Unity Carnal Voyages [v0.17.0] [DaScoot]

[tyrant95]

That's one of the biggest problems with the combat system. 4 out of 5 times, the game doesn't register that you used a skill (or at least doesn't immediately end the turn). And then when you get frustrated and start spam clicking the skills, it also sometimes bugs out and uses two skills when the turn actually happens.

My exact issue, I would expect that selecting the action you want to perform would open the modifier cards immediately and after a card is selected the turn will end, but it doesn't do that; when I select a card the game does nothing. Only time when the turn seems to advance is when I request more cards.

 

[DaScoot]

The majority of cards require a target, usually a member of the team, sometimes an enemy.

I don't usually make posts on this site, but I just wanted to give support to the developers and say that I'm looking forward to this game's development. I love seeing more unique WEG games being made.

seems like a really good foundation so far... my only gripes/suggestions is generally what other people have said: clunky combat and sex interactions are clunky, and i wish there were more customization options for the captain though adding any extra would obviously require a lot more art and writing which is damn annoying to do. with this being said i think there's enough interest in the game to warrant getting more artists onboard or for people to even volunteer some (wink wink)

Some more bugs:
(I played it on a steamdeck -> small screen)

- the answers you can give in dialogues don't scale with the scaling of the font size so they are rly small on a small screen

- if you click the [view scene image] and klick a bit around in the menu the image will overlap everything after seducing a crewmember and in the command area... only a reloading can fix the problem

- if you klick on crewmember A in the [Crew Roster] and and go through the other crewmembers with [Next Profile] and then try to [seduce] crewmember C you will always share the bed with crewmember A not C were you actually pressed seduce

- the [exit-button] on the ship-screen of the DTF Explorer is kind of invisible because of the underlapping of the ship-immage which has the same color as the button...

 

[DaScoot]

Steamdeck issues I can't really offer much help on - the main reason I'm not doing Android versions are because I don't have the time for development & testing on mobile platforms (also lack of hardware). I'll look into the seduction bug though.

Re: Character creator, glad you're enjoying it, but it's safe to say there's no plans to expand it at the moment. There are currently 13,563 possible player portraits not including clothing, which feels Sufficient for a game bringing in a couple hundred a month. Between portraits, CGs, etc, the game is actually currently spending several times what it makes on artwork commissions.

Too many colors in the interface. I realize that the dev wanted to color-code stuff but when it's used so often it's just irritate the eyes and confuse the brain.

 

[snowman44]

I honestly have no idea how combat works. Half the things I click don't seem to do anything.

 

[Nessiah]

The game definitely has alot of potential. But the problem is both the combat and sex interface/system is incredibly unintuitive, buggy and not fun to use.

 

[domacleod]

This may be overly critical:

The interface is very bad. Scrolling is very slow. The colors are causing me a headache. The background music is also causing me a headache.

I hope that's just a me thing and not a sadistic attempt at torturing players.

 

[doingoodthanks]

Integrating hotkeys and a variable scroll speed would be great. The overall UI colour burst is a struggle in some places, I agree to that.
Maybe some kind of journal could help in tracking/figuring out coming objectives/events.

 

[sgb3]

Decent start, will watch and see where this goes. Would probably be better to just can the music until you have more than one BGM.

Experiencing a bug where I load a saved game before travel, and I have double the tasks to assign. Since I do not have double the crew, travel becomes impossible.

 

[anonwk3]

Does any save scum to get better crew I know I do because way the game generates crew can undermine a playthrough I wish that some perks and stats were more balanced and in line with career tracks, like it make sence that a tac officer might have low intel or have a higher chance of getting the jock perk but you have 2 inefficient officers and a R&D officer with a intellgence of 1 makes how i'm meant to optimise my crew

It would be nice if the blog would update the public version, in line with it's claims to have done so.

 

[DaScoot]

Sorry about that, mistake on my end - I must've forgotten to hit save on the changes to the public itch page.

You're actually the first person to say anything.

prob because so many of us here are used to devs just going dark suddenlly... some of us just expect it to happen.

 

[Spamwise]

It seems like a combat system where your away team acts as one organized unit, and acts in unison would be simpler. You could use the member's skills to determine overall unit stats.

EG tactical officer grants damage potential, medical grants health regen, technical grants shields etc.
Think of it as a modern infantry unit, where the entire squad supports the machine gunner.

This would also simplify combat into success or failure states, rather than which member of which team goes down first.
