About This File

Hello! I've been working on a short demo for a game, if I had to guess there's probably an hour or so of gameplay. There's much more I'd like to add if there's enough interest, otherwise I hope some people enjoy it as it is! Fair warning, the difficulty is very high.

Please download empire demo.exe if you don't have the RPG Maker VX Ace RTP.

What's New in Version 1.1.2   See changelog

Released

promo.thumb.png.a16588a80d1b68f54a004b100e4f01f9.png

promo2.thumb.png.942407280889463783a1f02b72efa43b.png

- Continuation of the main story! Fail a mission to progress the plot. That should happen naturally, right?

- Failing a mission will also unlock a new skill tree for Xerenia.

- Items are usable in battle now. Make sure you get repulsion fields in the Armory if you're having trouble.

- The Huggies Titan has been added to the game.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support. As always, let me know if you encounter bugs.

The one thing about this game world (and also that of Blackheart) that has always sort of bugged me is why continence is so strongly linked to reputation, despite literally every character having issues with it. When a crewmate sees that Millia has leaked through her Guardian and loses reputation, I always think "I bet this girl isn't doing any better..."

Particularly, it seems that as you go up the chain of command, continence unilaterally gets worse. And Oveldia must know that everybody has this problem. The Widowmakers would probably be a far more efficient military force if they just let it go (PUN) and all wore the Colossus.

In a world where it's this common, perhaps that stigma wouldn't exist to the degree it does in ours, but I think for many of us if it stops being embarrassing it undermines the entire premise of the fetish. 

Also, bear in mind that these continence issues are largely kept hidden, so in the mind of the public the ideal of a fearless (and presumably continent) warrior still exists. So the way I kind of justify it is that they're all still trying to live up to that ideal on some level.

Maybe it has to do with my own indifference to humiliation-based content... but in the world's logic, it just sort of makes them look petty and stupid. Like, even if the Widowmakers need to conceal their continence issues from the general public, isn't stigmatizing it within their own ranks counterproductive in the extreme?

But enough of that... I do have a few game balance comments and/or questions.

  • I was able to complete a data retrieval mission despite getting captured on the way out. After I thought about it, I realized this made perfect sense if the transmission went directly back to Hippolyta Station. So for that mission you should probably have someone say that as long as they make it to the data getting back doesn't matter.
  • The equipment needs fixing... First off, as far as I can tell the Repulsion Fields do not work at all. Second, the Quartermaster equipment doesn't really have a lot of value unless your Discipline and Confidence are high. Also, why doesn't Astrid have the right weapon to use her Assault abilities?

1) Oh, they're supposed to strip you of the data if you get caught. That's easy to fix, though...

2) I forgot I disabled the items menu in battle .-. Took me forever to find where I changed it, but in the next update you'll be able to use repulsion fields and medkits in battle.

3) Well, I found it to be helpful to be able to use smoke grenades multiple times without rest, but there will be better items for sure later on.

4) Because the shotgun is more useful when you don't have her abilities unlocked.

But... but... it makes sense the way it is! Please don't make things harder...

 

Also, if you get a CEE done, after it's completed it says you've earned EXP, but as far as I can tell this isn't reflected anywhere in game.

Check the Status menu. You only gain 1 EXP if you get an E Rank, though.

And now that you mention it, acknowledging mission success while still being caught is something that should happen. I can confirm that this is tricky, but possible at least on the dropship, especially now that I've made consumables usable in battle.

I feel I need to emphasize again that mission success is not going to be the condition to progress the plot.

Oh... I'm dumb. I didn't realize mission failure was even an option.

I've been going through the game making a save point before every mission that I go back and retry from so I've never bothered to find out what happens if you fail. I was planning on waiting until the next update, but I guess I'll go figure out what happens. :P

 

... Well that was underwhelming.

Excuse me, I am a bit new to these whole rpg maker games and I have a question. When I get back from the tutorial mission it says I have to debrief my teammates, but I can not find what floor Xerenia is on. Like I said I am new to these sorts of games, so it might be incredibly obvious, but where do I go?

Link to comment

Just wanted to say I finally tried the game last night and so far I love it even though it can be very hard lol. My question right now is I've gone through four or five missions in a row now and it's getting a bit repetitive. Does anything change soon? Thank you again for your hard work on this game.

It's called Crew Quarters.

Glad you liked it so far! That's about all there is in this demo, but I'll be adding more content when I have time.

Thank you for the comment about the first mission. I was working so hard to kill a few mobs and dodge those dam space pirates ...

YOU POOPED (reference to dark souls).

Maybe the Titans will help me out. (trows a full load at those pirates like it was a grenade).

The new update seems to have broken old saves, that was supposed to happen right?

I was about to ask the same thing. I tried transferring my old saved files and they didn't work :c

What's breaking for you? What error message are you getting? I may be able to give people a way to restore save files in the future.

For this particular update, it's basically impossible that you would have any progress worth porting over, as far as I know. So you might as well start over.

When you try to blackmail the director, it cant find dirty3 in the audio\SE folder. If you copy and rename messing3, it plays that, but can't find wet3. Copying and renaming wetting3 fixes that and it runs fine from there. I assume you changed the file names but kept references to the old ones, or something similar.

I had my reputation to a high enough level to get all the "good" gear lol

Basically, I can't use the restroom or wet my diaper since there's no bladder or bowel meter in the top portion of the screen anymore. This is probably just something that's happening on older files though

Also, are there more wetting stages to the Huggies Titan? I haven't gotten to check but it would make sense if they did since their capacity is so much higher (or so I would imagine)

No Colossus. RAGE!

Seriously though, my hype boner is so big right now. Will edit this post once I've played through the new stuff.

EDIT #1: Haven't gotten to new stuff yet. I had to redownload the runtime package to play it. And yes, saves are kinda broken, can't access the underwear menu or see the characters' bladder/bowel meters.

EDIT #2: After much savescumming, I was actually able to successfully complete Oveldia's negotiation scenario. Does this actually affect anything later on? If not, can I have a cookie?

I have no idea how you pulled that off o_o

I think I know a way to fix old save files, but I'm not going to bother right this second. In the future though, I definitely don't want people to have to do this next part all over again if I update again, so there will probably be an NPC in a central location who will fix your save.

The Titan doesn't have more stages. I'm considering doing it for the Colossus, but I wonder if it's really a good use of my time.

Maybe so, but I actually think it looks more mature than the Vanguard since the tabs aren't as obvious.

I noticed that Oveldia's Skills are a copy of Xerenia's, including the new ones. I guess it's interesting to have skills diverge like that, but since they only work on humanoid enemies I don't really think they will be useful. In addition, accessing them through normal gameplay seems very difficult. Also, seriously having progressively lower level diapers absorb more definitely should be a thing... otherwise there's not really much point.

EDIT: Oh! Also! Another thing I forgot! Right now Millia's bladder and bowel capacities are higher than Astrid's! That's wrong, isn't it? She's at 800/1200 and Astrid is at 700/1000.

I found removing the pirates from the map to be pretty strong. And if you have no confidence issues then you probably don't need that skill tree anyway.  The bigger diapers do absorb a lot more, and those bladder/bowel capacities were always like that (Astrid is still growing).
