New House of Hellish Harlots 1.5 Demo
🕑 Added 2024-07-25 11:01:35 +0000 UTCIt's a day later than I initially intended, but the full HoHH 1.5 demo is finally ready to be played with for all patrons/subscribers. The reason for the delay is the early preview version I put out last week for $5 and higher tiers ended up being a lot rougher than I'd have liked, so for the past week I've been working on getting the layout for mobile devices at least playable (which it now is, and should be a lot less painful to interact with).
The demo can be found on the experimental tab of the houseofhellishharlots website. Follow this link.
You should see 3 buttons.
Public Demo is the old proof-of-concept demo I put out last year.
Private Demo is the current demo version for patrons/subscribers. This is the one you want. I'll drop the password at the bottom of this post.
Dev Testing is my private space for when I need to test on various other devices (such as my ancient android phone). Ignore this.
As for the demo itself, it covers the first 4 rounds and contains all of the Tier 1 harlots.
Currently there is no fancy title or options page. I need to add these later. There is also no sound. I haven't decided yet whether to add music/sound fx later or that might just be beyond the scope of the project.
The UI elements are placeholders. I will update those later when I can source art for them.
Sometimes the art is slow to load in depending on internet connection. In this case you'll see a white background or missing portrait/harlot art. Give it a pause and then click the next link and it should show up. I'm currently looking into how to make that smoother.
What the demo does have is all the lovely harlot art I've commissioned from Marwmellow. All 36 Tier 1 harlots are present in the demo. 27 of them have art. (The remainder have plain placeholder silhouettes at the moment).
The version for mobile devices (smartphones) should be vastly improved over the old demo version. Because there is less space, the pinup art shows up as a much smaller image in the top left. Don't worry, I've added some code for this layout, so if you tap the picture, it will bring up a bigger version. Tapping that again will return back to the game. This was the best way I could think of for including the art and still having room for the text.
I've tinkered with the mobile layout a lot and now it looks and plays reasonably okay on my test android phone. Of course, this is just one device, and I'm not sure how it looks on others. If you do run into problems playing on your device, get in touch.
At this point I think the desktop/computer layout is fairly stable and close to how I'd like it for a final version (with much better UI art obviously!).
Mobile was awful, but has improved a lot. The layout is pretty close to how I'd like it.
My plan is to wait until I get the remaining Tier 1 harlot art and then make the demo fully public (ideally, I'll also have a nice title page and replaced the UI placeholder art by then). In the meantime patrons/subscribers will get early looks as I keep tinkering with it.
Feedback is pretty important at this stage, so I'd love to hear people's thoughts.

Your awesome man, I had to cancel my subscription so that I could make a new Patreon account. I will be back, thanks for all your hard work man. Keep it up!

That's what I was hoping for. The previous version wasn't really playable. I still need to tweak some things, but I don't think it's that far behind the regular computer version now.

Just tried it on my android, it works pretty well. Much better than the last one.

She's not been released yet. I'm still writing her. Trying to fit that work around getting the HoHH1.5 demo out. I was hoping for end of month, but it's looking tight now. Fixing HoHH1.5 for mobile took more work than I anticipated.

Is Tempticia in the $5?
