In a future update will Lady Pendleton appear on the noble path? Seems like a great way to continue her story and maybe leading to a uniting the lands part.

I don't think I'll be using Lady Pendleton in any major roles in the future. She might appear elsewhere, but she won't be the focus.

Oh well, it seemed like a good question.

Is there a way to change my breast size in game without talking to an NPC? Every time I try to reduce the size, the option is greyed out saying "Reducing breast size is evil."

Also, is there a way to get Jin to use the bell to call you to his room once his route has been completed?

If you don't mind "cheating", you can use the debug tool (in the key items, named "travel sphere"). Go north until you reach the wall, and interact with the third mirror from the right, you should get the option to change your breast size.
This happens because you have the "titty lover" trait, if you are wondering why you can't change your size normally.

Jin's path isn't finished yet, so you don't get any more scenes at the moment, but I'll add something for him eventually.

(1 edit)

Thanks. I was unaware that that mirror actually changed my breast size. I thought that it, like the others, was reverted when you closed its menu.

Since this is a testing room first, and a cheat room second, there are a few things like that. Even the tattoos from that mirror should be permanent, if I remember correctly.

how to get into vampire route?

This one is mutually exclusive with the cowgirl route, so if you progressed enough in that one, you'll need to start a new game (or reset the cowgirl path). If you go to the pub in Tarkas at night, there should be a girl sitting in the north-east corner. Talking to her will start the vampire path (you'll have to visit back more nights, and then she'll start "visiting" your house when you sleep). There is more to it, but these are the basics.

If you take the Beatrice route, does having the vampire touch spell mean you've become a vampire?

No, you don't become a vampire (at least, it's not possible so far), that's just a little bonus you get for sharing a close bond with her.

Oh

What was included in the update?

You can check the changelog here (0.980 is the public version). I should probably add this one to the main page as well.

I can not find Ariel

You can find her in the guards barracks below the hospital after the meeting her during the random events while fast traveling.

i have take fast travelling 30+ times and still not meet her ?

She should appear if you use the fast travel maps during the day (day/night have different random events). The chance is high enough that it shouldn't take that many attempts, is there any chance you already met her and she is at the barracks?

nope have not meet her and she is not in barracks

I'd have to check the save file then. The only way I can think of for her to disappear is to refuse to help her when you meet her, but you never met her, so I have no idea what could cause this. Which areas were you using to fast travel?

There's a glitch that if you wear a bikini, tan until it's night, then talk to the guard without changing, (I've taken the drugs, can't say whether or not it would glitch without) eventually when you wake up at home, from that moment on, you'll be wearing your bikini outside (visually your robes until you use magic on screen). This prevents you from using the Bathhouse, for instance
What's more, if you did this gitch, or turn into a werewolf, while topless, you'll walk around topless

(+1)

Thanks for the report! Without taking the drugs, you should return to the beach, so you would be forced to change the bikini as normal if you try to leave, so the glitch should appear only in the werewolf route. I think I fixed it now, the fix will be part of the 0.981 update.

Hi! Am on .979, but I can't seem to visit the Zanark inn? Also, are there any keys to change pages in the CG Gallery? Am playing on mobile using a RPGVX Player so I can't click on the arrows. Thanks!

What happens when you try to enter the inn? You can't go there at night, but otherwise entering shouldn't be a problem.

The gallery uses the L-R buttons to scroll the gallery (by default, these are Q-W on the keyboard). Hopefully you can rebind the controls and this isn't an issue (I never tried a mobile player, so I am not familiar with how it works).

Says the area isn't available in that version, although I'm pretty sure I am on .979. Just in case, what were the two new harem scenes added in .979? Were they the Anja bath scenes? If so, I'm pretty sure I'm on .979. Thanks for the quick reply btw!

I double-checked quickly with my own copy of 0.979, and the inn is accessible from the start, so I'd guess you should try and re-download the game. Does the folder say "0.979"? All installation folders should be numbered. Also, did you perhaps copy paste the save files from a previous version? Perhaps you copied more than just the save files, and that's causing issues.

