CyberHimbo v0.03 is out!


V0.03 is finally out!

๐ŸŽ‰A lot of work and headache went into this one! Hope you will enjoy it! The game has more than doubled in size since the last update. Going from 7,000 words to more than 18,000. v0.03 is more than 3x time the size of previous individual two versions! The story is getting into place, but this update adds a lot of lewd content. Both players from the Dom and Sub track will get their fair share of stories ๐Ÿ˜‰.

โ™ฅ๏ธ Iโ€™m alone working on this game and Iโ€™m really pushing myself to ship some new content regularly. If you enjoy the game, please, leave a 5-star rating or positive comment on itch (or both ๐Ÿ˜›). It really helps and motivates me so much to push this always further.

๐Ÿ’ฌ You can also join me on Discord to talk more about the game, and share ideas, feedback, or bugs:

Totally forgot to post this earlier! My bad. Anyway, very much enjoyed the new update, and the growing intrigue. Like, I came for the muscle growth, but am staying for the mysterious gang of muscular men plotting something. Can't wait for the next update.

And I'm back to haunt you again:  Got rid of my cash on hand (took a little too long, all things considered - maybe add an item like a bottle of pills or a pint of prot for $200 and $100 respectively?  Just a thought) and went to clean up the bathroom (would've loved to know who that was with the hint of cherry), then went behind the bar... missing closing tag messed with the next 2 tags causing 3 errors.  Then, after you try to move your head away, the whole thing messes up.  (Also, if you get Ian in the bathroom to 'leave his mark', it would be interesting to have a following 'Clean the bathroom' reflect that. ;)  More 'food' for thought. heh)

Oh no! I thought I had all the missing tags. Iโ€™ll look into it. Thanks for reporting it. 

Yeah, Iโ€™ll add more items to buy and also more ways to make some cash too ๐Ÿ˜„

Thatโ€™s a good idea for Ianโ€™s mark. Iโ€™ll try to include something in the next release. Same for the cherry taste, I have something small planned for that.

Were you able to find what I was referring to or is it just my version that's borked?  I'm guessing you've been busier than a one-armed paper hanger so no pressure; was just wondering.

(+1)

I think I did. At least, I found some broken parts ๐Ÿ˜„ I just published a fix.
Thanks for checking in ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh no. :(  You fixed the first one I found, but I found another one.  Not sure how to describe how I got to it.  I ran out of money, asked for a pill from the bartender and went behind the counter.  That worked flawlessly.  But I ran out of money again, asked for a prot shake and went behind the counter and got the error at Good Boy saying a 'next' closing tag was missing, then a '/speech' as found outside of a call to its parent 'speech' tag.  I suspect, they're part of the same error.  Then it stops the progress at the point where Hank says 'Shh.  You ain't here to talk, boy."

Separate from that, when you first encounter Riker at the vending machine, there's a button to continue that says 'Goon!'.  I suspect that is supposed to say 'Go on'?

Ok, the error disappeared, but it still stops and now I see it doesn't just stop but it deletes all of the text that comes *after* the phrase Hank says  that I mentioned above.  It must be close to the end of the scene because after a moment, you still take the reputation hit at Nocturne as the message appears, but yeah the game doesn't progress forward.  Not sure what's happening there.

Oh Found the first one! That one was a difficult one to find ๐Ÿ˜„

The second one was so hard to find and fix. I don't think I really understand what I did, but it looks like it works now. Just published a new version.

It's 'Goon". It's a type of mindless masturbation (especially while watching adult content) ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

Errors crop up when buying a beer.

Oh thank you for reporting this little bug! I just published an update. It should fixe it!

I wasn't expecting such a quick response.  :D 

(+1)

Haha! There is always a few little bugs like this with a new version, so I try to keep an eye on comments ๐Ÿ˜‰ 
Thanks again for reporting the bug and hope you're enjoying the game. If you have 5min, let me know what you think!

Alright.  As some of the others have posted, I *really* love the whole Dave encounter.  Of course, despite being the initiator in that, I still leaned into the sub aspect.  Riker is rather hot too and I was surprised he wasn't in the update at all.  I got the impression the bar is going to be very central to all future events and Hank is going to be a kind of 'grounding' force for the MC.  I also get the impression that poor Ian is going to be a victim no matter how it plays out. LOL.

From a technical point of view, I actually like how conversations work visually and the writing is good.  Of course, there will always be the odd typo that slips through the cracks (Poor Ian likes confidence instead of lacks confidence - I think that was the typo).  That bathroom at the bar looks fantastic!  I was hoping there was a scene in there but alas... maybe in the future.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this plays out.  I also hope that the choice you make at creation will also play a part in the MC's life direction and not just be initial skills.  Is this going to be an open-world type game (such as Young Marcus, Hornstown, etc) or is this closer to a CYOA?  Either way is fine (hoping for the former but fine with the latter too). :)  If there's anything specific you want my take on, feel free to mention it.

You're awesome! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's super helpful. And thanks for spotting the 'like' typo. (It should indeed be 'lack').

Yes, my ambition is to create more of an RPG like experience where you can freely explore different areas and storyline as you'd like.

And... there are quite a few scenes in the bathroom ๐Ÿ˜‰.

โš ๏ธ Spoiler alert:

- You have a scene with Ian in the bathroom. Talk to him about muscle growth, and then go buy some supplements from Hank. The scene will vary greatly depending on how you answer in the muscle growth conversation.

- Hank will offer you to clean the bathroom for a few credits if you are running short (you need to spend all you money first, though)

- You can have scene with Hank in the bathroom if you take a pill in front of him

- And... if you offer to help Ian with his confidence issue, he will get more dominant very quickly ๐Ÿ˜‰
