Aaaand back to feeding KD for a couple hours. |3

Pretty cool

Oooh, I love the RP idea generator!

So, in terms of another boss, I'm creating a what can basically be described as a giant hyena with a right, corrupted shadow claw that uses darkness magic and really just wants to be left alone. You monster. The main theme of her battle would be driving in that this time, you're the villain- she offers you multiple chances to surrender, her quotes and speech points out that you're the one initiating this fight, and she just wants to be left alone, and at the end, you get a sadistic and moral choice, whether or you win or lose. Ain't you just a good person this time around? ;)

Sounds alright. I do like the sound of giant hyenas with darkness powers.

I don't mind the player character being villainous in some fashion or another, but I hope it's not too crazy. I wouldn't want (for example) to imply that the player is a bad person for wanting to download my game and fight the newest boss, you know?

Oh, no, nothing that blunt! I was more or less going to have the player character be more of an anti-hero- you have reasons for fighting her, which, while justified, probably don't condone murder. The only thing that would come close to actually calling you out for being a jerk is either killing her at the end, or doing something else.

Just understand that I'm leery about it. It depends on the context and phrasing. If you send something in, it might be okay, or it might need to be toned down.

Hey playing the game i notice some of the like Alaris and you. Only devour my team a half have health I'd would like it if the did more more often. Cause when the do eat a team mate i usually have a magic rope ready.

Also what does the smoke gernade do.? It would be nice if the help button explained what each of the moves do. I don't really know what the frighter do moves do other than there's a slight chance of missing?

The bosses' moves come mostly down to what the bosses' makers want. I am able to make them use swallow attacks more often. There is a certain risk that they can swallow all the rogues. Now, I can make the bosses prefer not to swallow rogues, or to allow some other escape mechanism if all rogues are swallowed, but all of this has to be individually programmed too.

Here's a recap of all the moves. I may put these descriptions in the game next version.

Fighter:
Fighter attack - Standard attack.
Berserk attack - Larger variance of damage, and can miss outright.
Steady attack - Always does the same damage, zero variation.
Defensive attack - Smaller damage output, but cuts incoming damage by 25%.
Defend - Cuts incoming damage by 50%, and also blocks Relivern's health drain effects.

Rogue:
Rogue attack - Slightly weaker than fighter's attack.
Smoke bomb - Prevents single-target attacks from hurting that target for one turn. No effect against multi-target attacks.
Magic rope - Saves an ally who is swallowed.
Stun grenade - Generally makes the boss miss a turn, but some bosses retaliate if you use too many stun grenades.
Spot Weakness - The rogue's allies do more damage that turn.

Healer:
Healer attack - Weaker than the rogue's attack.
Heal spells - Restores health to an ally. Less effective on swallowed allies.
Shield spell - Cuts the target's incoming damage in half for a couple turns. Can be reinforced (cast multiple times on same target before the last one wears off). Less effective on swallowed allies, but it does halve digestion damage.

You can put a cool down where they can only swallow every 3 to 4 turns. And maybe give the healer smelling salt that make the boss sick and has 20 % puke one of the party members out. And maybe make the smoke grenades last a few turn cause i can't which party member the boss gonna attack.

I'll consider the new moves and the tweak to smoke bomb. I admit it is a bit underwhelming.

The bosses are all unique. Their moves and behavior need to be tweaked on a boss-to-boss basis. I feel like the current bosses are in a decent spot as far as difficulty goes. Swallowing one of the heroes is a pretty powerful move. It takes them out of action and does steady damage each turn, and Magic Rope takes a lot of mana,

Yeah but unless you if you challeging youself you should have more than one rouge and keep the magic rope standby with one of then while use the other for sport. And i do kinda like the risk of the boss sallowing one important chararters like when ate my only only healer and i was like oh crap now i gotta save her cause now there's no way to heal." It does make every charter feel important.

I still think that some bosses should try to nom the team more maybe instead of nomming at half health they could nom at 75,50, and 25% health or 60% and 30%

Bwt i do have an idea for a boss. SCP- 682. I player charter is one of O5 of the foundation when 682 breaches containment so you moblies your task-force aka your friends to push 682 back into his containment chamber. And instend showning signs of getting injured cause 682 is indestructible the it tells how close he is to getting placed back into his cell. He'll have claw swipe for singe oppent and a tail spin to hurt the whole group . he'll auto mon one party member at 75, 50, and 25% health or meters ( since you can't kill him just push him back into his cell) and he also has a nom move where every 3 turns hell slam his tail behind in the middle of the group and push 2 party members behind him . while behind him they can still execute their commands but 682 will nom them on his next turn but if you throw a smoke gernade at one of the party members behind him that party member will successfully avoid getting eating so with rouges you can save both both teammates or maybe make a choice on which one you can save.

