[RELEASE] The Fortune Teller

[Darigaaz]

fapnip already did an amazing job, and knowing him a bit now, I am sure he will keep improving all these. During my tests, I found out unfortunately that when such errors occurs, then there is no way out because that's probably because the redgifs server banned your IP.

Well, it worked fine after a reload and I did not change my IP. I would assume that there is some content delivery network at play distributing requests to different servers and sometimes some server fails or something. Even a skip the video button in such cases would be fine as it happens very rarely. Of course this is something that has probably to be changed in the player not your tease.

Yes, I'll check with fapnip what we could improve in the player and/or in the tease

Dude, that's because you're not playing it right For me, one beat = 1 stroke = 1 up + 1 down. Otherwise of course it is too borring I'll make it clear in the rules.

Oh, I always do a full up and down stroke. You just have no idea how many cockheros I have played

And the cumshots at 4 strokes per seconds are not difficult enough for you ?

And the cumshots at 4 strokes per seconds are not difficult enough for you ?

Well, they don't happen often enough and they are not really forcing me to edge. It keeps me hard and horny, sure, but a few minutes of that doesn't really force me to edge. Compare that to one of the more challenging cock-heros. They will make you stroke at a similar or slightly higher average speed and somewhat higher top speed, with much more varied beat patterns. Beat pattern variations get me to edge much quicker than raw speed. A mix of 2-3 times and 4 times a second would be more challenging than just a minute of 4 times a second. It still is a great tease like it is. Just, when I clicked "insane" mode, I expected something that would really push me, and if you compare it to cock-hero videos it just isn't that challenging. It still is a fun game to play though.

I must have tried the tease when it was down. I just played a few minutes to see if it worked. Looks EXCELLENT so far!

[Darigaaz]

I just updated the tease with fapnip's improvements regarding video loading

[Vicissitudo]

This tease it's just brilliant! Well done, I wish I could have voted it 6 stars!
Smooth interface, really enjoyable, easy to play, well customized, nice video selection and editing... well done!

Spoiler: show

The only thing I may say, but that's just my personal opinion, I was expecting something more for succeeding the challenge and with a more pleasing the ending...
We are warned that the brown/golden category will be useful "later" and to try to keep them so somehow I was expecting an additional challenge maybe with this category in particular with a "happy ending" and /or a secret way to unlock a scene with the future teller too... like a side "quest" maybe performing special activities during the tease...?

Anyway it's definitely one of the best teases so far! Good job!

Thanks

I am still getting an issue on iPad

Sorry, still working on that issue in OEOS' video player. It'll take me some time to sort this one out.

[dan0161]

Ah ok, no problem at all :)

Good luck with it, I look forward to completing the tease once you have.

[PirateKing]

this is great! Thanks for the tease :) Definitely gonna play it more than once.

1 question not about the tease tho: where can I find more oeos teases? I really like teases with video instead of pictures like this one. however the webtease page here only has picture ones. Is there a database or a page/site somewhere?

[JBK]

The tease looks very good and polished! I can only imagine the work you put into this. The mechanics are very refreshing.

Hopefully this tease sheds some well-deserved light on OEOS and its potential.

[Darigaaz]

Thanks all for your kind words. It helps me bear with the depressing (literally) 4.6 rating which is the lowest of my tease despite I think it is the most innovative one and the one which took me (and fapnip) the most effort

This is in fact the first OEOS tease, put apart the POC done by fapnip himself and there is no place ta list them.

Hopefully this tease sheds some well-deserved light on OEOS and its potential.

That's our hope with fapnip : make more and more people play with OEOS or, better, convince Milovana's admin to include OEOS features directly in EOS. That's why we need all of you to put this tease into the spotlights

I understand the disappointment from that rating and I'm actually in the same boat for something that consumed half a year of my life. Sadly the rating system kind of leads to this - I think they wanted to make it simple and approachable but it makes the innovative stuff get buried. I also feel like high rated teases from a year ago wouldn't be as highly rated today with the extra noise.

