Before you ask, no. No new scenes. Just me still trying to bugfix everything. Another performance update and another workaround for the main menu. The main menu should work now, and you can access the settings menu, the load and save menu via buttons at the top since the ingame menu didn't work.

DOWNLOAD 0.3.3 HERE 

ATTENTION: SAVEGAMES

Savegames are saved in a different location now. A lot of the saving trouble came from the folder being marked by windows as write only. Because of this and some other shennanigans I decided to move the save destination outsite of the folder. The save location now is:

C:\Users\"name"\AppData\Local\MANTIS\User Data\Default

This is where your saves are! Keep in mind, this doesn't fix already broken saves. It is always good to make a backup of your saves. Also, sometimes Windows hides the "AppData" folder, so make sure you make hidden folders visible.

This "should" be it. The final version. The 'picture stuck in background' bug might still occur on picture heavy scenes when you speed up up the scene. This is something I am working on, but it is currently nothing I can fix. I talked to the devs of the engine but it always takes them 3-4 days to respond, which is...frustrating.

All in all a very frustrating week. I want to move on and make render artwork and get more familiar with the new engine, but I have to work on fixing code all the time. Well, have this artwork anyway :)

The Darktoz Dilemma!

Some of you might remember that I want to work on only one game in the future, one game that is made with the new render engine and my new artwork style (which I am still developing, but since I have to finish 2 games first...I can take my time).

Now the problem is that in order to train, I already need assets. And these good quality assets are fucking expensive.

Right now I am all over the place, because I cannot decide on a scenario. Fantasy, modern, cyberpunk, space? So I am not efficient when it comes to buying assets. A futanari cock, hair, horns can be used in many different settings, fantasy modern or even cyberpunk...but medieval swords, a secretary outfit, cars or a cyberpunk bar? Cannot really be used in all of it if you get what I mean. So I have to decide soon.

"Fantasy, maybe?"

Ultimately, I have to make this decision on my own, because I have to work on it and I will have to stay motivated to work on this project for years. I am leaning towards mixing genres (maybe modern day fantasy like harry potter or a lovecraftian modern day story with supernatural mistresses, or a extremely dark fantasy universe with lots of latex and rubber or a futuristic world where males are being hunted) to create something unique, but as always, I would like to hear your opinion about it. What would be your dream setting? What would be the evil Femdom/Futadom World of your dreams? Close your eyes, envision it...and write it in the comment section :D.

Looking for input, so let me know, have a nice sunday and

stay kinky!

I'm not sure about "dream setting", but I have a suggestion that may work as a compromise: do your modern-fantasy blend, but also have an alien invasion aspect so that you can use the futuristic/cyberpunk elements as well?

Deadmanfrank

I think a futuristic world(no need to be to extremely far in time) would be really interesting. Like it could be a far far away follow up to what Mantis is trying to do but like have achieved on the whole world and now you are trying survive this Woman leading world.

Deadmanfrank

*And obviously latex and rubber is a normal way to dress in that future 😏

Deadmanfrank

And cyberwoman as enforcer police maybe?

Darktoz

mmmh...I like that, but it would basically mean that I would have to buy assets from all 3 settings, which is what I wanted to avoid :D

Darktoz

well, your suggestion isn't really tied to a scenario, right? Trying to survive in a woman leading world is something that can happen in all settings. I mean this could also be in a fantasy world where the enforcer are latex dressed warriors with swords. I am basically looking for a selling point ;)

Deadmanfrank

True, but I'm really hyped in cyberpunk 2077 so that's why I say a futuristic world is what I'm feel it come be nice

randomguy200

I rly like the idea with fantasy like harry potter

Sublen Night

Wow, this is a hard decision. If I had to choose I would personally go with a modern-fantasy / supernatural theme. I think it is the best way to have a selling point while having a little bit of everything. You could have things like a government of wicked dominant women and male slave auctions while also having things like a succubus or witches. But I'm sure whatever you decide will be great. Thanks for all the wonderful content and good luck.

Kink Baron

Darktoz pitch a poll with options for us to vote. This would be my option " extremely dark fantasy universe with lots of latex and rubber".

