AoA - Progress Report (11)

Progress is currently hampered by IRL work, which will take some time to smooth over. In the meantime, I'm still trying to squeeze in development time whenever I can but it will be less than before.  :(

Now let's get that out of the way so we can talk AoA's progress!

Gallery now with proper BG
The gallery needed more work done. I managed to get the UI up, as well as added the gallery background. At the same time, I gave the heroine a new idle sprite (as seen above).



In a past post I talked about having sex affect the heroine depending on a passive skill. The latest passive skill allows the player choose/toggle between 3 different effects that having sex have on the heroine:
1. Default // Gain 1 HP when climax (filled up arousal bar). Heroine is neutral on sex.
2. Fallen //  Take 1.5x stamina damage. Gain full HP when climax. Stamina rate up for X minute(s). Heroine is energized by sex.
3. Saint // Deal 1.5x knockback. Lose 1 HP when climax. Stamina rate down for X minute(s). Heroine wishes to keep away those dirty hands.

Each of the 3 effects enable upon climax (filling the arousal bar). As of now I can't tell if these effects will throw off game balance, so things are subject to change.

On another note, I'm in talks with a voice actress to help give our heroine a new voice. If things go well, our heroine would get a streamlined set of voices! Perhaps even a second set of voice for if Fallen is chosen.

    1. I'm still thinking if I should include it in the demo yet. Let me finalize everything else first :D

  2. Thanks for the status update! Sex passive would be great, it wouldn't all be 'fuck for the sake of fucking'

    Good luck with your IRL work

    1. Thanks Anon, I'm really just taking IRL work one day at a time now, which helps with stress.

      I admit though, that the sex passive do feel a little "tacked on" just to give the sex a place in the game :/

    1. About half the voice set is actually done! Just need to get the voice actress to export in .wav and we're good to go.

  6. Would you ever create an option that makes getting up or escaping sex something that might be more "difficult"? Maybe mashing the arrow keys or doing a quick qte? It'd make a lot of sense for a Saint playstyle, and also maybe the others.
    Also, would you ever create an optional arena that has walls around the edges instead of a cliff? I like being defeated and gangbanged, but I really, really don't like falling off the cliff.

    1. Hmm the sex escaping was actually made easier to get away from the common 'struggle to escape' mechanics. As getting knocked down is a regular thing, having to 'struggle' will get old pretty fast. So I'd opt for the mechanics to stay the same at the moment.

      The sandboxed mode is a great suggestion. I don't know why I didn't think about this one. I'll look to add an option under 'Settings' to stop players for falling off. Of course, this option will disable for competitive modes (like Survival, or Boss Rush) planned for future.

  7. I just found this game and, honestly, I played it for over an hour before I discovered the sex stuff. I really didn't think I'd enjoy it, but I have been pleasantly surprised.

    1. Also, Whats happening with LabCoax, are you occasionally working on that too?

    2. Hey Untamed,

      The plan is to not encrypt the savegame.ini at the moment. That means you can edit the files to give yourself all the money to buy skills or skip levels but where's the fun in that?

      As for Labcoax, I'm not working on it at the moment. My hands are full with AoA and IRL for the time being :(

  9. Been thinking, some liquid mess effect on the heroine's body after lots of hentai scenes and white liquids pool on the arena's floor would be cool IMO sort of like legends of krystal hentai game liquid mess.

    1. Sounds like a good addition. I'll note this one down. In the earliest version of AoA, it actually had cum puddles, but they come and disappear quite quickly. I removed them later because it didn't look very good.
