A Skinwalker Fantasy


Skinwalkers are sorcerers, warlocks of legend who can alter their physical apparence to better suit their impulses, and trick infortunate people into following them into the wilderness  so that they may never reappear. Except, they do reappear, their likeness does, the skinwalker can wear the skin of a person or an animal and effectively mimic them to a certain extent. That is where you come into the story, the little town of Sancester has been in the middle of strange disappearences, and this time it is not about people, it is about skinwalkers mysteriously vanishing and a deafening sound coming from somewhere around town.
You, being a rather new skinwalker, are asked to investigate the town and discover what's happening and why this town seems to be in the center of a big conspiracy !


The game has RPG elements, in the dialogue, the fights, the loots, the stats (intelligence, strength...) and even with a perk system ! It is not your typical adult game, I'm trying something new.

The goal is to release the game free to anyone who  wishes to play it. But obviously supporters will get advantages such as early versions, illustrations, sketches, their names written in the release. Oh! And also special perks in-game to make your skinwalker even stronger! I would also like to add that it is very ambitious, as for now I am all alone doing it and it's my first project of that kind. So one of the first goal will to attain a sum of money that will make it possible to pay artists who can not only imitate the style but do a better job. I only want the best and sometimes, especially for backgrounds and items, I feel like I would prefer to pay a good artist that could do the job and at the same time I could advance stroy-wise and coding, win-win right?








Thank you in advance, even if you can't donate I would honored if you enjoy A Skinwalker Fantasy, it's only the begining of my journey !

Is the quest 'mind-break the redhead' doable yet? I've been using the fuck option for the past 20 minutes but it hasn't been completed yet.

Ha it seems like you've hit the end of the content for this update, the fucking option is the last thing you unlock. I should've made it more obvious in the quest screen.

Wouldn't it make more sense for rabbits, fawns and deers to try to flee instead of fighting back?

If they'd flee you wouldn't get furs, nor meat, nor exp.

I'm saying that cause seeing bunnies attacking and dealing 1 damage is kind of painfull, and deers seem more powerfull than wolves wich is odd...

Yeah I see what you mean. But then it would be more like you try to one-shot the animal or it would flee kind of battle, which would not be that enjoyable for gameplay I think. I chose at the beginning to make the fleeing mechanic rely on the player, you can choose to flee and avoid battle with them (rabbits, faws and deers) as they are "non-agressive" and won't chase you, the wolf for example is one of the enemies that will not let you leave easily. At least not without a check with your speed and his own, and when you're too low in speed you cannot win.
The rabbit deals 1 damage when you are low level, and as you gain level and the damage it inflicts is 0 you'll get this message instead "tries to hurt you but cannot".

I also implemented basic RPG mechanics like the animals in the second area are a little stronger than the ones in the first. The wolf in the first area that you encounter in the night is weaker than the buck from the second because of RPG logic, which is not really realistic yea :')

But if you compare its stats with stats from the wolf of the same area, the wolf still has higher stats! I try to find the right amount of gameplay and a semblance of reality if it makes sense. I hope you still have fun with the battle system aside from that!

If i didn't like the game i'd simply have quited it uninstalled it and be done with it.
Nah, your game is cool and i though i'd give my opinion.

I guess trying to kill fleeing ennemies before they do could be a pain.

Btw, the owl didn't appear in the list of possible encounters even after i killed one.

I hope you plan to add more content in the love route with the redhead in later version, because it feels really unbalanced as things are.
The "corruption route" gives you two woman to do with as you wish while the "love route" gives you access to a one time strip tease and a handjob from a different woman. Even in terms of morality/casualties the love path doesn't feel more human than the corruption path.

It's nice to have the choice between different approaches though. But as things are i don't see any reason not to go down the corruption path, unless bestiality is a taboo for some, but then again i don't think it would be the case for a shapeshifter.

