Overview:
Malevolent Planet is a text-based game set into a future not too far from our present. Humanity discovered a planet in another solar system that closely resembles Earth and decided to spend valuable resources on the discovery of the foreign planet, as Earth has gotten more and more polluted and famine has set scientists into a craze for any viable solutions that would save humanity from itself. The protagonist is a graduate of the International Space Academy and, by sheer luck, managed to land a spot on a reconnaissance mission to find out why the other missions failed to send a message back. You and your crew are set on a journey of a lifetime and your dream to explore the space has finally come true.
v0.1.2 – 7th November 2020
Coding:
- UI Improvements. You can now focus one or more quests in your Quests Menu, for easier tracking. The old choices have been replaced with a selection wheel, allowing for a more intuitive (and nicer) interface. New Dialogue system that has not yet been implemented everywhere, but it exists in a few of the new passages. Info about them here.
- A slightly improved Combat system. The Malevolent Tentacles and Infected Likurieris Enemies have mini scenes in their encounters, results of their attacks. Also, now the colors of the buttons will be highlighted depending on your currently equipped weapon. If you have an energy attack weapon, the attacks will be Orange. If you have a health attack weapon, the attacks will be Green.
- More options regarding the display of censored drawings. I’ve made available 3 options in the Settings menu in the left sidebar’s bottom. You can either see all the drawings (uncensored&censored), or only the partially uncensored and the fully uncensored or only the fully uncensored drawings. This way, if you don’t want to see anything that’s not fully uncensored, you are free to pick the option that hides them.
- Bug fixes. I’ve tried to catch them all, but some can always slip through .
Art:
- Lighter Censoring. Depending on your choice regarding the display of censored drawings, you’ll be able to see 3 types of drawings. The latest drawings appear semi-covered with a misty white smoke over the more important parts of the scene and much smaller resolution that isn’t intruding on the normal flow of the passage. The more recent drawings appear with partial censoring, represented with a bubbling method over the more private parts and smaller resolutions.
- In addition to the bullet point from above, the public build gets a few fully uncensored drawings from v0.1.1, but most of them are kept for the $1+ build.
- Many new drawings and one animation (animation is a $5+ build exclusive, doesn’t appear in the public build at all). Every one of the new combat enemies has a drawing for the scene that happens if you lose against them. You will see them randomly scattered around the new content.
- Two New Hairstyles. Bun and Ponytail. One of them has been recommended by a very active Patron, Jack Hallows.
- Three New Outdoor Outfits and One Intimate Outfit. They will be unlocked (and accessible in your Wardrobe) after Melissa hands them over to you, in the quest that follows after Viradium T.
- Reaction Scenes Drawings. Those are fully uncensored even though they’re very recent, because they’re minor drawings that help immersion.
Writing:
- 3 New Shower Events in the Sanitation Room at Dawn, Afternoon, and Sunset. It’s necessary to go through the initial shower event that you most likely have played by now, before you can access these at their own times. The initial shower event is accessible at anytime.
- New Event at the Alien Bar. This is where the animation will be seen, during the second NSFW Combat encounter. It is accessible in the Evening or Night, and you need to start Alberto’s quest from the evening, Eco-Scrap and talk with the folks at the Human Camp, then you will be able to pay the Alien Bar its initial visit. It is designed like this, because you can’t visit the Alien Bar until your character knows about it. Once you have visited the Alien Bar once and had your initial discussion with Groody’Jinx, you are free to visit the Alien Bar to talk with the bartender and/or trigger this event without continuing Eco-Scrap.
- New Quest that serves as Viradium T’s sequel. To start this quest, you need to finish Viradium T first and you can start it in the Medical Facility during the Evening. You can now finish this quest by battling with Malevolent Tentacles as well, so it’s a bit less boring. Once you are done with Viradium T, you will see that you can start the new one during the Evening in the Medical Facility, at the same time as the old one.
- New Quest that becomes accessible after you pay the Alien Bar its initial visit, as described above. The map will help guide you, but I can say at least this. After the previous conditions have been met, it’s accessible in the East Side of the village during the Evening.
- Clothing Reaction Event in the Pilot Room during the Morning. It’s accessible after you finish Suspicious Signal, Ted’s first quest. The summary is that, if you wear the Explorer Outfit or the Likurieris Dress (since they expose more of your character’s chest while clothed), there is a 50/50 chance that something will happen which will increase Ted’s Lust every time it happens, unlocking more content. There are 3 phases to this mini-event, the higher Ted’s Lust gets, the more gets unlocked. In the final phase, if your character has more than 30 Lust, she can be a bit more daring .
- Clothing Reaction Event in the Engine Room during Midday. This is basically during Alberto’s new repeatable dialogue time going forward, just like Ted’s Morning Coffee Dialogue and Morris’ Morning Dialogues. The first time you visit him, you can ask him something and after that happens, next times you visit him, depending on your choices (and outfit, hint: Explorer Outfit or Academy Outfit), you can unlock a few mini scenes.
- New Bartender Dialogues at the Alien Bar. They are possible depending on some values, so even if you won’t see many (or any) in your initial visit to him, there will be more eventually. In the next update, I’ll try to make this place one where you can grab a bite or a drink with maybe some random encounters with other inebriated patrons.
- 70k new words worth of content. This doesn’t mean much, but the last v0.1.1 release had 110k so this release brings us to ~180k
