Nagai Yamiji Demo V0.1.3

This is the first publicly available version of Nagai Yamiji.  It's still missing a lot to it, but the core gameplay is still there.

Feel free to submit bug reports or make suggestions, but remember that this is a beta so the final product will have plenty changes.  I haven't tested the game on any different PCs, so different resolutions might cause problems, I'm not sure.

Still to be added:
-CG images on deaths
-Most of the H-animations (at the moment most default to the zombie's, that's not a bug)
-Sound and music

Let me know how the difficulty is.  You can select different difficulty levels, but I'm not sure how well things are balanced at the moment.

Oh and the game does work with at least Xbox 360 controllers, just plug it into a USB port and you should be good to go.

Download:

NOTE: The game's an .exe, so anti-virus software will probably hate it.  You'll need to make an exception for the game if you're getting errors or other unexpected behavior.

EDIT: Wow, problems already.  I kinda forgot to test things without the Xbox controller after adding its functionality.  Without one plugged in it lags like a mother!  Also there was an error if you tried to load a game if one didn't exist. Oh well, it's fixed now.  Sorry if anyone already downloaded it :\

EDIT2: Jesus, of course as soon as I release the first demo it's riddled with unforeseen bugs!  Most of it was me being stupid, or assuming things would work because they're too simple to get wrong (big mistake for a programmer, haha).  Anyway things should be fine now... (haha fat chance)

I believe that I've got all the bugs worked out of the current demo, so I've been working on finishing up the game; adding in all the things there's still left to add.

Music is in and works fine, and I'm starting to add some sound effects, so that'll be in the next demo.  I'll start putting in some of the voice clips that my lovely voice actor has provided me with, so that'll increase the overall feel of the game significantly.

I've also been working on more of the H-animations, so some more of those should be in the next demo as well.

They aren't in the demo, but the second and third boss still need to be finished.  The second boss is mostly done, it's just the fine tuning that needs to be worked on really.  The third boss I haven't started yet, but he's all planned out and shouldn't be super hard once I actually sit down and do it.

Haven't gotten started on the CGs yet.  I'm thinking that I'll leave those for last.  I don't have an exact number pinned down for those yet.  It'll be determined by how inspired I am to make them and what ideas for them I can come up with.  I'm thinking at a very minimum there'll be 8, but I'm sure I'll make more than that.

I think tomorrow I'll take a day off.  I've been feeling a little sluggish and I've got work tomorrow morning (I currently work part-time at a pizza joint... fun fun).  I pretty much worked on the game all day today, but I still feel like I didn't get nearly enough done, so a small break should help light my fire again.  Still on schedule for a June release, so that's good.

So much for a day off today, haha.  I ended up putting in several hours for the game... tomorrow though... tomorrow I'm going to be lazy as fuck.

But hey, I got plenty of H-animation work done today, so that's good.

Well today I was called into work, and pulled a nearly 12 hours shift.  And tomorrow is another 12 hour shift!  I'm not actually complaining, I like the extra hours and it's easy work, but it did kinda make my break day non-existent.

Anyway today I got a little work on the game done (I work on it at work if we're not busy).  Fixed a couple bugs, changed some things, and finished the second boss.

Tomorrow I'll hopefully have time to work on it some more.  I want to finish up those H-animations and that last boss.  I'll probably release another version of the demo in the next couple days as well.

Currently planning Sunday to by a day off... but I'll say that and then get called into work again, so I'll play it by ear :P

Well today I started and more or less finished the final boss fight while I was at work.  Also got some more voice clips from my VA, which sound awesome.  Super thrilled I got a voice actor!

Assuming I don't get called into work tomorrow I'll be making tomorrow my "break day" (finally, haha).  Vidya games, maybe some drinks, and masturbation.  A day fit for royalty.  If I do get called in then I'll probably find time to work on Nagai Yamiji while I'm there.

Either way I think I'll be releasing the next release, V0.2, on Monday.  It'll have music, some sound (including voice acting), and some bug fixes.

Not sure if I'm going to post on this blog every day.  I'll probably just make some short posts with what I accomplished that day or something.  I might post some other things that might interest people who stop by, like maybe game reviews for other H-games, or "Making of" posts for my games...  If'n there's anyone who really cares, feel free to comment to say what you'd like to see here on this blog.

A break!

Yay, today I actually didn't get called into work!  I'm totally doing nothing productive!  I'm hanging with a bro, I masturbated (before bro got here...), and we're gonna drink while playing Minecraft later tonight!  Allow me to plug my let's play channel, Beep Boop Plays!  New video every day!  Also, there's going to be a drunken Minecraft special!  If you like let's plays, check it out!

