Yup, the Beta is up!
If you donated for the Beta you should've received an email with instructions of how to gain access!
What to expect: The entirety of the farm's been designed all thanks to our resident genius Veins. Right now you can play about half of the farm, and although some things are not perfect, you can still enjoy some good platforming and some yummy mushroom soup... I mean sex! All that's really left is for me to program the second half of the farm as some minor details need to be added or corrected. During that time, Veins will work on more MoGi and level designs. Btw, there's finally some plot now yay! We threw in some extra things as well... but enough with the spoilers!
Since most of the playable characters have been programmed and a lot of stuff's been designed we're getting back into the meat of things... yum.... meat... but if you're a vegetarian there's plenty of pumpkins and mushrooms to feed an entire army! Now stop drooling and enjoy your meal as we get back to work on more MoGi!
EDIT:If you haven't done it yet, you should check your OffBeatr account if you pledged.
Holy sweet jesus! gl & hf for those who purchase beta. :)
ReplyDeleteAre there going to be some MoGi's that are annoying to fight? For example, attacks that need to be dodge or else you'll die, or MoGi's with fast movement and attacks.
ReplyDeleteBasically are there going to be enemy archetypes? that require a certain form of strategy to beat? From the boss' only i guess that must happen. With the other mogi it would be cool, i suppose you could make the game a degree of challenging that way :D
DeleteVongola: I doubt that any MoGi would will you instantly. All MoGi would need some kind of strategy (depending on the environment too)but if they are annoying or not that's a matter of opinion. Some advanced MoGi will have fast movement and attacks but we will try to balance pretty much everything, according to our testings and the feedback we get. If an enemy runs for example, it will only need 1 hit to die.
DeleteHerby: I'm not sure what you mean by "archetypes". If by "strategy" you mean things like "I have to crouch in order to hit" then yes. The enemies would be pretty much generic as with any 2D platform game. Their combination is what would be challenging. You can get a taste of that in the current Beta.
Yeah sorry, Strategy isn't the quite correct word, i mean't method. So a mogi can only be damaged when you hit on its back etc. But if the combination of different enemies forces a different way to tackle them, that is pretty much the same thing. Archetypes is just to describe different behaviour or types. That they act different due to what they are programmed to do. Sorry i used the term from the assassins creed games so like the "Archer" or "Brute"
DeleteWell... hmm... we do have an internal way of separating the MoGi into diff groups. We group them according to their range of attack which leads to their difficulty. In that sense, we do have "Archers" and "Brutes". To be more precise, we have "short range", "mid range" and "long range" attacks.
DeleteThat's good to know. I like a challenge =). I brought this up because of a game I play called "Dungeon Fighter Online," where some dungeons have enemies with much more complex attack patterns and gimmicks to them.
DeleteUm.. talking about Neko in some other comment, I just remembered.. she should cause a lot of damage when she hits Voms. Also, RockGirl MoGi should have more life and less recovery time than other MoGi. So, here's some differences between their species at the top of my head.
DeleteI shouldn't have asked this question and sorry. All games have enemies that require a strategy to defeat them.
DeleteI can't wait to get back from work and test it :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say though the Beta frustrated me in one area. The part with the water hazard and the small platforms littered with mogi. It's all fine and all but the knock back from their attacks send me flying right into the water hazard without a chance to get onto the platform. Unless you can make the platforms larger that bit was a tad annoying so i gave up on it entirely. Since the last save i could find was all the way back where you meet the bearded farmer.
ReplyDeleteYes, that knock back is something to consider, although it is somewhat realistic. But it doesn't really knock you back too far and that was about the end of the beta anyways. I doubt that the farms will have so many MoGi in the final version. Btw, you can save again and again on the Farmer's warehouse. That should help a bit.
DeleteHearing the "cum" SFX as Voms falls into the water is kinda funny though. The entire water must be a MoGi!
DeleteIt wasn't anything to do with level progression i have to say, just for a collectible so it wasn't making the beta unplayable or anything quite as bad. But yeah having Voms "ejaculate" in water was funny at first but annoying after the 6th time :L Feel free to make the game hard though. (not that the beta was easy)
Deletehmmm is it possible to donate now and still receive the beta? Or is it too late?
ReplyDeleteyes anyone who donates can still get the Beta access and/or a copy of the Game once it's completed.
