There are quite a few, but in general the game tries to let you keep playing (so, being brainwashed into "working" as a cowgirl has you help their faction afterward, for example) and when there is just a bad end, you can generally "rewind" back prior to the loss (although I hope people can point out to me any events I missed).
I don't have a full count of the bad ends, unfortunately.
There is no NG+, but there is a secret character in the game that can reset up to 3 paths, so you can try out some of the mutually exclusive paths. If you make use of this character, make sure to talk to him as well, since he'll give you a bad end if you just use his powers 3 times without making friends. If you need directions, search the "Temple of Spellbinding" in the walkthrough.
Does that cover all paths? I recall when I last played it's incredibly easy to get bottlenecked into one path and I recall some of them result in endings / game overs?
It doesn't cover all paths yet. Currently you can reset the Cowgirl path, Eliza's path (the futanari), and the "ghost possession" path (you can also reset your "slut reputation", an invisible stat, if it goes too high). I should add the vampire path to the reset list pretty soon, as well as the werewolf path (this one will have to wait until the path is finished). With those in, I think we'd cover all the paths that can narrow down players' options.
If you stick to the path, you'll naturally get it. The path starts when you work at the farm. After you hit the first milestone (I believe you must have willpower lower than 85 or something similar), you start getting milked when you go there. Stick with it some more, and you'll progress to automatically going to the farm every morning. Once you reach that stage, your intelligence must get very low (30 or so, although in future releases it might change to 60), and after you have gone a minimum of 2-3 times to the farm, you'll become a fully fledged cow, which includes getting branded.
Some of the quests do unlock as you advance in chapters, yes. The general rule for advancing chapters is completing a Shapeshifter's temple, and then going to your study to update your notes (this is to avoid getting caught off-guard by the start of a new chapter). For the first temple, you must talk to Alpharius, your uncle's friend. In one chapter, there is another objective to take care of, but generally you just need to complete a temple and find a clue for where the next one might be.
Hi! One question, is possible to know lea's parents in the game?? If not it will be possible in the future?? Anyway is a really great game and i'm enjoying it, so thank you!!
I never added them in the game because I felt it could be a little awkward, so I probably won't include them in the future either. Glad you are enjoying the game! ^_^
Well, we might get it, but any post-1.0 content depends on the Patrons. I need to get things wrapped up, but that's only an urgent issue if they think it's time to move on, basically. The game has been in development for a long time, so I wouldn't be surprised if people wanted to call it a day.
Not really. I could have used a script for that, but sadly all the scripts that change the movement binding feel a bit like a makeshift solution, so I decided to keep things as they are.
If you check the walkthrough (linked in the game's folder), you should see what you are looking for with pictures (CTRL+F "The Missing Link" to find the quest there). The map is interactive, so clicking on certain spots will prompt the protagonist to comment. You need to find on the map certain features that were discussed in the mural at the end of the second temple, basically, so you can figure out where in the mountains the temple is.
Whenever I close down the game none of my saves seem to stay for the next time I open the game, instead I have to start over. Does anyone know how I could possibly fix this? Seems like a really good game and I really hope I can fix this!
(Honestly the problem might not even be with this game and I might just be dumb, but this is the only game where I have this problem. I have also tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it, however the issue persist)
The only time I got this issue myself was when a game's folder was set to "read only", so maybe that's the problem there?
Edit: also, make sure it's in a folder you have full access to (sometimes things get funky if the game is in the "programs" folder, or stuff like that).
since your FAQ tells me to drop suggestions in any place you are active in, i do so on this comment board.
while playing the game - which i enjoy extraordinarily! - i got a few kinky ideas to spice up some scenes. sorry if any of these are already implemented, i didn't finish the game yet in its current state.
Golden Cup shift stages: Boob staring patron - titfuck in the back alley of the tavern Rowdy Bunch - gang/blow-bang in the back alley leaving the pc in a puddle of cum & coins
Glory hole booth: i can think of several fitting places for that. for example the middle changing booth at solina beach at night.
Nelson's shop - Solina: a few days after the pc delivered the letters, the receivers could have some of the incense in their houses, reducing INH on entering said buildings or kicking off new repeatable scenes. the guy in the slums could randomly ambush the PC while fast travelling from or into the slums, drugging and raping the pc to be honest, nelson's quest has a lot of potential to become "more", it wouldn't even break the immersion if it got linked to the guard drug den in Tarkas.
just my two cents. your game rocks, keep up the good work and get well soon buddy!
