Alternative to making the punishment for getting hit less severe: an "edging" mechanic.

Some bullet hells have a mechanic where putting your ship close to bullets gives you bonus points. In this case you could make it a "haha funny sex joke" by having it so that any time you stay close to a bullet without getting hit, you gain a little in the love meter.

1. Just by having the mechanic in place, regular play will give a little extra love, even if you're not trying to because people will get near-misses regardless.
2. There could be an achievement for filling the love meter without firing a shot, as well as doing so without dying, if the game needs more achievements.

Minor complaint: there's not much of a difference between no-hitting the level and maxing out the love meter. Unless you're pretty good at taking everything out and collecting the hearts, you've got one, maybe two hits before you've lost too many hearts and can't max her out.
I think maybe the punishment for getting hit should be reduced a little, just so that there's more of a difference between the no-hit and perfect achievements.

I swear I'm taking crazy pills, I could've sworn one of the Pokemon in the game or coming soon was belly-focused, but I looked through the gallery and there wasn't any.

Weird. I think I figured the Nidorina or the Eevee was belly focused, but I'm wrong.

IMO the wax seal bounty icons up there need a bit more contrast to see what they are (the color red compresses badly too, which doesn't help). Maybe some subtle light shine here and there? or just more contrast I guess.

Got curious about this, but the last update was a while ago and the Patreon only has one post (from back in November.)

Dunno if it's worth following. Is the dev at least active on Discord?

Kinda stinks the dev team's all on Bluesky (and 2/3 block guests from looking); everyone's got like 50 followers since Bsky's a borderline graveyard.

Does the dev team have other socials or art sites? Far as I can tell, only Dixie has one.

Bug: expanding the inflatable, then turning the xray off while it's growing causes some weird zooming graphical glitch.

EDIT: also, just toggling xray while the ball is big causes a weird graphical glitch.
(Playing in-browser, BTW)

At some point you just gotta set up a trial for this that stops people after a certain number of replies unless they sub or they feed some other AI into it, and simply NOT give it away for free; there's no reason to break the bank over an AI game.

I guess the game's development is at an...

...impasse.

Well I mean NOW you can complete the content in like 10 minutes, yeah.

Also yeah, gutting the shop prices is great. I honestly think it's objectively bad for early indev games to include grinding. Hole Dweller did the same thing, having everything in the shop be silly cheap for most of development until, like, the last couple months before the full release, as it meant players could do and see everything ASAP so they can provide feedback about different things quickly, rather than grind for 5 hours just to possibly find that [final character] is bugged during [scene].

God, I can only imagine some long RPG Maker games having the first few hours be super polished, followed by the remaining 30 hours of the game be buggy, unbalanced and unpolished as hell because not as many players got that far.

Dunno if anyone's reported it, or if it's a bug or not, but the santa hat seems to include the sheep's "hair" fluff with it in the background regardless of who wears it.

If I had to guess, it was like that before too, but since it was just the cow and the sheep, the cow's ears hid the hair and it wasn't clear that it was there until we got two new "mobs" to "piston".

Bug 2: growing the boobs doesn't seem to increase the hitbox of the girls' breasts, making them hard to grab.

Bug(?) 3: the lv3 autopiston doesn't work great with anal, giving weak thrusts that don't make as much money. Some of the thrusts don't even register as thrusts, giving no money at all.

Also, dunno if it's a bug or not, but it's pretty easy to shove things through the wall to be lost to the void.

Bug report: When hitting the diet button, the thighs don't shrink all the way down, they'll stop shrinking before the rest of the body does. The next time the character eats something, the thighs shrink to the "real" size that they should've shrunk to.

#1 most based way to paywall stuff is to lock the more incremental, smaller, buggier, less-polished updates behind the paywall, then only do public releases when you decide the game is stable and polished and ready for another update, having enough content to justify cleaning everything up. Downside to this method is that you need enough people to pay for access so they can help debug and playtest the game.

I remember a dev once that did it the other way around, the indev updates were the "demo", but the paid releases were the polished ones, and if one of the public updates had a game-breaking bug in it that makes the game literally unplayable, then too bad, gotta wait for the next public release, or winkwinknudgenudge buy it.

Suggestion: a way to lock-on to a specific hole if we need to, so it only thrusts in that one spot and we can just swing left and right and never miss.

It's not as bad as it was at the time I posted that comment. I wasn't kidding about the game giving about a fiftieth of a level per each very long fight, but that's not a relevant complaint anymore since the last time I played (about a week ago), it felt better in both fight length and XP gain.

Next time I get around to playing, I'll have to poke around and see what's balanced and what isn't.

God damn, are the EXP rates supposed to be this low? Feels off to have to spend like 5 minutes per bandit fight burping fifty times just to get roughly 1/50th of a level. Feels like I'm missing something somewhere.

