Menu System

Guys, I am working in a menu system. It's pretty simple, but will save some performance and will be very cool.

Whenever in game you press "esc" you will see this "menu":


The image, position, and menu options are temporary and I'm going to change these things before Alpha 2.0, but for now we have:

Save Game: Open rpg maker save game menu.
Main Menu: Go to title menu. (No confirmation, so be careful not to leave without saving.)
Equips: Open the equips menu (See below)
Character: Open character menu (See below)
Itens: Open the normal rpg maker menu
Exit Game: Dos nothing... ¬¬
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The equips menu:

As the name says, is the menu where you can mange the Laetiti'as equipment. For now we have only five slots of equips working: Torso armor, Legs armor, Feet armor, Headset and weapon. You can navigate thorough the slots using the arrow keys and acess them using the action key.

Every equip has some stats and this are shown int the bars at the center of the menu. There are five bars:

Attack Bar
Defense Bar
Agility Bar
Luck Bar

HP/SP Bar

The Bars seek an color code.
Red, Green, Blue and Purple are for Physical Attack, P. Def, Luck, Agi and HP
Yellow, Cyan, Pink and Magenta are for Magic Attack, M.Def and SP.

In order of strength
Purple and Magenta >>>> Blue and Pink >>>> Green and Cyan >>>> Red and Yellow.

So in the image, the Green Shirt improves a Little your Physical Defense, Agility and Luck


In another example, the gadgeter glasses improves improves a little the magic attack, the same increment of magic and physical Def (second bar, red and yellow in the same bar) and a reasonable increase of SP (You can read this cyan and yellow bar something as 20 + 5, 2 grads of cyan and 5 grads of yellow)



Some objects, like the rusty scissors, has negative values for some attributes. In this case, the bar will be drawn in reverse.

If you enter in an equip slot, you can equip and unequip whaterver equip you have. The red X unequip the current equip.

========================================================================
Character ,menu:



In the character menu you will be able to see the pregnancy and fertility status of Laetitia, see her achievements and manage her character sheet. (these two are not implemente yet)

The bars in this part of menu go from red to magenta, to represente values in a logarithmic scale of 10. So Red is about 1 to 10, Yellow 11 to 100, Green 110 to 1000, Cyan 1100 to 10000 and Pink 11000 to 999999.

The top left of the screen we have the Level monitor, we have bars from common xp (Xp) job xp (Jxp) and sex xp (Sxp) and the respective levels (Lvl, Jlvl and Slvl). common xp and lvl are the normal xp and lvl from RPG maker and increase Laetitia Status. Job xp and lvl are used to manage her character sheet and learning new skills. Sex xp and lvl influences Laetitias sex skills, fertility and genetics of her children.

Below the lvl monitor we have the fertility monitor. Every bar here represents 25% of fertility, so Laetitia has a total fertility of 75%

In the bottom down corner we have the uterus monitor, it will show the uterus content of Laetitia. In this case have a lot of cum!

In the top right corner we have the status monitor. Each bar means one thing:

Hpn: Laetitia's hapiness
Des: Laetitia's desire
Lac: Laetitia's lactation
Cur: Laetitia's curiosity
Inf: Pieces of information
Preg: Laetitia's pregnancies
Birth: Number of times that Laetitia gives birth
C.In: Number of times that someone cummed inside Laetitia
C.Out: Number of times that someone cummed outside, but in Laetitia
Int: Laetitia's intercourses
Pen: Number of times that something penentrates inside Laetitia's womb, anus and mouth
Rp: Number of times that Laetitias was rapped
AEx: Per thousand of areas explored (1000 = 100% os areas in game explored)

Hpn, Des and Cur vary according to time and according to events from 0 to 100. These values will open and close dialogue options, affect the reaction of Laetitia in some eventes (like whan an slime lauches a part in her womb... with high Hpn, Des and Cur, she will comemorate...)

Lac is her daily production of milk in ml. In the image she is producing something between 500ml and 600ml. With the appropriate items she can store and manipulate this milk. She can use to breastfeed companions and regenerate their strenght.

Inf and AEx are related to the development of the game's history, the higher the value of them, the closer you'll be to finalizing the game.

Below these bar you have two slots, but they are not implemented yet.
=======================================================================

I'm planning to lauch Alpha 1.2 this Friday  22. I hope you enjoy.

Dark Moon Alpha 1.1 relase

Guys, I had little time these days because of the master degree and stuff ...Well, there goes the 1.1a version  of the game, with the changes that I put as made to the list of things to do. I do not have much time to write now because I have to travel to a nearby city in a few hours and I have several things to solve. As soon as I solve some issues in my professional life, the development of the game will return to speed.

