itch.io

she has no skills set up atm, I haven't got around to implementing them yet since I plan on giving her custom abilities eventually

late but she should automatically be added in your collection when you start up the game, if not delete your save file and make a new one as she should be there now

updated the post to include official 0.12a support since it should be coming out soon enough; the newer version also includes proper chibi sprites now, though it only goes up to vstate 4 due to the artist having difficulty in making space for the rest of her vstates

(won't be updating the 0.1b version myself anymore due to it being buggy and having issues loading modded characters that I can't seem to replicate, but anyone's free to downgrade the latest version on their own if they want to)

you will be thoroughly pleased whenever the next update becomes public then since one of the new characters introduced is one...

(you can read the changelog here if you don't mind the spoilers https://itch.io/t/4264800/012-up-on-patreon-changelogs )

the steam version is meant for the full release of the game, so it won't be utilized any time soon since the game is still in a prototype state at the moment; this also means that you won't be able to download any current version of the game from there (public or patreon)

unfortunately, chateau is the exception to the rule since she's meant to be the dedicated heavy wg character; most wg in the game is going to be around what the other characters get (there may be more heavy wg characters in the future though)

there are plans to include support for other languages in the future, though it's not a big priority atm so it won't be added in any time soon

due to the nature of the game itself, I don't think it would be possible due to censorship laws

the game will still be offered here though

you download the file, unzip it, then place the folder it produces into the folder called "Mods" that's in the same location as the game's executable; if you did it correctly, you should see the game loading in the character's assets

future update, though it's pretty low priority so it's likely not going to get implemented any time soon

cheshire

there are plans to make her be a playable character at some point btw

aside from being swallowed by your secretary, nothing's been planned for that so far

those aren't entirely canon / real since they're meant to represent the commander's fantasies with them, as shown with the "it was all a dream" sequence afterwards

current patreon version update eta is around january-february, public version should roughly release around that time too

currently it's only used to display it for debugging purposes, the ability to change a unit's team when it's in the game doesn't currently exist in the game

so true

struggle is its own unique stat, but it's also affected by the percent of health the unit is missing (less health = less struggle power)

they're referring to the new unit atlas-agena, and currently you can only get her through the gacha

struggle is amount of stun that a unit gives to its predator while being digested at the start of their turn, and it's unit-specific for the value it starts at

the character was a voluntary collaborative effort between the other two people mentioned in the credits and me, so it wasn't a commission for her art / design; you'll have to contact the artist for that sort of information

modded characters mainly get shared in the patreon's official discord server, so you can check there if you're in it

it could possibly be implemented, though keep in mind that I am not part of the developer's team for the game, so I cannot change anything myself

here's holstein, a modded character I helped make as part of a collaborative effort with 5idestep and their manager lucid (arang)

also has support for blured's vt+ mod (but no custom abilities)

features:

• cow
• 7 capacity with wg support
• milk
• unbirth / oral vore

(note that I plan on polishing her a little with custom code and whatnot in the future so she's subject to change in the future)

download 0.1b version here (old, features no chibis): https://www.mediafire.com/file/f9c47wfwmykukna/Holstein_0.9_for_0.1b.zip/file

writing / coding by crimson9715 (me), I also gave a little input on the design (mainly the faces)

lucid (arang) gave some creative input / direction on the personality and dialogue

schrodinger and chateau get thigh / ass wg in addition to breast wg

Changelog:

• Game made 100% spookier.
• Atlas-Agena has been added in as a new playable unit.
• Covenant has received a new halloween-themed skin.
• Gacha has been modified.
• Sandbox mode has been updated with new custom assets (Modeled by Antares).
• Stomach system is now mostly finished and units can now have any number of stomachs fulfilling many different roles. (Default skills have not been added for stomachs yet, meaning their use in battle is limited.)
• The Vore Chimera, an example of the new stomach system, has been added as a potential modded unit. While her dialogue is still placeholder, her skills and dialogue will be updated as those are implemented.
• All mod images are now packed into a single file the first time the mod is loaded. This operation only needs to be performed once, and afterwards all images can be safely deleted before uploading the mod.
• This packing operation will only occur when a DATA.sprite file is not present in the mod folder, so if the mod creator adds, deletes, or alter images, they must delete the DATA.sprite file and repack their mod to have those changes represented in game.
• Stomach size in the Class.txt file will now accurately represent the unit's maximum capacity, and therefore must be increased by 1 for most existing mods.
• The way images are stored in-game has been changed to be more efficient with the stomach system.
• Units have been rebalanced somewhat.
• A lot of internal systems related to vore have been reworked, so a lot of bugs have probably been added.

