Endless Game: Is it possible?

[PaulAsaran]

So I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to just go through a gallery. I'd much rather have the Zs work for their, er, "food". But there are problems to this approach. At low difficulty and fully leveled girls, they just don't go down. At high difficulty, their life after being caught goes down so fast there's no chance to enjoy the scene before you're rushing in to avoid a game over.

But what if you couldn't get the game over?

What I'm looking for is a way to prevent the girls' post-capture health from dropping below 1pt, so they can get caught and both animations can be seen but you never actually get the game over, so you can let the animation run indefinitely. It's like gallery mode, but a lot more dynamic, which I prefer.

I know there are cheat programs and the like out there and they allow things like player infinite health, no ammo use, and so on. Which suggests it should be possible to edit the girls' stats too, but for the life of me I can't find anything out there that does this already. So to the question: is this even possible, or am I looking for something I can't have?

It's possible. Idk how much experience you have with cheat engine. You can make it so that the values "freeze" right before they reach death. It'd be a little wonky with the way the downed meter is coded but doable.

I tried using Cheat Engine but couldn't narrow down which lines were specific to their downed meter. To be fair, every time I've attempted to use Cheat Engine for anything in any game I have almost always failed, despite going through the entire tutorial regarding how it works. I blame my lack of coding education.

Eh, maybe I should go through the tutorial again. It's been a while and I'm sure I've forgotten some things.

The way this game is coded and the way unity engine works, properly narrowing down the pointers would take a bit of time even for people really experienced with cheat engine. It isn't as simple as other engines where you can just fine a preset memory value, unity engine constantly recycles and changes memory values all the damn time so you have to put in more work into finding how the game is choosing what memory values to assign. If you're willing to take the time to learn how to do that then more power to you. I tried once but after a couple hours I came to the conclusion it really wasn't worth it myself.

This explains a lot. My prelimary test just to see if I could track one of the girls' regular health failed. I thought I was just doing it wrong despite the simple nature of it on the surface, but if I understand your codespeak correctly then now I know it wasn't me but Unity being ornery. Sounds like they intentionally designed the engine to be difficult for this sort of thing. And given my coding knowledge is so weak from the start, it would be extra harder for me, so yeah, probably not worth it.

A pity. I wish more game developers would consider a feature like this in the first place. It's one of my favorite ways to play games of this sort but it seems like I'm in the minority since it's almost never a feature.