Anyway, try a new installation, I am sure it will be fine. :)

Did a fresh install, still isn't working sadly. The file I used was 'Caliross test 0.979.exe' and I only copied the save.rvdata files. Appreciate the help though, maybe I'll just wait for a future update and see if it'll work?

Just one last test you could do. Could you start a new game and go straight to Zanark, and then to the inn? Just to check if there is something weird going on with the save.

I am having an issue on the Eliza questline. I just got through the Party Hard quest and finished the 6th scene with Eliza but the 7th scene never occurred when I tried to trigger it by going downstairs when I woke up. I know I talked to the person who is in charge of mansion upgrades before I went downstairs and I collected money from the chest before going down as well.

Any idea why the 7th scene won't trigger? I am using a free version of the game (0.973a) if that matters.

If you got the dream scene with Eliza (scene 6), there shouldn't be any ways to mess things up. She should appear at the door, maybe you just didn't walk close enough to the exit?

(8 edits)

Thanks for replying so quickly. I walked out the front door of the mansion, came back in and then tried again to see if it would trigger. Was that wrong? Did my having purchased all the things necessary for the Party Hard quest and having completed it before the dream scene prevent her from showing up? I am not a cowgirl and am bound to the vampire lady in the inn in Tarkus.

Was scene 7-9 added after version 0.973a? If so, that might explain the issue and I might just need to download the new version.

Actually you are right, 0.973a didn't have the scene yet, so you should probably update to the latest free version, sorry for not realizing sooner. You should be able to use your old saves, I think, that version wasn't too long ago.

(1 edit) (+1)

Figured as much but I just wanted to make sure I didn't mess something up. The game has been a lot of fun and I have enjoyed it so far. I will let you know if updating to the new version fixes it.

Edit: It worked great. Thanks for your help!

Glad things worked out, and that you enjoy the game! ^_^

It says could not find Directx Audio. How can I fix this?

What's your operating system? Are you on a pc or a laptop?

PC desktop

Also, do you have any speakers or headphones plugged in? I think RPG Maker can refuse to start if you don't have anything plugged in or something similar.

I did have headphones plugged it. I guess I'll later un plug and try again

I tried to unplug my headphones but it still said failed to initialize Directx Audio 

Uhmmm... Do you have this problem with other RPG Maker games? Are you on windows 10 or on some other version?

search in the start menu dxdiag.exe and run it, check all the tabs to see if there are any errors it finds.
Check this thread if you didn't already: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/rmvxa-directx-audio-failed-to-i...
Try the same things the first poster tried, so we can exclude some stuff. Also, if you have another PC available, just test the game there, just in case. Sadly, this usually is a problem with something on your end, so it can be hard to check everything. >_<

Well it magically started working now so all's well I guess.

hey there . i played this game a few years ago then my pc exploded . in gettibg a new pc soon and this games high on mylist to download . if you would be so kind as to give me a brief rundown of new content. if i remember correctly the verson i played ended after you discover eather the dragon form or the imitation form. huge fan one of my fav story its been killing me to not play it lol

If you are curious about the main quest, a new chapter was added after the one where you unlock the dragon form. The last chapter hasn't been added yet, however, as I focused on finishing stuff and adding side content. If you remember which version you were playing, you can check out the changelog, to get a rough idea about which scenes and which quests were added.

(+1)

ok thank you 

At what point does Chapter one end? Will I know it once I reach that point?

Once you complete the first temple, and get the clue about where the second one might be, you have to go to the study in your house to write down your notes, that's when you move to the next chapter (basically, you decide when to).