Here's some information on SCP 682 https://youtu.be/nFgpevXMk84 i he'll be a fun vore character boss

where did you make this game?

On my computers. With Visual Studio. Coding in VB.NET.

Could you tell me how you made this game with the two. I'd like to make this game but in my own way.

1. Download Visual Studio Community 2017. It is free. https://www.visualstudio.com/thank-.....amp;amp;rel=15

2. Learn how to code in Visual Basic .NET. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic_.NET

3. Write code.

In all seriousness, friend, this was programmed from scratch. I started from nothing and wrote thousands of lines of code. If there's a specific feature you see in my game that you'd like to replicate, maybe I can lend a hand. But I think there are other resources for learning the basics.

Did you put any modifiers on for the VS community?

No modifiers.

how would you feel about adding a Pokémon to the mix?

If someone sent me all of the text for a new boss -- Pokémon or otherwise -- I'd add it in.

I'm not writing anything else for this game though. My creative energies are focused entirely on The Lab.

Hello! I found your game a while ago, and just a few monsters and I am immediately in love with the game! I like how the turn-based battle system makes it feels like a real RPG!

So, dunno if you are still planning on updating this game, but actually I would like to try to submit a monster to the game. I have read your guidelines on how to submit a monster, but I just want to make sure something before I start writing.

1. Is there a format I can write in so it would be more convenient for you?

2. Would you accept other vore types other than cock vore, oral vore and soul vore? Do you accept some other such as tail vore, absorption etc.?


Thank you! Love your game!

Hello back at'cha!

First, to answer your questions. Here's the submission guide for Boss Battles: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7530721/

I would accept tail vore and absorption, yes.

But I'm really focusing on my new game, The Lab, nowadays. I would still accept something for Boss Battles, but because it's all coded in VB.NET, it's much more extra work compared to adding things to Quest. I would try to add any submission in a reasonable amount of time, but make no promises.

I would like you encourage you to submit something for The Lab, if you're going to submit something at all. You can make it as big or small as you want, whether it's a full-fledged predator, or a one-off scene like the Chomper Plant, or a character that follows you around and can be fed to specific predators.

Ok. Thanks for the reply!

It's alright if you want to focus on The Lab. If you don't have the time to add new submissions to Boss Battles, don't force yourself to. If you find my monster too complicated or hard to implement, it's completely fine (though I might not have time to write it now). It's all up to you.

Perhaps after making this monster for Boss Battles, I will try to write monsters for The Lab too! Looking forward to it!

Thanks again!

By the way, in the instruction, it says that the boss needs at least one way to "finish" off a hero. May I ask is the finishing move a vore or an attack? Or can it be both? Thank you!

So, to explain a little, heroes who reach zero health ("Exhausted") can continue fighting. Most of the bosses have a special move that specifically targets an Exhausted hero and eats them permanently.

It's okay to do a damaging attack and then eat an Exhausted hero. That's up to you.

It's also okay for the move that "finishes" an Exhausted hero to not necessarily be eating. Maybe the boss puts them into a cage, and it's during the outro that all five get eaten. The eating should happen at some point, else it's not much of a vore battle.

Alrighty then. Thanks for the detailed explanation!

I like the arbitrariness of some of the vore events.
"Pick a party member to be devoured."
"Why?"
"Because I said so."

Like, everyone just stops stomping a mudhole in some great scaly sod because he asked nicely, just so he could interject. Just feed him the second rogue, I guess, we don't really NEED him.
It's really funny, if you think about it.

Well, that one was meant to be a shout-out to the final boss of Darkest Dungeon. And when that boss says so, you have to listen too.

It's pretty much the exact same situation there (getting it to 66% and 33% health).

Mechanically it works decently.
But without context it's written kinda flimsily. Granted, for your funsy-fetish RPG fighting game, it fits the tone fairly well.

It's just funny that your party goes along with some of these events, ostensibly just because they asked.

Boy, you would hate the final boss of Darkest Dungeon then.

It's just like "Instakill time. Pick a hero." Not even a token attempt at explaining it.

Not bad at all. I enjoyed the hypnotic snake in the jungle~

Glad to hear it.

The game's broken I think. Can't access the file for some reason because my security defender is blocking it.

Begging your pardon, but that doesn't mean the game's broken.

whoops yeah i'm sorry :(

Just asking: Would you consider releasing the source code for the game so that people could make monsters on their own?

