Is the closure of public submission final?

[Punccline]

What about characters who remained underdeveloped like the Elf Boy or the Kitsune Scouts?

Sav mentioned previously in the thread that the release version of the game may prune clearly half baked/unfinished characters, with an option to enable them in the settings like Skyrim's "Cutting Room Floor" mod.

Elf boy may or may not fall into that category. Kinda subjective, but I turn him off every playthrough and I'm not sure that anyone would notice he's gone.

Kitsune Scouts I think are fine, tbh. Assuming you're talking about Hinata/Kiri/Yuzu, they seem to mainly be introduction/setup to the Kitsune Den.

It seems writers who have already gotten content in the game can write for them if they want.

elf boy probably cutting board mode, kitsune scouts already integrated into the start of floof house stuff so I doubt they'll get cut, even if they are limited.

 

[CboyC95]

Does that mean Lessala's adventurers will be cut too?

 

[Savin]

Does that mean Lessala's adventurers will be cut too?

no they're feature complete

 

[Bast]

Damn. And I always kept wondering if we'll ever meet the other adventuring party again.

 

[LeDoraggo]

They all met their ends by the most powerful character of the game: Off D. Screen

FWIW the intention for our Next Big Game is that combat encounters don't have sex (at least as an expectation; there'd still be situations where it's appropriate, but those would be the exception) and that there's dramatically fewer sexable NPCs overall, but each NPC is much more developed; probably 1 per staff writer per Region, but using someone like Hana or Varena as the standard for how content-rich I'd like them each to be.

Hopefully that will result in a good balance between speed of development and still having a LOT of meat for everyone to chew on (and a lot less characters feeling like hollow filler in an area) in both the smut and gameplay departments.

So less of a smut game and more a game with smut? Sounds interesting.

Yes

Will it be earlier, later or concurrent in the timeline?

 

[Savin]

I really wouldn't say that, any more than CoC2 is anyway, just with different flavored smut. Going for depth rather than breadth.

Later.

Later.

Thank you for you answer.

One more question: Will we be able to import our old character for some (minor) Flags?
In the way to have some nice historical notes about the one who stopped the industrial revolution an evil demon and is the ancestor about half of the north?

Either way, while it will be a while, I do look a bit forward to it!

 

[Savin]

Will we be able to import our old character for some (minor) Flags?

No. Importing a save from another IP entirely and quite probably a different code language would be a little wonky.

If anything about CoC2 needs to be established, we'll have NPCs ask you questions of what you know/have heard about such-and-such.

Decent solution, thank you again for the information.

 

[Syn]

what's actually incomplete about her?

I don't remember like anything about her.


Yeah we're in the last act now. And there's a MASSIVE backlog of submissions in the review queue; more than enough to last us the rest of development if they all get accepted (which, to be clear, they won't) -- and we also have several full-time writers working on their own stuff too.


I think what's likely to happen is that we'll make a [Cutting Room Floor] mode (turned "off" -- ie the content is hidden -- by default) that all the shit that doesn't meet standards gets shoved into. So it'll still be there if you really want it, but it'll clear up the experience by a lot for the vast majority of players.

We can (if necessary) then add [Remove Content] buttons on top of that for encounters so you can tailor the experience a bit more if you choose to play with that mode on.

Are there any plans for post-last act additions (community submissions or otherwise) to shore up existing characters or are yall considering a 1.0 release then wrapping the project up?

 

[Savin]

or are yall considering a 1.0 release then wrapping the project up?

Pretty much this.

We'll do post-1.0 patches for bugfixes but that'll hopefully be where new content ends. The only exception would be clearing out anything that's still in the community submissions queue that somehow still hasn't gotten reviewed, but I really want to avoid that eventuality (hence closing the queue now, many months in advance).

Out of couristy what do you mean by depth rather than breadth?

Edit: And any ideas or plans on what the next game will have smut wise? Are we going to have another swing at corruption or transformation content? Impregnation?

 

[TheShepard256]

According to what Savin's said before (some of which was in this very thread, probably), unless stated otherwise:

Out of couristy what do you mean by depth rather than breadth?

Instead of having lots of potential partners with a handful of options each, you'll have relatively few partners with loads of content each - likely on par with most companions or major NPCs in CoC2. Included with that is that post-combat sex with enemies isn't going to be the standard.

Are we going to have another swing at corruption or transformation content? Impregnation?

Transformation is a definite no, since so few people actually play for the TF fetish; all physical appearance options will be available during character creation only. (Everything from this point on is my speculation.) Corruption, I don't think is likely, since relatively few authors have supported corruption content historically, which is the same reason non-bipeds and tail-genitals were axed for CoC2. Impregnation/pregnancy, on the other hand, is pretty much a guarantee due to how popular it is with players.

 

[Savin]

Out of couristy what do you mean by depth rather than breadth?

I mean, while there'll be fewer overall characters with sex scenes, each of those characters that do will have much more content. More scenes, and more relationship building, with each romance option.

Are we going to have another swing at corruption or transformation content? Impregnation?

No corruption or transformation. Yes impregnation.

Preg, Futa, and Dom/Sub (in no particular order) will be the three big pillars the game's based around. Most every character will touch on at least one.

 

[Lostname475]

Any chance of some more bondage content than coc2 has?

 

[Savin]

Any chance of some more bondage content than coc2 has?

Not likely. Not an area of interest to anyone on staff.

 

[IraMorti]

On the new game will the Seven play any big role like they do in CoC2, like champion content? Potentially the ones that weren't used as such in CoC2 and don't really transform their champions. I doubt Verun, Tira, and Mallach would have transformatives like Keros, Lumia and Nareva... I feel like Sorra would transform their Champions, so probably off the table?
