Episodic?

I hate paying for things that are too short. Episodic usually implies just that; multiple short games that continue one after the other. That might work fine for point-and-click Telltale adventure games, but probably not for turn-based RPG games.

I would much rather wait longer and drop my cash on something that will have a bit more to offer if the episodes are too short. How many episodes will this game contain? How much per episode? And will you offer a discounted "season pass"?

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

To be honest, I always found it kinda strange if the heroines get horny midbattle while resisting the enemy beforehand. That is why I like a System where she gets a horny status Parameter out of battle that is determined by her sexual encounters so far. Maybe limit the Hornyness that is possible in battle by how horny she is altogether? As far as i know the only game where something like my Idea is made is Saki Quest. Where you can endure 3 times more rape (with a way hornier outcome) if your lust is high. And are just disgusted when your overall lust is low, even if your battle lust is maxed.

In two of the games from the maker of Parallel Fantasy, Parallel Fantasy IF and Arm Devicer have something like that.

Arm Devicer is a bit light since there's only one area(?) that actually trigger sex in battle. But based on if the character is horny or if their "corruption" is high enough they can endure more orgasm in a battle sex scene before passing out.

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

Oho~! I gotta say it's nice to see someone else take this spin with RPG's at last, the only other group I know being active with such is ARUMERO SOFT with their 'Battle Raper' system, and well myself with my 'Progressive' system ( thought I almost forgot about Newface with his Evil Goddess too! ). You've got an edge thought being both programmer, and artist, more less spying a ton of custom elements, nothing at all coming from the RTP's ( unlike the rest of us who still use tilesets a plenty ).

So I guess I should ask a few questions as you seem willing to answer:

-I'm noticing a lot of different frames for actions, attacks, blocking, dodging and the like. I'm going to assume you've got some fun 'status effects' planned then, with images fitting such? I'm also figuring with how you phrased it that monsters 'rapes' are going to be a stage by stage image change ordeal? So just as a possible example: first part would be a leap on top/grapple, second part might be a 'getting fucked', and third part might be a 'climaxed' ordeal, leaving a 'cummed over' status effect?

-I'm going to assume our two gals are the only two playable cast members we'll have access towards from start to finish? I ask this as the battle system is clearly made to focus on only two team members at a time, more less it seems like you took advantage of each girl being on a selective side, posing both to angle towards the 'center' of the screen.

-While you did say there shall be outfit changes, are there any ideas to also have possible 'corruption/transformation' attires depending on situations? Ether inflicted by battle, or done such via storyline/choices made?

Everything else I could have thought up thought has been pretty much asked at one point or time thought, so call me excited to see a demo, and counting my penny's to save up for this!

1. Yup, that's the gist of how it works. For some enemy skills there needs to be a set of prerequisite conditions met, such as "knocked down" and either some armor broken status or a vulnerability status. I'll have a more detailed description down the line.

2. That's the idea for now~

3. Not entirely sure I understand the question, but outfits change pretty dramatically depending on parameters/status effects. Each different outfit type has its own behavior based on its aesthetics and can thus be broken/taken off differently/etc. It will actually be a pretty significant gameplay mechanic to choose your armor type accordingly because of this. The game will, in an indirect sense, treat different parts of the body like most RPGs treat elemental resistances. The different outfit types therefore aim to allow you to better prepare your characters against different types of attacks. If on the other hand you are referring to entirely new outfits based on story/corruption/etc, then it's something I haven't considered too much. The downside here is that it takes an extremely long amount of time to create a full set of artwork for all the possible skill/status/etc. combos for every outfit. You can almost think of an outfit type as a "class" is to a regular RPG, because that's how dramatically it is intended for them to affect gameplay.

Episodic?

I hate paying for things that are too short. Episodic usually implies just that; multiple short games that continue one after the other. That might work fine for point-and-click Telltale adventure games, but probably not for turn-based RPG games.

I would much rather wait longer and drop my cash on something that will have a bit more to offer if the episodes are too short. How many episodes will this game contain? How much per episode? And will you offer a discounted "season pass"?

There will definitely be enough content to justify the price of the game.

Looks great. Hope it's got futa!!

Thanks! I'm pretty certain it will~

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

Sorry I missed your post before!

