Unfortunately, in this old version of RPG Maker you can rebind the function keys but not the movement keys, so unless you use a gamepad to play or some external program to "trick" the PC into thinking the keys you want to use are the arrow keys, I am afraid you can't play the game.
Wait, if you download and install the RTP and then download the game and install that one, you can't run the "game.exe" inside the installation folder? RPG Maker doesn't need a player to run, the RTP is just a few assets to that are installed separately, so you don't need to redownload them with each update.
Oh, sorry, I was thinking of a different quest! For this one, you can use hand of fire on the Eye, and it will trigger the next part (there are some hints about how the Eye behaves that should help point players in this direction, if I remember right). Also, I forgot to say this, but remember that there is a walkthrough for the game (it's also linked in the game's folder). Simply find the quest's name (or use CTRL+F to search for the term you want), if you need something for a specific quest or event.
Figured I'd ask before trying: Does being Beatrix's pet block you out of finishing No Sacred Cows for Kira? I know that trying to work there becomes impossible because she'll order you away for your own safety (and to keep your blood tasty), but since No Sacred Cows requires you to be around the farm for awhile, does she interrupt things at any point? It never came up in the walkthrough.
You should be able to do the quest without issues (there are ways to gather intel without working there, anyway). I can't remember what kind of failsafe I have in place for failure, though, I might have to double check.
For the Zanti, you need to get maids first (they'll be the ones providing the maids, at a certain point). Talking to one of the maids will allow you to set things in motion.
I have two questions. One, how do you get access to the Royal Library? And two, and excuse me if I'm a bit ranty, I spent a lot of time trying to work out where the first shapeshifting temple is, but I can't figure out, and your guide doesn't actually tell you how to access it. So how do I get there? And what method, like how to complete the questline to get, sort of deal. Please and thank you. Again, you might want to put an actual guide in how to get them in the guide through. Again, I apologize if this comes off as being mean or angry. I'm just a bit frustrated.
Since you know about the walkthrough, you should be able to CTRL+F for "royal library" to find this, but here is the current entry:
One of the two “advanced libraries” in the game. There are a few ways to gain access to it, but they are all tied to the Emperor (and thus, being a noble is prerequisite):
Join his harem (see above);
Have a relationship score of 5 or higher with the Emperor;
This means that the library is only available from chapter 3 at the earliest.
As for the first temple, perhaps things got more complex over time, so I didn't account for certain possibilities. Are you using the schedule? If you never leave your house through the door, this scene won't trigger, but otherwise you should have a visit from a friend of your uncle after the first day. He tells you to go talk to him at the mage guild, and he will then guide you to the first temple (this visit gives you the quest "First Dig" in the questlog).
If this was the case, I can always modify the schedule to trigger the scene as well.
Well, I talked to him a couple of times, but my dyslexia ass made me read the prompt to see the temple as see you later, or something like that. Great game, by the way.
No, at least not at this point in time. If a few years down the line people are interested, I might release a "Caliross 1.1" update, and then I could reconsider, but for now it's complete.
What does cursed equipment do? Just starting and I have the Magi crown and the pendant you can find early. It seems like cursed equipment just sticks to you unless you bless it at the temple? Do fun stuff happen or debuffs? It doesnt seem to affect the 3 personality stats.
The Magi Crown does affect your willpower (specifically, it gives +5 to intelligence and -10 to willpower).
Due to the way I originally programmed things (and later on, some conflicts between third-party scripts) the values don't update right away, but only after you exit and then re-enter the menu when it comes to equipment affecting your personal stats.
For the pendant, do you mean the Marintas's? If so, that one unlocks all unique hypno-themed scenes around the game. If you are talking about the weird pendant, you can take it off at will, if I remember right. That one affects wet dreams you get if you take a nap (higher slut reputation values unlock more scenes).
So, this is super random, and I think falls entirely into a "just thinking out loud about something I think would be neat" thing than a "this is a request you should take seriously", but given the quantity of brainwashing/trickery/etc. that happens to our sweet protagonist if it's permitted, I am a little sad that it seems like the Emperor's (least?) favorite priestess is quite so willing to accept your disinterest in her proposition, given that she apparently doesn't listen to the Emperor (or anyone else) who tells her not to do it (at least, so far as I can tell, maybe there's some scene related to this that already exists that I didn't run into).
In particular, I think it would make for interesting character narrative making if a "research focused virgin" or "lesbian, girls only!" Erica (IE: That's how the player is playing the character and making choices with the understanding that those are Erica's goals, role playing, as it were), could be pestered by the priestess to just hear her out, let her convince her, really think about how special and attractive the Emperor is, what it'd be like to be his Empress, etc. etc. and prayer blast her while her head was full of those thoughts, given that the Harem route already seems to suggest that the prayer and everything made Erica go totally head over heels for the Emperor to the point where she's unable to distinguish its effects from however she might have felt before.
Maybe it's a little out of character for the priestess (... Maybe not given her apparent scheme to manipulate her girlfriend into carrying 5 kids while she also carries 5 kids, perfectly aware that the court magician is too in love with her to resist despite the fact that it's not what she'd want otherwise), or the goddess, but in my head it'd be an interesting little variant on how to start that subplot for a character who wants to RP "not just agreeing to be goddess brainwashed, that seems like kind of a strange thing for my character to just say yes to" but... You know, probably likes involuntary mind control if they're playing this game.
On a barely related note: Is there any way to know what the "slut reputation" value of an action is without cracking open the save file? ... And does it matter outside of the one guy in the slums and the priestess's comment?
... Also, while making unreasonable requests for features (well, okay, making suggestions you're free to ignore, but those're sort of like requests if you look at them sideways), I do kinda wish the scheduling at your house was a little more generous. Like, maybe the "friction" of it is supposed to be the point, that you're "spending effort" to do it, but being able to snap to, say, the place where you take care of your kids in the morning/afternoon to save you a number of loading screens of walking (in one direction, at least) would be nice? While you'd still have to walk back to wherever you want to spend the first time slot, it'd be less tedious than setting your "start of day" thing to, like, the inn, walking out, walking down, etc. etc. Since the game seems to want "visiting your kids if you got them" to be part of your daily routine (as they get sad if you don't, and you get minor buffs eventually if you do), it being integrated into the thing that lets you create daily routines feels... Natural? I dunno. Similarly, while I don't know that there necessarily needs to be more places you can fast travel to, given that using the fast travel is part of getting scenes, and even unlocking at least one character's interactions, and so on, I've often found using it a bit cumbersome? Frequently finding the nearest fast travel sign, remembering where the right spot to jump to, and then walking another screen or w/e over to get to where I'm going just ends up feeling not that much faster than walking manually, so a few more "start fast traveling here" signs, even if they're one way, seems like they couldn't hurt? Because I mostly fast travel either to get to the Bazaar, or specifically to fish for scenes, which seems not... Quite correct? Also, "leave the city" as a fast travel option seems like it could be useful if you were going to add one?
Edit: Oh, random bonus thing? Problem? Somethin'? If you get caught by the Orc and start doing the "Queen" related tasks with the seer, while the game is perfectly capable of recognizing when you've ID'd the girl you're supposed to snag in the tavern, with the 3 check marks and such, I cannot, presently, figure out what to do from there. My instinct was to go back to Navarra, but she just tells me who I'm looking for, talking to who I'm looking for doesn't give me any options, and I don't have any key items or spells that seem like they do anything? Maybe this part just isn't finished, obviously (as the walkthrough notes that the content terminates after some sex scenes, maybe that's here?), but if it there IS some way to progress once you have the girl ID'd its sufficiently unintuitive I can't figure it out, and if there isn't some way to progress some notice of that fact would've been nice.
Let's see: 1) No plans to change the priestess interaction at this point. I am getting close to wrapping things up, so I am trying to focus on either things I wanted to have in the game, things that are unfinished, quality of life changes and the odd, small task which doesn't need too much time to get done.
2) Slut reputation unlocks certain scenes (like the guy in the slums) and it affects the ending you get with the emperor if it's too high (you can't become the empress).
3) I think I could add the Institute to the schedule as an "extra" for either the morning or the afternoon, that makes sense given how it works.
4) While I agree in theory, I am not sure where I could place more fast travel points. Since the schedule was added, fast travel has probably become even less useful. I'll see about adding a "leave the city" option.
5) The task can be completed, but Navarra wants you to be thorough and check all the "candidates" info, even ones where you already found that something doesn't match her prediction (basically, you should have a complete profile for ALL the girls).
1) Totally fair, as I said, that was more of "it'd be neat" than anything I really expected.
2) Is there any way to tell when an action raises it normally? Or is it all really self apparent? Like, you know, you can (sorta) date various characters, does everyone kiss and tell adding to your reputation, or is it only randos/public activity that add to it? etc.
3-4) Reasonable and thanks for considering making any alterations for QoL tweaks this late in design.
5) Oh, fair enough. Yeah, I'll admit I did not find that intuitive. Whether that's something that matters enough to adjust/put in the quest log/w/e, or if it's fine as is is obviously your call.
Actions that are "slutty" and "public" are generally what raise the slut reputation. Working at the brothel or doing some exhibitionist stuff, for example. Being a slut in private or in places where discretion is more expected is fine.
For Navarra's quest, the idea is that her power isn't perfect, so she wants to cross all the Ts. I'll see if I can change the dialogue to make it more obvious.
Do you have the latest version? This should be fixed. If you do have version 0.9.29a and it still freezes, try winning the test on the first try and see if that helps.
Either a bug or I'm an idiot but I started a new game (back after a year or so) and I immediately tried to do the book sorting job at the apartment on Day 2. I'm stuck in an endless loop in the job. I am trying to sort alphabetically, but either one option greys out or all options are available and the quest seems to be bugged.
Edit: Okay I am an idiot and I'm gonna leave this for anyone else. The text box is a list you sort by switching the greyed out option with the selected option. Don't think this stumped me the first time but I failed today for 10 minutes

