You need to install joiplay, but an older version, the new one doesn't seem to work. Ver. 1.01.79 works for me, it can be downloaded from joiplay's website. From there, import the RTP listed in downloads on this page into joiplay, then add the game's exe file to joiplay
I think it has something to do with how the game file is. All the games with 1000s of files work fine. But the one that are a single thing don't seem to work. For me atleast
no, fast travel is that little white board that you see in certain parts of the city. there should be one directly to the right of your house near the fountain
Quick question, is there any way to lose or remove the hourglass shape trait? i didn't notice it when choosing a background. ps. Thanks for the amazing game
There is no way, at least not through regular gameplay. I could maybe add something in the debug tool, although it might be a while before that makes its way in the public version.
Hey mdqp, just wanted to let you know that next to the download option it shows 0 bytes. But when downloading its fine so no issue there. Though if you wanted to fix it , please go ahead but there is no issue with downloading. Anyways , once again great game
Yeah, I actually noticed that myself, but the download seemed to be fine, so I didn't try to re-upload the file just to fix that. Thanks for letting me know, though, it's good to have confirmation. The size is detected automatically by the site when I upload something, I wonder what caused the error.
Assuming you haven't started the vampire path (as those two are mutually exclusive):
There are a bunch of farms near the starting city. If you talk to an NPC inside the building of the largest farm, you can get hired to work there. You'll have to work there for a while, and eventually you start the cowgirl route.
started a new game, got the tour, got in my house but as soon as i get in the bath it says "Take a bath?" even when im already in the bath and a yes no prompt. Both options keep me in the bath on an infinite loop and if i push X i lose the ability to answer the prompt even and can only open the menu with X. no other button does anything. Im stuck in the bath after 2 minutes of playing with no way to escape. help.
im able to replicate it. any time i enter the bath after talking to GAART for the first time i get stuck. Im on the screen that shows her in the bath and i get the prompt "take a bath? (yes/no)" clicking yes retriggers the bath scene and says "ahh that feels great!" and clicking no just removes the dialogue boxes until you press any button again then the dialogue reappears. Its stuck in an infinite loop of cleanliness
Me too, after taking to your uncles friend inside the house, if you go to bath to take one, you stuck in an infinite loop. I save before couse i read this comment, thanks ;)
One thing you can do if you ever get a CG that won't disappear is go to inventory, key items, travel sphere. Once you activate it, take one step to the left and walk up 4 times. There will be a mirror in front of you that will close any lingering CGs when you interact with it. Return to the center of the screen to go back afterwards.
Sorry for replying this late, I must have missed the message somehow (until hectorux replied to you). This will be fixed in the next public release (which should be coming out soon, btw).
Will it ever be possible to revert other paths? It's a little frustrating for example to have to restart the game to play slave path if you entered werewolf path. Sorry for bad English. Cool game.
Sadly, this is an old version of RPG Maker (VX Ace), so it doesn't support Macs natively. You should be able to get it to run through emulation, but that's not something I can do from my end. Here is a tutorial for one way to do it:
The final chapter is being worked on while I add other stuff, so it's slowly getting there. If I just focused on it, I think I could wrap it up in 1-2 months. I am considering making a push for it at least, so maybe in 3-4 months I can have most of what I want/need for a 1.0 release in place. I might actually focus more on finishing the final chapter first, and then add some of the remaining stuff, we'll see. Anyway, I think we are getting there.
I just wanted to say that I'm enjoying this game, and that I appreciate all the effort that you are putting into making it. I hope you are well, staying safe, and I wish you the best.
I have actually been sick for a couple of days, but I am okay now. This will slightly delay this month's release, but shouldn't be anything major, so look forward to the update. ^_^
Just got a black screen after taking the prepared bath with Lea. I reloaded before the bath and the black screen happened around 1/3 of the time when taking the same exact steps up to the bath.
Ooops! This will be fixed in version 0.995, thanks for the report!
By the way, if you get a black screen, but the game still plays, you can usually clear it by using the "time control" debug item in the key items (the one that looks like an hourglass). Say no to the first question, and then you should get access to the rest of the debug options, including a way to clear black screens.
You mean unplug it from charging? Mmmh, I can't imagine why. Does it freeze completely, or does the audio keep playing? If you press F1, F5 or F6 does it respond showing the menu or resizing the window? If you press CTRL+ALT+Del and you check the task manager, do you see RGSS3 Player in the list?
I don't have a laptop myself, so I can't test this, but if I had to guess, this seems like a specific problem with your laptop and RPG Maker together (I presume no such thing happens when playing other games).
Hi man, I just wanted to say I loved your game so much and it has a lot of potentials, thanks for the hard work and if you don't mind I have some suggestions, like : why don't you use unity engine it's awesome for the 2D RPG games, besides you can inspire new techniques from games like "Banner of the Maid", "Rise Eterna" .. etc, I know I'm talking in greedy way but man! you made a master piece, thanks a million time
As for the game engine, I am just one person, and I thought going for something easy to use was better, if I wanted to keep a decent flow of updates (plus, I felt RPG Maker worked fine for the kind of game I had in mind).
My next game will use Ren'py, for similar reasons (that's going to be a sequel to one of my older games). I am not against learning other engines like Unity, but there are a lot of things to consider when starting a project, so I don't want to make promises on whether or not I'd use Unity in the future.
Thank you for playing the game, and letting me know you enjoyed it. :)
About Clothes: 1) That would be great to have a clothing store with several types of outfits (2-5 types). 2) And also the exhibitionist should not be afraid to walk naked (or in bikini) at least at home. 3) Latex outfit bought on the slave district is good to wear on the street at night (and run from guards or toughs) or at least to be home.
Generally, it's too hard to retro-actively go back and add new clothes at this point, at least for general gameplay (RPG Maker is clumsy when it comes to sweeping changes across the game). I might however add new scenes which involve a "wardrobe change". Those are fine to introduce, since they don't mess with the old content.
Just for example: "Uni" and "Third Crisis" (games right here on itch.io) , have different outfits, but some cutscenes have default outfit anyway. But Caliross is a really huge game, maybe it's not work here anyway.
Yeah, the problem is that I didn't consider doing it from the start. If I had planned for it from the beginning, it would have been easy, but at this point, there is just too much to throw away and re-do in order to add proper reactions from NPCs and so on.
The game is really huge and awesome! But... Is there any other dress to wear everywhere on the street? Or other costumes was created only for special places/quests?!
