aaand i cant play it.

what's wrong?

when i click on open it opens up internet explorer nad instantly crashes. im not the best with computers.. and im thinking i dont have the right program or something to open it

Did internet explorer go mad when you clicked the link or when you tried to unpackage the the file?

ok heres exactly what happened. i clicked the link (useing google chorome) and it takes me to the download page, i download it. then i go to where it is in folders, and i right click and click open. then after a while a popup comes up saying that internet explorer has stopped working, and then when i click on the new internet explorer pages, ones just a blank page, and the other is some other pop up saying 'veiw downloads" with nothing on it,

Never mind it now comrade, I helped him out through steam :P Have a nice day, and now to go try it myself :3

thanks

think you can help me out?

i am having the same problem, is there any way i can get some help

how do you save in this game? i pushed Esc trying to bring up a menu and it exited me, i thought those pokeball symbols were save spots, but i didnt ahve any load files

there are statures that you stand in front of. interact with the stature to save.

ah, what do they look like?

they are the same pokemon statures you see in the pokemon games. the first one is in the middle of the road just before you enter MarbleStone, you can't miss it.

ok. :) thanks.

and that abra was nice. :)

Did u mean statues?

welp, just finished it, it was great, loved lilys reaction to eating the houndoom, the only bad thing was how long some of the places were to get past them by going back and forth, i cant wait for the next demo. hope its soon. and seeing lily eat the alien made me in a vore mood, thanks for the great game

thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. the going back and forth part are to help the player get used to the controls you see.

yeah, i realised how good i got (well, better) at the end, i also figured out if you mash a button while your in webs you get out quicker

I can't play the game cause the laptop I have can't download I realy want to can you make a no download version

Oh and zachfox I reilised we have the fox in our name and I did that cause I love foxes they're cute

Hmm... so a demo came out now? Surprising. I've seen a few animations related to this, but I never expected to see a demo. I might as well give it a whirl.

yes, it's the song i picked for Lily's theme.

that's never happened before... what stage of the scene did it crash at?

I just played a copy from the link, I didn't encounter a problem. I did test the game on two other computers and they did have some issues running it. i think it was because the computers i ran it on were to slow to hold the game. when you played it, did it feel Sluggish in any way? and was there a slow frame rate?

well... I'm sorry but I Really don't have a real answer for you. best I can say is re-download it and see if it happens again. maybe while your playing it, have your task manager up.

Lily doesn't seem amused with how long this took to release.

lol

Also, I posted a journal myself linking to this.

Pretty fun demo! Was a bit disappointed that the arrow keys didn't want to work for tuning the transperency on the two vore scenes, but great work!

thanks, the transparency feature does work but it can be a little weird to control sometimes. next time you get to one of the transparency scenes, UP should be the first control you want to use.

That and I was disappointed that you would apparently get 'webbed and unable to continue' but it looked like a normal game over. XD Yes... if it was an enemy, it knocked Lily out... >.>;;; Sorry, Mightyenas are sexy as all get out.

yea... that game over screen is not ready yet... as I said in the description, there still is some work to be done.

Oh nice!

I encountered that as well, and after fiddling with it a bit, I think it's because the values over-carry. Like, let's say pressing up increases the opacity, and pressing down decreases it, where the maximum and minimum values are 0, and 100. If you press down to decrease it while it's already at 0, it seems to decrease the value further below 0, and you therefor have to then compensate by holding up longer.

why is it that everytime i try to download what i need to open it it always says i need to log in as administrator

From what I found, the direction overcompensate when you're at max or minimum opacity, and press the wrong direction. For example, if you press up for a second while that direction's opacity is maximized, you'll have to press down for an additional second to compensate before the opacity will actually start changing.

Well, I quite enjoyed that, thought it was overall a nice, fun experience. :3

There are a couple of what might be bugs I picked up on, for example some of the berries do not seem to restore any health. It may be that they restored so little that I didn't notice, but I think there were a few towards the end that did nothing. The other bug came from a difficulty with the chase scene, it seemed some logs were jumpable but others were not, though it may have been slightly bad timing on my part, so possibly not. :3

The chase scene was nice for variety of gameplay overall I thought, however I think perhaps offering health restoration and/or a save point between the chase gameplay and the actual boss fight would be a nice addition to keep the difficulty at a decent level and save the frustration of going through all the dialogue and chase again and such.~

Overall, quite impressed, worth the wait I think and the good outweighs the bad as far as this demo goes. :3

thanks for the feedback!

The berries... yea, little health. I was thinking of getting rid of all the berries I don't need and only feature the ones I do need. (Oran Berry for example)
The chase part is about timing, when I first made the stage, I had the same problem but over time I got the timing down.

between the chase and battle, I'll... look into putting a save there but if I can't, I'll place some strong in the battle field to help the player.

Awesome! Glad the feedback might help a little. :3

I hope you keep in mind you don't delete the berries you actually planning to cure negative effects like poision :)

(Sorry for much attention everywhere on this comment section, but feel free to check. Oh and I have also posted a Private Message regarding of this game as well judging no one have posted about this thing or they want it to keep secret away from public like I did after you read it ;)

crap...I need RAR

This is only the demo!? Wow this is looking to be a fantastic game. Amazing job on the whole thing. Consider yourself watched.

that is an encouraging comment, Thanks. glad you enjoyed it! and thanks for the watch.

I really hate to be the guy that asks this but this game is just so awesome. Do you have any kind of ballpark estimate when the next part is going to be out?

don't feel like a bad guy.
I don't have any idea when the next part will be ready, but I will try to post updates to let you guys know how it's coming along.

Awesome, and how do you get the easter egg after beating the boss? Do you just pick start game again or do you load file?

start Lily's story, when you get to the stage where you first see the weedle, go down the stairs into the dirt area and head left till you hear the ring sound from sonic, face up and Bite to find the easter egg, the easter egg will end with a clue to where the next easter egg is. (the easter eggs are just me tell you some things I'm planning for later in the game.)

thank you for your feedback.

I will take a look at the chase stage. thinking about it, I may be able to make the controls a little better...

I use Game Maker 8, I am not sure if it can produce a "Linux version" tho, I'll be sure to check about and see if it's possible for Game Maker.
I have tried to set up the game to run external sound files, but I haven't had any luck on that.

The boss battle after that chase level also suffers from those buggy controls(sometimes Mightyena doesn't move when pressing a key) and Houndoom's HP bar is missing. What I meant with "Linux version" was just the Windows version but with external sound files. I know that Gmae Maker can't produce real Linux versions because it's Windows-only software.

I don't really have to answer the to buggy controls part, maybe it's Linux, maybe it's the game. next time I'm test it I'll give the controls hell and see if it starts to bug out on me. and the Houndoom HP bar... there is none.

but again, I have tried to set up the game to run external sound files, but I haven't had any luck on that.
if I was able to play external sound files it would be benefit the Windows player too.

Someone on Furaffinity by the name of darklord92 is in production of a vore game using Game Maker 8. It isn't as high quality as your own game, but he successfully set it up so that many files (including sound files) loaded up and used external files for monsters as well as for sound files. Maybe you can talk to him about setting up external sound files for your game.

thanks, that's sounds like a great idea!
plus, If I can use other resources externally, I could trim down the file size, possibly making it easier for computers to run.

Looks neat! Any way to save the game, though? I ran into some voltorbs to see if I could just continue, and was dismayed to find I had to do the whole library thing over again.

the save points are statures you find. the first one is at the end of the first route... but it's looking like I'll have to place one at the start of the route.
there is a book in the library that tells you about the stones, but it looks like people keep missing it. =p

Yeah, I found it now! Setting off voltorbs by going back and forth is pretty tedious... But after losing the Houndoom scene, I'd definitely have to say it was worth it. That was great.

Oh also, a continue button WOULD be really nice, given the nature of the game and that I'm going to be purposefully losing a lot! :p

Ok, I'll be sure to add a continue button on the game over screens.

thank you for your feedback.

I absolutely love this. This is probably one of the best vore games I have ever played it wasn't boring either it has a good captivating story that makes me wana find out more. Especially makes me curious how many other vore possibilities could happen. I am REALLY looking forward to more of this.

Thanks for the encouraging feed back and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I too am looking forward to working on the next part and seeing what I will come up with.

i got the same problem like Mushroomfly the crashed during the scene where the spaceship falls, maybe a skip-function will help :)
but so far a nice game ^^

skip-function noted, thanks!

This is a pretty great start if anything else, there's a lot of great details and I can tell you've put some time into it already. x3

My only complaint is that the text scrawl is too slow for my taste, and it's not like it's a RPG Maker game where you can hit a button to advance the text to the end of the current line, while it's typing. <.< Also, some of the puzzles where you just had to walk back and forth between certain points a lot of times to set off the traps, I just said "screw it", got hit right before the last Voltorb, and walked through him while invincible from the first damage.

