Re: Wolfenstahl
First of all:
Thanks for the comments again.
I really appreciate comments and criticism!
I for one love your grab system, Wolfenstahl. Keep up the creative ideas, and don't get discouraged when one of them doesn't work out the way you wanted it to.
Maybe you could add an option for how players do the grab. Let them use the current grab system if they like, but also implement an alternate system that doesn't give the player quite as many advantages, but is a little easier to wrap your head around.
Probably not for this particular game - I understand budget and time constraints - but it's an idea for future games. I'd hate to see you throw away such a good idea.
I'd also suggest giving the player some sort of incentive to get grabbed, some sort of advantage besides the H-scene. Perhaps the implementation would be two systems, one yours and one where the player just mashes buttons. If the player uses your more picky system, the player gets a heal and can effectively rape all the enemies to death. If the player just mashes buttons, they can still escape, but don't get the heal. That way if the player wants to screw all the enemies in the game to oblivion, they can do that. If the player just wants to escape the grab and continue kicking the shit out of enemies, they can do that.
That's one solution I came up with.
Another one would be, to make the Grab-System a whole lot more easy to understand and to use, while still maintaining the possibilitys.
I still have to think more about it.
But I'll do that when we are working on the next game.
(and idea is already existing... but it has to be planned out and tested)
If that idea fails, the solution you made would be what I imagined as plan B.
i alway hit right arrows , but nothing happen.... it is hard to escape by hitting right arrow , i just use the X key to ... could u make it easier to escape .
You have to get the arrows "right", and you have to get the "timing" right.
Then Verdani is able to break free.
By timing I mean the C-Button.
Because, whenever you get the timing right, the "hold" counter will be reduced by 1.
Whenever you mess up pressing the C-Button in the right moment.
The counter has a chance to go up by 1 again.
(If I remember correctly it's a 66% chance for this to happen, in case one failes the timing)
I'm afraid I can't make it a whole lot easier, because it would use up too much time to plan and programm it.
(and test it, so it's bug free)
But I still have to do an ingame tutorial with pictures, and I think that people will understand the system way better then...
It's really not hard, once you understood what you'll exactly have to do.
by the way, do anyone know how happy i feel when i can contact the author of the H game i play? . people usually finish a game and never want to know the creator ?eh ?
He is special, He love hentai, He is good .... i wonder what is his job.. and i want to know more 'bou him .
I guess talking to people who make a game is a rare sight, yeah.
But I don't know for sure how many other game devs talk to their community.
(Kyrieru and Toffi-sama do, as far as I know)
At least it's something I enjoy to do.
And I also think that communication is really important.
Well, to keep it short:
We are actually 2 people working on this game.
And several others support us with small things.
(voice acting, translation etc. it's just small stuff, but it really helps a lot)
Our job is currently just game dev... nothing else.
(but not exactly because we wanted to... it was more or less a chain of different events that lead us to this point)
(this whole project startet as a "fun" project we planned to do in our free time, until it ended up the way it is now)
ps : by the Creator is here, i wanna know what "Wolfenstahl " mean ? or it's just a name ?
Wolfenstahl is a name with a meaning, yes... at least for me that is.
Many years ago... I played a battleship online game, and I needed to choose a name.
All of my nicknames I usually used to choose where already used by other people...
So I started to think about a new nickname.
I tried combining the words "stahl" and "wolf".
Wolf means wolf in english.
Stahl means steel...
Wolves are my favorite animal, and since I wanted to play a game with battleships that are made out of steel, I wanted to have a name along those lines.
But whatever combination I tried, it was already in use by someone...
Such as: Stahlwolf etc...
So I just switched the words around.
Wolfstahl... but it sounded weird... so I put some letters in between.
Wolfenstahl is the result of it.
By the way... my personal mascot, and favorite original character had the honor of getting "Wolfenstahl" as her familiy name.
(she's a wolfgirl too... so it's perfect)
So... Wolfenstahl means something like wolfssteel, or steelwolf.
I hope this answers your question ^^