Just wondering are you going to make a path  where we become dominant over sonya and kira and people like that who try to turn you into puppets or pets (and edith who is just a brat who needs to be taken down a peg) cause honestly that would be nice

(1 edit)

I am thinking about a more balanced path with Kira (one where she is apologetic over her previous behaviour, and you two try to get her out of the League of Merchants) and I am still thinking about some domme content for the protagonist, but I probably won't turn the tables over these characters. A more balanced path with Kira would probably still involve her being submissive in bed, so maybe that counts?

how do you unlock transformations

You unlock the transformations whenever you reach the end of a shapeshifter's temple. To get to the first one, you should sleep at home, and get a visit the next day when you try to leave. You can then go talk to that same person in the mage guild, and among other topics, you'll eventually find the option to ask him to guide you to the first temple.

If you need more help with puzzles and whatnot, there is a link to the walkthrough in the installation folder, that should cover most of the stuff you'll need.

How can I change game window? I don't see any options. I have 1920x1080 and game is in very small window. It's hard to play with 1/3 desktop width and 1/3 desktop height.

If you play around with F5-F6 you should find a better view, but remember that the game is low resolution, so it's going to look pixelated afterward.

says i need vl gothic font how do i do this

You need to install the RTP.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/degica-downloads/RPGVXAce_RTP.zip

The link is also at the bottom of the page, but perhaps I should move it so it's easier to see.

i have the rtp

(2 edits)

Did you download and install the one I linked?

i tried that one too yes

(1 edit)

vl gothic is the default font used by RPG Maker VX Ace, so it is included with the RTP. Did something go wrong when you installed the RTP? Like an antivirus warning or anything else? Did you install it in the default folder, or did you pick a different location? Sadly, nobody else seems to have this problem (when the RTP is installed) so I have no idea what could be causing it.

The only other thing I would try is perhaps making sure the RTP is uninstalled then trying re-installing it.

Turning a New Leaf: I have completed everything,  fixed the mill, opened the mines, Divine(?) GF is the new captain, repaired the lighthouse, Miner is my groundskeeper and the old sailor chose some other person to be my lighthouse keeper. Repaired town and Mansion completely..... but "Build a new lighthouse, and hire someone to man it" is still grayed out, as if it wasn't completed. As such No town expansion quest pops up...and consequently no party :( Is there something I'm missing? I gave Eliza the boot, if that makes a difference. Also, I think the increased "Assets" from "Tree Sap Trap" are still in effect after you get sent back to just before you talked to the Dryad. Can't think of any other reason I have F+ breasts and a Huge Ass, when it was DD and Bubble before.

First of all. are you using the walkthrough? Just wondering if there is some incorrect information there or not

There was a minor issue with the old sailor not updating the quest log properly when hired, but it should be fixed now (can't remember if it's fixed for the public version or not, however). Regardless of the questlog, the rest of the game should still work correctly.

Are you in chapter 4? That's one of the requirements to get the offer to expand the city when talking to Keiko (in fact, that's pretty much the only requirement to get the offer).

You are completely right about the Dryad situation. I had completely forgotten to track the sizes, because originally I wasn't planning for a way to go back at the start of the path, sorry about that. This will be fixed, but it might take a couple of months to show up in the public version, since it will have to go through the patreon version next month, and then go public the month after that (unless a hotfix is needed for some big bugs, then this would show up in the public version next month).

(3 edits)

I have been using the walkthrough, yes. I was on chapter 3 when I made that post, so that's why it never activated, but I got the Mage guild quest to infiltrate another party, in chapter 3 and it mentioned dude....(can't remember his name..*lol) and an interaction if you can remember his name, from your own party...which I guess can't happen till chapter 4, as I found out later last night...So I guess I got that Guild quest a bit early for it.

Walkthrough has been helpful, it is missing some small things. an Item that can be gotten, or small fluff events, but today I just went through an event that wasn't mentioned at all, The Beach Party at Solina...and Red Moon, as an Alternate method of heading down a particular path. As Ms. Lake likes to say, "I wasn't expecting this to happen..." but now she is down this path, curiosity will be my downfall...