Also, if anyone's having a problem with the chase scene, stay pressed up against the left/right side, there's a lot less action there. Actually, you might not get hit at all. (probably something to look at from a designer perspective, too, I really don't think anything hit me at all, though there were a few things that came near)

But yeah, great start, can't wait to see more!

Also I'd offer any audio/music help you might want, but it seems like you're doing well enough there, as it is. x3

thank you foe your feedback!

the space bar is the text advance key. I guess I need to find a way to tell the player that in game...
I may speed the Text up as well.

you found my tricks with the Voltorb and the chase bits. =P

and thanks for offering to help me with audio/music, maybe you can send me a massage that describes your strong points in audio/music.

This seems very cool! Could it run on my mac

I don't think games made on Game Maker can run on Macs... sorry.

:( Anyway this could be converted for mac?

.... so sorry... I do not think so. however, I have heard that there's a way to run Windows on a Mac, but I have no clue how to do that. =(

I heard that wine could convert a windows program to mac, I may try that

somebody here already tried that but he was running on with Linux. he reported the game did work but it was a little buggy. If you ever try it, please let me knew.

Maybe that could do the same for mac and provide a download link... I did that with SFXMM and it worked fine

I can't do it myself... I have to have someone else convert it to mac via wine and have them post the download link... :( And I REALLY wanted to play this...

I can't get past the first part where the evee and the trecko are blocking the way i try to interact with them but i keep getting the same message

head North...

I have been but once i get to the end of the road and press E i do not move onto the field stage for some reason..

when i unlocked the extra stage, after the extra stage objective appear it stays there, saying to press anny key to continue but nothing happens, i only hear a barking sound wherever i press a direction buttom but thats all

oh, I forgot to fix something there... instead of pressing any key, press P and the stage should start.

mediafire doesn't let me download it, says there's a problem or gives me a forbidden page <:3

Would you like me to E-mail it to you, Sparky?

oh nevermind, found out I had to sign up to download X3 trying it out now ^^

alright just done with it...and I'm really impressed ^^ not only by the story and the work put on it and the game itself...the vore scene was also a great bonus and was well made too ^^ you should consider having them as unlockables kinda like when someone wants t see cutscenes again :3

only point I'd like to make is that maybe there should be a way to make text run by faster as it's kinda slow as it is ^^

also, vorish moment...Lily makes for one really nice pred =^^= sorry but I had to say it X3; looking forward to the next demo!

Glad you enjoyed it!
I am planning on making a "Vore Room" opinion from the bonus menu.
I will be speeding up the text.
and yes, Lily does make an excellent pred! XD

Lilly is best pon-*nom* MMmph!?

How in the world do I deal with the Electorbs? I can't figure out how to get them out of the way, since the shadowball's don't affect them and what look like pokeball switches only ever took out one.

Okay, figured it out.

Pretty good game, love the vore scenes themselves. The art style works surprisingly well with the sprites and the cut-scenes are pleasant ways to break up the game.

There are some issues, but that's what betas are for. First off the controls are a little stiff. For whatever reason if I hold one direction, then press another while still holding the first, then release the second the character stops. It may seem like an odd complaint but this is the first game I've plaid that doesn't have the character continue moving the first direction and (for me at least) it's become the default control for going diagonally in an RPG.

Also I'm getting a lot of lag on the river screen. Not sure if it's the number of characters on that map or the river texture, but this is the first time I've had an RPG maker game lag on my rig, so you might want to look into that.

Then there's the pacing. This game is slow, and I can't really see a reason for it to start so slowly. There's a number of scenes where control is taken away from the player to watch the character follow another character. These are okay when used sparingly but in excess they can be really dull, especially since there's no way to skip them or make them go faster, which is exactly what players want to do if forced to see them again due to restarting the game or having to replay a sequence.

The last Voltorb puzzle you might want to look over again. Most people take issue with backtracking and having the player run back and forth across the same screen six times can get mighty repetitive. I mean solving a puzzle is one thing, or asking the players to navigate a maze, but asking the player to just run back and forth seems like a waste.

Oh, and the logs in the chase scene always seem a lot wider than the warning implies.

Sorry if this sounds nit-picky, I don't mean to come off that way. I just feel like betas and demos are the time to point these sort of things out, while the game is still being worked on. On their own little issues like these aren't that big of a deal, but they add up over time and can make a great game unplayable. Just trying to help.

Oh, two glitches.
-When I opened the map in the house it won't close.
-During the chase scene I hugged the far wall and no obstacles could hit me, then I drifted through the wall and was running on the tree-tops, ninja style. Good way to get to the boss fight at full health.

Oh, typo in first easter egg. Also loved the extra stage. Really cool idea for a level and surprisingly tense. Well done there.

About the first glitch, you can able to close it with Enter.

I am curious, will vore be simply a boss battle end scene, or is it something the players will actually be able to actively do while adventuring?

For the most part, it will only happen after the boss battles. However, there might times where some wild Pokemon will be able to eat you out of battle.

:P im playing it on windows XP and i can play it perfectly fine. just the flashy background does get annoying from time to time lol. the artwork is amazing too.

flashy background? what do you mean by that?

the background for a tiny but noticable moment, disappears then reappears over and over when animation moves.

nvm i fixed it. apparantly, my computer moves faster than the game until i slow it down by using 2 of the same game at once. then it runs smoothly.

Played through the game, and I enjoyed it a fair bit.

Just a few things though; I'm not sure if it's the game-maker's compiler or what not, but, holy gods the RAM and CPU usage for this thing were INSANE. Are there any means for lowering those? X3 I mean, in smaller screens it didn't seem to be so bad, but in larger screens, sweet jesus, chuggy.

The game play is pretty solid, but I'm really not sold by the back-tracking through the same map, going back and forth to proceed. There were a few screens where I just said "SCREW THIS." Ran into a voltorb and continued into the next screen.

Some scenes felt just.. -reeeeally- long. The chase scene and the final battle in particular, with no method of knowing how far there was to go. And after a while of both, once I had the pattern down, I was more bored than anything, waiting for the battle to finish.

I'm with Sparky on the idea of having the ingestion scenes in the Bonus features, because those were -Fantastic-. And I of course, kept going back to the save point, and rewatching them. :Dc

The story is good as well, very intriguing. I'm certainly looking forward to more. (Hopefully I'll have a better system by then, so My first issue won't be so bad.) Keep up the wonderful work. :3c

thank you for the feedback.

I did check the task manager on the computer and it did seem ok. HOWEVER, when I tested it on one of my slower computers, the game almost it. that's why I have a slow/old computer notice with the game. in the future I will try to find ways to get the RAM and CPU usage down.

I will rearrange the voltorb level, everyone hates it...

I do plan on adding a "Vore Room" option to the bonus menus later on.

Awesome. :3

Don't feel badly about the voltorb thing. It's a neat idea. Just, not the most user-friendly is all. X3 *Ruffle*

Dah, as much as I'd rather not comment, I feel like some constructive criticism for further development is what you seek, what with this being a demo and not a full-fledged game :u

(also a throw-away account for low-profiling, so ugh)


ANYWAY! Onto the stuff that may be of interest to you.


First and forthmost is the gameplay mechanics. They're pretty solid, but they seem to cling when issuing different commands. This is most noticable when moving (it later became painfully obvious during the boss fight). The problem going on is when you use one directional command, holding that key, then using another just for a brief moment, then expecting the key you were holding down to continue after you release the secondary key. Rather than continuing, it defuncts the first key being held and prioritizes the second. Perhaps find a way to fix this so that when moving, it will be fluid?

The texts could use some work (oh, you mentioned that the grammar and sentence structure was in need of fine tuning), but the problem I personally had was how after almost all the character texts, you have the pokemon call sound play. This got fairly annoying before I even left the library phase. As a personal bit, you could either tone down the volume on the voices, or only play the voices during "excitement", "greetings", etc. Having it play after each character talks to the other got annoying quick.

Another issue I had was with the map... though not particularly the map itself. I wasn't able to find the proper button to exit it. After a while, I gave up and hit Escape... should probably look into disabling "Escape" as the default "Quit and Close Game" button, since it's mostly used to "Exit" things in-game in some cases too.


(anyone not having had played yet, beware! there be spoilers ahead!

During the chase scene, it was pretty solid. Though, there were some issues with sizing and color blinding. On the issue of sizing, I was often thrown off guard by the size of the logs and trees not exactly matching the warning icons. Though this is a minor gripe of mine, it could use some tuning. Regarding the colors though, the red warnings on green don't exactly mesh well. I often had trouble figuring out if it was a tree or log due to the red-on-green. Perhaps, since its a forest, you could darken the grass and background some, or change the warning icons to a more noticeable color variant? Medium shaded Yellow with a black border might be more noticeable in this case.