Happy to hear you like the game! Thanks for the suggestions and for wishing me well. I am doing better now, although I am still a little sick. As long as it's not a big obstacle anymore, I can't complain too much. I'll just have to wait until it clears out.
For the boob staring patron, did you get him to drink the shot from between your breasts and then the groping? The scene changes depending on your breast size, so I was wondering. I could consider him for one more scene although I also didn't want the tavern job to be too raunchy, so I'll have to think about it.
Same deal for the rowdy bunch. I am not sure how far I want to push it (also, there is a lot to do in other areas of the game), but it's something to think about.
I don't have a GH in the game, that's true. That's one thing I should probably add, every game seems to have one! XD XD XD
I don't want to link Nelson to already existing scenes, but I could see something extra tied to the incense appearing.
Once again, thanks for the suggestions and the kind words. ^_^
15 (maximum) can be found during Janet's quest (just explore the cave before finishing the quest);
4 can be found in the Temple of the Spellbinding (north-east of Rahib), specifically in the cave below (you need dispel to access 2 of them);
2 can be found south of Cornelius Pass (western exit) in a mountain path. near the center of the map, you can see a small pond, and a rocky protrusion with a tree in front of it. You should be able to see something shining behind the tree, on the wall;
2 more can be found during a mage guild quest which sends you to this same area. You'll get to uncover a cave during this quest with an orc living inside, the crystals are there;
3 can be found in the second temple (F1), there is a secret room (you can access it by using push on a misaligned column);
8 can be found in the third temple (B2), there is an invisible path to a secret room (detect magic reveals where) with the crystals;
5 can be found in the fourth temple (B1), use detect magic near the north-west corner of the map (there should be a single lever nearby). A part of the wall will shine, revealing where a secret room is;
There are more, but you get the idea. You can try to CTRL+F for "mana crystal" in the walkthrough. Even if it's more focused on quests, there should be plenty of locations listed (I generally try to list everything you can find in quest-related areas there).
On a new topic: is there a spell list of the available spells in the game; and how and where to acquire them? Are there more trainers in the game than the Fire Wizard and the guy in the Adventurer's Guild (not counting Carla).
Does using your different combat skills (like Guard) increase them? I rarely use anything but spellcasting.
You aren't doing anything wrong, it's a bug I introduced recently when I updated the map. You'll have to wait the next update for the fix, unfortunately.
Ah, okay; thanks for the clarification -love the game.
And while I understand the reasoning as to why the MC's Willpower and Intelligence decline in such an extreme fashion when following the Zanti path, I always wondered whether it could have been more akin to what the circus hypnotist does: breaking the MC's will with a sort of fixed reduction of her stats. If the MC is bimbofied by Sonya, the INT drop is far more dramatic than what the hypnotist does.
In a nutshell: my MC has the Tease background and Santhora as a deity, leaving her with max WIL of 100, 60 INT -which I jack up to 100 using the hypnotist and the library of the Mage's Guild- and 40 INH. If the Zanti's would simply kidnap her from her home after the first time she has worked at their farn and then inject her with the breast enhancing drug that would make her more susceptible to their hypnosis. If they implant a trigger a la Manchurian Candidate to turn her, they could leave her INT at a 60 MAX just like the Bimbo Trait and do the samae to her INH -also 60 MAX, but with a 20 point reduction because of her starting stat,so it'd be 40/60. Then also leaving her WIL intact, the Zanti's would have a very powerful tool at their beck and call; OR simply make her stats decline as intended for the Zanti path, and if the MC chooses to be their field agent, reset her stats to 60 MAX for both INH and INT, resetting her WIL to her starting stat and adding the BIMBO Trait if she didn't already have it. This way their agent will be powerful enough to get her jobs done and being able to improvise as the situation would require, while still being a loyal Zanti agent.
In short, I really love the Zanti path, but the massive stats drop makes me steer clear of it. So this is me just ramblling about an alternate approach -I fully understand the unfeasibility of it, so no worrries. Just my 2 cents really.
In theory, you can raise your stats back up after you go through the full cowgirl treatment (once you decide to become their field agent, basically). The bimbo trait caps your INT and INH to 60, and I decided to leave that sort of stuff to this one trait (heck, some people aren't happy that the bimbo trait gives a cap). Honestly, I probably wasn't very even in the way I treat stats increase/decrease, I was experimenting with the idea, so I am sure there is plenty of stuff that didn't pan out perfectly.
