Vrogue: Vore Mod for Brogue (M/M) [Alpha Version 0.20.2]

[Balgias]

I'm still really hoping we get a return of the feature that auto-assumes willing digestion if you don't take an action while in the pred, was very nice.

Truly, it was a nice "hands free" method to use, nevertheless, I'm just glad the willing digestion is available.

It will be in when the game is RELEASED, its still in alpha, and the initial implantation of the auto digestion, as you remember, was really buggy. He will work on it later. Right now he's trying to add more content.

Sorry for the lack of updates in the past couple of days, but I'm all sick and gross. I'll try to get back into the game (hohoho) as soon as possible.

Reguarding difficulty of game and unpleasureable gameplay: The full version, which is not available yet, will have a random/gallery mode that lets all monsters spawn on the top floors. It should let the player sample all of the monsters like one samples a fine cheese platter.

My intention was to implement Random Mode when all of the monsters were added, but technically there is nothing stopping me from doing it now aside from the extra work required. I'm going to try to make a poll and see how many people want Random Mode done now or later.

Reguarding cheats, debugs, hacks or other things to make the game easier: there is a base Brouge easy mode that pops up when you press shift and 7. There are no other ways to make the game easier as of now. (Sucess with editing data with Cheat-Engine doesn't seem to be a fruitful topic)

Thanks for reminding people of this. Also, the Debug Mode release was an ACCIDENT, guys. I'm not going to make it a feature, because I need the game tested under normal conditions. Debug Mode is just a way for me to tackle specific issues and is not helpful when I need you to simulate an actual run. Besides, it's a roguelike... even with my balance changes, the game is going to retain a certain level of difficulty typical of the genre. Sorry.

Bug report: When the trapper paralyzes you, it runs through all the turns in which you are paralyzed automatically in like half a second, without giving you a chance to respond or read the text at all.
This can lead to situations like being in low health wandering through the dungeon and suddenly being digested and killed without any chance to at least read what's happening to you.

Fixed for next update. The game will no longer fast forward while you are being digested, and any input from the player will simply be ignored, advancing the turn (and digestion) instead. That way you can still read the messages one at a time.

Just a quick note from a lurking fan. I got eaten by a wolf while fighting in a healing cloud from the healing pod things. Terrible luck I know, but it was a pretty funny way to go.

While eaten inside the pred, the player still gets the healing effects for being in the cloud due to the pred standing in that space. This continues until the pred wanders out of range (which might not happen, as in my case) or the healing aura runs out. The healing cloud effect should probably not be working on the creature/player inside the stomach, since they are soaking in acids instead of air, and presumably these preds breath through other means besides their stomach, lol.

Fire probably shouldn't affect the player in the "eaten by something" situation too. Or alternatively it might speed up digestive damage since the belly would warm up if the pred was in fire (vore logic for the win). Either way the player/prey should not be "burning" from the flames till the pred is burned first, unless maybe the preds all are really made of swiss cheese and we've been lied to this whole time?

Fixed for next update. Swallowed prey will not be affected by external factors such as fire or gas of any description. Prey WILL take damage from explosions, but only half as much as usual.

Also, can we have a debug switch/start in debug mode option? A run on this option/mode would not score on the high score tables and anyone watching the replay would easily see it was in debug mode due to the starting items being very different. It could start the player off with some of the rarer items that do some of the more potentially game breaking things, like dominate and crystal wall wands, and pitfall potions since so many odd game crashing interactions tend to involve tossing things in various states down to other floors. It could otherwise function as normal so we can find and get eaten by our favorite preds faster yay totally no other motivations here more easily test things on further floors, and make replays/screenshots of issues faster.

See above.

Poll is added. For the record, the only immediate impact choosing the first option will have is having to wait a little longer for apex predators. It doesn't mean that Random Mode will lack any monsters, since I'll just add new monsters to both modes at the same time.

Ah jeez, I know that feel. I've been trying to pull myself out of a sickness for 2+ weeks now. Drink the oceans and eat the oranges, hope you get better soon~






Scratch the oceans, they're too salty :B

[Myconid32]

I'm starting to see a trend in the responses...

[Balgias]

Something wrong ?

[Myconid32]

Something wrong ?

I'm just amused by the overwhelming trend in the poll responses.

[bebopy]

Poll kind of looks like a penis

If penises were shaped like squares maybe, otherwise no idea how you got that from it. xD

[bebopy]

Your penis isn't square? o.0

I was playing it last night, and as I was going through it, the game would crash and it seemed to do it more frequently on higher floors such as 4, the farthest I ever got was floor 6. Another thing is the recording feature, once I get eaten in the recording a message pops up saying out of sync. Other then that, it's a great game despite how it looks graphics wise and the dialogue is great in my opinion.

Just to help troubleshoot a bit, you aren't playing the Mac OSX version or the version in the first link on the page, are you? Both of those are quite outdated and do contain a lot of syncing issues, but the current build in the third link (beneath the Mac version) has stamped out a lot of those issues. Apologies if you are indeed playing the up-to-date one though, this is just a small thing I've seen people do by mistake sometimes. ^^

That's the one I've been using, the third link, below the Mac version.

Trogg totems probably shouldn't be edible, should they?

Update 0.7.0: Details in the changelog.

Better now! Well, mostly. I don't have the time or energy to include pictures with this update, but the monsters should be recognizable anyway if you've played Heart of Darkness or like dinosaurs, respectively.

Also, since I discovered that doing so actually takes no time at all, Random Spawn Mode has been implemented. Hold Shift while on the title menu and choose a new game to activate it. Sorry for the pointless poll, but I did add two apex predators to make up for it.

I fully expect this to be kind of buggy, so let's get to testing! Let me know if the changelog is unclear on anything.

Seems to be triggering Chrome's malware detector for me.

It's a false positive. It's happened before but I don't know what causes it.

Someone at Google was probably just thinking "Nobody would host LEGITIMATE software on DropBox". *sigh*
