[image] Not sure why my own house isn't private… No one is one the ground floor… My slave is upstairs… So, can I just not use the milker from the inventory; I have to use it through the morning cutscene, or not at all?
If you don't use it during the cutscene, you can use it in your bedroom later on (unless there is a bug). Maybe I should make the entire house available anyway, I just didn't want players to do it right in front of the slave.
I'm also waiting to get the slave until I can escape from the merchant in that one slave plath… Speaking of which, does being owned by the Zanti family lock that path as well…?
I felt like doing it in front of others, even your slave, would require some boring explanation or something, and I'd like to keep those to a minimum. I would also like to eventually add a scene to take the female slave to the farm, and I feel this would make her suspicious (while I think it makes more sense for the protagonist to hide it unless ordered otherwise).
The mutually exclusive paths are the cowgirl path and the vampire path. Then you have a few quests where your affiliation can change things (for example, if you are a cowgirl, you will lie when asked to investigate the farm), or offer different goals and "partners".
Another couple of examples: if you are a cowgirl, you can be tasked to deliver a letter to one of the invited nobles at the Kairos party, or later on during a quest in an ancient ruin, you get slightly different paths if you are with the vampires, the Zanti, if you have ties with the League of Merchant/Kira or if you are independent (and even then, if you are part of one or both guilds affect some content).
Wait… can you actually progress without being a member of one of the guilds…?
As for doing it in front of your slave requiring a boring explaination; instead of having a region in your bedroom, have a region in the rooms the slave can occupy, (aside from cutscenes where you can't use the menu, I've only seen them in the bedroom) and dissalow the milk machine use in that region. Also do this for other characters that may appear in the house. That way, if there isn't an NPC in the room, you'be able to use the milk machine.
The reason I ask about the merchant slave route is because I was expecting Zanti workers to show up, seeing that I wouldn't be sending them milk or money any more, and would have their glowy tracker tattoo… the whole thing would conflict with itself…
In theory, you can progress without ever being involved in the guilds, but you miss out on a lot of content, and you make things harder for yourself.
This is probably a good enough approach. I'll mark their room as unsuitable and leave the rest of the house available.
The tattoo doesn't let them know where you are (I don't think I ever say that in the game), but like all tattoos it can be use for identifying people (especially since these are magical). If you get sold as a slave, they'd probably count it as a loss and move on. After all, cows are replaceable... :^
[Suggestion] Not sure if you're even reading my comments, mdqp, but here's my suggestion anyway;
A global progression file used for the gallery, so that no matter what save you're playing, you can veiw all the art, even if your current save hasn't seen the scene for it. I'm pretty sure it's possible to lock a given playthrough out of various scenes that unlock images, and if I lose a save file through corruption or it getting deleted, having the gallery still having those images will make it less of a grind to play through, and make it so you don't have to do everything in a single playthrough to fill the gallery; thereby increasing replayability.
If you just want to unlock the images in the gallery quickly, there is a cheat if you use the travel sphere (and talk to the guy in the bottom left corner).
Having said that it might be worth considering having some permanent unlocks. I'll think about it, although I am a little reluctant to add scripts at this stage of the game (they tend to break backward compatibility, although there are ways around it).
Managed to get the RTP but now I've run into a new problem. I've taken the hypnosis lessons that make me desire to show of my breasts\body… yet I'm not shameless enough to show my breasts to the old man breaking into the barn? Not only that, but I hadn't saved in a while, so I just Alt+F4'd and will be doing everything I did the past two days (in-game time) to re-earn money, and then continue doing nothing in the hopes I somehow become more shameless…
Sorry for the really late reply, I am not getting the notifications for some reason. :(
That scene was written before I added the trait, I must have forgotten to update it, thanks for letting me know, I'll fix it for version 0.96.
I made several mistakes with the game (my first time with RPG Maker), I feel like the UI should have given more feedback about stats changes (which would also make it easier for players, testers and myself to track possible bugs). It would also make stats more satisfying and it would make it easier for players to give me suggestions on which scenes should affect the stats and how to balance them.
