Thank you, yv0751, for creating this great game. I have a lot of fun playing it.
I have a question, though, since you marked the game as finished.
In-game, you can set Nimhe to convert Bot Crates into Shells as her daily task. There are three options:
"Craft Bot shells - Type J, K, C (uses 3 Standard Bot crates)
"Craft Bot shells - Type L, P (uses 3 Military Bot crates)
"Craft Bot shells - Type V, N (uses 3 Rare Bot crates
But in my case, Nimhe only ever produces Type J shells.
Mind you, of course I put all the triplets in the ship's inventory.
No other shell type beside J is ever produced for the Simple Shell option and no shell at all is ever produced and no error is shown for the other two options. After the day is finished, the crates needed for the two options are still in the inventory. After producing the J shell, however, they are correctly removed.
So is it a feature planned for the future expansions or do I simply miss some prerequisites.
Shouldn't these options be disabled if Nimhe cannot fulfil the command.
And shouldn't the "Simple Shell" command be renamed if she is only able to make the Type J shells?
On another note: Skipping one hour repeatedly (hour glass icon) does trigger the production, while skipping the whole day (moon icon) doesn't. This is also something one wouldn't normaly expect, right?
Glad you enjoyed the game.
I could have explained the shell crafting more explicitly.
In order to craft a shell, Nimhe must first "know" it (this prevents her crafting shells you have never seen...)
In her dialogue select "Botlab Voucher" and give her a shell to study (only once needed for each shellt type). You get this option once you have advanced to Sex with her.
Then this shell is added to the shells she creates out of a shell tier.
Thanks for the one hour / sleep inconsistence. I need to fix that. As a workaround you can click on your bed to pass a (half) day.
Ah! Thanks a lot. Now it makes perfectly sense.
....so....I think there will be opportunity to get to know all the seven shell types?
QC activity is only possible for the basic one, the V and the N.
Regarding the botlab they are all implemented and can be found.
- N, V, K in the Krell Asteroid Belt on loot Bots
- P, G in Quthor Asteroid belt on loot Bots
- I, J and the Galaxina Prototype Shell are special items (Galaxina cannot be created in 1.40)
So, what kind of crate type is shell G? It's not listed in any of the three tasks. I guess it's a Luxury Type, so three Military Bot cases?
Its the Golden Seductress Shell (The one with the Golden Corset). Maybe i mixed up the letter and it is L.
Also, there is a small error/inconsistency in the dialog when you obtain the J shell
Here it says it will cost one crate while in fact it costs three.
Ah, the description in the Walkthrough (on page 52) is also wrong.
Yes, i unified it to 3 crates each and forgot to update some text.
I must say, the whole idea of bot shells is ingenious. It's like taking a game that's already great and adding to it the whole "Gotta Catch 'Em All" aspect. Trying to get all the possible shells and to produce all the sex bots with them and putting them to work is extremely satisfying. It's a completely separate game in itself.
I'm trying really hard and my best bot is valued at 34,143,286 Cr atm. :) It's a Type V Shell bot , btw.
I'm glad you like the shell idea.
It was an approach to create a visual variation with reasonable render effort.
34 Mil is great. During testing whenever I have 8 Mill or more I feel already good about.
There are Bot experts though who push the boundary. Best I have seen is a non-escaping Bot for 134 Mil. (Galaxina Shell). I assume with heavy backscrolling/rerolling for the addons...
Thats why I introduced the MV Pod idea which enables you to carry those bots forward into your next/new game iteration.
I just finished ver 140_18. It´s a great little, well balanced game that kept me entertained for hours. I would just have liked more than a few lines of text once the crew of the ship has arrived on Earth. And I probably will play it all over again, to get all the finesses. Keep up the good work!
Ii'm glad you enjoyed playing the game.
Regarding the return sequence, I was thinking about how extensive to make it but in the end decided that the game is about the journey and not the arrival. That's why I limited the information about the characters to one sentence rather than having cut scenes or images.
Please feel free to reply to any request with: "No."
No explanations necessary, although any supplied will be appreciated.
Please, some way to see exactly which bot shells (types K,N,L,etc) Nimhe is currently able to craft in each tier. Perhaps with another drop down sub menu when assigning daily tasks so that we can request a specific type in each category. Or the drop down menu for her tech skill on her stats window.
When watching Khelara exercise she talks about training with a plug, could we give her one for some kind of bonus or achievement, either for her or me or both? And maybe then a third training 'pose' with it in sometimes?
Please, list somewhere (walkthrough appendix?) the requirements for each of the trophies to light up in the player base, as well as a list of, and the requirements for, all of the achievements each of the characters can get.
Can the Type-J in your cabin learn more than two positions? She still states her sexual service training is incomplete.
Can we please train T'Ris with a pet trick (or 2?) to do while out 'walking'? Even if it is simply assuming the blowjob position on her knees with her hands behind her back? Give us an excuse to buy and use Pet Training Voucher 2.
Would be nice if we could order a drink from the barmaid at the pirate outpost. Buy a round for Vigo and Krogneath while bragging about our latest bounty kill(s)?
