Vortex00 Got a lot done this weekend but I am out of time to work on it for now. I actually tried to finish it.
Got mostly all of the dialogue scenes and sex in the game and connected to the game progression, which was the bulk of the work.
aside from that I did some adjustments on progression. Made Luma and Remi playable, added more enemy ships.
It’s pretty fast paced which is intentional. It isn’t really designed to be a long game. I might make a arcade mini of some things in the game also.
just make it get increasingly harder and harder.

Looking good, so I take it Luma and Riley are hidden characters?
Also I see Luma rocking a Pony Tail, I also see Riley so the drawings are from Eriot?
Anyways this as a mini arcade, making it a survivor mode, that will be infinite getting harder and harder. Sounds about right.
Thanks~
Pinoytoons did all the character art. I used two pose sketches from Eriot. One for a Arielle drawing the the other was for Bri.
Riley is not a playable character. Luma is though and another character named Remi.
I see this takes place after the events of UM and that big ass killing that was going on. To the point people where dead. Hell 2 of them Luma believes to be dead. Makes interesting story when Charity meets Luma. And Luma is shock have the face like she seen a ghost! Let me stop SPOILER ALERT EVERYONE! LOL
Interesting to see what Luma is good at and what she hates.
doing a bit of character… hmm.. not really “balancing”. but making it so that there is not a character that literally takes forever to win a space battle. Some characters take a bit too long to win. characters like TT and Bri currently mainly.
@Vortex00
TT is my second pick out of the 4 girls, I can understand why it would take a little longer with her. Since her specialty is shields.
As for your Special Agent like there abilities, but I cannot judge when there status is OP to the Max. Than the other thing I thought is I’m sure these special Agents will have status of there own. I have no idea how you plan to have them level up. Anyways I know the main focus is the main 3 out of 4 Aria girls.
TT is still very weak to me, I think I have Phia and Ari done.
TT is supposed to be able to take heavy fire but she just can’t deal with it. lol. I think I need to put her shield on a timer or something instead idk still thinking about it.
The special agent you can’t level their stats are static. They are just there if you want to easily beat the levels.
you can play the whole game without leveling the 4 girls and just play special agents if you want. Or you can never use a special agent. It’s up the the player.
@Vortex00
I see for beginners, I wonder if amp going to be able to select as a special agent. than there is goo. They probably have there own ability for the ship. You know TT if you select her being free she does fix the ship.
yeah if beginners is what you want to call it heh. However they are not designed with beginners in mind. They are designed for the people that don’t actually want to be challenged in hentai games. Some just want to breeze through it and get to all the hentai without getting frustrated by losing.
Because unlike most hentai games,when you lose in my games you don’t get shit lol. You don’t get a “you lost but nice try here’s some hentai” when you lose here. So you need to actually win. and with all the ships in play it is pretty challenging as any of the 4 main girls as you go up in levels. especially after i make a few edits.
Then there are some that like a challenge in games. You cal play the game however you want.
but basically later on all 4 possible enemy ship that can be in play at the same time will deploy those small attack ships and they will all shoot lasers around the area. That might be on a hard difficulty setting though.
Amp is not a selectable agent currently.
@Vortex00
I look at the files inside your flash, there is a container that breaks. The containment icon is where after battle containers need to be open and see what is inside, food, weapons, energy, steroids etc. I think adding items that can boost up the level for the girls might help. So that users don’t take forever trying to make TT and Bri as useful as Phia and Arielle.
The order icon is for the mercenaries each mercenaries ship works different than the next ship. It is more like a boost for helping any of the 4 girls.
As a matter of fact remove the word order replace it with the word Equipment. That way you can add a little equipment for the girls like a RPG way. Maybe that might help TT and Bri.
The Containment area should be where the user goes after the battle to see what they got after battle. Might as well make containment icon be use for more things than just being there.
It doesn’t take long you just have to do the train. Not sure if you tired it yet. you get more stats then from a real battle without even battling.
The containment was where the Alien will be.
I’m sure all the girls can be playable with adding ally ships. just need to edit their abilities. I can still have some merc ships you can take into battle with you. But I just want to make sure it isn’t “needed”
I think i got every kinda evened out. or at least everyone can handle their own and still play differently.
And Bri now has the easiest time winning. which is how it should be based on the story.
@Vortex00
Bri the easiest time winning good. I always wonder WTF is TT talking about of Bri skills in battle. LOL
I guess the next thing for your flash is the missing scrip and stages after the 10th event. Also Goo, Remi and Phia events of the Yuri that is in the flash but not access. Remi option to have sex and Luma WIP something that both do nothing.
Anyways Aria is a fun RTS to play.
@Vortex00 @justjoe2k
Hey guys, sorry for taking so long, here are my thoughts. I read all the comments here, some stuff will be said again by me, but now i understand not everything was complete, like the containment option, heh.
————-
As always, I will post a list with all my thoughts on the game and corrections that can be made, i hope it helps!
