Sugar Shooter 2 - Public Demo v0.61 beta

[Arthur]

Yeah the high score thing is kinda annoying. I keep having to quit and restart the game to reset the score to zero. I haven't encountered any problems with the soul whisk meter though.

The sides of the screen sticking out is kind of a problem as well. I'm playing it at 1280 x 800 for reference, since I can't see the bullets on my screen if it's any smaller than that. The edge problem shows up clearly in the high score images that are taken automatically. I'll crop and post an example here.



This happens on both sides of the screen but I decided to post a small example of one side.

As for the Engrish, it is a bit dorky lol. "What are you? A criminal!?" would sound normal. Adding sir at the end of the first sentence just sounds a bit unnatural. Although he could get away with it as it's a charming character trait. And "Criminal." on it's own is grammatically incorrect when questioning what the person is beforehand if you get what I mean. "What are you? A _______?" etc.

On another note, I think the new music is fine. It has a kind of Japanese style in it which is present in the other tracks and I think it suits the scene fine.

Finally, I don't have a problem playing it since I have my own personal computer in my bedroom and I usually use it with wireless headphones connected to it. Plus my room has a door with a lock on it. Also people don't tend to bother me when I'm in my room for whatever reason lol.

I just tested the game at 1280 x 800 and it still doesn't happen on my pc...something weird is going on here. I'll check the resolution adjustment code again.

As for the 'sir' part, it's actually part of his character. He's always polite, even when he's attacked by a sexual predator! But yeah, the missing article is really a rushed mistake >_<;

[Arthur]

Ahah! I think I've found the problem. I've been playing the game in window mode but when I play it in fullscreen mode the edge problem disappears. So it must be a problem with window mode.

[punipen]

Ah that's good to hear! Still, it should work on window mode as well, since I was playing with the same resolution in window mode and it works fine. I'll see what I can do. It's hard to test when it doesn't happen on any of the PC we have here , so I'll need your help if you don't mind!

[Arthur]

I'll be glad to help. What do you need to know? My computer setup?

[punipen]

No, I"ll add a local log to the new build to log the adjusting the resolution process. You'd have to run the game and send the generated log file to me

I'll release it tomorrow along with the updated manual, and the fixes for score and credit glitches.

[Arthur]

Ah, cool. That sounds simple enough.

[Reiga]

Yeah, I'm starting to experience the glitch with my Soul Whisk bar now....

[Wanfang]

yes. The score does not reset after resetting the game. ^^'

I got a problem in sugar rush mode after armor break. After armor break the boss  moves towards to the starting position and made contact towards me and I got damaged.  Talk about short invincibility time.  that's unfair.

Gah! I found that during the testplay too and it's sooo frustrating. I thought I got rid of that already :/  Thank you!

At first I'm gonna upload the bug fixed version tonight, but let me take a look at this bug first. If possible, I'll try to fix it tonight as well

[Kinky-K]

As I was taking a screen to show you where the background sticks out of the frame, I noticed something else which needs to be looked at.

Large:

The name scroll of your opponent is stuck under the frame. Not just Toryu, but Saionji as well. You definitely need to fix that. lol
And if you zoom in you can see about one pixel of black space on either side of the game frame which lets out the background. At the top the background overlaps the transparent line of pixels that detail off of the frame. If you just zoom in I think you can see. This screen was taken in 1280x1024 Non-Windowed, but Windowed you can still see the background sticking out at the top, just not on the sides.

Pretty sure it happens just like this in any resolution though. Just checked on the regular 800x600, which by the way I don't know if you noticed but you keep referring to as 800x500, and it happens the same way there.

You should also notice that on the side where it sticks out, Satan's wing also sticks out. On someone's screen they showed they were able to see it sticking out on the way, but on mine I always just have one extra pixel width to see it overlapping the black edge by one spot.

And I didn't know if this was a glitch, but when I'm in the boss battle with Saionji, I lose the ability to continue after defeat and I get the game-over screen. Don't know if that was intentional though.

Don't Read If You Haven't Fully Played The Demo Yet
Some stuff regarding text:

Into Scene:
He and Frey, his servants, are living happily together with the prince's four wives;Sugarless, Tarosuke, Arthur, and Souffle.
Satan and Frey, his servant, are living happily together with the prince's four wives; Sugarless, Tarosuke, Arthur, and Souffle.
A space after ;


Hmm?!A visitor ?
Hmm?! A visitor?
Why was there a space before the question mark? You never do that! lol
Also don't forget to space appropriately elsewhere as well, like between sentences of course.

He-llo. Can we help you?
Hello wouldn't be He-llo, it would be Hel-lo. If you were trying to make it seem like they were drawing it out a lot, it would be like, "Hel-looo".