Earlier I played an adventure game called "Resonance" on steam.  Quite fun so far.  I like it because the problem solving is really intuitive, but still rather challenging.  No "adventure game bullshit" where you have to know to use an umbrella on a door because you pull a wire out of it to use to pick a lock or anything.  Great example is there's a part where you need to turn a valve, but the handles broken off.  Maintenance closet is looked, so you have to go ask the janitor for a key.  No wrench in there.  However, a while before the janitor told you that he had used the wrench to break a window (during a long-winded speech where details might have been missed), so it turns out he's got it on him.  It's not hidden up a duck's ass or anything, it's a very reasonable solution to the puzzle, while still not blatantly obvious.  Story seems interesting so far, but without playing all the way through I can't give a real review of that yet.

Me and previously mentioned bro played Rage co-op a minute ago.  Quite a fun game, I had never played.  Heard it got mixed reviews.  I heard it was a bit "samey" as a FPS, and I can definitely see that, but it's certainly fun and the co-op is challenging.  Unlike in a lot of games, we're having to actually be a little tactical and work together, rather than be able to just run in guns blazing.  Also, it has local co-op, which is a disappointingly rare feature in most games.  What the fuck is the point of a console if not to play local co-op?  I swear...

Anyway, tomorrow I'll start working on the game again, it was weird not doing anything for it today.  Woke up and was like "Finally a day off! ...what the hell do I do?".

Nagai Yamiji V0.2

As promised here is the next release of Nagai Yamiji!  This version has some bug fixes, a few small changes, and the biggest change: music and sound!  There's still a bunch of sound that needs to be added, but all the music is there.

I you had a save from the previous versions they won't work for V0.2 unfortunately.  I changed the save files a little to fix a few bugs.  Once I have the final version released, I'll publish a guide on editing your save files so you can jump around to whatever place you want or super power yo ass up.

Anyway, today I didn't get a whole lot done.  I was exhausted from hanging out with my bro.  The whole night things kept going wrong, we were both really pissed and stressed, but at the end of the night we got everything sorted and we got drunk and played Minecraft.  Good times.

What I did do is change the music to .ogg so that it takes up like no space (compared to when I had to have them as .wav's, I mean balzak!).  I used an extension called Caster, provided by MoaCube, to use the .ogg's.

If you get an error about a missing "Openal32.dll" install it here:

EDIT: Haha, set the music to only play once and not loop.  Sumbitch, not ever goes right the first time does it?  Anyway that's fixed now.

Not a whole lot to report on I suppose.  The past couple days I've been working on sound, recording a bunch of Foley and voice clips.  I have over 200 sounds added in now, so I'm close to being done, haha.  Each monster has a handful of sounds, so that's where most of them come from.

I guess I also added display options, so you can set it to be in fullscreen or not, as well as if it's zoomed in.  Also added a couple easter eggs :P  What's a game without a few easter eggs, eh?

Here's another little update for y'all.  I wasn't planning on putting out another release for a little bit, but this one has a few improvements that should be nice.

It has the missing DLL if you need it, and has a lot more sound to it.  The config files won't be compatible, so you'll need to scrap your old one, but I believe the save files should still work.

If you don't get a boner while you work, can you really say you love your job?

Anyway, made some improvements to the game, tweaked platforming a bit to make it easier, game defaults to zoomed out if your monitor is too small to display it zoomed in.

Changed the voices for the menu selections to be a cultist's voice, since the dark voice fits the mood better.

Planning on adding a duck/low kick move, to make combat with small jellies a touch easier, and just give a couple new options for combat in general.  Probably implementing that today.

Also just cranking out the last of the H-animations.  Got over half of them done now, and I'm trying to hunker down and actually get the rest done :P

So expect another release here soon with those updates.

Today I hunkered down and did a few H-animations.  I completed the animations for 3 enemies: Nematodes, Fire Imps, and Giant Spiders.

Still to do:
Large Jelly
Crusher
Spider
Master
Cthulian
Strider

I plan on doing another 3 animations tomorrow, and then the remaining 3 the day after.

Took another day than I wanted it to.  I got called into work which took some steam outta me, also a little more procrastination than needed, haha.  Did you guys know that Game Dev Tycoon is really fun?  Fairly popular at the moment it seems.

Anyway, I also added a duck and lowkick move, so that'll be in the next release.  Tomorrow I'll be working with my bro on playing some Last Of Us.  We'll have a Let's Play of it up to watch sometime tomorrow!

Beep Boop Plays
Watch Last Of Us here first!  Please subscribe if you like what you see.  If this channel gets decently popular that'll be another stream of income that'll keep me out of fast food and in game development!

Anyway, I'll be back to work over this weekend, and I should have another release soon.

Closing in on the release date!  I've just got the game CGs to make and some finishing touches and Nagai Yamiji will be up for sale!

