So, although one of the main quests (and sources of hentai content) is rescuing various fallen members of Marigold's party, I also plan on implementing the ability to rescue fallen player characters. The first two members of Marigold's party are already in the game and can be saved, but until recently, you couldn't do anything with downed PCs except for gawk at them.
Well, now you can save them, as long as you have a Town Portal scroll.
Here, we have our unlucky test heroine downed by some kobolds just a few steps into the first level:
...and the standard conclusion seen in various pics I've posted over the development:
Now, we have a half-troll heroine come and kill the kobolds:
...and talk to the downed girl. Currently, she can only ask her who defeated her, and offer to help by giving her a Town Portal scroll:
I don't have her proper name in there, but that'll be added shortly. Anyway, hand her a portal scroll and she vanishes:
...and later, you'll be able to run into her in town, interact with her, etc.
Also added, I've got a miniboss who will have her minions drag you to her for the GoR if you're defeated by them. Along with that, I've addressed one of my long standing gripes about Roguelikes, which is in almost all of them, the enemy just waits for you to arrive. Now, humanoid enemies will occasionally go patrol the dungeon, which makes resting to heal/regen mana a little riskier than in most games, especially as you have a limited cone of view.

That looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSome questions: What kind of interactions can you have with the girls afterwards? Will their long-term status in town reflect how they were defeated (e.g. remaining as a werecreature, or becoming pregnant)? Once a heroine is rescued from the dungeon, can she ever become playable again?
Defeated heroines that are transformed into monsters will become hostile enemies. Rescued heroines will have some form of town interaction (and pregnancy would be a logical option, although the time scale might make things a little strange.)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't planned on making heroines replayable after rescue, but I might make them NPCs that can accompany you.
Wanted to pop in and say the art is looking much better. With maybe the exception of the elf's head on the right, I'm actually very impressed.
