SPACESCAPE development Blog - URIELMANX7

IF YOU NEW HERE YOU PROBABLY WONDERING...

What is SpacEscape?

SpacEscape is a 2d, hentai-themed RoR metroidvania platformer developed in Adobe Flash using Action Script 2.0

So, obviously, you'll need to download the Adobe flash player from Adobe's site (which is free).
Also, it features an anthro main char (more human than animal), bestiality, tentacle, monsters and more.

RoR? What is RoR?

It means “Run or Rape”. It’s a rather common genre of hentai game nowadays;

it's particular for the idea that the sex content occurs within the gameplay, usually in 

the form of animations, as opposed to being shown exclusively within CGs or cutscenes. 

So, to put it shortly, you just stumbled upon the development blog of my little game.

Updates will come as often as once per week and as slow as once per month. The 

game is FREE for now, will be put on sale once finished. Current builds of the 

game are essentially an open Beta of what the demo for the final version will look like.

This is, and will always be the main source of updates on the game progress, as well as

where all the official betas will be posted. Though I do pass by the ULMF forum or LoK, so if you don't feel 

or can't post on blogger, you can go there, I'll get to your comment sooner or later.

Aside from that, no other places to go, I don't have a Patreon, and won't have one(at least not a regular one for donations and then I give you content type);  also 

donations would be very appreciated...If not for the fact that I DON'T ACCEPT DONATIONS 

(at least for now, if I'm ever in danger to go hobo you bet your ass I'll be making one and working full time on the game(s))I appreciate the feeling, but you don't need to.

So, where to download?

The link for the latest version will be always on the right bar mah boy, just follow the yellow road

Frisky Night at Franie's V0.05

 It's been a while since I put this on the patron chat in discord, so it's time to put it publicly.

All the bugs in this one have been fixed, and will be ready on the next version that will be put first in the patron discord channel, for now, I think 2 weeks is enough exclusivity time, as the game is fairly small, once this gets bigger, the time will increase, you know, gotta give some tangible perks to patrons.

Right now I'm in the middle of adapting the code for multiple robutts, so far I just made it for the one, good´ld just make it work first, improve later thing. Once I have 2 functional robutts, I'll launch the itch.io page, and then I'll go back to work on my other stuff jumping from project to project to keep me from burn out, yes, that includes spacEscape. I kinda have to, anyways, Godot 4 dropped a few days ago, and it's pretty much a new engine, so I'll use the projects I hadn't started yet, to learn the new changes, since eventually I'll be making SpacEsape remake in godot 4, so; and finish this fnaf thing and chibiSE in godot 3.5, since converting them to 4 is not worth at all.

Ok, so back to the fnaf thing, link is updated on it's page (Blogger keeps warning me the page was put behind a warning message because of sensitive content, I don't know what's the big deal, the whole blog is like that, but ok), or in the side bar to the right. Here is the known issues (that are already fixed in the next version):

- Power down being weird (being looked at) - Nights continue regardless of being a demo (On purpose, the game does get "harder" as the night increases so I thought no harm in leaving it) - Soft lock if you get caught while camera is up (Patched code, need test to see if I fixed it) - Sex not seen if you aren't looking at the right door (Need testing, I have code in place to make the camera look towards the sex door, but)

Also, changelog is on the game itself.

See ya.

First steps

I nearly have all the assets necessary to start coding the basic behavior, the looking around the office, and the cameras. I think I'll start slow, first just the 4 closets cameras, outside the doors, and the hallways. But I need to think also how am I gonna structure the things, like what will be it's own scene, the camera views, the sexatronic animations, etc.

 I decided to go for a "tunnel vision" setup, moving the mouse won't pan the camera to see the side doors, instead when you drag over the side arrows, the view will change to each of the doors, I'm still thinking on whether or not to disable the lower buttons while looking at the doors. 

 Speaking of which, one button is for cameras as usual, the other is for looking below your desk, I liked this idea someone told me, of a robutt sneaking in and trying to give you a quickie; so you check down there, and if there's a robutt, you flashbang her to make her leave (or not, if you want).

