Diminishment Chapter I, Part I. v0.212d public release

0.212d Update:
  • Fixed difficulty setting not affecting the QTEs properly, unless you restarted the game/loaded a new level
  • Added an additional "Hard core" difficulty mode. This one is extremely unfair, and meant for those with insane reflexes. Personally, I can't handle it at all!
  • Loading from saves from Chapter 1 onward should no longer cause the next video to get skipped, This will still happen in the prologue. This might have re-introduced the freezing issue associated with loading saved games though, so let me know if you encounter any freezing after loading a saved game (It should happen during one of the first videos to play after the load)
  • Some other minor fixes

0.212c Update: 
  • Added Linux version, and 212c for the Windows version, which should fix the issue mentioned below. Since it's not a massive bug, i'll at least wait for some time, before updating the other builds, in case some other bugs appear.


Known Issues in 0.212b:

  • Auto mode toggles on/off after a "forced auto mode" portion (pink dialogue box), if you have toggled the Auto mode manually during this play session. This is doubly confusing, as the Icon does not update properly when this happens. If it bothers you, a temporary work around is, that you have to shutdown and restart the game after you change between the modes.



Hey!

Here's the latest version of Diminishment. This adds one new oral event into the game, with a new girl.

Mega Link (Windows 7 or higher, 212d) 

Mega Link (Mac, 212b)

Mega Link (Android, 212b)

Mega Link (Recording)

Mega Link (Linux, 212c,
Other than the watermark, it's identical to the Patron Linux version 540p60fps

Phub (Recording, streaming, ad warning!)

Mac version is not guaranteed to work for anyone, a couple users have gotten it to work apparently, but I can't personally give any instructions, as I know nothing outside of Windows. You will need to allow content outside of the apple store at least, to get it to work.

Most bugs should be fixed at this point, but let me know if you bump into any new ones!

This event turned out a bit wordier than I expected, I hope it's not too much, but if you want to skip dialogue just press the "f" button. I'll probably end up spreading the current info dump a bit more, as I work on the chapter, but for now, I wanted to establish some things.

I'm planning some changes to the way the game handles translations, so people could add them without going through me first, so I'll hold on to the localization files for now. There's no ETA for this feature, but I'll try to get it done during November. This feature will be only released for the PC version. At least initially. I'll look at the possibility of adding it to the other versions after Part 2 is done.

The next part is currently aimed to be finished on December, but that's just an estimate obviously, as I haven't even written the scenario out yet! The next scenario will be an optional Futa event, some details for it will be voted on Patreon soon.

The total length of the game is planned to be around 10 chapters, where each chapter has about 3-5 parts, so if you're planning to hold out before the entire game is finished, you'll be waiting for quite a while! I've planned this as an ongoing project, so I'll keep working on it as long as there's enough interest. 

As always, let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy!

    1. Dear Eskoz, hello!

      Thank You for all your videos and this AWESOME, AWESOME game! As soon as possibile I will be happy to contribute to your work as Patreon =).

      I love how smooth the animations are and reading that there will be 10 chapters with so many parts make me happy!

      From your patreon page I have seen a list of "things" You will not do in your animations. May I kindly ask You if there is a slight chance that something of that list may happen if there is huge amount of requests?

      Thank You again and wish You the best!

    2. They're not entirely concrete, but mostly it is very unlikely:

      The toilet stuff is a clean way of saying Scat, which is a hard no for any future content. At least if explicitly shown. The milder stuff are a bit more possible, like watersports, farting less so, but not as directly ruled out as scat.

      Graphic Gore & blatantly underage stuff is something I won't bend on. At most you might see some minor blood when it comes to the gore side.

      The furry thing is a bit more open to interpretation. As I mention in the list, milder varieties like monster girls will very likely happen at some point. Nagas, mermaids, cat girls etc. But I wouldn't expect to see any snouts or what not on my characters.

      With the male thing, it's not quite as clear cut. Like a more androgynous character might happen at some point if there's a huge amount of interest. Although even then it's more likely to be in a couple scenario with a female. But in the end the focus is on the "Giantess" side of things, and I wouldn't pledge expecting content like this.

      I don't want to branch too much, as I can only create so much content by myself.

    3. Thank You for replying me so fast ^^.

      Well in fact, about that list I was refering to "toilet" stuff and "full tour" digestion, since more than one time the giant protagonist speaks about these "aspects" in an implicit way xD.

      Again thank You!

  4. Sometimes the text goes on even if you have turned off the AUTO features,
    and sometimes clicking skips the current text instead of completing it.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Thanks.

      There seems to be a bug that during some of the auto text points causes the auto mode to glitch some times. Basically it might switch it on/off without the icon updating properly.

