[Feedback] Tessa's Maze of Edging

[intermolecularpyro]

Hi everyone!

Finally I've finished my first tease. You've probably seen several posts of mine asking about coding stuff, so thank you to everyone who helped me out there.

The tease draws ideas from a lot of my favourites on Milovana. There's loads of stroking and edging, optional CBT, possibility of full or ruined orgasm, total denial, and several minigames. It is first and foremost a maze, so it'll likely take several attempts to complete. It is completely mappable if you want to keep written track of the layout. I tried to inject some personality into the teasers you'll encounter, and what they say and do can be influenced by who you meet and when, what directions you go, and more.

Though I'm happy with it in a finished state, there's still lots of room for adding stuff - and I will be. Things like more interactions with and between the girls, more rooms, more games, etc. I don't have loads of alone time to work on it, but I'll post here when I do add things.

Please let me know here of anything you enjoy about the tease, and of course any suggestions you have for improvement. Tell me of any bugs you find too, it is a pretty large tease.

Please use spoiler tags when speaking about specific things rather than general feedback though. It's much better going in not knowing much.

I hope you have fun in Tessa's Maze of Edging!

BUGFIXES/ADJUSTMENTS

Spoiler: show

- Fixed a bug where a couple of girls would say you've met before when you haven't. (new game required)
- Increased the continue timer for one of the points rooms.
- Continue timers for points rooms now auto-continue instead of auto-exit.
- Added choice to skip the intro warmup when starting a new game, available after saving progress for the first time.
- Fixed a bug where upon successfully completing Sarah's room there would be no option to return to the maze.
- Fixed a bug where 'cop Tessa' wouldn't deduct points upon failing her task.

Yeah I noticed a little bug near the beginning basically as soon as I uploaded it.
Took it down, fixed it, and re-uploaded.
Hoped no-one would notice, haha!

It's actually up now.

I haven't had a chance to really play it yet but I did play for about 15 minutes. The main thing I really enjoy is the balance between edging and stroking is nice. Too often I find mazes to be light on edging for my liking while this yours looks to have a decent amount in it but not too much.

I do like how there is some randomness in an individual room. I went through the same room 4ish times and had 3 different stroking speeds. That will be really nice when navigating to keep a bit of surprise around the corner. I felt the average room time was fairly good even the ones that were a bit longer due to a game happening in the room.

Spoiler: show

One unlikely but possible bug I might have encountered:
I don't remember the name but it was the room at NNNEE when you play the coin flip game at the shortcut. I got heads all 4 times. Clearly its possible to get that but just figured I would mention it.

The only "complaint" I have is purely a personal preference in that I don't find really large tits like Tessa's and a few others to be all that attractive.

One possible addition / change would be a way to jump to the lobby. This might be possible using the save feature but I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

I definitely look forward to being able to give the tease a proper run in the next few days.

the woman in the east doesn't let you back in the maze.
It's a dead end and in the top right of the pics it says Sarah Randall or something.
I pressed cumming and then back and then "had to stop" so i got back. just cost me some points

I'm glad about that! I really wanted some variety and freshness when backtracking.

That's fair enough, there's a saying that goes, "make something you like and it will be good" or something like that at least. I tried to strike a happy medium with the mix of girls in the maze.

If you quit, you can continue from the last time you were at the lobby, assuming you saved there. Backtracking to the lobby is an important part of the tease though. I could add a button at the end of each room to do it at a cost maybe?

Hmm, I've tried replicating the bug but I seems to work fine for me. Sounds similar to a problem I've had before to do with the internet connection when using a mobile device. Are you using one? If you are, switching from WiFi to cellular or vice versa seems to give stuck teases a kick to get going again. If not, then I'm not sure. Anyone else seen this bug? I'll have another look at it soon just in case.

Oops I didn't clarify it properly. I meant purely as a way to skip the warmup / intro and not in the maze itself. I like the idea of a trek back to the lobby with points as being important in the maze. And it sounds like the save feature does take care of that.

I noticed that the points are really difficult to earn, I traveled through the maze for over an hour and found only 5 points. If there are

Spoiler: show

300

of them, I don’t understand at all where to find so many

[intermolecularpyro]

In rooms where you can earn points, you can get up to

Spoiler: show

50 depending on how far you get through the tasks in that room.

