i'm actually so impressed that you still keep going with this game lol, i remember when you first started out.

kudos to you friend that you keep the passion to continue your project, a lot of people just stop without saying anything
Thanks! I just don't like to leave my projects unfinished. I have played my share of games that were dropped for whatever reason, and it's always a bit sad, so I stick to mine.

Caliross has been a bit of a pain, given how long it's taking, but ultimately that's my fault (I should have narrowed down the scope a long time ago). I like how the game turned out for the most part, although as the dev I think about the flaws most of the time and how I could have made things differently.

In theory that shouldn't matter, but I'll keep an eye out, maybe I can figure out what went wrong.
I'm having the same issue. I go up to Sariandi and the only scene that plays is the one added last patch. granted there is new art that wasn't there before. However I don't see a new scene itself.

If you are talking about the one where Sariandi is on top of you, then that is supposed to be the last scene when you talk to her (specifically, the one that starts with "Mmmh, it's a good thing you are back again."). However, if you finish the game and watch the ending slides, now there is one acknowledging your relationship with Sariandi, and it has its own art. Of course, you can only finish the game once, so if you already did it and then went back to Sariandi, you can't see the short scene (unless you use the debug tools).

I've explored the debug area a little bit but it was a little confusing to navigate. If I just wanted to see the ending slide without finishing the game would I be able to do that in the debug area?

There are 2 debug tools. Thankfully, the one with the ending test is the easiest one to use. The key item is called "Time control", the option to test the ending will be right there once you use it. The only thing to keep in mind, is that there are couple of visual "glitches" right at the start (since this is meant for testing, I didn't care to deal with them), but after the first screen transition, everything should be good (long before you reach the Sariandi part).

Just in case, I would save before testing the ending and then reload. In theory, there shouldn't be any issues, but better safe than sorry, since that's just to peek at the ending.

If you aren't playing the patreon version (0.9.19), her part of the ending will be missing the final art slide (this one):

So I opened the "Time Control" but don't see any options that would lead me to the ending of the game. There are some options like: Change time of day, give merchant pass, skip a day, erase pictures etc. but nothing that I can tell would bring me to the end. Love the new art by the way, very well done on this story arc, wish it could've been longer but appreciate throwing in a very niche fetish regardless.

There should be an "Ending quick testing" near the bottom. It should trigger the final scene right away.

Are you referring to the Sariandi branch? It was fun working on it. Also, cuckquean/cuckquean-adjacent content seems to be rare, so I thought it would be fun to have some of that in the game from both sides of the equation.

yeah, for some reason I do not have that option when I use that debugger, weird. My bottom two options are: Erase Pictures and Toggle Player Collison.


And yes, I don't even know any other games out there that include a female protag with a cuckquean fetish. Especially one done so well where the cucker (?) is this sort of arrogant, bratty dom who the protag has conflict with right off the bat but is slowly manipulated into thinking that they actually ARE better than them. It was just done so perfectly, well done.

I guess I hadn't moved it there yet in the public version. Let's go back to using the Travel Sphere, then. Once you appear in the room, go south-east. The first "NPC" you meet in that direction should be a guy in black armor, and interacting with him gives you the option to trigger the ending.

Glad you liked the progression! Sometimes I feel like I am "cheating" a bit, since mind control is the backbone of most of the content, but I try to put some effort into giving the various paths a fun arc, so it's nice to hear it's appreciated. ^_^

There we go, I was able to view it that way, albeit without the aforementioned art. Thank you.

Will you be looking to add similar scenarios in ToTDC 2?

Happy you got to see it, finally. XD

I am not sure. The protagonists are quite different between Caliross and TOTDC so it might not be a good fit, and the established characters also wouldn't work. Never say never, but at least for now it's not part of the plans.

Stuff like fitness training at the Bazaar or studying in The Mages Guild or sleeping or working at a job or going to the brothel in the Slums, advance time.

Probably been asked before, but the third screenshot - what scene is that?
It can be found in Highrock. You get there because of a quest ("Lost in the Woods", chapter 3 and onward in the Adventurer’s Guild), and later on if you re-visit the village you can meet the futas there. I might have to add a cutscene or something to make the newcomers more obvious, though.

Oh right! I do remember Highrock - I thought that scene was some variation you get of Captive Audience. Cheers, man - love your game!

I'm trying to make my way to the minotaur village, and I'm stuck at the location where the inconvenient boulder is in the way. Even with the hint in the walkthrough that Erica can jump a one-tile wide gap hasn't helped, as I've tried walking up to the wall at every spot and up to the river at every spot without any success, so I suspect that I'm overlooking something obvious. I'd thought that I might be able to use the fish transformation to cross the river, but that's not available here.
Where is minotaur village exact location....
