Vore War V36B

[Aurilika]

This game is a continuation of darkevilme's game Vore War. It is a turn based tactical game with rpg elements in a vore related world. There are many many races available.

Strategic View

Tactical View

Some of the options

UI is designed for 16:9 resolution, but I'm leaving the option to pick resolution open so people can use what they like, it's just that other resolutions will have some extra blank space on the full screen UIs

This project is basically on maintenance at this point. I didn't want to abandon it completely because there were still races being worked on that I didn't want to waste people's efforts on, but I had basically burned myself out with a combination of the sprites and events. I'm still doing bug fixes and some minor features, but most of my energy is going towards my other project on here, Unbridled Hedonism.

Recent Changelog

Spoiler: show

36B:
Improved the logic so when you change versions to a version that has a new monster race, it won't delete any existing monster armies, and monsters also keep their cheat replaced race, if any.
Fixed a longstanding minor bug that was pointed out, fixed spawns claimed it sorted by team #, but it actually sorted by the default order, though it did group teams together. Now it properly puts the teams where they should be rotationally. I.e. team 4 would be placed between team 3 and 5, if they exist, rather than being placed by whatever position the first member of that team was in.
Fixed the "hire mercs/adventures" menu in a village not being closeable with the esc key.
Fixed another issue with the ai end of turn option. That should now work completely correctly, now.
Fixed the Monitors not having the venom shock trait attached to them as intended.

36A:
Using the cheat replace race on the goblins now correctly changes their race for goblin caravans (I didn't think about the fact that they are grouped in with the monsters and were listed. They're a special case, so it had to be specifically fixed). For simplicity, they'll still be frequently equipped with books like the goblins are.
Added a couple of utility traits, Submissive that makes prey not attempt to escape, and Defenseless, that makes prey have basically no vore defense (can optionally be combined with the willingrace trait if you want the dialogue to change -- though not a whole ton of those lines exist)
Added a button to set the selected unit's AP to 0, basically to have letting the ai play the rest of your turn not move units you wanted to stay stationary.
Lowered the minimum time for movement options from .02 seconds to .005 seconds.
Succubi in pure tactical mode now spawn with the summoned sword as they should, instead of standard weapons.
Fixed a bug that would cause the ai to halt processing in ai vs ai battles if the give control to ai at the end of turn option was enabled.
Fixed an issue where if you pressed escape inside of the edit settings menu of the edit world settings, it would close the parent of that screen, and pressing it twice would unpause the game while you're in the menu.
Added some more text from xmarkx that was overlooked.

36:
Added the Monitor Race, it's a mercenary race, but also appears in Komodo packs if that option is enabled.
Added some additional tactical log messages and fixes from xmarkx.
Can now use the cheat menu to replace a monster race with another race. The strategic graphic will still be of the race, and the name stays the same so that it's easier to associate with the spawner, but the armies will consist of whatever race you chose. (So for instance, you could replace the vagrants with succubi). There didn't seem to be any immediate bugs from this, but it's possible that there are bugs.
Fixed an oversight where Valor, shielded, and sense weakness didn't affect ranged attacked.
RangedVore no longer has a ranged penalty against flying units. Was suggested to add a little bit of depth, but the effect is relatively subtle.
Changed the logic for regurgitate slightly. Will now try to free a random friendly unit first, and if none exist, will free a random enemy unit, instead of being random from everyone inside.
Added an option to the options menu to always treat pressing the end turn button as if you clicked 'let ai finish your turn' button (It's disabled by default since it's pretty specialized).
Can now press 1, 2, or 3 to choose the first, second or third option on the event screen.
Fixed an issue where loading a customization that changed the gender wouldn't take into account gender based traits (now it properly removes ones that no longer apply and adds new ones right away).
Fixed some missing text for the buy all options if you didn't have enough money.

June 21st- V36A Released -- As usual, savegames should still be compatible.

Switched to Mega only because Mediafire seemed to be increasingly flagging the files, let me know if you need a different download method.
Win 32 - https://mega.nz/file/tfggjQ4D#i6rTiMQs60UFAx7-QlULqq7FeUtko_JToZoQ28mq228 (I recommend using the 64 bit version for memory reasons if your computer supports it, but 32 bit is probably still okay if you avoid huge maps)
Win 64 - https://mega.nz/file/VDxmlIiC#UuW6cl1csJkfGB_JRWHMHNtckQ6oJUs8CKmb_SmZxEs
Mac - https://mega.nz/file/cKx0zQbY#7QvFEwBy4aRoRTfErjF3wkc_rzdmAw8ejZr2WajCX50

Ooh, this is interesting. Changes sound really cool and male chars/male vore are really rare. Definitely will be following this.

I actually did some light spriting (armor pictures) for original vore war, but, sadly, I never got to releasing it and it got lost together with my old hard drive. I could try drawing something again.

Armors were combined with weapons due to old game's limitations, though, so, i guess, adding separate armor slot will be the first suggestion.

[Rayen]

I wish I wasn't so busy with my other work or I'd love to do more spritework on this again. I remember playing with them and making those character sprites. (Though I'm not really proud of the doggirl tails now that I look back at them. :V)

Anyway, glad to see someone working on this again. I wish ya all the luck with any additional features ya plan to add. :V

[RediQ]

Woah, I'd never heard of the original Vore War, but I'm glad you're doing this.

