[RELEASE][FEEDBACK] Save men v0.2

Hello,

Today, I release Save men v0.2

Introduction & warming

First of all, I want to very clear on what this version is and what it isn't: v0.2 is a content addition with some little corrections. That's it. Don't expect core gameplay changes which will come in v0.3 (v0.2 has been created before your feedback on v0.1)

=> I could have skipped publishing v0.2 since I know most of you are waiting core changes which have been developed in v0.3. Though many things from v0.2 won't be in v0.3 because it has been reworked or removed. So I still want to share it, a bit like a legacy version. Though I would totally understand if you prefer to wait for v0.3.

Feedbacks on v0.1

Game has been played more than 20 000 times
It ranked 3.9 stars (despite a chaotic start with the freeze)
More than 20 000 views on the previous forum topic
=> all of that is very encouraging

Here are some suggestions been made:
-a ride out quest blocked when player not progressing in other quests: fixed since v0.2 (MOST ASKED)
-less linear battles and game : available in v0.3 (MOST ASKED)
-text typo and grammar: I just fixed few things in v0.2 though I did not wanted to go through the all process since most dialog has been rewritten for v0.3
-avoid all cap on slideshow: available in v0.2 (mostly) and in v0.3 totally
-put green light/red light indication on picture: available in v0.3
-make it a game with jerking instructions: won't happen at least in short term

v0.2 update details

2 main new girls to defeat:
-a ginger
-Staisha's yoga teacher
=> More challenging

1 boss with more than 500 HP

5 new events:
-a butterfly girl
-a vegan wanting to climb a tree to grab fruits
-a girl running
-a girl desperate to pee
-a girl who likes quiz

2 new quests:
-the forest boss
-snacks and snakes
+ "meet those girls" updated with more girls to find
+ "a ride out" which now doesn't depend from "a pink mushroom progression" to trigger Maria meeting
=> Could you get the maximum 100 intel?

New objects introduced
-Repulsive Spray which allows to prevent any wild animal to approach
-Boar Chop which cure you 15 HP instant
=> some tweaks has also been made to the traders and the seller accordingly

Game over
There is no more game over
=> no game over when people reach 30 days
=> no game over when people reach 300 sickness

Day
Now you go to sleep at 8pm rather than 6pm (to compensate wild life feature)

Wild life
You can now meet:
-A snake
-A boar
-A moskito
-A squirrel
-A wasp nest
You can also prevent them annoying you until the rest of the day with repulsive sprays

v0.3 update

v0.3 is available from now on for people supporting my work on Patreon. Later on Milovana

Here are the details changes for v0.3 if you're interested:
Spoiler: show
Save men v0.3 - Patreon Exclusive Early Access

REWORKED BATTLE:
You will have many possibilities each turn:
-Standard hit: -10 HP to opponent with 20% chance for critical hit: -20 HP
-Seduce: 20% chance to succeed. Increase the loot if you win the battle

-Power hit: -10 HP (Power 1), -24 HP (Power 2), -42 HP (Power 3), -64 HP (Power 4), -90 HP (Power 5) and -120 HP (Power 6). Power hit resets your power. Careful opponent can also reset your power if they do a critical hit.

Some actions take Mood points:
-Heal: get +30 HP

-Zap: Same effect as dodge + reset special abilities
=> The Mood points cost of those actions is lower if your power is high

REWORKED REST
2 new ways to rest:
-Dating app: you browse a profile (over 90 profiles available, each with 5 pictures) and you get +1 hour, +20 HP, +2 Mood, +5 Sickness + ability to manage Desire

DESIRE
New variable.
You have 6 Desire:
-Desire for Asian
-Desire for Black
-Desire for Blonde
-Desire for Brunette
-Desire for ginger
-Desire for Latina
Sum of those is Total Desire.

When Total Desire > 50. It triggers a dream. You have an objective to seduce a girl and win against her. If you do, Mood increases to maximum instantly. Otherwise you get a desire penalty

Also having a Desire for Blonde (for example) up to 10 gives you 20% chance to seduce a Blonde during a battle. A desire for Blonde between 11 and 14 gives you 25% chance to seduce a Blonde during a battle. A desire for Blonde 15+ gives you 33% chance to seduce a Blonde during a battle. (Same for all Desires)

Hello, thanks for your feedback.