Darktoz

I'm so hyped for cyberpunk 2077 as well :D

Darktoz

well with harry potter I mean more like a world where supernatural creatures exist hidden in plain sight, not like a magic school of femdom with different classes ;)

Darktoz

I might do that next week, we will see. in the end I have to decide, and i have to be aware that I cannot please everyone :)

Aleksander K

I prefer modern/ near future setting, it makes game experience somewhat relatable.

Darktoz

true. on the other hand it is nice to have some hot demon girls, vampires etc. in the game that you don't find in the real world :)

Dorian Benkoil

I'm going to vote for scifi. For one thing, because scifi has the best excuse to include the others (i.e., the equivalent of Star Trek holodeck, or whatever), but also because it allows for endless possibilities that would just seem implausible unless you either have magic, or can just make up futuristic technologies that fit your kink, i.e., why should it only be Japanese schoolgirls who get ravished in several ways at once by cyborg tentacle demons, or whatever your mistress decides to unleash on you when she's bored or angry. What would a domme do, or make you do, in zero gravity? And of course the medical tech means you can get cured instantly from pretty much anything.

Darktoz

In my head sci fi would be the most complicated option...because I always think of sci fi games with having your own spaceship that you can fly to different planets with.

B. Freundlich

Great topic, as you may have noticed, I'm quite a fan of Femdom City. I'm a bit more into realistic settings. I'm not really into futas but I think dominant women with stap-ons are just hot, so I was able to make friends with the idea. What I would find interesting and with which you could cover several fields and preferences. Is the following idea: The game could be called "Femdom Planet". At first a relatively realistic setting. Except that women absolutely dominate men. Male slaves do all the work, are sold and auctioned like cattle or pets. At these auctions, certain virtues are usually emphasized and slaves are sold as work slaves, household slaves and/or sex slaves. In addition, the slaves have certain special fields, such as: ashtray, lick slave, pain slut, etc. The slaves have to specialize in the individual services themselves, through initial mini-jobs, so a bit like in Femdom City. But a little bit more futuristic. It's funny that all these men can't remember the past, not even their childhood. "Femdom Planet" is ruled by an authoritarian world government with incredible power. How these extremely dominant and authoritarian women manage to rule an entire planet is beyond everyone's imagination. Even the "normal" dominant women. The main character, who finds himself without memories in the capital of the world government. Works from bottom to the top and is slowly becoming so desired that he gets into the circles of the world government. And is finally bought by a dominant woman from the world government from a previous owner, because of certain advantages he has earned. In possession of the very dominant and super authoritarian woman who is a member of the World Council, the main character slowly gets behind the enormous power of these women. They are slightly magically gifted, similar to Harry Potter but much darker like Lovecraft. Only with these magical abilities they are able to maintain the totalitarian regime over Femdom Planet. Meanwhile, the women in the World Government talk a lot of mystical stuff about THOSE who, brought them and the men to the planet. About how THEY trained them in magical skills. They talk about THEM as if they were ancient goddesses. Through a hiding of (un)favourable coincidences the main character is also getting closer and closer to this mystery. Until he finally finds out who THEY are. They are women who look like demons, like Succubi, with horns. And partly with huge male genitals. The main character gets more and more involved with the god race. And finally finds out that these Succubi travel through portals to other worlds and abduct men and bring them to their planet to work as slaves for them, after they deleted their memories of ther past life. The main character is given the choice to either serve the very demanding, sadistic leader of the world government as her slave until the end of his days. And just forget what he had learned. Or to learn more about the why and how and become the slave of a hot futa or a succubi. Maybe a mistake but here he learns more and more about what is behind Femdom Planet. Where are the "normal women" on Femdom Planet come from? And whether he can free himself after all? Basically we have three different endings (World Leader, Futa or Succubi) for the game similar to Captured by Dark Elves or Asylum. You wouldn't have to buy so many assets, because a wand or a pentragram on the ground should be enough for world government. Besides the number of scenes with magical content is quite reduced. With the Futas and Succubi you could let off steam with frames of different ends. And the player could learn even more about Femdom Planet. This is already very concrete, I'm aware of that, but you asked for a dream setting. Best Regards und schöne Pfingstmontag

Darktoz

wow, already very thought out. you might want to pick up a game engine yourself, just saying ;)

B. Freundlich

Like I said, you asked for a dream setting. ;) Thanks for the compliment, I'm good at coding and maybe story telling, but I suck at animation or build in 3D at all. Maybe you like elements from this idea or you can be inspired by it. I would love to see stuff or elements like this realized by you. Lets hope some more people fill this thread with their ideas too. :o)

JB

I really like the medievel fantasy setting. Something similar to Captured by Dark Elves, which is the game I originally subscribed for.

