Legend of the Psyons - Huge RPG Estim Project - Now open-ish alpha - Bug reporting and feedback

[nocnoc]

@Janek23: Estim plays an integral role in the mechanics of the game as well as the main storyline. You can find greater detail in other posts but basically you experience mild pleasure while exploring the world, more intense pleasure while having sex with the locals, and experience pain when being punished by the locals or taking damage during combat (fighting the Psyons which are interdimensional invaders to the femdom world of Milovana). There are a few dozen types of custom made estim signals, some of them several minutes long, but the focus of the game is storyline, lore, RPG, exploration/looting, and romancing the townsfolk. The estim files are optimized and primarily tested for unfiltered boxes, but with enough tweaking you can get it to work with most devices with the exception of a few of the spikier pain signals. When the game nears completion (probably still a few years away as it's huge) I will try to add some specific support for popular boxes like the 2B. A good chunk of players don't use estim at all, which is an option, but you do lose out on a pretty unique and immersive gameplay element.

I just got back from a winter vacation and will try to have the minor update with a focus on new forest random encounters out as soon as possible. Most of the work for that update is already complete. Happy holidays to all of my adventurers.

How is the game e-stim wise? Usable with 2B?

Hello everyone.

First of all, the concept of the game is fantastic. I like it very much. Sometimes I struggle with the translations, but then I get punished for that, that my English is so bad :D

Regarding your question about B2. Yes, it works pretty well. A few pain files are too weak, but there are never painful jumps.

My tip for the B2, 2 channels, first channel = shaft and balls and 2nd channel asshole.
Take your time when calibrating. Then do a fine tuning with the Pleasure File and Pain Fail No. 3. These work best with the B2.

My settings on the PC are 75% output of the sound card and on the B2 (with power supply) channel A 18% and channel B 12% (this can vary depending on the toy)

Have fun.

P.S. When will there be an update?

@Moorepheus: Thanks for the 2B details. I'm sure some players will find that to be useful information.

@Everyone: I thought I'd welcome in the new year with an update. V0.14.1 is now live on the tester link. This minor update focused on adding random forest encounters to make that zone more interesting. Save game data from V0.14.0 should remain compatible. I'll post detailed release notes later tonight or tomorrow.

[nocnoc]

Summary: Alpha version 0.14.1 is now live on the tester link. This is a minor update and should remain compatible with save game data from 0.14.0. I wanted to get an update out for the new year. The primary focus of this release was on random encounters in the forest zone, much like those that were already in the graveyard zone. Some people have asked how the mechanic of random encounters works in the combat zones (which is different from location specific random encounters in the town). Basically, every time you travel there is a chance for a random encounter to trigger. This chance starts very small and then slowly increases every time you travel. Once a random encounter triggers, the chance drops way back down again. The idea is to sprinkle these little (and sometimes big) distractions around as you go about your quests, explorations and combat. Because of this random mechanic, you may get several of these events in a short period of time, or you may go a while without one triggering. Once triggered, the game then builds a list of possible encounters that you are eligible for. Once the list is built, one of the encounters is randomly selected. Some encounters have few or no requirements, while others have multiple prerequisites that must be met before they are placed on the list. For example, you may only be eligible for a particular encounter if you are past level 7, have over 50 sexual XP, and have raised a particular NPC’s disposition past a specific value. Most encounters can take place over the entire zone, but a few have more restricted areas such as only in the more dangerous northern forest, or only along the river in the eastern side of the forest. There are now 20 random encounters that can trigger in the forest and a few more are already in the works. Some are short and simple peeping-type distractions while others are elaborate, long and variable (depending on NPC dominance for example) with branching choices. Some feature sexual encounters. In the previous version of the game, there were only 2 random encounters available in the forest, both involving Megumin and both requiring that you were traveling with her as your combat companion. So, this update features 18 new encounters which should make your adventuring through the forest more interesting. There were also a few other updates. See below for details.