DeleteIs there a certain amount that has to be donated to receive beta? like anything above $1?
Deleteif you haven't paid for the game, the beta costs $30 but you also receive the complete game as well.
Deleteif you have paid for the game, the beta costs $18
If you have pledged for 2 rewards in Offbeatr that both include the game, then the beta costs $0, just give us your Offbeatr nickname to check you out.
The beta access is the the game in pre-released stages, as it is being made, so there are going to be several beta releases. If you pay once, you will have access to all of these releases.
For some reason, I'm unable to actually get out of the docks. I've tried wiping all the data - save and gallery - but even when I do that, the door past the guard is always said to still be locked by Voms.
ReplyDeleteOr is the door to the Farm a different one then the one with the 2 on it that is past him?
Go left from the security guard until you find a door without a number; that's the farm entrance. I'm guessing the numbers represent various security levels you'll need access cards for.
DeleteOh. Well. That's kinda awkward.
DeleteLooking at the Gallery, it seems the Pumpkin Girl and the Mushroom Girls should have H-scenes, right? Because I can't seem to find out how you'd get the Mushroom Girls to work. They won't throw fruit if you're close to them, and they don't have a melee attack. Being hit by their fruit from range just knocks you down until you hit any button, then you 'heal' as normal.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll increase Amanita's grab range.
DeleteHow much of a donation is needed for access to the beta? Or is it as much as you can spare? :)
ReplyDelete$30
DeleteI just finshed playing, and I'm happy with what I saw and I'm looking forward to see more.
ReplyDeleteI like amanita, however, I think it would be better if her projectil could be stoped by obstacles, I also agree the knockback is a bit too big when you are near the water and often lead to death.
Also there is one time, I was shoot by amanita and landed near pumpkin and it's pumpkin that raped me, is it a bug or mogi cooperation ? :D
Finaly I have a quesiton, are all the collectible collectable ? I was only able to get the first row.
I want to thank you veins and titan for your great work :)
MoGi cooperation.
DeleteNo, not all the collectibles are collectable yet. More to come soon... You should actually still be able to use the same savedata though.
Thanks! I'm glad that the Beta is well received!
DeleteActually I don't know where Titan hid the collectibles... I only found the top row as well! I don't think there are any more tho.
The river level is harder than it should, but that's only because it's a beta version. That level should be easier in the final version but we wanted to give you something to fool around while we build the rest of the levels.
I'd like to hear more about the game from everyone. What you like, what you don't like... personally I even found a couple of funny glitches! So yeah, give us your feedback!
Thanks for mentioning that! It's one of those little extra things we added to keep the fanbase happy (we want to avoid another nipple-war!) xD
DeleteWow, thats great of you guys. I was worried about that too, its good you thought about it and implemented it. Good going!
DeleteI am looking forward to more nipples! >:D
after the farmer got attacked waht to do? and where must i go?o.O
ReplyDeleteTry to find something that would open the Farm door. It's something you learn in the Docks tutorial.
DeleteOnly a few things I noticed from the Beta, one which some people brought up already, that Amanita's attacks are funky; she won't attack if you're close, so to get the scene to work, I had to be far enough away so she would throw, whatever that is, and walk towards it when it's a lethal hit.
ReplyDeleteOne other small thing is the music loop, it's not linked very well, but I music is probably one of the last thing on a list of priorities.
Other then that, so far so good, very happy with the progress you've made and hope more comes sooner than later. If I may be so bold, maybe Neko could make it as our next thing we test?
Actually, after this release we plan on releasing more material as soon as we can. Our current plan is to release a new beta when we finish the farms completely and everything else works as good as it can.
DeleteAnd as it happens, we were discussing about having Neko to be the next MoGi because she was the most popular in the poll of Ucogi-forums. We'll see.
I personally think Amanita is fine as she is. She hides when in immediate danger and throws stuff when she is in a safe distance. If she also had a short range attack she would be too hard. Don't worry, when more MoGi populate the world she would have more chances of having sex with Voms!
If I already donated on Offbeater to get a copy of the game once it is released, would I have to donate another 30$ or just the difference to receive access to the Beta?
ReplyDeleteis it still possible for me to donate $120 and receive the digital mega-pack now? Or was that only given out during the offbeatr fundraising event?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can donate for the digital mega-pack.
