A High Stakes Game HDD (8/8 Preview Demo)

Postby Appo » Sun May 24, 2020 3:59 am

Hello once again all!

This is a HDD remake of A High Stakes Game made with Erecant's Blessing. All of the characters have been re-created using Live2D Cubism (the Vtuber software) and I'm working on having them all properly animated in their anime style whenever I have the time.

For today, to mark 8/8, I've prepared a preview Demo of the first game and some pre-animated videos of a later scene which you can find in the link below. It might be old content but I think you'll quite enjoy the animations. You can expect the rest of the game to be upgraded sometime in the next 3 months or years depending on various astral alignments.

Please enjoy.

All credit for the writing, story and dialogue goes to Erecant, the creator of A High Stakes Game, who you can find here (https://aryion.com/g4/user/Erecant). This is a fan creation and you can find the original A High Stakes Game here (viewtopic.php?f=79&t=44706), and a link to Erecant's discord group for everything HSG related (https://discord.gg/PZYqMC5). You're more than welcome to join. There's a lore and setting chat with a backlog of info making sense of the world of HSG if that's something you're interested in. Patches and additional content will generally get released there first while bugs are being fixed.

I've included versions of the game for many different devices. If the game doesn't work for your device there's probably nothing I can do to help you as I'm computer illiterate, but please still let me know, preferably on the discord.

Bug reporting is welcome, but you're encouraged to join the discord to report bugs. It's easier for me and it will keep the forum free of clutter.
Expect that your demo saves won't work in future versions, and there's only one game anyway so why would you save!?

Art Assets
Spoiler: show
The program used is as the basis for the art assets is called Kisekae 2. You can still use it at this site (http://pochi.x.fc2.com/kisekae/k_kisekae2.html) using Flash but don't expect it to last forever with the death of Flash. There also won't be updates to the Flash version. You can find the download on this site (https://enty.jp/posts/76546) however it is in Japanese. You need an account to download it as well.

I've put the Kisekae game files in this folder so that it's easier for people to download (https://mega.nz/folder/ARYg1ZqR#EU0dWe376zPsvLrQ56gqZQ). You can find the version I've been using as well as the latest version. The creator regularly updates with new content, mainly clothing. There's also an Inkscape file that I used to manually create and overlay bellies and boobs.

Unfortunately with the death of Flash last year the game has transferred to Adobe Air. You can find the historical download page here (https://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived ... rsion.html) since support for Adobe Air ended in 2020. Technically that will be the final and best version going forward because the new owner for Adobe Air has put it behind a paywall.

Extras:
Spoiler: show
Background content including image production workflow files and kisekae codes.

Old HSG-HD (Updates and bug fixes cancelled)
Spoiler: show

The old HD remake (which was crap and kind of broken, and that no one should play) can be found below for people that care about old things.

Great work! Dumb question though, would this happen to include the extended Zoey mods dialogue?

Not much to say. Good job this is nice, information is clearly displayed, visuals got a spruce up. Only complaint I might have is that you might want to have the files hidden so I can't just go in and look at all the pictures (even though that was pretty neat). Also hope it isn't too grindy cause that was my one complaint about the old game.

Pretty excited to see this hitting the portal, as it has been bouncing around the AHSG discord for a while in its various stages of development.

Appo has managed to get a lot of polish into this, and quite a few features and ideas that I was hesitant to get into due to the limitations of the original engine.

There are some differences in playstyles that will be required from players, but I think by and large this is a wonderful addition, and I congratulate Appo on a solid public release.

To the people that have managed to download 0.2.0 please ignore the option to choose Ironman (Ironstomach) mode. It's something to implement later but for now it will only mess with your save files at best.

The Zoey mod is in and includes some costume changes.

It may be more grindy. My condolences.

That is the style of the visuals. You can expect the characters to look like that with that resolution, and also a teeny bit of animation.

What was this made in?

Looks very good, eager to get the time to play it again.

And woah who voiced the audio version? That's great.

So, is anyone else having an issue where it randomly crashes, usually right after you are swallowed but before the encounter starts?

It was made in RPG Maker MV. Just like with the original game all of the scenes are simply pictures that cover the entire screen. The characters are layered over a stationary background layer.

It was an exception for the voice actor to be doing lewd things already so I don't want to be naming them here.

This has been reported before by one other person. They said they had a crash rate of about once every 20 scenes but the cause wasn't decipherable. If you could give more details on the crash I could possibly do something about it, preferably on discord, but I suspect the cause is something that is beyond my skill to solve.

Hello I'm having a similar issue, when I start the game it works up until the scan where Eva swallows you and your about to start, it freezes and stops making, sounds, I need to restart the game for it to run but it continues happening.

I was also crashing, I solved it by downloading the latest version of https://nwjs.io/downloads/ then replacing all the files in the game´s folder, and using the new .exe instead of the original.

... haha, that's cute. The title screen changes if you get ate by Zoey.

In the base game, you got to go visiting Zoey after escaping from her. Is there a way to go get eaten by her again in the HD version yet? I don't see a "visit Zoey" option anywhere, unless I need to do something more in addition to escaping her gullet.

Bless you Puck. I identified that the crash had something to do with your browser update version but couldn't understand how. Could you give a more detailed explanation of this fix? I think a significant minority of people will encounter this issue so it would be good if I could post the fix with the download.

The entire game is reproduced with the exception of Eva's costume changes. The conditions for re-encountering Zoey are the same as they were in the original too.
Spoiler: show
You'll need to bump into Zoey while on a date with Eva after you've had sex with Eva.


Reject Eva's game right at the start to induce great suffering.

The nwjs is the launcher that rpg maker uses to work, sometimes windows updates fuck up something that stops it from updating properly when you start a newer game if you had already played older ones, I found it here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/766940/d ... 193/?ctp=2

Jesus, the RNG in this game is annoying. Are there saves people uploaded to this version yet? I haven't even gotten to the first progress game, and it took me an hour to even get to 9 affection (after restting once) due to how fucked the RNG is.

Have you tried resetting the games? It only takes 5 affection, and every time you do the next time through is easier, because you have higher stats. After that, dating makes affection gain a lot easier.

I generally just spam the Speed game. Once you take a few points in Manuever Strength it becomes almost absurdly easy, especially if you spend a Massage or two first.

How do you get Gwen to show up? Is that just a random event that can happen on dates, or?
