I enjoy this game quite a bit. Upgrades are life. But I admit that I'm a grind gamer and complete things too fast, so I wanted to ask, do you have a roadmap/time frame for future content drops?
I also wanted to add, by no means do I intend to add any pressure to your process. I just wanna wait until there's more content out so I can complete that in one go too lol
no worries mate, I love hearing people are excited about my game! if you want to get daily (more or less) updates, consider joining my discord server ^^ I write down all my progress there, as well as timelines/deadlines I put on myself the link is somewhere in the aphro2 game page ^^
Current intention is to do 1 ecosystem every 3 months, and that will saturate my schedule. Plan is to have 10 major ecosystems with ~3 lesser ones (tutorial, town, ???). If the game does well, I have 3 others that could get added as an expansion.
With optimal work conditions, it takes approximately 1 month for lewds, 1 month for core gameplay (level design, env, combat animations, jewels), and 1 month for polishing (sound, bgm, bugfixing, testing, and all the bits and bops that I left behind, like tutorials, NPCs, dialogues etc... and adding new features).
It is my intention to add NG+ to the game, but it's not really a grinding game, nor is it meant to be infinitely replayed. Reaching 100% completion requires 5 play-throughs, and each one unlocks a special perk. of course they are cherries-on-top, not really "core" elements, but they will be pretty cool nonetheless.
I would expect this game to be as grindy as a souls-like. you can do it, but you are better off just progressing the game/git gud.
See you in the next update (early next week I'll be adding the Lamiacle boss fight) ;)
Yup! It's not high on the priority right now, I want to get at least past the mid-game (3 more ecosystems) before I worry about it. There are 2 ways I could implemented:
Current best: the gallery is unlocked upon beating the final boss, and remains unlocked for NG+
Pros: big reward for finishing the game, centralized, permanent.
Cons: not available for first playthough.
Not-so-good alternative: the gallery for each ecosystem is unlocked after 100%-ing that ecosystem.
Pros: available during first playthrough.
Cons: fragmented, locks lewds behind finding jewels instead of tentacles.
Your comment does raise an interesting point, and something that I should actually add is a lewd counter, that tells players if they met all tentacles in the current version. I used to have a message in the intro that said "there are X tentacles to find" but I got rid of it because it looked awful. I will see if I can include a functional "counter" of sorts that shows up in the pause screen or in the collection.
Aphrodisiac 2 ? maybe i'm missing some details but the last time i saw and played this game it was numbered 1. is this a restart of game or was it first part of game?
The first "Aphrodisiac" game was a very simple idle game, which I stopped working on because a. the time was bad and b. the art is... not very appropriate. It was an experiment and it lived its life.
This is my second game, named "Aphrodisiac 2" simply because it is set in the same "world" aka the Aphrodisiac Den. Pretty much all my games will be named "Aphrodisiac" followed by something fitting. If I had to name this game now, I'd probably go for something like "Adventure" or so, but its too late to change it, I don't want people getting confused over it. The "Aphrodisiac Spa", for example, is simply an interactive gif-viewer of sorts, with a bit of extra lore about the Den added in.

I haven't actually downloaded the recent updates. But do the scense have finishes? Like creampies n stuff
There's currently two kinds of scenes. The first 3 ecosystems (demo) have type A, the last one and the next update will have type B.
A. Loop: 8-12 frames of regular animation. There's no finish to the loop.
B. Slideshow: 20-30+ frames of slideshow, with second person narration. These have finishes.

Hi will you ever add a gallery so i know if im maxed?

Хуйня ебаная
lmao
Is there a difference between free and paid?
the Demo Is limited to the first 3 ecosystems. The full version currently has 4, and will end up with 10.
The game page has more details about the progress timeline and plan ^^
