I have a question. Before I go any further, to be clear - I'm not game bashing. I'm just curious about what draws people to this game?

I tried it, and put in a few hours before it was apparent to me that if I played any further I was risking the loss of both eyes. Not from eye strain, but rather the real possibility that I'd grab the sharpest object I could find and stab myself in one and/or both eyes to end my pain ;) Of course I'm exaggerating but this style of game certainly wasn't for me. Here's what I didn't like: extreme grind with little reward for your time, and when you were rewarded the scenes were clunky, dated; a couple grades above pixel art, and with no feeling or life to them. I also found it difficult to know where to go, how to continue some quests, and how some tasks affected others. After I stopped playing the game I did some reading and found that following the walkthrough seems to be essential... wish I'd done that earlier. One of the reasons I played this was due to the high ratings.

So what's the appeal... is it nostalgic; harkening back to the days of Pac-Man, Frogger and Space Invaders - or is it the machine-like grind? I'm genuinely interested in knowing why people are so into this game?
Some people actually want to play a GAME.
And this game actually provides a good level of immersion and options on what your MC can do to numerous characters.

I reject your premise that it is long, or not rewarding. If you want to a quick jerk to gif or video, there are plenty available elsewhere.
Besides, there are cheats available for people who want to access later content/already seen some scenes.

Not everyone has a toddler's limited 5-second attention span.

Goblin Showcase And Vote

This week I've been working on the 3 goblin models and can now present you the results.
In the course of this, I would like to introduce you to the characters and ask you to vote on which of the 3 characters should receive content in the upcoming update that goes beyond an introduction of the characteristics and dialogs of the frame story. But as you will see by their description I will go a step further with this vote and will also shape the story of the goblin tribe to a degree around the outcome of this vote!

View attachment 4189544

1. Ugotha - As queen of the goblin tribe, it was she who was responsible for their situation in the service of the dark elves. There is a rumor among the goblins that she originated from the union of a dark elf with a goblin. It was also she who upset the hierarchy within the tribe by having the former chieftain Snik brought down by a jealous rival. Will she now also draw the MC into her net to take advantage of his appearance?

2. Snikka - Eldest daughter of Ugotha and the former chieftain Snik. After her father was killed, she lost any right of succession to the throne. She was kept small by her mother and at the same time condemned to the role of huntress. Although she is dependent on her mother, who shields her from the greedy eyes of the male goblins, she has never forgiven her for the shame of her existence. Will she accept her fate or overthrow her mother with the help of the MC?

3. Nibblina - Youngest daughter of Ugotha and Snikka's halfsister. Like her father, she is completely subservient to her mother and follows her every instruction, at least on the surface. At the same time, she is aware of her position as heiress and uses this to order other goblins and even her sister around in her favor. While her mother believes she has her under control, she weaves her own web and is already planning her own rise to become queen of the tribe. Will this finally happen with the arrival of the MC?


So much for the presentation, I'm looking forward to the outcome of this vote, which will end next Thursday midnight (ETC)! (Votes on Patreon and Subscribestar will be counted together)

In addition to working on the female models, I also reworked the male goblin skin to match the female version, and I also started collecting and creating assets for the goblin village and the lower levels of the mine. Today I've started working on the maps but that will probably take up into the coming week.
Other goals for the coming week is the work on Bianca's combat sprites and some skills fitting for her character. Her motivation for joining the MC on this quest is, of course, the search for surviving dwarves in the mine.
So other than completing the maps and sprites my goal for the coming week is to also fill the new maps with events and interaction. Since we're in a mine that will also mean new ore which will lead to new equipment. I plan to make the goblins the by now strongest enemies in the game so new gear to fight them properly will be necessary.

That's all for now, I wish you all a nice weekend!
I like them all

Hi guys. Did I get it correct - you can't kill Gurtak when you are on Dasan's route? this option is unavailable for me. And on my other, chief route save, I clearly remember that I killed him.

And therefore, I cant finish quest to revenge my father?

Best way to describe it is... it's an aquired taste.
The different stories have different flavors and even minor characters have a story to tell.
The grind is actually low and very rewardeing once you unlock crafting for the MC.
The game starts you off as the lowest underdog in the village and make you become their sole hope for a better future or even survival.
The scenes aren't high quality vissualy... I'll give you that, though if you followed the Characters lore and story they are pretty much full of live... they even reflect the mental state of the Characters involved.
The game leads you around useing the Questlog and expecting you to interact with any Character you can see in the world, the Walkthrough is meant to help people either pick back up where they left when they last interacted with a Character and their story or to find the conditions for new scenes and / or story progression.
This game is a classic RPG with survival elements which does require more grinding than your avarage Dateing Sim or Sandbox VN, though can be much more rewarding.

Your response started out with constructive information, which was great and could've ended there... but you just couldn't help yourself and decided to end with an insult. What makes it funny is you thought you had to :rolleyes:
You jest by harkening the game to the level of pac-man/space invaders.

But can't handle it the moment someone pokes back with a mild response about your attention span.
It's not even anything spicy, and you are already crying about it. :FacePalm:


Don't start a fire if you can't handle the smoke.

you can kill him with any route. Did you use witchcraft on him?

Didn't there used to be a discord?
is there no way to report bugs without being a subscriber now?
giving penny cumwine is raising MC corruption beyond the max score of 100%

Please, someone informs the dev that after transferring the save folder from 0.5.8 you simply can't save the game in the new version that includes the autosave.

Any recent mention of the Android work? Mentioned the save was fixed and Android would be released along with other releases but haven't seen anything since.

You can reverse it. Buy a potion "Corruption Inhibitor"
at Lucius.
Not her personality, which is just too different from original side. I love the boobs but tiny bit less would have been nice to proportional to her body.