List:
First Scene
Jeo: Alright, Our objective is…
Jeo: …and travel to the next area.
Jeo: Each space day I will give you a task to do. That will train you in the ways I want.
TT: For the record Jeo, I am a researcher.
TT: …better suited to help the main ship. “Didnt understand the rest of the sentence, I know you are explaining commands but It got a little confusing to me”
TT: And I’m sure… *i dont know if a interrogation suits the sentence*
Second Scene
Arielle: We finally found you, Jeo.
Jeo:…We don’t have time to talk, we…
Arielle: We don’t work under your unit…
Jeo: If there is anyone you should arrest, that’s Dr Natan.
Arielle: she is very close to me *I dont know if one means something*
Animated scene
TT says recommend spelled wrong, heh
Other stuff
There are some begin as buttons on the status screen
Kinda hard to read the girls stats with the blue colors on blue background
Jeo: I have a condition… even the ones… (good to have a explanation about it)
TT: ask her.
Playing as Remi, the battle just started and i used her skills and i won, wow. I think the was only one node, i dont know, i won in half a second, lol
Luma lags my notebook as hell, hehe
Maybe a back button for when you choose the wrong option for a girl? For now i have been going to special agents and going back.
Maybe show how much the girls grown after a battle simulation, you could the space at the right side of the screen
I know its supposed to be a quick game, but i wanted a save option if possible, because sometimes i had to stop playing after training a lot with the girls and once someone closed my chrome, i was pissed at the time xD
I shown the game for a friend and she made a funny comment, to not use comic sans font, maybe try something else, heh
Sometimes using the space key to select my ship and clicking the node would just select the node and not send ships to attack it, i have to try some times before it works
when there are too many nodes on screen it starts to get hard to read the numbers on them, i but i dont know how that could be better
Does the punish button that appears when the girl doesnt make what you want actually makes her obedience rise or it just shows the scenes?
Phia: … my brother’s ship
I liked the possibility of sending phia to talk to him and avoid a fight, remembers me of the idea of negotiating with the other ships you had before
Jeo: There’s stuff even you don’t know, I see.
TT: …it is an alien…
On the fourth area, after the alien goo scene, when tt explains its on containment, i couldnt access the option on the menus, or have sex with the mercenary futa, i chose to train with arrielle and she went for battle
Haha, its funny to see Phia refuses to eat and she is all smiling on her picture and making a positive sign with her hand, feels like she is taunting you like “That that bitch, you arent my boss”
Jeo: Thanks, that is useful information.
Phia: this is not trainning sweetie.
Lynn: I’m sorry, there is nothing…
Jeo: Nevermind…
Lynn: I don’t know, but…
Jeo: I didn’t know she worked on the…
The characters talking during battle is a nice addtion, but the enemies dont do the same =/
I couldn’t access the conteinment option, the orders option and the Sex with Remi during my playthrough.
Overall, i like the game a lot, its a different turn from umcc and its refresing, i can play it on my pace and enjoy it, heh. Having a story to play through makes the ride even more enjoyable 🙂
Cain and Jeo all look and pass this vibe of being badasses. The girls are all gorgeous on pinooytoons art style, the game has a lot of hentai already, but if i could i would wish for some more, lol. Lynn is extremely cute and Yui is irresistible, its a shame we cant see some action with them, not to mention all the other girls and cameos from your other series.
This game is great man, congrats!
@jccq89
Thanks for taking the time to gather information and post this, many of the grammar stuff is fixed some stuff I left because they just talk that way.
“Kinda hard to read the girls stats with the blue colors on blue background”
but why say this after you watched Eriot make it? XD
too late now lol. maybe i can put a option to have a dark box behind it.
Saving the game is usually one of the last things I do because i need to basically need to know every variable in the game so i can only have to do it once.
Pardon me I’m not trying to rip your friend but the font looks fine to me, so I’ll leave it as it is. not sure how it is funny. If you give it a bit of thought it should make sense. The story is told in static pictures. much like a comic, hence the font. Plus I like text you can read very clearly but not totally boring and standard stuff straight up and down lines. Additionally there are a few more reasons why i chose it that deal with psychology and secondly with subconsciousness but they are not worth mentioning unless necessary.
That attack ship clicking issue might remain in the game, trust me I know about it. but it is really difficult to “fix” without removing the spacebar hotkey ability from the game completely. It hard to fix because it’s actually working fine and there is nothing wrong with it. just other components of the game conflict with it by player intervention. As you might have noticed, you just have to stop spam mashing the keyboard hotkeys to do it. It is easier to take a break from spamming in the version I am currently working on where i edited the abilities quite heavily.
I was considering making all the nodes the same size or larger. Not sure yet.
i don’t know in that version that is but currently in the one i have it sets the obey to 100 when you punish.
In the one I have when you train with Arielle she has never decided to battle.