-----> Release Notes <-----

--- New Content ---

* Four random forest scenes with Darkness *

- All four of these require that you have Darkness traveling with you as your companion. Two are chatter/dialog, one is a bathing scene (must be by the river), and one is a possible sex scene. The sex scene comes in two major variants, depending on her dominance level which is viewable in the Glossary.

* Six random forest scenes with Aqua *

- All six of these require that you have Aqua traveling with you as your companion. Two are chatter/dialog. One is a bathing scene (must be by the river). One is an ass worship scene. One is a special comfort scene that can be triggered if the player is badly injured. One is a very elaborate scene involving her climbing up a tree and falling. There are several branching possibilities based on your choices and random rolls.

* Four random forest scenes with Trix (the green-haired elf girl) and some changes to her dialog *

- The changes to her dialog require a little background to understand. Trix is first met in the tavern in one of two major ways (either solo or during an argument between her and Mya that can take place if you convince Mya to give you a blowjob after she gets drunk and laments the death of her grandmother after you complete her snow rose quest). Trix has one of the most branching story lines in the game depending on your choices and random rolls. You may just casually meet her in the tavern, or you may end up having sex with her under Mya’s guidance, or you may have her sent off to the dungeons where you may or may not then rescue her and so forth. These options then result in one of four major types of later game encounters that take place between you and Trix just outside of the tavern. Each of these four major options feature further branching possibilities. This is where the changes come in. It is now easier to convince her to use her acute hearing to go hunt Psyons in the forest. She must decide to do this for any of the four forest encounters to trigger. If you have saved game data from V0.14.0 AND you have already had this dialog with her and now wish to activate her forest activity without starting a new game, you may enter the following in the cheat console (note proper capitalization):

execute data.world.trixForestEncounters = true

- One of her encounters involves her hunting and can provide you with a new stealth related boon (see below for more details). One of these is focused on foot worship. The foot worship can serve as a secondary way to get her first aid boon which increases the potency of all health potions. There was already a VERY specific pathway to obtain this boon in the game, but I doubt more than a few percent of players ever discovered it. More players should be able to get it now and it is a very useful boon. One scene involves you peeping on her masturbating behind a tree which can then lead to a sex scene. The sex scene comes in two major variants depending on her dominance level at the time which is viewable in the glossary. The final scene can only take place in the river area and it also involves Penelope (the blonde priestess that you rescue in the well tunnels). Obviously, you must have rescued her. Additionally, Ariel will sometimes lock Penelope in chastity. If this is the case, you must also have completed the quest to get her unlocked as well.

* Four random lesbian forest scenes *

- These four scenes are simple peeping events involving unnamed NPCs that do not have branching options. They should be a fun distraction though. It should become increasingly obvious to the player that although women are less susceptible to the psyonic energy compared to men, they are not entirely immune. Some women have even decided to brave the dangers outside of the town barrier to enjoy the aphrodisiac effect. Some of these encounters have level requirements.

* Miscellaneous *

- Added a new boon called enhanced stealth that can be obtained during Trix’s foot worship scene in the forest (see above). This is a very powerful boon, especially for rogues. It increases the chance to get a sneak attack when traveling in stealth mode and cuts the action point penalty for traveling in stealth mode in half. There are now a total of 15 boons in the game, but some of them are pretty hard to discover.

- Added some dialog for Bea (the gambling elf in the tavern) that better fleshes out the backstory of the elves.

- Added some companion-related content to the pool of random game tips that Mya spouts.

- Added some chatter that you can eavesdrop on in the tavern related to companions.


--- Bug Fixes ---

- At the graveyard location featuring the statue of a weeping angel, a line of text went off screen. This was fixed.

- In the cathedral (north of the graveyard) in the banquet hall, one of the option buttons that was supposed to be labeled “back” was labeled “turn”. This was fixed.

- Fixed a few typos.


Upcoming plans: I hope to push out one more minor release before getting to work on 0.15.0, which will be a major undertaking. The minor release will add more content related to the companions (like bathhouse encounters and the like) and I still need to finish a kinky quest to aid the guild of heroines involving Scarlet and her big boobs.