There are two ways to get the merchant pass. The most straightforward is going to the imperial office in Tarkas (same screen as the guilds) and talk to the guys at the front desk (one of the two sells it). You must have reached chapter 2, or they won't sell it, if I remember correctly. Check the walkthrough (CTRL+F "merchant pass"), if you want to read more about the quest that gives the pass as a reward.
As for passenger ships, they can be boarded from Solina's dock and from Rahib's dock (there should be a "captain NPC" you can talk to in both locations).
I'm kinda lost, how do you get to chapter 4? I've already completed the temple and unlocked the royal library. How do complete the part of the quest that says "Solve the mysteries of your people?"
You should have gotten some reminders for this during the game, but you might have missed those. Anyway, in chapter 3 you must also report what you learned about your uncle to your family (they live in a village near Rahib) and Alpharius. You should check the quest "Blood Ties" in the questlog, basically.
Thanks for replying! But i've already completed "Blood Ties", and it's still not triggering my ability to continue my journal to start chapter 4. I've finished all the quests available in Chapter 3 already and am just trying to start Chapter 4 to continue playing the game
So, just to recap: You completed blood ties, and you also completed the temple in chapter 3, correct? Did you exit on the world map recently? If you got the human/sapient transformation from the temple, and you completed the "blood ties" quest, you should have gotten a message when entering the world map (it's the usual reminder to go visit your uncle's desk to start a new chapter).
I *think* it's possible to complete blood ties without exiting on the world map if you talk to Alpharius last, and that would stop the reminder from triggering until you go on the world map again, which is necessary for the option to advance the chapter to become available. If this isn't the case, you might want to upload the savefile on a site like MEGA, so I can take a look at it, and figure out what's wrong.
It's all good! ^_^ Honestly, I wonder if I should have forced people to stay in the final room for each temple until they found everything, specifically to avoid these situations, (but it feels a bit heavy-handed, so I don't like it whenever I do it).
So the music plays, the screen comes up, the menu options comes up and the screen also switches between the two different backgrounds, but when you press, say, enter or the arrow keys, you don't get any response, is that right?
Mmmh... I never heard of this before. If you press F1 does it bring up the option menu for RPG Maker (If so, you can check the keyboard settings)? Do you have other RPG Maker VX Ace games you could try to see if the problem extends to other games from the same engine? Do you have some "unusual" input devices plugged in (like, tablets, off-brand controllers, etc.)? Which version of windows are you on?
There are some scenes with monsters, yes. There are slimes, tentacle monsters, orcs and minotaurs (plus creatures like dryads, succubi, mermaids, etc). Some of these can't be met right away, however (encountering the tentacle monsters, orc and minotaur you can have sex with is tied to quests, for example).
Cast Detect Magic in your bedroom, and it should show something is up with your mirror. Enter, use Push on the button so you can get into the room before the door closes, then you'll get the book for it.
You can't take it off (it doesn't take an equipment slot, but it stays in your inventory permanently). It unlocks a series of mind control scenes around the game. You can't avoid the scenes by any means other than avoiding the NPCs themselves who have them (you can't really know beforehand who can trigger these scenes).
If you don't like being mind controlled, definitely avoid the charm.
How long does it usually take to for the letter to get in to the manor to arrive? Seems to be taking forever, does something need to happen before it arrives?
Hi there, the game is very interesting, yet I'm currently caught into a bug rather unpleasant : After finishing the 3rd temple, I went back through the main door, then went out in the water as a fish. But when I arrive on the waterfall screen, I can't move. Which means I were stuck behind the waterfall in fish form, without any visibility.
I was able to overdo it by using the travel sphere to the 2nd temple, and on hidenpath (which is walking on water) transform back into human, but this can be quite troublesome
I think I know what's the problem: When you left for the waterfall screen, did you exit from the left or right tile, instead of the central one? I think I forgot to update all the exits. This didn't come up before because the central tile is usually the one used (since it's where you appear when you enter the room from the waterfall, and it's in line with the temple's door).
Anyway, this will be fixed in version 0.992, thanks for the report!
This has been a very burning question in mind, so if you can answer it then i'd be very grateful for it. Can you fully transform into a Slime Girl without being limited to an ending? I've been seeking for a title like this in that the female MC can fully transform into a Slime Girl and it would be even better if she could get pregnant with some Slime Girl babies. If you can answer both then, again, I would greatly appreciate it since these are the two most fervent questions that I would go into this project's discord in order to have answered, but if you can answer them here then, again, I would greatly appreciate it. ^-^
I see, that's actually very relieving to hear about the slime pregnancies since i'm hoping a few can result in a chance of birthing slime girls, seriously. ^-^ Is there a Slime Girl transformation as one of the transformation options at the very least? According to the guide there does some to be at least one Slime Girl that the MC can meet and, if it's possible, i'd positively love it if the MC can transform into a Slime Girl through the "Transformations" menu, honestly. <3
I wouldn't want to add a slime girl transformation for a few reasons. One is that it would likely overlap with the mouse transformation in practical applications (you use the mouse to crawl into small spaces, and a slime would be able to do that as well), plus one could imagine being able to stretch over gaps and other stuff which aren't planned.
We are also near the end of the development, adding a new transformation would be too hard to fit now (all transformations are used in puzzles and exploration).
Ah, I see. Damnit... I was really hoping that there'd be a Slime Girl transformation option, but if there's a way to get the MC pregnant with some slime girls then that'd be enough for me I suppose.
I am considering putting the game on there for free once I am finished (although that means paying 100$ for no direct benefit, I am sure there is a lot of potential exposure there). I don't want to try to sell the game, as I'd prefer all my revenue to come from one place (Patreon right now, although I appreciate any kind of donation, of course), and selling something is different from getting donations on Patreon.
I don't think I can do it without putting my name out there, however, so I also have some slight concerns about my privacy/anonimity (I am not trying hard at all to stay anonymous, but having your name next to the game on the largest pc gaming store is in a different league).
Long story short, I'd like to, but I have some reluctance.
Currently, the only library which works for the quest is the royal library, so you must become a noble and then ask the emperor about gaining access to it. He gives you access if you meet some requirements (either if you are part of his harem, if you completed a specific quest for him before, or if your relationship with him is 5 or more).
I plan to add at least 1 more library in the future where such a research is possible, but for now that's the only one.