A tactics rpg with a vore-driven combat system is something I'd thought about making for a long time before actually starting my own (very different) game, so I'm excited to see this and looking forward to watching how it develops... Would help with art if I could, but, well, that's the part I'd also be lacking if I'd tried to make something similar.

[Anesthetic]

Hey cool. I always loved this game. Awesome to see someone actually pick up a mantle and run with it. Most of the time someone says they are going to do this and all we ever get is Ambitions, and planned features. You actually succeded.

[Zomulgustar]

Interested, but I keep getting an "Unable to connect to mediafire" message.

[RediQ]

I dunno if this is a bug (feels like one?), but whenever I level up a soldier, the game becomes impossible to interact with after I choose which stat to upgrade. Just in case it matters, both attempts I tried putting the level into Speed.

The screen stays dimmed like it is while you select which stat, but the stat-selection box vanishes so I'm just stuck softlocked on a dimmed screen with no apparent way to back out or select anything else.


Edit: Also, this one I'm less sure if it's a bug, but on the strategy map I'd see enemy towns labeled as "garrison: none" and then have to fight a battle against 16 enemies anyway when I tried attacking. Is that just an intentional advantage given to the ai to have automatically full garrisons versus the player, or is it not intended?

[darkevilme]

I just want to say openly for the record. I have given full permission to Aurilika to continue vore war in this fashion and I am happy to see him taking up the torch of my old project.

Congratulations on your first release Aurilika. I'll give the game a try sometime soon.
edit:
Gave it a try
it seems level up selections don't work properly. It doesn't undim after you've made your choice.

[nnnddt]

Don't know if it's me who didn't see it, but i don't see where i can go for equip a specific item to a specific girl.
And same than others before, lvl up a girl don't allow me to play further, what is problematic when your ennemies have an army with plenty of leveled up girls.

Okay, I've released a fixed version that fixed the level up bug. The good news is that the saves should be compatible (note that they are just saved in the directory). Hopefully the autosave feature prevented people from losing to much to what was effectively a freeze. The dimmed screen was a relatively recent addition to make the level up menu more clear, but I apparently forgot to add one line of code in the right place, everywhere else the dimming turned off fine.

That garrison thing is a bug and definitely not intended, I'll look into it. Edit: I can't seem to replicate that bug. If it happens again, try to get a save for it. I think what might be happening is that the AI (assuming you're playing against the Full strength) will wait until there's an army within attacking distance of a town before raising a garrison, so maybe you're seeing no garrison the turn before and then not noticing that it changes? A garrison of 16 should be listed as 'huge' under my system for making enemy numbers vague inspired by Heroes of Might and Magic.

Don't know if it's me who didn't see it, but i don't see where i can go for equip a specific item to a specific girl...

The way the shop screen currently works is that you enter into the shop screen for a particular girl, and can sell her items or buy items for her.

[Aurilika]

Armors were combined with weapons due to old game's limitations, though, so, i guess, adding separate armor slot will be the first suggestion.

This is relatively easy to add, the question I ended up on is do you make separate versions of the army for different size bellies or do you just have them take off the armor when they eat someone? I couldn't find a great answer to that. I'm not afraid to add more layers, as I was going to try to add a separate layer for eyes, but the ones I tried to draw looked worse than the current set (which are actually part of the hair) that are still in the lower resolution.

Well, I was the one that edited them to a higher resolution, so I'll repeat as I said in the credits (that are in the help menu). If it looks good, it's probably because of you, if it looks bad, it's probably because of me

This... might be what happens.

I'm sure it's because I'm bad at the money management aspect somehow, but I didn't consider that it was possible to just have the cash on hand to be able to suddenly do that while also having one or more well-equipped huge armies roaming the map.

[Absentia]

Glad you decided to continue this, when he said he had no plans on continuing this before, did feel like a little bit of a waste, it had a solid foundation and plenty of potential, look forward to seeing you develop this more.

[Slayerhero90]

oooOOOOooooooh. checked out vore war a while back and wasn't happy with it; maybe this'll suit my tastes better. gonna be watching this develop

[Lonewolf]

I played the old version of vore war, and I have to say this is a huge improvement on the game. Great job!

If you are open to suggestions. I have a few quality of life changes:
* A -levelup available- indicator of some kind would be a nice on the army info screen
* A -buy expensive all- button to give the stronger version of weapons to your army

[GreenSlime]

Could you post or send me a spritesheet? I think I lost the old one and Unity is harder to interact with in this regard, i'll try doing something with armor/weapons/models themselves.

Another thing is skin tones. The ones in old Vore war were somewhat... yellow-y. Thee are many hex codes for more natural skin over the internet.

these ones are good:

Thank you, and I'll definitely implement both of these changes.

I'll play around with the skintones to find what works well. Here's the current spritesheet for you, and in case anyone else wants to poke around with it.

Character Sprites

[Jade86]

are you going to implement other vore actions like anal or unbirth or cock vore ?

[Jadex]

heya the only thing I kinda wanted in the original game was a mode to run either ai vs ai or player vs player so it would be real neat if you could get that to work

• Neato apparently you already got that setup

[Aurilika]

I do have something in mind for unbirth, but as for the others, as it stands now I don't know how I'd differentiate them other than just being a simple text change.

That's already in the game. You can play with 4 human players, or you can play with 0 human players, or anything in between. (The options menu also lets you adjust how fast the AI moves so that you can keep up). I did that pretty early on because it helps with testing features.