I have run through The Fortune Teller about 3-4 times now and have not reached the end of it yet. It is probably the most innovative tease I have seen yet and can tell the amount of work you have put into it. However, though I have not officially rated it yet, for me it would be a 4 star. (I consider an average tease to be 3). I wanted to give my opinions for why:

I have played a lot of cock heroes (far more than teases) so the concept is actually really up my alley. However, cock teases that jump right into more hardcore elements are ones I personally skip over. Because it is all "do X to girl" the decision of which card you choose feels somewhat meaningless to me. If there were ones like be flashed by or watch girl I could see the game having more of a "ramp" and the decisions meaning more. Thank you so much for giving a skip rest option.

As-is it all feels "samey" which makes me not want to play to the end in each attempt. I do like how there are cum cards shuffled in, makes the decision of when to redraw more interesting. Beyond that it feels like it is presented as a game without being a game but it is also very possible that I am missing or skipping over something important each time. Without the "game" element and synchronized music (which I understand would be an almost impossible task), it feels like an exciting tech demo that is teasing a capability, not a play experience I am excited to return to that I would give a 5 to. The IU is incredibly clean and polished. You should be very proud of it despite any of the scores and take every single kind word you have received to heart. Milovana is a better place because of you pushing the threshold multiple times.

[fapnip]

Because it is all "do X to girl" the decision of which card you choose feels somewhat meaningless to me.

The goal being to play 4 of the same action in a row, 4 times (once for each action), without the ability to play the same color twice in a row, makes the card you choose to play very important.

If you're talking about the selection of actions you can put in your deck, I guess that comes down to personal preference and time. While I would like some softcore options, etc., it's Darigaaz that put countless hours into editing/uploading/categorizing videos that are, I assume, to his tastes -- so unless I was willing to invest the time it would take to do that, I really can't complain. (Edit: I'm also not sure what those softcore "actions" would be, if softcore were to be added. But just think about the amount of work -- each action requires 10 colors/types [blonde, milf, teen, etc..], and each action+color requires around 10 60-second video clips -- so around another 400 video clips - a much more difficult ask than 400 images.)

it feels like an exciting tech demo that is teasing a capability, not a play experience I am excited to return to that I would give a 5 to.

That makes me sad.

That goal was still a bit nebulous to me after the game explanation. I went through it again and while I think I get it now, the game does not really point you in that direction visually other than telling you what cards you can't play and changing color of the upper right items. I guess I'm hungry for more of a game loop decision wise but 99% of teases don't have one. I just look for it here because it looks like it is setup that way.

And you are right, the lack of softcore was not a request to put more untold hours in and not a complaint at all. I can only imagine how many were put in (which is one reason I held my score) but I suppose it is wishing that the number of current categories was more varied. If they would not be to the designers tastes then I completely understand them not being included. It would be no fun to work on something that doesn't appeal to you. The endings were superb but it was odd for me to end on softcore instead of the other way around. I still think it is a really good concept and one of the better teases.

And no! I didn't mean for anyone to be sad, if it sounds too critical please delete my comments. That was not the intention at all. What I thought I read was that a score average was seen that conflicted with the designer's vision and I was trying to explain how that might have happened. I think it is great and have played it about 5 times, 2 to the ending. I am considering 5 stars now but wanted to explain the few bits that didn't land as well for me. Thanks for listening and this really should be something you are proud of!

This tease is a fantastic glimpse into the sheer potential of OEOS. I gave it a full 5 stars because I absolutely DO WANT to see this kind of content again and again. I really enjoyed my first play through and plan to go again here soon, with different cards. Darigaaz and fapnip did a fantastic job and the game is very polished for a "first foray" into serious teasing with OEOS.

Please, keep going! Only good things can come of pursuing this line of teasing. :)