I guess I'd consider it. I've been asked that before, but that was when I was still working on it myself.

I'd have some question as to whether anyone would actually make the effort. It's not like Barbftr where animators can make their monster and just plug it in. Making one here requires extensive code editing in multiple places. I wouldn't call it "difficult", but there are a lot of boxes that have to be ticked or something will break.

Sorry if I am being annoying, but are you still accepting submission? I couldn't get the time to write a boss until now, so if you are still accepting enemy submission, I can help write a boss monster.

I'm really not too keen to work on this anymore. It was fun at the time, but it's a lot of work even to add something that someone else has typed up. It's even worse if the new boss were to contain any new mechanics (like Zetsu's hypnosis, which has a lot of moving parts).

If you'd like to contribute something, I'd like to encourage you to contribute for The Lab. You could write a vore scene variation for any existing character, or come up with a new idea and maybe I can fit it in somewhere.

It's perfectly fine. Don't force yourself to do things you don't feel interested in. If you don't feel like doing something, don't force the matter. Looking forward to your great works!

To be honest, you are the best vore game maker I have ever met. Your Vore Boss Battle Simulator is the best vore game I have ever played. Thanks for making this wonderful game!

Just curious: Any way(s) to save a teammate who has been grappled by the sea serpent?

I don't think there is. You have to wait for them to be swallowed, then you can save them with magic rope.

1. For K.D. (you?), does he have a regular Vore move other than the one he uses when his health drops to a certain point? Like, can he swallow teammates before or after this point (other than the "finishing move")?

2. For Zetsu, any way(s) to save teammates who have been constricted, or charmed (other than waiting for them recover themselves)?

3. For Chronos, any way(s) to save a teammate who has been mesmerized by Chronos with his "belly dancer" move? Or is he going to be swallowed?

4. In general, is there a way for teammates to save themselves after being swallowed? Like, if all the rogues in the team have been swallowed, is there any way(s) for teammates (both the rogues themselves or other teammates) to free themselves? Or is the team doomed?

I'm answering these quickly based on memory, not looking at the code or trying it:

1. Nope, only at certain health points and as a finisher. No other swallow attacks.

2. If constricted teammates can't be saved with Magic Rope, then I think no... you have to wait until they're swallowed, then use Magic Rope. Charmed teammates can be saved with Stun Grenade.

3. I think Stun Grenade will interrupt the process.

4. Nope. Swallowed characters can only be saved with Magic Rope or defeating the boss. There is no other way. One of my favorite parts of this kind of vore is being helpless to rescue someone who is in-belly, so it's an intended situation if you have no rogues or no mana.

Ok I know it has been a long time, but would you consider releasing the source code for this game? If possible, I would like to try to add my own boss monster, and I am sure many players would like to too.

I'm more willing to do so now because I have no intention of resuming work on this game, but there's two caveats.

1. I think you're greatly underestimating the amount of work it takes to add a new boss. And I'm the one who already knows how it works. The code is convoluted, inelegant, and inefficient.

2. I'd probably prefer to remove all or most of the current existing bosses so that anyone else uploading their own version doesn't have a bunch of duplication.

It's more work for me to remove the bosses and then provide assistance to people who can't figure out my code. I'm not completely against it, but I'd need a reasonable expectation that any new bosses would actually come out of it. Otherwise it's a bunch of effort for zero return.

I'll post a journal to get a more accurate count of the "many players" who might want this.

Glad you would be considering sharing. It is generous of you.

1. I am willing to try. I know you have stressed that creating a monster a hideous with this system, but with some existing codes as reference, I can try to deal with it without bothering you too much.

2. I think you need not to remove the monster code should you release it. It would be less heavy on both of us, as you would not have to edit the code, while we can use the existing codes as reference.

I would be willing to create as least a monster for the game should you release the source code.

Key KD, I just wanted to let you know, the dropbox link for this is dead, not sure what happened/when

That was very strange. I agree it wasn't working, but all I did to fix it was generate the share link again from within Dropbox.

Thanks for letting me know.

The fix appears to have not worked, all I get is a 404 error on the dropbox link. I don't really have any clue if there is more info I can give to help, :<.
~sorry to be a bother

It's never a bother to report problems.

It seems that I was able to view the file only because I was logged into the account that had uploaded that file, and everyone else was seeing a 404 error. Attempting to delete and re-upload didn't even let me generate a link.

However, it seems that packing it into a .zip file makes it work fine again. I have updated the link in the original description.

All is well!

But the big issue is that PCs block it, thinking it's a harmful app!

I wouldn't call that a big issue. Sounds like a small issue to me. Tiny, even.
