not sure if its viable but I think a kinky mode with some basic premade punishments and the ability to add/remove them for your own punishments would be super cool!
I have a suggestion! How about a toggle option for a soft audio beep when it turns green, and a boop when it turns red? Then players could play with their eyes closed when they're sleepy or using their imagination, or if they're multitasking with doing something "fun" on the computer or with a partner or with a toy! Lots more utility!
It does sound useful, I really wish I had a way to know how much people would want this or that added... But this one convinces me and will *hopefully* not be too much work or threaten the stability of the app!
Hm this seems very noisy to me, with the constant tick sounds the whole time that you're in green phase. What I would recommend instead is a single sound when switching from red to green phase and another single sound when switching from green to red phase.
What's been done covers the need of several user's suggestion (the noise not only indicate it's green, it also gives you the stroke rhythm without having to focus on the flashing).
And I realise my previous post was ambiguous: I really meant "a tick when flashing green", as opposed to also a tick when the flash goes black too. Anyways,
Please contact me on Discord or Telegram if you *really* want this, can talk there.
Oh, didn't notice that haha. There are just a few options that I'd like to add and I'm definitely willing to help add them.. or just add them for myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
It would be nice if the code was de-minified though :P
could you make slideshow go under 5 seconds? also can you add an option to where if there is a video/gif, make it so that it repeats itself until you click next, or lasts the full gif/video amount of time that is on the video, also could you make an option to where 'show in e621' goes to your main browser instead of a popup
I found a way to convert the contents of the app folder within the resources folder to an apk. Everything works great, but local files are still locked.
Probably won't touch this version, but for inspiration for the next game, can you tell me what you mean more precisely? is it something visible? What does it lok like and how does it behave?
such a great idea for a game! would like it if pictures advanced automatically, and if there were more variety in the prompts, but there's only so many ways one can masturbate. maybe for the sequel there can be some kind of options for any toys you might be using while playing, and different prompts can appear based on whichever toys you selected, cuz I'm sure those who have toys would love to use them. again tho, LOVE the game!!
But pictures do switch automatically, everytime the green bar's done?
The "next" button was created just so it's possible to skip a pic if not feeling like looking at that one. It's mislead a good number of people into believing they're meant to scroll through pictures manually every few seconds, from the feedback so far.
There's a lot of small things lacking, and fine tuning the experience for everyone would be both super time consuming, and make the game even more complex in terms of options to set. This game is in a frustrating limbo between "just a proof of concept" and "not very polished game", and the next game isn't coming along nearly as fast as I'd like it to :/
OHHH yeah I didn't know it was supposed to be 1 pic at a time, guess I'll try it like that for next time. Sorry to hear both of the games' aren't progressing as you'd like, but at the very least, you still managed to make a game people really enjoy, which is absolutely an accomplishment to be proud of! Hoping for the best!
Really nice game! I wish you could save multiple e621 search tags so you don't have to type tell each time you want to switch content and have the ability to play animations.
think itd be possible to make slideshow a toggle for the other two gamemodes, instead of being its own thing? its kinda hard to switch pictures when youre constantly having to stay on your toes and use both hands
The slideshow is a "gamemode" with stop screens removed, and endless. The picture changes everytime the progress bar is complete, like in other gamemodes.
From what I understand, you would have liked the picture to automatically change very often, even in the middle of a green step?
Alright, will see if we can have more options in the next game then. I'm trying to not add to much to this one and will focus on the next with hopefully everything better.
Love you this game, and I can't wait to see what you do for the sequel ^^
I thought it would be pretty neat if the user could opt in to set a timer between sessions. Like, after you finish a session and the game decides you don't get to cum, you'd be locked out for a preset or random amount of time. That way it's easier to enforce the decision or something ><
love this game dude! do you have any sort of timescale for when the sequel might be done? totally cool if you're not even close yet, making games and shit from scratch alone is tricky!
Glad you do <3 Unfortunately no idea when significant progress will be done. I need to keep pushing for the needed team members to make time for it and unlock the situation, me included.
Real life situation has gotten better for me, so there's hope for progress soon!
Great game, I was just thinking it might be nice to have an audible stroke speed indicator, as sometimes I end up focusing on the green dot instead of the porn.
I just got done on the hardest difficulty and it made me go for 5 hours for some reason I'm not even kidding, whether that's a glitch or a feature I don't even care but it gave me an idea
Adding safewords/safelights, for example, a list of 3-4 words/lights you can click based on how much longer you think you can handle, each button making it more likely the AI will let you orgasm soon, the last button letting you cum on the next timer.
I like the idea behind this, will see how we do in the next game.
If you're talking about hardest in endurance, 5h sounds weird. Intended to more or less cap at 4h, maybe something was a bit off in the formula, oops...
I played this game on the hardest difficulty: reach an orgasm while on anti-depressants and heavily depressed. Yet I still won, because I am A FREAKIN GAMER.
I'm having a bit of trouble wording this, but I can think of a few improvements to your game. I can also implement them and have some of the code that would be necessary already developed. Some of the ideas I have in mind are:
Allowing the user to use files from anywhere on their PC (this is relatively simple but requires using electron which means that there would need to be a different browser version than the local version)
Allowing the user to see all previous images (really easy to do with local files but not sure about files from the net)
Moving the progress bar to the side and adding a slider for font size (in turn, this makes the pictures larger)
Adding perpetual image loading which can load more images than just the next one. That would probably have to come with a slider so that the user can set how many pictures ahead they want to load. They would still load one at a time (once again, this is easy with local files, but I am not sure for files from the net)
For local files, add lazy loading or something similar (reduces initial loading times while still loading things fast). I am not sure if you already have this feature because I haven't used the game locally
I can probably add more stuff as it should be mostly easy. The only problem is integrating my code to your game as I can't read most of the code you've written because it uses $ which I don't understand, and I would also need to separate the functions to make it easier to read. Also, I have no clue how to load images from the internet. Additionally, I don't know how to use jQuery. However, I can do all those things above without it so long as I can treat the files from the internet the same as I do local files. If you are interested, just let me know.
This is such a good game! it helps heaps with masturbation and edging (duh)
I've seen a little bit of talk about a 'next game', is there like an ETA on that, because this one was really good so a better and more refined one sounds awesome!
I really want to see the next game come to life too, at the moment I'm pretty busy working on art commissions, and sorting prep things out.
Seeing people comment about it really makes me want to speed things up, that will help. I'll admit I'm responsible for it not moving forward yet, stress and stuff, once I manage to get over it, it should go a lot faster.
I mean there is no need to rush it, if you're busy, you're busy and you cant really help that, so take your time! I'd much rather wait a few extra months for a full game than get one tomorrow that barely runs, y'know?
Yes, it was very bad for image display wasn't it? Cab see a lot more of the images now. Itch.io doesn't seem to give me a choice, can't allow screen rotation, it's one or the other.
Oh I love this concept!! I am very excited to see the next game and how much customization options there will be! great work!
(PS: this game doesn't seem to work trough the itch.io app sadly, ((I can't type anything through the app)) but it works perfectly when just downloaded normally!)
Happy you like it <3 I'm really looking forward to bringing more to this with the next game!
What you describe reminds me a bit of an issue someone had very early on, it was a focus problem and clicking on another window and then back in itch.io was fixing it for me. It doesn't look like there was a fix for it, it suddenly got better.
Sorry if this doesn't help. Pretty crazy that something as simple as a text field can break, and pretty sure it's out of my hands.
I think you can download the zip and unzip on mobile too? The "local" feature may or may not work depending on how the browser app handles opening local HTML files.
I was able to test on an Android phone and it was working here.
If not images are showing, it could be Javascript not running or a permission issue only for some phones, hard to tell. Would probably need a test version with the help of people having the issue, to see if any errors pop up, something like that.
Also realised landscape mode was forced which left so little room for pictures, at least that should be better....
what if it had a like insult mode or where it called you names and claimed the plyers part as the game like for example it could say Hands off my cock and call the player slut or pet (or other things) i may say though this is fun
We'll try to cover a lot more options in the next game, it's pretty awkward to mention the player's penis when they don't have one for example... Narratively speaking this was put together super quickly as a proof of concept and didn't have much flexibility. I'll take this opportunity to mention that progress on next game is paused for now, and will hopefully be restarted soon when most members are less busy with life!