DeleteFinally got around to trying it, got stuck at a platforming level where I would get slapped off the platforms and fall into water. I saw nipples which was very nice of you guys. Additionally, the new animation is good. Not better than Pumpkin Girl but good. In regards to new characters, is Voms still the only playable character? I know you showed some things on Chibi Ucogi, I was wondering if any other characters, like Rudy or Vor were also playable at this time.
ReplyDeleteI wont confirm or deny :P...
DeleteAww mannn
DeleteI didn't find anything. I think I searched everywhere. No signs of any other characters. Maybe soon, but in terms of in this version of the demo, I'd say no.
Deletehehehehehe
DeleteBad, bad Titan! xD
DeleteKay there blatently is... lol
DeleteI was thinking maybe one of the pods might have Rudy or something... but I can't figure out how to open them. Either way, if there is, I will hunt like a beast. If there isn't, I'm wasting time trying to find a reward that isn't there!
DeleteRudy is not in the game and if she was.... she wouldn't be hiding in the levels. That goes for every other character.
DeleteOh. So there are none. Titan was just teasing. Ok, thanks.
DeleteI didn't say that =P
DeleteRudy is not in the game - So if there IS someone, it's just not her right now...
DeleteShe wouldn't be hiding in the levels. That goes for every other character - Rudy, nor Vor or Ucogi, ect are hiding...
This is a mystery
I quit, I can't find any other characters.
DeleteIf you hold shift and press left or right you can switch characters.
DeleteA lot of the characters have qcf attacks but not all of them can traverse the environments equally right now... still working on how that part's all going to work. Chibi's... so strong...
lol! Sorry.... I did tried to help there!
DeleteI hope that playing as Chibi compensates the trouble you had!
Found a bug where if I'm hanging from the ledge above an elevator when it descends, I go down but stay in the hanging state.
ReplyDeleteHere's a screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/2dqknio/8
Can't recreate it odly enough. How did this happen?
DeleteI went up the elevator, broke the crate, pushed the barrel on to the elevator, rode the elevator back up on the barrel, jumped & hung on to the ledge, and waited.
DeleteThe critical thing is that you hook the ledge before the elevator begins to descend.
DeleteHehe you described it well and I managed to do it! Titan just fixed that glitch, so you won't see it in the next Beta! Thanks!
DeleteMe again! Now that we know about the character swapping, I've been goofing around, and I noticed that wherever I swap to Rudy (at least, I assume it's Rudy), the game crashes. Here's the error message:
DeleteFATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Step Event2
for object obj_rudy:
illegal array use
at gml_Object_obj_rudy_Step_2
I've gotten a similar error playing as Vor, but I haven't pinned down a repeatable case yet.
So i cant play it >_<. The full game are a pay game?.
ReplyDeleteYou can play the demo for free if you press Downloads at the top of the page.
DeleteThanks Victor A. Im sure you are a good work.
Deletehello, I have not gotten my game version beta yet, I wonder if there is a problem with some users who invested in the project, bugs see how others if they beta goes so far as to end the game, sorry for my english, well, I'll wait a bit more if not then the project fails, a greeting
ReplyDeleteDid you receive a dropbox link a few months back? If so it should now have the beta in it.
DeleteGod, sorry, now I have installed dropbox, it's not a program I use, I guess you can see my email quickly, bboygran.....hotmail.es forgive the inconvenience man, greetings and thanks
DeleteBboy, send us your Offbeatr username to check you out. Then we will give you access to Beta.
Deletesergio84 ese es mi nombre que se puede ver en offbear muchas gracias
Deletesergio84 that's my name What You Can See in offbear thank you very much
DeleteWe will check it.
DeletePlease don't write Spanish. We dont speak Spanish. Simple English are easier to us.
im sorry
DeleteHello, my name appears on page nº 9, sergio84, with a contribution of $ 100, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, disturb not my intention, a greeting that go all fancy.
DeleteI need to ask everyone who pledged in Offbeatr to go and check their messages there.
ReplyDeleteNot only we sent the Beta access to those who pledged for it, but we also need info about the NPC names among other things we might require such as MoGi rapes. Ignoring this message might stall the game and ultimately may result to lose the deadline for naming your individual NPC. We have no other way of contacting the pledgers. We can wait, but please do not neglect this request if you want to name an NPC.
