RPGM Collars Rebirth [Core 0.3.62] [Nekomatic]

[Noxstella]

i finally decided to give this a go and it kinda left me with a...huh? kinda feeling? while i appreciate the toggles in the sex settings they should be in the initial settings so we can disable/enable what we want prior to start of the game. secondly while i am glad can sneak behind and avoid the forced gay rape scenario (even though i had it disabled in sex settings it seems like it was going to try to anyways) the larger issue is the first partner you run into unavoidably futa. to each their own but that isnt exactly my kink. sorry. even with the sex settings to disable them all and to make all of the npc's female the animation still shows her as Futa. and while i can see there is content for all it feels very forced for a straight guy like me to play this with all the constant innuendo for flirting from guys on a male protag and and having to worry about another forced futa scenario.

So i think this game is very much a hard pass for me. like i said to each their own but if you're a pure hetero that likes pretty much just harem with breeding options and aren't into forced gender/swapped npc's and other things under that umbrella then this is definitely not the game for you

Edited for typo

So I feel like I kinda finished the game.
I don't know if I can write this as a review, since it may not be accepted, so I will write something here.

It's grindy, like really grindy, even with cheats (from save editor, I also recommend using the debug room with the codes).
You can't have sex with the 2 main girls/boys beside marrying them, and even then, the sex scene stop BEFORE the act ! It's “coming soon” (ok, there's a small oral scene in case of Karina during her only date).
It's buggy in a few parts (the debug room is a mess for example), there's not much to do (you don't really have a main quest). Just a lot of exploring.
It's just feel like it's an empty game with a really nice and polished aesthetic… we can see a lot of feature like events (you don't know their date, so it may block what you are currently trying to do), and there's every item present in RPGM. The dev has set himself a really high bar to reach.

I don't recommend playing it.
And by looking at the previous comments, the development is slow, and the people on discord wants more characters when the gameplay loop isn't finished or when the current path (what I played during 5h for, and even used cheats) isn't either.
To give you an example. You can increase relationship with your crush. It's alright, BUT ! It only increases by talking to them at first (and you don't know that it's doing anything, if you don't check the stats), speaking is an action that consume stamina; stamina that you have in a finite number per day (you can increase it). Then, when the relationship level increase, you will have to do twice has much progress as you just did… because your progress reset. At some point, you unlock gift (one per day), and even one date (one per day (and it's slower to do it that talk as much as you can)).
Have fun pressing “talk” 1000 times or so. (→ use the debug room…)

Since some people liked my comment, I rewrote some part for the typo. But may I ask, could I comment this as a review, or it will be taken down ?

i dunno, depends on how much moderators like specific game. Ive had a few negative reviews deleted becuase uhh... because?
and some reviews seem just like spam and dont get deleted.

how do I get 7 date points for the blowjob scene for Akane's date?

Is there any way out of a black screen soft lock?

First off, my primary issue can't be fixed by the devs...

When doing the quest to defeat the flower with fire magic, I apparently only had 1 hp.

This caused me to both die and trigger a quest update at the same time... This lead to a black screen and several scripts hung...


When JoiPlay for Android detects a softlock, the game auto saves.

My save of 15 hours is now unusable.

"Why not use the world map, to teleport?"

I can't use any debug items (phone and notebook included) during a holiday event. - this is also bugged. I went home, instead of participating in the cook-off. 60 in-game days later and I still can't teleport.


Also, as an aside for the devs, when do I get to "fuck, romance and impregnate several NPCs?" I can only romance 1 NPC and she's the forced lover.

I can't romance the witch, let alone fuck her (relationship level 9)

I can't even fuck Betty, any action I take leads to her hooking up with the grocery store clerk.


Furthermore "go to the debug room if you'd like to customize the NPC genitals on an individual level"... Well, there's only the option to customize the singular love interest.


Then there's the issue of not warning players about the contents of scenes

• Non-con disabled
• Gay sex toggled OFF
• Futa OFF

NPC claims to be a woman.. Lo and behold, I'm forced into but fucking a trap.

Never touched Sabine's lab after that

To be completely honest, there probably isn't a way out of the soft lock. As far as a lot of those particular issues, these things have been left in an incomplete state for 3-5+ years in some cases. The design by committee aspect often seeks to add new things before existing things are finished, which is why so many things still exist in a placeholder state.