What does the app mean by "good, let's go for more, no stopping"?
It's a line used in Endurance mode. Like all the others, it encourages the player to keep edging, there isn't much more to it.
Like to keep edging even when it's on the red screen or the player still has to stop edging on the screen?
Still is supposed to stop. It means keep playing, but follow the rules still.
Ah ok, just it confused me lol
The search for pictures button doesn't work :(
e6 API is unavailable. Nothing to do but wait.
not sure if its viable but I think a kinky mode with some basic premade punishments and the ability to add/remove them for your own punishments would be super cool!
I agree it would be nice, but won't add to this one. Definitely going to try and get something like this is the next one.
NEXT ONE????
HELLL YEAAA
Whats the next one youre working on? Can i ask what it is or are you saving that for release?
hey when i use the e621 search a message pops up saying try again later
So, did you try again later?
I have a suggestion! How about a toggle option for a soft audio beep when it turns green, and a boop when it turns red? Then players could play with their eyes closed when they're sleepy or using their imagination, or if they're multitasking with doing something "fun" on the computer or with a partner or with a toy! Lots more utility!
It does sound useful, I really wish I had a way to know how much people would want this or that added...
But this one convinces me and will *hopefully* not be too much work or threaten the stability of the app!
Thought I'd make an update, it's not as easy as I hoped it would be. I'll definitely add something like that in the future game!
Real life is making it very hard for me to work on anything sadly, and this game is kinda finished and very low priority in terms of updates.
I ended up trying again and making it work, settled for a single tick when going green so it doesn't get too noisy when fast!
Hm this seems very noisy to me, with the constant tick sounds the whole time that you're in green phase. What I would recommend instead is a single sound when switching from red to green phase and another single sound when switching from green to red phase.
What's been done covers the need of several user's suggestion (the noise not only indicate it's green, it also gives you the stroke rhythm without having to focus on the flashing).
And I realise my previous post was ambiguous: I really meant "a tick when flashing green", as opposed to also a tick when the flash goes black too. Anyways,
Please contact me on Discord or Telegram if you *really* want this, can talk there.
Do you plan to make this open source?
Not really, would people have a use for that? The code is already in the zip, I could stop minifying the JS for the size it saves...
Oh, didn't notice that haha. There are just a few options that I'd like to add and I'm definitely willing to help add them.. or just add them for myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
It would be nice if the code was de-minified though :P
You can contact me on Discord or Telegram too, can be found on my main page linked in game
could you make slideshow go under 5 seconds? also can you add an option to where if there is a video/gif, make it so that it repeats itself until you click next, or lasts the full gif/video amount of time that is on the video, also could you make an option to where 'show in e621' goes to your main browser instead of a popup
I'm looking at the "show in e621" button (it really isn't good in the new Electron app...), however the rest will have to stay as is in this version.
Is there going to be an APK release or a way to build it ourselves?
I sure would like a way, but I don't know if it is possible/easy enough to turn this HTML/JS app into an APK.
I found a way to convert the contents of the app folder within the resources folder to an apk. Everything works great, but local files are still locked.
Could you contact me on Discord or Telegram? This could be good.
Details on my main page
Is there any r34 equivalent of this, or are you planning to incorporate that in the future?
Not in this version, will see if can do while working on the next game.
I suggest adding a button to the slideshow mode to start a cum countdown like in the other modes to finish the "presentation"
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm adding this to my notes and will see what we do with this idea in the next game!
Hows the next game going? I keep coming back to this because i love the idea
Hi, thank you for your interest <3
I'm sure you're far from the only one waiting for updates on that. Work has yet again been postponed due to team members availability.
It's quite frustrating but there isn't much more I can do but wait, ETA for availability is end of the year.
Great game! Really engaging and way more intense than normal.
to further improve the gaming, perhaps you could add a metronome to further help with the rhythme to stroke :D
Probably won't touch this version, but for inspiration for the next game, can you tell me what you mean more precisely? is it something visible? What does it lok like and how does it behave?
IMO they are on about an audio metronome, so it would be a tick similar to an analog clock instead or in addition to the background flashing.
I lost with 10 pictures to go
Probably need just a bit more practice then :3
Yeah cuz its not something I usually do :)
such a great idea for a game! would like it if pictures advanced automatically, and if there were more variety in the prompts, but there's only so many ways one can masturbate. maybe for the sequel there can be some kind of options for any toys you might be using while playing, and different prompts can appear based on whichever toys you selected, cuz I'm sure those who have toys would love to use them. again tho, LOVE the game!!