So far we got zero NPC names for the game and well... the farmers need names!
Please name one of them in the glory, of the all mighty, Kim Jong Un!
DeleteHello, just donated in the original amount for the beta/copy based off the offbeatr page.
ReplyDeleteI know you guys are probably getting blasted with emails/messages and questions. If there is anything I need to do to register my email for conformation please let me know.
No, it's fine. The procedure is simple: I receive the email with the donation, then I tell Titan, which in turn sends the beta access. You should have it in 3-4 hours.
DeleteOkay awesome, thanks a lot.
DeleteI donated $15 on offbeatr--if i want to donate another $15, will I get beta access?
ReplyDeleteNo man. 15 bucks gets you a different reward. The screen saver, the icons and the wallpapers. With another 15 you get that same reward again. 30 dollars is for beta and the game, without the rewards. So I donated 30 first, for the beta, then 15 for the screen saver and icons.
DeleteThis is a bit confusing, so let me clear a few things up.
DeleteIf you donated for the "game" ($12) but not for the "game AND beta" ($30) you can pay the difference ($18) and we will give you beta access (since the $30 reward is an extension of the $12 reward). In this case we need your OffBeatr username otherwise it can be messy (sending too many emails to find your info could stall the making of the game).
However if you paid for the $15 pledge, you can't pay the difference because the rewards are completely different. In the $15 reward you don't get a game, so you need to pay $12 if you want the game and $30 to get the game AND the Beta access.
how can i get beta to work? i cant see any exe files or anything
ReplyDeleteyeah what program are you using to run a .win file extension?
ReplyDeleteWhoah... someone deleted the .exe in there...
DeleteIt''s back now. Sorry about that.
paypal is asking me to donate in euros and I want to donate in dollars does anyone know how to fix this?
ReplyDeleteYou cannot. There 30 Dollars is in euros so you will have to pay the euros even if it gets converted to a higher amount. For me 30 Euros was 45.34AUD
DeleteAmount: €30.00 EUR
Currency conversion: $45.34 AUD = €30.00 EUR
Exchange rate: 1 AUD = 0.661700 EUR
This doesn't really make sense, because people on the offbeatr website paid 30 USD, not 30 Euros. Wouldn't it be that you convert 30 USD to Euros, and not the other way around?
DeleteThis is too confusing.
DeleteOffbeatr was dealing in USD. Donations are dealt in euros. If you google "how much is $30 in euros" you will get a calculation as a result (roughly 22 euros).
We can't possibly calculate what everyone want's and what each one of you needs, so I'm kindly asking you to do this yourselves, otherwise the summer will go by and we will still be typing numbers. Not to mention that we need to verify everyone one from OB usernames, emails, and compare the date and so on. Even if someone changes their mind, plus the time and language differences and the time it takes for someone to reply.... that can magnify the issue several times over!
Please we need everyone's help on this, because this really distracts us from our actual work. I hope you all understand.
anyone else just getting a black screen when adding the new beta files and overwriting demos pack older files?
ReplyDeletei have same problem
DeleteSorry I dont understand. You took all the files in the beta and copied them into the same folder and it doesn't work?
DeleteTitan I want to donate 22.20 Euros is that an acceptable amount for the beta link and full game?
ReplyDeleteI have found that when Voms is in a downed state, but not being raped by any mogi. I am able to still access areas. So Voms is on the floor and I accidentally press up rather than z thinking it'll get me up. And then i end up in a new area with the bar still moving below. But my health is on zilch that once i am hit again i go back down. This happened in the area before the fire and i needed to go the where the sprinkler switch was.
ReplyDeletehaha good one! Yes this happens when Voms is unconscious and there's a "door" behind him
DeleteIf I may ask, will there be any game content changes/additions as a specific result of ongoing donations?
DeleteI hope they reach bloody alice from these recent donations
DeleteYa, with Bloody Alice, this game will be complete!
DeleteI'm afraid we can't do that for several reasons:
Delete1) The game gets pre-designed so that we know everything that we have to do in order to avoid any surprises. Adding a whole new mode means to change the game design (programming and story) from it's foundations.
