Omg that’s super exciting news!! I’m so glad to hear you’re working on it again and can’t wait to see the v2 of the platform
Great game knyte21! The only issue I encountered was a resync issue with the Handy whenever i entered a punishment sequence in quest mode. Shutting the Handy off and reconnecting it didn’t help either. I’ll add that i am not on the latest Handy firmware since it doesn’t seem to give the best performance with many funscripts according to the community.
Thanks for the interest! Unfortunately, I have stopped working on the older version of CHP and have been re-writing it to a much better version of it. The Handy firmware version shouldn’t cause a problem with CHP but it may have lost a connection to your device and in the old CHP, the resync process was pretty bad. My only recommendation is to restart the level and try not to turn off The Handy =)
UPDATE
Hey all, I am close to having some what of a tech demo version of the new CHP available (PC version only). I’m planning to have the following features (not many):
-
Bluetooth Device support - This has been something I have been working on heavily! The support for both strokers and vibrators is available to test in the tech demo build. I will include a version of intiface server with CHP but it does also support an external intiface server if you want to run your own. There are still a couple of issues with syncing and keeping the devices sync’d but I have had a high success rate testing various levels. I don’t have many devices to test with other than The Handy and a Lovense Lush 2 so I would like to have as much feed back from people as possible on this.
-
The Handy Support - I have improved the way CHP works with the handy and hope that it works as expected. I am experimenting with supporting multiple handys at once but will need some help with testing. So anyone willing to test the multi handy setup with me please reach out.
-
CHP Theater Room - This is a feature I wanted to include in CHP from the start. CHP Theater room will allow you to create a playlist of all the levels that you have unlocked across all episodes/dlc. Another crazy feature of this is that you can load external videos/scripts into CHP Theater room and include them in the playlist. This feature is still HIGHLY experimental but I can confirm that it has worked with some Cock Heros found throughout Eroscripts. Please try it out as soon as the tech demo is out and let me know if it works for you!
The tech demo will not include any of the battle system and other mechanics in the game. I need to get this out so I can get as much feedback as possible to ensure that I am taking the right approach here. Please stay tuned for I will be sharing a download link as soon as I have it ready to share. Thanks again for the interest!
The most exciting news of the year! cant wait to see the demo, will be happy to give honest feedback
i have several manufacturers i can test, kirii, wevibe svakom and lovense if you want
That sounds great, thank you! The tech demo is almost ready, working through some bugs I found…
Sounds very interesting, will definitely try the demo when it’s out!
Always thought CHP was awesome and being able to load other CH videos would be a great feature.
im so happy to read this, I would love to help you test. I played the shit out of CHP xD
UPDATE
CHP Tech Demo download link is available in the initial post. Please let me know how it works for you and if you have any issues with it!
Congratulations on this new release.
I know how much work can go into these things.
I’m excited to see what it can do.
Thanks! Still have a lot of work to do. Definitely looking forward to Sextropolis 3!
Awesome!!! downloading and will feedback soon
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!
So everything in testing for me has worked fine, it took me a little bit to figure out why myhandy wouldn’t connect but that was due to my vpn, soon as i disconnected it kicked in.
obviously in what see within the platform the current demo is a player and it did what intended. I think i did experience two times it crashed/handy stopped but i just started that clip again and on 2nd pass through no issues at all.
only other issue i came across, if i change the resolution from what it defaults to max, all the menu goes weird / not correct size but i think if i minimise CHP and click back in, things correct. I can grab screenshots if you need em.
I dont know if possible, but one item that be good would be if you have a way to mask the waiting for script etc to load - i.e distract the user with interaction in someway whilst things get sync’d in the background as you do loose immersion when you select things and then you get the loading message which can be short or longer depending on the script loading etc.
But excellent work indeed, new setup on the interface is good, clean and works well. Really look forward to more content coming out for it.
When you have it up and running, in your opinion how easy will it be for others to contribute episodes etc?
Also @BitterSwee apologies, i’ve been absent but i’m hoping to get you some funscripts this next week will keep you posted!
Thank you so much for the feedback! Did you try the Bluetooth functionality?
Strange issue with the handy stopping thanks for the heads up on that. I’ll take a deeper look at that to see if I can stop that from happening, were you trying the provided levels or were you using an external video?
The resolution issue you reported is one that I have been experiencing myself as well. Might have to rethink that part or just drop it all together.
That is a very interesting suggestion to have something running while the loading is happening. I’ll think of some things that can be done there, thanks for that suggestion. I’m currently working on the loading process to make it better.
For your question on how easy it’ll be to have others contribute episodes and stuff, it really depends on what the episode entails. My goal is to make it as easy as possible and I will work with you to get the episode implemented. Worked with @BitterSwee on Sextropolis Ep. 1 and I believe it went smooth. This being a game engine that I’m building this in allows each episode to have custom gameplay elements. This new system for CHP will work better and the video playback quality is much better. So once I have the required systems for CHP in place and begin working on Episodes, I will be more than happy to work with you or anyone interested in contributing.
I only tested with the supplied levels. p.s like you add easy, medium, hard for the vids some brought a new challenge indeed
yeah might have to try bluetooth, so can keep vpn active.
on the screen resolution change, any method to perhaps have it save the setting and then relaunch the game and read the new resolution setting as a workaround.
definitely interested when the time comes for episodes. Nothing started but once i get the idea of how to link any vid/menu/script together by the engine i will get started as a few ideas swirling around and doesn’t seem to be much in way of “Handy” game challenges available other than excellent work you and BitterSwee are doing.
p.s I dont know if the guys involved are still working on but I always thought “Technical Forms” renpy based game is perfect for a Handy remake. Just not sure how easy to sync the patterns are.
If you havent seen it, the concept follows beat patterns which they called things like “Snake”, “Dragon” etc in game and its like a 1,2,3 repeat or 12345-12 repeat. the overall story i liked and when handy came around just kept thinking it needs to be converted to being interactive game. Perhaps your platform can help make that happen.
Thank you for all your work! I’m sure that took quite a few hours. And I’m looking forward to see the the rework with all the game mechanics
I’ve done a quick connection and movement test with my OSR2+. And I’m happy to report that I was able to connect it to the Tech Demo via Intiface Central 2.6.5 and a serial connection. The quirks I’ve encountered are those that come up with Intiface Central in general. So I can’t point to something specific to CHP, but maybe that will come up once I do some more extensive testing.
I’ve never heard of “Technical Forms”, can you point me to where I can find it im interested to see what it is?
