In this game you play as a ex-boxer starting work as a boxing coach in the local gym after the previous coach went missing. You start to notice strange things happening when the gym closes and must find the cause. The main focus of the game is exploration with a few battles throughout the game. The sex is mainly straight with some lesbian and threesomes.


Hello, I've just release the new version of The boxer today adding 6 new scenes as well as continuing the story. I hope you all enjoy it.

I can't figure how to drink coffee or apply for the job at the gym. When I talk to the receptionist she just says hi

Played the game. Will we be able to gain experience and money eventually?


Couple of bugs.


The doors act that your entering a different map (screen briefly fades to black and door opening sound) rather than being part of the same map. Does get annoying.


Victoria continues to ask about shower quest on first day even though I've already completed it.


Entering an area while holding 'Shift' can skip text.


Cannot enter the basement as it keeps saying I need to do Zoey's training even though I've trained her.

Thanks for spotting the bugs, the door's are just a quick fix as they didn't work at all but I will be fixing that. As for experience and money I did have the idea of adding in a tournament style system but as the game is so I can learn my way around the software and stuff. I didn't want to make a big game as I do have a lot of idea's built up for a larger game if that makes sense.

Sorry for that I've been really busy at work lately and just completely forgot to upload the fixed version. I've released a new version of the game and all the doors are working properly now.

Congrats on releasing your game.... what is it actually about though? is it an RPG? A fighting game? an MMO?


Is it hetrosexual porn? gay porn? are we looking at certain themes like BDSM?


I guess maybe the images could have helped make me have an inkling of an idea of what this game is about, but the images are all dead links. So you might want to update the first post with a description ofsome sort.

And do you need rpgmaker or at least the rtp in order to play it?

I've added a small description to the original post, don't know why I deleted the original one. The images work if you right click and open in new tab don't know why they don't load on here, could be the image host.

And do you need rpgmaker or at least the rtp in order to play it?

As Muttdoggy said you need the RPG maxer VX Ace run time package.


And thanks Muttdoggy for answering their question.

Tried playing it again, got about halfway through and then the game suddenly decided to reset itself as if it was the first time i'd gone to the gym...very strange...

Seconded.. just happened during day 2. Also, when I went to the front door to go to Paul's apartment after talking to the receptionist, the right side of the door was like day one prompt but by going on the left side of the door, I was able to go to paul's apartment as normal. Then as I began day 3, it was looping back to day 1 morning or night day 2 depending on dialogs and quests. I was able to keep repeating the shower scene that way.

Well, I seem to have completed what's there so far without hitting any game breaking bugs.  Come to think of it, I rarely come across any major bugs in games.  Maybe that's my super power.  Anyway, some pros and cons of what I've seen.


Pros:

  • The CG characters are actually rather attractive.  And while I'm not attracted to men, especially not muscular men, I didn't feel completely disgusted looking at them.  Getting one character to not look like a monster in CG is usually a challenge.  Getting all characters of both sexes to actually be fairly attractive is a massive accomplishment.
  • Using shift to speed through text is often necessary for dealing with repetitive dialog but rarely used.  It's nice having the feature here.

Cons:

  • The game so far is extremely short and contained for an RPGMaker game.  It also lacks other basic RPG elements like experience gain, equipment, and money.  I'm not sure you're using the right engine to build your game. (Not saying you have to switch, just that you're neither making full use of the engine nor your story with RPGMaker)
  • With no indication of what attack enemies are prepared for there's no way to determine what skill to use.  This kind of ruins the boxing mechanic you've put into the fight system, as there should not only be a way to identify which attacks won't work but also a way to determine which attacks will be super effective on an opponents current position.
  • The quests seem to be very buggy.  While not game breaking, the quests seemed to show up in the menu before being activated.  They didn't always register when certain actions were performed, leaving the quest active even after being completed.  And the shower quest can be reactivated by talking to Victoria, which may be a sign that other quests can also be reactivated by talking to the wrong person.
  • It's too easy to accidentally skip dialog you're not expecting.  With multiple characters that can't be interacted with and dialog showing up at doors I missed close to half the text boxes while playing.  It should be possible to prevent text skipping from happening unless the Shift key is pressed after text boxes show up.  Granted, that's based on my memory of other RPGMaker games I've played, not programming experience because i have almost none.  So if it can't be done or is much harder than I'm thinking feel free to tell me to shut up.

Overall it's decent fap material, and I'm curious to see where it goes.  But it still feels a little too early in development to give a definitive judgement.  I'll probably wait until version 0.8 or so before trying it again.

That is strange I will definitely look into this thanks for reporting it.

Hi I really appreciate you taking the time to try the game and your comments.


The game is intended to be so I could learn my way around the software and some experience before jumping into a bigger game. I did have the idea of adding and underground fighting club where you would gain exp but felt it added much to the story, although I am tempted to add it in and have it so you earn bonus scenes for people who want more battles.


I'll fully admit I need to work on the combat system a lot more.


I removed the skip dialog function for now until I can figure out how to change the input key.

In regards to enemy attacks there, as far as I can tell certain enemies have a preference for certain attacks. so just find the "best" attack against them and spam them for an easy reliable takedown


Quests are indeed very bugged at the moment.


And it is indeed very easy to slip past dialog you aren't expecting with the same button (shift) being used contextually to either skip dialog or move faster than a snail. I prefer games that use always run anyways