It would be kind of cool if the desk in Moira's quarters accumulated the novels 'I' write and give her. See how high we can stack them up? Maybe she can donate them somewhere (Library?) to clear it off if it gets too high, and in the process learn who was the author, giving me or her some bonus or achievement.
Any way to make it so that you can close the inventory window with "I" as well as "X"? If I just want to see if I have something or how many and close it quickly using "I" for both to open and close would be convenient.
Too many 'future version' still in the walkthrough if 1.40 is a 'final' product, you've said there 'might' be a 1.50? Do we need to donate a bit more or are you wanting to move on to a different project or ___?
Bugs?
T'Ris is a no show and suffers stress when i ask for night favor but Moira is coming that night after I am asleep, so why couldn't T'Ris show up to help put me to sleep first?
Salvage Drones - only 'count' when bought at Xenos station - replicated ones get 'stolen'.
After sex with Seraphine I don't get to see a clear picture of her with her legs up because the text window is there immediately. Might be because of laptop but it is a new view that should have a screen with no text so that I can take a screenshot please.
Cheat/Bug or just good strategy?
I got to 21 tech skill, could have gotten higher maybe? I was at 17 and Quality Controlled a bunch of bots one after the other, should have saved them until I was 19 hehe.
Thanks for the suggestions. I hope you enjoyed the game so far.
There will be two more extensions for the game until end of this year.
I'll add some of those bigger ideas that fit into the release plan. Some were already planned (Khelara content for 1.60, major pet content in 1.50, crafting GUI Nimhe, etc...)
The minor GUI issues (inventory, cutscene screen persistence, ...) I can address in 1.50 already.
The replication issue (items not showing up) should be solved in 1.40-18b btw.
T'Ris no-show, walkthrough cleanup.
Thanks again for the ideas.
One more item, after having sex with Seraphina you lose two hours instead of just one. It looks like the game is set to make you leave her cabin when done, but ticks an hour for being done, then another hour when entering the hallway.
Thx. Fixed. :)
... Could you maybe make an upgrade of the argus designed to decrypt Premium Shells?
It could take 6 Elite AI Cores instead of chips to have it function enough to both clone the Galaxina and Infiltrator Shells (With Nimhe at max Tech Skill) and keep all bots aboard (Including Infiltrators, but not arcade) from attempting escape.
Additionally, the princess could use the Galaxina bot as her chambermaid...
Just a few suggestions to help wrap things up in a satisfactory manner... You do great work and I'm looking forward to seeing what You're capable of!
thanks for the suggestions. I think the chamber maid proposal is interesting.
As to creation of the shells there are two premium shells, namely type eye and type P which can already be crafted in the current version. The only exception is Galaxina
S2 creation of the shelves there are two premium shells, namely type eye and type P which can already be crafted in the current version. The only exception is Galaxina
May be there will be a difficult quest in the next game expansion which heals the capability to craft also this shell.
im having a hard time trying to do smuggling missions and i dont know how to get the item i need for it
specifically, slaves
as i wanted to discourage slave trade a bit, you cannot buy slaves (sometimes krogneath may have some)
The game is really great.
The only thing is, I still don't understand how to free the slaves. The manual just has a line about freeing them. Help^^
Eject the pod in space and space patrol will be notified and pick them up
Thank you)))
A typo has sneaked by.
After installing mining laser (day1)
T'Ris says... "I noticed that the a minining lasrt has com online."
shoud be... "I noticed that a mining laser has come online."
And another one.
After T'Ris updates the navigation computer
T'Ris says... "its signatures are interesting..."
should probably be "its signature is interesting..."
Yet another one.
After Nimhe comes onboard the first time.
MC(Jim) says..."I have prepared Guest Cabin One for you."
..."The uplink is installed as well."
should probably be... "The uplink is installed there as well."
Also the new game title page still has "this game is under development..." on it.
And finally in the Active Quest menu
Should the show/hide future content button be removed now that the games is suppost to be finished?
thanks for submitting the issues. That button should indeed also be removed. I will fix it in the next minor update.
YES! ... Don't forget to mark the pc version as Linux compatible. Anyways, Thank you!
Thanks, wasn't aware that both boxes could be checked.
Any chance for the game to come to Steam?
This version might, but not for months to come.
I'll be waiting, i will purchase it there if it does :)
Congratulations! It's been a fantastic journey watching the game grow and evolve! Looking forward to the next one!
Glad to hear you liked it.
The vision was much bigger but then reality checked me :)
How do I update my game? do I delete my game and download the new game?
1. transfer your gear into the the multiverse pod (if you want), see walkthrough
2. Download and install new version into a new folder
3. Pick up your gear and continue at a suitable point
So, I create a new folder. Name it something like V1.40 and download the new file there. Can I delete the old version? I have limited storage. Just wanted to confirm, not used to downloading game like this.
yeah you can delete the old version. you might want to fill your multiverse pod before you do (see walkthrough)
thank you.
I hope there will be further work done on the Pony Walk and T'Ris Pet stories.
That will be in expansion 1.50 ;)
Ill be honest im probably to dumb to figure out the thing in the Beacon so can i maybe get some hints for that? ^^
That is described in the walkthrough in op :)
Wow! Congratulations!
Thanks!
Legendary.
Glad you enjoyed the game. :)