Have to say I made the wrong assumption that raising your stats after becoming a Zanti agent would break the game; but knowing I can actually do that without any adverse effects, just made my day. Thanks!
In this version, chapter 6 is still in beta, so if you want to check it out, you must use the debug tool ("travel sphere" in the key items). In the debug room, check the south wall, there should be a blue demon you can interact with. Pick "test 1" to start the chapter.
In the patreon version, the chapter is fully released, but you'd have to wait a month for that one to go public.
I can imagine it was incredibly annoying. It's really hard to figure out exactly what's going on, because the vast majority of players seems fine, but I did get a few reports of similar issues. You can try to see if the folder is set to "read-only" and turn that off, if that's the case.
You need 5 votes to get golden leaf and you can get 8 in total
1. Nimedes: You need to have completed the alchemical thirst quest to get his vote.
2. Tiberius: You need to have escaped successfully during the Merchant escort quest.
3. Fredrik: He is at a chess table in the south east room. Play the move H3-H4
4. Kairos: You need to give him a titjob to get his vote.
5. Valentine: Show her the Ritual or Pocket Dimension spell.
6. Rayne: Go to the florist in tarkas and ask for the purple/blue combination
7. De Larek: a) hear about his request then go to duke kito to ask about him then go to Lily and ask her about the dance. Come back to De Larek and dance for him.
b) Go to the queen of hearts VIP area and talk to a masked De Larek and when you talk to him in the castle you can blackmail him.
8. The emperor: Complete the quest Family matters. Getting his vote is mandatory.
For the ritual spell, you need the ritual gemstone from the first temple, then you must find a secret room in the second temple, AFTER you have finished it and unlocked the fish transformation. On the third floor of the temple, there is a lever to flood/unflood a corridor. Flood it and use the fish transformation to swim through it. There should be a new passage open, and that's where the secret room is.
For the pocket dimension, use detect magic in your bedroom in Tarkas. The mirror should shine. Interact with it to find a magic room. Use push on the button while being as close to the door as possible, so you can run inside before the door closes again, to find the book to learn the spell.
Noticed a small inconsistency, during cloak and dagger when playing as Baldur the two noble women near where the Duke tells you stories will treat Baldur as if you are Erica
Oh man, thanks for the report! Sometimes it's easy to miss things like that. You mean the two girls labeled young lady #1 and #2, right?
One of the dialogues is between them, so it's fine to leave as is, but you are right, I should fix the second one to change tune if you are Baldur. Also, sorry for the really late reply, I didn't get notifications from itch.io for a while, and I am still finding old messages here and there. >_<
Edit:
Looking at it, I think I left in a copy of another dialogue in there, that wasn't meant to be used at all in that section. I think I'll give them both the same dialogue that ignores the protagonist, and call it a day.
There seems to be a bug with the harem path because regardless of what I do for the relationship route I can't get the Emperor to choose Erica. I got too annoyed to try flirting with him.
Also how do you "upgrade" Golden Leaf to make the town look better, was this option removed?
It's a bit late (for some reason I never got notified about a bunch of messages), but to win over the Emperor you need to raise both your "flirting score" and your "relationship score", so going all in on the sexiness isn't enough.
I've been having a problem where the game crashes, first when visiting the hypnotist and doing one of his scenes, and now when doing the first fish puzzle in the fourth temple.
The error message reads as follows: Script 'Global Setting Addon' line 394: Errno::EACCES occurred
Permission denied - Myproject\GameSettings\GameOptions.ini
I don't really know what to do here, and I'd appreciate help, if anyone can offer any.
It seems that for whatever reason, whenever I boot up the game, all the folders and files change back to "read only," and the crash just occurs once more.
I really can't think of any other way to fix this, I am sorry to say. You never played other versions of the game, did you? Did you ever try other RPG Maker VX Ace games on the PC you are using? This seems some weird interaction with your PC, since I don't get reports about this issue from others, but it's hard to say for sure what might be causing it.
so when i start up the game, the game freezes for around 45 seconds, then starts acting normal. But when i press any button it freezes again. anyone know how to fix this? Is this just my computer not being able to run the application correctly?
