If I may ask do you have any ideas for the next game you can share or would you prefer to leave them a surprise? 

Developer

Oh I have it planned out, but I'll share more once I start gearing up for the production process on the third game. Got a ways to go yet: bugtesting on this pack, releasing this pack on Itch, getting a gallery set up on the first game, working with a very hard-working Japanese fan to get the translation up and working, etc. If all goes well, I'll hopefully be doing my presentation of "here's the plan for 3" in a month or so.

(+1)

Just wanted to say congrats on completing pack 3 and i look forward for playing it when it's available on here :D will definitely be keeping an eye  out for the 3rd game.

Developer

Thanks!

(+1)

you welcome! Oh!  before I forget I was gonna ask if there was any chance we'd  see some items return in future installments  like the ear clips or the one in this game? I'd say what it is but I'm refraining from spoilers lol

Developer

Possibly, although if you've played the boar content in this you know it's more that the conditioning persists once the item itself has done its work, so it's not really needed any more.

(+1)

Just so you all know ill be playing the 3rd part of the game on my fansly Stream at https://fansly.com/JohnnyJellyJaw/posts at 8:00pm CST tonight for those of you who wanna toon in and watch a horny slime watch this horny bunny slut get railed. 

Developer

Was a lot of fun! Thanks for checking the new stuff out. 

(+1)

It was great can't wait for part 3

(+1)

hello, just played both of your cruel serenade games and they both were AMAZING, can't wait for part 3 to come out, also really loving the soundtrack for both games, it just really completes the experience.

Developer

Thanks! I spend a lot of time trying to select stuff that will really fit and give the right vibe; in games that's especially important, because you may end up listening to a particular track a LOT. So I'm glad you're enjoying them!

(+1)

Actually, I wanted to wait for the game to be uploaded two weeks later, but I couldn't wait, so I bought it again from itch.io. Please send a copy of version 1.0 to my email, thank you T T

**Address removed**

Developer

No one with that email has purchased GT recently according to my records. Please share the email associated with the itch account you used to buy the game. I would also highly recommend against sharing email addresses here, as they will be harvested by spammers and scammers. Please contact me via note on FA (bitshift), or if you have to post an address here, at least add additional clear nonsense characters (legitmailSPACE@SPACEgmail.com).

(+1)

i used 184xxxx303@qq.com to buy this game.

i send an email to "legitmail" today but idk if this is the email you're using im not good at english so maybe i have missunderstood what u mean

Developer

Ah, excellent, that one is on the list. Sent you a link, sorry for the confusion. And no, the "legitmail" thing was just an example of formatting to avoid scammers scraping your email, it's not a real email. All good though.

(+1)

cant find where to get the voice print 

Developer

Remember, there's a guide stickied here, both text and chart. But I'll point you in the right direction: You have to find a particular item in the alleys, then talk to the guards on the entrance to the center path.

(+1)

Hello, I'm kind of stuck as well. I don't know if I'm looking  at the right guide but it only gives instructions for the scenes and not on how to progress the game. And I did look for that particular item, which I believe I've found. But I have no idea how to use it as the guards say the same thing to me every time I interact with them. Clicking "use" on the item in my inventory while standing in front of them also does nothing, so I'm at a bit of a loss

Developer

You went along the alley until you came to a gate, with a voice print lock. You (I assume) found a voice recorder, went back to one of the hyenas, and got a clip of him talking. So now that you've got that recording, the next logical step would be to take it back to the lock and try again.

You are correct though, the guide focuses just on the scene collection, as walking through the entire game would make it pretty massive.

(+1)

That's true yeah, and thanks for the reply! And yes, I do have the recorder. Though, I don't exactly have the clip of him talking. I've tried just talking to him and then returning to the gate, but nothing's happening. I've also tried clicking on the recorder and then talking to him and going back, but still the same result. I think it's because I'm currently on the slut route and fully naked, but I'm also not sure if that's one of the things Slut mode blocks. I can't even get the beaten by enemies gameover because there are no roaming enemies left in the area to fight. I'm not sure, just trying and seeing what works

Developer

To be clear, the intended action is get recorder, talk to either of the guards, get a special dialog from Mezz that indicates he got the recording, and then go back and interact directly with the voice lock. Using the item itself won't do anything, it's just direct interaction with the hyena and then the lock. Should still work on the slut route (because obviously you still need to get through), but you may have managed to glitch the game somehow. If you keep having trouble getting any response from the hyena or the lock, I'd recommend trying from a save a little farther back if you've got it. And if you don't...too late now, but for future, ALWAYS rotate saves with RPGMaker games. After all this time GT is FAIRLY bug-free, but it can still act odd occasionally, and others aren't so forgiving.