Which room did you earn your 5? (spoiler tag please) I'll have a look and see if there's any issue with it.

EDIT:

There's often a timer when choosing to continue in those rooms (don't want to give too much of a break partway through!). I've increased it a bit so it's less likely to be missed in case that's what's happened.

EDIT2:

Actually, I've just changed the way those timers work. You shouldn't miss out on continuing if you miss the choice now.
Thanks for the feedback!

I've just made it through the tease.
I loved the large variety of games and challenges, that really makes a tease great. I had to do a few of them more than once, but as they are all so different, that wasn't a problem.
I also liked the idea of having to carry points back that might be taken from you.

Spoiler: show

I think, I have discovered everything as I mapped out the maze. I found all 5 rooms to win points, won a few more by gambling, used the balcony and got send to the basement for it (really liked the question for the number of edges, I like little mean things like that) and the secret passage way. I've finished with 273 points. The final sequence could have been a bit longer. When I've made it through a monumental tease like that, it is a bit more satisfying if there is a longer ending sequence or maybe an other game at the end. I won a full orgasm but as I'm not allowed to cum I did not take it. I rarely come for teases, so I also like it, if there is an option to not cum. Like the leading mistress offering to give up the orgasm for her and just do a last long edge or something. But I am also fine with just ignoring that last instruction.

Some of the stroking counts could have been higher for me and some stroking speed faster. There was this one game, where you are challenged not to edge, but that speed is just not fast enough to make that difficult for me. Also all the "finish the strokes within x seconds" tasks were just too easy. I know however that that cannot fit everyone.

Great work all together, especially for a first tease. Also, I could not spot any bugs.

Spoiler: show

I got tails a few times as well. Getting heads four times in a row has a probability of 1/16, so it isn't that unlikely. Things like that quickly feel "biased" but we humans are not good at randomness.

[mandarynkorian]

I'd just add an option where there is 50% of possibility that you won't speak to already visited maid.
As an easy/fast version of current game

Spoiler: show

It's interesting that so far every room is something, my only experience with a maze before this was THE BEST an estim maze, and it's still a favorite, but every space isn't necessarily an experience and I like that better. I also agree that a more median boob size would be my preference, even less than median in asian models. I would also suggest a returning player would get a skip intro to the maze entrance. I didn't notice a total reset option either, and think that would be a welcome addition.

I really like the randomness of each event, that just getting the same room doesn't get you the same situation each time. I only got to play a little, but it's been fun so far.

Basically, I'll do this. Longer final stretch, and denial choice will be added at some point.

On difficulty:

I'll look at making some kind of hard mode to increase speeds and counts. Don't want to change the base difficulty too much as you're right, it can't fit everyone.

On models:

I also agree that a more median boob size would be my preference, even less than median in asian models.

I will at some point add in some options to change to an alternate set.
Please feel free for anyone to suggest models, or send me a link to a photoset to use (solo, mostly softcore).

Thank you all for your feedback so far! I've been making this whole thing on mobile, so the Eos editor is a bit finicky. Could take a little while for certain changes to be implemented, but it'll happen.

I still have my points saved, I guess. So I will try it out. I wasn't asking for changes to that tease though. It is a great tease. I was just trying to give some feedback for future teases you might make I don't think, I will redo the whole tease, I almost never do that, or if I do it, then months or years in the future.

I will at some point add in some options to change to an alternate set.

I didn't comment on that before. I thought the models are all pretty hot. I don't have a fetish for big boobs, but for me the models are not that important, as long as they are somehow attractive and not hentai.

Thank you all for your feedback so far! I've been making this whole thing on mobile, so the Eos editor is a bit finicky.

I think I would get mad doing something that complex on a phone. I hope we're going to see more teases from you, maybe even more mazes, and I also hope, you'll get your hands on a laptop

Haha thanks, it's a bit awkward to do but 95% of things are possible. Just need to copy and paste text a lot!

I think I'll tinker with this tease for a while before making anything new. I've totally caught the creating bug now though so I'll almost definitely publish more in the future!