Is there something to this Weird pendant I found outside my house, other then strange dreams when I nap? (at least i think its the pendant giving me those dreams...) Walkthough doesn't mention much about it other than its location.

Yeah, it is possible to get the other quest before (I wonder if I should change that). Was the reference from the walkthrough as well?

Yeah, the new event in Solina beach got added recently, I still haven't updated that part of the walkthrough. I was hoping this wouldn't be surprising, however, but I guess I didn't give enough hints.

The weird pendant also reduces your inhibitions by 10 when you wear it, but right now it doesn't have any other effects. At one point I was thinking of tying it to the vampire in the hospital, but plans changed since then, so now I am not 100% sure of what I'll do with it.

the reference to Count Nocher, yeah its listed under  "cloak and dagger" under the paragraph that starts off as "If you AREN’T playing as Baldur, and you are a noble..." 

If it's just in the walkthrough, then it's not a problem (after all, you can't avoid some spoilers here and there). It would be troublesome if it was in-game, however.

Once you gain your Noble title, the Emperor hands you your Badge of office and the "Key's Mansion". I think you meant "Mansion's key" or "Key to the Mansion". Pardon if this was already fixed in the latest patreon update.

Nobody had reported that so far, thanks for letting me know. ^_^

So, as far as I can tell, the walkthrough only tells you the steps to complete each quest, not what happens in it or what completing it gets you. So I have no idea how to become a werewolf, become a noble, or how to fall under Zanti's influence. Can I get some help with that?

That's not entirely right. You should generally get a reference about what you get as a reward (generally near the end). If you CTRL+F through the walkthrough "noble " (with an empty space at the end to eliminate words like "nobleman" from the results) or "cowgirl", you'll quickly find references to these paths within the quests.

The problem comes when there isn't a specific quest associated with certain paths. Generally, there is a section at the end of the walkthrough where you can see a list of interactions and secrets which are outside of quests. While it might be incomplete in parts, it does reference most of the points of interest scattered around. I am still in the process of updating the walkthrough, so hopefully it will cover everything in the future.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I was wondering if there were more more scenes to the forced Sonya line after you get to the under-the-desk scene. I'd gotten to that point, but after which every single time I got fogged back to the club, that same scene was the only one that played. Perhaps there's a flag or some prerequisite I have to achieve in order to progress further? Or are there simply no other scenes at the current moment. Thanks, again, if you can answer this!

Check this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f0zrbkwhbdpQM3yu0m2DFV5peZyFgTKYYtURIkp5D_I/...

Is there a way to remove traits ? :) 


I know that you can cheat and use https://www.saveeditonline.com/ to modify variable values, but it only worked for removing Masochism trait. I found out that it is Variable#178. 

I saved and loaded right before and after getting traits at hypnotist. I noticed that variables 1,2,119 change values, so I hoped that they would be related to other traits, but nope :p 

Variable 119 seems to be linked to exhibitionism, but I think that even reducing its value does not remove the trait. 

As for variables 1 and 2, their values are weird.


I know that I am asking about how to cheat :p but could mdqp explain why editing save did not work for "titty lover" and "exhibitionist"?


I am asking because I thought that these traits would unlock more content, but apparently, they mostly block choices kinda like a curse :/

Currently, there is no way to remove a trait, and I don't think I will allow it in-game (the way I coded certain events, the game assumes you have a trait at certain points).

Titty lover and exhibitionist are tracked with switches in the game (switch 98 and 126, respectively). I don't know how these appear in a cheat engine, but they are true/false toggles, essentially (to be inactive, they must be set to false).

Traits can force your hand at times, but they also make certain scenes longer (and possibly sexier) or unlock certain encounters/events (if you don't have the masochist trait, you flat out can't do anything with a certain NPC in Rahib, to name one thing).

A few paths presume you still have the traits even if you turn them off, if you were supposed to gain the trait in that path, so don't be surprised if that happens (Sonya, most notably).

