There are not. I thought about this at the beginning and decided I wanted them to have set names for if I want to use them in future games or crossovers. Also this way it makes them feel more like distinct people for me.
From my point of view this is a good call. Allowing people to create their own names offers an opportunity for self-insert and this often doesn't work that well in literature when they aren't presented with choices that they themselves would make their self-insert protagonist to make.

Too many can't pull this off and I very much prefer attempts my authors to make a more solid character whether it was for future sequels or otherwise.

Is there a reason a game that won't have the combat system wouldn't prefer using Ren'Py or another VN engine? I feel like RPGM games often have this clunkyness that makes going through the plot annoying AF. Sometimes I click too fast or misclick and can't roll back forcing me to load my last save etc.

Oh man the despair when I walked into that spa and it said, "Charlotte's content for this update is finished." :(
Im so into charlotte story rn i can't wait to see future upgrade
You'll both be very happy to hear she's getting some good spice in the next update.

Main reason is money and ability to express a scene and player freedom better. Basically for Renpy I'd need background art, sprites for every single recurring character, much more regular art and general CG's too in order to show what's happening in fight scenes or the like, while with RPGM I can express it with the pixel sprites. On top of this free roam in an renpy game then becomes click around a map while I personally find it much more fun to be able to walk around and chat to the npc's, see hidden scenes with certain very pale women or drunk guys etc (totally not a hint to any secrets there or anything). So in the end if I was to make it in renpy it would be more expensive, take longer, and I don't think would offer as fitting an experience/world.

Will there be a male lead vs. futa sex scene in the future?
Hopefully, and please add more futa content。
There will certainly be the possibility for Jen to end up involved with both Cam and Elora, I've just not decided if the Cam involvement will be available no matter Jen's "situation" or if he can only start something if you cure Jen.

At least you reward exploration, but many RPGM games don't even have that decency. Fragile Innocence comes to mind.

Hey hey!

Here we are, Branded's first update in all it's glory. Normally this shouldn't drop to the public till the end of the month, but as I said in my recent posts, I really wanted to thank everyone for the support so here it is! I really went all out in all I could with this update and put my money where my mouth is with the amount of art and extras. As such I want to make it very clear, this update is a big boy and with the current funding I can in no way support this amount of art and extra's each update. But I really wanted this first one to go as hard as I could let it.

There is a possibility old saves will have issues with the new questlog, and some side missions, but the main content should be fine.

I've included several new saves at the end of 0.1. Save 1 is with both Cam and El having chosen all corrupt options in the prologue. Save 2 is Cam corrupt, El pure. And Save 3 is Cam Pure, El corrupt. If you want a both pure save, you can just start a newgame and chose the skip prologue option and it should load you at the end of 0.1.

Here's the extensive changelog:

So here it is, Branded 0.2! I can only hope you all enjoy playing as much as I enjoyed making it! If you find any bugs or issues please report them here or the discord.

Here is also a link to the poll where you can vote on which characters you played and which routes you're looking forward too the most. Any votes would be appreciated so I can get a more accurate view of how everyone plays and who people like.





Thank you all so much for the incredible support over the last few months. I can't thank you all enough, it give's me so much happiness and motivation to see every comment on the game. I genuinely could not be more grateful for you all. And I hope you have an amazing week.

You should put pure and corruption trackers on the Status tab next time. That way it'll be easier to keep, well, track of em, especially when you have multiple saves.

That makes sense. Hopefully you can innovate ways to make rpg less tedious. I'm a big fan of corruption games, i'm looking forward to this projects development!

Giving the player the option would affect none of that. The player characters can have a default name you use for future games and in your canon they can have the names you want. Changing the names would only affect my playthrough, nobody else's game and not your canon

nice and meaty update (y)
the only scene I didn't find was the scene with Jade
(and it doesn't work in the gallery despite everything seemingly being unlocked from the start))

understandable that this amount can not be the standard - but with the option to choose who to play at any time anyway I assume it won't break anything if one update focuses only on certain characters to converge later at certain Mainstory points
I think it was a good choice to show off the beginning of so many routes so early to get a feel for it

the only things I would like to see implemented are the option to hide the textbox and a corruption tracker
(I don't know how much I need or how much I have - so I don't even know if Charlottes scene is even implemented yet and my choices blocked it, or if it is a preview of that system since it's also not playable in the gallery)

both of those where already addressed by others and responded to
just wanted to add another voice to the request

Aunt Edit:
I actually kind of agree to the request to rename as well
being able to choose a name that you always use or are more familiar with helps with immersion in the dialogue that it is "me" the player instead of "just the MC"
and I agree that as long as the model is the same they are recognizable as Cam and Elora when they show up in a sequel with these names
IF a player wants to rename them they have to live with their original names in a sequel - where they might not be the main character and thus not needed for the immersion as the MC

already looking forward to the next updates :love:

Glad you enjoyed the update and thank you for the feedback! For the Jade scene, you start it by visiting the market in the housing district in the morning as Cam.

If I may, I think doing both of those sounds like a great idea! It may take more dev time but it would be a great way to give Futa on Male fans content and add an alternate route for those who want a more traditional experience with Jen as Cam. A branching path style of corruption would be pretty neat imo.

Like for example, maybe one of the ingredients Elora needs to help Jen can only be accessed with the help of another person, leading her to ask Cam for help in procuring it. I think it could be a potential way of introducing him into the fold of dealing with her "problem".

Just my two cents, is all.

Edit: Wording and whatnot.