Really sorry for the late reply. Which version of windows are you running? Is it on a laptop? This is the first time I hear a report like this, so I assume it's a problem on your end.
for the pocket dimension spell, you have to use the magic detection spell in your bedroom in Tarkas. at which point, it will reveal that you have to interact with your bedroom mirror, which now will give you the option of entering said mirror. from there, you enter into a mirror dimension where you have to solve a puzzle (just use the push spell on the red button) that will give you an item that will allow you to learn the pocket dimension spell.
Hi I encountered a weird bug, where if I appoint Ariel as the captain of Golden Leaf. From that point on I can't save, and it'll also delete the save file in the slot I try to save.
I tried to load an earlier save, everything is fine...When I appointed her as Captain again, I lost the ability to save again. I tried a few times and it always delete the save file instead.
Then when I progress and talked to Ariel and watched her scene, I can save again.
From this point on, I tried loading an earlier save, and reproduce the bug again...the bug doesn't show up anymore and I can save normally.
Not sure if this weird bug only exist in my computer or does it exist in all new save files. Atm I'm assuming the bug will only appear in new players and not anyone that already pass that scene.
Also really like this game so far, keep up the good work.
Sorry for the really late reply (itch.io must have stopped sending me notifications >_<). If you search the walkthrough for "chapter 1 only", you should be able to find them all: Haunted Woods, Merchant Escort, Alchemical Thirst, Noblesse Oblige.
I am currently in the quest 'The truth is out there' i did research on the two needles and found the mountain, but it wont let me in saying that i should write down everything i learned from the first temple and uncle's study has everything i need to write.
Hello, really love your game so far. Can I ask about pregnancy, what is the difference between the 3 choices at the temple? 1. No pregnancy, 3. absolute pregnancy, 2 is like 50/50? Thanks!
for the ghost you just have to keep sleeping in your bed until you get the exhibitionist trait, at which point you have the choice to keep watching exhibitionist related dreams when you sleep
The "weird pendant" grants you a couple of sex scenes when you nap but only if your slut reputation is sufficiently high
The weird pendant doesn't have much content as of now (although I wrote a new scene for it recently). You can't learn about the false goddess in a library either, at least not yet.
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.

What are the current Bad Ends?
There are quite a few, but in general the game tries to let you keep playing (so, being brainwashed into "working" as a cowgirl has you help their faction afterward, for example) and when there is just a bad end, you can generally "rewind" back prior to the loss (although I hope people can point out to me any events I missed).
I don't have a full count of the bad ends, unfortunately.
Is there going to be a NG+ or a similar feature to easily replay and explore other routes?
There is no NG+, but there is a secret character in the game that can reset up to 3 paths, so you can try out some of the mutually exclusive paths. If you make use of this character, make sure to talk to him as well, since he'll give you a bad end if you just use his powers 3 times without making friends.

How do I get the Zanti Brand? I just started and I looked at the guide, so I’m unsure how to get it.
If you stick to the path, you'll naturally get it. The path starts when you work at the farm. After you hit the first milestone (I believe you must have willpower lower than 85 or something similar), you start getting milked when you go there. Stick with it some more, and you'll progress to automatically going to the farm every morning.

Thank you for the help, I was wondering how I progress to the next chapters? As that unlocks more of the Zanti related quests correct?
Some of the quests do unlock as you advance in chapters, yes. The general rule for advancing chapters is completing a Shapeshifter's temple, and then going to your study to update your notes (this is to avoid getting caught off-guard by the start of a new chapter).

it looks like the magic academy wont be added 😢 its fine tho this game is already huge enoug

is there any way to play this with wasd controls?
Not really. I could have used a script for that, but sadly all the scripts that change the movement binding feel a bit like a makeshift solution, so I decided to keep things as they are.
in chapter 3 i got the map of caliross but how do i find the templ
If you check the walkthrough (linked in the game's folder), you should see what you are looking for with pictures (CTRL+F "The Missing Link" to find the quest there). The map is interactive, so clicking on certain spots will prompt the protagonist to comment. You need to find on the map certain features that were discussed in the mural at the end of the second temple, basically, so you can figure out where in the mountains the temple is.
thanks i get it now

Good to know! ^_^
If anything else happens, feel free to ask.
Oi mate
since your FAQ tells me to drop suggestions in any place you are active in, i do so on this comment board.
while playing the game - which i enjoy extraordinarily! - i got a few kinky ideas to spice up some scenes. sorry if any of these are already implemented, i didn't finish the game yet in its current state.
