Was curious if we were going to get a Gallery to go with next update (0.6) so we don't have to make a save file for every scene we unlock. So far liking what was added for this one content wise.

The gallery is available for patrons and supporters, along with a "cheat menu" to gain ingredients and silver. I'm not sure if there will be a gallery available before the end version (about five updates from now).

Most of the content in this version is sandbox and can be continually replayed. The only one whose content isn't repeatable is Lerran's -- and that content is going to get a revision. I'm not 100% happy with it and it needs to be a longer, more-involved scene.

How do I talk to Berton for the pridefall thread?

How do I talk to Berton for the pridefall thread?

You go to his shop in morning or midday so long as you didn't visit him the day before. Rarely, the wait is two days instead of one.

These are the joys of "sandbox" with choice of relationships, the more you will advance in your game, the more your trigger conditions will be broken according to the choices of each one.

But I agree with you that the hint system is still a mess for some sections.

Yet I'm not a boring player, I take everyone.
The clues for the characters have really improved since the beginning, I haven't had any more problems, although I didn't try to be boring and avoid certain characters.
Besides, in advice, you should put the secondary characters back in the part book on another dedicated page for them, as at the beginning, it's easier to see what it takes to trigger their quests.
The one that I still find chaotic personally is the main story part (Threads)
Sometimes it is clearly indicated sometimes not.
Sometimes we look for how to trigger it, other times it happens all by itself without us knowing it.

By the way, I still have the problem with Katira (goblin) with the quest sequence which begins with the scene in the store where she breaks everything and throws her clothes away (I restarted a game several times and I always had this bug)
On this part, I have already finished the quest 3 times and it repeats itself again.

Anyway, good luck to you, because I really like your game and I can't wait to get to the main storyline and move forward with the relationships!

Yeah, the journal is likely to get another overhaul at some point (maybe during 0.6's development) to see what I can do to make the Threads part a little clearer. It's hard to be creative and also explain what is needed. There's no plan yet as to what it might look like or work like, but it is in the queue to be addressed.

My main aim (other than using this as a learning opportunity for many aspects of development) was to give the player as much agency as feasible. This creates exponential chaos, but it is teaching me how to assemble scenes and adjust how I approach problems.

I'm not sure what the problem with that Katira-breaking-everything repeating. It really shouldn't. The trigger looks like this:

if day >= dayflag_goblin and fulcrum >= 3 and sc_gob == 11:
    jump goblin12

... and at the end of goblin12, there is this:

$ sc_gob = 12

I've tried to recreate the error and nothing seems to make it happen. I'm at a loss.

I'm a big fan of the way it's presented as a book, otherwise I don't know if it's possible to have on one page the story you want to tell about the current quest in RP style and about the back by clicking on it for info on the achievement in the game for example

My sc_gog =15 with the repetition xD

I haven't finished the game yet, but I like it so far. It has its flaws, the one that's bugs me the most is the text font that's sometimes it's hard to read. It's more of a personal opinion. If there was the option to change the font, that would be great.

The variable is just a scene counter. After goblin12, you have sc_gob (score_goblin) of 12. It doesn't go up the more you run one particular scene. With sc_gob 15, I know you've completed up through goblin15.

Game adjustments, especially for accessing locations and information, have always had the same goal: "less clicks".

Thanks for your input. I'm glad you like the game. It's been a heavy learning experience.

There has been some feedback regarding things like fonts. Can you explain which font is difficult to read? More information and feedback makes for better and easier development.

Sure. Mainly the font used on the journal. I get why it was used for the journal, it resembles handwriting, but I found my self having to read the text over and over again to fully understand the directions. Making me think if im just dyslexic.

Checked this out on a whim since I'm a sucker for sandbox games and while the koikatsu scenes can look a bit wonky, the writing holds up the characters so well.
Besides Mist, this is the only other eroge I've found that I'm genuinely interested in the characters and the world due to how it's presented with fantastic pacing.
I love all the tutorial prompts that pop up and ask how we want to proceed with different fetishes that have been included and how the girls react differently to who you've been with.
Biggest issue for me now is just not seeing which day it is as I tab through the journal to see where I can unlock the next scene. Just that little change would help a lot to ease confusion on when I can unlock the next scene for a character, but as the journal will be overhauled I'm not too concerned about it.
I'm genuinely enjoying this game and can't wait to see how it finishes as it also doesn't appear that it's falling into the common trappings of a forever in development hell game on patreon at version .00.1.2.0
Looking forward to more and Genny is best girl

I'm always taking suggestions on how to improve things, especially with menus, screens, and accessibility. Thank you for your kind words. I do appreciate when people put in honest reviews of the game and rate it, as things like reviews bring in other players that can give even more feedback.

I'm a big fan of MIST and while I haven't had the chance to go back and replay it since it's been finished, it's on my list.

Keep watching out. The 0.6 version should be ready in a month or so.

I was really expecting more of a model update too for her parts as well cuz after everything, still looks like a jumbo pencil instead of a quarter pencil down there. Just like I said last time I enjoy the game and the story telling around it but that model is really out of place in my eyes.

If you have an idea of how to do that in KK, let me know. Nothing seemed to work.

I don't play her trans or futa but I'm guessing you're talking about her hardware. The default penis for futas on these Illusion games is big and there's no size slider for girls. I think some devs get around it by making dick shaped accessories instead of an actual dick but if you're just running off the default body parts with koikatsu or HS then your trans or futa girls are gonna be stuck with a massive dick.

There's a slider mod but it adjusts both the length and girth. I have run into some kind of glitch where the slider only adjusts girth instead of length but I can't seem to reproduce it on command. If there's some setting that does this, I can't find it.

Regardless, I'm not a fan of futa/trans with big packages. There are dozens of games out there where this is the "thing," if that's what players are looking for. I'm sorry it's not what I'm into and can't get into.

No i dont use KK so I cant really give specific advice in that regard. I've seen other games that use illusion environments(Honey Select) that have custom mods for genitals so I always assumed that there would be mods for KK in some repository on the internet. Maybe its the difference between koikatu!, koikatsu sunshine, or Koikatsu party but at this point I've seen so many games that use the KK environment, and they can look different from each other in lighting and textures. I see good looking futa character cards on booro.og and other sites too and they have different shapes and sizes so the mods have to exist somewhere right?...

If you are worried about lerran and mc having the same model...well at this point I think the pencil shape is doing a lot more harm than anything else. For example Jasmine looks pretty much the same and that's fine(well the balls look kinda flat in one angle) so why not for Lerran? Ok well I know why, its cuz Jasmine is a "billy" so editing Jasmine is easier than making a futanari character by default. I only have limited experience with HS and it kinda sucked out of the box for specific edits like this. I imagine KK is much the same.

I hope at least some of that helps. Can't be many places better to ask than in the community discord right? They have character cards and mod sharing channels and help channels. They are actively making custom characters too so I would hope so.

Well it's reasonable to expect there would be issues with default models, but like I said above theres so many decent/good looking examples of character cards and in other games, so people have figured it out through the use of mods and custom assets.