If you want to cheat, the best way is probably to use RPG Maker unlocker and get a copy of RPG Maker VX Ace. You can change variables and switches during test mode by simply pressing F9 (to get a full list), plus you'd be able to tweak/modify anything in the game, if you put in the effort (the game is quite messy on the developer end, so it might be troublesome to navigate).

(1 edit)

Ok. Thanks for the answer. Indeed, for some reason variables 98 and 126 are not present in the savefile when edited with the tool I mentioned.


Well, I guess I will continue playing with traits and see what happens. I can always replay the game in the future when more content comes out :)

Would it be a spoiler to share if some bad consequences can happen because of traits? :)

For example, if you can become a slave (actual slave at Rahib market) or get bad results for quests? Or even worse, not be allowed to do some quests (for example, if nobles no longer respect you if you are a Masochist)

Actually, I can check Walkthrough. No need to bother you, sorry :)

As long as you are having fun, it's all good. Something I forgot to mention: if you use the debug tool (called travel sphere, in the key items), there is a way to turn on/off traits. It might cause a few issues, as I mentioned, but if you really want to, that's how you could do it. You should interact with the ghost near the south-west corner. The debug tool can break the game if you are not careful, so make sure to save before you touch anything there. XD

Ok. Thanks :)

I knew about Travel Sphere, but missed the ghost apparently. 

I might use it one day, but for now I will keep playing without cheating.

Thanks again :)

^_^

Hi may i know what stage is game development at as of now?

It's hard to give a precise percentage, but probably between 85-90%. I am still considering adding/cutting things here and there, so there is that as well.

Deleted 137 days ago

Hello, can anyone help me, i wanna know how to get the "traits" for Erica. I know about the circus way, but from what i noticed with "titty lover" and "exhibitionist" there might be some alternative way to get "bimbo", "masochist" and "bixexual" traits? cause using hypnotist when theres alternative feels like cheating.

(+1)

You can get the masochist trait if you get involved in certain scenes for enough times. The fastest one is a scene in the VIP area of the Queen of Hearts (a guest there can "teach" you a thing or two). There is currently only one way to get the pass: when you work as a bodyguard during a quest for the adventurers guild, you can find a tiger a noble keeps as a pet. Distracting it with some food will let you pick up the pass. There will be another way in version 0.976 (you'll be able to get the pass at the model job, as long as you are past chapter 1)

The other way is getting spanked at the secretary job (but that is slow, and hard to grind). I need to add more scenes which raise the stat, but for now that's it. The hypnosis is much faster! XD

For the bimbo trait, you must get involved with Sonya, the owner of the Queen of Hearts, but you must not have marintas charm with you, or you start her alternative path and won't get the trait. Again, I should probably add more ways to get the trait, but this is it.

There is no "bisexual" trait, being worried about your sexuality with the hypnotist just gives you the titty lover trait (since the protagonist is already bisexual XD).

I see, thank you a lot for a quick and informative answer. This is game is truly one of the best i've played with so much content, and its even more incredible that it's free. :O When i get my job back i'll make sure to support you on patreon <3 Best wishes.

Really happy to hear you like it this much! ^_^

I used to do this as a hobby, and my previous games were all completely free. Needing the money, I opened up the Patreon, and luckily things worked out well. It would have felt weird to try and lock the game completely behind a paywall, so I decided to use the current system. Plus, I feel like on the internet it's better to rely on the goodwill of others, since everyone could pirate the game, if they wanted to.

I hope you'll get your job back soon, whether you become my patron or not! :)

hi in the walkthrough of the third temple it said that to resolve the strawmen puzzle i have to burn it but i cant get 4 of them on fire at same time because the aiming is too slow how im i supose to do it

You can hold down shift to run (like when you control the main character), that should be enough to deal with it.

Statue puzzle Help!!

The cat must fear the wolf. The wolf the wolf can’t survive the poisonous snake. And the snake can’t hide from the majestic eagle. Shapeshifter's can rise above natures cycle learn from it and the future will be yours.

I very recently updated the walkthrough, so it should be easier to find. Anyway, to solve the puzzle, you need to interact with the statues in the 3-2-4-1 order.

is ther a walktru or

full screen mode ?

You can play around with the F5 and F6 keys to go fullscreen, but mind you, the game has a low resolution, so it's going to look pixellated.

There is a walkthrough, you can find a link to it inside the game's folder. The walkthrough has almost all the quests in it, but the other areas are a bit out of date.

thank it helpt

fyi do you have a discod server

peaple could help eachother

or even give sugestions

I do have a discord. For now, it's only open to Patreon supporters (it's still fairly new), but I'll ask if they'd prefer it to be public. The game has threads on a lot of forums, if you need help and you can't find any answers in the walkthrough. :)

(+1)

ok thanks

well i don't know if the creator will see this comment but here is some of my though, there's some part that i like and there's some part that i don't like, overall i like it, i wish you have a great time making this don't work to hard and KEEP MAKING THE GAME STUPID BITCH!!!

Thanks for the encouragement, I guess? XD

The plan is to continue working on the game until it's finished, so there is still a decent amount of work to do. ^_^

What's the latest patreon version?

That would be 0.974a

(+2)

I wish I had know this was on this site. That's what I get for not reading the full about section on you Patreon I guess.I've wanted to say this for a long time now. Been following this game for maybe a few years on and off. Even through some money at the Patreon a few times. Would have done that more but I am a broke guy. I don't know what your plans are for this once you finish it but I'm glad it's been free to play for so long. It's honestly hard to find quality games like this with stuff I'm interested in and good art. Props to all the work you put in on this. If this does eventually have a price on it I'll most definitely do what I can to buy the full thing. Love this game.

(+3)

Glad you liked the game so far!

The game will always be free (it wouldn't sit right with me to put a price tag on it, after receiving support for years on Patreon). If you ever find yourself with more money to throw around, and you still want to support me, I wouldn't say no, of course. XD
Just make sure you have plenty to spare, mine isn't the kind of project which should be a high priority for anyone, and like most Patreon projects, it's terrible value for your money.


Is there a list of controls?

Some of the "special" controls are listed in the tutorial, but the basic ones common to all RPG Maker games aren't. Anyway, arrow keys for normal movement, SHIFT to run ESC to open/close the in-game menu, ENTER to interact/select. Q brings up the quest log, and W opens the spell menu. CTRL hides/unhides the textbox, W is used during dialogues to speed up the text.

I think this covers everything. Note that there are some extra buttons which have the same functions (for example, X is the same as using ESC).

Thanks

Is there a way to put it on fullscreen? Just downloaded the game and ran it. Theres no settings and double clicking the white frame doesnt change the scale of the screen.

Fixed it by changing value of fullscreen from 0 to 1 in the Game.ini file.

(1 edit)

If you need to change the way it displays, you can play around with the F5-F6 keys. :)

(1 edit)

Does 0.97.2a have the lag taken care of?

Not really, sadly. I tried looking into anti-lag scripts, but the one I tried was quickly shown to be game-breaking. I did find another one, but I wasn't convinced by it either (although it did not cause the same bugs).

The lag is also hard to get rid of, since it happens because of a combination of hardware used, RPG Maker being not very optimized and certain implementation I used for mechanics (on most PCs, the lag isn't there, pretty much). I'll try to look if I can shave off some workload on my part, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that.

Windows defender doesnt allow me to run the game

When you try to install the game, the windows defender dialogue box should have a clickable "more info", or something along those lines. Clicking on it should also give you the option to allow the installation. It seems to be a problem with RPG Maker VX Ace, although not everyone seems to have the problem (no idea why).

(+1)

Just want to say I love the game!