(still more spoilers here guys and gals)
Overall, everything looks nice. Though I should say that some sprite-editing is in order for Lily, at least enough so that it matches herself somewhat. It just seemed a little silly to me seeing her talking icon not match up with the sprite. Then again, as a personal gripe, I never really did like a large number of the P:MD sprites... one of them being Houndoom's. He just walked really funny, and I didn't like it in the game... can't quite say I like it much in your game either, though I could say differently during the chase. A little editing here and there should remedy that though, I surmise. So far, some good progress. I'm hopeful that the next installment(s) come out a bit quicker once you have everything solidified for the gameplay and then are able to work on cutscenes at a relatively peaceful pace.





.... omgwalloftexti'msosorry ;n;

.... ohjeeze I just noticed that there's an option to turn off the crys >_>;

Well, hrm... I suppose you could keep them in there, but still... it'd be nice for effect, i guess x-x;

thank you for the interesting feedback.

You do bring forward many good points in your comments.
gameplay mechanics, I may not be able to change that point you made there. I'm not sure if my character rig would allow that, but I'll looking into it.
pokemon call: yea, it can be turned off, but I was thinking of turning the volume on them down too.
The map: er... I didn't really put much into it when I put it in. I do have plans on making a better map screen tho.
esc, I planning on replacing that action with a pause menu.
chase scene, I see your points there and they will be applied.
sprite-editing, ... I did do sprite editing for Lily...

well anyway, thanks again for your points.

It is pretty solid for a demo thus far though. Splendid job on it btw :3

Though in regards to the editing on Lily, it might be my eyes deceiving me if that's the case ono; that or it might just not be apparent enough, idk ._.;

I really like the game, especially the story ( as much as the demo allowed hehe ) The vore scenes were really well done. If your planning on doing a "Vore Room" for the Extras area please allow for it to play out the vore scene as in the text that goes with it or just have both a Vore Scene version and a just vore version, I'm only mentioning that because I really like the text and characters reactions to being vored to doing the vore to another. Also I'am curious will there be more heroine type characters we can play as besides Lilly the Mightyena? Like maybe a Ninetails, Ponyta/Rapidash, Miltank, or maybe a Glaceon. Just some ideas oh and almsot forgot will that Foatzel we saw earlier in the game play a role at some point?

glad you enjoyed it.
I will consider your suggestions for the Vore Room.
there are three more characters which will be playable later on. what Pokemon they are has already been decided, but thanks for the ideas.
Dinora the floatzel does play a important role in the story too, she's not playable, but still important.

Who are the pokemon who have been decide? I can tell one of them though is a tododile?

Other then Lily the Mightyena, there is Mark the Zangoose, Tommy the Totodile, and Archie the Arcanine.

Very well done. I don't do many vore games, some of the one's I've played are well executed and many others, not so much. This game however I came in with low expectations (sorry) but was pleasantly surprised. I myself am not a pokemon fan, but you've done a good job giving the characters personality. The Interactive scenes are great. Anything about bugs, or issues that I would have come across have been mentioned. So with that, great job. Can't wait to see more.

The demo is great!

In the library room, I found a typo by book of :The Xatu Tribe:

"No one knows where the Xatu came from. some pokemon beleve/believe..." I cut out rest of the sentence because I want to point out where typo is located.

I don't want to spoil the one of moments, but I had to laugh when Pidgey make a joke to another Pidgey - it didn't went well

Silly Lily xD

I am not sure if you are aware more on Marblestone town, but I see that one of two Nidorans have incorrect color compared to dialogue picture of them. But I can't tell which one belongs from white to either light purple or pink.

Look at this picture http://tinypic.com/r/34sgwo6/6

The position were I stand can't move foward like I am hitting against a invisible wall (that is the area before I came into crossroad area between Marblestone's entrance and FreeFire town <Scenic pass> when you can only enter after scene of bracing landing of alien ship)

Sorry if I post like multiple times in my quote, since I can't edit the existing post unless I have prepared all together, but when I discover new...

Oh, and by the way I will find out if Bonus Stage will work when I manage to find first three easter eggs. But it happens that chase of Arcaine will freeze if I don't have all 5 Easter Eggs found?

Maybe it's just me that I can't get Bonus Stage to work, unless I did something wrong. I almost made it in one go, but I didn't finish the boss fight just in time, which it makes me to load the third save game (but I closed the game since I wasn't happy I didn't make it for 5th easter egg in one row) but after two times and managed to get it (again), went back to main menu, going to bonus stage and the screen didn't happen continue after I got challenge from Arcaine. So i get the feeling in order to get Bonus Stage working correctly is that I have to from scratch to end well without closing the gaming, right? Because loading save games will not solve it.

...and my curosity have destroyed my changes getting 5# easter egg, where I fell unexpected into pit that leads to Abra for second time, but he teleport just in FreeFire town area that is couple areas away where I am suppose to get the last easter egg, it's like a slap in my face

(No save)

Great job, I like it a lot. The story is good so far, I like Lily, the boss was nicely challenging, and both vore scenes were very good.

I don't know if you need any other artists, but if you do, I would certainly be willing to help. I've got quite a lot of spare time coming up and would love to help, so I could do quite a number of arts for the game if you're interested.

just downloaded the game.. having tons of fun ^w^. Nice work here 8D. Will lily let u out owo

No, I get it. I can't play the bonus stage in this demo. What a shame

I will then assume what first scene of second demo look like, a continue from Lily's storyline after with her and Arcaine fell into their pits to underground tunnel system.

Oops, never mind. I finally got it work after pressing a button that will activate the chase, but it's not q,e,space, enter or almost any button EXPECT around O and P, I think.

And...what's this? just one more Easter Egg where it might be located--

Oh wow, I cannot believe it!

i hit the p button and it started owo

No problem ^^"

But I haven't notice that ZackFox101 actually posted earlier for the Extra Stage solution.

Wow, don't judge a book by its cover, or an idea for a game until you've tried it XD

I will admit, after seeing many vore game iterations in the past, I wasn't going into this with high hopes, but I was quite pleasantly surprized~ (still looking for a 3d pokemon vore game x3 but I guess I'll eventually make it if no one else will!)

I like where the story is going. I like the characters so far~

The gameplay varies which is nice! There are only a few complaints I have and one of them, as others have said, backtracking. One thing you don't want to do in a game is waste a player's time. Having to go through the same obsticles again and again on the same level can get really boring. I found myself just running through voltorbs rather than solving the puzzle XP

The one river area was REALLLY laggy for me, and I noticed in the comments, it seems to be for many others as well.

I'm not a fan, myself of the typewriter sound effects with text dialogue especially if I've already read it and can't skip through the text info. I suggest a way to speed up text speed.

Again I'm a big fan of the characters and I love the reaction you gave Lili when she ate the houndoom x3 that was priceless! Also, the vore scenes are neat~ I really like how you pause the game and allow the player to struggle if you're eatin x3 I know the player doesn't control the boss but I kinda wanted to jiggle lili's belly around after houndoom was eatin to XD

That leads to a few questions:

Are you going to show digestion in this game? Or side step it? How far do you plan to take the vore trip?

Can you eat other pokemon besides bosses or aliens? Will there be an option to "vore" a fainted pokemon you've taken down?

That's definitly one thing I never see in a pokemon vore game, usually the vore is simply at the end of boss battles and I understand why for the most part, they don't want their characters seen as the evil voraphiles so they can only eat the bad guys. But that's half the fun of vore IMO~ being able to goble up any and everyone x3

I know it's against alot of "good guy" character types but a funny scenario is that you have a few pokemon blocking the way annoyingly... you could just gobble them up with the vore key, press another key to digest, and be on your way X3 (or maybe, if the two blocking the way were arguing, and you gobbled up one, the one that wasn't gobbled up will rub your belly as appreciation or something XD ) obviously you want to prevent main character ingestion, like lily would think to herself that she does not want to eat her brother.

Though, maybe you could give the player that option XD but it would cause a game over XP

Actually that's another neat idea, allowing players to eat whoever they want but have actual reprocusions, like if you eat too many non-alien pokemon / bystanders then a meter will go up and one too many will lead lili into the dark side of vore x3 which could then be game over, aliens take over the world yada yada

It also depends on how you work the vore fantasy in this universe, maybe there's a way for the bystanders to come back after eating them. Or maybe you just can't digest them but you can swallow them x3

In anycase, the point is it would be really fun and neat to have vore be a usuable ability through the whole game and to have many options and ways to use it!

Anyhow, that's my two cents, keep up the great work! I'll be looking out for the next demo :3

... now I would love to see you end up making that vore game, I like the way you think |3

Thanks for the feedback!

I would love to see a 3D Pokemon vore game as well, but I can only work with what I have, right?

yes, I am going to show digestion in the game. I don't know what you mean by vore trip, but if you mean how long till Lily digest the Houndoom. it will be rather fast.
as for voring Pokemon out of battle... I really do thought behind what you said there. however I don't think I could use all these concepts in the game.
like you said, it depends on how I work vore into this universe... maybe in time the main characters will be given an OK to vore wild pokemon.
I'll have to do some more thinking about adding more vore...
...
I was thinking of a boss rush stage near the end of each character's storyline were you can vore Alien Pokemon after Alien Pokemon.