Golden Cup shift stages:
Boob staring patron - titfuck in the back alley of the tavern
Rowdy Bunch - gang/blow-bang in the back alley leaving the pc in a puddle of cum & coins
Glory hole booth:
i can think of several fitting places for that. for example the middle changing booth at solina beach at night.
Nelson's shop - Solina:
a few days after the pc delivered the letters, the receivers could have some of the incense in their houses, reducing INH on entering said buildings or kicking off new repeatable scenes. the guy in the slums could randomly ambush the PC while fast travelling from or into the slums, drugging and raping the pc
to be honest, nelson's quest has a lot of potential to become "more", it wouldn't even break the immersion if it got linked to the guard drug den in Tarkas.
just my two cents. your game rocks, keep up the good work and get well soon buddy!
Hey there!

Where can i find more Mana crystal's to unlock the bimbo helmet?
Well, there are a lot of places, let's see:
15 (maximum) can be found during Janet's quest (just explore the cave before finishing the quest);
4 can be found in the Temple of the Spellbinding (north-east of Rahib), specifically in the cave below (you need dispel to access 2 of them);
2 can be found south of Cornelius Pass (western exit) in a mountain path. near the center of the map, you can see a small pond, and a rocky protrusion with a tree in front of it. You should be able to see something shining behind the tree, on the wall;
2 more can be found during a mage guild quest which sends you to this same area. You'll get to uncover a cave during this quest with an orc living inside, the crystals are there;
3 can be found in the second temple (F1), there is a secret room (you can access it by using push on a misaligned column);8 can be found in the third temple (B2), there is an invisible path to a secret room (detect magic reveals where) with the crystals;
5 can be found in the fourth temple (B1), use detect magic near the north-west corner of the map (there should be a single lever nearby). A part of the wall will shine, revealing where a secret room is;
There are more, but you get the idea. You can try to CTRL+F for "mana crystal" in the walkthrough. Even if it's more focused on quests, there should be plenty of locations listed (I generally try to list everything you can find in quest-related areas there).
On a new topic: is there a spell list of the available spells in the game; and how and where to acquire them? Are there more trainers in the game than the Fire Wizard and the guy in the Adventurer's Guild (not counting Carla).
Does using your different combat skills (like Guard) increase them? I rarely use anything but spellcasting.
The building next to the pub in Tarkas; after having used Detect Magic, I cannot use Dispel on it -what am I doing wrong?
You aren't doing anything wrong, it's a bug I introduced recently when I updated the map. You'll have to wait the next update for the fix, unfortunately.
Ah, okay; thanks for the clarification -love the game.
And while I understand the reasoning as to why the MC's Willpower and Intelligence decline in such an extreme fashion when following the Zanti path, I always wondered whether it could have been more akin to what the circus hypnotist does: breaking the MC's will with a sort of fixed reduction of her stats. If the MC is bimbofied by Sonya, the INT drop is far more dramatic than what the hypnotist does.
In a nutshell: my MC has the Tease background and Santhora as a deity, leaving her with max WIL of 100, 60 INT -which I jack up to 100 using the hypnotist and the library of the Mage's Guild- and 40 INH. If the Zanti's would simply kidnap her from her home after the first time she has worked at their farn and then inject her with the breast enhancing drug that would make her more susceptible to their hypnosis. If they implant a trigger a la Manchurian Candidate to turn her, they could leave her INT at a 60 MAX just like the Bimbo Trait and do the samae to her INH -also 60 MAX, but with a 20 point reduction because of her starting stat,so it'd be 40/60. Then also leaving her WIL intact, the Zanti's would have a very powerful tool at their beck and call; OR simply make her stats decline as intended for the Zanti path, and if the MC chooses to be their field agent, reset her stats to 60 MAX for both INH and INT, resetting her WIL to her starting stat and adding the BIMBO Trait if she didn't already have it. This way their agent will be powerful enough to get her jobs done and being able to improvise as the situation would require, while still being a loyal Zanti agent.
In short, I really love the Zanti path, but the massive stats drop makes me steer clear of it. So this is me just ramblling about an alternate approach -I fully understand the unfeasibility of it, so no worrries. Just my 2 cents really.
In theory, you can raise your stats back up after you go through the full cowgirl treatment (once you decide to become their field agent, basically). The bimbo trait caps your INT and INH to 60, and I decided to leave that sort of stuff to this one trait (heck, some people aren't happy that the bimbo trait gives a cap). Honestly, I probably wasn't very even in the way I treat stats increase/decrease, I was experimenting with the idea, so I am sure there is plenty of stuff that didn't pan out perfectly.