There is not much hentai change from version 1.1 to 1.0. I'm still redesigning the pages of the diary ... so I'm going to drop here an image that until recently was "patreon-only". (My patreon is not about the game but rather about drawings is pretty cheap, so anyone who wants to spend about $ 2 for a drawing, the place is there).  (https://www.patreon.com/thehiveh)

Dark Moon Alpha 1.0 Relased!



Finally we, the hive mind, finished a "playable" excerpt from the game. Up to this point Dark Moon is a boring and boring game. This alpha version will only serve for you to have an idea of what the game is like and may already give some suggestions.

In the current version of the game there is almost nothing of the same story. We, however, set a shortcut for the first sexual boss, the White slime. We plan to make a wiki about the game soon, but for now, we'll be passing some important information and a walktrought here.

Well, before we start, we'd like to say a few things. Yes, dark moon is a hentai game, but it also has elements of survival horror and investigation. The idea is that it is difficult to level up, have annoying stretches and some even scary. Battles are complicated and avoiding fighting can be a good strategy. Resources are scarce and some enemies can be annoying, with that in mind, let's start:

You play as Laetitia an electrical engineer who wakes up naked, near some ruins in a wasteland. She does not remember any recent events, she does not know where she is either. The only thing she knows is that her legs and vagina are soiled with blood and fluid and something like a dead fetus is close to her

.


You can have Laetitia take this fetus and take it with you (If you do not, the fetus will disappear in a few days). It will not be essential to the adventure, but it is a unique item and can be used for very special extras. Nearby there is another dead fetus, it is in an advanced state of decomposition and Laetitia will not catch it. This fetus, however, suggests that another girl also "aborted" nearby.

I ask you to pay close attention to this point. The other fetus and the possibility of another girl who has gone through whatever happened to Laetitia should be the point of justification for the adventure. Within your review I would like to know if the game implies that.

When leaving the initial map you will come across the map mundi. There are two possible paths: one for an abandoned building and another for a settlement. You will also notice that Laetitia refuses to approach nude from the settlement. Since the abandoned building is your only option is where you should go.





In the abandoned building you have two options to the south, one to a dead grove and one to the interior of the abandoned building. We suggest that you go first to the dead grove, as that is where you will find a screwdriver, which will be needed to reach the first sexual boss.

Way to screwdriver
Abandoned building


 A VERY USEFUL TIP HERE: At the beginning of the game there are several mice and slimes, which are the initial enemies. Do not spend your SP using overcharge on them. The rats use guerrilla tactics, they attack and flee and you will hardly be able to get their experience points at first. Already the slimes is interesting to maintain a prolonged battle so that one of them can throw a part of its own inside Laetitia' pussy. With a slime in the womb, the other slimes will avoid fighting with Laetitia. Okay, you will not gain experience points, but these early slimes usually do damage from poisoning, which can be awful, given the lack of antidotes in that part of the game. Also the white slime (which is not a real slime) has two tropical slimes of escort and it can be a problem to face the white slime with these guys close by. Finally, while Laetitia has a slime, she earns a small daily rate of health points recovery.

On the first floor of the building there are some locked doors, a descent to the basement, which is useless now and a route to the second floor. Follow it as shown in the figure.




The second floor is a bit more problematic. Spiders are a plausible enemy, but they are not easy. However there are several interesting items here like the shorts and shirt that Laetitia needs to consider herself minimally dressed to approach the settlement. Also here you can find the explorer's diary and three antidotes. It is interesting to take these items before climbing to the second floor.

Second Floor
The desk with explorer's diary




Pay attention to the cabinets and shelves, they may have items, but they will never have the indicative brightness.

On the third floor you will reach this entrance to the ventilation duct. If you got the slit, you could try opening this entry in a minigame. I forgot to write the tutorial in the game, so the explanation goes here:

Using the arrow keys, move the tip of the screwdriver to the small screws on the railing and then press the space key. You do not have to take them all out, but the more you take off, the more likely you'll be able to open the door. As soon as you find that you have taken enough screws, press the cancel key, in case the esc screen, click the entry again and choose the option to force entry. If you took everything that was blocking the entrance, it will open. If you have not removed everything, it may open, but it may also be partly obstructing the path (which makes the passage difficult and difficult), or it may lock and not open more.

Do not worry, this passage in question does not hang. Take out the bolts, they are 4 in total, but from 2 you already have a good chance of being able to force entry.



In the ventilation duct, go straight and go up the ladder. You can go sideways if you want, give in two other rooms, but at the moment there is nothing there.

At the top of the ventilation duct there is a staircase to the north, this gives in rooms, but also nothing there is nothing there yet, There is a staircase to the east, this staircase is way to the place where the white slime is and there is a passage to the south, where you can find notes of the Scientist Francine about slimes.