As a fellow game designer I have to say its well put together. As a fellow Mightyena enthusiast I have to applaud the primary protagonist being a Mightyena! Unfortunately, being a fellow game designer, I have to give critique on things to hopefully see it get better. So here's what I got in the 20 or so minutes of gameplay before I found out a huge flaw.

1. Give an exterior to the library. You open the game with a black screen and text. The LAW of any media is to capture your audience in the first few minutes, or you've lost them forever. Wanting to give you a good critque is what kept me going, and the hope of a vorish game as well.

2. Gameplay explanation is unnecessary. Your players aren't scrubs that just climbed out of their bomb shelters after 50 years. We know how to play a game if you keep with the common control mechanics, which you have.

3. Text needs the option of immediate finish. Most gamers dont want to read the story but rather just play the game. Of course, the accidental talking to a character multiple times shouldn't be a punishment to wait for the text to finish, then get to leave.

4. Text doesn't need sound. Yes it's nice to know that the text is being put on the screen, but its not necessary and gets distracting the longer you play.

5. You have spelling errors quite often. Read and re-read your text.

6. There are zoning disconnections. Once I entered another area, I couldn't go back to the previous area.

7. Wild pokemon can't be knocked out. I sat Biting and Shadow Balling a wild Weedle for about 5m trying to get it to die before I realized it wouldn't. That takes away from the central game, being a Pokemon game, pokemon should fall to you at some point.

8. There's a lack of playability during some portions of the game when you're telling the story. You never want to take away from the game play when telling the story. If you want to progress the plot, do it in the most minimal way so the player can jump back into the game play because we are playing your game to PLAY the game, not read a book. Games are the hardest medium to write for because you CANNOT write a linear story as in traditional story telling. You MUST give the player goals in the story progression to aim for, but not give every detail of the story before that goal. Tell the player what to do, where to go like you did in the library. That's perfect game story writing. In Abomusaw's house was bad. THere was too much.

9. You have several proportion errors. Your exterior buildings are microscopic compared to your Pokemon sprites, as well as being super tiny compared to their interiors! Scale the buildings to be larger.

10. Again, your interiors are far too large compared to the exterior of the building. As a rule, your interiors should be no larger than 3-4 times the size of the exterior sprite. The way it is now is like entering a refrigerator box and inside is a sports complex!

11. Finally, the hugest, biggest, most annoying function of the game.... The Esc key. Never ever ever ever should any game just quit with a single button push. Period! There should be a prompt "Do you want to quit?" just in case, like me, you accidently hit the button.

I plan on playing again to see what else there is to the game, but the upset of being forced to start from the last save point has me not wanting to play for the moment. If you need any help Im happy to help and give advice, just give me anote.

thank you for your feedback.

First. Pokemon Vs Aliens was made using Game Maker 8.

you did bring up very valid points.

1. I made the intro cutscene to be the eye-catcher here. If I need to replace the black screen... Maybe I'll add a picture of Lily and Nickelie walking to the library, unless you have another suggestion.

2. I know, everyone hates the Voltorb level... (forever alone voltorb)

3. the Space bar is the text advance, and it's become apparent that I need to point that out in game.

4. Text wise... it was because of playing Phoenix Wright that made me want to add sound to the text. heck, it's the some sound effects as in Phoenix Wright! Maybe I'll play around with sound there, maybe lower the volume or see what it's like off altogether.

5. Spelling is not a strong points. I often use google to find the words I'm looking for. I am planning on having a copy of all the in game text to a word file or something of the like.
I think that would help in more ways then one.

6, 7, and 11 ...I'm sort of limited, not by the tools I use, but by my own knowledge on how to use it. things like backtracking field areas, I don't know how to do. (I have come up with a technique to do that in dungeons tho, but that base on the levels being on top of one another.) not being able to knocked out Wild pokemon, it get to me too. the main reason wild Pokemon don't fall is because I don't know how to give each one their own health value. I'm planning on experimenting with new enemy setups to try to fix the that issue. The Esc key, I didn't know it would be a problem. I am planning on changing that to be the pause button but again, I don't know how to set one up. on top of that, I know very, VERY little about coding. I do think I can get more out of Game Maker if I knew code, but I can't seem to write code correctly. I can do simple things like re-sizing and transparency codes but beyond that just leaves me confused and frustrated.

8. thinking about that really makes me see that. In a nut shell, keep the player in control as much as passable and keep non-controlling sequences as brief as possible. like when you first meet the Floatzel, instead of having Lily fallow the Floatzel on her own, the Floatzel says "follow me" and walks, having the player have to follow the Floatzel by his (or hers) own will. like that?

9, 10. the buildings are from the gameboy advance Pokemon games. when I first placed them, I thought were ok, but lately I've been thinking about designing custom buildings to give the game a more original look. (the also applies the the background/tilesets .) The interiors were starting to get to me too. I look at Abomusaw's house and think "is all this space really necessary?". remodeling some of the interiors was already on my to do list. however I don't know if I will be able to stick the that "3-4 times the size" rule you said.


well, thanks again. Maybe you can give me some more pointers or suggestion if you wish.

Oh so its GM8 huh? I'm actually using GM: Studio to make quite a few of my school projects and even personal games. Game Maker is a finicky beast. Being a scrub to it will make this extremely painful I will say because the things you want to achieve are going to require coding, and a lot of it. Like I said I'd help if you like, just let me know. Creating a video game is no easy feat, much less by yourself. I know, I've done it my entire game designing life!

Here's your first suggestion though, I assume you're new to game making, and I also assume you haven't made a Design Document for your game so: Make a Design Document.

Also, what game tool are you using. Judging by the static world objects its RPG Maker, but perhaps something else?

nvm i found out why i couldn't leave it was because i did not have mikelie with me

I truly enjoyed this demo, and I'm looking forward to the next demo.

By the way, I forgot to say this in my other comment, but the scene where Lily eats the Houndoom is awesome. Not just because of the vore, but especially because of her hilarious and cute reaction.

Yeah, she is also into awkward position like she has been busted from behind, if you see what I mean.

For the first demo I'm fairly impressed. There's not too much for me to say other than what's already been mentioned earlier.

Someone mentioned healing before the boss and that would be fairly simple to add: nomming the special gem would restore your health along with making you special =p
If you wanted to add a save point there you could have her duck into an area to hide, thinking she's safe, and it just happens to have a save point. After trying to leave the alien could ambush her and surprise her, causing her to fall down the stairs at which point the scene would proceed as normal.

I really do hope you find a way to incorporate vore into the game portion itself, not a lot of vore games I've seen in this way seem to do that, really. A simple way would be to have enemies that act as berries, they could be able to hit you from afar but if you get close you could nom them and regain some health |3

Don't know what you're planning for being able to call characters to you or keep them put. Perhaps have some traps where there's only enough time for one person to get through, so the other has to stay behind and you have to time it so they can get past when you call them... maybe?

As for defeating the monsters on the way, you could simply say that 'fighting all the enemies would be a waste of valuable time so you stun them and walk past.' if those enemies really were there all the time that's probably what I'd do in that situation, I wouldn't want to fight them every time I wanted to go to the store, I'd just get away from them =p

I do like the characters quite a bit, the story is probably the best part of the game so far. However, remember that this is a game, the gameplay should be enjoyable or else it's just a tedious slog to get from one plot point to the next =p

glad you enjoyed it.

for the healing at the boss part. I'm thinking about placing a few berries around the field. That, and I might slow down the Houndoom's fireballs a little, some people were saying they were to fast, plus it would make it easier to eat the berries.

what you and Roco said got me thinking on how I can incorporate more vore into the game. I think I might be able to do that enemies as berries idea you had, thanks... but I'll need some more time to think out the idea and how it would work in game.

I hope you're able to come up with something, even if it is really basic: it would be more than what most other games have come up with |3
You could also incorporate enemies that can nom you and drain your health and you have to struggle to escape, I'm sure some people would enjoy that |3

In any case I hope you continue working on this, about how much free time do you usually get to work on it anyways?

Oh, I almost forgot a bug I found: it seems turning off pokemon calls disables all game sound?
If you want to make the scenes where you lose control and follow someone faster you could make the characters move quicker than they normally would... do you know how to program NPC's to stop at intervals and wait for you to catch up?

Since vore is sort of one of the main themes of the game, it definitly should be a gameplay mechanic me thinks! But at the same time you'll have to design it carefully as, say, if you simply just allow the ability to nom enemies then it would be as exciting a gameplay use as biting that's already in the game... in that it's just a quick button press with no real implications other than it helps you get around an obsticle.