is it possible to change the default keybinds? i have a 60% keyboard so no arrow keys

wheres a free rpg maker, the link you provided needs a key
I don't seem to have any problems clicking the links in the page. Was it a link from one of the spam bots that are infesting itch these days?
It was from the game description, not from a comment
“This game requires you to have the RPG Maker RTP installed, here is the link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/degica-downloads/RPGVXAce_RTP.zip”
it says I need to pay for a key to use RPG ace. Is there a free one you could drop a link to?
Wait, if you download and install the RTP and then download the game and install that one, you can't run the "game.exe" inside the installation folder? RPG Maker doesn't need a player to run, the RTP is just a few assets to that are installed separately, so you don't need to redownload them with each update.
In the remains at the beginning of chapter three, How do I stop that thief？(´･_･`)
Do you mean during the adventurers guild quest? You can use the Push spell on a boulder behind him.
But I didn't see any stones in the treasure room, I tried the push spell in many places, and there was no response

How do I expand the window its so tiny
You can cycle through a few options with F5 and F6. Alt+Enter can also toggle fullscreen.
Is there any planned future content with Eliza beyond what is already in the game?
No, at least not at this point in time. If a few years down the line people are interested, I might release a "Caliross 1.1" update, and then I could reconsider, but for now it's complete.
well count me as someone interested down the line
