The next update will contain the memory room where you can access unlocked scenes and rewatch them! We have to thank supporter AnonymousDipstick for helping out and making sure that Shadow over Blackmore will be the first of my games with a feature like that. The memory room will be available through the main menu.


I've already fixed the main menu bug where at times when you switch between options the menu disappears, so everything works extremely smooth and hopefully will when the gallery is finally available.

One question we ran into: Should the memory room contain all the scenes or only the "spicy" ones?

What I mean by that is for example when you meet The Matriarch the first time in her office, she uses one of her skills, keeps you in place and licks your cheek. Is that a scene for the memory room?

Or the chastity lock up scene. It is a short one, but for many being locked up into chastity can be very arousing. So is that a scene that should be accessed through the memory room?

It's these two in particular I was wondering about. It will be important to determine which scenes will be in the memory room and which ones will be only available when you play through the game...

I am torn on this one. On one hand I don't want to bloat up the gallery and making every small scene available decreases the replay value of the game, plus these scenes are very short. On the other hand I can understand why people rightfully say that if a whipping scene is in the memory room, chastity should be as well, facelicking should be as well and so on and so forth...


...so I've decided to put this out to a vote and see what the community is thinking about it.

Poll will be up for a week, you can post your thoughts on this in the comments, and if you are unsure or don't care, you can select both options (or neither of them).

Have a nice sunday and...


...stay kinky!

What if the "every possible scene" means a scene with at least 10-15 lines of dialogue or at least 3-4 different screens?

Darktoz

well we won't start putting in things like Bellatrix introducing herself or driving you around. if the criteria is at least 15 lines of dialogue and 4 different screens...that is literally every single scene in the game

Sorry, I meant sceens with lewd content, not driving/meeting etc.

Also, you can sort the scenes by the number of screens/dialogue and just take top N scenes where N is a desired gallery size.

Alright! Pony play! Yes mistress!

Ivarson

the new male character looks great, I like it :)

Darktoz

it's pretty much the same character, just gave him different hair for this render ;)

If it doesn't affect file size I don't see why not, are the replays gonna be locked until you view them in game, if so are you able to add hints to each of the locked replays?

Darktoz

well the hint will be that you see the name of the person you have the scene with. it will be locked until unlocked ingame, yes

Could you maybe make every scene available in the memory room but have an option to hide or favourite specific scenes?

yeguang

I have a question. Can we see different CG of different futa degrees in the memory room

Anonymous

My opinion on this is that Ren'Py makes it super easy and quick to replay through the story and find specific scenes, not to mention save files. That said, i don't personally use memory room or galleries much, i tend to prefer finding that moment in-game and getting into the context again.

Darktoz

not really, no. i mean you can decide what scenes you want to hide by simply not unlocking them, but you cannot hide a scene in the memory room that you've unlocked

Darktoz

you mean the different demons that appear in the slider? not really, no. the scenes will get unlocked in the memory room once you encounter them ingame. meaning if you want to unlock the futa sex scene with jinx in the memory room you have to encounter it ingame with the requirement of the futa-meter being above 26+. otherwise the scene stays hidden until you unlock it

Darktoz

so if you for example don't want any futanari related scenes, just play the game with the futameter set to 0. that way you won't encounter the scenes and they don't unlock in the memory room

yeguang

So if my futa meter setting is not high enough, I need to play more times if I want to unlock all CG, right? (I love futa, but I also like female, so I probably will set like 70, but I also want see all female CG and futa CG)

Darktoz

yes, right now that's the way it is. In theory one could also make it that you for example unlock all versions of a scene with a character that has both futa/female options...not sure if that is wanted though...and right now that option isn't in the game

yeguang

I think you can consider make voting to decide make that option or not. I think many people need it

Darktoz

I'm pretty much the same but I can understand people that want to have it all in one place or don't even want to play through the story and rather rush through the content to get to the xxx scenes. I also sometimes just forget to save right before an interesting scene, so I get why it is a popular request

Oberober

So long as performance is not hindered, I think a library of all scenes would be fabulous. If it delays the next release, cut it down I'd say. Oh, and by the way----- Holy flying fuck balls, that cow girl futa us uber hot.

Darktoz

yea i think the sunglasses really look nice on her...should do sunglasses wearing characters more often

Nanus

Frankly speaking I don't need a memory room at all, since I don't wanna watch scenes when ripped out of the context. In this regard I'm afraid that because of this memory room, the inventory, the new method of animations, high quality renders, etc. you might lose the focus on the most important thing (at least for me): the storyline. However, you have the chance to dispel my doubts on the occasion of the next update, to which I'm eagerly looking forward to. Thanks again for your great work and stay kinky.

Fattycakes

Well I normally am on the side of as much as possible, for this I would say just the big scenes. It's so easy to replay/make save files, that if a small scene has an effect on you, it's easy to just make a save for it, and enjoy it whenever you want. For that reason, I would say just the big impactful scenes, as they are what are going to get the vast majority of the replays, and are going to be worth the effort.

Darktoz

nah, I don't see why an inventory or my new render quality let me lose the focus on the storyline. I mean these are already implemented in the game and the story is already written out. also, like I already pointed out above, I have help with the memory room by a user who is coding most of it

As a counterpoint - you can only save a game before a particular scene. If you didn't save before hand then you can't go back to it if that particular scene is something you very much enjoyed. But you don't know that till afterward. That's why galleries are a good idea. You don't know what any individual person is going to consider important or trivial. Darktoz is going to inevitably going to get requests to include some ostensibly minor scenes he was going to leave out in the gallery.