Just discovered a glitch where if you're staying at the Golden Leaf before starting the cowgirl path, not only does the dream that warns you against locking yourself into it not trigger, but neither do you automatically go to the farm every morning once you are locked it.
I'll make the warning dream trigger no matter what (so even sleeping at an inn or on the map will still let players know). I hadn't done so back then, because I had tried to keep all important scenes from triggering outside, but this one should start regardless of where you are. Hopefully there are no awkward scenarios I am forgetting, but I think it should be fine to have the dream trigger wherever.
The visits to the farm were also locked for similar reasons (I was afraid of, say, moving the players on the other side of the map, if they were staying in Rahib for the night), but it's perfectly fine for Golden Leaf, so I'll just add an exception for it. The fix should go live in version 0.991 of the game.
Yes. Actually, we very recently got a poll on what to work after this month's release. The vampire path as well as Jin and Lea are on top of the list now, so that's likely what we are getting for November (or December, if you aren't a patron).
I got this game ages ago, I don't actually remember how long its been, I've been playing it off and on, decided to come back here to see if you were still updating and holy hell am I looking forward to the new content. But I guess I'm gonna be speedrunning through the first few chapters again lol
(also have you added in any more with the hypnotist at the circus?)
Thank you for your work, porn aside, this has genuinely been a fun game to play, the amount of different paths you can take has kept me occupied for hours on end, idk what my total playtime is but its definitely over 25hrs and I haven't even gotten past chapter 3!. Thanks a bunch and I cant wait to see more of your work!
The version I was playing was 0.983b, I did try going back through your logs to see when it came out, but I couldn't find it, one of the first things I noticed with the latest version was you had patched a bug with an event with the fashion designer (Lana?), and added a CG to one of my favourite scenes so I am very grateful.
Oh, also for future updates, is there a way to take save files from older versions? I can't think of a way to do so myself, but I dunno if you've made some sort of system for that purpose.
Also do you have a discord or something? Because I am definitely going to start keeping track of any bugs I find and would love a place to throw them all at you ;)
Now if you will excuse me, I shall go and place some very well deserved money in your money hole ;)
So it must have been around 7 months ago (the version number goes up by 1 every month nowadays, and we are at version 0.990 now).
In theory, if you play from update to update, you can simply copy/paste the save files (you should also copy/paste the "Myproject" folder, as it contains the system options like sound volume, separately from the saves) and you are good to go. The more time passes between the versions you try, however, the higher the chance there might be something which isn't compatible. It's rare that an update breaks compatibility, however, and I usually mention it when it does. Generally, the worst that happens is that old scenes get updated, but you can't see them without restarting, while new content is generally 100% good to go from an old save.
If you check my patreon page, near the bottom there is a link to a post to join the discord. I kept the post for patrons only, since I am not sure I could mod a larger discord, if it ever came to that. You will remain part of the Discord even if you stop being a patron, though.
Thanks for the generosity, I hope you'll enjoy the future updates as well. ^_^
You mean in the coming months? Yes, probably. There is a lot to do, but more and more stuff should get wrapped up soon-ish, especially things that aren't too far off from completion.
So far I'm enjoying the game a lot, but I ran into the issue where if you accidentally click too fast while talking to the first town's bar groper, it auto selects beat up and than the entire line is shut down without anyway to undo it as far as I can tell. I hadn't saved for half an hour before that and it single handedly made me close out of the game for the day. If there's going to be an option to permanently remove content from the game, please make it not the default dialog choice. And if that doesn't permanently remove the content form the game, maybe give a hint on how to renew that line in subsequent dialog.
I can add a script so that there is a short period of time when the choices can't be picked, so it ignores any button pressed as the choice window is opening (I'll give it half a second, should be plenty, without slowing things down too much). Of course, you could still end up picking the wrong choice if you are mashing or if you are distracted, but I think it's better than the alternatives (no matter what's the default choice, some people could be annoyed, if they pressed it by accident, and it's not feasible to add options everywhere to have a second chance).
I wish RPG maker had a "go back" option in dialog like Renpy does, but the brief window should help a bit. Usually it's because when seeing a scene that's a permutation, or copy of, of a previous one, I tend to skim a bit and don't always remember exactly which dialog comes before the prompt. So hopefully a second delay will let me see the option pop up.
Upon revisiting the dialog, I think one other thing that might help is having the input be after the guy says his dialog instead of after the PC says "... ... ..." as the longer dialog window I think helps prevent accidentally hitting the input. Usually the first thing I do when I see a dialog window is hit enter to see the entire dialog right away. But when the dialog is so short, sometimes it all shows up before I hit enter and the enter becomes an input instead.
If it's for repeating scenes, you can safely (and quickly) skip text by holding down the "W" key (this works for unread text as well, so be careful or you might miss important stuff). Since the "W" key doesn't select choices, you can hold it down without fear of picking an option, at least. I think the "delayed input" I added for the choices should be plenty, but we'll see when you get to try it yourself. :)
Superb work. The exploration in this game is HUGE. And the porn, if I can loosely use that word, is very subtle if you so choose. A grand adventure. Nicely written - all of it.
I would like to add that if you search for, "Caliross" directly in itch.io search, nothing comes up. Could be a keyword missing.
Thanks! Always great to hear from people who like the game! ^_^ Do you mean I should have the keyword "Caliross" in the project's tags? I figured searching for the name would make it show up regardless.
Yes, MDGP. I mean exactly that. If you go to "http://itch.io" and type out "caliross" in the search you get back:
No results found
If you type instead in the search, "adult" you get back a bunch of games that have nothing to do with "adult" games.
I have previously played and won another erotic RPG (as far as I could as the game is incomplete), "EraHunter."
I was playing "Under Control" which was nice but the difficulty in combat skyrocketed right near the end and even with the whole continent open, it does not seem like I will be able to fight the monsters on the final level in any capacity.
I started playing, "Lust Doll." a bit last night. It is a post-apocalyptic game with very high level of detail to define your character and the most basic of icons for navigation. Deep text and character development. Almost too much porn though. EraHunter and yours so far are the best I have found.
There is Goblin Layer which I have not yet looked at.
Your game also reminds me a bit of "Azure Dreams" for the PS1, a game that promises adventure as well as romance with a few women to choose from.
1. The girl that says she hates you all the time and is very wealthy. 2. A girl that is very sick, homebound, and can barely walk. 3. Your childhood sweetheart. 4. The woman running the items shop. Brash but friendly. 5. The woman running the fortune telling shop. Mysterious and sexy.
