[ The Silkfang Respite ] - A Monstergirl Taming/Management Game

[lasglipas]

Really cool game, I just played through (hopefully) the whole demo and enjoyed it a lot. The tileset looks nice, the animations are good and the overall concept is a nice variation of all the monstergirl-quest games out there.

I know that a lot of monstergirl game have this mechanic (sex after losing a battle) and I really urge you to not implement it. From a gamedesign standpoint it's counterproductive. Why? Because the aim of the game is to train monstergirl and you don't do this by getting beaten by them. I guess (and hope) that instead the romanceable characters are dominant. Alternatively you could also train special monstergirls to spank you, after having trained them.

I love this.
And training your own spanker servants sounds brutal.
Now im hyped as hell.

Awsome and very promising demo! I do hope that spanking mechanic will be expanded upon. Monster girls setting opens up a myriad of possibilities!
Definitely looking forward to next update!

In this demo, it's just the slimegirl, but my plan is to have >30. In the build I have here on my machine, I've already added two additional ones.

1) Is some sort of "monstergirl encyclopedia" planned at some point? Doing an analogue of the "pokedex quest" would be fun. Though just buying new books could work too.
2) I'm definitely interested in the pink variant, especially if you'll be able to keep them on ya. I mean, that's to be expected from a tamer.
3) Are different spanking implements planned? It could definitely add some variety to the game. Maybe you could make some specific monster/implement interactions. Like some of the most sensitive ones wouldn't be able to take the belt, so their moods would drop to 0 immediately, but some others would require specific ones (like silver laced belt for vampires/werewolves). Or maybe their obedience would even drop after too light spanking because they don't respect you.
4) Lastly, I seem to have run into a bug (I'm using Windows). When I catch two slimegirls, put them into the rooms, tame and release the first one [first room both times I tried it], I can't interact with the sign next to the second room (in particular I can't release the one occupying it after timing her).


EDIT: Also, it seems there are some obstacles in our way (water, wind). In the future are they to be overcome with spells or "HM-like" usage of monstergirls?
EDIT2: Update on the bug. After I put another slimegirl into the first room, I can interact with the sign next to the second one. Then I cannot do that again when I empty the first one anew. Also, the the second chest (not the one in the cave) gives you 1600E despite saying you only get 15E.

Good luck with the project.

1. I'm currently exploring some options for doing a pokedex style thing with the book in Fee's room.
2. I'm leaning towards having the pink ones be kept around the Silkfang. Like they have an affinity for Fee and don't want to leave once they are released.
3. I do have an implement system planned. Basically, what they'll do is grant you a flat additional obedience points with no extra cost to mood. To represent you having more authority or being scarier while wielding them.
4. I will take a look at that issue for you, thanks for reporting it!
5. The obstacles that you find in the world will be overcome with equipment that Fee gets after completing a dungeon. For example, after completing the earth zone, Fee gets the Boots of Earth-Binding, which let her wade through the wind gusts that you see.
6. The chest bug should be fixed already, I caught that one recently.

Failing to capture a monster just costs you a capture talisman with no pay off. Being defeated by the monsters is just going to teleport you back to the last bed you slept in minus half of your money. As lasglipas said, I want to keep the spanky content in this game as the reward, not the punishment, so the ways that you find it will be more story related.

You took the idea right out of my head! This is definitely my plan. The romances will span a lot of different dynamics, but there will be some straight dominant ones. I'm thinking of indicating their leaning by the color of the heart next to their name.

I don't know much games, so this type of game remind me only about Pokemon .
I like it so far (I like Pokemon too), but personally I think it's too bad there will be no spanking as punishment

Interesting idea about giving about the pink monster girls (Pink Paramores?) have the unique ability to be dominant. Kind of incentivizes replay and finding them all for the femsub lovers out there. Your game and decisions obviously.

Thank you so much for releasing a version for Linux!

@Godspeak: So there will only be one pink variant of each monster to collect? Like, I can't get two pink slimegirls?
I can dig that. Makes the pink variants feel less like shiny versions and more like legendaries in a way, to draw another parallel to Pokemon.

There will still be spankings as punishments where the player is receiving, they just won't be associated with failure. I'm thinking there will be situations where you have to find out how to solve the "puzzle" of misbehaving.

I'm thinking you could purchase "training kits" that make them into a specific kind of role, whether that be sub or dom.

Exactly, and they will be rare spawns that need certain conditions to be met. Like you need a lure item in your inventory and then it's like a 1% chance. There will also be the actual equivalent of legendaries where a unique monster spawns in a specific area and catching and taming it are both difficult endeavors. The bosses of the dungeons will behave this way.

This was excellent, the aesthetic is very pleasant.