      Not sure about the clicking skip, could be either an old mouse doing double clicks on a single press, or it could also be related to the auto mode, if it's active and you click the message away, it'll skip forward pretty fast.

      I'll try to see if I can figure out a fix.

      Delete
    2. Okay, I'm able to reproduce the AUTO mode glitch reliably now. It happens if you toggle auto mode at any time during game play. Then at the next "forced auto" portion (pink dialogue box) it will toggle the auto mode on/off.

      So to avoid the bug on this version would require you to shutdown and restart the game every time you manually change the AUTO mode.

      Delete
    3. Hm, I remember the clicking skip happened during one of the first dialogs once you hit the stomach in the new chapter, but I couldn't reproduce that error.
      Hope it's not the double click error on my mouse, had to buy a new one because of that just a few months ago.

    1. Chapter 2 Part 1 or 2, so not immediately (Chapter 1 is 4 parts long). They did just have a huge scene!

      Delete
    2. Stoked to hear Anya and Clara ain't out of the picture after the prologue! Pretty obvious they would return in a way, especially with Anya being mentioned in CH1/PT1, but still. Clara is a pretty clear favorite for me out of all of your characters thus far. Guessing we're maybe a year if not more away from seeing CH2, but stoked nonetheless!

      Wish I could pledge, to help out and to be able to see sneak peeks and stuff, but unfortunately I'm all out of an income, so I can't. Will just have to sit by the sidelines and cheer you on for now!

    3. Thanks, I do appreciate the cheers as well, knowing that people enjoy the content helps me keep motivated.

  6. This is my first time commenting on anything porn related but I just thought I'd say what you're doing is amazing and I really hope we see more of Lucy with more ass stuff because she has the exact same body as the girl I lost my virginity to and honestly I feel like she deserves a similar amount of time or more to what Anya and Clara got in the prologue.

    Either way keep up the good work :)

    1. Lucy will make a return, likely next time in chapter 2. She probably won't have a huge role story wise, but she'll appear now and then.

  7. Could just george lucas it and fly by the seat of your pants on the plot. also one thing that might help intensify the situation is seeing others get shoved up into places or eaten before the girls come for the player character.

    1. Stuff like this will definitely happen :)

  8. With the inclusion of food vore this early on, I'm intrigued about other things you'll be mixing with macrophilia? A different sub-fetish per chapter? I'd quite like to see body exploration.

    Which brings me to gameplay. The arrow keys for the rope and those in the prologue were intuitive. Will there be other types of QTEs in future chapters/parts? E.g. in a body exploration scenario, using a QTE to climb to different parts of a body?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, I'd definitely like to wary the QTEs a bit, and some times have maybe something more puzzle like or choice dependent.

      I'm not really deliberately trying to come up with a new sub-fetish every time, categories will likely hover around similar stuff that I'm already known for. I can see a body exploration event happening at some point though.

      Delete
  9. This was fantastic :) I wish I got to see more of the last girl (was it Sarah?) instead of just climbing the rope. That being said the graphics and animation was soooo fantastic! I'm looking forward to the futa too!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Another variation for QTEs is to show the player a sequence of arrow keys, and the player than has to press said sequence from memory.
    Likewise, one QTE could be a show a long sequence of arrow keys, and the player has to press them all within a certain time window.

    You could also eventually have one kind of QTE for each difference circumstance, e.g. one for escaping / running away, one for struggling, and another one when being inside one of the girls.

  11. Hey Eskoz I am a big fan of your game but I wanted to know if there might be like a good ending? Because I think it would be sad if like the main character had to live the rest of his life like that. Maybe Anya and Clara could help the main character later in the game. I just wish for him to be happy XD But yea... Still a great game! Keep up the awesome work!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Well I don't want to spoil it too much, an while the path itself will be pretty linear, there'll be multiple ending possibilities, depending on some of the choices you did, assuming I can finish the whole thing, and people remain interested. It'll take years to do all the chapters.

  12. Really enjoyed it on PH, however I haven't been able to get the Android version working, no matter which way I download it, when I click to install it the loading bar will work for a second before it will say the app was not installed :/

    1. From the top of my head, things that could cause such issues:
      -Not enough space
      -Make sure to turn on the feature in your settings that allows apps outside of the play store
      -Anti-virus app blocking it?
      -Incompatible android version (old phone)

    2. Thanks, I'll be sure to give it a shot

  13. Hello, Eskoz! A GREAT game, complete Part 1 of the Chapter 1 today. I saw you said that scat is not game's future. But, if main character would can to travel in intestines and, with just a little poop come out of girl's ass, it will be amazing. It's not too much scat, but some text and visual about smell and nasty hole will be amazing!
    And I waited for feet theme for all gaming time. I do not know how, but I just WANT to see feet of Clara, her soles, her toes. And would you use penetration in peehole? It would be great to swim in someone's pee inside bladder. And would you use penetration in tits like the girl said?
    Anyway THANKS for this great game! It's my favourite game already.

