itch.io

currently there's no plans for a mac version of the game, might be considered for the future but atm it's not a big priority

currently there is one planned that will hopefully come out either some this month or the next, even if it's late for halloween

it still is planned content btw (with even a few furry characters having their art / design shown off already in patreon posts), just not big enough of a priority for the dev to focus on atm

currently there are no plans for a mobile port

peak...

can't wait to see when you include the tail stuff

I meant to say there is a dedicated struggle stat, tho the amount is specific to each character like with stun

it does do that too yeah, forgot about that oops

struggle gets reduced the lower the unit's health is, so it's mainly effective at higher hp (and can also be lowered with other abilities such as chateau's passive or avalon's detain)

you can ask me, I'm kinda the main person to go to when it comes to modding stuff lol

for modifying hitboxes, theres a function in the main menu called "Import Mod" that lets you edit sprite positions / hitboxes; you enter the name of your character's folder (case-sensitive) and from there you can do as you need to

for stats, here's a list of what they do:

• hp: how much damage your unit can do before they go unconscious
• en: resource that gets used up before your unit goes hungry
• atk: how much damage attacks deal
• def: how much damage your unit takes (applied as a flat damage reduction)
• vatk: how successful your vore moves are to hit
• vres: how likely your unit is to avoid vore moves
• skl: affects attack and vore moves hit chances
• spd: affects both hit chance and dodge chance

thank ya! and vt+ is the main modding tool to use atm, very nice to use when you want more custom stuff out of the game https://itch.io/t/3814078/vessel-tactics-plus-a-custom-mod-starting-point-game-v...

very good stuff! would you mind if I ported this to 0.13a myself, along with 0.12a and 0.13a vt+ support? (and maybe reposting it to vorecade too if that's fine)

btw I also saw you partially took some stuff from vt+ in the class.txt file, though you should probably remove them as it does tend to cause crashing for some people upon loading the character in

I can't 100% speak for the dev here, but I will say this in case the dev doesn't get around to responding to you here:

the dev isn't too interested in pregnancy stuff so I don't think they would be too interested in your concept, plus I'm sure they would rather focus on this game as a solo project of their own vision rather than having to manage two or more games at once

good luck on your art and game project tho!

holstein comes with her own hitboxes set up already so you shouldn't need to do anything, using the hitbox editor just makes you go through the whole process of it again; does she work on her own when you load her in or is there some other issue you're having with her?

both of them are meant to be on the petite / slim side, so it wasn't the dev's intent at all; the dev also specifically went out of their way to make them look as adult as possible to not offend patreon from potentially taking the game off of their platform

no

it's mainly due to the dev of wanting to have a finished product before releasing it there, plus the dev is more than fine with the current itch.io / vorecade and patreon releases

the game will not be available for purchase on steam until it gets finished according to the dev

basic support for most non-english languages have been added in, so yes if you mod it in

0.12a is now public btw, be sure to read it here if you can as the dev hasn't posted an official one yet

ah so it's not hard-coded, quite nice

would you be fine if I talk to blured about merging some of your code with vt+ once you release it? (if you're fine with that)

the 0.12a version of vt+ has already included support for giving modded characters custom ids, though I'm not sure if your version is different or not as the vt+ ids are in fact hardcoded

(posted with dev's permission, 0.12a public release should be coming soon to match)

The 2nd anniversary update is finally finished! It took more than an extra two months, so thank you so much for waiting!

NOTE: For existing mods you MUST reimport them and use the new reformat speech button in the hamburger menu on the lobby in order for them to work!

Changelist:

• Added new outfit for Cornucopia
• Added new outfit for Sampo
• Cornucopia and Sampo's max prey cap temporarily increased. In future updates, you will be able to upgrade their prey cap instead
• Lobby banner animated

• Added option to lobby hamburger menu to reformat existing speec/face files to the new format (For modders)
• Expressions are now managed across all instances by a single entity instead of one for each. When a unit is placed on an image, their GUID is hooked to it and any updates made to that unit are shared across all images they are displayed on.
• Remade blockcode of story scenes to fit new syntax and use more descriptive codes
• Unified text writing scripts in Lobby and Battles so I don't need to duplicate code
• Poses can now be set through speech or face

• Lobby unit images can now fill themselves with a minimum of code required
• Text fields that need to be rewritten for things such as stat values can now be bulk rewritten in a single line of code rather than being hardcoded
• Credits added to main menu
• Added analytics through Vorecade (At the moment, only tracks pred/prey in the feed menu)
• Sprite loading optimized
• Overhauled stomach system (again)
• Redid a lot of old code to be better
• Fixed a lot of bugs
• Added a lot of bugs

0.13 is mainly a polishing update as it revamped a bunch of old code to make it run better and have better support for future coding overall, which is why the update is taking so long; hopefully it will be able to make future updates come out much quicker as a result

dev is prioritizing finishing up the update atm, they have made a statement not too long after your post was made about it https://www.patreon.com/posts/132980735

patreon version is an early access of the latest version of the game, public / itch version is always an update behind it in terms of content

next update is still being worked on, though there's no eta on it atm

corn doesn't have wg atm as the dev wanted to redraw her before implementing her wg, it just hasn't been a very high-priority task atm

it is possible to do that using a program like assetripper to extract the game's assets https://github.com/AssetRipper/AssetRipper/releases

it would be nice, but unfortunately chateau is the exception to the norm as she's meant to be the dedicated wg character, so what you see for the other characters is likely going to be as big as it gets

probably to make them more common to attain from the gacha, though do keep in mind it's a temp thing anyways as they're all eventually planned to be separated entirely from the gacha / rarity system (as how it was in older versions of the game)

mainly it's due to unfortunate circumstances; on top of the dev going on break over the holidays adding a further delay, the update is taking a bit longer than expected due to issues with code / art getting polished properly, no established eta atm other than soon enough

they're still present and working on the game in the meantime, it's just that they mainly keep to patreon / discord stuff only for announcement / news

you press rmb to disable the battle ui so you can use the sandbox menu, then you press p to bring it up (and it shows you the controls in the top right)

currently there are no plans for a mobile port

I'm pretty sure they're asking if theres any futa / cv mods out there atm, afaik there's only three currently:

• kvevri by antares, she's only available to members of the official game's discord server currently
• false by rosewell, you can find her download in the fan server for this game https://itch.io/t/3948427/discord-fan-server
• chimera, she's an official modded character that comes bundled in 0.12a's download to show off how to set up stomach systems for modded characters

the dev is pretty iffy about including someone else's characters as they don't want to deal with any potential drama it could cause (e.g. characters potentially being pulled out or people feeling like they're left out entirely), on top of the dev preferring for the game to be wholly original; the game will only feature characters directly made for it as a result, though the dev's pretty open to other artists making characters specifically for the game like with theano or chateau

do keep in mind though that as a possible alternative solution, any external character can always be implemented as a modded character if you really want to see them in-game

you can use chateau's order up attack to make chateau swallow a unit with her axe btw (it only feeds them to any unit she's containing though)

make sure you're using this version of dnspy first, the more recent versions of vt aren't as compatible with the older versions of dnspy anymore and it should fix some compiling errors you may run into https://github.com/dnSpyEx/dnSpy/releases/

try that first, if that didn't work then I can't tell you exactly what's wrong from the information you gave me since I would need more specific info, my guess is that it would either be a syntax error or not formatting your code properly

it's a bug with the mod loading system itself, so you'll have to wait until the next update releases publicly
