The game Spectrum of Hybrid is one of the best games I can rate. I'd give it 4.5 stars. Since I'm also autistic, I see differences between the characters of SOH and me. I don't miss the pornographic scenes. Since the game was designed to be asexual and is more about dealing with relationships in other ways, it's more about the tendencies that everyone has. Bellies are especially valued in the game. It's just a shame that Charlie/Chuck isn't dateable. My favorite characters are Zobbe, Damien, Brock, and Morton. I hope that Morten and Brock will play the main roles one day rather than just supporting actors. Daz isn't bad, but he's on the overly fat side and is too much for my taste. I just wonder what the other guardians will be like over the course of the game. The turtle gargoyle Evan is really hot. I hope he finds love with Axel in the side story. And as for Ace's father, Thorvald, he has that typical dad look you're used to. I'm curious to see what happens with him and the Tauren hybrid (Gideon's father, I think). Now to the actual question: Which routes will be expanded next?
Thanks for the post! Sorry for the delay. Here's the help: First pic is Ace & Damian with soup. You can earn it playing as Ace with these required details: Ace must have chosen Damian as his friend at the bar (night one), but also have chosen to date Morton (Feb 14)
In the future, there will be other ways to earn this.
For the second pic:
Top left: play as Ace, choose Jagger as friend night 1, choose Morton or Daz to date Feb 14. You will earn this pic of Ace & Jagger on Feb 17.
To the right of that: same as above, just choose Damian as friend night 1 instead of Jagger.
To the right of that: same as above, just choose Gideon as friend night 1 instead.
Thanks for playing my game! It's unfortunate it doesn't quite hit the mark for you, but I found the info you spoke of. On March 12, Zobbe needs to pick the obvious choice. There are two opportunities. On March 29 when together with Daz, the subject will come up with an obvious choice. It will not necessarily be graphic given the vibe I was going for, but there is a slight bit of in-the-moment animation. I realize this won't please everyone, but it is as far as I would like to take it in-game. As for spicy stuff, like the splash screen says as well as here: there is no "porn" in the game (slightly subjective as mileage may vary) and I do not plan on changing that. I am comfortable with how the game is and very happy for the audience it has reached. I am very OK with anyone drawing porn if they like, but I do not plan to show it in game. Thanks again!
I love this game and a lot of stuff in it, my only gripes with it is Zobbe doesn't really show off his "eat anything" ability more than once in the entire game, which is a shame because not only do I find it really hot, it's a pretty large aspect of his backstory and elaborates on the magic worldbuilding for his species; also the other routes are underdeveloped and later into the game you are given less and less choices.
Zobbe is really self-conscious though, so he doesn't use that ability too much to avoid being called weird. Aside from that, I imagine non-food things are mostly lacking in both flavor and nutrition, so he doesn't really have a reason to eat those.
Totally agree with choices though. Meaningful choices would, of course, slow down development way too much, but I'd be glad to see more flavor choices.
Thanks for the comment! I think it's really hot, too! It shall appear again. As for other routes, I will keep the critique in mind. I think they are OK because I strive to put out a balance of world-building while boring as few players as possible (since I can get carried away with detail). I think there are still lots of fun options, just may depend who the MC is. Lots of development to come (and glossary entries to fill!)
Can I just mention how good the soundtrack is? I especially love the OST used when Zobbe and Evan talk about Lewn (the one where Evan talks about how Lewn became (spoilers))
I loved the next update of zobbe x daz too much... And I get too excited and love it ^^ I'm looking forward to the next part of zobbe x daz... They are my favorite couple and the cutest :3 And a great job
First of all, I love the game and I hope it continues to evolve. My question is whether there will be a Spanish translation since I think it is more likely that there will be a translation in Spanish than in Portuguese, which is my language.
I don't know if the answer to what I'm going to ask will be an spoiler, but I can't stand the doubt anymore. In the AcexMorton route, what affects or changes whether or not you decide to remove the cat that is hanging in that cabin?
That's OK, there's not much context so I'll reply here in case anyone else is worried.
It doesn't change anything. It's just player preference for their own sake, no more no less.
Update: it actually does affect something now, but nothing bad. There is a night where Ace may have a dream, and what he dreams of (besides rng) depends whether the cat was left up or not. Nothing spoopy though.
(Zobbe+Daz route) It seems like even when you choose not to gain weight game's still kinda "set on" the idea of making you bigger, everyone's cooking for you, most of the scenes with Daz are about him making sure that you're stuffed and it kinda feels like the route with gainig weight just without changing sprites and some scenes cut out. It'd honestly be nice if in this scenario the game would let you focus on Daz, I chose the first option hoping that I'd get to fill him up and see some fun scenes with his belly but instead I'm constantly being stuffed (although I have to say that the vore part was great!)
Hello, it is difficult for me to handle this kind of feedback, but your wording was respectful, so I respect you in turn and will try to respond. Thank you for trying both of those routes, much appreciated! The extra time it takes for the hundreds of if/else statements is very time consuming and I have given effort to make things different, but I am focusing on story now so I can promise Zobbe's not in any "danger" of being stuffed. I did not intend to have things be like that so I will keep the feedback in mind for the future, possibly adjust some things to make it less a focus. With my tight time constraints, something had to give and it was unfortunately that. I do intend to make things more flexible in the future.
As for Daz, I do plan on letting him be a focus at some point so that is exciting.
Thank you for the other comments too, almost no one mentions that optional thing so I am glad someone took the time to let me know they care!
It is difficult to make things overall that appeal to as many people as possible without putting off too many others as I am trying to do world building too, and while I cannot please everyone I still want to keep the game flexible so I will keep what you said in mind for the future, thank you.
Hi, I'd just like to say that I can only imagine how hard making a vn can be, expecting something totally different for each option would be unrealistic (especially when you release a new update each month), I was just a little surprised considering that this specific choice seems kinda important (more so to the player rather than the story, at least that's how I see it). Having the choice between gaining weight or not is really nice, most fvn centered around this kind of stuff don't usually let you choose so I was pleasantly surprised. But honestly this game in general has way more flexibility than most others, the amount of choices that matter, people you can date and different interests included is amazing! The worldbuilding is great too, I really enjoy stuff like Morton explaining rules at the stadium . Also, I think it's really neat that you not only answer pretty much every comment but also do it in such a short amount of time!
I've been following this game's development for a while now (I think since September) but man I love coming back to it every month with a new update! Love how each character's story is coming along (especially left hooked by Ace & Morton's story) and hope to see more in the future.
I was wondering if there would be more burp content in a future update, like adding some right after the eating food animation pops up, or adding more to a character that really likes them. They're my favorite aspects of this game :) Regardless, I do love the inclusion of them!
Thanks for the nice words! You're in luck, because not only do I plan on adding so many more optional things like that, I have an array of burps from some generous players who offered their work. I suspect at some point each time one happens, they will be unique! Of course my favorites will occur more than once.
There does exist such a contest (albeit short) but it and other things are for a certain tier of Patreon. At some point that will go public/into part of the game, just not sure when. Excited that you like it all!
Woah! I'm so happy to hear that, thanks for your reply! Damn that makes me so excited for what you have planned :D (hoping Evan can join in on these new burps;)
I respect that, but unfortunately, I cannot account for alternate versions of every piece of artwork and there will be someone unhappy no matter which size I chose.
Take heart though, because this does not necessarily mean this is his canonical size and I will be continuing to keep options as open as possible in-game within my work ability.
It does technically have vore. However, options of who is extremely limited at the moment, and even then it is considered to be quick, cartoony, and very safe, while also being thanks to magic, not "traditional" vore. Options exist to have certain characters tease other characters for the long term (at least one pair so far).
No further plans (other than it being available for other characters/pairs in the future) of deepening this aspect are foreseeably possible, but at least there is fan art and stories! I am A-OK with people writing about them in most scenarios.
Sorry that I missed this! There was an update (1.9.9) that is still available to download. Around February 2, update 2.0.1 will be here and it will include Jagger pursuing Zobbe.

