Guild of Spicy Adventures [v71][Hikkeiru]

• Story continuation
  Event with 4k+ words story. Are you ready to for the beach?
• Improved preferences
  Introduced a working implementation for Easygoing vs. Realism. This is for the needs of players who want an experience that limits bad outcomes, etc. This only affects the story.
• There is a new commissioned website
  This is for supporter download and benefits, as some users have had trouble downloading through some of the hostings. It also describes benefits more clearly.
• Fixed resolution error On particular screens, mostly mobile.
• Few UI fixes regarding the placement of clickable objects or interface screens.
• Few fixes to the backgrounds regarding scaling on different resolutions. Thanks for the reports.
• The story was a little changed
  A story path was adjusted to avoid being forced into punishment in the town ruler’s audience. Upon very popular request from the players. The consequences will be added later.
• Lines marked for localization
  These now properly format the text, stripping special symbols, etc., similar to how localized lines do.
• Thanks for proofreading
  Thanks to Ryleona.
• Added gallery scenes

Try the version here:

Click to go to web version

You must be a supporter to play this version fully in the browser.

If you are not a supporter you can try it in the browser up to a certain spot or download a delayed version on itch io.

You can read the reason why below.

This update also contains a new story and other features while I’m only partly up to my usual monthly deadline. I’m putting this version beforehand so people can test the web version.

There is also a new benefit! Which will be moved later to tier 2.

Meanwhile, another version and a bit more spicy event should arrive close to my usual monthly deadline (about 2 weeks)!

Web was one of the features that was requested the most throughout the development.

A web version is a revelation for this genre. Why?

Games in this genre aka sandbox visual novels with many renders are rare.

Most of them are made in renpy. While you can put a game like that on a web browser, it comes with its limitations.

ITCH io allows a 500MB total size limit. (GOSA with 2500~ renders is far beyond this limit size)

WebGL game memory usage limit is 2GB.

Games that are made by default include everything in the build.

Game developers don’t seem to have too many choices because of this.

One way is to reduce the amount of renders to fit within the required hosting size and total memory size.

This means that 99% percent of games that you can play in the browser will be in the style of static character images with few expressions and maybe a few backgrounds only. That’s the usual classic and most popular type of visual novel.

The other way is to sacrifice web gl in general.

GOSA is not that kind of game and it’s moving past the player-known limit of this genre!

I want to focus on delivering a game that’s tight in a story with many interacting events and a render quantity amount. The same goes for feature quality, QOL, and development style. At the end making the game something that I can be proud of. Thankfully a lot of you have been good to me with the support so the game is coming along nicely! ❤

How are you doing this?

I’m using custom code and hosting for the renders itself.

This unusual solution, allows me to put a web gl build that is way smaller since the renders are being pulled on demand!

It also omits the total memory because only the needed renders are kept in memory!

Why is web gl a trial version?

It’s currently available for supporters because I pay for hosting. I cannot estimate the total cost without trying it out.

This is why you can only play in the browser for free up to certain spots in the story.

Web-version FAQ:

• I cannot access the game page at all

It may be temporarily turned off. You can ask the developer for info on Discord.

• My game doesn’t launch

Try chrome or firefox. Another browser may not fully support WebGL technology.

• My game still doesn’t launch

Please describe the problem to the developer on Discord.

• Can I export my save from webGL?

Yes. Shift-click the save to download it. It’s recommended to export the save after every playthrough.

• Can I export my save from webGL after the trial?

Yes. Through the end screen button with web gl trial information during the story or through the usual save load menu from the main menu.

• Can I import my save to webGL?

Yes. In Webgl it’s locked for supporters only for experimental reasons.

• I see ‘Click to continue’ with a black background on startup.

Refresh page.

• I have a browser error dialogue
  • Disable ad block, and clear cache.

• Why do I sometimes see black backgrounds when continuing?

This can occur due to a few issues:

• You rate limited because you move through very fast. (this should rarely occur)
• Your hard limited, this limit is high and temporary
• You lost your network connection.
• You’re using the skip button, where renders get skipped. ( It returns to normal on the next background fetched)

Known web issues:

• The Arc browser doesn’t work. Edge will not be tested.

This version general updates notes:

• Story continuation! There is a very unusual character waiting for you.
• You can now set the name of the player!
• Auto mode is back on the menu!
• New benefit for patrons. Anonymous confessions! This uses the same name input window so it was easy to implement this as a Patreon benefit!
  This is only available in tier 1 for a limited time and will be moved to tier 2.
• Localization for this update is temporarily delayed.
• Save import and export.
• Fix if one of the saves is corrupted which previously ignored loading others. This was usually reported on auto-save during sleep and appeared as ‘Dialogue occupied’.
• Fix when save was corrupting on a non-invariant calendar.
• Several other smaller fixes.

Thank you for your continuous support ❤

• Backgrounds should be more reliable on delivery making sure it can be delivered with other sources. They were also optimized and cleaned some of the small memory leaks created during their animation. This was needed so much and took more time than I expected this month… This was probably the most complicated code I had to write in my programming career…I almost went bald completely doing this… If you notice any weird behaviors with backgrounds please let me know quickly in dms.

• Thanks to Rishar Ryleona for proofreading!