Known Issues:

• There is currently a visual glitch with transparency on units that will be fixed in a future update.

there is already an official discord, but it's only for members of the game's patreon https://www.patreon.com/MeshiSoftworks

here's the changelogs for the two hotfixes between the latest public release: (posted with permission of the dev)

0.1a changelog:

• Added in Avalon's weight gain. I also accidentally drew an extra WG stage for her, which I'll just leave in for now. In addition, her dialogue for removing her breastplate will be added in later alongside a system for adding different poses for characters.
• Healthbars added to digestion scenes during battle. Facial expressions are determined by the [Normal] and [Damage] tags
• Character sprites can now be of any aspect ratio, which applies to modded characters as well. There are likely still a few oversights that lead to visual glitches, but they will be fixed shortly
• You can now access the options from the main menu.
• Potentially fixed a bug causing the game to start in a tiny window
• Level up all button now works
• Levels are now kept between save files
• Units obtained from gacha will now be set to level 1
• Loading an autosave will no longer cause your save to be restricted to that file
• Camera deadzone when moving mouse to the left or bottom of the screen fixed
• Cheshire should no longer refers to you by the wrong gender
• Being digested by Cheshire while inside your secretary will not revert the secretary select button back to normal
• Added line for Cheshire at max WG
• Moved all back/return buttons in the shop to one button in the top left corner. You may also speed up or skip Cheshire's digestion scenes by pressing this button.
• Lamias in 0-3 should now act normally(?)

0.1b changelog:

• Fixed bug where healing would cause prey's healthbars to remain on screen
• Options menu in battle as been returned to normal
• Fixed bug where Cheshire's stomach would count the commander twice after eating their secretary
• Modded units are visible again
• Fixed bug where playing a female commander would cause your name to not be displayed correctly
• Corn's Entice should no longer work on units that are already digesting prey
• Avalon's Enervate now properly increases digestion timer

it's not a very big update since it's mainly just some qol changes / bug fixes for 0.1, but there's some new content added in as well

• avalon wg implemented
• digesting units during battle will now display a health bar of all currently contained units

hotfix 0.11a got released to fix some of the bugs introduced in the update https://www.patreon.com/posts/110871610

it seems to be an issue related to the game being unable to find its asset files due to how your directory is set up: 

C:/Users/Precision/Desktop/ /New/Vessel Tactics v0.1/Vessel Tactics

unity doesn't like the Â symbol, so it reads it as this instead:

C:\Users\Precision\Desktop\New\Vessel Tactics v0.1\Vessel Tactics

try renaming your directory to something else to see if that fixes it

you can just upload the raw file to a website like https://catbox.moe/ since it will likely have a ton of text located inside of it, which will be too big for a comment section like this

can you send your unity log file to see what's happening here

you can find it at C:\Users\(username)\AppData\LocalLow\MeshiSOFTWORKS\Vessel Tactics\Player.log

(do be aware that it will contain your game's directory path location / hardware information inside of it)

mainly just the goblins along with some minor gameplay changes here and there

it should take around a few months to release but nothing's been directly confirmed by the dev yet

update is out now on patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/110495095

(note that modded characters have been disabled for this update due to it requiring fixes)

the game is still being worked on, but it's mainly kept to patreon for updates / information on the current progress of the game https://www.patreon.com/MeshiSoftworks

it's also getting a new game update there soon enough, but it will be a while before anything gets released publicly though

the text is stored in a unity prefab, for chateau it's stored at:

Assets\Resources\prefab\secretary\c015\Bio.prefab

hotfixes are more of bug fixes / smaller content updates that had to be pushed to a later update to be able to get the major stuff in to not bog down development time; so the next public update would release when all of the smaller stuff is finished and the game is in a stable enough state before moving on to the next major content update

what else do you need?