It may be ideal to have someone that can reverse the effects of the hypnosis and other previously permanent effects.
Not for free, of course. Gold(?), or maybe some form of item, in exchange to undo damages to your character. As it stands, it seems like your family were accidentally sent to hell when they died. There doesn't seem to be any redeemable characters that are of use to the player; except the two slaves.
There's more positive changes that can be reversed than negative ones.
Just my opinion, though. I like the hypnosis results. Just seems a bit cold to give no way to counter it if you decide you don't like it. Tis why I've never done the intelligence hypnosis.
There is a secret to reverse a few of the paths and whatnot, which I could probably extend to traits. Right now, however, it only handles the cowgirl path. It's also meant to have limited uses.
I tend to not sweat this too much, however, since you can save everywhere in the game, so that allows for experimentation to a great extent. I should probably make an effort to start expanding the "rewindable" content (I wanted to wait, because if a path isn't finished, I need to go back and change how I rewind it whenever I add something new).
Having some NPCs be more useful is also something I should work on . There are some candidates for these improvements (Janet the shop owner or your valet in Golden Leaf if you become a noble, to name two, as well as Alpharius and your summons).
This might be way too late (for some reason I am having lots of troubles with email notifications lately), but anyway there is a link to the walkthrough in the installation folder. If that doesn't help let me know, and I'll try to guide you through it. Maybe I'll add some hint you can discover using detect magic, since that part of the temple isn't very inspired.
hey i havent played in months due to technical issues , has anything significant been added in the last couple months , ? i wanna finnish thi incredible story
I don't know which version you played last, so here is a copy of the last few update notes (these don't include bugfixes):
0.92
mini-quest as a nymph/dryad + 1 scene when you complete the task (still not finished);
1 new scene for the modeling job;
vampire quest;
1 new scene for the ponygirl path;
1 random scene for being drunk at the inn;
bath masturbation scene added;
added first "generic" fathers to the pregnancy system (drunk guy from the random event at night, and working at the brothel);
new quest (chapter 3 onward, guy appears nearby your house in Tarkas. LoM/vampires possible meddling, mutually exclusive);
0.91 (CURRENTPUBLICVERSION)
Added small scenes if Catherine has full control over your exhibitionist tendencies;
Added 1 new scene to Catherine's pool of random nightly events;
Added 3 new scenes with Lea;
Added 1 new scene with Jin;
Changed how the first scene for being Sonya's pet works. Now it triggers as soon as you enter the commercial district at night, the day after completing your "training";
New quest for the mage guild (Sap gathering);
Added 2 scenes for the secretary job (post-promotion, one if you are "everyone's secretary" another for being Geralt's personal secretary);
Intro with the new slave owner, Lady Pendleton (requires completion of the "noble party" quest for Kairos, to be available);
You can talk with all the summons now;
improved circus content;
0.90
Added 5 scenes with Ariel;
Added option to hire a new captain for Golden Leaf (Ariel if you progressed enough on her relationship and the guard at GL gate);
Added some consequences in chapter 4 for good/bad administration of Golden Leaf;
Extended pregnancy system to the bathhouse orgy (with related custom ending if you retire), added the option to retire if you have kids by talking to the sister at the institute;
Bathhouse opened for visits while pregnant;
Triplets possible (10% chance);
Added some extra/different dialogue for having the bimbo or masochist or exhibitionist traits during the "slave competition";
Added a proper ending for the slave competition if you "break" your mind by accepting 2 or more times to get help;
1 new scene in the slave path ("celebration" for winning the competition);
Added the piercings you can receive during the slave competition in the game (will probably remain exclusive to the slave path);
Added scene for milking together with cows you helped capture (just Eliza for now, more in the future);
Mini-quest on the slave path (turn the new slave into a GREAT slave, also triggers slave path end when completed);
A new scene for the beachboy (still, only if you are a bimbo);
0.89
added 1 adventurers guild quest in chapter 3 (and onward);
added 1 mage guild quest (needs you to have finished Charles's quest first);
tweaked scene for getting bimbo trait through the hypnotist;