This update has 25k words, hentai animations (with visual pregnancy support), an optional punishment route in the hut for people supporting the game (temporarily put for tier 1), and quite a bit of choice, so keep in mind that you can always play the story twice to see some other outcomes.

Event requirement:

• Were sightseeing with Dalia
• Talked with both Dalia and Kanae about the reason for MC’s jail time.
• Completed Cure for Emilly.
• Talked with Emilly about why she was selling trash.
• During daytime.

The event starts automatically when moving through the town.

Other things:

• Fix for stuck at the end of Manako in the rain event.
• Fix the black background at the start of Dalia asking for release.
• There is a new text animation for freezing characters and screaming.
• Brings a few new background animations for better storytelling ie. side shaking and you will see a ‘run’ ^^.
• New music.
• Fixes for looping tracks.
• Fixes black save screenshot that occurred in 0.59, due to incompatibility with urp hdr.
• Some additional information mechanics will be written in developer notes.

• Story continuation:
  Ask Dalia, and Kanae about the reason for your release.
  Review the potion with Mara.
  Adding 3 events in the meantime while I’m in the middle of making a really big story event!
• If you experienced animation stuck on Kanae handjob h-scene. The animations were re-exported which should remove this problem for those devices. There is also a different camera for the bonus content. Thanks to everyone who reported the problem, especially @kkkitsune who relentlessly tested the dev builds for me ❤
• Thanks for proofreading Ryleona
• Fixes accommodation time availability to day only.
• Internal changes to undo, targetting rare occurrences where the line gets ahead of undo capture.
• Fixed blue animations that happened on a few Android devices. The problem was with devices selecting the wrong gpu api not correctly supported by the device. Thank you @manicdiety @nick17#8344 @ndietrick @zacargazesh @kkkitsune @krilzard
• Undo save is now faster as it doesn’t wait for the current background to show.
• Undo now awaits any save finish to prevent undo cancelation stacking.
• Undo now has a marker to show that the game is taking the undo with a hover tooltip.
• Manako slaps after a rain event now only after you ask her for a spicy time before.
• Internal background timeout cancels itself to prevent any hard locking background in case there would be an error with its preparation. This is part of a rare bug where the device didn’t support a background and it blocked the entire queue.

• Longer story continuation event!
  Your lewd time with Kanae leads to full-filling the promise of taking her to the place she is so excited about! Several new animations for the new event!
• Story localization.
  Make sure to travel at least once to another location, and it will migrate the story automatically to support localization and the newly put story! Ex. Move to the next street in the town. The story is now translated and scripts are created to only enable proofreading-mostly without translators needing to translate every single sentence. If you wish to help with translation in your native language you can report particular screen with bug reporter or DM me for better interface access.
• Meeting screen name correct font.
• Added several UI item translations.
• Ping method now doesn’t block UI thread.
• Initializing ink story on first accessed rather than on game entry.
• Button text going out of bounds adjusted.
• Two new audio background tracks.
• Fixing choice buttons sometimes not working when clicked too fast
• Putting new text animator effects to the use. The letters can now animate to make the story pop!

• New hentai scene!
  10 Animations with full support for multiple perspectives and optional pregnancy visuals. The animation has alternative animation that has chance to show. This is to ensure it will appear less repeatable and more alive! Also this scene is designed to be repeatable!
• 0.56.1 Fixes bg stuck at heart animation during Mara return from Cure for Emilly event. Thanks for reporting Anonymous. It’s possible that it also fixes similar issue during the last H-animation, although I can’t seem to find a way to reproduce it.
• Story continuation: Kanae want’s to go fishing. You can take her there for a price…
• Adding new gallery item for the new hentai scene.
• Fixing history log not available in 0.55 .
• Now the story initializes with default time.

• Internal ability to get and save time number to mark time in ink scripts.
• Clearing weather with other bg clears. Preventing it appearing on undesigned quests.

• Story continuation:
  Winter is coming and you find a magical item. It teleports you to a new chilly place. You find a use for it with Kanae…
• Removed a .1 sec frame gap when the bg’s are enqueued after each other.
• Optimizing load game state restore by about 30%.
• Internal ability to enqueue a removing background. Which was needed for new story part.
• Fix During the 2 second period where the story encounters a roaming breakpoint and the game is quick loaded, it not longer disables tapping place preventing continuation hard-lock with cursor and android.
• Optimizing slot loading ignoring caching for history slots. Depending on how much you played 1 minutes of playing it will help at 1% yet if you have a lot of history saves (which are taken every player action) it can speed up even by 200%+ when opening saving menu.
• Reducing main menu entry spike lag by checking if save slots exists only on specific save types.
• Fix currency bug having wrong offset.
• Clickable places now finish animation transitions and not block other bg’s.

• Continuation of the story.
  Mara has something to say about your last adventure with Cylia. Visit her and maybe you can get something extra?
  Are you gonna say sorry or remain with Kanae on uncomfortable grounds? She also has something to say.
• Adding a Dalia story path allowing to pass time until you get accommodated.
• Tooltip not populated when empty.
• Typewriter has been replaced by more robust script, which is gonna be needed very soon. The type writing animation also looks a bit different.

• Fix for forest hut location rain stopping. Thanks @grant morgan
