Hi folks! At the start of each development cycle I work on UI and core system improvements. For version 0.4 I tried to do a little revamp of the save system and set up a better auto-skip feature. Here is what you can expect:
Faster auto-skip: Auto-skip (hold 'Z' key) will be
What can I say? A hundred times thanks! I didn't have any idea about how this number would grow, or even if it would have any growth at all.
I started these projects just for the fun of working on them, but always taking it very seriously (seems weird, but taking it seriously is part of the ...

Being a tester means that I'll send to you new versions of the game a few days before release. I just ask you to play it (from your last save or maybe from the beginning), then report any bugs you might find as soon as possible. Raise your ...

Hi folks! As I posted a few days ago, this version has quite less new story content when compared with the amount you got at [v0.2] (but it's being released just a couple of weeks since the last one).
There's no new full sex scene, however the Gallery app is...

Anyway, I think this is a cool gift to you: a Phoebe character model for...

I hope I'm not infringing any copyrights, but just making a free ad for them!
2017-12-10 20:23:22 +0000 UTC View PostThere's no new story content in this version. It's just some minor (but important) system improvements, bug fixes and text revisions.
WHAT'S NEW
I have an almost 10 years old MacBook. It takes ages to startup, but I'm able to get it running Unity, and it can even generate builds of the game. Doing this takes some time, and I don't think I'm able to test the game in this Mac. But, if there are enough people interested in a Mac version I could...

WHAT'S NEW:
Hi folks!
Content, dialogs and code for the second release are done! Now, it just needs a fair amount of testing to clean the most nasty bugs!
There will be lots of alternatives to complete this first quest, and it means a lot of holes where bugs can be hidden. I wante...

Hi folks! Got some good news this week!
I'm aware that lots of the game dialog needs improvement. I spend a fair amount of time trying the best I can to write like a native English writer would do. Yet, I still do lots of typos, bad grammar and weird vocabulary.

I'm focused on the next release! My plan is to publish it next week (or maybe a little later), and there's still some good amount work to be done! Here's a short list of its contents:

Just a quick info: I added a mega.nz link for Hack'n Stalk 1.0 release into the About section of the page as Google Drive is reporting 'too many download' errors (which is great, after all!)

The released version ends at a point the game will become a little less linear. To complete the 'quest' you'll need to perform some tasks with no required order, visiting seve...

First patron build release of Hack'n Stalk 2.0 is coming at the weekend! In this first version I tried to finish the most of the basic systems: new UI, D.I.C.K. system, inventory, story script engine, minigame operability.
But it also has a fair amount of story content and new mi...

This is the first version of the new user interface menu that I just finished. I also prepared a reasonable amount of content and now I'm racing to release it the as the first partial version about next weekend!
This is a rehearsal for making-of posts. I'll start writing about the software tools I use and their roles in the game development workflow. They are all free software.

The first Hack'n Stalk had one single Player Character status checked on very few situations: Karma. Now I'm working on a bit more deep system with 4 player statuses:
