does anyone have a list of the keyboard shortcuts or this game?
Let's see. The more "unusual" keybindings are "CTRL" to hide/show the dialogue box, "W" to skip through dialogue fast (and outside of dialogues, to quickly bring up the spell menu). Q is for bringing up the quest log. Note that these are for the default keys on the keyboard, but you can rebind them in the F1 menu (also, if you use a controller Q and W are L and R, respectively).

I think everything else is standard RPG Maker fare. If you are casting spells on the map, escape first de-selects the current spell and gets you out of spellcasting mode, before bringing up the menu like usual, but that's the only other unique situation, I believe.

Is reaching Lenara the end of the content in 0.94? Was anything else added in the new release or is that it?
If you have seen the scene with Alec before chapter 5, then that's it. The quest there changes based on whether you asked for help to Alpharius too many times or not, and has a few secrets (like the possibility to skip the first of the two fights), but there shouldn't be anything extra you missed, in a single playthrough.

Making all the maps took a lot of time (since I didn't do some preliminary work during the previous months, like I did for the temples, and I underestimated how much this would take me), and some puzzles are more complicated in the execution than they might appear. There is also some work that got cut out, because I was going to need too much time to get it to a point where I could leave it available for the public (chapter 5 is going to have some big political events for the empire).

Sorry if that came off rude, I just wanted to know if there was any side content left as the changelog is a bit vague, I feel that this quest is really well done and will replay to see the other variation. Can't wait to see what's happening next!

Oh, don't worry, it didn't sound rude at all, but I feel a bit disappointed myself, since I didn't manage to get more work done (or at least sneak in some sexy scenes XD), so I wanted to explain how things went.

Hi, just wanted to comment on your patreon post about Detective Alexandra Bates. I really like the premise but please bear in mind in "Manila Shaw" you can play a 100% justice route and not fall to temptation. Anyway, what could work in your story is to provide the protagonist with gray choices or no good choice at all which could increase or not her corruption or remove her inhibitions. More of this below so that you don't have to read a wall of text :)

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I hope you might find some of those ideas interesting to incorporate in one way or another.

Thanks for the suggestions. In theory, this won't ever get too complicated (it's a minor story meant as a bonus for patrons willing to pay just a little extra), but I can see some of the ideas being useful (some I already had in mind when I started it). This isn't meant to be a recreation of Manila Shaw (in fact, I kind of wanted to write this story because I felt the game didn't do justice to the premise), so I am not going to look at it for further inspiration.

Good morning, i've installed the game currently new and now have the problem with the following failure.
1. Can't find "Vl Gothic Font" (okay, i create a file with "Font") and now it works.
2. Unable to find Audio/Decision3
It's possible, that there are missing some folders or files in the newest installation?

The game needs you to have the RTP installed:



Let me know if this fixes the problem. :)

So question, I'm not sure if this was asked already or not but, do you plan on making a scene replayer rather then the current gallery system?

The current gallery will always be available. As for a full replay system, it seems unlikely at this point (that's something I would have needed to work on from the early stages, to track the scenes appropriately and to isolate them from the game's logic, to avoid issues), but I want to expand the masturbation choices (which is basically a replay function, but just for a few scenes, not all of them). I'd like to have the replays, but it's a lot of mindless work, it's hard to justify doing that over adding new content.

Hey mdqp, just started trying out the new update, one of the Jin scenes seems to have some clipping issues in the art.

Oh crap! Thanks for the report. I'll fix it right away. If there are no major bugs, I won't release another hotfix, however.

Does anyone know where Lea's content ends at the moment? I can't seem to find a way to progress past the point where she decides whether she is going to stay a slave or not.

If you are playing 0.94, that's where it ends. In 0.95 I added one scene for both scenarios, to wrap them up, so her content is more or less finished now. I also slightly modified the scene where you are "stuck", so that it changes a bit more between the two paths).