Have to say I made the wrong assumption that raising your stats after becoming a Zanti agent would break the game; but knowing I can actually do that without any adverse effects, just made my day. Thanks!
ehhmm...How do I start chapter 6? I can't enter the portal
In this version, chapter 6 is still in beta, so if you want to check it out, you must use the debug tool ("travel sphere" in the key items). In the debug room, check the south wall, there should be a blue demon you can interact with. Pick "test 1" to start the chapter.
In the patreon version, the chapter is fully released, but you'd have to wait a month for that one to go public.
My saves are randomly getting deleted. I have many games that run on the same RPG maker that do not do this. Have any clue why?
Mmmh... Is it possible the folder is set to "read only" or something like that? I can't imagine many reasons as to why this would happen, sorry.
Dunno, but my dumbass decided to backpedal to the start menu every time instead of saving to a different slot, meaning I lost hours of time
I can imagine it was incredibly annoying. It's really hard to figure out exactly what's going on, because the vast majority of players seems fine, but I did get a few reports of similar issues. You can try to see if the folder is set to "read-only" and turn that off, if that's the case.
how can i make the emporer and the court to pick me for golden leaf
You need 5 votes to get golden leaf and you can get 8 in total
1. Nimedes: You need to have completed the alchemical thirst quest to get his vote.
2. Tiberius: You need to have escaped successfully during the Merchant escort quest.
3. Fredrik: He is at a chess table in the south east room. Play the move H3-H4
4. Kairos: You need to give him a titjob to get his vote.
5. Valentine: Show her the Ritual or Pocket Dimension spell.
6. Rayne: Go to the florist in tarkas and ask for the purple/blue combination
7. De Larek: a) hear about his request then go to duke kito to ask about him then go to Lily and ask her about the dance. Come back to De Larek and dance for him.
b) Go to the queen of hearts VIP area and talk to a masked De Larek and when you talk to him in the castle you can blackmail him.
8. The emperor: Complete the quest Family matters. Getting his vote is mandatory.
thank you
and how to get ritual or pocket dimension spell?
For the ritual spell, you need the ritual gemstone from the first temple, then you must find a secret room in the second temple, AFTER you have finished it and unlocked the fish transformation. On the third floor of the temple, there is a lever to flood/unflood a corridor. Flood it and use the fish transformation to swim through it. There should be a new passage open, and that's where the secret room is.
For the pocket dimension, use detect magic in your bedroom in Tarkas. The mirror should shine. Interact with it to find a magic room. Use push on the button while being as close to the door as possible, so you can run inside before the door closes again, to find the book to learn the spell.
Noticed a small inconsistency, during cloak and dagger when playing as Baldur the two noble women near where the Duke tells you stories will treat Baldur as if you are Erica
Oh man, thanks for the report! Sometimes it's easy to miss things like that. You mean the two girls labeled young lady #1 and #2, right?
One of the dialogues is between them, so it's fine to leave as is, but you are right, I should fix the second one to change tune if you are Baldur. Also, sorry for the really late reply, I didn't get notifications from itch.io for a while, and I am still finding old messages here and there. >_<
Edit:
Looking at it, I think I left in a copy of another dialogue in there, that wasn't meant to be used at all in that section. I think I'll give them both the same dialogue that ignores the protagonist, and call it a day.
There seems to be a bug with the harem path because regardless of what I do for the relationship route I can't get the Emperor to choose Erica. I got too annoyed to try flirting with him.
Also how do you "upgrade" Golden Leaf to make the town look better, was this option removed?
Talk to your assistent in her room, ask how Golden Leaf is doing. IIRC you may also have to talk to people around town a bit
Thank you :)))
It's a bit late (for some reason I never got notified about a bunch of messages), but to win over the Emperor you need to raise both your "flirting score" and your "relationship score", so going all in on the sexiness isn't enough.
How do you get piercings?
Immediately to the left of the entrance of the city of Tarkas you should find the entrance to the tattoo shop that provides piercings.
Thanks!!
I've been having a problem where the game crashes, first when visiting the hypnotist and doing one of his scenes, and now when doing the first fish puzzle in the fourth temple.
The error message reads as follows:
Script 'Global Setting Addon' line 394: Errno::EACCES occurred
Permission denied - Myproject\GameSettings\GameOptions.ini
I don't really know what to do here, and I'd appreciate help, if anyone can offer any.
