Rogue-Like 0.955
Ok, so here's a little update. It's bug fixes, it's a little new content, it didn't feel worth being a complete new version so I just made it .955. I'd hoped to get this out for Valentine's day, but it wasn't quite ready yet. I sent out links to all currently processed patrons, and will send out another round early next month if I don't have a new version by then. I have a lot of new patrons this month, so I hope you'll enjoy it.
I'm going to give your guys the weekend to find as many bugs as you can, and if there are some real showstoppers then I'll patch them out, but after that I'll start working on the "you've already done this"/"I already told you no!" system, which should make her more cognizant of what she has already been doing, but which will require breaking a lot of things until it's finished, meaning so room for new updates until this element is done.
Features:
-Moar kissing! I added more content to the kissing scenes. This does not unlock immediately on new games, you have to kiss a few times for additional options to open up, but eventually you should be able to migrate from kissing to other activities without breaking scene. You can also just kiss continuously, if you haven't earned other actions but want it to last longer than just "you kiss." This is also useful for the addiction system, where you can use kissing to drain down addiction as much (or as little) as you like in a single action.
-Moar flirting! I added some fun new flirt options. Note that just because you can do something, doesn't mean that you should do it. She'll react differently to these actions based on her stats, and some of the flirt options have relatively high stat requirements to get a positive response, choosing poorly will just piss her off (although this can also lead to some positive results, depending on how you're playing the game). The flirt options also often fill out the addiction options, and can sometimes lead directly into sexual scenes. I'm not entirely done with these, I still want to tweak how they interact with public scenes, and clothing options, but it's a good start, I think.
-Lace bra and panties. These are in, you'll have to buy them first, but after that they should work like any other clothing. Obviously she is more hesitant to wear these out than other looks. I also tweaked the clothing system a bit, it should work better, with her choices making more sense, and the scheduling system not being broken. Hopefully.
-Do to a request, I added the "Daddy" pet name, which has a chance to unlock when chatting after receiving all other mid-tier pet names.
-Various other little things, like I fixed the negative values not showing up properly, a few typos, stuff like that.
There were a few issues people had with the last build that are still around, like getting caught in public is still not where I hope it to be, but I didn't have time to fiddle with that. It's also been pointed out to me that making out in public can trigger the "caught in the act" sequences, which is perhaps an overreaction. ;D

Since everyone else is doing feature requests, I got one. Are you planning on adding male characters/other characters from X-Men that you won't train? Like some random characters that you don't have any control over but could talk to for shits and gigs/realism. Like fill the class with other X-Men characters that you can click on but can only say one thing to. Just fill the shadows in the classroom with actual interactable characters that aren't nearly as fleshed out as Rogue. And maybe add some people in the University Courtyard and Danger Room. Just a thought.
Maybe. I mean, that all takes art, and art takes time from other things. I'd like to get Beast in at some point, I think he can fill some useful plot roles, but so long as it's just me working on it, I think other assets will take priority.
Just going to comment on something I noticed, the economy kinda breaks a lil bit if you're a dick to Rogue and don't sex-i-fy her too much. If you use the Kiss Her Lips flirt to go into breast groping/thigh touching three times a day, then you can pretty well max her addiction rating. When she breaks due to a high level of addiction you can sell her a 'serum' 3 times for a total of $30 bucks nearly every day or every other day. If you char was concentrating on Kitty this could probably break the game later... not saying there needs to be a change or fix right now, but something to keep an eye on.
On a side note here are a few feature requests: Once a player has addiction control and Rogue has max addiction resistance give the player a chance to develop a 'Manipulate Resistance Skill' for 2 points. Also when you go to a level up screen it would be nice if there was a floating info box (like the inventory screen off the backpack) that listed skills that they had already gained. ATM this is only important for multi-level skills, but it keeps things organized. ATM when you back out of a level up menu it kicks you all the way out to the room screen. Maybe change the buttons to read simply 'Return' and go back to the level up choice with a 'Return' or 'Back' button there as well?
I'm gonna put up some ideas and stuff to help with the game or to make the game more fun. 1. Using a map can help a lot and give you a lot more room to add areas and such. A map of the school with different classes, gym, cafeteria, and maybe the principal's office. Map of the dorm building to show characters rooms, the danger room, Xavier's office, and other rooms. Map of downtown or a mall to show shopping locations and maybe Date locations. Different stores for specific needs like a adult store to a book and cologne one. 2. Consequences. Since you are adding more girls it should have problems if you starting to date two or more girls at once without the ok from the first one or the second depending on where you at in game. If her obedience is high enough and asking her if you can date more girls is ok. It makes it more realistic then the girls ok with you sleeping with other girls. For an example if you are seen kissing kitty by rouge or another girl while dating her, she's gonna be upset and comes over to say what's on here pissed off mind. Which will lower the girl's stats and she won't talk to you for awhile. 3. Reputation system. If you bad deeds or something like that gains reputation. High enough reputation will allow you to talk to the brotherhood girls or take jobs from them. Idk if you gonna do the selling you girl for some money is going to happen but the Reputation could help bring more people and rise the price of the girl. Maybe with high enough reputation the brotherhood would help build something inside the school to block Xavier's mind from the a location where some sort of brothel like thing. Maybe have some glory holes to make some quick cash. 4. Storm and Mystique. You could blackmail or do favors for them and give you special rewards. From stripping down to banging them. They could also give you special items. Special outfits for a specific girl.