2) Because of the above, and since OB period is over, the donations we receive are not considered as "croudfunding" anymore, that's why you can only get a limited number of them (the game, the beta and the digital packs).
3) We already established that we will add the 40k and 45k goals from Offbeatr, even though we originally received much less than that. That's because we wanted to make a complete game since we were so close to those goals and because we wanted to keep everyone happy.
4) The game will be complete. Bloody Alice would have been only be a prequel game that had nothing (much) to do with MoGi. She may as well appear in another game.
5) All that said, we might add more stuff depending on our restrictions and deadlines. We want to make this game as appealing and fun as possible, so if we can add something extra, we will. You already got all those collectibles! xD
I see, that makes sense. But hey, what about the shape-shifting mogi? Its not a new mode, just a secret boss. I am looking forward to fighting naked ucogi and alice and being raped by them, how are chances for that hapenning?
DeleteThat was something extra suggested by the fans. It is possible that it will happen but we haven't made plans about that as of now. We will know more when Ucogi and Alice are made.
DeleteThat idea is something, i tell you that. I wish to see it making to the actual game, cheers!
Deletei donated using paypal. i dont have an offbeater account. do i get to play the beta?
ReplyDeleteIf you donated the correct amount yes you will. We need to process your donation first, so we need some time to do that. You will be contacted either way.
Deletea great job, I can not wait to see more, I hope you can I move apace, viewing the list of Mogis you have prepared, I would say that you do not have to do more designs will be a great game no doubt, suggest an idea, you could make variations of the same pose of rape, as the character fails in his attempt to escape, that would be a big twist, congratulations greetings for the game.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteWe can't have pose variations. That would be too much to make...!
We have to do so much already! ^^;
Why havent I got my reward yet? I pledged! (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/UPfxFRp.png)
ReplyDeleteYou pledged $50 which means you get the game (when it's finished) and the Digital book (which will be made after the game's release). Right now we can't give you any of those rewards because they are not finished. If you mean why you don't have Beta access, it's because you didn't pledged for Beta access. I'm afraid that to Beta access you need to donate $18 extra. Sorry for this confusion...
DeleteBut on Offbeatr it said I had to PLedge at least 30$ to get access? Maybe I'm wrong... Anyway how much do I have to donate to get the BETA and where? I am eager to play. I am grateful for a fast reply!
DeleteThe Offbeatr period is over and we don't deal anymore with all the pledges that appear there. Some of the pledges might get re-opened but right now we can't deal with people asking all kinds of things. So we only offer 2 things for the time being: the Beta and the Digital Megapack. We will give you the Digital book if you want, or we can give you the Beta since you gave us $30+, but without the Guidebook. It's confusing but thats why I'm saying "people asking all kinds of things".... because it's messy.
DeleteYou can donate by clicking "Donate" on the top right corner of this page, right under the PumpkinGirl. It says "Get the beta now!"
These are your options since you gave us $30:
1) Donate $18 to get Digital book and Beta + Game
2) Don't donate any more and get the beta but not the Guidebook (You still need to get something that is worth $20, since the beta is worth $30.. thats a bit messy to us right now)
3) Don't donate any more and get the Guidebook but not the beta.
Hello! Sorry for being a pain in the ass with all the questions... I'd like to add another 18$ then if that's the case! Do I just go with paypal and how do you know it's me who donates?
DeleteLast question, didn't I pledge 50$ from the beginning and not 30?
Once again, sorry for all my questions.
SIncerely SImon.
Yes you pledged $50 as it appears to be from the screenshot. So if you donate another $18, make sure you write in a message (it appears in the donation form) your OffBeatr nickname so that we would know who you are ;)
Deletehi, i donated 5 eur, or 7something aud using paypal, how much more would i have to donated to get beta access?
ReplyDelete18 more
DeleteFor those who missed it... Titan revealed a secret regarding the Beta!
ReplyDeleteit's up there!
Have fun and we'll be waiting your feedback!
Yeah my game crashes however when I start circling through too many. Just after the dude with the staff.
DeleteYeah... this "secret" was meant for internal testing only, so there are glitches.
DeleteAnd that's not a dude! It's Ucogi holding a broom! xD
Ah!.... My apologies, she looked the part I'm sure :L
Deletecan someone make a gameplay video of this version?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see one too!