It's the final stretch on development for Nagai Yamiji!  Here's an exhaustive list of things I'm going to do before releasing V1:

-Ending sequence/credits
-CGs and Gallery

To my knowledge everything else is done and working properly.  Of course that's what these beta releases are for, to prove me wrong.

Please enjoy this latest release, and let me know if there are any problems, bugs, or anything that seems missing!

EDIT: Updated with a few small changes/additions.  Walljumping should be easier now, and fixed a couple things.

Nagai Yamiji V0.4

So I upgraded to GMStudio!  That's pretty cool, eh?  While the upgrade took some doing, it wasn't as bad as I was thinking it might have been.

The best thing about this upgrade is that I should be able to export Nagai Yamiji for Android, meaning it should run on the Ouya.  That's pretty sweet if you ask me.  I've contacted Ouya about releasing an adult game for the console, and I'm still waiting for them to get back to me.  My hope is that they'll at least allow me to release a non-H version for their marketplace, then distribute unlock keys (to uncensor that tasty hentai) via my own channels.

If not, oh well, GMStudio does have some other nice features.  It is, however, slow as balls.  GMStudios itself, I mean, Nagai Yamiji is much faster.  GMStudios, though, likes to have a massive lag spike about every 8 seconds or so.  This happens regardless of what I'm doing, whether it's editing a sprite, editing code, or doing nothing at all.  Oh well, at least I'm pretty much done with the development of the game.

So!  Features of this version:
-An installer
-Improved wall-jumping + sliding down walls
-Dust particles
-Greater compatibility
-Performance boost
-Size reduction (from 40.6Mb to 34.1Mb)
-Probably some things I'm forgetting, but fuck it

One drawback is that you can no longer have the game zoomed out while in fullscreen mode.  Currently nothing I can do about it, it's a GM bug and I can't seem to get a more up-to-date version without it.

Oh, and the save and config files are now located in C:\User\AppData\Local\Nagai_Yamiji\ if you wanted to edit those

People have still been having problems with the controls.  I can't reproduce these problems, so it's impossible for me to correct these problems without just releasing an update with some changes and hope that it works.

This version also has fixed the missing surface error a few people have had, and the handful of graphical hiccups GMStudio caused.

I hope that helps the controls for people, because otherwise I've got about no clue what to do.  I've searched high and low via google for other people having this problem, but to no avail.

So I had the goal of releasing the game this month.  Shit ain't happenin'

About three things prevented that from happening.  Biggest problem has been the with controls not working for everyone.  I've had to spend a ton of time trying to get it to work for everyone, and it's still not working yet.  I've filed a bug report with YoyoGames, so I'll see how that goes.

Second problem has been a blessing and a curse.  I've been getting a lot more hours at my steady job.  It's nice because that's an assured stream of income and I've only been asking for more hours for like half a year (rabble rabble), so that's good.  Unfortunately it does detract from time I can work on the game.  While I can program and such some while at work, doing the CGs is a little trickier, considering the subject matter, heheh.

Third has been a touch of procrastination, I won't lie.  I am rather satisfied with the amount of time I've been putting into the game, but I have pushed back working on the CGs more than I should have.  Oh well, I've gotten started on them, so I'm building up steam there!

I'll probably release some CG teasers soon!

I'd really like to not release the game until these problems with the controls are resolved, since that's a huge hindrance.  Not only does it prevent a segment of people from playing the game properly, it also means that people leaving reviews will be mentioning these problems, which will likely stand out from any praises.

However, regardless of how things are working out I'll definitely release some time next month.  If at that point the problem isn't solved, then I'll just direct people to test the demo before purchasing the game, so they don't pay for a game they can't properly play.  Not the best solution, but I think that's what I'll have to do.  Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

I also hate bodily functions, did you know that?  Sleeping, eating, exercising, showering... it all takes too much time out of my day!  I'd have like an extra 10 hours at least if not for those things!

Guess what bitches?  Thanks to a forum-bro who got drunk and did some extensive testing, I've finally fixed the bug that everyone has been having.  You can now wall jump without problems :D

So if you were having problems before, they should be fine now, woop woop.  How cool is that?  I'm excited!

Anyway, still working on the CGs.  Been busy with work (getting plenty of hours, which is nice).  I had mentioned releasing a taste of the CGs, which I will probably do tomorrow (I'd do it tonight if it weren't for the fact I really need to get to sleep and it's taking all I've got to continue to type this and remain coherent, but fuck I'm probably failing at that).

Anyway, downloads, that's what y'all are here for.  Well here you go baby birds:

So here's a CG for y'all to take a gander at.  It's essentially the blandest, as she's fully clothed and not getting sexed, but don't you worry!  There will be plenty more of these to come :)  Hope y'all think it looks good so far though


I'm still working on finishing up the rest of the CGs and the final touches on the game before releasing it.  It will, for sure, be out this month!