(+1)

I got question dont know whether this will count as spoiler or not. Will there be a route or bad end that involve mezz and scratch being fucked together within one cg. it might be a long shot but i really like the slut khazeem fight bad end and how i wish we get the cg describing their fate in the Gutter

Developer

Huh, sorry, somehow this one got caught in the spam filter, which I don't check regularly. Bit late, and I'm not sure if I answered your question elsewhere, but the answer is "not in this chapter." We'll have to see what the others hold though :D.

(+1)

Hi, been following your journey for a while and i can't wait to play your game!
But to buy the game on itch i'd need to provide my precise location in accordance with 2015 Vat Moss regulation, and im not really comfortable with that.
I know that you have a subscribestar and i think they only ask your country which im fine with. Can i buy one month of your 10€ subscription and still be able to get the game(and future bug fixes updates)? Sorry for the bother , big fan!

Developer

First of all, my condolences on living in the UK. Second, absolutely! The $10 and up Substar subs come with a key for GT. Just DM me once you're on there to remind me you're new and need a key, and I'll pass one along.

(+1)

but why is there client pics if there no battles or much sexual desires (I had this gut feeling the white suit ones havent been used .)

Developer

They were originally going to be another kind of "enemy" in the proto-version of the center path, but with different "fighting" rules based entirely around sex. That ended up being scrapped both because I decided to do something less top-heavy and tedious for the center path, and because they didn't work well as direct antagonists due to how non-emotive they are.

(+1)

hmmm... Maybe they could be Part of the 3rd game?

Developer

No, will be doing a bunch of new stuff. But that's fine. I'm pretty happy that I was able to keep the unused/excess stuff to a minimum; very little waste on this game overall.

(+1)

ah well. but at least It was a good idea attempt.

(+1)

having some trouble with the Slut Mode. It seems you only get one shot at fucking three dobermans, but when you get caught once, you can't fuck the same dobermans again and the alleyways don't work. Is that intentional?

Developer(+1)

So to clarify, we're talking the center path? If you get caught by the hyenas, you get a scene with them, but then can continue trying to lure in dobermans. You won't be able to get ones you've already pulled, and it's randomized: it activates...3 or four, can't remember, at random to be available, and if you go through all 4, it activates a new random set of 4. Once you've used an alley, you can't immediately use it again, you have to take them to another one, but there should always be A doberman to find and A alley to take him to. Finding both and threading that needle without getting caught is the challenge.

(+1)

I haven't been able to find the first CG. How can I get it?

Developer

You mean the one on the dumpster? That requires playing the first game a certain way, then transferring over data via the datacrystal.js file. Check near the start of Openfireplace's guide here for details.

(+1)

I have moved the file to the specified location and asked whether to overwrite it, but nothing happened in the game.

Developer

Again, make sure you're reading the guide carefully. The file just transfers over details of how you played the first game (it's written every time you finish that game). You can also "cheat" and just edit the numbers yourself, it's just plain text. The numbers have to match certain values for the scene to trigger. In addition, it doesn't trigger the FIRST time you enter Haven and walk past the alley, but the SECOND, after you've talked to Scratch and done a bunch of things.

Excuse me, I've replaced the file with the alley quest that wants to trigger Chapter 2, do I need to talk to an NPC? Or take scratch's first quest and walk to the exit, and when you come back, you can trigger the alley directly

(+1)

if I remember correctly you do the scratch quest first and when going through the second time the boar scene should trigger

Developer

Yes, assuming you have the right switches set in the DataCrystal file, you have to go on the first "mission", and then the alley scene triggers once you walk past it. Keep in mind, we also have a text walkthrough/guide stickied here, so feel free to check that. Even I do sometimes when I'm going back to test something.

(+1)

Will the door under the stairs of the alley be renewed in the future?

Developer

That side story will continue in the next game, yes, as well as a few others eventually.