Ideas I've juggled with ozy has already mentioned, if you get eatin yourself then you can struggle to get free.

Also, maybe don't let pokemon eatable until you beat them? maybe they'll faint for a time and if you don't nom em up then they'll just revive after a while (this could lead to some interesting vore puzzles where you have to think on your feet because of all the dangerous enemies or obsticles and time it right where you faint one pokemon, have to faint another quickly before you can nom either of them and be able to progress)

in the extra stage (which by the way I love XD I just wish that I would be able to save after that because the bonus and extra stage vanish if you load or start another game XP ) it is shown that it takes a while for pokemon to digest and that it slows the player down. This could be a very important element to. Maybe it takes but a button press and a few seconds to digest a pokemon and if you're hit the pokemon is coughed back out. Or, maybe it takes longer and you have to rest for the day, maybe stomach capacity could have limits that could increase over time (this though does run into limiting the player only to a few noms before he/she has to go back to a town or save point or whereever they can spend a night and digest)

So again, there are many ways you can go about incorporating vore into the game mechanics rather than being a reward for winning or loosing. Allowing us to play the vore part would be really fun~ it's actually why I like loosing to houndoom and the secret boss the most in the entire game~ I think that's the greatest enjoyment for me~ (second to lili's surprize after nomming XP and third to her running with a digesting belly~)

The reason being, even if it's limited to 5 key strokes and 5 corresponding reactions, I get to control what happens in that vore instance~

(my own idea whenever I get to it, when I start my game, is to make a game similar in gameplay style as a mix between Devil may cry and bayonetta. So there would be some fun combat and the "finishers" like they have in those games would be vore instead~ I'm more of a fan of platformer games so I'd probably design some unique platforming puzzles around vore and other things x3 )

oh and lastly, one little bug, sometimes if you run ahead of your lil brother, and turn a tight corner, he'll clip through the obstacles to get to you. It's not wholly a big deal, just seems strange sometimes. Much better than having your partner "Stuck" on a wall and slowing you down.

Like I said, I am working on a concept to incorporate a vore mechanic into the game for non-boss nummyness.

Both you and Ozy do have some good ideas. However, the world I've made up and how I make use of vore within the game does make it difficult to add non-boss related vore.
When a Pokemon is eaten, that Pokemon is considered gone. none of the Pokemon that have been eaten will have a chance to be coughed back out.
The portions where the main characters are digesting and the time it takes to digest the Pokemon are story scripted too.

The concept I'm working on will allow for Wild Pokemon to be nummed, but not peaceful Pokemon. This vore mechanic will probably not be available until later on in the character storylines instead of once you get the vore ability.

I still gotta work out the fine details with this concept. If it works out, the mechanic maybe featured in the next demo. =)
thanks Roco and Ozy for kicking the idea into play!

Nice game. The easter eggs where a nice touch (still working on getting the boss fight one (i SUCK at doing perfect runs) but I accidentally managed to figure out how to unlock the rest).

I might give messing with it under WINE a wurl to see if there are any settings or DLLs that making it work better.

Can wait to see more. I will reply with a full review when i get that easter egg or just give up.

Also to Lily: I think you should keep Zack in there at least till i manage to get this last egg. XP

Very nicely done, I couldn't put the game down 'til I had gotten through each and every easter egg (about 3 playthroughs, overall). The cutscenes and chase minigame in particular were definitely my favorite parts, very nicely done with the scrolling screens and detail into the overlapping background layers, really helps add depth to a 2D game! ^^

Of course, as I see has been mentioned above, the river part of the route was a bit laggy for me, and the backtracking a tad tedious, at least until I noticed you could just run through the voltorbs, as long as you could take a rough half-health hit, saved time there in future runs, hahah! XD

So, I suppose the "puzzles" (if you would classify them as such) could use some work, but the enemy patterns, varieties of gameplay, and story all do remarkably well to make this a thoroughly enjoyable first demo, bravo! =D

Hmm... is it dumb to ask if Dinora will get any vore scenes? X3

If Dinora gets a vore scene... hmm... Is pending... There is a character trait I have in mind for her, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna go for yet.

Floatzel vore be my fav :p also the character aint half bad either

I want to rewrite some of the dialogue between Lily and Dinora to help draw out Dinora's character better.

Weather Dinora does get a vore scene or not, I will be adding a Floatzel boss battle to one of the other character's stories. =)

yay, also I'm on bonus stage, none of the keys seem to work to get it to start :c

when it says "press any key" press P, I set it up that way for testing proposes. and I forgot to set it back.

Not even "p" works :c

5/5

Dat EFFORT! My goodness, I was thoroughly impressed. At first I was a little offput by the usual pokemon graphics, but... it's very clear you've put a lot of time and effort into this. It runs incredibly smoothly, isn't bug-ridden, the grammar is actually well done; and while it can be a bit slow at times, I really do look forwards to future installments. An excellent show.

Bugs I found: Press H while in a conversation and you'll go deaf for a couple of lines.
...that's about it, really.

Looking forwards to more! You've definitely earned yourself a watch.

One question, ZackFox101.

Are Easter Eggs I found stored on Save Files or do I need to replay every time?

I am having an issue playing it. I might just not have anything that plays .rar files. Can you suggest something that does play them?

.RAR files are an archive format, like .ZIP files.
You need a program that can extract them, like WinRAR, or (my favorite, plus this one's free) 7-zip. You can get the latter from http://www.7-zip.org/
Once you extract it to wherever you like, you should be able to play the game by running the "Pokemon Vs Aliens - The First Demo.exe" file you'll get.

Hopefully that helps you!

It didn't give me an extract option (I have 7-zip already) but I'll find a way.

Ohmygod this is so good!
No, really, I've seen very few fan-made games like this that have this level of quality, especially the vore ones.
And I'm already in love with your characters, haha. <3

I read through every comment to make sure I wasn't bringing up something already said, and I think someone mentioned everything I noticed except one thing.
When you hit an enemy to stun them, if you hit another while the first is still flashing, they'll both recover at the same time, making the second one recover almost instantly if you're unlucky.
You might have already noticed this, though, since you said you're having issues giving each enemy their own variables...having each enemy have its own timer for the stun duration would fix it I think.
I've messed around a bunch in Game Maker before, although lack of motivation has prevented me from actually doing anything worthwhile...but making games is kinda what I want a career in, so I could try to help if you like. I'll see about giving each object its own personal variables, I know you can but I don't remember how, or how complicated it is...
At the very least I really want to support this project in whatever way I can! ^^

I really mean it, I love the game already, but I think you have the potential to make it something truly amazing. ^^

"When you hit an enemy to stun them, if you hit another while the first is still flashing, they'll both recover at the same time, making the second one recover almost instantly if you're unlucky."

It was indeed not mentioned before and you made a good point I have also encountered this glitch, but I couldn't make an explanation.

Nice game, I really love it.><
I will be waiting your new version update. >W<

I disagree with the people who want to heal before the boss battle. I think that would be a bad decision. As it is now, Houndoom is a nicely challenging boss, but not too hard. It takes a few tries to defeat him, and that is good. Allowing you to heal, or making his flames move slower or something will just make you breeze past him, when he's supposed to be a challenge as a boss. It would also make the chase stage pretty pointless and amazingly easy, because unless you really try to fail, you won't lose all your HP just in the chase. Right now it's a nice warm-up challenge wittling down your health a bit before the boss, meaning you have to try your best to be hit as little as possible, but if you were allowed to heal afterwards you would only need to make sure you survived it at all, which is really easy. I'd say leave Houndoom as it is, which is pretty perfect right now.

Agreed, it would be nice to be able to skip the cutscene on retry by putting a checkpoint after it.

i REALLY want to see what happens next , its such a great game ,so great....i want mooooore @.@

Just finished playing it, I was immensely impressed with it all, how it flowed, how it looked! Some really interesting stuff and I love the interactions, I'll definitely keep tuned in seeing this growing great work!

Ah I did notice one thing, sometimes when you got to the spinaraks and webs, the player would look disoriented, like quite pixelated, I can take a screenshot if that would help. Thats my only criticism, but besides that great work! Looking forward to seeing more

I don't know how I did it but I somehow unlocked all four characters. Checked one, couldn't do anything, then checked the bottom right and it eventually hit an end of the currently available scene/dialogue and of course couldn't go any farther.

You've put some remarkable amount of work into this. Any chance of there being bovine pokemon in there? Bouffalant? Tauros? I'm not asking because I'm a minotaur. Nope. not at all... ]:8)

btw what's with the c v b and u keys? ]:8P

A Xatu after you left the town with library (I lost the name for a reason) will explain with C function.

The B/V/U keys is, what you hear soft barking and whatever the ring sounds were, is probably nothing useful unless it's for testing purposes in next updates, I dunno.

And yeah, for some reason I also got 4 playable characters unlocked (bio-read only) once and I want to try any possibilities how again.

