Others Coffee Story [v20250215v2] [unnie]

[unniex]

To be honest I think your storytelling ambitions are a little outside the scope of a porn game. The story is better than the content and I don't even like whatever genderbender fetish you've got going on. Who is playing this for the porn at this point? The gameplay is difficult and unrewarding and the adult content is basically just animated gifs. This whole thing is a mess and if you mange to tie it all together somehow I'll be impressed.

When you say you're into time loops, that suggests you're against preserving progress?

I completely disagree.
I think you've boxed yourself into thinking that if a game has adult content everything else is irrelevant. Some of the best written VNs have it.

Different people like different things. You don't even need to leave this thread to see that. People like the artwork or call it middling, think the narrative is good or non-existent, say that gameplay is unrewarding and frustrating or spend hours exploring and documenting the puzzles. I do admit I prefer an audience that is in it for the story or the exploration. They tend to be more lasting and well spoken. But saying the animations are just gifs is very reductive. Even if that was true, opposed to what? 3d DAZ goblin renders? Still CG images?
Some food for thought: what would happen if the game didn't have any adult material? Would you have played? Would you even know about it? There are thousands of better games with much more talented writers designers and programmers out there. Probably. I don't know because I haven't played them either. But I did play Fear & Hunger, Sequel and Black Souls. Adult content amplifies interest. At least for me.

Either way, since there are now people that are interested in my game for more than just porn, I must doing something right.

Any idea how to get rid of the 'chastity cage'?
And, is there any male player content?

i will say perosnaly i like everything i have seen so far of this game but the puzzles. im just bad at them but i like how there are my diffrent ways to completed them/ get to diffrent areas. what i also hate is time limits/ exploration limits i like to take my time or try many diffrent things but hate it when it gets cut shorts due to time running out. i really am curious to see what this game will be like in a few updates.

out of curiosity

Gotta say, its great to see some similar opinions when it comes to porn games and plot, it's a shame that people still write off porn games as not needing a intricate plot.

You raise a lot of good points. As for animated gifs I meant that's pretty much what they are right? They get triggered, the animation plays, there's no sound, no text, no interactivity, no ability to break out of it (dick-spider thing excepted?) then they're over and don't really have any effect on the characters or story. This is not a criticism, that's all par for the course it just seems a little odd in such a otherwise detail-oriented game where everyone has so much to say. They're more like what you'd expect in an action platformer. As for the game artwork in general it's very charming and unique.

 

[C4dn3]

Could you make your games available on itch.io?

 

[Thexmr]

HOLY F* Idk what I did but I saw a girl in black and white with completely black eyes chasing me for some seconds in the mansion while the MC was transformed as Lady Jesica, and after that by some strange coincidence my pc completely froze for a second.

Is ther an in-game gallery where the animations have audio?

I agree with this. And I'll never make a "porn game" that doesn't focus on story.
Personally I'm not a fan of the games that your entire goal is to bang or get banged. I need a story to keep me interested. Same goes for non-porn games.

 

[Thexmr]

Will there be reactions of the other characters for the changes that the MC suffers? Is just that the main character was pregnant and she was talking with Kari about the reproduction program, and it was kind of weird that she didnt notice the belly of the protagonist when talking about that

 

[Ce Putain de Sourire]

I talked to Kari about the weather and after some dialogue she said "Y'know, now that it's summer..." and just started smiling at me for 30 blank dialogue boxes?

 

[vfreq004]

Even if I basically never participate in online discourse, this time I do feel compelled to at least congratulate the developer on creating something special. I played for couple of hours about a week ago, and I still find myself thinking about it. The dream setting with pixel art allowed for very imaginative situations without transitioning into full blown body horror, and I guess I'm more into that than I would expect. The only thing I missed was some kind of sound, at least for the animated cutscenes, even if it was just office water cooler glug or some manhandled gelatin or some stock voice grunts.

 

[Ce Putain de Sourire]

I've hit a bit of a roadblock and don't know how to progress.

I was able to progress through all the new Nanami school content and backstory, and meet Kari in the drama room, but I cannot find Kari after school. The Changelog says I can find her in the WC (?) after meeting her in the lab, which I have done. However, my usual route of Going through the manor, becoming Jessica, and speedrunning the keycard no longer seems to work as I seemingly cannot become Jessica. This could be because of the game being confused as to what state I am in (I often spawn as a bunny with red Jessica hair and sometimes wake up pregnant/bloated with red hair or different colored eyes).

I've been able to stumble through the game so far, but I think I am now stuck enough to type this out to see what's going on. Is it a skill issue, technical issue, or did a sequence of events change?

 

[RawRawTrue]

Damn! To come up with games like that you definitely don't need to drink coffee! I like pixel art, but not to the point where you need 2 hours to figure out what to do next

 

[Lying Mars Bar]

I think Kari appears in the WC at dusk not afternoon

In one hand I agree a adult game —— especially a good adult game need a good story ，in other hand a good adult game must need a good/usable adult content . Your game is very tasty，just like a tasty cult movie，no need adult content to attract people. SO “ what would happen if the game didn't have any adult material? Would you have played? ” ， answer is maybe more pouplar ,because some other country can see it on steam .And I don't like Black Souls ,it can't play as Dark Souls and the adult content is not usable.

I guess there was no answer for this. So I just took it as normal.

I pressed on for a bit. I didnt get into the forest. but I got the sleep over event

I actually like the game. The slice of life part needs some work.. I wish there were reason for using the shower, or using the toilet (maybe a pee meter with the thirst and hungry). I sometimes wish you could make cooking a bit easier. Like you set what you wnat to cook, it pulls the ingredients from the fridge, and then you get an animation to cook, and sit down and eat it. Its kinda wierd only coffee has that animation.
But it would be nice if there was just more to do. More things at school. The wardrobe was kinda buggy tho. Halfway through the game, I lost half my cloths it looked like. The ones Yuri and Kari gives you. So I just ended up using the quick default options.

I enjoyed the story elements., some of the banter with Rin was cute and interesting. I really like the sutble, shes protecting you from behind the scenes. Somewhat... Shes not there all the time protecting you, but it does appear shes doing something behind the scenes ? The whole messed up dreams, and stuff not making sense does give the game some mystery. And I do quit enjoy some mind fuck story/games.

Im not going to ask about the MCs book collection, I was hoping there would be a twist and it was actually Karis books. Something like MC was keeping them because she couldnt have them at her house.. But that didnt get revealed. "my girlfriend grew a dick and my backside keeps tingling" sounds like a terrible book to read. Burn it

I'd like see alot more little scenes of interactions between dreams. say as I found the short dream where MC was in the container, Yuri trying release him, him getting swamped by the goo, and then the ovaries appearing really interesting (weird shit like that) . What would of made that scene really crisp... Is having Yuri puke onto the floor after watching the overies merge/forced into the MC before that dream ends. I feel that would of been a good way to end the dream. She did say it looked disturbing and was now embeded into her mind the next day. Would of gave the moment some nice edge . I do like how the dreams are kinda messed up. Creepy even. I think this could be explored with this type of setting.

I didnt realy do the puzzles, not my thing, I just wonder around. Then try to get out.

I generally enjoyed it. Hope more story and character interactions get put into it. That does interest me the most. Keeps me most interested. So I do think it has promise

Also, what happened to the box that was delivered on the first night. . I totally was going to open it