Also forgot to add. A store that can sale tracker beacons to show where the girls are at but you can choose not to and save money.
I have to say, it's kinda crazy how complete this game feels compared to how many features and work I know is coming up. For the first time ever I played as a jerk and did it all for shits and giggles and maxed out Obedience and Inhibitions while leaving Love stuck at 0. Game really feels different. And that's really cool. :)
In honor of Oni's request... a new comment! So... hush, Oni! Your rooms are pretty and good and pretty good! And I am waiting for the day when you're wandering through the University Square and you hear an explosion, Boom Boom comes pelting past and suddenly Logan confronts you, wondering where she went. :D (So that's why I was offering suggestions on how to tie everything together now, cause I figure why not do it now instead of re-jiggering it all when you do get random events and ambient scenes?) ;) And yeah, flirting is awesome! I will always push for more options there! :D I still wanna snap Rogue's thong strap when she's in class. :P (Speaking of, leggings? Ultra-low-cut jeans that show off straps? More art assets to drive an Oni to insanity, more, more, more! It's all so pretty! Though on the serious side getting Rogue some fishnets to replace her hose seems like something of a simple (hah!) task and would fit into current clothing options.) Also, catching her in the shower, how about a flirt to pull off her towel? :D I will say about flirting/addiction though... maybe I'm doing something wrong. It seems like flirts, even with increased addiction don't ever increase the addiction rate to degree that it doesn't decrease in time with your addiction level. (That is, you can raise one bar by dropping the other, but it's pretty much a wash each time you do it.) Is increased addiction supposed to increase the addiction rate or increase the addiction level each time a point of addiction rate is removed? idk I have trouble with the system. On the flip side btw, the flirts Hug and Rub Rogue's Shoulders should probably pop her Addiction Rate when Rogue isn't wearing an overshirt (touch the small of her back or her shoulders, respectively.) But they don't seem to atm. Also Hug seems OP if you didn't notice my comment before. :D
Also just had a weird buggy thing. I don't know if this is what caused it or not or if I wasn't paying attention... Took Rogue to eat and the movies. In the theater she blew the main char and gulped it down with soda. Since then she's been walking around with a mouthful of cum. :P (Again, something else coulda triggered it and I just didn't notice, but I just noticed.)
DL link soon?
Check your private messages.
I haven't played from the beginning again but it feels really stable. More time is required, but thanks oni!
Good to hear. Each build tends to work out at least a few bugs that have actually been in there for months, so hopefully soon it'll only be new bugs. ;)
this is a great game, i just recently started playing it and so far im loving it
Thanks!
Nothing to do with the game, but because English is a needlessly complicated language, the word you're looking for is "due." "Due to a request, I added..."
True.
This is a really great game. But I am curious how many characters you gonna put in and of those characters that we can have fun with.
Well, the plan is "as many as I can." I will add new characters one at a time until. . . I don't know, everyone gets bored with it and leaves? I love X-Men, and can theoretically branch outside of the X-Men if I felt like it, it's a pretty broad concept, so it's basically infinite. I have clear plans for three characters at the moment, loose concepts for another few, and can keep coming up with new stuff after that (which will likely be a year or two down the road). Once I get two characters down, each additional character should take less time, since the major systems will be in place.
Woohoo! More bugs to find and squish! (Computer bugs.) Yay!
Crash-a-licious! I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/Rogue_DateNight.rpy", line 132, in <module> NameError: name 'R_Leg' is not defined ----------------------------- Prof. X's title is still kinda hard to read. In the initial tour Rogue still says "Nickle" when she should say Nickel. Second time Rogue's addiction hit, she claimed I refused to let her touch me the first time, even though I did. (Maybe an off variable?) Random chit-chat line was that she really enjoyed the taste of the main char's "Serum," even though he's never offered her that option. Grabbing her tit, after she asks if you're going to let it go has an extra text entry which simply states "7", then after you fondle it, "6" etc. etc. (I assume these were left over from testing.) Her hug flirt seems to have an inordinately high stat return for using it. (+5 Inhibition/sometimes +5 Obedience). It seems to me this should probably be a love/small inhibition bonus. (Public Displays of Affection style bonuses.) The slap her ass flirt doesn't seem to give bonuses (outside of lust), or if it does, they seem to cut out a lot faster than the other bonuses. When dressing her, there's at least a "Skirt" text box left over from testing. (Some others too, like lace, etc.) When considering wearing lace panties without anything else she says "Breazy," she should say "Breezy" Her Danger Room outfit includes her shorts in legwear even though they're on the panties layer. (So you could ask her to remove them from the legwear category, or you could replace them in the underwear category.) Unsure if this is intentional. Off of titjob, asking to cum in her mouth uses the text for cum in her mouth without asking. If Rogue starts the day by sucking you off then ask her to get herself off she'll go invisible. (Maybe this bug has reared its head again?) While licking her asshole at various points you'll see the word "Kneed" when it should be "Knead" and "Cheaks" when it should be "Cheeks." (Sometimes I wonder if you put in these bugs so I get to type out these embarrassingly explicit bug reports.) :P After unlocking "Boyfriend," "Lover," "Sir," "Master," "Sex Friend," and "Fuck Buddy;" "Daddy" still didn't unlock.
