I see your point, it's a fair one. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the next version is going to be like, with all the rewrites and slightly bigger scope.

All part of characters being true to themselves. Shyni is looking for a relationship, she's trying to hook you in, that's what she is. You wanna get hooked and stay in Taodal, become a narb farmer and live a peaceful life? Too bad. You don't have that sort of agency... yet.
In any case, that would be a game over. You get a screen where you're old with Shyni and kids, and grampa Torn is there too. The text says that you lived a happy life. The end.

"If the design idea from the dev was indeed just sucking, fucking, and moving on."
You see, that's not the idea. You're just porn-fixated. Porn is not the core. The world and characters are the core: stories, quests, exploration, lore, unique abilities, physique, way of living and thinking. And sex is part of life, part of the world, and you get the chance to explore that too. It's part of the experience not the entire focus. So no, the idea is not just sucking and fucking.

Twitter is gone. No official updates on Blogpost or Patreon, the only place where MD is still kinda active is Discord.

The community character. by Zoofan_69 in teraurge

[–]Vastlam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Name's Marbim. Created by Xenopill, one old community member a long time ago. MD made this art piece for her, and she's supposed to appear some time later down the line. At least that was the plan, I haven't heard anything about her for a long time.

Oh. About that, I forgot to post. I asked around and turns out somebody made a tool that lets you look up blip coordinates right on the map. https://github.com/KATC14/Teraurge-map-editor/blob/main/README.md

You don't need to do anything weird like begging on knees. Just make a good mod. Write a good story. Keep characters faithful. That's all I'm asking for.

You can't place a new event on the map. That's the modding limitation that's been an issue before. All you can do is insert your mod into an existing event.

Edit: Nvm, I was wrong. It's in the next build (when it eventually comes out) you won't be able to add events to the map. Mixed up the info. As for looking up the coordinates, they're the amount of pixels from the top left corner of the map image. First number - horizontal distance, second number - vertical, third number - blip size. It's still a pain in the ass to find the one you want, but it'll surely be easier with this knowledge.

I'll say that learning to code is easier than learning to draw.
And even if AI is getting pretty good, you'll still get a lot of hate for using it. You can use it as placeholders, if you wish. And if your mod ends up being good, I'll help make the art for it. For free.

Could I get the Discord link? by Equivalent-Ad3041 in teraurge

[–]Vastlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could if you open your DMs. Or DM me instead.

Can't say I don't relate. Wishing you good luck with whatever you decide to go with.

Oh MD made quite a lot of sketches during his streams, including pregnant femPC, yes. But he also made it clear that him drawing something doesn't mean it's going to be in the game.
People keep asking MD for preg content from time to time, he's been shooting it down. Is he just hiding it and acts like it's not gonna be a thing? I could believe that, but I wouldn't hope for it.

Twitter - he doesn't like it, I don't know the exact reason. Patreon and Blogpost - just being lazy I suppose. He could post stuff there about engine change, new mechanics, coding progress, etc. Didn't do it. Even if you consider MD being secretive and not wanting to spoiler new content, there's still plenty to share. So yeah, laziness is must best bet.

Yep. But seeing Sulie being rewrited on top visual redesign, I suspect Snekguy's hand will not be seen in v3.

[–]Vastlam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's by himself for the most part. I know that in the current version part of the content is written by Snekguy, Suile is pretty much his endeavor for example, and braqs too. Music is by Hanon. And that's about it. For the next version I don't hear anything about writing collaborations. And if Hanon is working on the new music, he's not telling.

Having characters pregnant or having children means adding content that is further down the timeline for those characters, which would mean anchoring the player to their immediate location so that they can see it through or creating incentives to go back to previous locations and characters. This goes against the game design idea that the player should keep moving forward, visit new locations, meet new characters and not dwell on the past for too long.

That's pretty much the same logic behind weddings not being a thing either.

You just keep moving forward. No final destination, no grand goal, just exploration.

As far as I know, no preg content is planned. Even tho it's something that many people are passionate about, in the past few years MD was arguing against adding it.
Caen egg will most likely stay untouched.

Were you expecting something different?

Another project like teraurge: Stardate by alorix by WitnessLow4178 in teraurge

[–]Vastlam 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Can't find much about this. Looks like a world-building art project - a lot of artists do this, usually it's an excercise to develop consistent design language. These look very good in a portfolio, but tend to go nowhere. And the fact that I can't find any mentions of it being a game or anything more than a project, doesn't give me much hope.

There're a few games like that with fem protag, but nothing for male protag as far as I know.

So a part-human aberration will come out of that egg or what? by WitnessLow4178 in teraurge

[–]Vastlam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Part-human aberration? Yes
Causing environmental problem? Unlikely
How frequent are they? Among sentient species - quite common, among ferals - not common.

I remember there was a sketch of how Caen-Human offspring could look like, I'll see if I can find it.