Ooh, manjuu!! I haven't had them for,like,forever!
Ooh, manjuu!! I haven't had them in like, forever!
I think I know it's supposed to be vaguely improper, which it still is, but this sounds like a more commonly used style of phrase.

This looks highly delicious. Let's eat!
Unless Sugarless is supposed to be talking in his own personal way, this is a little off. Otherwise, keep it as is.

Is it ok not to wait for Satan, woof ?
Is it okay not to wait for Satan, woof?

Tell that to Tarosuke...He already ate TWO!
Tell that to Tarosuke... He already ate TWO!

No need to worry. We have plenty of them!
So, shall we start?
No need to worry, we have plenty!
So, shall we start?

Guys, I'm back! And with ton and ton of sweets today!
Guys, I'm back! And with tons and tons of sweets!
or
Guys, I'm back! And with a ton of sweets today!

Um, Toryu-san, who just moved in, gave us these sweets.
We ate it and here we are...woof
Souffle says that Toryu just have them "these sweets", but didn't Toryu simply give them the manjuu, and aren't the sweets they're eating from Satan?
Also the second sentence should be:
We ate it and here we are, woof...
or if it was correct for him to be  saying "these sweets" instead of "manjuu", he would say:
We ate them and here we are, woof...
but if he is supposed to be saying "manjuu" instead of "these sweets" the: We ate it and here we are, woof... Is the correct sentence. Hope that makes sense. xD

Just moved in?
This is the first time I've heard of that!
Just moved in?
This is the first time I've heard of him!
Not super necessary, but might be better.

Sexy Scene:
Ouch... What are you, sir? Criminal?
Ouch... What are you, sir? A criminal?
criminal could be replaced with: evil, a villain, immoral

Ooh. This isn't bad at all.
I guess I have some 'punishment' to do.
You should replace 'punishment' with 'punishing'. Not a necessary change in all cases of Satan's use of the word, but here it's just correct.

Please stop,sir! I beg you!!
Please stop, sir! I beg of you!!
or
I'm begging you!!
You can't forget to put a space after a comma, you did that a lot with "..." too.

Ah...I can't...hold...
Ah... I can't... hold...

Here we go*music note
There should be a space between the music note and the sentence. Maybe even a period added or exclamation mark, whichever, since a special symbol does not count as a sentence closer like that.

Uwahh...Ahhhh....Hnnng...
MAYBE leaving no space here after the "..." would be okay, but just because these might count as tied in noises, not words.

Ahh...I-I'm gonna...I'm gonna cum again, sir!
Ahh... I-I'm going... I'm going to cum again, sir!

Unless it was actually in character for Saionji to say "gonna" then he should be saying it more properly. For Satan it might make more sense, but not everyone just uses "gonna". It's more modern and less proper. Maybe you had a reason or thought he would say "gonna" though. Just pointing that out in case you thought everyone said gonna. 

Hmmph!
Maybe replace with: Haaah!
Hmph is more of an ugly, grunting noise.

S-Sir, my stomach...So warm...
Again, don't forget to space after "..."
I don't know if I pointed all these out, but you get the point by now.

N-No! I have to retreat!!
This was a little confusing. I wasn't sure if it just happened to work like this for the story or what. But this is usually what the boys in the first game said if you didn't successfully beat them, or if you didn't disrobe them fully by their last attack. But Saionji says this when you do fully defeat him, so just curious as to what that's about?

[punipen]

Thank you, Alexx! I've never known about a space after the three dots. Really helpful. The space in front of question mark in some parts is just me derping out from adjusting the text @_@;

The screen problem is pretty hard for me to test. I have tested all resolutions on my screen and nothing like that happen. I think it's the same problem with Arthur's.

Anyway, the game native screen size is not 800 x 600.    It is 800 x 500. Has anyone try its native resolution and still face this problem?

As for the.game over, it's the credit bug I said in my previous post. Basically the gamer doesn't reset it session after the game is ended. This is already fixed in they next update

Good new is that, we have decided to add stage 2 to the demo. However, you won't get to see any Kibi's CG, apart from his Sugar Rush cutin and his naked graphics, if you manage to armor break him.

EDITED : Just confirmed on 800 x 600, full screen. Everything is fine and nothing went beyond the screen border   I'll implement the local log file soon to gather more information on this issue.

[Arthur]

OMG! Kibi!? I can't wait now even if I don't get to see his CGs lol.

Anyway is does seem the resolution problem will haved to be logged through our playthroughs of it. There's not option for 800 x 500 so I can't test that, although 800 x 600 seems to be fine with the edges of the screen. But like I said before, I can't play it at such a small resolution on my screen

[punipen]

Just checked again and surprsingly there were no spaces before the question mark. I think it's the line-wrap script I wrote that cause that problem. X(

[Wanfang]

wow the guy who is playing sugar shooter 2 in you tube is really good. I wonder if he will play hard mode next.