Likely there are others.
Having played your game though now for 10-hours now I thought I would track down where it originally came from. And I did. "itch.io"
I previously found your game on the site, "http://fap-nation.com" and it hosts a great number of other porn games. The keyword I used to find yours was "RPGM" which of course means RPG Maker, my favorite type of game style to play in any capacity, porn, humor, horror, and adventure.
Mmmh, the game does show up for me if I search the name, so I'll have to ask others to try it out. Does itch.io have age authentication? Could that be why they don't show you adult games? When I am logged out, I can't find Caliross, so maybe there is something there. As for typing "adult", you have to use tags search for that (if you search "adult", a clickable "adult" button should appear near the top left, and that should take you to the games tagged as such).
In theory, I started out on a few forums and on Patreon for Caliross (my older games were/are completely freeware, instead), but yeah, I didn't submit my own game to fap-nation (good that it was a way for you to find the game, however!). I wonder if I should add a link to the Patreon in the game itself, just to let more people know.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, and for letting me know about the search. I'll have to ask around, and see if others can't see the game if they search for it as well.
In your settings, do you have NSFW content allowed? Maybe that's what kept my game from showing when you search for it (at least, that's how it worked for one of my patrons when he checked it out).
Ah ! That was it. I brought up my settings and found:
Show content marked as adult in search & browse
I checkmarked it, clicked SAVE, then did a search for "Caliross" again.
This time it came up.
So, yeah from other sites you are going to have to tell your users to:
1. Create an account on itch.io. 2. Click on the far upper right triangle that is to the right of their avatar and alias. 3. Select Settings. 4. Scroll to find, "Show content marked as adult in search & browse." 5. Checkmark that. 6. Select SAVE. 7. Then if they search for it, it will come up.
=IF= you want to use the search feature of itch.io, that is.
It will then bring up a prompt asking if you are 18 or older. Saying yes your link will come straight up, no need for creating an account, settings, or checkmark.
As a writer in Writer's Cafe, I have a little over 53,000 readers. But for the book chapters marked ADULT, I barely have 20-readers to each of those. So, yes, tagging your work as adult will definitely decrease the number of people who can access it or search for it in itch.io.
What you might do is compromise. Upload a safe-for-work and incredibly limited demo of your game, "Caliross" and do not mark it as adult so anyone can find it. Have in the game (when the demo is won) a link to the "final" version of it also asking at the end of the game demo if they are 18 or over.
I did this in some of my book chapters. I would post 2-chapters consecutively with the same chapter number and one would be safe-for-work and the other would not be, and my readers could choose which one to read.
Glad this was solved. It was harder for me to realize, because since I make Caliross, itch.io automatically changes my setting to be able to see adult stuff (which makes sense). Generally, I link my page directly, so for people coming from my own links, it should be fine.
I am not sure if I want to make a SFW demo, but I certainly appreciate the suggestion. :)
I was really looking forward to this update and have been enjoying it so far. I did have a couple of questions though. After visiting the slums church, I was told to go to a library to research a ritual but no quest indicator popped up. After doing that, I have obtained the info that the ritual for the spider lady only works on a full moon and have attempted to put it to use in the slums church but nothing happens on a full moon. Am I doing something incorrectly? Does it require me to gain access to the royal library? If so, how would I go about it?
You must research about the spider lady in the royal library to progress with that path. To gain access to the library, you must be a noble, and you can ask about it to the emperor when you visit the castle (so, once you go back after you first get nominated as a noble). To convince the emperor, you can either be part of his harem, have a good relationship with him, or have completed the quest related to the smuggled mana crystals.
The ritual that can only happen during the full moon is a different one, so you probably got confused.
I hope to add another "advanced" library soon, so people will be able to complete this quest without having to "suck it up" to the emperor.
Yep, that's another one that would be qualified for the research, but I need to add the upper floors and handle the mini-quest to gain access to those (you'd need to find a book that isn't in the library yet as a "gift" to be allowed to go further upstairs).
I think it would be pretty cool if you could hire the clown in tarkas resedential district for the party hard quest the man in that area even says that the clown could easily land a job with a noble

How to play on andriod
You need to install joiplay, but an older version, the new one doesn't seem to work. Ver. 1.01.79 works for me, it can be downloaded from joiplay's website. From there, import the RTP listed in downloads on this page into joiplay, then add the game's exe file to joiplay
I think it has something to do with how the game file is. All the games with 1000s of files work fine. But the one that are a single thing don't seem to work. For me atleast
Are there any Ghost possession of the player?
there's a nudist ghost that has a probability of possessing you if you fast travel in Tarkas during day
How do i fast travel?
Is the Fast travel the Coachman? If yes i traveled a lot and can't trigger the scene.
no, fast travel is that little white board that you see in certain parts of the city. there should be one directly to the right of your house near the fountain
Thank you so much. 🥰
Quick question, is there any way to lose or remove the hourglass shape trait? i didn't notice it when choosing a background.
ps. Thanks for the amazing game
There is no way, at least not through regular gameplay. I could maybe add something in the debug tool, although it might be a while before that makes its way in the public version.
Glad you like the game! ^_^
Hey mdqp, just wanted to let you know that next to the download option it shows 0 bytes. But when downloading its fine so no issue there. Though if you wanted to fix it , please go ahead but there is no issue with downloading. Anyways , once again great game
Yeah, I actually noticed that myself, but the download seemed to be fine, so I didn't try to re-upload the file just to fix that. Thanks for letting me know, though, it's good to have confirmation. The size is detected automatically by the site when I upload something, I wonder what caused the error.
how can i start the cow girl route
Assuming you haven't started the vampire path (as those two are mutually exclusive):
There are a bunch of farms near the starting city. If you talk to an NPC inside the building of the largest farm, you can get hired to work there. You'll have to work there for a while, and eventually you start the cowgirl route.
when i try to enter the game tels me: RPGVXAce is required to run this game
Did you install the RTP?
https://s3.amazonaws.com/degica-downloads/RPGVXAce_RTP.zip
i have no idea what is that, so im guesing no
i had no idea i neded something else
thx
started a new game, got the tour, got in my house but as soon as i get in the bath it says "Take a bath?" even when im already in the bath and a yes no prompt. Both options keep me in the bath on an infinite loop and if i push X i lose the ability to answer the prompt even and can only open the menu with X. no other button does anything. Im stuck in the bath after 2 minutes of playing with no way to escape. help.
im able to replicate it. any time i enter the bath after talking to GAART for the first time i get stuck. Im on the screen that shows her in the bath and i get the prompt "take a bath? (yes/no)" clicking yes retriggers the bath scene and says "ahh that feels great!" and clicking no just removes the dialogue boxes until you press any button again then the dialogue reappears.