The setting is a mix between post apocalyptic/cyberpunk and super futurist sci-fi. There will be a lot of mutant/genetically engineered enemies along with androids/cyborgs/robots. So, beasts, insects, machines, humans, tentacles, etc are all fair game.

Not a big deal, I figured you just missed it since it was at the bottom of the page. And that is good news, thanks for responding to us "niche" fans.

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

Wow, genuinely surprised at how sexy the girls look, and i'm usually not into any 3D made games at all, but this one looks done right so far.

Also noticing your gonna have a wide range of fetishes, and i have a wide range of fetishes i like, so awesome. (Futa, beastiality, tentacles to name a select few...)

I'm interested to see if the corruption system will lead up to Ahegao status.
'cause you know, females enjoying it is always hot~!

On note of the corruption system, is there just one way on the corrupt system, or are you going to add a 'virgin saint' opposite style bar for those that run virgin runs? i'm not into that myself, but it'd add in a new fetish for those that finally see the character 'take the plunge' so to speak.

dang, forgot my other question as i typed that last one.... i'll try and remember it. :3

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

..
Thanks! I'm pretty certain it will~ (contain futa)

I do not want to say straight up that I will have no interest in this game were it to contain futa, I would instead caution you to possibly have it as a choice. I can say that for people who want it, thats great. I do not care for futa, it is just a massive turn off for me. I have ignored plenty of games in the past that I would almost certainly like otherwise, just because of the futa being that big a turn off for me.

That creature hunter game I think did it best by literally asking the player at the start of the game if they wanted to have or not have futa sequences in the game. I would hope a similar option would be made available since your game is in development. I know that I am likely in a minority (at least when it comes to people who would actively voice an opinion on the forum) when it comes to futa.

All in all, I am fine with futa being in the game, but I would like an option to turn it off if at all possible.

{/sarcasm}
I have the same problem, except a guy raping a girl is a massive turn off for me. If this is put into effect, i would also like to have regular rape be turned off as well. I understand that will turn off 75% of the game, but i don't like seeing it!
{/end sarcasm}

I actually don't like real rape, but almost all hentai games have it, so i'm sure that while it's a massive turn off for you, it'd be best if you were to, say, avoid whatever causes the 'futa-nisation' in game just as i have to avoid the regular rape scenes.

A lot of these suggestions may never be implemented at all either, he's just considering them based on how many people want something. As he stated, he's planning on putting this up on offbeatr/using patreon, so he is DEFINITELY shooting for a large audience here.

That could also mean he'd have a switch to turn off futa, yes, but that'd be his own personal choice, based on user wants.

Me, on the other hand, i'll wade through the real rape just to get to the futa goodness, thank you~!

Also, never understood what the problem with futa(this is the no-balls variant mind you) is with people. It's yuri with actual sex in it, no grinding each other. Must stop trying to understand the world.

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

Because some of us are really turned off by penises, regardless of if they're attached to a thing that a massive pair of great knockers.
I would say I'm actually turned off precisely *because* the rapist has a dick but is also a women
I think largely this is due to the freak factor, this is especially hard to over come when the majority of futa porn is a woman, usually with over sized muscles and a six pack, having a third frikken leg!


Also not really comparable, rape is pretty much a core mechanic in a RoR/GoR type game. It can't be one of those games without having rape, if it didn't have rape it would just be an RPG with some consensual sex scenes (apparently these things do still exist)

I would say that I definitely do have a rape fetish, I like to be able to put myself into the shoes of the rapist and fantasise that its me violating this super hot bitch.
I can't really do that when the rapist has tits, I'm a little chubby but my moobs are no where big enough for that suspension of disbelief. (strangely I'm fine with strap ons (I think the Mistress scene in Despair Labyrinth is one of hottest in that game, especially the reverse mistress one)).

uh, not sure if you meant to, but you contradicted yourself. So your saying you don't like penis' at all? Yet you have a rape fetish. Lovely. Putting yourself into the shoes of the rapist without a penis, totally not a suspension of disbelief to me.

i understand futa is more 'niche' to some, and i won't disagree that there is some strange manga out there with giant muscled women screwing guys that look like girls (*shudder*), but most of them i enjoy is usually a hot chick screwing another hot chick, and both enjoying it. alos, muscle futa is a minority in this genre, try again. Still not seeing the logic here, but i'm the minority, so i digress.