DeleteI second that! I'd do it but I got too much in my plate right now...
DeleteI'm surprised though.. nobody made any comments about Chibi or the other characters (as draft as they may be). I'd like to hear some feedback.
Then let me be the first! First of all, aside from the rather hilarious super-fast running animation (same with that big hulking draft - shift-left from vom-s) I felt that ucogi seemed rather OP (compared to Voms anyway), unless you're actually trying to make Voms deliberately weak. I felt as though playing as Voms was really just like playing on hard mode, switching to the other chars was like playing on easy mode. Chibi was very fun to play, I especially liked her ability to climb walls, very innovative, I had so much fun climbing up invisible walls across the levels, and jumping into the void (especially in the empty area to the right of the crate which contained a collectible after having to activate the moving platform as Voms, near the vending machine I encountered a number of glitches there.)
DeleteThe main problem with the other drafts is that they cannot drop down onto the ledges such as the ones in the river area, they seem to just fall straight through them, though I imagine this would be fixed in the final. Personally, I would have loved more secret areas (just my personal opinion, I LOVE secret areas). Anyway back to the characters, to be honest, Voms, in terms of uniqueness I felt as though the drafts/chibi ucogi kind of lacked variance, they really all just possessed the same 3-hit combo attack, roughly the same speed, and just didn't seem to stand out to me (just a personal opinion though). I know that I have nothing to do with the development of the game at all, but perhaps I could share some ideas for more attack variance? E.g
1. One character might, say, upon pressing and holding the attack button, would enter a charge state, that could be charged to, say 5 levels, and each level would execute a different attack, e.g (purely for speculation) (charge 1(a short press) might execute an uppercut, charge 2 might execute a flying kick, charge 3 maybe a combo attack etc etc
2. Another character might be a pure grappler, e.g upon hitting the attack button, they would attempt to grab an enemy for about 1 second, and then during that one second, you could input a button combination (such a up+c or something) and it would execute a type of throw perhaps, maybe a piledriver etc etc.
Sorry if i'm sounding obnoxious or anything, I no I have no say in the matter, but I just feel as though the current chars, as this rate seem rather similar (once again just my personal opinion - my apologies if I come across as rude). I mean I do realise this is just the beta though!
Plusses - Everything! I for a beta I really enjoyed it, however short it was.
Negatives - The drafts of the secret characters seemed rather similar to one another, IMO they seemed to be lacking in variance a bit.
Whew, long post.
Hehe thanks!
DeleteIndeed these are just drafts, the final characters would be more balanced. Vor (the hulky character) for example, would be much faster and he could jump a lot higher. Ucogi may seem to play on easy mode but if her levels are harder than Voms then the difficulty would be about the same. Voms story will be slower, riddle-based. Ucogi's would be faster, more action based.
No grabbing characters I'm afraid.. too hard to design and program!
Did you ever managed to play as Rudy? she shoots stuff so her gameplay is very different. She would be able to charge her weapon as well.
Which one was Rudy? Whenever I went shift+right from broom Ucogi, and shift+left from Vor, it just crashed... How can I play as Rudy?
DeleteTitan updated the Beta 1-2 days ago. You may be playing the older version, so try to download the Beta again. Rudy is the stickman with the gun.
DeleteVery nice indeed! She has a major glitch though, if you hang off a ledge, then repeatedly press x/up to climb up onto a ledge she will constantly repeat this climb-up animation, to the point where she goes off-screen (lmao),also, she can't break boxes, her bullet goes straight through, and it wont make her kick it. But other than that, she's probably the OP character of the lot! (lol) Mainly due to the fact that all projectiles in the game go through all objects, including her bullets. And nice forwards roll you implemented! Aside from the fact that it has little use it seems, its -extremely- fun to dive this way off high places, such as that secret high up area near the river where that female mechanic is resting. Which leads me onto the other thing, are there going to be any more female NPCs in the game later on? I actually got quite a shock when I first found her, she was the first female NPC I saw.
DeleteHaha That's a funny glitch! I found a similar one in an early version where you could do the roll during a roll infinite times, causing her to fly like superman! xD
DeleteRudy is almost invisible to attacks during her roll.
Rudy's projectiles will stop at objects and might be weaker than Voms hits. We will get to balancing her moves when her time comes, but for now we got what we need for testing out the levels.