Its stuck in an infinite loop of cleanliness
Me too, after taking to your uncles friend inside the house, if you go to bath to take one, you stuck in an infinite loop. I save before couse i read this comment, thanks ;)
This should be fixed once the new release hits. :)
One thing you can do if you ever get a CG that won't disappear is go to inventory, key items, travel sphere. Once you activate it, take one step to the left and walk up 4 times. There will be a mirror in front of you that will close any lingering CGs when you interact with it. Return to the center of the screen to go back afterwards.
Sorry for replying this late, I must have missed the message somehow (until hectorux replied to you). This will be fixed in the next public release (which should be coming out soon, btw).
How do we trigger the court content for nobles?
Do I need to have done the party quest?
Will it ever be possible to revert other paths? It's a little frustrating for example to have to restart the game to play slave path if you entered werewolf path. Sorry for bad English. Cool game.
I think I'll make the werewolf path reversible, but I need to complete it first. Glad you like the game. ^_^
Would it be possible to make this game available on Mac?
Sadly, this is an old version of RPG Maker (VX Ace), so it doesn't support Macs natively. You should be able to get it to run through emulation, but that's not something I can do from my end. Here is a tutorial for one way to do it:
https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/how-to-play-any-rpgmaker-on-mac...
Thank you.
It's been awhile sadly I can't try out any of the new updates since my laptop is broken but they are looking good.
If you don't mind me asking how many more updates do you think the game will need last time I played the final chapter was nowhere near done
The final chapter is being worked on while I add other stuff, so it's slowly getting there. If I just focused on it, I think I could wrap it up in 1-2 months. I am considering making a push for it at least, so maybe in 3-4 months I can have most of what I want/need for a 1.0 release in place. I might actually focus more on finishing the final chapter first, and then add some of the remaining stuff, we'll see. Anyway, I think we are getting there.
Glad to hear that this has been one of the best rpg maker games I have played just the lore characters and world building all amazing.
I just wanted to say that I'm enjoying this game, and that I appreciate all the effort that you are putting into making it. I hope you are well, staying safe, and I wish you the best.
Thanks! Glad to hear you are having fun. :)
I have actually been sick for a couple of days, but I am okay now. This will slightly delay this month's release, but shouldn't be anything major, so look forward to the update. ^_^
Just got a black screen after taking the prepared bath with Lea. I reloaded before the bath and the black screen happened around 1/3 of the time when taking the same exact steps up to the bath.
Ooops! This will be fixed in version 0.995, thanks for the report!
By the way, if you get a black screen, but the game still plays, you can usually clear it by using the "time control" debug item in the key items (the one that looks like an hourglass). Say no to the first question, and then you should get access to the rest of the debug options, including a way to clear black screens.
I have noticed a bug where if I unplug my laptop while I'm playing the game, it freezes and I have to restart.
You mean unplug it from charging? Mmmh, I can't imagine why. Does it freeze completely, or does the audio keep playing? If you press F1, F5 or F6 does it respond showing the menu or resizing the window? If you press CTRL+ALT+Del and you check the task manager, do you see RGSS3 Player in the list?
I don't have a laptop myself, so I can't test this, but if I had to guess, this seems like a specific problem with your laptop and RPG Maker together (I presume no such thing happens when playing other games).
I tend to play with the sound off, so I'll have to try that at some point.
If you ever get a chance, try other RPG Maker VX Ace games as well, just to make sure it's related to the engine, as I suspect.
Hi man, I just wanted to say I loved your game so much and it has a lot of potentials, thanks for the hard work and if you don't mind I have some suggestions, like : why don't you use unity engine it's awesome for the 2D RPG games, besides you can inspire new techniques from games like "Banner of the Maid", "Rise Eterna" .. etc, I know I'm talking in greedy way but man! you made a master piece, thanks a million time
Hi! Nice to hear you like the game. ^_^
As for the game engine, I am just one person, and I thought going for something easy to use was better, if I wanted to keep a decent flow of updates (plus, I felt RPG Maker worked fine for the kind of game I had in mind).
My next game will use Ren'py, for similar reasons (that's going to be a sequel to one of my older games). I am not against learning other engines like Unity, but there are a lot of things to consider when starting a project, so I don't want to make promises on whether or not I'd use Unity in the future.
Thank you for playing the game, and letting me know you enjoyed it. :)
About Clothes:
1) That would be great to have a clothing store with several types of outfits (2-5 types).
2) And also the exhibitionist should not be afraid to walk naked (or in bikini) at least at home.
3) Latex outfit bought on the slave district is good to wear on the street at night (and run from guards or toughs) or at least to be home.
Generally, it's too hard to retro-actively go back and add new clothes at this point, at least for general gameplay (RPG Maker is clumsy when it comes to sweeping changes across the game).
I might however add new scenes which involve a "wardrobe change". Those are fine to introduce, since they don't mess with the old content.
Just for example:
"Uni" and "Third Crisis" (games right here on itch.io) , have different outfits, but some cutscenes have default outfit anyway.
But Caliross is a really huge game, maybe it's not work here anyway.
Yeah, the problem is that I didn't consider doing it from the start. If I had planned for it from the beginning, it would have been easy, but at this point, there is just too much to throw away and re-do in order to add proper reactions from NPCs and so on.
The game is really huge and awesome!
But... Is there any other dress to wear everywhere on the street? Or other costumes was created only for special places/quests?!
Glad you like it. ^_^
There are some special outfits for certain quests/jobs/scenes, but for regular play, you only have your default outfit.
>>you only have your default outfit
It's so sad! :<
how do you get the merchant pass and where is the location of the passenger ship ?
There are two ways to get the merchant pass. The most straightforward is going to the imperial office in Tarkas (same screen as the guilds) and talk to the guys at the front desk (one of the two sells it). You must have reached chapter 2, or they won't sell it, if I remember correctly. Check the walkthrough (CTRL+F "merchant pass"), if you want to read more about the quest that gives the pass as a reward.
As for passenger ships, they can be boarded from Solina's dock and from Rahib's dock (there should be a "captain NPC" you can talk to in both locations).