I am really sorry for the inconvenience (game has over 400 extended pages and over 100 variables (in v0.2) So it's a bit difficult to test every possibilities.

That have been solved normally. Thanks to the feature that saves your progression every night, you can now start again your play when you encounter troubles.

Happy playing!

Naughty regards!

Glad to see the continued work on this! Not sure why the rating is so low right now, hopefully it will stabilize and not discourage you. It definitely deserves better.

I was able to complete all the quests, though with the help of some big glitches. Some comments on this version:

- There seems to still be a possibility of crashing on the ginger fight, even after the fix you made. I hit this once.

- The boss fight quest line seems glitchy: I was able to fight the yoga teacher an infinite number of times and get the intel rewards each time, with the quest still ending up at 0/2 afterwards, somehow. Also, I was able to encounter Paula from the very start of the game, which didn't seem intended.

- I love the idea of the Paula boss fight, but was hoping she would have more moves/pics than just the one attack.

- I feel like there really are too many girls/events in the forest at this point to justify being fully random. Searching for the particular things you care about has become grindy/frustrating. Making it pseudo-random, or having more specific areas you can search to boost your odds of particular outcomes, would be a big improvement.

- There seems to be a major glitch with buying items. It seemed like almost every time I bought an item, I got 10 copies of it. I ended up with like 30 repellent sprays and 10 mushroom syrups very early in the game thanks to this.

The progress in v0.3 seems very exciting. Looking forward to the continued progress on this!

=> Maybe because of the different bugs? To be honest I don't know since people rate without giving me feedback so... (By the way maybe some of you are shy to post on forum, I read and answer private messages too :yes: )

=> I made some investigations, playing 10 times in a row this girl and I have got no crash. So I would need more details about the exact moment it crashes (like screenshot)

=> You can defeat yoga teacher an infinite number of times indeed. But you should get only once the intel for it. It has been fixed now
=> For the quest progress, it has been fixed from now on
=> For the boss, it supposes to unlock when the first stage of the quest has been completed. (with quest progress fixed, this will be fixed automatically)

=> Yeah I imagine those fast pics a bit like an hypnosis :-D
=> In v0.3 the battle has been fully reworked and girls have several attacks. (so i won't change v0.2 on that topic since it has already been fixed in v0.3)

=> That's a good point. I haven't found a satisfying way to implement that yet: zone or rush hours have some drawbacks as well. I am still thinking about a better solution

=> It should have been fixed. When you had 1 spray (or other items) and you bought 3 more instead of having 4 (1+3), you had 13. it's not the case now, it should be a little more expensive to avoid wild life

=> Yes like I said it's totally reworked so I'm excited too about it. Hope people will like it :-D

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks :-)

Note: I sent you a private message ;-) :whistle:

Hello,

I am very sorry for the answer delay.

Paula HP, contrary to other girls, isn't reset each time you meet her. It means if you leave her with 400 HP remaining, next time you meet her, she won't start from 530 HP but 400 :-)

It should take something like 4 meetings to defeat her. Many days ? I think it depends on how long you take to meet her (based on luck)
Note that it's supposed to be the last thing (beat the boss) to do in this version, that's why it lasts a little long. Note also that in next version all the fights have been reworked and Paula is no exception ;-)

hey! hey! hey!

Just a little update for Milovana users :-)

I haven't published on Milovana recently because I feel it's really difficult to have good rating despite hard work for an early project and I didn't want to be unmotivated. That's why I only published v0.3 on Patreon. And I am about to publish v0.4 later this week on Patreon :whistle:

v0.1/0.2 were the base of the game
v0.3 introduces a more interesting gameplay
v0.4 balances a lot of things, adds new features and a lot new contents

I don't forget Milovana players, I am really proud of the progress I made and I will release v0.4 later on Milovana as well :-D For those who wants to read more about the details of my progress and v0.4, everything you need to know is there: https://www.patreon.com/posts/66036937 (post accessible for everyone) Hope it will help you to wait

Naughty regards,

The Doctor