Still really good work!
Thanks! And good feedback, will keep in mind.
Will there ever be a mobile version on this game?
Already asked that, This game won't have a Apk download However, The sequel to this game MIGHT
What the other person said, however, it does work in browsers on mobile, which is good.
think itd be possible to make slideshow a toggle for the other two gamemodes, instead of being its own thing? its kinda hard to switch pictures when youre constantly having to stay on your toes and use both hands

yep, thats exactly what i was askin!
Alright, will see if we can have more options in the next game then. I'm trying to not add to much to this one and will focus on the next with hopefully everything better.
will there ever be a macos version to download rather than just the web browser?
Possible but no promises yet.. If I can make it work, I will make it available. Dev is under way!
amazing!! thanks for the consideration :)
Would you be interested in helping testing a Mac build? Please add me on Discord if so!
Love you this game, and I can't wait to see what you do for the sequel ^^
I thought it would be pretty neat if the user could opt in to set a timer between sessions. Like, after you finish a session and the game decides you don't get to cum, you'd be locked out for a preset or random amount of time. That way it's easier to enforce the decision or something ><
Thank you :3
I don't think I'll add a feature like that to this one, but it might inspire something for the sequel, we'll see!
wow this mite be the 1s of its kind love it
love it!
love this game dude! do you have any sort of timescale for when the sequel might be done? totally cool if you're not even close yet, making games and shit from scratch alone is tricky!
Glad you do <3