A

I was thinking your Cyperpunk idea with the portal to fantasy world was the perfect setting. You could use all different assets as the need arises. There could be technologically backwards planets that look like run down modern areas or there could be a "interdimensional district" with a fantasy looking environment. And you could have high-tech areas as well. Each planet could be a relatively small area that you could explore and each planet could be very distinct. Sort of like Trials in Tainted Space, minus the wilderness areas.

jon

see the thing is, its a fantasy world, so why not have a little bit of everything (but have the main focus around one setting) like for instance if you do world with a portal like A from the comment before this said, you could have the main world where you spend 90% of your game on be cyberpunk and then have harry potter type of world, but ultimately do what you think you should do, remember you're making the game, and if you think you will like it then chances are most of your fans will like, and you can add stuff in later if people really want it and you can just make possible to disable in case its only a handful of people that want it, but ultimately we are supporting you because you make the right decisions on your games and you make great games, although i thought leveling up in the second chapter of captured by dark elves when you were in the next zone was just slightly too tedious but i still played it and enjoyed the game

jon

and one more thing can that character in that picture be a main character? lol

Captain Gregg

Loving it all so far. I like the cyberpunk angle. But futa demons are always good by me. :-)

Snender

Well i would like a mixture out of Fantasy and near future, like shadowrun :)

Robby Roo

On the topic of FCity, really nice update. I didn't face any problems so far( v 0.3.2), so to me it's a quality update. Also, loved the scene where the game ended. On the topic of a new setting, I guess you could merge everything you want into something nearing magical realism with just a tinge of disbelief(i.e, the futa). Something along the lines of Final Fantasy....that would be golden imo

Darktoz

yes, can't go wrong with that one :)

Darktoz

yes, hard decision, right ;)

Darktoz

i have an idea for something like that, but it is with a spaceship, not with portals....but right now it is a bit too much for me to combine visual novel and space exploring

Darktoz

thanks. ultimately I am going to decide myself, of couse. but I am always looking for community input :)

Darktoz

i love shadowrun, big fan of the setting and the lore :)

Darktoz

thanks, glad you like it :). The thing is that I need the assets to build such a world, and something completely unique like the look in final fantasy is hard to pull off.

Robby Roo

I understand .Well, as long as its femdom, you have my support for whatever it is you are planning.

Darktoz

good to know, thank you :)

Vilian0Vic

Personally, I would steer away from medieval fantasy and towards a modern setting at least, because it just gives you more options and makes the game more relatable. Whether it's a mix of modern/fantasy, modern with sci-fi elements or a straight up space opera doesn't matter that much. I am sure you will make it work and make it fun. :) And latex. Always lots and lots of latex!

Daniel

No complaints, 0.3.2 worked perfect for me! Loved the new scenes, just wished you could have walked the final path. As for new setting, maybe some along the lines of Altered Carbon/Ghost in the Shell, maybe a lot of work but I think there are many routes you could go with that, just a though! Anyway good work, can’t wait to see/play the rest

markymike

+1 here for Fantasy, Monstergirls/Futa😇

Darktoz

thanks :) what was altered carbon again? the netflix series with immortals that upload their brain to new bodies, right?

Darktoz

so, medieval fantasy...or modern fantasy or cyberpunk fantasy or sci fi fantasy? ;)

Darktoz

yeah, there can never be enough latex :D

Daniel

Something along those lines... they could upload there conscious to a new “skin”

Darktoz

yes, i remember. didn't watch it till the end, might have to set that on my bucket list again

jon

the last picture, the futa demon or devil whatever she is considered

Darktoz

definitely...she isn't final, so outfit, hair and face might change, but I'm too much of a demon fan to not use her ;)

markymike

😋 if I have to choose I would say medivial or sci fi. hard to decide😅🙈

Skull93

Just played through the first 56 days and want to tell you I really enjoy the quality of your work/art and the effort you put into the dialogues and the world itself, keep up the great work! I know you already stated at the "end screen" that you are working alone and already have a hard time doing everything alone, I just wanted to ask you, if there are any chances you are going to implement stuff like (face) farting or full toilet domination/scat and the likes? Or are these rather not your kinda fetishes/too extreme? Thanks again! :)

Darktoz

thanks. I don't know about face farting, that is an option. But I currently have no intention to make anything scat related.