I'm kinda lost, how do you get to chapter 4? I've already completed the temple and unlocked the royal library. How do complete the part of the quest that says "Solve the mysteries of your people?"
You should have gotten some reminders for this during the game, but you might have missed those. Anyway, in chapter 3 you must also report what you learned about your uncle to your family (they live in a village near Rahib) and Alpharius. You should check the quest "Blood Ties" in the questlog, basically.
Thanks for replying! But i've already completed "Blood Ties", and it's still not triggering my ability to continue my journal to start chapter 4. I've finished all the quests available in Chapter 3 already and am just trying to start Chapter 4 to continue playing the game
So, just to recap: You completed blood ties, and you also completed the temple in chapter 3, correct?
Did you exit on the world map recently? If you got the human/sapient transformation from the temple, and you completed the "blood ties" quest, you should have gotten a message when entering the world map (it's the usual reminder to go visit your uncle's desk to start a new chapter).
I *think* it's possible to complete blood ties without exiting on the world map if you talk to Alpharius last, and that would stop the reminder from triggering until you go on the world map again, which is necessary for the option to advance the chapter to become available.
If this isn't the case, you might want to upload the savefile on a site like MEGA, so I can take a look at it, and figure out what's wrong.
Ah... I forgot to interact with the statue to get the sapient transformation. So sorry for the confusion. You're making an awesome game btw!
It's all good! ^_^ Honestly, I wonder if I should have forced people to stay in the final room for each temple until they found everything, specifically to avoid these situations, (but it feels a bit heavy-handed, so I don't like it whenever I do it).
Glad you are enjoying the game! ^_^
I downloaded the game but when it launches I cant interact with the game. If someone could help that would be great
If you mean that the game crashes right away, you might be missing the RTP:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/degica-downloads/RPGVXAce_RTP.zip
If you mean something else, you'll have to be more specific.
The game launches but the screen can not be interacted with
So the music plays, the screen comes up, the menu options comes up and the screen also switches between the two different backgrounds, but when you press, say, enter or the arrow keys, you don't get any response, is that right?
yes that is correct
Mmmh... I never heard of this before. If you press F1 does it bring up the option menu for RPG Maker (If so, you can check the keyboard settings)? Do you have other RPG Maker VX Ace games you could try to see if the problem extends to other games from the same engine? Do you have some "unusual" input devices plugged in (like, tablets, off-brand controllers, etc.)? Which version of windows are you on?
You might also want to check this thread: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/normal-keyboard-inputs-not-work...
I cant start the game. It keeps saying that it can't find VL gothic font.
This game requires you to also have the RPG Maker RTP installed, here is the link:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/degica-downloads/RPGVXAce_RTP.zip
hello a quick question, does the game have or will it ever have scenes with monsters? you know goblin orcs and etc .
There are some scenes with monsters, yes. There are slimes, tentacle monsters, orcs and minotaurs (plus creatures like dryads, succubi, mermaids, etc). Some of these can't be met right away, however (encountering the tentacle monsters, orc and minotaur you can have sex with is tied to quests, for example).
How do you get the pocket dimension spell?
Cast Detect Magic in your bedroom, and it should show something is up with your mirror. Enter, use Push on the button so you can get into the room before the door closes, then you'll get the book for it.
Bedroom in Tarkas, that is.
What does the charm you get from the outcasts do? Does it force anything on you and can you take it off
You can't take it off (it doesn't take an equipment slot, but it stays in your inventory permanently). It unlocks a series of mind control scenes around the game. You can't avoid the scenes by any means other than avoiding the NPCs themselves who have them (you can't really know beforehand who can trigger these scenes).
If you don't like being mind controlled, definitely avoid the charm.
Thank you! I'll be avoiding that charm :)
How long does it usually take to for the letter to get in to the manor to arrive? Seems to be taking forever, does something need to happen before it arrives?
You'll need to give me some more details here. What's the letter that is supposed to arrive? What's the context?
i think they're talking about the nobility letter, which im fairly certain is 3 days
The letter that the servant says she will send when the manor is ready to live in. She won't let me enter the manor.
Oh, I see! You must advance to the next chapter for the manor to be ready. It's not a matter of time spent, in that case.
nothing on jin? :'(
I should sneak in something for him and Lea this month, I think (so they should show up in version 0.993). Hang in there! XD
Hi there, the game is very interesting, yet I'm currently caught into a bug rather unpleasant :
After finishing the 3rd temple, I went back through the main door, then went out in the water as a fish.
But when I arrive on the waterfall screen, I can't move. Which means I were stuck behind the waterfall in fish form, without any visibility.
I was able to overdo it by using the travel sphere to the 2nd temple, and on hidenpath (which is walking on water) transform back into human, but this can be quite troublesome
Glad you find the game interesting. :)
I think I know what's the problem: When you left for the waterfall screen, did you exit from the left or right tile, instead of the central one? I think I forgot to update all the exits. This didn't come up before because the central tile is usually the one used (since it's where you appear when you enter the room from the waterfall, and it's in line with the temple's door).
Anyway, this will be fixed in version 0.992, thanks for the report!
This has been a very burning question in mind, so if you can answer it then i'd be very grateful for it. Can you fully transform into a Slime Girl without being limited to an ending? I've been seeking for a title like this in that the female MC can fully transform into a Slime Girl and it would be even better if she could get pregnant with some Slime Girl babies. If you can answer both then, again, I would greatly appreciate it since these are the two most fervent questions that I would go into this project's discord in order to have answered, but if you can answer them here then, again, I would greatly appreciate it. ^-^
Let's see... I have no plans currently for a permanent transformation into a slime girl, but I'd like to add slime pregnancies at some point.
I see, that's actually very relieving to hear about the slime pregnancies since i'm hoping a few can result in a chance of birthing slime girls, seriously. ^-^ Is there a Slime Girl transformation as one of the transformation options at the very least? According to the guide there does some to be at least one Slime Girl that the MC can meet and, if it's possible, i'd positively love it if the MC can transform into a Slime Girl through the "Transformations" menu, honestly. <3
I wouldn't want to add a slime girl transformation for a few reasons. One is that it would likely overlap with the mouse transformation in practical applications (you use the mouse to crawl into small spaces, and a slime would be able to do that as well), plus one could imagine being able to stretch over gaps and other stuff which aren't planned.
We are also near the end of the development, adding a new transformation would be too hard to fit now (all transformations are used in puzzles and exploration).