added mailbox to Golden Leaf's mansion;
added 1 scene for Ariel, and removed random chance past the first meeting (she will appear in the barracks afterward, instead);
added talk option with Gaarth (if you use his "spell" outside of combat));
added new scene with Janet if you reach the 20 mana crystals goal (you also get a new weapon);
added new ranks for both guilds (ranking up a second time in the mage guild nets you a special scene);
Nope. It uses the old version of RPG Maker (VX Ace), and that one isn't android compatible. There might be some ways to run RPG Maker games on android, but it's outside of my knowledge.
Hello, I loved the game, I made into the last temple, but while I was doing other paths, I saw in the walkthrough that there you mention a 'Vampire path', but in game i haven't found how to start it. Is it in a patreon build or I may have missed a npc/area?
To get intimate with a certain vampiress, you have to find her at the pub at night (she in the top-right corner). Note, however, that her content is mutually exclusive with the cowgirl path.
There is a also a scene that you might not have seen if you complete a quest in chapter 3, that has some vampire involvement in it. The scene triggers after the quest is over (if you talk to Beatrix), but only if It ends in a way that turns out beneficial for the vampires.
Sorry, I didn't see this message before. If you mean How I got the cursor on the screen to cast spells, it's a bit of a hacked together solution, using some scripting and some eventing.
I found a way to stop events and the camera (as well as limit the character's movement to what's in the camera when I stop it) through scripting. Then I found a way to put a sprite on screen on command (so that we have a "fake" protagonist on the screen), I turned the graphics for the player to the cursor, and I made it so that "flagged" events can still be interacted when I stop events. Then it's just a matter of eventing the rest as normal (you are effectively just controlling the protagonist as normal, and I track which spell is selected with a variable).
Definitely not yet. Thing kept growing just a little beyond what I expected here and there, so it's taking longer than I'd like. Oh well, at least there is more content. XD
ur welcome! yes trully a captivating tale. but i think i reachen the end .cuss i completed the last temple but stil waiting on kendar to finish his project and idk about the royal library.
Yeah, chapter 4 is where the game currently ends. If you check the Patreon page, you can find a link to the changelog there, in case you aren't sure about what I add from update to update.
A proper clothing system isn't going to happen (it's hard to attach it to the game, if you didn't plan for it first). I hope you'll like what I have in store for the game. :)
I couldn't get it to download to the twich client app on my laptop, but I eventually got it downloaded and have played it till there was nothing left to do (version 0.07 I believe.)
Let me just say that i love the story and the premise!! If i had any real money to spend per month I'd gladly support you on Patron!!! Good luck and i look forward to an update soon!
Oh, I didn't know itch.io was linked with the twitch app (glad you managed to download the game, eventually). The game does have a few well hidden secrets and some random events, so hopefully you still have more to see in the game. I am happy you like the game anyway, money or not, I hope it will grow into an even better game, given enough time. :)
I added another link by uploading a copy of the game on itch.io, to confirm if the problem was not having the file hosted on itch.io. Having to upload the file twice might be a bit of a waste, but I share the link even outside of itch.io (in fact, most of my audience comes from elsewhere), so I can't drop the external link.

Isn't the slave bound to obey you…?

I was not expecting to get as attached to Golden Leaf as I ended up getting. I love it so much and I'd die for my county!
XD
Next month we should get some updates for the noble content, so I'll probably add something else to Golden Leaf, hopefully you'll like it as well. ^_^
Managed to get the RTP but now I've run into a new problem.

If that doesn't help let me know, and I'll try to guide you through it. Maybe I'll add some hint you can discover using detect magic, since that part of the temple isn't very inspired.
Where do I get the RMVXA RTP to run the game?

I really wanna play the game ... but my computer fried early this morning lol . U def added alot . Youve been busy . Still my favorite story so far .
Sorry to hear about your pc, I hope you'll be able to get a replacement soon. :(
Glad you like it, though! I hope you'll like how I plan to finish the story as well. ^_^

Sadly, this is an old version of RPG Maker, and as far as I know there isn't a way to make an android version. :(
man im not even done and i cant help but praise the dev for thir oustanding story. flawlessly woven