John

I really like the idea of an Urban Fantasy.... real time with a strong supernatural feel and lots of futa ;)

Nanus

After CbDE and Fermdom Citiy MANTIS, I think that a space environment is not only a kind of diversification, but would also suit your new artwork style perfectly. Imagine working on a spaceship as slave of a female crew, visiting other planets and have to cope with the weird habits and kinky rules of the residents there ... If you actually take the space environment into consideration, please don't forget to implement a giant futanari cyborg with a huge steel cock, through which slaves must suck their astronaut's food. However, I'm quite curious in which way you gonna use your new render engine, but I'm fully convinced you will make the most of it. Thanks again for your great work so far !

Darktoz

yeah i like that one, too. but I like pretty much every setting :)

Darktoz

well, if we go for the future it will be cyberpunk. just because I am not ready to implement spaceship mechanics into the game, and for cyberpunk the scope can be a city...instead of multiple planets. but a giant futanari cyborg with a steel cock sounds like a good idea :D

BeneathUK

I love the new artwork, looks even better than your other work and THAT's saying something.

BeneathUK

As for new game settings. My preference is for somewhat contemporary. I feel like Cyberpunk and Fantasy has been done to death. But, we already have the Asylum and Femdom City so I'm aware that my tastes have already been catered for. I like the idea idea of the dystopian future where males are hunted, but that's kind of similar to FDC... So maybe the Lovecraft thing would work. Gothic horror and BDSM are probably a good match and that offers potential for some interesting and original interactions, not to mention tentacles!

Darktoz

i think the gothic bdsm themes will somehow always make it into my games, no matter of the setting :D

Michelle

Hello, Darktoz! My post refers to the first half of yours. I found a bug that you already know, obviously. ;) After the Cunnilingus-Scene of Day 27/29 with the Masked MANTIS-Member, a picture of this stuck in the game, makes even "working" quite unamusing. Me thinks, it has nothing to do with the saves as even an older one doesn't fix it. Do I have to reinstall FC? Other than that, thank you so much for your work!!

Darktoz

unless you have backuped saves, yes. when you have backup saves you can simply erase all the saves in the folder and then add the backup saves

Michelle

Thank you for the quick answer. Of course, I havn't got any backups, because that would be smart... *rolleyes* XD

Nanus

Well, call it cyberpunk or space environment, basically you know what I'm aiming at: insane women under armour with massive weapons ;-)

Skull93

Yeah just my 2 cents, as mentioned I already enjoy your work a lot :) But i just couldnt help myself but think that face farting would make a great addition in all/some of those sexy smother scenes

Dorian Benkoil

yeah I know and then the planets seem to consist of maybe three or four rooms. But it's avoidable. A cyberpunk future where you're exploring a half-ruined city, or strange bunker, or giant space station, or it could be a less bleak, more sleek future where the women who run the world command awesome technologies you don't even understand (simulation, robotics, capture fields, teleportation), and you end up an at-first-unwitting pawn in the games they play against each other for entertainment. I'm thinking... okay, what if one element is something like Westwoirld with ultra-realistic robots allowing you to recreate any past or fantasy universe, but you don't know which ones are real and which are simulations controlled by the real dommes who are playing. The possibilities are endless

g005e

How can i use 0.3.2 saves on 0.3.3 version? Where can i find 0.3.2 saves?

Darktoz

inside the 0.3.2 folder. like explained above, they need to be in the new destination

arn

i saved one slot but i cannot find the folder C:\Users\"name"\AppData\Local\MANTIS\User Data\Default ....

Darktoz

sometimes on windows the AppData folder is hidden. for various reasons. so make sure you make hidden folders visible, it is in the folder settings (hard to explain, best to google it)

arn

yes i found it , thx