^_^

Deleted 3 years ago

Hey there! Good to know you are enjoying the game. ^_^

1. A small chest should have appeared on the desk after you hit the statue, you can get a charm from it.

2. Did you delete them completely, or are they still in the trash bin? You can restore any file still in the trash bin (right clicking any files there should show the option, and you can even restore all files in the bin if you right click the bin itself). If you deleted them completely, you might try to check the properties of the folder the games were in, and see if any previous versions are available (but you must be careful if you changed anything else, as this might restore unwanted changes as well, assuming there is even an option available). One final solution might be trying to use a program like recuva, but the sooner you do that, the better, since your computer starts overwriting the data once it thinks you don't need it anymore.

Because it was 71gb it got demolished instead of going to the trash bin. Thank you, will try recuva or something similar because looking for the previous version of the folder almost never works for me :D

i tried the new version and it says check for viruses and reinstall everytime.

(1 edit)

Is that a problem with other RPG Maker games, or just with mine? It might be an overzealous anti-virus is marking the .exe file as dangerous. I don't think I changed anything significant from version to version, so I don't see why it should give warnings now. You can try downloading it from here, if it makes a difference (but I doubt it):

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1k_d9lXtJJH1poDnPwKOzp0d1U9CC0FrX

I would either disable the antivirus temporarily or exclude the file from scans, if you really want to play, but that's only if you trust this random developer you don't know personally. XD

(+1)

i trust that you make great porn my guy, as a man that's all i need. XD

oh yeah it also says the file is corrupted

I downloaded the files and installed the game just to make sure, so at least the problem shouldn't be with the uploaded files (windows defender did warn me because of the "unknown origins" of the file, but there is the option to install the game anyway afterward).

If the antivirus is flagging the game, it could also corrupt the download, so make sure to disable it before you start the download, install the game, and only then re-enable the antivirus.

(+1)

Hey great game, one of the best ones on here, i love the vampire stuff too. keep up the great work pal. :D

Thanks! ^_^

You're response will likely be "No, I'm not doing that."… but I'm going to take the shot anyway…
How much would it cost to have my original character\persona added to the game…?

We can discuss it privately (maybe on discord?) if you're not open about this type of thing.

Totally understand if you don't want to do that type of thing, as it usually turns out to be far more trouble than it's worth.
I don't expect the character to be added any time soon if you do have conditions to add OCs\personas; I also plan to get art done that matches the style of your existing art so you don't pay for the art of my character, etcetera.
-------------------------
On a different note, if there's anything I can do to help you with the game, whether you're adding my character or not, feel free to let me know. I tend to have far too much time while I wait for assets for my own project to come in, and I wouldn't mind helping with development on this game, even if I'm not paid.

Well, I'd need to know what you have in mind exactly, before commenting on it. I allow patrons that go for the 25$ tier to suggest one scene, for example, so I am not against all input, but I keep my right to veto stuff (as an example, I don't like vore or anything of the sort, so I don't want that in the game).

It would be similar for adding a character. I'd need to know what the character would look like, what's their concept and what would they do, and how much presence do you expect them to have in the game. If it's just a minor NPC with one scene, as long as the character looks good I wouldn't be troubled, but I might have to reject a big undertaking at this point in time (as I get closer to finishing the game, I have to focus more on the "to-do" list, rather than on adding new stuff).

As for helping, I currently have enough testers, but if you have more suggestions as you play through the game, share them with me. I can't make promises I'll work on all suggestions (some things can take too much time or I might simply disagree on what's best for the game), but I try to hear anyone who's interested in improving the game.

My character would be a minor character, with a few lines here and there I suppose.

Basically, they'd either be set up to appear in a cutscene that can occur at random (like the drunk in Tarkus), but at any point in the story - and the scene would only occur once. If the player is owned by Zanti, she'd appear in the farming area of Tarkus. If the player is free, they'd appear in Tarkus proper during fast travel. She won't appear in the building of the merchant that buys you as a slave - but if while owned you can travel beyond the house in a future update, she could appear in that local area. And so on.

Regardless of where the event takes place, my character asks the player where she can find their leader. The player then would direct my character to the castle, the Zanti farm, or the merchant's house, etcetera depending on such.

