God Complex: Vore; RPG game. <September update>

[TheEvilWithin]

If I may ask, why not ask for more help to advance development?

Well we are looking for more writers but it requires a certain quality of the writing too. For the other areas, more people could be rather problematic to keep track of since everyone would share the same set of the game data and we'd have to make sure there are no overlaps between people as that would just lead to overwriting someone's work.

For the second problem, wouldn't assign to each a specific event or whatever, and tell them to work only on that until they're done, unless there's a problem, help? In this way, people can work on more separate scenes faster. Like one guy work on a scene in x town and another in y cave and another again in z forest. I'm no expert in programming, so feel free to correct me.

I actually kinda like the "you don't really know what/if you gained something from eating someone" aspect of it. The reason why the passive tab exists to begin with is mainly just so people are not completely confused why are they suddenly stronger. With active abilities it is a bit different as you'd probably notice that you can suddenly spit acid and shoot fire from your fingertips compared to having a bit more health or your muscles getting a bit stronger. I'll see if we want to change it in the future but right now, I'd actually prefer to keep it this way personally.

Part of the reason you should change it is because it would make it easier to identify exactly which characters actually give you any bonuses in the first place, and which ones don't because you haven't programmed them to yet. This will make the game easier to debug, which can speed up development a decent amount. The other part of why is because it would cut off any complaints about prey that don't seem to give you anything, when all you get is a passive. This will take stress off of you, allowing you to have more fun with the project.

Well I try to add buffs to most characters that you eat and I don't really fill them on retroactively. It mostly depends on importance of the NPC you've eaten.

The issue is that you don't always know how many switches/IDs people need to make the event so I can't set exact amount of switches and IDs for them beforehand. They might figure out that it can all be triggered by just 1 or they find out that what we want from the scene needs like 5 to function properly. And giving them more switches retroactively is not ideal either as there will be some assigned afterwards so all of them would not be grouped up next to each other, which could then cause confusion of where the switches are actually used.

Any idea if the update will be finished before NYE? It would make a great Christmas present to the forum.

Can anyone please tell me how to escape the red octopus girl? I can't find a way out of it. I'm stuck

It's been almost 6 months. Someone has to ask. It's not like I'm rushing Sal.
If that's what you thought I was doing, sorry to disappoint you. If it's later, it's later. I was just wanting to make sure the project wasn't experiencing any delays. Sal doesn't exactly have a team to help program it, after all.

Cool but have you considered

I've noticed 2 oddities that I assume are bugs.

-When you first fight in the Korros arena, there is this fight against a necromancer and her zombie. The zombie managed to hit and kill Mila (while the rest of the party was still alive). I was under the impression that Mila could only die once the rest of the party had fallen, so I think it's a bug.

-In the Grandol Arena, I noticed that you always fight alone, the only exception being when you have Euvor in your party. If I'm not mistaken, she is the most recently added party member, so you probably forgot to implement the mechanic that removes her from your party in the arena. (This bug made beating the princess in my pacifist run a whole lot easier tho :p)

Is there a way to beat the octopus girl in Sirnes Lake? If there is please tell me how. I've been stuck here for hours

Have you considered that's the least enforced rule in the site?
It's been six months. I just want to make sure it's not dead. Don't state the obvious at me again, please.

I wish it would but I really can't guarantee anything right now as it's been harsh this last half a year for irl reasons. We're still working on it tho, even if slowly, so it's not like we plan to abandon this game or anything, just having some complications that cause delays...

First was a bug that became a feature. Mila is normally kinda invincible until player dies (not whole party) as it was implied that she's to small and fast to be hit. But since the zombie attack is basically a gas based aoe, you can't really dodge that no matter how fast you are. So I actually left it in as one of the few instances where Mila can actually be hit and killed.
I fixed the Euvor one but I guess I forgot to re-upload it with the patch it will definitely be resolved in the next update.

[DivineSomaCruz]

Okay, I can understand that. Thanks for keeping us in the know, Sal.

[Meozlord]

Is it weird I'm excited for the new update? I guess I just like vore games with plot really (hey kinda like porn with plot).
Not rushing anyone just delay it however much you need to, I'm pretty sure everyone can wait.

[Micomauro12]

Merry Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas

I just made some counts, and I found out that this game has currently a little over 140 vore events, which if we add the variants and alternatives, goes up to around 250 vore scenes. Making this game, still in development, the one with the largest amount of vore content in existance. What an achievement.

I saw mentioned that there was reference to a chapter 6? Just curious if chapters leading up to then have been implemented?

The new update is live on patreon and SS for all 10+$ supporters and will be public next week as usual. It is not the full extent that we planned to as it was difficult to keep up the work while everything else was going on but I still wanted to release at least something for y'all because it was far too long since the last one. So here is a smaller, but hopefully still satisfying, holiday update to end the 2021 on.
The new content is:
-updated images of Ashley and the player
-a new person to talk to in pubs after you progress enough
-access to Forbasker forest (the one next to desert) and with one extensive location to enjoy

Nice to know. But I have a question: by new person in pubs, you mean we'll meet whoever that person is everytime we go in one or just in a pub specifically?

She is present in all pubs simultaneously, so it doesn't matter which pub you meet her in.