The witch was supposed to be expanded upon when alchemy was added, which I don't even that exists now, and at this rate I don't think it ever will.
Betty wasn't ever meant to be a player "romance option," but as a side quest.
The debug option you mention was added with that NPC, but no other NPCs have been expanded on in that way.

There actually is a way.

What is the map ID for the hospital and the xy coordinates on said map for a teleport (or any map that doesn't have NPCs/events?)

Using a save editor, it can be done...

Other things, like and emergency "UNSTUCK" teleport item, work in this manner but require the dev or a modder. (Your average joe can still use an editor)


Edit: restarted save anyways


Edit2: new save has lost access to all debug items... (I use the teleport feature and I use the Phone to skip early morning, so that the shops open)

I'm at Summer 21 year 1 and have been stuck with "PHONE can't be used during Seasonal Events"...

The cook-off has been over for 10 days and I don't know what other seasonal events I'm supposed to trigger...

does anyone know if its possible to play the version of the game before the ferals were removed? Like did anyone make a mod that added them back in, or is there a previous version thats still avalible?

if you followed the basic intro you'd know that misha is a trap after you rescue him from the fuckbunnies

funny that the game still plays at powerpoint fps even with the updates but the content is good.

look in the discord or else you are out of luck.

"If you did the optional intro, you'd know that they were a trap" is the dumbest excuse and is also another shit game design choice. If the whole "selling point" of Misha is him being a M2F, then you'd think the dev would've made the dialogue mandatory...

"Here's some very important dialogue that is sure to help you on your journey. No, I won't ever bring this up again"

Again, after finding out Misha's a trap, I never touched the lab again. I don't care what you say, Misha lied about being a woman, what else is "she" going to lie about next? "I can get pregnant?" No, that's not how gender reassignment surgery works.

That's where a lot of these game devs don't actually understand what the concept of the game is...

• Nano-control has an NPC disobeying a direct command from her master, with zero consequence. ("Disobedience causes immense pain")... Apparently the dev said "Because Jace was raped, the pain caused by being disobedient is negligible"
• Degrees of Lewdity has an "exhibitionist" skill... Even with it maxed out, the player hides "what'll happen if someone sees me? Better to not get caught."
• Games where the player is essentially a God... Yandere NPC going around and killing any other females you fuck, instead of her... You can't kill her, because she's your 13 year old sister. (No sex either, Patreon/F95 don't allow underage)

Those are all the shit game design choices I've run into in the past 6 months.


To reiterate, if something is important, don't make it skippable.

 

[dinopara]

"If you did the optional intro, you'd know that they were a trap"

your entire rant is stupid because it's not optional intro since it plays if you try to go to the forest at the first time even if you skip the intro where mu sucks the guy off while waiting for you.
it's not skippable at all.

It actually is skippable. (Skipping directly to the guy being a house slave)



If you have an intro that's skippable, then everything in the intro is just non-important exposition.


It's sort of like some game devs who go "you should've read up on the Walkthrough/lore wiki/Discord. Some info not in game, is in those outside sources" basically turning their games into a pseudo ARG

my brother in bill i am playing the same game as you and i get stopped by sabine no matter if i skip the tutorial and basic quests or not, the same place where you get the root of all evil quest, misha's nude sprite will show up after the bunnies flee then it'll change to a clothed one and you can see the dong.

making me replay the game to check this is annoying because of the frame dips inside cities, it's probably a old version of rpgmaker since you can't even move or click menu options with your mouse too.

Here's a 5 minute quick run, upto the point of first meeting Sabine and Misha.


There's ZERO mention of Misha having a penis and I have both gay and futa turned off. (If Misha is classified as a dick girl, it should fall under futa)


I know the pain. My phone is actually faster than my desktop (24GB vs 6GB of RAM)... With how old some of the game's engines are, some of them are still clunky.


A workaround for PC that I've found, is the 4GB patch for 32bit EXE files. This allows them to use 4GB of RAM, instead of Microsoft's default 2GB maximum.

how do i full screen

I finally figured out which seasonal event disables the DEBUG items. (Not actual flag names)

When entering town on the day of the cook-off, a flag is set that loads up the event map. While another flag is set, that disables the DEBUG items...

Once the cook-off ends, the "load holiday map" flag is turned off. While the "holiday event active" flag is never actually reset.


You can either sleep through days with a holiday event, or you can edit your save and disable the flag