Request for more testers: Those interested in playing/testing the game can message me for the alpha tester link. With this link, you can play the game in your browser just like any other Eos tease. Your bug reports (including typos) and feedback and suggestions are welcome either on this thread or via private message. I also just like hearing of your adventures as knowing that people are enjoying this rather niche type of game content is a huge motivational driver for me, given the crazy scope that this project has grown into over the years. It’s four years in the making now! There has been a notable drop off in tester feedback over the past few months. Some of my most active testers have been busy lately and I think this is just a busy time of year for a lot of people. Thus, I could really use the help of more people going through the game with a fine-toothed comb and tracking down issues. If you are reluctant to play an alpha build because you fear it may be riddled with bugs – it’s not. Know that the game is quite polished, and bugs should be few and far between (but I’d like them near zero with your help). Also know that although some locations and features are still marked as under development, there are still dozens of hours of content for you to explore and hopefully enjoy. There is also a lot of replay value if you try a different player class and make different impactful choices. By design, one can not see all of the game content in a single playthrough. Help from testers frees up more of my time for development.

@Janek23: Estim plays an integral role in the mechanics of the game as well as the main storyline.

Sounds great!
Is the open alpha still open? I'd love to try the game.

[Moorepheus]

Hi,

I also need a current link to the new version.

It would be great if you could send it to me. Looking forward to the update.

[Sissyminnie]

This tease sounds amazing! I’d love to become another tester.
I have an ET-312 estim device and a DIY stim box. I’ve tested and provided feedback for other milovana estim releases in the past.

[Seraph]

I'm interested in helping test as well. I have an ET312B.

[ILuvPlanes208]

Just wanted to get an update on the next update! Thanks!

[nocnoc]

I got a little work done on the 0.14.2 update right after the last release, but then a big work-related project came up that took up just about all of my time. The good news is that the project is now complete. I just returned from my travels a few days ago and I'm eager to get back to work on this. Unfortunately, I'm not far enough along for an ETA, but as a minor update, this one shouldn't take too long. I also have some time off next month, so if I'm not done by then, that will give me the time to get it done. After that, I'll get to work on the major 0.15.0 update which will be substantial and take some time. I usually post about my incremental progress on the big updates. I've had a lot of content ideas on the back burner for a while that I finally expect to get to in that release. I grow increasingly eager to retire so that I can spend most of my time on projects that I'm passionate about like this game, but that is still years away lol.

Please continue to provide bug reports and feedback and stories of your adventures. It's very valuable.

[Hoot91]

2B user here and, for science, I would love to help you test this game, if you would be so kind as to send me the link?

[nocnoc]

Hi everyone. The minor release update will be out very soon. Sorry for the delay. I've been distracted by two things. I've been playing a lot of Oblivion Remastered as this was one of my favorite games of all time. In the long run, classic games like that help to give me inspiration for my own projects like LOTP. I've also been busy beta testing a new stereo estim power box by Estim Hero. I highly recommend this unit for an optimal LOTP experience. You can find my detailed product review here: viewtopic.php?t=27717

Once I get the minor update out, I'll be working on the major update nearly full time over the summer. I've set aside a lot of time, and I'm really looking forward to it.

[nocnoc]

Summary: Alpha version 0.14.2 is now live on the tester link. This is a minor update and should remain compatible with save game data from 0.14.0 and 0.14.1. This update features an elaborate random forest encounter with a bunny girl and a new quest available for the Guild of Heroines.

-----> Release Notes <-----

--- New Content ---

* One random forest scene with a bunny girl *

- You may now encounter an adorable, but somewhat insane, bunny girl while exploring the forest. This is an elaborate encounter with many possible outcomes, including possible sex scenes, depending on your dialog options and some random rolls. The numerous possible scenes are highly variable and involve a lot of pictures.