If they don't belong to Zanti, my character is not encountered afterwards - but if my character is sent to the Zanti farm, she will appear as a cow in one of the currently empty stalls, with "moo~♡…" as the only dialogue.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can fill you in on her appearance if you feel like adding her. I understand if you don't though.

(+1)

I think I'd be fine with that, it just seems minor enough that it would look out of place if she got custom art. I'd personally just limit it to the zanti content, like her asking you where the farm is and mentioning looking for a job, with an image of her being milked for later, to make the whole thing more consistent.

I'd still have to ask you to either donate 25$ or join that tier on patreon, since it wouldn't be fair to the others who donated to get something specific added to the game. I'd understand if you weren't looking forward to spending that money on top of commissioning the art (not that any of this is mandatory).

What would she look like, and do you have a name in mind?

If you just want me to name this NPC how you want, and that's it, I can do that, no need for donations. It seems like a little scene that would fit the cowgirl path anyway.

Oh, I had assumed there'd be a cost anyway; I did open by asking how much it would cost.

I'll see about getting the art and funds. My memory is terrible, so I may need to be poked to be reminded. Hopefully I'll have the money around Christmas. (My family celebrates it, and sometimes instead of getting gifts, I just get money.)

Sadly, I don't have a Job, so money income is rather slow. I will try to get art that matches the current art in your game.

--------------------

As for her appearance; she's a fairly young-looking woman, with pale skin, ankle-length white hair, and red eyes. This is because she is albino.

I will attempt to get sprites made for her aswell, both for the initial encounter and the milking sprite.

Would the Zanti cut her hair after acquiring her?

----------------------------

Aside from the above topics, I'd like to discuss finer details privately, if at all possible.

(+1)

It's your money, so you are free to do what you want with it, but I'd recommend being careful, if you don't have too much of it. Art can be quite expensive, and there is a lot you can buy with that money. An adult game is hardly very important in the grand scheme of things.

Take your time, it's not like work will start before I get the money and the art anyway, so there is no rush.

Since the art will have to be in my game, I'd like to get a look as the sketches get made (it would be bad if you spent money and then we found out I don't like it and don't want it in the game). Unless you want me to put you in contact with my artist (that way we'd know for sure the art would be similar, although that would depend on whether he is available for commissions or not).

I don't think the Zanti would care about cutting her hair.

What kind of details would there be left to discuss? What's your preferred way of communication?

So, I have to restart the game from the begining to complete all the quests, as the Haunted Woods is an automatic failure after becoming a Zanti Cow…
What a waste of several hours, if not days, of gameplay…

Well, the quest fails, but you get some different consequences (the forest changes, spawning slimes, the lumberjacks leave as well), and it benefits the Zanti family (it damages the business interests of their rivals, the League of Merchants), so it's not all doom and gloom.

It is for me…

I very much dislike seeing anything marked as failure… I deleted that save file, and am looking for guides that can tell me what quests to avoid so I don't fail any quests I accept…

(+1)

There is only a handful of quests which fail, and usually it's only because you didn't finish them before going to the following chapter.

Maybe I can change the quest to be marked as a success if you don't complete it because you are a cowgirl, but the consequences would be the same (and it would be odd to mark it as a success, since you can't reap the rewards from the guild).

I've never made it to chapter 2.

I'm thinking that instead of "in progress", "success" , and "failure" you replace "success" with "completed" and "failure" with "incomplete".

This way, if you don't finish a quest before passing to a chapter where you no longer have a means to finish it, it gets marked "incomplete", meaning you're no longer in the progress of doing the quest, but it was never finished.

But even if you 'fail' the quest, so long as it has been resolved, it has been "completed"; you've seen the quest to it's end.

Does that make sense…?

(+1)

It does make sense, but I feel like the current system is slightly more informative and changing it for an edge-case scenario is probably not worth it. I'll think some more about the quest, just in case I can think of a simple solution.
