Curious, this probably means there will be multiple moments in the game where you can "lose" your friend or if you can manage to keep him till the end (since I assume he won't be kicking anymore if he gets caught once..)
I mean... The monsters aren't all deadly or anything.
The purple haired monster squeezes him until her belly's full but he's still alive by the end of that. Maybe after chasing you, and you escape, he manages to escape too.

I really don't think that's the design direction here, the facial expression of the main character once and after he shoots his (first) load are very telling that there's no mental and physical coming back once you're grappled and used and I don't think it would be any different for that friend of his.
Keep in mind Zell's inital statement regarding game design was "Semen splatters instead of Blood", so this sounds like approaching a non-explicit horror scenario like "oh well after the blade-handed scarecrow eviscerates him he might just walk it off, he's fine"
I think these orgasms here fry your brain beyond any functionality other than sex drive and intaking pleasure, otherwise I feel like it would devalue the whole horror narrative.

Your friend talks to you though. He says to you, "RUN!"
So he's clearly still alive and sane.
Regarding the tagline it's obvious he's trying to invoke the horror atmosphere, but that doesn't necessarily include consequences.
It's not like they chopped off the kids arms and legs and made him unable to run away.
But yeah. My initial statement is that the monsters aren't deadly for the most part. Since it's Zell he'll probably include a vore monster somewhere though, and that enemy's most likely gonna be deadly.
Oh well to say anything else I'd need to see the scene myself then, was he "used" at this point already or is he freshly caught?
Who knows what'll happen to the game and it's previous design standpoints now that there's this other person influencing it. Maybe my personal preferences and hopes are talking out of me there.

I see your mentality.
Zell to you is the femdom guy, but please don't forget that zell himself changed over time.
He's been adding more male dominant scenes in his games ever since his fanbase grew. His most popular girls aren't the femdom ones. It's the yamabiko, and cat thief. Both are maledom.
In Shiro No Yakata there's already a male assertive paizuri, missionary and doggystyle scene.
Now for the most part zell hasn't changed but he's been aiming for broader appeal for a while now.
He's quite proud of Succubus Affection and that game tries to appeal to both sides of the sexual spectrum.

I didn't respond to this before, but I think it makes sense to dive into this.
Yeah that's a struggle. You can't really make sex with attractive women scary unless there's some physical threat at play. Zell's not into guro or any of that though thankfully, and he doesn't draw fugly monsters. They're all conventionally attractive at least.
I don't know what the game's story is gonna be, but I think instead of the game feeling like horror, it'll just borrow the horror aesthetic.
What he wants from the horror (from what I can gather) is the audio design, the weakness of the protagonist, and the strangeness of the enemies. Horror games also have very gimmiky designs for enemies and focus more on level design over combat. Seems to fit Zells desires to a T. The only thing I didn't mention was being horrific XD.
Personally, I don't see a problem with this, and if the protagonist gets caught it's for sure game over.
Personally I see the consequences of being caught/taken down by those girls as the following.
Endlessly being raped for the rest of your days by strange and powerful monster women as their prisoner. There's several dungeon/cage areas we know of already, obviously there for keeping their prisoners locked away while they're not being "used".
Yeah, it's a pretty straight-forward way of thinking, but seeing the two Sahagin girls imprisoning and taking turns with your friend makes me think that's the implied fate for both.
Well, unless the monsters in the wilderness catch you, they will probably just drain you where they caught you.
Well, we kind of have to choose between:
a) - Zell ded. No moar FOBS. He pulled the bobbin, the latch went up, the big bad demon cur ate him whole. RIP.
b) - Let's keep the thread alive, reminiscing the good ol' days, at least until rigor mortis sets in. Press F.
I'd pick the shitposting, hands down. Call it running away from reality Just a tad longer...
As for reality, I'm not sure this was confirmed before, but Shiro no Yakata is now officially part of the Demon mutt franchise (
I hate this site and how you navigate it, all I'm seeing is Succubus Affection again. Could you explain therefore? I'm very invested in the future of this game tbh

