Request for feedback, name change, and the latest changelog
🕑 Added 2019-03-28 20:30:29 +0000 UTCHi all! The majority of pledges wanted dev updates once a week, so you'll be seeing posts like this in the future, but the list of features completed should be a shorter, because I'll be posting more frequently. You can see the list of changes at the bottom of this post. As always, if you have any questions about these features, I'm happy to answer them.
The main feature completed in this build is the wardrobe system. Even though this game is still a proof of concept, the wardrobe system is very sophisticated. Olivia, for example, has 26 accessories you can mix and match. Here is a GIF of all her hair options:
Obviously, that UI's a mess, but I'm speaking with designers and artists right now to help clean it up.
I think these changes are pretty cohesive, and for that reason, I'm looking to do another round of feedback on the gameplay. Please leave a comment or send me a message if you'd like to try the latest prototype. I'm interested to know if it's fun, frustrating, boring, and what you feel is missing. Your feedback is invaluable to me, and it's the best way that I know of to improve the game. Otherwise, my only shot would be to get really, really lucky.
One last thing: I'm going to change the name of the game from "Farm of Fetishes" to "Monster Girl Farmer" because I think the latter is much more informative about what the game's about and its primary fetishes. I'll be updating the "about" page of the Patreon to include details of my vision for the game after this post, so look out for that, soon.
