This is very fun. The combat isn't very deep, but it's ok. Found all weapon types but the sword comparably weaker, so I didn't use them. I like that the game forced me to engage with blocking by introducing those nasty hook kobolds. Platforming is very satisfying with the running giving you more jump height. The bosses could use more health, they didn't take many hits at all. The default keyboard layout is complete garbage. I found WASD for movement, space for jump, lshift for run, lctrl for attack, q and e for dash and block a better layout that you can use with 1 hand. The sex scenes have very good art, and the animation is good enough
Zarok is insanely hot.
The games are fun and moderately challenging.
Please keep up the good work and don't overdo it.
I'm rooting for you.
Game has some really good artistic direction, Has the normal Banger art from Wurm. Will say this is like SOTN if you had soap for shoes
The randomized equipment Is a fun idea, lets players focus on stats they care for even if I have 0 idea what they do Outside of Regen and LS
The boss fights are very simple But the porn afterward is very Pog.
If I have to give one major point of improvement, readjust damage tables, I am either at 100 HP or I am 5 HP away from becoming a cock sleeve,
Either way Please add the ability to fuck the rabbit at the start, Or let him the BBEG Also Music is good, Nothing id play on loop for 5 hours good, But good.
7/10 GOTY
You can fuck the rabbit at the start, just go back after getting the Captain's Key to free him.
My Compliments to the Chef, Baker, or Whoever Cooked up these Fire Beats this Sound Track is Wicked!
this was fucking amazing!!!can't wait for more
Will this also come out For Steam in the Far Future just like your other titles such as Tailbound?
Reletively bug free to a casual playthrough. my only small gripe is chain jumping often results in a sort of boosting effect similar to getting a running start. not big, but it might make speed platforming difficult later, may want to look into that.
The game isn't built around speed platforming. The "boosting" effect you're talking about is likely the small initial jolt of horizontal velocity jumping gives you - if you're already walking/dashing.
explaining it is sort of difficult. but it doesn't quite feel that way when every second jump onword feels like running speed boost when you aren't running. but if its intentional then i guess it just means i need to learn some input delay on my side then.
To explain i have the chronic '''bouncing' habit when backtracking empty areas. so naturally i keep missing jumps due to the second jumps having more horizontal momentum than planned for at walking speed. honestly, unless you're trying to do it its not something you can do on accident anyway, so i was wondering if i was doing something weird i shouldn't be able to is all.
Carpetwurm is correct. I've noticed it too, and a few side platforms are placed to seemingly take advantage of it. it is a boost due to the way jumping works if you're already moving. It actually kinda makes for a nifty secret IMO, but I do think consistency might be better, plus then a dash could maybe be implemented later for those further jumps perhaps? I can see a lot of potential on this game, so i'll be keeping an eye on it. I love games of this design type as I've been playing them all my life and I would like to leave my compliments at the great visual style and solid foundation this game has.
There already is a dash mechanic
Yes, I found that out shortly after posting this ironically. I didn't notice it on my first playthrough, all the long jumps I found other ways to get to via the aforementioned manner ironically. I thought it was odd at first but it makes a lot more sense now. I thought some of those out of reach areas were rewards for discovering that little trick at first!
Still, I really love what you have so far and I'll be keeping a close eye on this game. I think it has the potential to be something pretty special.
Messing around with it, you are right that there's a perceivable boost when you jump immediately upon hitting the ground. It feels like a bug, but I'm not sure if it's the intended horizontal boost /not/ triggering on the first jump, or if it's somehow doubling for subsequent jumps.
it could be. i was just wondering if that was supposed to be happening or not. Right now you have to go out of your way to trigger it though.
So i don't really think its THAT problematic yet. keyword Yet.
Took me about 3 hours to "finish" this build, ether im bad or thats just how long the game is lol. Points aside I love this game, the animations and everything is top notch. Ready to see where ya take the game, 10/10 from me.
Love it
ayyooo???? i thought carpetwurm want gonna do games
Are there 5 scenes or just 4? My gallery says 80% after completing the demo
There are 5 scenes, you most probably didn't get the last scene with the guy at the start location, you need to find the key and release him
When I found out that there was a furry Castlevania in which you play as hot wolf chick, I knew that I had to play it. I loved every second of this game and can't wait to see where it goes.
To get the 3rd animation, you need to find a key and release the guy in the first location
are there plans for a mobile version?
Good game. Solid platforming and combat, if a little trick on balance in some places. I probably would have been fine with your original intent of the "Dark Souls" runback to the boss, though at the time the enemies didn't respawn so it didn't really have a purpose.