And yes, the island will have female NPCs. Anyone who pledged on certain rewards can even name them, so it would be fun!
I pledged for the $40 Card and Game pledge. If possible, could I donate the difference for beta access and how much would that difference be?
ReplyDeleteIf you have already pledged/donated for the game, the difference would be +$18 to receive the beta.
DeleteI'm in the same boat.... I donated for the $20 and $80 levels, but neither included beta access. So its an extra ~$18 to get beta?.. Why didn't I just donate at the $120 level!!! For just $2 extra, I could have had all of those goodies! Curses!
DeleteDespair not! Contact us with your OffBeatr nickname. Since you pledged for the game twice, we can give you beta access :)
DeleteThat is amazing news! Thank you so much!
Deletehow frequently do you guys intend to do these beta updates? I'm dying for more!
ReplyDelete....dying....
we don't really have a... "frequency"! We promised to you and to ourselves that we will be releasing stuff more often from now on.
DeleteOur next release would be when:
1) we perfect the docks and the cut scenes (Some things need to change or get modified)
2) We finish the farms.
Thank you for sharing your excitement.. this gets us even more excited! xD
Can I get your beta version? I donated you, but I didn't get a game.
ReplyDeleteSend us a private message using the contact form. Include your Offbeatr nickname if you pledged or your emails if you donated, otherwise we can\t know of who you are. Once we check you out, we would know if we can give you Beta access. Right now I have no idea of who you are.
DeleteI sent you my e-mail address and my name by contact.
DeleteYou should have your Beta access now.
DeleteLooks like this might now get finished till November.
ReplyDeleteIt would help a lot if you can tell us where you got this message (which area) and what you were doing at that point. Did you change characters at all before this happened? We need as much info as you can give us to pint point the problem.
ReplyDeleteNow I imagine you guys like keeping things under tight wraps at the moment. But can you give us a clue about boss these fights? What'll make them different to the standard mogi? besides being only one of them and tougher to defeat. Will they be at the end of the levels as standard practice, or crop at some stage to prevent Voms from progressing any further?
ReplyDeleteI'm just curious as to what you guys plan to do. I'm not asking for spoilers so say the bare minimum if needs be :D
Hard to say anything on this without spoilers.
DeleteWe will try to merge the bosses with the story. Since the game is non linear, they wont appear at the end of levels but on certain plot points. It's a bit early to say how many bosses there would be or how they would act. I guess they would have to appear in secluded areas. Some of them will try to talk to Voms. Some of them may fight against Voms and also some of the other playable chars such as Ucogi. I'm not sure what else to say.. bosses are a bit of vague concept at this point. We know what the 1st boss would look like and what boss would appear at the communications tower and at the end of the game... but what happens in between needs to be addressed according to the pace of the game. Which is trial and error. We need to make many levels before we know more about the bosses.
I thought this was going to be a linear type of game. Glad it isn't.
DeleteJust wondering, will the Mogi monsters drop anything upon defeat? As in like upon defeating one, there's a 1% chance to drop a secret item or something, that would be pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteWe will add such things if we feel that anything like that can actually be useful at random times. So far we don't have a reason for MoGi to drop random items. The only items in the game are fruits and magazines and perhaps keys. Giving these things to random MoGi sounds like a bad idea.
DeleteSo, if you donate via PayPal, what kind of turn around time can we expect for a response and the beta?
ReplyDelete1-2 days if there aren't any communication problems
Deleteknow a lot of people are bugging you about it already but just donated enough for the beta and was wondering how much more is it to buy the actual game or if buying the game is completely separate or what? looks great can't wait to start playing beta
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who you are and how much you donated without a nickname or email but you can't get the beta if you haven't donated for the game.
DeleteIn short:
Game = $12
Game+Beta = $30
O sorry I had forgotten set up the email and everything for the donation is there any way I could email the receipt or something to get it? (this is the anonymous from before just realizing i never logged in =/)
DeleteIf you donated, then we get your email and we will contact you with your Beta access details. You dont need to send us anything else. It should take 1-2 days max.
Deleteif there are still some how donate and you reach like 50000 will you make the update with alice to the game like in offbeatr ?
ReplyDeleteWe replied to that already somewhere up there.