* One new quest *

- If you speak with Luna at the Guild of Heroines about the guild and offer to help her rebuild it, you’ll be tasked with a new quest. (You’ll permanently miss this quest if you don’t make the offer.) She’ll explain that the guild members use a special healing tonic to recover their hit points after combat, but that the guild is running short on supply. Scarlet has been late with her shipments. You are to meet or take Aqua over to Scarlet’s potion shop to see what the problem is and make sure Scarlet gets the vital tonic shipment to the guild. In many ways, this is a simple quest as you’ll just head on over there and deal with the situation, but what sets this quest apart is the extensive number of options you have for completion. Several other quests in the game have two or three ways to complete them, but this one has eight major paths and many of those have sub-paths. Which sorts of scenes that unfold will primarily depend on dialog choices, but one involves a sexualXp role and one of the eight scenes is exclusive to warriors. How you decide to deal with the tonic shortage will also have a huge influence on Aqua’s and Scarlet’s dominance and disposition. To give you some sense of the possibilities, you could end up witnessing Aqua dominating Scarlet with some rather interesting tactics, or a sensual lesbian sex scenes, or you may up experiencing a painful extraction of your seminal fluid to activate Scarlet’s enchanted dildos that can then lead to a tentacle scene. I won’t spoil all the possibilities. I probably got a little carried away with so many options on this one as it took much longer to make than I expected. It was an incredible amount of writing, picture gathering, and programming, but I still really enjoy knowing different players can experience a huge variety of content depending on their choices. I know many players will only see one or a small fraction of the outcomes, but the replay value is there for those that want to experience multiple playthroughs with different choices.

Special note for players using a save file from 0.14.0 or 0.14.1: If you have already talked to Luna about the guild, this quest will not trigger. You can use the cheat console to resolve this. Enter the guild hall and type the following in the cheat console without the quotes: “execute data[page].askGuild = true”. Once you enter that you should see the option to help Luna rebuild the guild when you ask her about it.

* Special new consumable *

- Once you complete the above-mentioned quest, you’ll be able to buy the healing tonic from Luna. It is very powerful, but she’ll only let you buy one at a time. (You could opt to sell yours to Lia in the general goods store, go buy another from Luna and then go back quickly and repurchase from Lia if you really want more than one. It acts as a consumable not a potion, so you can’t use it in combat, but it regenerates a lot of hit points and boosts your max HP for a long time as well.

* New buff *

- One of the eight options for the above-mentioned quest can have you drinking Scarlet’s breast milk. This Easter egg provides the longest (2.5 hours) buff in the game. It increases your constitution.



--- Bug Fixes ---

- Fixed a few typos.



Upcoming plans: I’ll be away on vacation until June 28th. Upon return, I will either start work on the next major update (0.15.0) or I might spend about one week wrapping up some town scenes involving the companions and release just those as (0.14.3) which will stay save game compatible. Either way, I have set aside a huge amount of time in July and August to work on game development. For those interested in playing or testing, you can PM me for a game link. I won’t be able to send out links until I return home. You can also ask another tester for the link.

[nocnoc]

I'm currently working on one more small update (0.14.3) which will focus on adding some more town content for the companions. Today I'm writing a really hot tavern scene that plays out if you select Aqua as your first companion. You see, the three ladies have a bet about who you'll hire first and this can have some interesting consequences. This small update should remain save compatible with all of the 0.14.x versions and should be out in a week or two. I'm working on the game nearly fulltime for the next two months. After 0.14.3, I'll get to work on the big 0.15.0 update, which will not be save compatible, as it will introduce at least one new zone. At the very earliest, this might be done by the end of August and followed up with a few minor releases, but if I don't get it to a playable state by then, I might need a few additional months to finish it, as I'll be returning to parttime development. I hope to hear of your adventures! I'm glad to hear so many people are enjoying this rather niche game. It keeps me motivated. Also, please report any bugs. You can PM me for the game link. Happy adventuring.

[Intenso]

I'm #3295 to say this... this project is truly amazing work... it just deserves the praise. Looking very much forward to dig in deeper and find out more on the updates.