And by rape, i mean the woman is crying and begging to be released while the man forces himself on her. I like both sides to like it, or it's a turn off to me. Monsters and beastiality, however, can do the same thing, but i like it. Probably something to do with how i loathe real life rape, so let's let bygons be bygones and end it there. We all have fetishes that aren't widely accepted by the world, so let's let the creator choose what he wants based on his preferences.

In other news, i will definitely help out if we get futa in the game(no balls, no 'muscles'), because that is my #1 hottest fetish.

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

Is the main characters going to have a penis or are there side characters/enemies going to be futa? Having futa characters in a game and having them use their tool for whatever is fine, but I rather not have the main characters be one.

Optional is probably a way to go, but then blocking events and stuff because of it might just create more work.
Although I am sure there's a funny joke somewhere with an android character who is able to have different augmentations to her body and one of them just happens to be a giant penis.

Oh and cool picture although the robot knees scare me a little

Try not to sound like a sarcy fucker, its unbecoming and makes you look like a 14 year old bell end.

What I'm saying is penises dont turn me on, I can respect their smooth sleek design from an engineering point of view but they aren't what lights my coals.
I dont like futa because quite simply penis dont belong women, I basically find it to be quite disgusting.
Maybe its something to do with being part of the previous generation where dickgirls weren't a common place thing during my teenage years.

Try not to sound like a saucy fucker, its unbecoming and makes you look like an awesome person. (tehe~)

What I'm saying is penises don't turn me on, I can respect their smooth sleek design from an engineering point of view but they aren't what lights my coals. (wut?)
I don't like futa because quite simply penis don't belong women, I basically find it to be quite disgusting. (your own prerogative)
Maybe its something to do with being part of the previous generation where dick-girls weren't a common place thing during my teenage years.(How old are you? i'll just guess then...)

Only replying to said comment to end such discussion, i will no longer reply any further.

Come back when your not 65 years old where screwing 13 year old girls was the norm, tyvm.

Oh, before i leave, i'll be sarcastic some more. Google brought me searches on 2 things you said that made no sense:

sarcy - sarcastic. was it that hard to type the word out?

bell end - The end part of a penis designed so the hand does not slide off........ i don't have any words for how stupid that sounds now that i read your rebuttal. Learned something new though~!

Me, walking out the door now, bye.

Yes, i'm being an ass on purpose. We all have our own opinions, this man(?) does not see that. I'm the child, but you reply to said child with a hate comment? Who's the adult here? answer: neither of us.

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

enough argument please

it would probably be best to have futa optional if it causes so much controversy. personally i dont like it but i can tolerate it if the game isnt centered around it

 

[Darkstrain]

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

i dont think a switch to turn off fetishes is a good thing, unless they are based ONLY on controversial ones (scat guro etc)... most likely because you know how to trigger a scene, if you dont want to see it, then dont trigger its flag... i mean, dont lose fights vs futa enemies, dont eat food past its expiration date and dont jump head first into a pile of spikes.

now if the characters you play at have the option to become futa, the flags are usually very obvius as well, if a game is well made, you get what you look for, exceptions are those strang visual novels where going right is scat and going left is loli furry.

i dont really mind any fetish, i may not fap to all (guro), but it's ok to have them in a game

Pretty much what i meant, though i guess i worded it very wrong for it to turn into a fight. My bad.

And i wouldn't say futa is controversial, since Kyrieru had a poll for an enemy i believe and the highest was a female futa boss at 45%, so uh.... i don't remember what point i was making....

i thought i left.... :?

Re: Malise and the Machine (New RPG!)

So, now a post that questions game play

1) Skills system, do we learn skills leveling up? Training in a certain category? Do you also learn special skills from events?

2) Will there be different weapons? This is more for me personally, i'd like to use machine nun-chuckus! Well, stuff like guns have +aim and laser swords have more skills/ armor penetration or some shit.

3) Prostitution? Yes please? ;D - with this you could have some prostitution scenes be futa so it'd be completely optional, and you can also have category for prostitution ranging from said fetishes you will include.