In any case, cool game, waiting to see where it leads

Thanks a lot! I have to revamp the love route to be honest, and add quite a lot more for it to be on par with the other path. But people overall tend to be wayyyy more interested towards the corruption  route so the other one has been left with its cobwebs for a while. I see your point about morality in the "love route", and I think it would be a good idea to at least give more choice in what you want to see and how you want to act. It's noted for a future modification.

Heya, new bug when trying to click on Maria's house after reaching corruption lvl 55, it shows a text box, "I have no idea how this happened, can you send a message to the dev?" then shows an error, "twelvemenushown" is not defined or just brings you back to the main menu like it used to, also when clicking on George's house, it brings you back to the main menu. 

Ha maybe you used an old save ? You have to use a new save for this update, and probably every coming update as I modify many things in the script with each new additions. If not, well, seems like I missed something major in the script!

(1 edit)

it was a new save, i grinded for a while just to get a major error again, seems like this specific scene has some major issues. Oh also, when at corruption lvl 27 when I click on Maria's house it just says, come back in the afternoon, i can't continue.

Auuuugh  well I'll have to see what I missed, thanks for telling me, and even if you pass time with combat or advancing time you can't continue?

nothing fixes it, i tried sleeping and combat, nothing worked.

It's so weird, I don't understand why this happens.
The specific variable, as I wrote for this update shouldn't even increment, so it technically shouldn't be even possible to get the message "I have no idea...." unless something gives let's say a +1 to my variable. And the "twelvemenushown" variable is supposed to be set at the beggining of the game, like every other. So hey I'll add it to the list of things to investigate. Try a new game maybe to see if it persists but as for now I don't see why the game is acting the way it goes. I'd be curious to see if the problem happened to other players.

How you doing?

Hey! That's very nice of you to ask! I'm doing fine,  it's just hard to keep up with updates, as I'm really busy with life. However the next one will come either tomorrow or monday (I'll need to be sure that no bugs will be in the update sooo I'll test everything.). The game is still going great! I'm just taking time to make it as good as possible, I feel like I rushed some things before that could have been even better. Like the next animations are probably the best I've done so far. And you, are you doing good as well?

(+1)

Thanks, If it makes you better in your craft then take the time necessary with your projects, life comes first. Don't stress over it.  I'm doing fine right now.

Idk if this a bug? But during the game, When raising the cop's Corruption quest to 55. When I was visiting her everynight, one night the game just suddenly went to the main menu? Sadly I lost that progress because I never saved. However it is a great game so far and I'm enjoying the combat alot

(+1)

Well this is definitely a bug, usually this happens when the label is empty or there is a "return" in the code. But it shouldn't happen, the only possibilites should be she awakens or you finish the number of action for the night. I think I found where the mistake was, but it's odd that it did that, thanks for telling me, and thank you for enjoying it, I want to bring waaay more for the battles! 

Oh and also in the Loading menu check the "A" next to the Q and the numbers, it's the Automatic Save  system, maybe you got lucky with it and have something to work with for that save! (If the bug does not persist that is.)

I do look forward to what you plan on bringing in for the battles. Also thanks for letting me know that there is an auto save feature, didn't even notice there was one. Okay, Also I was mistaken on the Bug. I was able to replicate it on the same save. So when you finish the quest, it tells you visit her in the morning but when you do the game just goes to main menu.

(+1)

No problem! The Auto Save is quite useful in Renpy games! Now I see where this comes from, one of my variables did something in some rare instances that it shouldn't have done. I'll have to rewrite some parts to make sure it doesn't happen again but it would be safer this way.

looking forward to next update

Thank you very much!

i found a bug that when i talk to carmen about the gloryhole it gives me this: ScriptError: could not find label 'carmen_talk_gloryhole'.

Haaa I see, it seems I made a mistake with the label. This talk is supposed to give you a count for the numbers of customers Carmen has served.
I'll make a new version for that! Thanks for telling me!
