Good idea and good start....I just hope you keep going and don't abandon it at first sign of trouble
Thank you for the encouragement and that is why I decided to release it and maintain it because I had few smaller personal projects before similar to this in which I stopped and the slightest problem, but for this game even though the problems wouldn't stop appearing, I powered through and got the game to a running state .... I will maintain this as long as people still want to see more !

Don't want to leave you a proper review as its your first attempt and all, but honestly this isn't very good and i fear this will get you lots of negative reviews before you are up and running.

The file size is way to large for what it is, and what it is is very little.

All the game consits of is, is select a celebrity and watch 4, 3 second loops of low quality deep fakes. Most of the fakes use the same base videos with just the head swapped between celebrities. To get ag ood deep fake you need to match the model to the celebrity so using base videos isn't a great idea. Especially when in one video a celebrity might be A cup and teh next she is D cup. It just doesn't work.

There is no game its just slide show viewer. If i wanted to view deep fakes I'd just go to a deep fake website and watch better longer clips.

You are right... currently this is what the game is all about .... but this is only the first release, it is kind of a proof of concept at the moment and it will only get better with time with celeb specific "Base" Gifs and way more to come down the line.

I don't know if you are aware of this but each celeb has multiple Gifs for each interaction, which will show you a random one on selection, maybe you just got unlucky and got hit with the same gif for the same action with different celebrities. There are 52 base Gifs that were used so far.

As for the size comment, the regular gif is about 1MB in size, after Deepfaking it and processing it is about 7-9 MB , so it's kind of expected, but I was looking at a few ways to compress the media sizes earlier, but it's not my biggest concern at the moment.

Also deepfakes for now are done based on hair/skin color ,I personally didn't like how it came out with it being repetitive and I will revisit that and its one of my priorities to be fair , as for the "quality" of deepfakes, they will get better with time once I feel like I am happy with the list of celebs available, as I am still changing/adding some celebs base Images, gifs, and adding and refining features.

The game hear saids HTML but it is a exe?
Hey chris , I hope you got to read the overview, it is an HTML game just packaged as an exe for now to avoid an issue which was preventing the game from working the traditional HTML way, thankfully I managed to finally resolve the issue and will be like any other HTML Game in the next update.

I really hoped to find something similiar to Miss_advendures in Hollywood but i guess that would be a tall order to achieve. Especially since that game was a coding mess and abandoned ..

A Story based mode came to my mind, and it won't be that difficult to implement, its just what this game is about, a separate game with a COYA style story is a possibility for me based on how this one goes.

Personally, I'm not sure that this is my thing as I'm neither a fan of celebrities nor deepfakes, and the former are overrated and the latter are almost always non-consensual with many celebrities being very open about their opposition to such content being made using their faces. I would prefer real porn games to stick to pornstars and nude models who have (hopefully) consented to such content being made, even if the pictures/videos themselves are pirated.

That aside, I think that this has a decent UI and not a whole lot more - it is, in its current form, a glorified GIF player. There is, in my opinion, not really any game to play here. The "classic economy" mode has no actual economic mechanics and the only thing that starting money affects is how many GIFs you can watch before having to restart. You also can't revisit celebrities that you "own" after you exiting their page. It is not made obvious that there is a reason to pay for the same service multiple times to see all the GIFs for a given celebrity - I only found out by reading this thread.

Contrast this to Time of Cherries - it is made very clear how much content there is for each model and how much you have unlocked. The main gameplay loop is returning to models to unlock the photos for each tier as they become available. There is also a purpose to having money beyond choosing how long you want the "run" to last - getting upgrades that help with unlocking photos and later paying the upkeep for your concubines (which in turn help with unlocking photos by lowering your stress).

Another feature of Time of Cherries that may be worth considering is the mod support. Games like these that are at their core a gallery with strings attached benefit from making it easy to add new content, with the added benefit of letting the developer spend more time on features while players provide unofficial content. More players' tastes get catered to without causing the development to stall.

The GIFs themselves seem to look fairly good (although I didn't play for long) but as has been pointed out in a different comment the bodies used for the deepfakes don't always look like the celebrity they're meant to portray, and the base GIFs are reused for multiple celebrities. When the main *thing* you can do in the game is try to see every GIF, why would I bother playing if I'm just going to see the same 3-second porn clip with a different face smushed onto it over and over?

Apologies if this seems critical, but as it stands I can't say that there's anything here to make it worth the hefty download size. If there's no gameplay, you might as well host a website like Celeb Jihad and upload the GIFs without the obstruction that is an RNG dice-roll deciding if you actually get to see them all or not. I'm not sure that the FMK game mode would be any different - what would be the difference between "fuck" and "marry", and what would be the point in choosing that mode over the standard one in which you never have to "kill" a celebrity whose scenes you might want to see? There's not enough information about the "ladder-style" mode to be able to tell you if it sounds like a good idea or not.

TL;DR: visuals are decent but you might as well just open the assets folder in your media app or browser and watch them normally. I don't see this changing in future updates unless the dev thinks about what direction they want to take the game in.

Dear All ... OP here,

Some of you might have been there in the discord server when i mentioned that i had my drive fail on me losing all progress made on the then promised v1.5.0.... after a short break after that setback ... I have picked up work again on the game after relooking a few things and reading all your feedback on the game... rather than building on v1.0.5 I am reworking the whole game from scratch and will be releasing v2.0.0 very soon....

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Kindly note that all images shown are still WIP, so it might ship looking different.

I appreciate all the feedback and support from you guys... the discord server should be up again very soon.

Regards,
Fawzi