  15. Hello Eskoz, posting this comment again because it looks like it didn't post first time. I discovered your work on pornhub and I had to comment to say how amazing your work is, not only is the animation smooth and natural but the sound design is great.

    I look forward to seeing how this game develops and to see what you add in future updates.

    After playing the game I had an idea for a scene that I think would be hot.

    The scene would involve the player character being inserted feet first into the urethra of a male/futa characters penis up to there head, so that the player would be looking out from the penis giving them the 'POV' of the penis.

    Then the female character would give a blowjob, starting by licking and kissing the head of the penis and talking about wanting to swallow the player along with the cum from the penis.

    The player would then have to do a QTE to avoid being sucked out from the penis and being swallowed as the females mouth moves up and down the penis giving the player a view inside her mouth.

    If they survive to the end they would need to do another QTE to stop from being ejaculated along with the cum into/down the female's throat as she deepthroats the penis.

    Next if the player succeeds in surviving the blowjob, the male/futa would then move onto having sex with the female, the player still inside the penis would watch as they are pushed into the female's vagina.

    The player would then have another QTE to 'hold on' to stop from being sucked out of the penis while they have sex. Then again a QTE to stop from being ejaculated into the vagina during climax.

    If the player fails a QTE before climax and are sucked out of the penis into the vagina they would then have to endure being inside the vagina while they continue having sex.

    You could have the player character be pinned between the penis and vaginal walls as it pumps in and out rubbing over the players body, or you could have the penis push the character deeper into the vagina or into the womb and watch as the penis ejaculates inside 'drowning' the player in cum.

    I hope you like my idea and use any part of it if you like it.

    I eagerly await to see what you do with this project and wish you luck.

    1. You can find all the songs credited if you click the credits in the main menu. It's basically a bunch of royalty free stuff by various artists, from around the web or the Unity Asset Store.

  17. Dear Eskoz:

    Not to be flattering, but your games and videos are the best I have ever seen! I liked those settings, stories, animates,the very themes---giantess, vore...---, and the 3DCGs. You are a great genius! I got to know you through the phub videos you uploaded. And recently I noticed that you haved uploaded "diminishment Chapter1, part1“ 3 weeks ago. (the opening begins with grass and titiled" Over a year has passed since the "event" ")But I don't know which version of game "diminishment" you posted in your blog is the one that includes animates in that video. Can you tell me? BTW, I was interested in becoming a patron, how can I? Also, I'm wondering whether you are all working alone or in a team. Thank you for reading my comments. Hope to read your reply soon.


    An avid lover of your games.

    1. Thanks! The free version is the same as the Patron version, except for the video resolution and framerate, and the watermark in the corner. So all the versions have the CG videos. If you're not seeing them for some reason, it could be a codec issue or something like that. Are you running Windows 7 or newer? Or a different OS completely? The main menu should have a looping video already, so if that's not showing up, something is wrong.

      If no video is showing up, you can try to re-install/uninstall any possible codec packs, re-install/update graphics drivers, make sure windows is up to date.

      I work alone, which is why these updates do take some time! Hiring people is expensive, but I've been considering getting some people to do some stuff part time lately. To cover things that are not my strongest suit.

      As for becoming a patreon, you can visit www.patreon.com/eskoz, the click the become a patron button in the corner. But be aware, that Patreon charges at the beginning of each month, so if you pledge now you'll get charged in a couple days. However, Patreon does not charge you at the time you do the pledge, unless the Creator has charge up front enabled, which I don't.

  21. Hi Eskoz,
    I recently downloaded the latest version of Diminishment and I noticed three bugs, if so i can call them. In the mac version there are a few seconds break between each scene. However, this problem does not occur in the windows version. In each version, the option that hides the dialogues is disabled every time the game goes to the next scene. At last, why didn't you include the male character at the beginning of the game, although there is an option?
    I hope these notes are useful for improving your excellent work.
    Thanks.

    1. You can hide the UI completely, by changing the transparency settings in the options. The toggle you mentioned is meant to work like that. I can'tt help with the mac version, it's not "officially" supported, so it works as it does. Basically I don't own a mac, and can't test it, so I can't make any guarantees regarding it, same with Linux version. Adding the visual male character would heavily increase render times, and game size, making it difficult, as long as the game uses rendered videos, instead of real time 3D graphics.