And, for those who had no idea about all of this (which I've been working non stop for like the past 2 weeks), here are some designs of the characters and sample animations.

 The other day I was browsing itch.io, looking for games to play, and stumbled upon one of them FNaF hentai games. So I went and tried it, thought it was ok, but then I went into the rabbit's hole and ended up trying like I'm pretty sure every FNaF hentai game known to man, and after being thoroughly disappointed by all of them (my stupid bar is too damn high I can't enjoy nothing no more), I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own to my liking.

It's been quite a ride, a looong time since I last felt like this, so I'm riding the wind and see how far do I get. And noooo, I'm not droping you-know-what, but as I've said, as long as I'm feeling this motivated, I'll focus on this one.

 You can check it here: https://urielmanx7.blogspot.com/p/frisky-night-at-frannies.html 

Or go in to OTHER GAMES section at the top menu of the blog, or get right to the lastest build by going to the right section.

If you wanna keep a closer eye on this, you know where to go. (discord, duh)

One asset I have a sneaking suspicion I'll need a lot going forward.

UrielManX7 — 11/16/2022 7:04 PM

Goddammit. The gallery was sorta working and now it broke again. All because of trying to whip something for the slime as kind of compensation for taking it out temporarily until I've made the necessary animations to fit the new grab to sex flow.

UrielManX7 — 11/17/2022 4:22 PM

Ok, gallery is working now. Just need to tight a few loose ends with moans and sounds not playing.

Welp, I did it again, got me into one of my patented lazy streaks, so close to finishing the current work load. So, here, to buy me some time, have some backstage shit. Some mock ups I made forever ago in last stream; to start setting up the slime for the grab states like the wolf has; still don't know if I'll use these. For a reminder, this is how the grab into sex flow looks like:

Initial grab (AKA Grab phase)
  - Grab loop
    - Grab Idle (normal, turned, horny)
    - Grab Struggle
      - Normal (Trying to get out)
      - Charm (Get into sex ASAP to minimize dmg)
Sex phase
  - Sex (normal, turned, horny)
  - Cum
Release

Ok, I finally touched the game today. I wanted yesterday, but I didn't had time, I was prepping for hanging out with my friends for the first time after plague,Inc IRL started. But anyways, first task was to remember what the hell was I doing last time; which was figuring out why the save wasn't working all of a sudden. And I found the culprit, code line order. See, back in flash I don't know if this was an issue also, since when I updated the save/load code, I just copy the save section onto the load section, and invert the sentences, like in save it would say

 SaveFile = varialbe

so in load I just inverted it to

variable = SaveFile

, so if the order was an issue there, I never knew. But it sure is here in godot, you have to load the values in the exact same order you saved them in, otherwise you get the values all scrambled and get sent to the shadow realm (Btw, anyone playing Master Duel? send me an invite -981-677-184). One way to avoid having to be very careful in the order of the code, is to put all variables involved into a dictionary; which is a type of array that has labels for each value, so it's very user friendly. I actually use dictionaries to store the stats of enemies and special shoots, issue is, if I'm to do that for all variables that need to be save/loaded, I need to go through every single script and change every instance; which in hindsight, I should probbly do now that the code is relatively small. But the more important part, is the lesson I've learned for when I start the remake.

Which brings me to my next point. I was thinking the other day, I should at least go and create the project file for SpacEscape remake, so I can start throwing in there (a blank script) all the bits and tips I'm learning, because it would be stoopid to trust my memory. And then I though "What should I call it, actually?", like, do I literally name it SpacEscap: Remake? Or just SpacEscape? nd let ppl get confused which version they are referring to?

UrielManX7 — Today at 7:59 PM

Started doing test runs now that supposedly everything is ready. Current status: Battling bugs.

1. UrielManX7 — 07/23/2022

   Successfully coded the skip functionality in the credits screen. Can't show you because I don't want to spoil the credits. Next is adding a save prompt to save cleared game data after it.