The barking keys were added just for the fun of it. The sound effect used for the barks actually came from my favorite game, Okami. =P

"U"nlock is for testing purposes...

Of course, I should have known for "fun" part with barking sounds, because I made moments for it

I don't have any bovine-like Pokemon set in place yet but it is a possibility.

I can't hear any sound, is it my computer?

and how do I pause?

sound works now, but I do now know how to puase still, sorry for spamming X3

sorry, making a pause feature has been kinda difficult. so at this point, there is no pause button.

I understand, thank you :3 and I like that picture of lilly with a big belly <3

I found an exploit in houndoom chase, stay to the farthest left side possible and avoid everything.

but also, at least a checkpoint after the chase please? I have to go through it 5 times at least, of cutseens and other things.


I love this game so far though <3

but its fine :3

I think you should put a Liepard as a playable character. Also, any tips for beating the boss fight? I can never manage it D:

i get that already, but STILL...

I used the button on the left only, and hovered around at the bottom dodging fire until he was closing on the spot to shoot him, still dodging the fireballs. If you get the timing for it down it's quite easy to have a perfect run.

http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/ep.....c-or-extrinsic

This is a good video to watch! Actually, all their videos could definitely help you out! Extra credits is an amazing show :3

I want to play this game but the download wants me to download it with and play it on Adobe reader, what should I play it on or how to switch it to it?

It definitely shows that you put a lot of effort into making this game. The visuals and art are very good, as well as the animations, and I enjoyed playing through the game (for the most part). Your story sounds like it could expand into a deep and eventful story as well, so it will keep things interesting.

I do have a point of criticism though.
There were a few things in the game that were pretty drawn out, namely the Voltorb panels. The second to last room that contained them was pretty tedious to trek through multiple times.
The length of the running section I can understand though, as it is meant to lower your HP for the boss, but if you lose to the boss, it is not all to fun having to do that part again.

Keep up the good work though!

How do you download this demo? ovo

HAH...finally beat it. I'm looking forward to that Arcanine and his awesome theme song :3

Also, just a tip...maybe add a health bar for bosses so you can keep track of THEIR health, compared to your own?

I must say, I've played various fan-made vore games, and pokemon games. But this is, by far, the most promising one I've gotten my hands on to date.

Also, looking at the credits and reading a bit of the backstory of the guardians... Is this an unofficial sequel to the Voremon game? :V

Amazing game, I cant wait for the full version. The only problem I see with this game is that sometimes you cant move and the lag that is in the game. The music cracks way too much.

The game runs perfectly on my computer, a three year old box with Windows 7 64bit. And I like pretty much everything in it, with two exceptions: The point where you have to run back and forth again and again to blow up all the voltorbs, and the fact that I seem clinically unable to beat the boss fast enough to get the final easter egg. But that last one is just me being as slow as I always am.

And the animated vore screens are just great! Even if the control overflow problem made me at first think they didn't work.

Looking good so far. The number of grammatical and spelling errors in the help files and in game are in need of some work, but that's only a minor concern. I did feel the weevil, spinarak, and beedrill dodging to blow up voltorbs was a touch too long at the last set, though. Might be overkill on the berries too; I never needed them. :P The chase scene was fine and easy to pass untouched, and I used similar tactics that I used in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin to figure out the houndoom's pattern and dodge the fireballs until he was within the required distance to still dodge and push the button.

I was unable to make transparency work after Lily's vore scene, yet intentionally losing to the houndoom had preferctly working transparency oddly enough.
It would be neat if later on you can unlock the vore scenes in the extras area. Now I have to go figure out where it said that extra furret was I must have either missed or was not available the first time, though I'm unsure if reloading a save or starting over is required.

I enjoyed the demo, can't wait to see the full game :3

Just finished it, was quite fun and enoyable, looks promising. :3c

Don't have a whole lot of feedback (Voltorb puzzle seems to be covered right about now, lol.)

However, could do with a save point and berry in between the chase scene and boss battle. Starting a boss battle without full health is a bit of a handicap, least if you don't get perfect score at the chase scene. I know you can remember the pattern after a few tries, but it'd be nice to have fair chances the first time around, y'know?

Second, during the boss battle, the unresponsive arrow keys coupled with very tight narrow paths (and less than 100% health) made it virtually impossible for me to beat the boss. << I'm too used to not having to let go of one key and then press another, but it could be easily solved it you have some way of taking cover or just have a more open battlefield. More often than not I got hit by a fireball because I just got cornered and had no place else to go. Again, you can probably figure out the whole pattern after a few tries, but then there should really be a save file between both battles. That's about it.

Overall was nice to play and the variety of puzzles and such were quite fun, so I'd definately like to see more. :3 And I'd like to see what happens if I actually beat the boss, too. x3 Keep up the good work! Like where this story is going~ <3

thanks for the feedback.

I do plan on making the Houndoom boss easier, since it is the first boss and all.
I do believe I've found a way to make the controls more responsive, and I am considering opening up the battlefield.
There is also a concept I have been working on concerning restarting the battles.

Goodie!

I have to say after retrying it and really trying my best I was able to beat him by the skin of my teeth and unlock the special stage, but it was still heart poundingly hard. Also I managed to unlock the special stage by only hitting him with the left pump and even missed him once or twice, is that normal? *saw what you told Canienwriter*, just wanted to check if it functioned OK :3c

Restarting battles would deffo be a nice touch. The controls just take getting used to, so dun focus too much on that. Concerning this boss maybe just create a more open battlefield, have him fire less or slower, or have some object you can use to hide behind in cover in between pumps, or something? Just suggestions really. :3 But I like it a lot so far, looks great. :3 Keep it up <3 if it were a full fledged retail game Id buy it ;3

What the heeeeck.

I have a pretty good computer, all things considered. But running your game, the sound was slow and crackly and I quickly learned your game was being a MASSIVE memory hog for my system. So much so that I couldn't even manage to close the game out; I had to hold down my power button to hard-shut-off my computer because nothing was responding.

The issue definitely seems centered around my sound. I tried disabling my speakers and suddenly everything un-locked-up during my second attempt. This is weird... How is this game programmed in the sense of sound?

The sound is programmed into the game file itself through Game Maker.
I'm not sure why the game is such a memory hog.
My computer is a monster, so the memory thing really caught me off guard when I tested it on some of my other units.
I'm thinking if I can get the game to use external files for Music, Sound Effects, Backgourds, etc, that may make the game easier to run, but first I need to figure out how to code for this.

I have more to say, but it's so much that I decided to just write you a note. <:3 So yeah, I'll continue in my PM.

yeah I couldn't get it to work well either, any ideas on how to speed it up? I already have to wait about 10 minutes for the main menu once I start it.

ok I tried disabling the speakers and it runs smoothly now, and once I got used to pressing only one key at a time it was easy to get through the game, the only hard part was the chase scene, I finally just stayed to the left to keep my health up.

Quick question, I completed the game and defeated the final boss etc. but there was no extra stage in the extras menu. Is there something else I'm meant to do?

To unlock the extra stage, you need to defeat the boss within a set time limit.
To do this, you must hit the Houndoom with the water every time he passes a hole,
start with the button on the right.

PS: in the extra stage, when it says to "press any key" press P

Ah, defeat from right to left then.~ Thanks a lot. :3

I think it would be smart to have a "Gallery" setting where you could see concept art and vore animations

the fireball hitbox on the last boss to me felt wonky, and game had an absolutely massive amount of backtracking. But besides this, the rest was very enjoyable. looking forward to the next version! An alternative .exe with an easier boss battle overall would also be nice. ><

The same thing happened with a few other people. I'm not sure why the game crashes here, but I'll do my best to fix it.

same here running win 8.1 Crashes after the ship appears : .. <

Might I suggest a temporary fix of a downloadable save file just after the ship crash? It seems that the issue is with the scene after the pokemon watch it falling when it's just the ship crashing on its own. Probably a minor coding issue that occurred when flash platforms updated, but the game was built on an older one, or something like that. I've had it happen with other games that I've played on older computers failing on newer ones. I tried compatibility mode for windows 7, XP Service pack 3, and XP Service pack 2. I can try again with compatibility for vista because I have nothing better to do right now.

i can't even get it to open, just recommends i use Internet Explorer or Torch. Internet Explorer just crashes when opening it and all Torch does is re-download it yet on a blank white screen

Question, IS there a way to beat the Houndoom? I hit him like 9-10 times with the water fountain but he continued to kick my ass and beat me. Not that I minded the following bits. >.>

Just keep hitting him, he should go down eventually.(unless you have a glitch)
In the next update, there will be health indicators for bosses.

This is looking rather nice so far, I haven't gotten far in the demo but I like what I'm seeing. My one thought sofar is the addition of more pokemon to the playable list if you have time. Would be awesome to be able to choose your favorite pokemon, like Ninetails for me.