“The characters talking during battle is a nice addtion, but the enemies dont do the same =/”
“I couldn’t access the containment option, the orders option and the Sex with Remi during my playthrough.”
i’m not done.. lol. but enemies might not talk.
Yeah there’s always more I can add to games. But then it takes longer and longer to finish. Some side story stuff can be added later perhaps.
@jccq89 @Vortex00
You can always save it for a sequel. You do have that 3rd person platform shooter flash blue print. And that level creator type flash. You already have the RTS to it. The other 3 flash, Grid Editor, Sidescroller Shooter Engine and Throwing Engine,
I wonder if you remember them flash you found. That the user allows anyone to grab and make it there own.
@justjoe2k @Vortex00
That can work too. There are the mecha versions of their armor and the other idea of negotiation with your enemies too.
@Vortex00

I am glad to help and I have fun doing so, so thank you for letting me test it. Sorry for not having much time these days and taking a little longer to reply to the comments/posts.
““Kinda hard to read the girls stats with the blue colors on blue background”
but why say this after you watched Eriot make it? XD”
True man, you got me there xD, but I didn’t find it a problem till I played the game for a long time reading the words like that, heh.
“too late now lol. maybe i can put a option to have a dark box behind it.”
I think this option will help solve the problem, Eriot was talking to me about putting some shadows on the words, so they will be easier to read on a light background.
“Pardon me I’m not trying to rip your friend but the font looks fine to me, so I’ll leave it as it is. not sure how it is funny. If you give it a bit of thought it should make sense. The story is told in static pictures. much like a comic, hence the font. Plus I like text you can read very clearly but not totally boring and standard stuff straight up and down lines. Additionally there are a few more reasons why i chose it that deal with psychology and secondly with subconsciousness but they are not worth mentioning unless necessary.”
No problem man, heh. For me Comic Sans is a good font, I used to like to use it on messenger, because its easy to read and I don’t care much about it. Still I wanted to put someone else’s input on the matter, that didn’t like it. I don’t know about it internationally, but in Brazil many designers have a problem with comic sans, I read a lot about it. But hey, it works on sending the message you want as you explained, so why not? 😛
“That attack ship clicking issue might remain in the game, trust me I know about it. but it is really difficult to “fix” without removing the spacebar hotkey ability from the game completely.

I see, its ok, I can get used to it, its just something I wanted to point out during my gameplay, heh.
“I was considering making all the nodes the same size or larger. Not sure yet.”
I think same size will work, it just worries me that depending on the size, it could crowd too much the screen?
“i don’t know in that version that is but currently in the one i have it sets the obey to 100 when you punish.”
I am playing the one you sent my through skype, maybe I didn’t see the obey stat rising properly, that’s why I asked, heh.
“In the one I have when you train with Arielle she has never decided to battle.”
That just happened once, and It was like this… just after the Goo explaining with TT, I clicked to train with all girls and only Arielle went to battle somehow.
““The characters talking during battle is a nice addtion, but the enemies dont do the same =/”
“I couldn’t access the containment option, the orders option and the Sex with Remi during my playthrough.”
i’m not done.. lol. but enemies might not talk.”
I thought this was the final version only without the ending, lol. So there is more to look forward too? 😛
You could just add them saying Agh, grr and other sounds when taking hits, not full sentences. If its not a problem.
“Yeah there’s always more I can add to games. But then it takes longer and longer to finish. Some side story stuff can be added later perhaps.”
True, its funny because UMCC its really big and took a lot of time and people still ask for stuff for it. And Aria was supposed to be small, I understand that, but damn, there is so much stuff I want to see happening on this that I can’t help but say it, haha. Pretty good game man, makes me want more, lol.
@jccq89 @justjoe2k
yeah I need to:
connect the goo girl and yuri into the story.
I guess the group pic will be part of the ending. so do that.
add enemy dialogue into the enemy battle text window.
add stuff that happens when you put in the password.
add sfx and bgm.
add various game options/settings
add ability to save
wanted to have a “Arcade” option that is just a quick battle based on settings.
trying to finish this weekend.
later I will probably make a definitive version with the sex stuff voiced, and more hentai and story scenes. Perhaps with those other minigames I had included also. It is much easier to add to this than umcc for sure. I could also add mercenary ally ship with characters and stuff. But for now, even keeping it “simple” is a lot of work.
@Vortex00 @jccq89
Didn’t expect you’ll put the other 3 pieces of flash you found into a future update. Well let’s see what these three might be use for.
If you put the Grid Editor, you know that level editor. It can be use to build a stage to get the key, change the sprite into energy. Put it on the hole to power that CPU board on. OR use for hacking a container etc.
Sidescroller Shooter Engine can be use well for attacking a inside ships power core. Or some mission.
Throwing Engine flash, I have no idea what you can use this for. A throwing type of pachinko/slot machine?
That is the only thing I can think on top of my head.
I think the only thing I can really use effectively is the side scrolling thing. Yeah the other stuff requires more thought.
