gotcha gotcha, thanks. I really hope they reduce the difficulty of the chapel in the next patch, maybe add some more healing points.
... if what i gather from reading prior posts and the artists twitter i think we were lucky to get the sign before the boss that gets you more clothing to use.

Christ. It's that kind of thing, huh.
....Personally, I don't find anything really sexy about trying the same rooms over and over again like forty times in a row. Kind of antithetical to an h-game, in my opinion.

i can agree with you there, some folks when making a hentai game fail to strike a ballence between smut and game usually due to the act being a tightrope walk. however i think this might be more a case of dev bias causing problems, the boss of this stage from how i understand things dosent really deviat from their attack loop/pattern just its a pain in the ass. the dev making the pattern will of course know it already slightly reducing difficulty during self tests, one of the reasons theres testers out there... theres also the problem with difficulty ballencing the desire to make an area hard tends to magnify cracks that already may exist in the system i think that is happening here.

That's definitely the case since older bosses are way more of a breeze once you get the hang of them.

As it stands, the level as it currently exists (at least with Depraved Blessing and Apocrypha) is a grueling gauntlet of content with one life, no heals, but at least a few checkpoints. Maybe would be fun in something like a FromSoft game, but not really ideal in my porn.

Yeah having no healing in the hostile area as far as I could tell at least. Made it much harder than other levels, unfortunately the dev as far as I'm aware is taking a break from updating this so we won't see a difficulty tweak anytime soon.

That difficulty spike needs a lot of balancing. The lack of healing, and stage hazards everywhere make this stage much more difficult than the other 3. I know dev has been through a lot both personally and with Steam. I am at least thankful he released this demo for us to play.

New post on his , and .
1688824666900.png

It's been a month since my last report, and I've been clam lately, so let's talk about what's happened in the meantime.
If you are reading my Twitter, you should know my current situation in general, it's okay if you don't, I'll organize it here.

In fact, the day before last month's report was released, I went to look for a place to settle.
I was so naive to think that I could afford to buy a place that should be a necessity.
After seeing it, it became clear that houses in Taiwan are not for living anymore, but are treated as financial commodities for investment.
In my hometown, the houses built in the past 20 years, I should say apartments or elevator buildings, basically the price of a ping is almost a million.
Take a 20 ping (about 712 sqft) apartment in the city, it costs about 16 million ($530,000).
Even if it is some distance away from the city, it is still about the same price.
Incidentally, the median annual income of the salaried class in Taiwan is about 500,000 ($17,000), and the average is only 670,000 ($22,300).
This is a ridiculous price to pay for housing.
If you want to go to the so-called suburbs, it's really far away and there may not be anything around.
After all, Taiwan is so small, and for someone like me who grew up in the city, it would probably cost me more to choose the suburbs.
If it's a place that doesn't even have internet access, no matter how cheap it is, it won't work, right?

So after a day of looking around I realized I couldn't take it anymore, so after a few days of rest I decided to look for a place to rent first.
I was lucky enough to find a place with enough space, close to my home, convenient living facilities and newly organized.
The monthly rent is 15,000, and the yearly cost including utilities is about 200,000 (US$6,500).
Even if I rent for a hundred years, it's still cheaper than buying a house with a 30-year mortgage, and I can leave whenever I want.
When you buy a house, you have to live and die with your house.
And the quality of life will decline, the pressure of life will become very heavy, which is not what I want.
Especially since I was on the verge of a mental limit at the time and fortunately didn't make an unwise choice.
In my opinion, people who buy houses nowadays are either people with too much money or crazy people.
In terms of housing, these houses should not be so expensive and do not have the value.
I'm not going to squander my money freely, and I'm not going to throw it into a stinking gutter.


So on June 12, I moved out and spent some time adjusting to the day and night disruptions and the near collapse of my mind and body.
Although I can't say I've adjusted now, but at least it's better now.
Finally have in the "rest" feeling.
The next half of the year I will slowly find the pace of my life, in the production of games in the past few years I just ignored this, which led to the current unstable state of mind and body.

This is how my life has been going lately.



Next, I will talk about the "Castle of Temptation".

I did say on Twitter that I was going to give Castle of Temptation an ending, but I never mentioned it here.
Although I'm hesitant, I think it's time to end Castle of Temptation.
A level takes up to a year and a half to produce, which is a considerable mental burden for me.
Some people say that drawing a doujinshi is like running a sprint, which can be done in a few weeks, while a comic book series is like running a marathon, where you have to keep drawing and running.
To me, making Castle of Temptation is probably like running a super marathon, and running until your legs break.
The time spent on this kind of production is longer than the other, and it is very unhealthy and mentally stressful.
And after confirming that Castle of Temptation is not available on steam, I think there is no way to let more people see this game in how to do it.
As for the reason why steam is so important, I have mentioned it before.
As long as your game is on the first page for a day, you will get much more exposure than other sites.
For those who do H games, this is a unique opportunity to get exposure, and once you lose it, it's hard to get exposure again.
That's why I say that steam is very important right now, because there may not be such an opportunity someday.

I'm grateful that it's because of Castle of Temptation that I've been able to continue making games up until now.
I also finished all the levels listed in the Castle of Temptation poll at the beginning.
Therefore, I must let Castle of Temptation have a complete end.
So I expect to add at least 6 H scenes and a boss battle.
And combine the previous levels with the chapel to make a complete game.

Yes, Castle of Temptation is coming to an end.
But this end is only temporary, there will be a new game to inherit the world view of Castle of Temptation to continue the story.
And I will continue to draw the dot animations.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a long ride fellas, but this game is coming to an end. Will keep you updated on the upcoming final updates. Can't wait for his next works. Love you all.