Francine Notes



Ok, here I think I do not need more pictures to illustrate, the way the white slime is straight. Go down all the stairs (about 8) and you will stop in a cave. There's going to be a creature I tried to make it look like a big, dead giant larva on the wall of the cave. Enter her mouth and follow the body. There are no enemies in there (yet). On the third map within the creature's body, you should find at the end of a small labyrinth some sheets of paper on the floor with a glow on top. Read them and then click them again. You will see the option to invoke the white slime. Laetitia must be naked to be able to use this option. When selecting this option a white slime will appear and run towards laetitia and you can battle against it.

The battle is not difficult, especially if Laetitia is carrying a slime in her womb. You will be able to overcome the white slime with some blows of overcharge, BUT it is essential that Laetitia defends correctly of the blows of the opponent. So pay close attention to the patterns that the white slime emits before giving your attack and use the correct defense skills for each situation. Below is the table with the patterns and the part where the white slime is looking.



You can invoke the white slime many times you want. You can also, with the shirt and shorts go to de settlement, but there is nothing there (yet).

Please do not expect too much from this initial version, but do not be afraid to make suggestions, complaints and above all, report anything that looks like a bug! I already thank all of you and especially Jay the Cyberpony, my first Patreon!

PS: There is a good amount of material in my game that is not my own. I'm talking about tilesets, background images and even some hentai that stayed in the explorer's diary (I'm replacing my versions). A lot of these things I do not remember where I took them, but I'm hunting down the origins to give due credit here. If anyone acknowledges the authorship of any work, please inform me!

A little delay

Guys, I will refrain from play hive mind in this post.

I'm here to justify a little delay in the dark moon. I planned to release the first playable version next week, but I may have to delay a week. I am a biologist and I will apply for a master's degree. However I need to improve my academic curriculum a bit and I am working to submit some articles for a congress that will soon be in my country. Also my use of the drawing tools are improving, I think I'm making better quality images, but they have taken more time.

The game is being done in the RPG maker MV, I hope you do not mind ... I could do in pygame (I get along very well with python), or in unity (I would need some time to learn to play there) , only that it would take more time ... Well, I intend that the first playable version goes to the first sexual boss. For this it is necessary to make 6 more animations and at least finish the slime illustrations of the diary. Those from the diary I will finish this week.

I would like to thank you for the support. Mainly by Jay the Cyberpony, my first patreon and by spectator, who made a comment on my profile on the Hentai Foundy. Many thanks to you guys!

Carol and the Abandoned lab

Guys, this is not about the game, it's about patreon. But I guarantee that we are working on the game, we even publish a new image of it in our Deviant Art: https://thehiveh.deviantart.com/art/Cinthya-Slime-Bf-734260408


Guys, we're posting this in public cause, no one asked for it. Carol, of course, is willing to "stand up" with any creature you ask, by donating to buy_computer_peripherals_to_draw_that_we_have_already_promised_that_we_will_no_longer_eat. But that was not the case, neither was she, nor were we prepared for it.
Well, a few weeks ago she came here to help us and we installed her in a housing complex of an abandoned laboratory, near the center of our colony. We were very explicit that she should not enter the abandoned laboratory. But she met a young Ukrainian guy (Our colony is installed in Ukraine)...

Well, the housing complex is heavily guarded, it has a camera on every corner, even in the bathrooms, and although she is Ok to be seen in public by "beeing ridden by" a horse, or fucking with a mutant five-headed creature, work is work, intimacy is intimacy and she did not want to be seen in moments of intimacy with her new flirting ... She thought that the abandoned laboratory could give her a little intimacy, besides satisfying some of her fantasies, because in a way she would be fucking in place public ... unfortunately, when she went to explore she was attacked by this giant bacteriophage.

I'm not sure I should totally believe this story. Her pants were not ripped and, yes, taken away, a giant virus would not do that ... but she did not want to go into details and I preferred not to make any pressure, after all she is doing a lot for us and without charging anything but accommodation and food!

Follow us in our patron!

Patreon

Guys, we're creating a patreon. Not for the game, of course, it will be for free, but for our art, which ... we all know, is not the best, but... it's ok. We use scrap as a mouse, we are looking to buy a laser mouse, a tablet to draw, a scanner, pay some scientists to develop a new mind-assimilating virus, everyday things and patreon will help us with this.

The basis of our patron will be our models, fucking with the creature you want, from a human to a flatworm, passing rhinos, horses, birds, lampreys, arthropods, fungi, viruses, aliens and zombies.

Our first model is Carol. She is 25 years old, law student and works at a restaurant to help pay for college.

We will talk more about her in the future...

Here is the link for the patreon: patreon.com/thehiveh

Please comment something, so I can know if you are google drones, organic people, or cyborg ants.
