About the Bad Endings + Progress Report!
Hello, friends!
Since many of you have been asking me lately, let's have a short explanation about how the "Bad" Endings will work in the game (and why I am using quotation marks), and then let's have a scheduled progress update for already exceedingly lovely Release 3!
Let's keep it simple in points:
Yes, there will be bad endings in the game. They will be fairly rare, however.
There will be repeated and ample warnings before they will happen. These warnings won't be breaking the fourth wall; they will be incorporated into the game properly. And there will be a second protective layer against them: our brave MC's skills. Occasionally, you will be able to use them to get out of an otherwise game-ending scenario. So be wary about what you learn in the game!
Many, if not most of them, will be obviously particularly spicy in nature. See the picture above!
Most of them will be made in a manner that you won't feel bad about. I always wanted Star Periphery to be a pleasant, comfortable game, and the endings are no different. They will mean the game is over, but I hope they will also evoke that classical "god, I wish that were me" feeling.
However, that does not mean they will be somehow mild or even forcibly sweet; you don't need to worry about that. Choices will have their consequences!
tl;dr - Bad endings yes, mostly spicy, not too serious, no really unpleasant themes, all according to the game's setting and kinks.
And since we started spicy, let's keep it that way as we look at our progress update!

Any thought to a joke or dream ending sorta like where mc is dom only to find out he being spit roasted, or he finds his past and whole family are futa
No such scenario is currently planned, sorry!
bad end ideas golbins toy (you become addicted to the goblins by choosing to party with them and accepting a offer maybe?) Blue ladys toy (i forget her name but the blue lady that has the addicting effect on humans maybe gets exposed to you too many times/gets to into useing you/or offers you the option of being her exclusive toy and leads to bad end) glory hole habits (you vist the glory hole and decide to stay way longer then you should have all kinds of "visiters" and cant stop after that making it a daily and far too length visit to the point you do nothing else and/or do more then just blow them)
Ha, I am planning to add at least one of these to the game already!
It's good that there are bad ending, but not "too bad" either !
I try to keep them balanced. The bad endings should be hot but not depressing, in my view.
One thing I'm curious about: you mentioned earlier that there will be a special scene depending on which of the ladies the MC will lose his virginity to (not counting the goblins breaking him in, lol). This next update will only have new days for Tessa and Lise, which makes sense since they had their Day 1 first. But for those of us who want to give their cherry to, say, Iris... should we a) hold off on playing Day 2 for Tessa and Lise until after next update, b) rebuff Tessa and Lise for now without getting locked out of their paths later, or c) something else?
That is a good question! But it will require a bit longer explanation. In Release 3, you will, of course, get a scene with both Lise and Tessa. However, a potential v-card giveaway will only happen on Day 3 of each of the ladies, as Day 3 will be the climax (pun intended) of your introduction to them and to those short adventures you will share during it. It is also the reason why Day 3 will be a lot longer than Day 1 and Day 2 and why it will contain the first taste of adventuring and/or action related to the future main storyline. That said, no matter which one you decide to save for, you won't lock yourself out of their future content. The only thing you will have to keep a save for will be the aforementioned first-time scene - for obvious reasons. Finally, the outcome of Day 3 will also decide which one of them will be your main love interest. This means that you will get some unique scene variations in the future, along with some extra scenes. But the total bulk of the content for all of them will be available no matter what. I generally try to keep things 1) optional and 2) stay clear out of content locking, at least if I can help it.
Unfortunately, you forgot to mention Iris in the update. :-) I'll do it for you: Iris: medical examination with various invasive, unpleasant devices. Writing: xx% Render xx%
Iris will have a field day with our MC in Release 4. She even got some new toys to test, some of them quite big!
how nice we will also see bad events (for the obvious protagonist) this will make the game more interesting in every sense, already seeing the first image makes us understand who we will see and what could happen eh eh, too happy that you are giving good news and that the new version is going well ... we just have to see the results.
I would have given my usual response of ' U da best' the moment I got the notification. Yet it came up when I was with friends and family and thought it would be a bad idea to show myself drooling over Tessa's mommy cock. I'm sorry and I will do better next time.
And I was starting to get worried! Tessa will be there for you when you get home!
For me, the bad endings ARE the good endings 🤣
A true connoisseur!
First I have to say the bad ends sound and look amazing. But I like that skills can prevent a bad end. Wouldn't really make sense for the MC to learn how to fight and not use the training.
Exactly! That is one of the reasons why there are non-sexual skills in the game and why they will expand in the future.
