The Hive
The Hive is a small dungeon crawler based on the final area of my visual novel "Chasing Tail". You play as Scylez trying to venture deeper into the villain's realm to collect his friends.
This game will randomly generate a larger and larger dungeon after every cleared level. Upgrades can be purchased to make the next level down a little easier to navigate.

Uhh yehhh, new player of your game and on mobile, its kinda good to play but here are some issues for me, dunno if others experience it
1. Ui in mobile is scuffed (just example is game over ui covering the hot stuff that is the game over, start up the nsfw/sfw and the instruction getting covered up by the button prompts)
2. Stamina syringes and the stamina for exploring do not work
Overall its so far working tho i am yet to poasibly face unnoticed bugs and such so who knows what we may come across
There's a really big overhaul of this game in the works. Will be redone from the ground up. Hopefully that'll fix things ^^
hopefully so, none the less, dont rush yourself u legend, take your time and know that what you make is a really great work for many to enjoy
Hello! Sorry to write again but how's the game going? It’s just been 2 months and no news from you, is everything okay?
Late reply again x3 been very busy lately but I did put out a little preview of the new update on my patreon. I put it there simply because it's not polished nearly enough to post here but I just wanted to put something out to show it's in the works still!! Just my day job takes so much time developing is slow going.
Phew, I thought you were gone, glad everything is fine with you ^^
Hello, I am glad that the developer is not abandoning the game and I am glad that the game will receive a big update, excuse me, can I have a few spoilers? 1) will there be a character selection function? 2) will more enemies be added? 3) will the game still be available for Android? 4) with general updates, will new animation scenes be added for enemies?
Very late reply, sorry about that. But what I've got planned so far. No character selection unfortunately. I want to have a much larger selection of lewd scenes and it's way easier to do that with one character you play as. More enemies, yes, but the way they operate will be much different. It's a really lengthy process to get gifs created so they'll probably have a static image until I can get gifs created of them all, so that'll be a wip. Android support is planned. I try really hard to make my games available on as many platforms as possible, so that's on my list to get done. Basically this game is getting redone from the ground up. Taking longer than I anticipated sadly, but I guess what doesn't these days. I'm really pleased with the changes though so far and really looking forward to releasing this :3
How's progress?
(Again sorry if this is rude ×2)
Not rude ^^ glad there's enthusiasm for the project :3 Still in the works. Much closer than before. Probably will put out an early look sometime soon-ish. Got pulled into some fixes and writing changes needed for Chasing Tail so my attention got pulled there during the holidays.
Any updates coming soon?
(Im sorry if this is rude)
not rude, don't worry. But yeah, I've got an update in the works for this. I always wanted to turn this into a more full featured dungeon crawler so that's the plan. More features, better AI, and more lewd content. It's getting remade from the ground up in Godot. Sadly it will probably take a few months before anything is ready to be shown, but I'm working on it!
YEAAAHHHH!!!!!
(yippie)
Take you're time, I'll wait patiently :D
Gonna just add this to the collection so I can keep track of it till it's got a gallery function, and maybe an option to restart at the level you get caught at instead of lvl 1
Thanks for giving it a shot. An update is on my to do list. Just need to actually get around to it.
Ehmmm... Where is the update? And may i ask for sound effects when you get "caught", if you know what i mean.
No update yet but I'm working on it. Got the VN's and one small project ahead of it in the queue and then I'll be putting some major effort into this one ^^
This game did NOT tell me I could get fucked by a guy!
It wanted to surprise you x3
This is quite fun, would be better if there's a gallery tho
And idea for an upgrade/item, a map xD
Oh and also, it'd be better for the Android version if the control is a joystick instead of the four edges of the screen tho
hmm you're probably right about that joystick. I'll add that to my to do list ^^ and yes a map would be pretty helpful. I like that too. I've been gathering ideas for this game because sometime I'd love to give it a lot more content so that's going in the idea bucket!
it would of been cool if something like this was in the base game this is really fleshed out i like it so far
Looks cute
I quite like it, but I'm wondering what collecting allies does? I'm also unsure of the stamina upgrade's effect... does it reduce the damage taken? I also feel like healing items don't become stronger as you progress, unlike the damage taken from enemies.
There are a few mechanics that need some fine-tuning or clarification (as you said yourself), but it's definitely fun and has some great potential. I like the ally collecting even if I'm not sure what it does, I like the bright path, and also the different types of enemy behaviour. Keep it up!
Thanks for playing! I guess more clarity is needed.
All of this is potentially temporary. Things may change as development continues but right now collecting allies restores the most amount of stamina after the level is finished.
Walking through the dungeon slowly reduces the available stamina and the stamina upgrade prevents it from draining so fast.
Hitting enemies greatly reduces a big chunk of your stamina and collecting the healing items restores a small segment of your stamina.
The general idea is that with every level completed, the levels get bigger so you'll need the upgrades to reach the end without running out of stamina. If you do run out of stamina then the only way to get game over is by hitting an enemy, so it's not 100% necessary but gives extra insurance against failing.
I'd like to add in some items, more enemies, and some more variety in general. Maybe also change up what collecting allies does. It's all open ended at the moment.
It's very simple, but i like it, i hope you keep working in updates :)
Thank you :) I do want to add much more to and turn it into a more full game. Any suggestions and ideas are always welcome too ^^