Sorry if I got your hopes up I meant this line: 現在は 2Dドットエロホラー系ACT「シロノヤカタ」を製作中です
Usually you'd go under 'posted articles' to get some news. But this is Maken Ansala we're talking about: we can expect any and all news/reports to be tightly locked behind a pay-to-read... As was the case for SA, to the point many of us thought of it as abandoned. If anything leaks, that'd be from Zell's place(s), with his good-natured, old-school non-profit publicity ('hey guys I made a sexy bunny today!').
I was pretty sure Zell intended to focus on SA2 with Ansala 1st, so he'd learn some Unity to develop Shiro himself... I'll keep my conclusions to myself.
Anyway, good luck finding new content for new fun memes... But perhaps Shiro no Yakata will come sooner than we all expect - it won't be Zell's, that is what I intended to confirm.
It won't be Zell's solely.
Zell is still involved and it's still his brainchild mostly. I doubt Ansala will have too much of a pull over this project if Zell specifically is involving himself as far as level design is concerned.
And if it's the sexual content focus you're concerned about, don't forget that Zell's actually proud of Succubus Affection from a sexual standpoint. Outside of lacking in vore content (which I'm glad Ansala seems to be against), I'm pretty sure Succubus Affection is where Zell is in sexual content tastes.

Maken Ansala's latest post on Ci-En
It's about Shiro No Yakata.
Hello
it will be from now on report of Shironoyakata center
October Shironoyakata Progress 1
● What I did Complete the
script and world view
Distribute the unknown for each
stage Determine the image of the stage ( let's make one side the animal ridge, etc.)
Script production
● Future flow
Planning the number of maps for the stage and the connection of the maps to some extent
Decide the movement of the character and prioritize stage 1
Implementation Planning and implementation of systems such as skills
Now that the story is
set, the next goal is to complete Stage 1. I'm
trying various things, but I want to complete it as soon as possible.
I'll do my best.
Chat Difference between Shironoyakata and SA
● Map The
map itself will become complicated,
hidden items will increase, and
the connection between maps will become somewhat complicated. We
are still considering what will happen to the collection points.
The purpose of SA was to fight, but the purpose of the
building is to solve the problem at that time toward escape
= It is not always necessary to fight, so
planning other than fighting seems to be important.
It's a different type from ARPG, so
it's fun to come up with ideas, but I'm struggling quite a bit.
● Aiming to escape from the battle hall, it will successfully surpass unknown (general term for enemies in the hall)
Even if you just run away and pick up the item, you can proceed, but
there is a merit if you fight and collect information ...
But it is difficult to win or
the flow of the game may be closer to the forest.
● I can't make friends like Unknown SA, but I
plan to capture and suppress it in a way that doesn't destroy the atmosphere.
● I 've been free
for two weeks normally, saying a few days from now. I'm sorry, the
Steam version of Succubus Affection has an atmosphere that may be coming out soon.
I will report on that again when the details are decided.
Along the way although that is promoting the planning of translation system of work and SA2
passed since I was six months from another SA launched
It was a blink
is more and more likely to be devoted to Shironoyakata
also because my best
thank you
So, it seems he's finished the dialogue system. Shiro No Yakata was Zell's first time putting dialogue into his own game since it seems the plot is relevant in this one.
Seems like most of the design decisions are done as well.
Like the themes of each stage, and what stage has what monsters.
What he needs to do seems to be creating each region's individual maps, and how they connect, and adding a skill system.
For Shiro No Yakata that means the invisibility hood and stuff like that.
For now, they're hyper-focusing on just finishing the first stage which is good. It's good that the design decisions are done too. With a firm grasp of the story, they should both understand what they want from their game.
Next he's comparing SnY with Succubus Affection and talking about the differences.
Seems Zell's really pushing for unique level design with hidden items and interconnectedness.
Because SnY's main gameplay isn't revolved around fighting, succeeding without combat is important.
Seems he's struggling on the design front when the gameplay doesn't revolve around combat.
I don't know if it's google translate or not, but... that should be "we" right? I'm pretty sure both Zell and himself are involved in designing scenarios that don't involve combat. In fact, that's Zell's main idea when it came to this game so he should be the one taking the lead here. Well... it is his Ci-En so talking about what he's personally doing is probably the most sensible thing. Zell doesn't post anywhere anymore really.
There might still be some light combat sections?
He says the flow is more similar to Forest of the Blue Skin.
Since there's no way to become friends with the enemies, they're thinking of ways to "capture" and "suppress" them for gallery? reasons.
I'm concerned about this. I feel like capturing the girls shouldn't be the way to make their scenes unlock-able. It might ruin the tone of the game.
So I downloaded the trial. did a new game got to the house, found the fruit was taken saw the pink monstergirl fucking the other boy, then it kicked me to what looks like the gallery. Any reason it did this?

Hey guys, am I dumb or is my version of the game bugged out? I just started a new game and I can't seem to get out of the first room.
EDIT: nvm, I was just dumb, didn't realize you had to go outside and then go back in and talk to the girl.
The price of not being able to read moon runes I suppose.
Also damn this game is way spookier than I expected it to be, actually felt real fear during the chase sequence.
