Managed to beat seryck in the first battle but I'm stuck on the 8 goblins and keep getting destroyed does anyone have tips on combat or know if there is cheats for this game I feel like there definitely should be

You can continue even if you lose to the 8 goblins. I reloaded once, got much better result next time but still kept losing narrowly and decided against reloading again to min max before the third attempt. Turns out you only miss out on some minor battle rewards but otherwise it's fine and the plot continues exactly the same regardless if you win or lose the battle.

yep, there's no game over, just more rewards, and achievements for winning. Later on enemies in dungeons (and dungeon defense) scale higher each time you win and give additional rewards the higher the level, once you lose they level down again. It's to ensure that battles keep being challenging and still feel rewarding.

Hello! I found a bug where you can infinitely increase your gay level by doing the tavern drinking event with Thalor repeatedly, rather than the level increase happening only once the first time you do it (I accidentally got my gay level to 23 before realizing). This isnt a problem for me since I was gunning for the gay only route anyways, but could be a problem for anyone who wants a full harem and was just trying to grind affection/attraction with Thalor.

Found another minor error or maybe I just misunderstood something. In Seryk's flashback Thalindra's husband is called Klaus, but when Nimeria chats with Seryk about Thalindra's plans with her, she says the woman wanted Nim to be pretty to check if "Thomas" will cheat on her.

I mean that's great and all but battles right from the start are way too hard for someone like me who prefers story content over gameplay and constant grinding/losing took me 11 tries to beat the goblins just feel like the combat is too difficult for me to continue being able too play and I'm not the type of person who can deal with constantly losing just to see the story honestly preferred your game when combat sequences ran on they're own

yep I'll add cheats in the future as well, as it already was requested.

I think you might save yourself a bit of work if you just make the goblin battle easier or just straight have the narrator tell the player it's okay if they lose the goblin skirmish because our friends have our back or something like that. I had no issues when my crew was farming mobs between the goblin battle and thalor's return and I tried both the hard and the balanced approaches. It's just the goblin battle that feels exceptionally tough for new players.

I love the melody that often shows up when Nimeria is involved btw, e.g. in the scene where the MC has "A moment alone with Nimeria". Normally I just mute or greatly reduce the audio volume in HTML games, but this melody is charming and fits the whole setting very well. You made it with AI tools, right? It's not taken from some other source?

yep, every song and bgm is made with suno. But a few songs are heavily edited (chapter 3 end song took me nearly a week of editing ^^°).

Found another one, when you meet with NTR goblins, aka the trap, all the goblins have <<print character>>.

So based on current progress updates - there will be no Thalor x Liora NTR content in December, too?

You mean january? (next public build). Yep, NTR content added is mostly Seryk x Liora. The past month I focused on adding gameplay systems and animations. Next updates will just add H-content but barely any story. Thalor x Liora will continue as well.

I was talking about next patreon update. I will be subscribing for sure to see Thalor×Liora content.

There might be a Thalor x Liora update this month, or at the latest next month. I'm still pushing out a lot of new content right now, like a full UI overhaul recently and today's Mariel rimjob scene. I'll likely keep that pace next month too, since there's still H-content missing before I can start the chapter 9 development, and Thalor x Liora is definitely part of that list.

I just can't promise the exact timing yet, but it's one of my priorities.

Since the last one seemed appreciated, here is another line I noticed with the Rylan-name bug.

Spoiler: End of Chapter 6

Edit: I'm going to flag something else with this post, neither Viehzza nor Kahrtt's portraits are showing up in the Goblin king arc, and I assume this is because the code is requesting their folders in lower case, but the folders themselves have upper case initials.

I'm a bit confused by the non-NTR goblin fight in chapter 2.

Is that fight supposed to be winnable? It's a fight between 8 goblins with a total of 800 hp vs MC's 270
I can't seem to find a way to win, I end up on the defeat screen but the game rolls on as though I had won.

Is it supposed to be a loss? Did I mess up with stat distribution somehow?

This patch should make it easier. You only get a bit of gold for winning, no achievement.

 

[itshowyoumetme]

oh didn't see that when I searched. thanks a lot!
