Secret comes around in v0.16. Out Now!
🕑 Added 2022-10-01 18:17:52 +0000 UTCAlright everyone! I didn't make a post Friday, and just saved it for the release here. As always, there will likely be some bugs right out the gate :P. So keep tuned for hotfixes in the near future.
IMPORTANT:
Before dropping the changelog I want to give a heads up that these next few months will have a lot of information being thrown around. I will be giving progress reports, but I will also be giving a rundown on distribution for those who it applies (If you have contributed $14.99 USD or more here on patreon, you will get a copy of v1.0 when it is finished). This also leads to my next point. v0.16 will be the FINAL build to be posted in this manner, as the next build is the completed game(not including hotfixes). On top of these, I will also be talking about and doing some teasers for our project that we will be pursuing upon SpunkStock's completion. This is literally the final stretch, so some progress reports may contain additional info. I will be sure to label any posts that are important.
Now onto the build!

Unfortunately, at the moment, it is not available for Mac. I do want to get it on Mac though. I want to first have my own system, so I can give better support/work fixes on the OS. Last thing I want is a playerbase who needs help, and I have no way of properly supporting them.
John Cassell
Is there any way to play this on a mac?
Regulus
Ah yeah, this one slipped by me. Thanks for the report. It likely won't be patched up in a hotfix here, but it will be fixed for v1.0.
Regulus
Ya, the loading screen icons don't always represent the scene that's being loaded in to. The only time it will actively do so is when loading a "song". I appreciate you mentioning it though.
Drew
Hey Regulus, just wanted to mention that in the mei titfuck option, the loading screen shows boba. small problem, i think but thought youd like to know!

Hey Regulus, just found a bug with the gauntlet. When going into the first boss(?) (might just be Nammi) but my Gold Coins turn into how many points/hearts I had before starting the gauntlet. ie: I had 107 coins before the first boss and now it is showing as 26049 coins. And when I reroll it still uses the Gold Coins, but it does not fix the number shown and it does not remove points/hearts.

Consistency doesn't matter. Patreon tallies supporter's total lifetime contributions. I can filter the supporters by such. (Even if they are not currently a supporter). I'll send you a message in a few minutes if you, specifically are eligible.
Regulus
Ritual is a risky one to get. It does provide additional white modifiers which is great, but you are right. When you are near the end things can get very fragile where 1 silver modifier could be the difference. Choosing silver modifiers wisely is definitely important in the gauntlet. Glad you've been having fun ^^!

there was some months where i couldnt afford the game atm. will i still be eligable of the copy? ive payed since cali if i remember correctly
Nicholas
Oh boy does Ritual make gauntlet so hard. the dreaded 2 tempo-ups, with mine. and 4 nitros. can't even see what the next note is. then throw in the Yu/Mei boss. talk about tough. Overall though, I 100% am enjoying myself trying to beat gauntlet at least once.

I def ran the gauntlet without removing chars a few times haha. I never retried, it was always an exit and then restart from scratch as a new instance (usually due to the bug at the penultimate boss which is fixed now ^^). And yeah my rep was around 18000 at the time and my GC coin value showed up as a round 18000, but functioned as zero. Unrelated but I really love Secret as a new char. Keep it up! :D
Mensn
oh my god, I love the new UI, its sooooo smooth and pretty
Regulus
Glad you liked it ^^. It was a fun build to make!
John Tyler
LOVED IT! Secret is so damn HOT! Loved the HScenes, loved the pin-ups and loved the conversation scenes after endurance! Just all in all a straight 10/10 JEEZ! I would *LITERALLY* pay for more scenes with Secret LOL! Amazing! Also LOVE the tanlines, what an AMAZING touch! Also may I add, that new threesome scene with Fufu Yoni and Ruth... MMMM Talk about SEXY! ;D
Regulus
hmm interesting. I'll look into it today here, and see if I can get it patched for the hotfix. Thanks for letting me know! Couple questions if you have the time. Do you "Retry" at all during this, and how do you typically end the gauntlet? (ie. Failing/Quitting/Completing) *EDIT* And by "attempt" do you mean each round within a gauntlet, or starting a new instance of the gauntlet? *EDIT 2* I believe I found the issue. If you click "Play" in the set up before removing any characters, it would never calculate how many coins to give. I have a fix ready for the hotfix. The biggest question now, however, is how you came across the display showing "regular rep count". Was the actual number representing your rep, or was it just the text saying "rep"?
blurbbb
The other bug I'm seeing in Gauntlet mode is that after 2-3 attempts, I've stopped getting any coins to spend on items or rerolls. My Gauntlet coins are always 0 now. Occasionally, they'll appear with the same value as my regular rep count but I still can't spend them regardless. :/

Awesome! I was just about to report this. Thx for fixing it so fast,
okazawa123
Kk thanks for the reply :) awesome work with the game btw.
Regulus
At the moment there are no plans to add a toggle. Sorry :(
Regulus
Alright, I have uploaded v0.16.2 which should this all fixed up.
okazawa123
Hey there, any plans on making a toggle for secret between male and female or is the character set in stone as male?
Regulus
Hmm, that sounds like a bug. I will look into it. Thanks for letting me know! *EDIT* Do you remember what the character was that kept repeating? Nvm, I think I know what it is. I made a small change last second that I'm pretty sure messed it up. I will fix it ASAP.

Question about Gauntlet mode: I've made it to the semi-final boss but I've been having to replay the second-to-last boss several times and it won't progress to the last boss. Is this a bug or am I missing something in the game?