Gideon x Jagger update should be rolling out relatively soon iirc.
And boy, am I looking forward to it.

You can make more scenes and animations and add 18+ erotica to the game content
How rude.
oh, i dream that this amazing game could be translated into other languages

This game is so dynamic and positive, it's really refreshing.
Thanks a bunch! Love your username.
*biiiig blush*
Thanks for compliment, the game, and especially Jagger, he's all I need.
Thanks for your continued development on this.
Especially with Zobbe, I do hope it reaches and touches a lot of folks with multiple disabilities. 🛋✨
I love Zobbe! Thanks for the comment.
Can I just mention how good the soundtrack is? I especially love the OST used when Zobbe and Evan talk about Lewn (the one where Evan talks about how Lewn became (spoilers))
Thanks! I am very happy with the music and I was very careful with how I guided the composers to keep things unique and fun.
I loved the next update of zobbe x daz too much... And I get too excited and love it ^^ I'm looking forward to the next part of zobbe x daz... They are my favorite couple and the cutest :3 And a great job
Update on my birthday, im so excited to read this!
wow. I just finish the new part with Daz and Zobbe and wow just wow... THIS IS THE BEST GAME I EVER PLAY! >.<
First of all, I love the game and I hope it continues to evolve. My question is whether there will be a Spanish translation since I think it is more likely that there will be a translation in Spanish than in Portuguese, which is my language.
Thank you, so glad you love the game!
I cannot make any promises to any translations sadly, at least not for a long time.

Aw, sad to see og Zobbe's body not depicted in the banner art since I didn't vibe with the weight gain aspect of the game.
I respect that, but unfortunately, I cannot account for alternate versions of every piece of artwork and there will be someone unhappy no matter which size I chose.
Take heart though, because this does not necessarily mean this is his canonical size and I will be continuing to keep options as open as possible in-game within my work ability.

Does this game have vore or only vore tease at most?
Depends on the player. In my opinion:
It does technically have vore. However, options of who is extremely limited at the moment, and even then it is considered to be quick, cartoony, and very safe, while also being thanks to magic, not "traditional" vore. Options exist to have certain characters tease other characters for the long term (at least one pair so far).