(+1)

Do you know if any other games like this? Just something to hold me over till the third in this series 

Developer

Perfect Home is the big one, though it has its own vibe. Definitely fun once you get into it though. But unfortunately there isn't a lot of good hypno stuff out there, which is one of the reasons I'm making these to begin with. Gotta expand availability.

(+1)

So now we are done with chapter 2, there's 3 more to go. I can only imagine following chapters are just only going to be better. Before you going too deep the making, would you like to talk about the game development? May I get your Discord or something perhaps?

Developer

No, no Discord, I'm pretty much just here (and on FA). Feel free to ask, though I won't be getting into too many specifics on Chapter 3 yet.

(+1)

Somewhere I can talk you to privately? There's something I want to discuss, nothing about the spoilers.

Developer

If you're on FA, I'm "bitshift" over there, you can note me. If it's nothing personal, and you just don't want to spoil things for people, you can just make a thread here and put [Spoilers] on it, that should be plenty of warning.

(+1)

You got it. Check DMs

(+1)

Will this game be on steam?

Developer(+1)

Probably not. While Steam has massively reduced what they censor (or increased what they allow, depending on how you want to look at it), my understanding is that a lot of the "adult" games you see on there use the dodge of selling a "clean" version and then making the explicit stuff available as an "add-on pack", as this bypasses the payment processor's forced censorship guidelines ("We didn't sell smut Mr Mastercard, we sold a perfectly clean game! If the users want to mod it after the fact, that has nothing to do with the transaction you were handling!"). This is goofy, and there's not really a way I could make such a version of the CS games even if I wanted to, because the sexual aspect is so inter-woven with everything. 

There's also a question of audience: While I certainly want to draw in a crowd, there's such a thing as too large a crowd. One of the many things that makes social media terrible is that it shoved everyone into one big tent instead of letting them hang out in their own communities, which leads to chaos and misery. I'd rather stay in the niche I belong in.

(+1)

That's fair, thankie for your replay

(+1)

An honest question: Have you used any bit shifting in this game? XD

Developer

I have not, though I have in a sense on other projects (not in the strict definition of binary arithmetic, but just shuffling strings around).

(1 edit) (+1)

Well, if you consider that shifting a string is displacing a whole byte is a sort of bit shifting, so I guess your nickname is still accurate XD. By the way, I loved playing your first game and looking forward to playing the second one

Developer

Thanks! And let me know if you have any thoughts/feedback after playing.

(1 edit) (+1)

I played the game entirely on a pure playthrough. Then I started a new save and agreed to work for Mahir. Problem is, when the Strip Club shift is over, I'm stuck in the restrooms. For the love of God, what do I need to do to leave?


Nvm, figured it out. Regardless of the fact that I clicked the door and beyond and even walked up against the wall a million times, I couldn't leave until the last try.

Developer(+1)

On the last shift you're not allowed to leave until you look at the picture by the stall, that could have been it. Regardless, glad you were able to find your way out!

(+1)

thank you, but it was only the first shift. I was so sure it was the door too bc nothing else made sense. Only took a few tries (this part's for anyone else who might have the same issue: don't try to walk out of the door, click the bricks against it with your mouse, that's the only way that got me out). Otherwise, yeah, I didn't have many problems. Gotta say the combat is the best part, and I had a lot more fun on the pure playthrough. Not something I expected from a porn game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I mean, even on a "pure" playthrough there's a lot to dodge with the combat, unless you're using the protective charm. But either way, glad you enjoyed it!

(+3)

Furaffinity is compromised atm, that can't be good. Don't use it atm, hope everything is okay.

Developer

Looks like they're getting it back under control; ironically the worst part seems to be that their domain server service has abysmal customer service. 48 hours my ass. No real issues for me though, other that inconvenience. All my passwords that matter are unique to each service and secure.

(+2)

any hints on the next enemy group?

Developer

Not yet, no.

(+1)

Can I make a suggestion? maybe one of the next villain groups are snakes, maybe with their hypnosis being gene modification on their eyes or something...

Developer(+1)

I've never been a huge fan of snake anthros actually. I mean they're fine, I don't hate them, but they just don't give me as much to work with in terms of getting me worked up. But there may be some...snake like things in one of the Chapter 3 packs eventually.
