Decadent Deity Demo

Will there be android?

Game doesn't work for me, sadly. I launch it, see the name of the game for a moment, then the screen turns black and trying to do anything makes the window close ;-;

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. 

Looks promising so far! Any plans on letting the player able to eat enemies?

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.

i feel like this game has alot of potential, i feel the style of the game looks good so far, tho the struggle buttons seem a bit to complicated/hard to follow and as someone else mentioned they are dark and hard to see, also notice someone elses mention that the jump height is not high enough and that i agree with, if not extending the jump height to be higher, perhaps a double jump would be good?

tho i do look forward to seeing your progress, i am a bit curious about what kind of preds are planned, so far i saw the worm and the mouth, wasint able to get much further to see if thier were any other enemies due to the jump height issue
