Apocamorphosis

I wanted to introduce a free game I’m developing called, “Apocamorphosis”

RPG/ Adult/ Text Adventure/ Fantasy

Synopsis: The manifestation of hatred, lust and corruption has spread across the entire planet like a plague; erasing memories, twisting identities and mutating every living organism in it’s path. As the last of the free races band together to hold this entity from invading northern Auvora, frightened refugees flee to the southwest for safety…

If it’s okay to post it or at least a link then let me know and I’ll do so :slight_smile:

Absolutely! You probably want to do a link if you’ve got it up at the Quest site, because people with non-WIndows computers can’t play Quest games offline (I think).

Most people are fine so long as adult content (and any other possible trigger such as violence to animals or sexual violence) is plainly forewarned before the game so they can avoid it if necessary. Even better if there’s a way to turn it off or adjust it.

I’ll try to take a look at it - I’ve not had access to a PC until recently so I should try and download one of those to see how it works.

I had to go into the Quest works-in-progress forum to find a link to try it. I’d include it here but didn’t want to override what the author wants.

I’m not in any manner offended by sexuality in games (having written AIF myself before), but this character creation isn’t promising when I’m asked “How big are dem hips” and I can choose a character (among “warrior” “tank” and “packrat” of “bimbo” “brood-mother” “stripperesque” and “male model” which is branded in the description as “sissy”.

I have a stat for lip thickness?

Without even getting into the game proper, you’ve already set up some potentially troublesome gender and sexuality stereotypes which are going to turn a lot of people off. It’s clear that some of these are intended to be female only “bimbo” has “platinum blonde hair and curves”, “brood mother” has “already had children and your hips are testament to this fact.”

The descriptions of “Warrior at Heart” and “Badass Tank” have a couple little quirks written in, but are not nearly so prickly offensive as male model: “Benefits: You intelligence has a -4 detriment, your defense has a -3 detriment and +5 strength benefit. You also start with long black hair, a bubble butt and average hips.”

I can infer you’re going for a bawdy romp sort of in the vein of the more recent “The Bard’s Tale” and “The Book of Unwritten Tales”, but it’s possible to do this type of thing without resorting to blatantly offensive stereotypes.

“Stripperesque” could be “Gymnast” and “Bimbo” could be “Seduction Artist” and both open to males. “Brood Mother” offers you wider hips and a nice ass and a shorter gestation time? Why would anyone pick that? If there’s a childbearing element in the game, you could rename it “Explosively Fertile” and have it apply to men as well. You could wrap “male model” into “seduction artist” and avoid the implication that every good-looking man is “sissy”.

I only bring all this up because I haven’t even gotten into the game and I’m already at a loss. My usual choice in games like this is to roleplay the smooth-talking male with high charisma and talk my way through combat, but you’ve made that option unattractive by over-defining your idea of it. Similarly, I think women will have the same reaction to some of the other categories with negative implications because it pigeon-holes them into a stereotype that “Warrior” “Tank” “Big Saver” “Pack Rat” and “Fashionable” do not.

I guess what I’m saying is show some respect to your archetypes, and the player will feel respected by proxy, no matter what mischief they can get up to in the game.

Yup! It actually will change affection ratings on some NPC’s later on. Some of them have preferences that you have to meet if you want to gain their affection/attention.

I appreciate your feedback! I actually already fixed a lot of those problems for the next update xD But I’m glad you brought them up anyway. You also offered some very nice suggestions, which I also appreciate! With that said, that’s why I haven’t posted any links to the game yet, I figured I would have just waited until the next update on 29JUN16. Perhaps I should have just waited to mention the game until then as well! I was just curious to see if anyone would be interested in seeing it.

Was there anything you did like?

Thank you for not going over my helmet! :stuck_out_tongue: (Spaceballs). I’m actually going to post the link on the date listed above because it will be the newest version :slight_smile:

Understandable. The “adult” content is actually very avoidable in my game. Two of the personalities have it, the other two don’t, and I have an 18 disclaimer in the beginning of the newest update coming out soon :slight_smile: thank you!

Yup! Figured I’d do both. The blog for the game has links to both the online version and a downloaded version :smiley:

Having mentioned all that, I will still be very happy to answer any questions about the game that you guys might have before and after the update. Don’t be shy!

It seemed like there was no way to progress after character creation. Perhaps I missed a link. I could type stuff but it took me nowhere.

I am not entirely fond of straightforward “Choose a height” “Choose an eye color” sort of character creation. If you can put it somehow into narrative, it’s a little more fun. I don’t know what your inciting plot is, but if you can perhaps have something like the player getting dressed and let them select appropriate clothing

Hm. Maybe an error occurred or something. One the character creator is finished, it should have taken you to the Dreamscape, which has like the Chapter 1introduction and a few helpful “Command” tips like how to look at yourself, etc.

Hilariously enough, I already did that. I didn’t like the basic questions and already rewrote a lot of the basic character creation introduction so that it also introduces you to some background as well. But again, great suggestion!

^— this however would be a little tougher to do since in my particular creator isn’t really set up that way and the player doesn’t start in a house or a village. But I like the idea. Maybe I can try something like that later on when you actually get to a town or something. Thank you for the feedback. If you have any questions lemme know!

Oh, and that’s the other thing - spreading out character building so it occurs naturally during the beginning of the game is better than an SAT quiz dump style interrogation before anything happens. Lynnea Glasser did it really well in Creatures Such as We where the player doesn’t choose their attributes until they become relevant.

Loved that game/story. One of the best they’ve done in my opinion. But yes, I totally agree it’s better when it’s more natural. Perhaps once I have time I can completely overhaul the creation process but for now I integrated the choices into a mini-background story to make it seem a little more natural and I like it a lot better than what I had in the version you have played. I hope you enjoy the new creator when the game gets updated. I would love your opinion on it if you wouldn’t mind.

Also, I guess I can let you know what I had done before you left that earlier post about the archetypes. :slight_smile:

I had already changed:

“bimbo” to “escort” — with changes to how that speciality is presented. Changed stats.
“stripper-esque” to “dancer” — with minor changes to how that speciality is presented.
“male model” to “suave” — with changes to how that speciality is presented. Changed Stats.
“brood mother” to “maternal” — with minor changes to how that speciality is presented.

I did that because I wanted the choices for the specialities to be more dynamic and not just a coat of paint between gender choices, but I think you made a good point as well about some of them being a little sexist or uncomfortable, so I’m glad we were on the same page about that. It’s nice to know that a spur of the moment decision to change them when I did was the right decision.

Let me know when it’s updated.

No problem. I would like everyone else’s opinions as well! A little criticism and constructive criticism never hurt anyone :slight_smile:
