Decadent Deity Demo (Vore Game)

in the third level, on the first lever where you have to solve the puzzle with the lifting platforms, it feels impossible to make it back up due to the lever to switch the moving platform being to far from the lever to jump on because it starts moving instantaneously after hitting it. I could also be dumb any one help me?

Eh not the greatest, just struggle simulator that does way too much

Oof, thats a very overtuned game. The struggle mechanic is a nightmare on the default setting. And yes, I know about the stamina bar.

Jumping is also very confusing. The game's lack of tiles makes its very difficult to tell how far you can jump and whether you can make jumps.

In the latest update the flux beast in the level select menu was replaced with a black box. perhaps the file was renamed and references to it were not ammended.

my take is that if you do some CV that some male preds are coming in the future (which i am happy about.)

Please make them also do OV, i have seen them in other games only doing CV and that is such a waste.

hello friends wanted to say this is a good plat-former. I officially named the worm creatures Jeff and fuck face guess witch is witch. love the way you did the slime patch physics and also love the platforming.

one thing tho I never saw a text box saying you could sprint and how to you might want to add that so people know that it is feature.

Linux build has a few bugs:

• Volume menu is inaccessible, attempting to open it does nothing.
• When changing struggle strength and closing and reopening the menu, it shows the old value but when I change it, it adjusts to the expected value.
• Once the game starts, the viewport does not scroll with my character as I move, and just stays at the beginning.

please make it mobile friendly

So, not sure if you updated the tutorial in the browser version, but:
Right after the switch, it is nearly impossible to get past the worm enemy. It is also impossible to go back, as the jump to the previous section is a single tile too tall, which means you cannot try going around the worm.

Also, if the worm eats you, and you press w before going fully down, the screen turns grey, and starts to lag the browser as it draws on more and more memory.

i try to download game and it says to download an app. whatever it means by that since i doubt it means any app. if someone would help me i would appreciate i

Seems promising. The struggling seems to be a little too demanding though. Skill issue and all I know, but 5 buttons with a seemingly very tight timing is rough. Maybe some feedback for a successful vs unsuccessful press would help too!

You may want to take a look at the old Packedrat game and take some inspiration from it. As it too was a vore themed metroidvania. 

I don't know if this intentionally meant to be impossible, but the timing on the vore buttons is just awful. There's no reason you need 5 buttons to struggle, and hesitating for even a second (or hitting the wrong button, for that matter) sends you entirely too deep too fast.

huh, big packedrat vibes from the screenshots. wish you luck

Because you're soliciting general ideas:

• player pred is nice, and could be used as a source of mana for players that want to be prey less often
• a small number of recurring NPCs with whom relationships are built
  • rival who (in combat?) can vore or be vored, treating player differently based on how they've been treated
  • upgrade vendor wizard who vores the player, extracting "payment" (experience from enemies?) and using it to enchant the player
  • ally character with out-of-combat vore scenes
• implement checkpoints/warppoints as creature or NPC with healing vore?
• text-heavy is probably not the way to go, though a lot of flavor text (protag thoughts while vored etc) would be nice, so long as it compliments rather than supplements gameplay
  
• light lore through manuscripts found deep inside of "ancient beings" (worms, bosses)?
• alternate playable character with completely different playstyle (barbarian?) that keeps protagonist tucked away as a mana source :)
• alt vore is good but may want to have content settings

I know most of this is probably out-of-scope but I hope it's at least interesting

Having a really hard time with the struggling, haven't been able to struggle out at all (except the friendly worm at the start). Part of the problem is I don't know where keys are by name while in WASD position - most games tend to use directional inputs ("right") instead (plus this translates well to gamepads). So I spend a bunch of time thinking "wait, which one is S, again?"

Even with the Player Struggle Multiplier set to 3.5 I still can't get out consistently. 

Also some indicator (visual? audio?) for correct button presses and out-of-stamina presses would be nice. 

Hoping you keep at it, will be following this project!

time to put my thoughts in.

1) Jump height is way too low.
2) There is no willie air-time, which combined with the unclear sprite run animation often leadsm e to just run off cliffs
3) The first big worm after the gate has an impossible jump so if you fail the shortcut jump you're soft locked (Improved jump height and willie airtime should help)
4) struggle mechanic is currently *WAY* too hard.  Remove E and Q from the list because c'mon... and mayhaps make struggle give you way more impact or the swallow be way less strong because without bumping the modifier to 3x, it's impossible to struggle out without destroying your hand.

Suggestions for the future release - 

give the enemies a stomach that can deal progressive damage if unable to struggle out (maybe have a digestion toggle as well?)

Have some way for stamina to be useful outside of just being swallowed.