DeleteShort answer is no, because we have already established the game's foundations.
Also, we only got around 36k during croudfunding, but we still are going to do the 45k goal, plus adding a few extra things here and there.
secret boss mogi! secret boss mogi! *wants the copying mogi*
DeleteNice! Her eyes are kind of freaky looking though lol
ReplyDeleteThanks, I tried to make the eyes look like cartoon eyes, but had no idea how.
ReplyDeleteQuick question, I found that the secret collectible magazines found in the game didn't really seem to fit in with the whole ucogi-styled world, wouldn't it seem far cooler if the magazine covers actually had ucogi-related artwork/stories on them? Or are the current magazine covers simply placeholders?
ReplyDeleteTrue, the mags don't really fit art-wise that's the point. We wanted to add some collectible items but adding Ucogi art or MoGi images would be breaking the fourth wall because that would go against the story! So we use some art I had laying around as something extra for the fans to collect. It deviates from the MoGi theme but they are magazines.. they are always a window of reality in many senses! Besides, you don't have to collect them if you don't like them! :P
DeleteRG Stone is not bad in 3d! not bad at all! Very well done Vongola!
ReplyDeleteso i donated using paypal with a description on the donation "for beta" but i donated a little over the amount due to guesswork with euros.... this was a week ago and still no reply?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the e-mail you donated with?
Deletethe.versifier@gmail.com
DeleteI just sent you an email. I hope you got it. If not, check your spam folder.
DeleteIf that fails too, send us a PM.
Thanks Victor. This model was more of a test for me. This is my first time modeling the female body and I spent so much time trying to get the boobs and butt to look decent. My brother told me it looks like the Loli version of RG stone because her legs and torso, and arms have no meat on them lol.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea how to do the hair, I found it the most difficult of all and can't find a free tutorial on how to make decent cartoon/anime hair.
The head model needs work. As someone said, the eyes look freaky, because theres no black outline around the eyes and no eye lids lol.
The reference I used didnt have much thickness to the character and was slim, only part I enchanced were the boobs :D.
I will be trying to get better at doing these types of models until they look good. Same for rigging and animation.
Ill be modeling Voms next and his face will look a little more realistic. Hopefully better than my previous male model, which was terrible compared to RG Stone.
Actually I thought you would make SG Black in 3d xD
ReplyDeleteVoms can be interesting... if he wears his mask then you wont have to worry about making his eyes, but his hair is designed to look 2d, like Mickey Mouse's ears in a way.
RG Stone looks very good. There are always design deviations from 2d to 3d but considering you only had 1 reference image to work with, it's quite impressive! If you can't add texture, perhaps you could add small polygon shapes to create her eyelashes. Just a thought! ^^
I really wanted to model Slime Girl Black in 3D but I couldnt find any reference image (Front, Side, and Back)that matched her body. I will model her eventually though, along with a few other MoGi's.
ReplyDeleteModeling Voms won't be as hard as a female. Ill definetely have him wearing his mask but ill still model his eyes even though I won't be showing it lol. But the hair man... why's it so hard to make 2D hair to 3D hair. >.<
I'm not yet at the point where I can model just by looking at an image. Especially for complex models like humans or a pistol. I can model some things without having to set it up for 3D. I think I can but I just think that it's not going to end up right. Right now I can only model by using reference images set up for 3D Modeling.
Ill be fixing Rock Girl Stone eyes and I might just try to model Slime Girl Black with out using images set up for 3D
how long is the beta test going to last? after the beta can we get the game for free?
ReplyDeleteWe will be releasing beta versions until the game is completed. Anyone with beta access will get the finished games by default. If you haven't donated for the game, you can't have beta access in the first place.
Deletestill waiting a gameplay of this version :c
ReplyDeleteSo without access to the Beta how would I know if I'd like to purchase the finished game? Well played guys. Lol

Anyone have any idea where the vending machine is in the beta?
ReplyDeletePress UP to enter the alley.
DeleteI made a note to add directions there. Thanks for reminding me :)
When i start the Beta the Level is empty. There are no Enemies. I have the same problem in the Demo :( please help!
ReplyDeletein the demo you need to reach the 2nd area to find the enemies, which is straight ahead.
Deletein the beta, you need to go to the farms to find enemies. I'm not sure why you have trouble there.
