HTML Bonds Defiled [v0.7AA public] [Bonds Defiled]

The NTR filter is character specific, not content specific. So regardless of whether you go for Seryk NTR or not, you will still be asked about NTR with other characters like Thalor, Sora, Nimeria, Mariel and Serin. Saying no to one does not lock you out of all similar content elsewhere.

If you go for Seryk NTR specifically, Liora will still remain together with the MC and continue to have normal romantic and sexual content with him. What changes is that, initially, things with Seryk happen behind the MC’s back. Later on, you will get choices that determine how this develops. You can keep it as NTR behind your back, move toward a more open dynamic, allow sharing with all three together, or decide to break up.

A vixen style path is planned as well.

So good! Thanks. Will it be possible to get Liora's approval for the MC to have sex with others as well?

If I may dare one more question, is there/will there be a second on-ramp to the sharing part of Seryk NTR, stemming from MC's corruption (or from the MC's dynamics with Seryk on a bisexual path)? Not instead of what there is - I know a lot of people prefer it that way. Just an alternative path to specific content (consensual, non-submissive sharing) that doesn't require you to make bad decisions and make your character more flawed just for the sake of getting to that content. And without letting Seryk have sex with Liora before the MC, god forbid

No idea how you deal with spoilers on this thread, so, sorry if I'm prying too much! I like spoilers, they give me peace of mind to enjoy the story knowing how to steer it where I want

Sorry to bother you again, I downloaded again the HTML, using the MEGA one (the 2G one) and still no face for the goblin's king, girl, and other minors goblins.
I was wrong about beastmen, they have different names, did not see that.
Regarding daily visits, I could have some others were locked, same with most of dream, I guess that it depends on game's choice?
Regarding combat: I lost one against the beastmen: they destroyed the wall, and one against the ooze creatures, but for the beastmen fight, I won all chapter 7's fight without even taking 1HP damage? The later fights' duration was almost 400 rounds! (which implies clicking like a mad man to get it over with) with Blobs taking some damage every 3 or four round or so (regeneration) and my party regenerating all damage each and every rounds, and therefore being unscathed...

Thanks. The missing goblin faces are very likely a case sensitivity issue. MEGA seems to have renamed some folders. On Windows it usually works fine, on other systems it can break image paths. I reuploaded everything to fix that. The HTML download has two folders (one extracted, one zipped). They are identical, just use either.

Daily visits and dreams being locked is normal, most of them are placeholders for future content for now.

I'll check regarding combat if I can balance that.

• Liora will become a bit more open-minded later on, starting with the over next public release. There will be a scene where she discovers the MC with Seryk (if you are on the Seryk x MC route).
• She will not immediately jump to 'sure, fuck whoever you want', but more toward where she is genuinely okay with it.
• For the MC, that kind of openness will take longer to develop and will be handled more gradually.
• I am fairly sure I can add a choice later on, once the sharing route is implemented, that allows to trigger it even without going through the earlier NTR route.

Hmm this is weird and I'll look into it. Well yes you will have an issue in later chapters when you enter the menu again, it would throw you back to chapter 5. But it can easily solved by switching the index.html back to the original one.

I have had the same problem when I played A5 version.
And what is more?
I'm playing the A7update now, and there's only a "continue" button at the bottom of Seduction combat Configuration page. Clicking it would take me jumping into the Dungeon Options page and directly opening the sandbox system.

can you share a save? Then I'll check it out directly what the issue might be.

hey, so how does skill cost work? Is it based on your Focus? Focus description does say it makes them more efficient. At some point everyone's skills ended up costing only 1 stamina, even the ones I've leveled up. Now early on I thought the stamina cost increase as you leveled the skills made leveling them up entirely prohibitive since a tiny damage/healing increase compared to almost doubling the cost of the skill didn't seem worth it, but now instead stamina doesn't seem to matter at all.
Is it a bug or something else?

your focus will lower stamina costs, so the idea is to level up your skills when your focus is higher.
Willpower and focus will get nerfed a bit in the next update though.
The battle system and talent trees etc were only implemented this update so there is still a lot of balancing to do.

 

[itshowyoumetme]

That makes sense. My main feedback so far would be to allow for a bit more oomph when leveling talents. Just some simple dopamine hit to compensate for spending your stats as currency. I like the idea of the balancing act of strength now vs more strength later but I think it might need some tuning.

I am probably an outlier, I've basically tried to min max as best I can as I go, focusing on doing battles and almost winning with lust before switching over to fighting to maximize gains and achievements so I'm fairly sure I'm a lot stronger than intended, but even so, it still doesn't feel amazing to sacrifice a pretty substantial amount of your stats for fairly marginal gains. Even though I've tried to level talents fairly liberally, primarily in the +stat gain%. I haven't really felt much of a benefit from it and I'm fairly sure I'd be stronger had I just skipped investing in the first place. I'm sure that will change with time, but it might be good to add some milestones or something to make it feel more rewarding.

man im having minor regrets over my decision for the maid's gender cause on one hand a man would be great for the gay harem route im going for but on the other keeping her a woman would be good for nimeria angst

 

[Bonds Defiled]

thanks, this should fix it.

Does this mean that in order to be on the Seryk x MC route you need to have done the gay content in the earlier chapters? I avoided them cause it's not my personal cup of tea, but I am also the feminization route for MC and was planning to get him involved with the other male characters (such as Seryk) once they are feminized enough to be more my taste.

no, you can still trigger his scenes after you became a femboy.

cool. just for clarification, this hasn't been added yet? I assume the feminization isn't far enough along yet for it to be included?

 

[wolfer001]

yes, it dose solve the problem, but i don't understand why the game seems to be working normally for everybody except er several players?

There shouldn't be a restriction anymore for morningvisits so you can simply visit seryk after transforming to a femboy.

Well that's something I'd like to know too

 

[reidanota]

Not sure what do do here. If I "use" willpower, it goes down in exchange for a stat gain I don't know where to see. So, bottom line, is it better to have high willpower or stat gains, or other bonuses? (edit: later in the game I saw a better explanation for the system, but it would help to know the math. Also noticed how some things' "cost" lowers with increased stats, such as the mana crystal cost of nimeria's dreams decreasing with attraction. It suggests that there's something to gain from postponing these "investments" until they become absolutely relevant).

 

[surfpup]

I'm not the developer, but I'll take a stab at trying to help.
You'll take a hit now in exchange for more gains in the future with Stat Gain. Spend 10 Willpower points now, your Willpower goes down by 10, all future gains in Willpower from training/combat/events with be 5% higher (that's what it says, for me it gives me 6%). Instead of gaining 1 point of Willpower from killing the goblin, you get 1.05, although due to the display rounding you don't always see tiny gains. At level ten the cost goes up to 15 Willpower to keep raising the stat gain, etc. It continues to go up in cost, not down.
In the short term, it doesn't feel good.
If you like to grind a lot, the gains will eventually bring your Willpower to a higher level than if you had invested nothing in the gains, but it takes a while to recover the lost ground.

Surfpup already answered it perfectly. Longterm it's worth it to at least invest a few points, especially in spread. Short term no but you will see you don't exactly lose too much strength early on, cause talents unlock achievements as well, which will give you ressources and permanent stat bonuses.
But you won't miss much by completely ignoring those systems either. If you only want to go for H-scenes / story. It's mostly meant for those who like to grind.
