Inc House v0.105a Public Release

Hello public peeps, Whimfu1 here. Inc House v0.105a is now available to everyone.

Lots has happened since my last public update. If you did not see my other post, I will be trying to finish the game within 6 months. This is in an attempt to beat the possibility that the recent takedowns of NSFW games hits Patreon and Subscribestar. For more information on that please read through the post either here for Patrons or here for Subscribestars.



On another note, the next community voted NPC is being decided now. We’re in the Round Robin Stage so get in early to decide the bracket. I’ll be picking up the pace on these votes soon so watch out for the next batch tomorrow.

Moving on to the update, I believe since the last public demo Lori, Ronnie Anne, and Leni’s story climax have been added. This came with a bunch new flags so I’m sorry, your save is likely broken. After working so long on this game, I’ve grown a new appreciation for developers who can make prior saves work. I just have never had the foresight.

Thank you for playing the game. Please consider joining the Patreon or Subscribestar to help choose the next NPC. And I’ll talk to you soon.

Major Bug Found: Touch minigames allow you to touch and remove clothes of heroines earlier than intended. I’m going to sneak in a new flag during the sleep cycle to hopefully prepare people’s saves for version 0.105a however the bug will remain.

Ride1 Added to Leni’s Flair Menu to be repeatable.

Week 41 Mafia Wife and Worrisome News about NSFW Games

 

Whimfu1 here.

There’s been some worrisome news in the NSFW games industry. If you haven’t heard, both Steam and itch have been removing certain NSFW games to comply with Visa and Mastercard guidelines. I won’t get into the exact specifics but I personally believe there is a chance Patreon and, less so, Subscribestar could implement changes as well.

What does this mean for the game? It’s honestly lighting a fire under my ass. The new goal is to finish the game in 6 months.

This is a really hard task and I don’t take it lightly. I feel incredibly lucky the game is as far as it is to even try this. I will mainly focus on rearranging what I have but, don’t worry, new H-scenes will be added as well. What I’m hoping for is to finish the main story and return to clean up the side quests with the knowledge I could get deplatformed at any moment. I’m fairly confident I’ll be able to get the storylines for Leni, Luna, and Rita done in this time frame and I’d see that as a win if I could do that.

What if I get deplatformed? Let’s be clear, this is a huge possibility. As of this morning, 21,000 games were delisted from itch. It could easily happen here.

For now you can still follow the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/whimgames and the Subscribestar: https://subscribestar.adult/whimgames . But these may not be up forever.

Patreon has changed their rules in the past and Subscribestar is a prime target for the takedown. I will continue to work on the game regardless however, if it happens, the best place to reach me is my Deviant Art Account: https://www.deviantart.com/whimfu1

I did have an old blog as well but I won’t be updating that unless I get deplatformed. Still, this is the link to it: https://inchousegame.blogspot.com/

Now that you know where to find me, let’s talk about the polls and such. The polls to choose the next NPC will be accelerated. I want to know who it will be as quick as possible so if things do go down then the community will still have chosen them. I will be putting the pin-up polls on pause for a while as I do this so I can focus on the NPC polls and the game as a whole.

The public version of Inc House v0.105a will also come out today. It will likely be in the middle of the night as I’ve taken a long time to write this post. I won’t be able to offer much hotfix support as I’m jumping straight into v0.11a afterward. This sucks but I really think things may go down soon.

Thank you for all the support you have given Inc House. My wish has always been to get a finished game out and I won’t let the current chaos distract me.

PS: It stinks that I need to write such a serious post when I was so proud of the pin-up this week. I was going to even try some other cool things with it when this stuff popped up. Still, this week’s winner was the: King Pin and Mafia Wife Theme. Vote wise it was:

3 votes for Magicians Assistants

1 vote for the Nun

5 votes for the Mafia Wife

I kept it in the game’s style for this one as I’m hoping to draw some attention to the public launch today, however I’m gonna release it on it's own for now to get eyes on the post. Anyways, that’s it for now, talk to you soon.

Inc House - Rita's Miltank Cosplay Halloween 2023

 Whimfu1 here.

It wasn’t really promised but I mentioned I was going to try and include Rita in my previous Halloween pic. However, she didn’t fit well in the composition so I elected to remove her. Instead, here is Rita dressed like the Pokemon: Miltank. I don’t remember what season this one is from however I thought it was popular at the time. Weirdly, I found very few fanarts of Miltank to go off of so the clothing pattern is wrong. Oh well.

About the game.

Version 0.02a is about done. There’s some stream lining interactions I’d like to do however it is playable as is. I’m going to spend one day fixing a few things and move on. Once that’s done I plan to start the process of opening a Patreon. Depending if I reach certain goals with support I’ll consider broadening the game to include versions of the other sisters as full heroines and not simply as cameo appearances as they are planned to be currently.

As things progress, where and how I update people about the game will likely change.

Inc House - Team Rocket Cosplay Halloween 2023

 

Whimfu1 here

Nothing visually new in the game so I tried to quickly draw a Halloween 2023 pic. I’ve missed a few holidays since starting this project so it feels nice to do a quick draw without much planning. Have a good one.

Inc House - Scramble Puzzle

 Whimfu1 here.

Mostly coding stuff this week so nothing sexy to show. Anyways, here's a minigame I struggled with for a while. It’s a bit hard to tell but the basic premise is that it’s a word scramble puzzle. You click and drag the letters into the correct box before time runs out to spell a word described by a hint.  The current plan is to have the book in Lincoln’s room be how you unlock new spells. For the first level it would be to study the book three times then have a choice of different puzzles to unlock a spell associated with it in the shop.

There’s a chance of failing which I’m still on the fence on. I’m debating whether to make the lust drain, eventually killing the player, an actual mechanic or only a narrative device. I do like games with a bit more interactivity however I worry I may be trying to shove in too many pointless actions for my own sake. This minigame may be a bit too cumbersome compared to the other games I have planned, however I believe it makes Lincoln feel as studious as the in-game dialogue suggests. I may scale this back depending on people’s reaction to v0.02a.

Inc House - Rita Couch Stage 2 WIP Lined

 

Whimfu1 here.

Most of my efforts in the past week have been towards making stage 2 in the Rita Couch Scene.

If you have been following these updates then you may recognize the image from a previous sketch. It will take some time to finish this stage. More to the sense that I had to pre-plan which parts to keep separate and which parts to group together. This has caused many issues as I have been hand animating the motions. I’m considering looking for another drawing program for animation more akin to older flash; however I will continue with Krita for now.

I’m worried that my skills may have reached some sort of limit as I don’t know if my animations will be arousing enough. For this pinching scene you can tell I’m using the warp tool to stretch from the original position. When the player clicks on this area, I hope that the feeling that you are the one choosing to do this transfers through. This is taking a lot of screens to do and I don’t know if my limit animations will pull through. I will have to wait till the 0.02a to see what people think.
