RPGM Grolokk [v0.65] [gacorman70]

How to get
Kara to go to the Temple for the key?

You have to get Kara's Obedience Stats up high enough where she'll do it.

The stats/harem system is still very much a work in progress. One of the things I'm hoping to implement in a future release is some kind of feedback on the stats and what you need when a stats-check fails.

Also, more ways to increase stats, such as Harem girl trainers dotted across the landscape.

In the current release, you can drive up stats like Kara's obedience by playing through the game world (many achievements just by completeing quests also increase stats) and finding and collecting certain treasures, which also will increase very stats. Some are items that increase stats across the board, others are one off gift that buff a single harem girl stat.

waiting for 1 yr still didt get any updates about the development

I apologize for that, the first half of 2022 was kind of rough. I had some real life obligations that soaked up a considerable amount of my free time. Couple with the "dumb day job" just didn't give me as much time as I would have liked to work on tiddy-games.

Thankfully those obligations have been completed, and I've been able to invest a lot more time into Grolokk, so we're getting close to the next release. I've had to delay it from July. It being so long since the last release was kicked out, I wanted to make sure the next one had ample content, and maaaay have bit off a bit more than I should have for new assets in the next release. But I'm shooting to have it out in August.

I think RPGM is the biggest reason for his lack of support on this. When the vast majority of RPGM games are so stunningly bad - basically VNs with arbitrary extra steps that should've been in Ren'Py - most people have just learned to avoid RPGM games in general. This game actually fits and utilizes RPGM well (though it's still a crappy engine from a player perspective) and breaks the mold of a shit RPGM game. But not enough people will give it a chance due to the engine. Basically, a well-deserved following ruined based on bad engine reputation. Not that I see engine alternatives for this dev that aren't too time consuming or cost prohibitive though. The game does need the RPGM abilities that Ren'Py can't provide and switching to Unity or Unreal or something would take way too much time and/or dev programming skill. Hopefully he can get more potential users past the bad rep of RPGM to actually give the game a shot despite the engine, since it's well worth it.

RPGM for what it is, is great. With a little creativity, a dev can do some really cool stuff! Not me, mind you, I'm a caveman that can kinda draw titties. But I've seen some people do some really cool stuff with it.

But I think you are right with the whole Stigma behind it.

The follow up project to Grolokk will likely NOT be on RPGmaker, but it will take some investment in learning a new platform. Unity was an option, but I've heard some disparaging news about it lately. Unreal is certainly powerful, but too powerful for my needs? I've been taking a look at Godot as well.

But all this is still a little down the road.

 

[gacorman70]

Garco I really like your artstyle, how long did it took for you to achieve it?

Learn how to draw in general? Or how long does it take to, for example, finish a single CG?

 

[gacorman70]

How can I finish this quest? and I've 14 supplies, how can I found supplies?

You cannot in the current release. This is the main, overall quest for this whole chapter, so even in the next release, it will not be complete-able.

 

[gacorman70]

I saw a black character in a photo. will there be other black characters? possible ?

Yes! One of the concept I had for the character Myradonna was a black woman (probably the artwork you saw). The design didn't make the patreon vote, but I liked it a lot and plan to use it for another character.

 

[gacorman70]

any news on next update?

It was supposed to be July, I bit off more than I can chew, so I had to push it back. Planning on having it out in August.

 

[locoraptus_69]

Learn how to draw in general? Or how long does it take to, for example, finish a single CG?

Yes, how long have you been drawing or at least taking it seriously to be able to draw like you do today?

Gotta think about this one for a moment.
I did like to draw and doodle quite a bit growing up. I also took some art classes in high school and college, but I'm not an artist by trade and hadn't really drawn anything since then until I started to make tiddy games. It's especially apparent on some of the early artwork on Grolokk.

I've been working on Grolokk for over two years. Inbetween making actual content for the game, I've watched quite a few drawing tutorials on youtube. Practicing fundamentals, like perspective, figure drawing, color theory, etc. I try (often unsuccessfully) to draw in a sketchbook at least once a day.
Shooting from the hip (a rough guess), I'd say between two to three thousand hours of practice, lessons, and creating content to get where I am now.

Well, you're doing a fantastic job. Your style is some of the best I've seen in a "tiddy" game, and well suited for it.

If you take a suggestion on the next engine, find something with a very good save system. Most people dont like RPGM because its quite old timer when it comes to saves. Most unity projects are annoying for the same reason, you cant save any time and they dont autosave like renpy does.

Thank you so much for the answer.
By any chance do you know how to increase Kara's Obedience high enough before the Temple event, i can increase her Obedience to be high enough with an item but i can only achieve it after the Temple event

You can see the images in the game's folder! www>img>pictures.

But ofc course I only recommend doing that AFTER you've played through the release, since the story is really good and actually adds to the fun unlike most other porn games.

Whats up, Brother AngelLoves! This game will be released in updates or chapters, and and will not be complete for some time.

 

[gacorman70]

Thank you so much for the answer.

There are several items you can collect and use to raise the overall obedience with all your harem girls, as well as gifting girls individual items to raise their obedience. Also, going through the game and commiting infamous acts, like completeing the bridge quest, and becoming a more notorious outlaw will raise overall obedience from all Harem girls. While somethign as simple as increasing the total amount of gold you have, raises their "gold-diggery".

The Harem system stat management is still something I'm working on tweaking and adjusting, so bear with me. Its all still very much in the WIP phase. You can however get Kara's Obedience up high enough to send her to the Temple.