Ah, I see. Damnit... I was really hoping that there'd be a Slime Girl transformation option, but if there's a way to get the MC pregnant with some slime girls then that'd be enough for me I suppose.
Just out of curiosity will this have a Steam release date sometime in the future?
I am considering putting the game on there for free once I am finished (although that means paying 100$ for no direct benefit, I am sure there is a lot of potential exposure there). I don't want to try to sell the game, as I'd prefer all my revenue to come from one place (Patreon right now, although I appreciate any kind of donation, of course), and selling something is different from getting donations on Patreon.
I don't think I can do it without putting my name out there, however, so I also have some slight concerns about my privacy/anonimity (I am not trying hard at all to stay anonymous, but having your name next to the game on the largest pc gaming store is in a different league).
Long story short, I'd like to, but I have some reluctance.
Does this have nudity
Yes, it's an adult game. Not all the scenes have art, but there are hundreds of scenes which do have it.
I'm sorry to bother you but I'm trying to do the spider-lady quest.
How do I find a library to research this?
Currently, the only library which works for the quest is the royal library, so you must become a noble and then ask the emperor about gaining access to it. He gives you access if you meet some requirements (either if you are part of his harem, if you completed a specific quest for him before, or if your relationship with him is 5 or more).
I plan to add at least 1 more library in the future where such a research is possible, but for now that's the only one.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!!
Just discovered a glitch where if you're staying at the Golden Leaf before starting the cowgirl path, not only does the dream that warns you against locking yourself into it not trigger, but neither do you automatically go to the farm every morning once you are locked it.
Thanks for letting me know. :)
I'll make the warning dream trigger no matter what (so even sleeping at an inn or on the map will still let players know). I hadn't done so back then, because I had tried to keep all important scenes from triggering outside, but this one should start regardless of where you are. Hopefully there are no awkward scenarios I am forgetting, but I think it should be fine to have the dream trigger wherever.
The visits to the farm were also locked for similar reasons (I was afraid of, say, moving the players on the other side of the map, if they were staying in Rahib for the night), but it's perfectly fine for Golden Leaf, so I'll just add an exception for it. The fix should go live in version 0.991 of the game.
Cool, thanks for the quick response. Love this game, hopefully it gets more fun hypno content in the coming patches.
do you plan to continue jin path
Yes. Actually, we very recently got a poll on what to work after this month's release. The vampire path as well as Jin and Lea are on top of the list now, so that's likely what we are getting for November (or December, if you aren't a patron).
I got this game ages ago, I don't actually remember how long its been, I've been playing it off and on, decided to come back here to see if you were still updating and holy hell am I looking forward to the new content. But I guess I'm gonna be speedrunning through the first few chapters again lol
(also have you added in any more with the hypnotist at the circus?)
Thank you for your work, porn aside, this has genuinely been a fun game to play, the amount of different paths you can take has kept me occupied for hours on end, idk what my total playtime is but its definitely over 25hrs and I haven't even gotten past chapter 3!. Thanks a bunch and I cant wait to see more of your work!
Ha-ha, I wish I had completed the game by now, but hey, I added more content so it's all good. XD
I did add some content for the hypnotist over time, but I wouldn't know exactly how much it was since you last played.
Glad you are enjoying yourself, and yes, do look forward to my future games as well. ^_^
The version I was playing was 0.983b, I did try going back through your logs to see when it came out, but I couldn't find it, one of the first things I noticed with the latest version was you had patched a bug with an event with the fashion designer (Lana?), and added a CG to one of my favourite scenes so I am very grateful.
Oh, also for future updates, is there a way to take save files from older versions? I can't think of a way to do so myself, but I dunno if you've made some sort of system for that purpose.
Also do you have a discord or something? Because I am definitely going to start keeping track of any bugs I find and would love a place to throw them all at you ;)
Now if you will excuse me, I shall go and place some very well deserved money in your money hole ;)
So it must have been around 7 months ago (the version number goes up by 1 every month nowadays, and we are at version 0.990 now).
In theory, if you play from update to update, you can simply copy/paste the save files (you should also copy/paste the "Myproject" folder, as it contains the system options like sound volume, separately from the saves) and you are good to go. The more time passes between the versions you try, however, the higher the chance there might be something which isn't compatible. It's rare that an update breaks compatibility, however, and I usually mention it when it does. Generally, the worst that happens is that old scenes get updated, but you can't see them without restarting, while new content is generally 100% good to go from an old save.
If you check my patreon page, near the bottom there is a link to a post to join the discord. I kept the post for patrons only, since I am not sure I could mod a larger discord, if it ever came to that. You will remain part of the Discord even if you stop being a patron, though.
Thanks for the generosity, I hope you'll enjoy the future updates as well. ^_^
any chance for a wrap up in the near future on the Jin storyline?
You mean in the coming months? Yes, probably. There is a lot to do, but more and more stuff should get wrapped up soon-ish, especially things that aren't too far off from completion.
So far I'm enjoying the game a lot, but I ran into the issue where if you accidentally click too fast while talking to the first town's bar groper, it auto selects beat up and than the entire line is shut down without anyway to undo it as far as I can tell. I hadn't saved for half an hour before that and it single handedly made me close out of the game for the day. If there's going to be an option to permanently remove content from the game, please make it not the default dialog choice. And if that doesn't permanently remove the content form the game, maybe give a hint on how to renew that line in subsequent dialog.
Good to know you are having fun with the game. :)
I can add a script so that there is a short period of time when the choices can't be picked, so it ignores any button pressed as the choice window is opening (I'll give it half a second, should be plenty, without slowing things down too much). Of course, you could still end up picking the wrong choice if you are mashing or if you are distracted, but I think it's better than the alternatives (no matter what's the default choice, some people could be annoyed, if they pressed it by accident, and it's not feasible to add options everywhere to have a second chance).
This script will be introduced in version 0.991.
I wish RPG maker had a "go back" option in dialog like Renpy does, but the brief window should help a bit. Usually it's because when seeing a scene that's a permutation, or copy of, of a previous one, I tend to skim a bit and don't always remember exactly which dialog comes before the prompt. So hopefully a second delay will let me see the option pop up.
Upon revisiting the dialog, I think one other thing that might help is having the input be after the guy says his dialog instead of after the PC says "... ... ..." as the longer dialog window I think helps prevent accidentally hitting the input. Usually the first thing I do when I see a dialog window is hit enter to see the entire dialog right away. But when the dialog is so short, sometimes it all shows up before I hit enter and the enter becomes an input instead.