Very impressed by the animations and sex scenes thus far. I love the theme of this subby breed-hungry wolf girl. Looking forward to more!
I finished the 2 bosses and my last save was in the bedroom just before the end of level 2. Will i still be able to transfer my saves in the next versions of the game if the map changes ? Also really cool game, love it.
How do you dodge the demo boss's attacks?
His dash attack can easily be jumped over, or ducked under if Naomi is on a slightly lower slope. His slash attack can be avoided by backstepping during its windup
I honestly forgot backstepping was a feature. Oops!
Skantish have potential, good game tho. But sadly that you decided to not release Asylust (still hope for Asylust comeback)
i understand the reason why you decided to stop the Asylust production and instead make Skantish(good game btw), but ngl Asylust would’ve been another one of the GOAT games you make(sorry for sending this here on Skantish itch.io page, i don’t know if there’s a place to send compliments)
PS: sorry if i’ve made any disturbance, i’m just a fan
Another PS: ik there’s a discord, but i don’t want to accidentally make any trouble or disturbance
Really cool game but I miss dick on dick. loved tailbound
glitch( i guess?): I try to change and keyboard input, amd the [ok] buttom is now [???] and i got no way to turn it back(even if i redownload the game, the [ok] buttom is still [???], cause i guess there's some system save outside the game?)
Open data.ini (found in AppData/roaming/Skantish) and delete the section labelled Configuration. (Just find where it says 'Configuration=', then delete that and everything following it up until 'SaveGame='. It will all be on a single line in Notepad.)
My only critique is to add checkpoints before any bosses. The first boss is really annoying to lose against since I have to walk all the way back each time I lost which means it's just a waste of time.
Is no one else finding this game really really hard? haha I'm struggling to even get past the first area 😅
I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Like, I try to fight but end up really weak really quickly, so I try to interspace my hits by dodging but then I just get stunlocked because I ran out of energy. Help??
Just manage your stance meter, and equip the most powerful equipment available to you. If you aren't going out of your way to explore and find chests, you're only hurting yourself.
true well try to find a better weapon that what you alreafy have and equip a armor with regen is gonna help a lot
but if your gonaa take a recomendation i prefer the sword style the log i think is wayy to slow and even being the strongest weapon is also the one that leaves you most exposed as the bow is better in the forest area because is hard to get a clean shot with it is at least if we had a way to aim with the bow
I really really LOVE! this game I wish there is more of these. the game had alot of potential and well made mechanic
the artstyle gave off is really similar to Lustyrinth
overrall 10/10 not because of sexual scene but the gameplay itself
are there any sexual scenes yet in the game im curious
yes, 3 animations and 2 lose screens
对不起，存档文件在哪里
C:/Users/<Your Username>/AppData/Roaming/Skantish/data.iniNice Game, complete it (Demo). Got once an error. Had full Items Inventar. Open 2 Treasure chest at once (top right side with the water), can't carry anymore. so both items lay on the ground near me. I stand in the middle. So dropped 1 Item. Then I collected both items at the same time. And an error appeared, sorry not sure what it say I closed it so fast, complete game crashed of that too. Next time the game load an old save file which miss some progress.
But seems that the game crash with an error, when you collect more items then you can carry. And only possible, when you stand between 2 items with full Inventary and drop one. Also you will lost a bit progress, because game can't load next time with all Items you collected before.
PS: Joypad Controll would be great. Was hard with Keyboard.
I do wish the game over scene's were animated but aside from that, an incredibly fun game with smooth mechanics, fun weapons and great characters! I'm excited to see where it goes <3
would love controller support
You're doing an excellent job! Great game!!!
Will there be a Android version in the future?
Could really do with save points near the bosses, but besides that it's really fun!
short but great，ilove the scene with dragons so much。would there be “game” with multiple enemies in the future？
What happened to Asylust? any chance of getting the game on the future or is it over
https://itch.io/post/11963788
From the looks of it, it would've taken a deep dive into some dark topics, at last you followed your senses of stopping
thanks tho
Great game!and Great scene)
But I think there should be a savepoint near to the boss room.Everytime I died was a beginning of parkour to me.(
And more,I was shortage in the recover,I run it out before facing the boss(
Great game!! keep it up. I would love to have a chest by the shop, so i can quickly storage and sell items. Also idk where the demo ends.
Controller support please, for 2d side scroller game like these is a must have, thanks.
Dev, is it possible to add restrain & struggling feature? (Doesn't have to be sex related.) Furthermore, are there any petrify status in future build? (Every Castlevania have at lease one of those...)
wurm is back, i guess.
