Happy easter :) ! Dev talk...
🕑 Added 2021-04-04 14:25:01 +0000 UTCFemdom City MANTIS 0.5.7 is now available for all patreon supporters :)
I hope you are doing well and have a good easter weekend. It is time to talk about Femdom City. What you like and what you don't like. It is now more than halfway done with all the content that I wanted to put in...and I have learned a lot that will benefit the next game.
The next step is obviously MANTIS 0.6.X...and what will be in that update is still up to debate. There will be a poll next week, but I already talked about that I wanted to make an update with a more narrow focus on a certain area of the game. Maybe a character, a new place or a job like the path of kink that gets a lot of scenes or a complete story arch.
What I have learned so far
1. The game engine sucks
No point in denying it. There is bugs, sudden blackscreens, performance issues. A few of you are also experiencing difficulties loading a save. meaning suddenly a save is corrupted. While the game is running fine for most, it was still completely avoidable by choosing a better engine than visual novel maker. The next game will be in a different engine.
2. Story character scenes beat everything
What I mean by that is that jobs like the path of kink or the uptown jobs have a story, they have text, dialogue and choices. it is much more fun to play than just the grind of the other jobs. So for the next game I think it is better to focus on this job model.
Not 100% sure on this, let me know what you think in the comments
3. More detail, blood sweat and tears, and all the fun stuff!
Yes, I hear you. I am trying the best that I can but you know that my current render engine is limited. I try the best I can do to make c.u.m and pee look good (and the scene with charlene miller for example turned out really well) with the current engine...still some things like the just mentioned or some interesting fetishes like chastity are hard to realize. This will change in the future with a more modern render engine that has more assets (that are unfortunetly also more expensive)...I am constantly learning new tricks with the new render engine! And now that I am working on one game only and not constantly have to switch between the dark elves and femdom city I can dive into it and really learn this stuff. so in a not so distant future you will get some pretty awesome artwork ;)
(yes, i am on a good way...i think)
4. People want character progression and development!
More skills to make your character unique, an inventory with useful things like food that you can eat or trade, like scraps that you can find and sell for money. Also more things to do with money like upgrading your sleeping box.
Let me know if you have more ideas about that!
5. A gallery is the real deal
Most likely the most requested feature. A place where you can revisit unlocked scenes...not only artwork but the full scene with the dialogue.
Do you have something else in mind that you would like to have changed or see implemented in a future game (i know i ask this on a regular basis but i think about that stuff pretty much 24/7)? Apart from the always requested things like "more Futa/Footworship/Trampling please and less Futa/Footworship/Trampling!" ;) ?
Let me know! Apart from that, Happy Easter!
And stay kinky :)