Great game, I was just thinking it might be nice to have an audible stroke speed indicator, as sometimes I end up focusing on the green dot instead of the porn.
Will see if can implement in the next game,
Have you tried background mode instead of circle? Could help not having to look at the corner, just using peripheral vision?
It's also an option to look at the speed for 2 secs to roughly get the rhythm and not need to look again.
in the endurance mode the background mode doesnt work, ive been having to use the edge mode to have background flas
You're right, I just found what was forgotten, gonna try to upload a fixed update quckly.
Thanks for telling me!
its been like that for months lol.
dont think anyone was willing to say it
I just got done on the hardest difficulty and it made me go for 5 hours for some reason I'm not even kidding, whether that's a glitch or a feature I don't even care but it gave me an idea

Yo, I'm sorry to hear life's making you play hard mode at the moment... But nice achievement, game on!

Hi! Thanks for your interest, add me on Discord or Telegram, contact info can be found by clicking the in-game link to my gallery!
Someone recommended a clock to show how long you lasted, but how about one to tell you how long you have left?
I prefer the game not telling the player. Else there can be no fakeouts with the progressbar.
How about a setting to include one?
Will consider what we can do! Maybe a good idea will pop up during development.
will there ever be one for r34 website
As of now, no plans for any other website support.
This is such a good game! it helps heaps with masturbation and edging (duh)

Thanks a lot :3
i'm not exaggerating when i say that this has revolutionized the way i masturbate and quite possibly helped with my premature ejaculation
This is awesome! Glad this has had such a positive impact on you, thanks for the feedback <3
such a good one , but it would be great if you could choose more than 1 "cum picture" same as when u use "local pictures" .
BTW: i liked this as well , i'd love to see more in future updates or new games ^-^
Glad you're enjoying it! We'll see how we do this in the next game!
On mobile it used to be horizontal but now only goes vertically.
Yes, it was very bad for image display wasn't it? Cab see a lot more of the images now.
Itch.io doesn't seem to give me a choice, can't allow screen rotation, it's one or the other.
What if there was a clock that told you how long you lasted when you go back to the menu?
Might have a use for this idea. Thank you!
Oh I love this concept!! I am very excited to see the next game and how much customization options there will be! great work!
(PS: this game doesn't seem to work trough the itch.io app sadly, ((I can't type anything through the app)) but it works perfectly when just downloaded normally!)

Oh yeah that seems to work! Thanks!
Will the be a mobile download coming in the future?
I think you can download the zip and unzip on mobile too?
The "local" feature may or may not work depending on how the browser app handles opening local HTML files.
When I tried it on my android phone the buttons didn't work properly and none of the images loaded, including the lucia/lucas image.
Hiya,
I was able to test on an Android phone and it was working here.
If not images are showing, it could be Javascript not running or a permission issue only for some phones, hard to tell. Would probably need a test version with the help of people having the issue, to see if any errors pop up, something like that.
Also realised landscape mode was forced which left so little room for pictures, at least that should be better....
What browser(s) did it work on? My experience with HTML-based games has been very hit or miss, and I wonder if it's a browser issue.
It's Samsung's browser apparently, I also tried Chrome and was fine too for me.
what if it had a like insult mode
or where it called you names and claimed the plyers part as the game
like for example it could say
Hands off my cock
and call the player slut or pet (or other things)
i may say though this is fun
There may be a compromise in the next game, I hope most will be happy :3
:0
How is progress going on that follow up game?
Still on hold, couldn't get much done last month because of health issues. Still hoping I can get it started properly soon next to my regular art.
Good game, I hope that they add different modes for like anal play or fleshlights
We'll try to cover a lot more options in the next game, it's pretty awkward to mention the player's penis when they don't have one for example... Narratively speaking this was put together super quickly as a proof of concept and didn't have much flexibility.
I'll take this opportunity to mention that progress on next game is paused for now, and will hopefully be restarted soon when most members are less busy with life!