   UrielManX7 — 07/25/2022

   I was just thinking... After the credits and before saving, should it be an option to save or not, or it just should save regardless?

   Ok. First test for the door that requires enemies captured was a success. Now on to make the necessary HUD modifications and try with more requirements. Also make the pens room to update too.

   Working on the pens now, making it able for you to have sepsy sex with the wolfies as much as you want without losing hp, and perhaps have a new anim in there. My goal is to have a button prompt when you approach them, telling you what options are available, and then you do what you want; and possibly the options change depending on chibi's condition. Also the doors that require a certain amount of enemies are done, but now I realized I'll need a metric ton of variables for each enemie so it knows not to spawn after being captured, otherwise you can just farm by exiting and re entering a room.

   UrielManX7 — 08/27/2022

   Man, so long without touching the game, I already forgot what I was working on last. Anyway Quick question: Do you guys find it annoying to have to crouch shoot in order to hit the wolfies and slimes? Also, I'm thinking on releasing a pre-release version or whatever for patrons, with whatever mess I have right now. I wanted to do that anyways, updating this version like every week or so, as long as I did something worth updating it, of course, between regular releases. I planned to start doing that after I finished this current work load, but there's no end in sight, so I might as well do it now.
7. [9:45 PM]

   On another note. I was doing some simulation in mah brain on how the game would play with the capture requirement, and I realized that it makes no sense that chibi has to capture x amount of creatures in order to escape, if the creatures are back in horny jail then what's the need for escaping? Then I thought that instead of capturing, she's collecting dna (which also plays nicely with the fact that if you beat an enemy or it fucks you, you got the dna sample regardless) , in a "cut your losses" scenario, since everything went to shit, then it makes sense whoever or whatever locks her in, until she has the goods to let her escape. Then I can add a little cutscene of the station blowing up after she escapes, although that would make me feel kinda bad to kill the wolfies ;V On the other hand, that would be the perfect omage to Super Metroid's "save the frames or save the animals" thing.

   UrielManX7 — 09/05/2022

   What I'm working struggling with currently. Some things to note: This room will double as your check for progress on the enemies you've captured and the gallery, which reminds me that I still need to add the mechanic of unlocking it after beating the game once. Maybe I'll have it like in the old game that you have to capture a certain number of the same enemy to unlock its animations, but I'm getting ahead of myself. First, alongside the pad UP animation, the text "CUDDLE" should also appear, I have no idea why yet. I ultimately want that on the first UP press, chibi will stay petting wolfie, and then another prompt will show you what options you have for positions, and then you go from there, but I still need why the first prompt doesn't show text before thinking on anymore prompts. You obviously not receive any dmg, so you can sex to your heart's content. Although I'm still unsure if you should get arousal dmg. The doors that lock you until you capture X amount of creatures work, but I haven't fully integrated that into the game yet. I'm also thinking about which game goal will lock what part, like the capturing enemies and the progress door, maybe one is just to beat the game, and the other is for extra stuff, or maybe I'll scrap the progression doors. https://vimeo.com/746726541

    Ok, captured enemies door works. And the UI asset to keep track also updates real time. Also I set a basic detection for gamepad, so now the prompts in the game can know if you're using a switch, xbox or ps controller. Although it's gonna be a bitch to update that once custom controls are live, specially for keyboard, I'll have to come up with a way so the code can figure on its own which sprite to use to match whatever key was bound to an action.
11. [10:20 PM]

    Next I need to make it so enemies log their data when captured so they don't keep respawning after leaving and re entering an area; but I think I'll leave that on the back burner at least for now, better finish the gallery and clean up so I can update the game with the new build already.

    Fucking finally got the side screen transitions working. I was tripping over my own logic for the last few days. I was getting sick of having only doors in the background to move to another areas, so this will make the whole thing more connected and big. Although later I'll have to tackle the issue of preserving the player's state/motion through screens. But enough of that, now I really will finish the gallery function, then add that it gets unlocked on game beat, ensure it saves, and then I'll upload a pre-release for testing.