If it's for repeating scenes, you can safely (and quickly) skip text by holding down the "W" key (this works for unread text as well, so be careful or you might miss important stuff). Since the "W" key doesn't select choices, you can hold it down without fear of picking an option, at least.
I think the "delayed input" I added for the choices should be plenty, but we'll see when you get to try it yourself. :)
Superb work. The exploration in this game is HUGE. And the porn, if I can loosely use that word, is very subtle if you so choose. A grand adventure. Nicely written - all of it.
I would like to add that if you search for, "Caliross" directly in itch.io search, nothing comes up. Could be a keyword missing.
Thanks! Always great to hear from people who like the game! ^_^
Do you mean I should have the keyword "Caliross" in the project's tags? I figured searching for the name would make it show up regardless.
Do other adult games show up in the search?
Yes, MDGP. I mean exactly that. If you go to "http://itch.io" and type out "caliross" in the search you get back:
No results found
If you type instead in the search, "adult" you get back a bunch of games that have nothing to do with "adult" games.
I have previously played and won another erotic RPG (as far as I could as the game is incomplete), "EraHunter."
I was playing "Under Control" which was nice but the difficulty in combat skyrocketed right near the end and even with the whole continent open, it does not seem like I will be able to fight the monsters on the final level in any capacity.
I started playing, "Lust Doll." a bit last night. It is a post-apocalyptic game with very high level of detail to define your character and the most basic of icons for navigation. Deep text and character development. Almost too much porn though. EraHunter and yours so far are the best I have found.
There is Goblin Layer which I have not yet looked at.
Your game also reminds me a bit of "Azure Dreams" for the PS1, a game that promises adventure as well as romance with a few women to choose from.
1. The girl that says she hates you all the time and is very wealthy.
2. A girl that is very sick, homebound, and can barely walk.
3. Your childhood sweetheart.
4. The woman running the items shop. Brash but friendly.
5. The woman running the fortune telling shop. Mysterious and sexy.
Likely there are others.
Having played your game though now for 10-hours now I thought I would track down where it originally came from. And I did. "itch.io"
I previously found your game on the site, "http://fap-nation.com" and it hosts a great number of other porn games. The keyword I used to find yours was "RPGM" which of course means RPG Maker, my favorite type of game style to play in any capacity, porn, humor, horror, and adventure.
Mmmh, the game does show up for me if I search the name, so I'll have to ask others to try it out. Does itch.io have age authentication? Could that be why they don't show you adult games? When I am logged out, I can't find Caliross, so maybe there is something there. As for typing "adult", you have to use tags search for that (if you search "adult", a clickable "adult" button should appear near the top left, and that should take you to the games tagged as such).
In theory, I started out on a few forums and on Patreon for Caliross (my older games were/are completely freeware, instead), but yeah, I didn't submit my own game to fap-nation (good that it was a way for you to find the game, however!). I wonder if I should add a link to the Patreon in the game itself, just to let more people know.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, and for letting me know about the search. I'll have to ask around, and see if others can't see the game if they search for it as well.
In your settings, do you have NSFW content allowed? Maybe that's what kept my game from showing when you search for it (at least, that's how it worked for one of my patrons when he checked it out).
mdgp:
Ah ! That was it. I brought up my settings and found:
I checkmarked it, clicked SAVE, then did a search for "Caliross" again.
This time it came up.
So, yeah from other sites you are going to have to tell your users to:
1. Create an account on itch.io.
2. Click on the far upper right triangle that is to the right of their avatar and alias.
3. Select Settings.
4. Scroll to find, "Show content marked as adult in search & browse."
5. Checkmark that.
6. Select SAVE.
7. Then if they search for it, it will come up.
=IF= you want to use the search feature of itch.io, that is.
If you just want to give them your URL direct:
https://mdqp.itch.io/calirosshttps://mdqp.itch.io/caliross
It will then bring up a prompt asking if you are 18 or older. Saying yes your link will come straight up, no need for creating an account, settings, or checkmark.
As a writer in Writer's Cafe, I have a little over 53,000 readers. But for the book chapters marked ADULT, I barely have 20-readers to each of those. So, yes, tagging your work as adult will definitely decrease the number of people who can access it or search for it in itch.io.
What you might do is compromise. Upload a safe-for-work and incredibly limited demo of your game, "Caliross" and do not mark it as adult so anyone can find it. Have in the game (when the demo is won) a link to the "final" version of it also asking at the end of the game demo if they are 18 or over.
I did this in some of my book chapters. I would post 2-chapters consecutively with the same chapter number and one would be safe-for-work and the other would not be, and my readers could choose which one to read.
Glad this was solved. It was harder for me to realize, because since I make Caliross, itch.io automatically changes my setting to be able to see adult stuff (which makes sense). Generally, I link my page directly, so for people coming from my own links, it should be fine.
I am not sure if I want to make a SFW demo, but I certainly appreciate the suggestion. :)
P.S.
It's MDQP, not MDGP. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
I was really looking forward to this update and have been enjoying it so far. I did have a couple of questions though. After visiting the slums church, I was told to go to a library to research a ritual but no quest indicator popped up. After doing that, I have obtained the info that the ritual for the spider lady only works on a full moon and have attempted to put it to use in the slums church but nothing happens on a full moon. Am I doing something incorrectly? Does it require me to gain access to the royal library? If so, how would I go about it?
You must research about the spider lady in the royal library to progress with that path. To gain access to the library, you must be a noble, and you can ask about it to the emperor when you visit the castle (so, once you go back after you first get nominated as a noble). To convince the emperor, you can either be part of his harem, have a good relationship with him, or have completed the quest related to the smuggled mana crystals.
The ritual that can only happen during the full moon is a different one, so you probably got confused.
I hope to add another "advanced" library soon, so people will be able to complete this quest without having to "suck it up" to the emperor.
the one in zanark?
Yep, that's another one that would be qualified for the research, but I need to add the upper floors and handle the mini-quest to gain access to those (you'd need to find a book that isn't in the library yet as a "gift" to be allowed to go further upstairs).
I think it would be pretty cool if you could hire the clown in tarkas resedential district for the party hard quest the man in that area even says that the clown could easily land a job with a noble
I don't think I want him at the party, but perhaps I could do something more with the character. We'll see if an opportunity comes up.