Though making the Houndoom easier to fight would be nice. I like the berry and save idea myself, I hate having to hit esc and then sit through all the cutscenes and then run the whole forest again.

It looks good. ^^ I do find the controls a bit sticky though, and I find the Houndoom boss a little hard (still can't get pass it). The trouble is there isn't much room to avoid the fireballs, and then the time between them makes it even more difficult. :/ I've tried several times, but I think i'll just give up until it's fixed.

Went in with low expectations as many vore games tend to be... well, you know

Got to say i was pretty surprised with the quality of it, great sprite animations and that chase minigame was done pretty well

Looking forward to any future updates; i'm also going to parrot some of these guys and ask for either a continue option or an ability to replay bossfights

Oh dear GOD this is frigging amazing. Instant +watch.

One thing I noticed, maybe this is just me having had an issue in the download or something but for me the sound came out, erm, bad like all static and weird.

Asides from that fun game overall, lagged a lot in that "River" screen, controls needed a little oiling but nothing else major.

Keep up the great work!

Very well done!

For some reason it stopped working right after I get to the scene where the alien ship is coming down on the town.

However, it is nonetheless very good from what I was able to see, and I'm eager to see a continuation!

For a Game Maker game, this isn't bad at all. It certainly has potential to become something pretty good if you work at it hard it. As for feedback, well, there's nothing I can't say about this that's already been said, but I'll give my 2 cents anyways in a short review.

Story: GOOD
Well, when I see that title, I could already envision how the plot was going to unfold. Almost all of this story that I've seen so far is what I'd expect from a generic sci-fi genre, and has been done quite a lot. Now that doesn't make the story bad, just cliched. And you know what, that can actually be a good thing in some cases. If someone doesn't really have interest in the story, they can skip it and still know what's going on without being lost. So even as generic as this story is, I'll be honest, it's good, but not in the least interesting for my tastes.

Gameplay: DECENT (Game overall) / GOOD (Boss battle only)
When I saw Game Maker, I set my standards to match what I'd expect to see from that game. And once I did that, it wasn't all that bad. Yes, I think most of the berries are used in the wrong way. Yes, I think the Voltorb puzzles could be reworked to be less tedious. Yes, backtracking to previous areas would be nice. Yes, being able to get rid of the on field enemy Pokemon would be nice. Yes, if you lose to the Houndoom, it shouldn't go back to the main menu. Yes, I think there should be more vore moments than with the main villains. There's a lot to say, but I'm not going to bash you too much on these because this is only a demo, but I think the previous comments have given you enough feedback for this area that I don't need to say too much about it. But I will say this, the boss battle sequence was definitely something nice. However there was one thing about it that made it more difficult than it needed to...

Controls: BAD (Directional) / GOOD (Attack)
Yes, I'll outright say it. The controls feel very off. Not only in a boss battle, but in the whole game. I don't know if this is a Game Maker restriction, but it'd be nice if I could hold multiple directional buttons and have Lily go one way for the input override and then once a button is let go, Lily moves in the direction of the button that's still held on. This has been a control staple for many games, and I assume Game Maker can accommodate for this. Also this may be a bit of a nitpick, but I think the game would be better if the character could move faster too, because it feels slow-paced as it is. Also like many others, the last battle with Houndoom is unnecessarily difficult because of the controls alone. I really hope this can be fixed. The attack controls are fine though.

Grapchics: GREAT!
Nothing much to say about this other than the sprites, icons, and cutscenes graphics are done well. I'm happy enough that the alien's designs aren't -that- generic.

Music: GOOD
The music does have a nostalgic feel to them, and I think it's nice. Problems for me though are at times, the music and sound effects can sound choppy. Otherwise, it's all good. Some people don't like the sound of the Pokemon cries and Phoenix Wright text noise, and for me...I don't mind them at all. I suppose I may not care because I expect that you probably don't want to voice act the characters and I like the Phoenix Wright games enough that the text noise doesn't bother me. So I think they're fine and dandy. I also appreciate the cry mute feature.

Overall: GOOD
Despite all the flaws I've noted above, this can become something good. It's a lot better than other vore-themed games I've played in the past. I'm going to be a tad picky by saying this, but I wish that there would be some forms of alternative vore in there in the future. But despite that fact, it's good for what it is, and I would love to see the finished result of this. From what I can see on the character select, I'm assuming the Pokes are going to be Lily, that Arcanine from the end of demo, a Totodile, and a Zangoose. I personally can't wait to play as the Zangoose if that silhouette is one (because my main is one, so there's indeed a bias).

I think that all the positive and negative issues have pretty much been covered by earlier posters, so I will simply say that despite the current shortcomings this game is pretty awesome, and I would be willing to shell out money for it should you finish it to a reasonable degree at least - there are not many vore games around to begin with from what I've seen, they tend to be text based, and I'm a total sucker for feral characters in vore as well instead of the usual anthros. :3 Plus a mightyena or a arcanine is a great choice for a main character IMO.

So, please continue or even ponder a kickstarter of some form to gauge interest!

the only thing that bothers me in the demo is that the picture you get after losing the bonus stage, if the arcanine had just swallowed the maghtyena it would have been fine but he swallows her and the houndoom alien she had swallowed. so the arcanines belly should have been bigger. closer to the fan art akela had drawn. oh and you grammar is really good but I notice a few typos, like prey was spelled pray, species was spelled speices, and simple mistypes like that. But that's normal for any demo of a game lol otherwise it's just like a real pokemon game, but ten times better with vore.

Generally, Pokemon OCs aren't my shtick, but, you've managed to make the main cast so far be tolerable, and even rather likeable.

I'll leap right into the heart of this -

Game play - Simple and straight forward, but it's enjoyable, it has good game "feel", aside from lengthy puzzles with the Voltorbs, and the hiccups with the halting movement. However, I LOVED the Houndoom Chase, I do hope you include other game play styles to keep things fresh.

Though, I do hope you'll allow back tracking in future versions, it is slightly jarring how areas seal off once you've gone through them.

Writing - The shows and games always came across as "child level", so, content-wise I say it fits. Lily has a natural reaction to the fact she "accidentally the whole Houndoom", Nickelie acts like a young kid should, and...well, aside from the typos that have been pointed out, I didn't see anything else to remark on.

Music - It's a broad variety that fits well enough in my opinion, I like the fact there's a range of sound effects, including the damage noise from the Sonic games, and I swear I heard something akin to a victory tune from Mischief Makers...but, I'm being nostalgic~

Graphics/Art design - I have to knitpick on Lily's game sprite, it doesn't have her mane. I understand it's difficult to add details to a small sprite figure, but, it's something to keep in mind.

I'll also add, this game has more than just vore appeal going for it. It "is" a nice addition to the cake, but for a home made game, it's entertaining on its own, too. Best of luck with your project!

Thanks for the feedback!

I have put a lot of time and effort into my characters, and there shall be more to come in future release's.

I don't think backing tracking would work with how the story plays out. There will be quite a number of points where the past roads would be closed off anyways.

Good ear, there was a Mischief Makers tune in there!

Well.... I did modify Lily's sprite, The mane is there but it's not too noticeable.
Recently, I did re-edited Lily's sprite and I must say, the sprite definitely represents Lily now.

Thanks for the luck!

I'll surrender on the back tracking bit, call it a knee jerk reaction from playing Pokemon and Legend of Zelda since a wee'un.

...but, I look forward to seeing the updated sprite!

You're welcome, too! The Easter Eggs were a fun treat!

..Is that final easter egg supposed to close the game, or is that a crash?

The game was set to closed itself after the shadow falls.

Alright, good to know.

By the way...I'm drawing a little bit of fanart for this too, if you'd like to see it.

Of course I'd like to see it. =D

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10505964/

...Please don't hate me for this. I just...Had to frigging do it X3

That furret was my favorite supporting character.

Also it made me smile when the ancient picture was the mana tree from Legend of Mana.

soooo much fun XD
I love any game that involves vore/fat/and or inflation in it even if it's still a work in progress :3
Keep up the good work :)

WHOA! FINALLY got it to work, and I love it! It's really well made, and I congratulate you for that. Can't wait for the next demo!

this is awesome o0o I just got to the part where the aliens are

This game is great
besides the fact you can't skip scenes AND THE HOUNDOOUM IS DRIVING ME CRAZY
other than that, yay!

I know how you feel fun

Finnally beat it

Game Maker? It's been years since I've even touched that engine! But here's what I've noticed from your game:

It eats up way to much CPU time for such a simple game! I've ran Game Maker games on systems older than the one I own now and much slower too, but I've rarely encountered slowdowns and high CPU usage unless I had a very high number of objects on screen at once. (Somewhere around 1,000 if I remember.)

Are you using objects where you could be using tiles instead? Leaving objects activated when they're unneeded? These can all drive up CPU usage unnecessarily and should be avoided wherever possible!