Sorry for the late reply (apparently I didn't get a bunch of notifications). Is it possible the folder is set to "read only"?
It was indeed! I changed it off of read only and will test out one of those scenes again. Thank you for the help.
It seems that for whatever reason, whenever I boot up the game, all the folders and files change back to "read only," and the crash just occurs once more.
Let's see... Are you logged in as the adminstrator? Anyway, check this article, perhaps one of these solutions is what you are looking for.
https://thegeekpage.com/folder-keeps-reverting-to-read-only/
P.S.
If you have more than one hard disk, try copy/pasting the game's folder to another hard disk, and see if that changes things for you.
I've tried everything on the list and your own suggestion, and so far none of them have worked.
I really can't think of any other way to fix this, I am sorry to say. You never played other versions of the game, did you? Did you ever try other RPG Maker VX Ace games on the PC you are using? This seems some weird interaction with your PC, since I don't get reports about this issue from others, but it's hard to say for sure what might be causing it.
so when i start up the game, the game freezes for around 45 seconds, then starts acting normal. But when i press any button it freezes again. anyone know how to fix this? Is this just my computer not being able to run the application correctly?
Really sorry for the late reply. Which version of windows are you running? Is it on a laptop? This is the first time I hear a report like this, so I assume it's a problem on your end.
Can someone please help me out and tell me where i find the "pocket dimension" or "ritual spell" spells? Its not in the walktrough for some reason?
for the pocket dimension spell, you have to use the magic detection spell in your bedroom in Tarkas. at which point, it will reveal that you have to interact with your bedroom mirror, which now will give you the option of entering said mirror. from there, you enter into a mirror dimension where you have to solve a puzzle (just use the push spell on the red button) that will give you an item that will allow you to learn the pocket dimension spell.
Hi I encountered a weird bug, where if I appoint Ariel as the captain of Golden Leaf. From that point on I can't save, and it'll also delete the save file in the slot I try to save.
I tried to load an earlier save, everything is fine...When I appointed her as Captain again, I lost the ability to save again. I tried a few times and it always delete the save file instead.
Then when I progress and talked to Ariel and watched her scene, I can save again.
From this point on, I tried loading an earlier save, and reproduce the bug again...the bug doesn't show up anymore and I can save normally.
Not sure if this weird bug only exist in my computer or does it exist in all new save files. Atm I'm assuming the bug will only appear in new players and not anyone that already pass that scene.
Also really like this game so far, keep up the good work.
Quick question, what quests should be completed before progressing to chapter two? I don't want to miss anything. Really enjoying the game
Sorry for the really late reply (itch.io must have stopped sending me notifications >_<). If you search the walkthrough for "chapter 1 only", you should be able to find them all: Haunted Woods, Merchant Escort, Alchemical Thirst, Noblesse Oblige.
Glad you are liking the game. ^_^
How to get under the prison? I'm curious about what's inside.
Are you talking about the one in Tarkas? You can't really get there normally, other than during some events/scenes or specific quests.
Sorry for the really late reply (itch.io must have stopped sending me notifications >_<)
I am currently in the quest 'The truth is out there' i did research on the two needles and found the mountain, but it wont let me in saying that i should write down everything i learned from the first temple and uncle's study has everything i need to write.
Where is uncle's study?
Second story of your house on the bottom left, at the desk
Hello, really love your game so far. Can I ask about pregnancy, what is the difference between the 3 choices at the temple? 1. No pregnancy, 3. absolute pregnancy, 2 is like 50/50? Thanks!
I believe 2 is a 1 in 20 chance
Cheers, time to get laid to test it then
Are there more ways to interact, or scenes? with the Ghost after possessing you?
What dose the "weird pendant" do?
for the ghost you just have to keep sleeping in your bed until you get the exhibitionist trait, at which point you have the choice to keep watching exhibitionist related dreams when you sleep
The "weird pendant" grants you a couple of sex scenes when you nap but only if your slut reputation is sufficiently high
The only scene that i get is from the library. Is that it? or ar the more?
library? for which are you talking about?
When you nap with the pendant.
The only scene i get is from a library.
Is that it? and also where can i find the ancient book to learn more about the false godess that is tied to the pendant?
The weird pendant doesn't have much content as of now (although I wrote a new scene for it recently). You can't learn about the false goddess in a library either, at least not yet.
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.
