on Aylia's terms? If so, then that's definitely the path for me.

Just a question though, in the "corruption" path. Can she be evil without being the victim? Basically doing whatever the heck she wants and having sex on her own terms without being the victim?

Because I assume the victim path is the "darker" one.

Thanks in advance!