Like I said, It's been a long time since I last used Game Maker, and it's minimum requirements may have changed since then, but I should still know a few things you can try to optimize your game and not have it require an 8-core CPU to run!

While I'm not into vore, I decided to poke at the game out of boredom. Not bad and not focused just on vore. I echo everyone else about a check point between the chase and the fight. I've been cheesing it by hiding along one edge during the chase. Now the fight I've found to be impossible for me to do. I'm a giant fireball magnet for some reason I've given up after 30 tries.

Got linked to your game and gave it a go, really fun to play. Did bring back some memories to the old Nes days with the voltorb quests. guess I am one of few that did not mnd the going back and forth for the small puzzle.

Only real thing i could point out is how easy you get stuck when trying to move. Slightly annoying in the bossfight , but should cme over that part sooner or later once i get more used to the controlls as with any game x3

This game was amazing for demo! Making it in Game Maker leaves me speechless.

Graphic - Good detail on sprite durning vore while rest burrows from game freak. The cutscenes sooooo awesome.
Text - Oh you phoenix wright fan xD.
Music - They all sound good while the first one(intro) i heard it so many times in RPG maker games XD
Gameplay - Shame that those weedles hurt you but you can stun and get pass them.
Suggestion - Perhaps you could add in the bonus contect after beating game viewing the vore scenes.
Story - Intersting so far! Love that cute avatar of him reading that book XD

While the game is like a hallway where you can't return where you came from.
My personal opinion it does feel currently right way to do so at the moment.
To me backtrack would require if there are sidequest or secrets.

Overall keep up the good work! Can't wait for part 2 owo and other chars storyline.

Here's my feedback. Apologies in advance if my feedback comes off as offensive; I don't intend to offend or discourage you or slander any of your work; I want to help the game improve. Overall, I think this game has potential, but I also think a lot of the game's content needs to be reconsidered.

Pros: I liked the vore scenes. The graphics and audio were good. I was caught off-guard when I heard what I believe was a variation of the Mischief Makers boss-complete theme :P

Pacing: If the game is advertised as a vore game, then everything that isn't vore is basically an obstacle. Pokemon is advertised as a game in which you raise and battle pokemon, and you spend the whole game battling pokemon. Zelda is advertised as a game in which you defeat evil and save the world, and you spend the whole game adventuring and defeating evil around the world. This game is advertised as a game in you and Exstroy eat each other, but most of the game is spent sitting through dialog, dodging weedles, and walking back and forth between Voltorb-murdering buttons.

Dialog: In my opinion, nearly all of the dialog seems corny and verbose. I find myself holding the spacebar to skip all the text and then hitting H to see what I was supposed to glean from it. That's just my opinion, though; from reading other comments, apparently other people loved it, so take this feedback at face value.

Story: I'm pretty meh about the story overall, but I do like that the storyline explains why characters are able to eat one another of the same size (and why they might be compelled to do so). There are a lot of holes as far as I can tell, though. If the alien race is invading the planet, why did they crash their death star into the planet in a random location, as if they had no plan at all? How did they lose a vore orb? If they're a race of vorish aliens, why is a vore orb so special/valuable to them? If it's so valuable, why did they send only one person to get it? If the aliens touched ground for only a few minutes, how did one of the natural inhabitants already get eaten, and how did another of the natural inhabitants already pick up that they were aliens and that they could be identified by their vorish tendencies? Some of these could be made into plot points that get explained later, but some of them seem like they can have no real explanation.

Mechanics: The play mechanics are good, but nothing special. The rodent-ridden paths are annoying to get through, though, not fun. The weedles need to be made killable, and the voltorb puzzles should require far, far less backtracking. I turned the voltorb puzzles into a challenge of "how many of them can I sneak past or run straight through without dying, and how much time would it save me?" One thing I particularly would like to know is why pokemon along paths are there to begin with and why they're hostile. I know they're supposed to be obstacles, but it creates a *huge* disconnect about what pokemon are supposed to be in this world. We are expected to believe they are sentient and reasonable and, on the same token, we are expected to believe they are mindless and violent. The human equivalent of a weedle would be a serial murder with ADD and short-term memory loss.

Misc: Game controls should be explained in-game with one image that can be shown at any time (or with a keyboard-mapping window). The game needs to make it completely obvious that statues are save locations. The first boss is too hard. Dying in fields or boss scenes should put you back at the beginning of the scene/field, not the save location.

Again, I apologize if this came off as offensive or discouraging; I don't mean for it to be. I look forward to future work on this game and hope you are rewarded for your time and effort!

First up, Sorry if I come off as snappy here but reading after reading your feedback, I solely believe your judging the game WAY too early. The story presented so far is the Prologue portion, the ball hasn't even started rolling yet silly.

Pacing: I know the pacing can be slow getting the story starts to pick up, but I do know many other great games that have slow starts too.
So again I say, judging too early.

Dialogue: I spend A LOT OF TIME working on the Dialogue. Even though it does need some rewriting. (from my view)
The Dialogue itself will be a VERY important later on for story points, character development, etc.

Story: OF COURSE YOU WOULD SEE HOLES! if I explained EVERYTHING that was going on, why would the player care about the story?
I assume you skipped the intro scene which clearly shows the Exstroy's ship getting hit by a Meteorite. (I do plan on improving the intro scene too)
You may also want to read the Exstroy's Bio page too.
The other things you call plot holes, The vore orb, the Arcanine, the Houndoom, else mentioned ALL WHICH HAS EXPLANATIONS!
I do have friends that do help me with the story. One happens to be a talented a writer, and they do say the explanations are sound.

... I'm sorry but I have run out of energy to continue here... It just feels like you wrote this having no trust with where I'm taking it.

Well I just beat it, and the special stage. The PCE Castlevania music was a nice touch for the special stage, and I loved the entire thing. Can't wait for the next demo, hoping it works out well.

how do you unlock the special stage?

If you beat the whole demo

oh tell me fun

Every time I get to the falling ship, my game stops working, I'm using windows 8.

same thing is happening to a few other people too, I'm working toward a solution.

Is a really good demo. it encorage me to play it again. i can't way to see what happen next.
Really good animation and cut-Scenes. mostly the vore one. i still finding the easter egg at the end of the game but is really interesting the story you made and the extras you add.
i don't doube that many think the same that me.

Really. Awesome work =D

There any way of saving before the chase bit?

not yet.
There will be a retry button next time.

okidoki ty

how do i unlock the special stage?

Defeat the Houndoom as fast as you can,
Start with the button on the right.

Is there something else I need to download to play the game?

No, the game runs on it's own.

Ok but what should I open the game with?

The game is it's own executable program. Just click on the game and it should start right up.

Yay I keep downloading it and all I get is a blank page saying I don't have the right file or the file is not working right.
Do you have another or any other way I can play it or download it?

It's a rar. file so it means you have to extracts manually, do a right click and unzip it (That worked for me)

Ok I finally got the game to play and its quite fun, but I found a few problem with the game, So would you like to hear them?

Just played though the demo and am looking forward to seeing more as the game develops.

I do however very much hope that later versions will cut down on the back and forth through the same room over and over and over again parts.
the controls seem simple enough that most people should be used to them plenty of time before the boss, even if there was no back tracking.

running back once or twice for hitting a couple buttons is fine in smaller rooms, but with how often it was happening, and how far we had to run, I just started running through the voltorbs instead, because it got old fast, and was just plain boring to have to do.

I also found that the chase part and the boss fights seemed to go on too long, without anything to change them up and keep them interesting.
Not to say I don't like long boss fights. but it just feels repetitive if the fight is that long, yet exactly the same the whole way through.

I apologize if I sound nitpicky. I know the game is very early and I just mean to give my thoughts and provide feedback, since I think the game has potential.

Also, I loved her reaction the vore x)

So, I beat the Houndoom and unlocked the extra stage, but when I tried playing the extra stage, the program wouldn't go past the "title" page for the stage (where it says press any key). So I had to close out of the program, and when I re-opened it, all the extras weren't there anymore... T_T I haven't tried re-beating the Houndoom again, but from the way it looks I assume there's no way to keep the bonuses when you earn them, since there's no way to save after beating the Houndoom?

Also, about half of the time when I open the program, the sound doesn't work. Not sure what's up with that.

Really looking forward to the next update!

I find I'm still not able to beat that houndoom. Wondering if the hit box on his fireball is little large, few times I got hit even when it wasn't near me.

Great demo, looking forward to the next update! (whenever that may be)

Great game, can't wait for the next update!

The best pokemon game demo i played so far, I love Lily really, she's like one of my OCs, carring to her little bro i just founded that so cuuuute. :3

I really enjoyed that demo, keep on! I can wait for the next demo or the full game (I may kidding).

The story line is so good, boss fight kinda hard because no checkpoints but still loved that type, losed 2 times before beat him hehe.

Keep on! I know you can do it!