Is there a way to rest at the inn or sleep somewhere to get stamina back, or do we just use the stamina potions for that?

Wrong game?

I can't GUARANTEE it's safe, but there's been a ton of false positives the last month or so, so it's probably nothing, but again, no clue, I can't guarantee if it's safe or not.

The screenshots and description don't really say, but is this another Suika game like the first one? I can't really tell since the screenshots show similar-sized eggs and some powerup stuff you normally don't see in these things.

(EDIT: disclaimer: I'm only asking because I hate this genre of games, I hate this "physics-based pseudo-RNG stuff" that entirely controls how far you get. Powerups are a nice way to combat the pure RNG of an unrefined physics engine, but eeeeeyuck, I've totally given up on Suika stuff as a whole, haha.)

I saw the "If you want some specific content to be added, just shoot me a text on Twitter or Itch" thing and all I could think about for some reason was something like having her body change based on CPU/GPU/RAM utilization for some reason, or making her fatter/skinnier based on how full your hard drive is, haha.

Either way, I guess suggestions probably don't matter, it doesn't look like this is getting any more updates in the future.

Can confirm, looks like the cork works on the online copy of the game, but doesn't work in the offline version. When trying to place the cork in, it doesn't "snap" into place like it does in the online copy, so it doesn't prevent farts. Looks like this is an issue with both characters, too?

PC, Windows 10, currently using Opera GX, even if I hate this browser, haha.

Make sure the cork isn't hidden under the Magikarp, they spawn in the same spot, ha.

After plugging the cork in, it seems to work for me, testing on the online version for both characters.

EDIT: Nope, doesn't work on the downloaded version.

Tried to figure out how the heck a male expansion game showed up in my feed, but I realize you're the Virtual Gainer dev and this is a collab, whoops, would've unfollowed if I hadn't remembered to check first.

EDIT: for clarity, just in case it needs it, I don't have an issue with male content, so long as it's in a male-only game so I know to avoid it, or a mixed game (with toggles) so I can see the female content.

Suggestion: maybe some new arrow visuals? Different styles of arrows to pick from for the button inputs?

I'mm'a be real, I'd totally suggest a bike pump or a set of bellows (maybe puffing with your mouth?), but straight-up air inflation is probably more niche than feral in some circles. I'm happy with the cumflation as-is (once it gets added to the new model, anyway.)

Yeah, toggles are best in lewd games.

At least in this game's case, any fetish would probably be "toggled" by simply not using the relevant toy or by picking/avoiding a chat option or something.

Bug report: if you get grabbed while you're looking at the map, you can't close the map during the sex scene, which is both annoying AND a softlock.

Saw the list of characters and assumed those were your options for who you'd get to fuck, turns out it's just this Benneq guy and the character list is who fucks him?

I'm honestly just confused why anyone would bother listing who the floating "wild fantasy dick" can possibly belong to, it's not like they're IN the game, they're just text boxes in the corner.

Is there another place to watch for more info on updates, like a Patreon or a Discord?

Or just here?

Random ideas:

• Some way to plug her to prevent her from emptying after inflation. (Pregplay when she's full?)
• More "stuff" out in the forest, maybe a couple secret toys (or the plug) that you can find stashed around? Really any reason to walk away and look around, I mean.
• Certain special poses if you go to certain spots on the map, like finding a particularly smooth penis-shaped rock she can ride, or vines she can get tangled up in to fit a BDSM vibe.
• The ability to have her follow you as you walk around.
• ...busty feral option, maybe? IDK, I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel, I really should be in bed by now, ha.
• Clothes/accessories?

Yeah, something's up with a lot of indie files in general the last month in particular, loads of false-positive virus scans mostly. I think Microsoft Defender's database must've had a stroke or something, and lots of indie games have been getting marked as viruses by a bunch of sources because of it.

Dunno if that's related, but still, crazy stuff.

Looks like the paid one here is out of date by a couple months. Is that intended?

Is it just me or is the inflation not working? I paid for the donation key too, and the settings don't seem to matter.

Yeah, same issue, the only room you can enter after the friends come over is the kitchen, softlocking us.

Also had a toy get stuck, one of the new remover toys. Could maybe use a "clean up" button that brings all loose items to a corner of the screen or something?

Basically the toy would stick a little out of the character's butt, but I can't grab it, grabbing the butt behind it instead.

Pulling multiple out at once would be okay if they didn't get all stuck together permanently because of it. Once they merge into one spot once, they're fused together forever. Grabbing one at a time works great now though.

Still no dates, made a quick recording of a few attempts to get it to trigger: 

Forgot to show what it does when I pick specific times, but eh.
