Can you make it so that when you escape the enemy icon disappears? Because it's pretty useless at the moment.

The rats won't leave me alone! I feel like I'm in a barn house of madness! :cry:

EDIT: Also, is the starting TP supposed to be random? Its range is from 0 to 20.
Okay I fixed the Rat problem ;)
And about the TP, I have issues with it as well but so far I haven't been able to do anything about it

Yeah! The rats truly are a pain in the ass in rat queen cave or inside dungeons where it was extremely dark, if they just continue to pursue and always known where player are then it it would need to be fix to make it more enjoyable. Feel sad about the TP hit rate, so you can't change it into 100% hit when use special skill at all?

No of course I fixed the 100% hit rate with special skills, my problem is with the random TP bar at the beginning of each battle.

I think it was normal, lot of Japanese hentai games started with that random amount of TP bar so you don't need to fix it. Just need to make sure the hit rate for special attack always hit 100% and that's enough

Waayyyyyy too grindy. If you lower the grinding to maybe 1/10th the current, I MIGHT be interested.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but it's really not that grindy, you can finish the current version of the game in an hour or so, reaching level 5-7 with upgraded stats.

It's not about 'how long it takes to finish the game' it's about signalling what is needed to complete quests, and how repetitive it is to complete quests, like with the rats. 50 rats? I expected maybe 10, at most. Are you encouraging people to make *interesting decisions* or are you encouraging them to do something tedious and boring over and over again?

I get what you are saying, with the rats, the reason I chose 50 was to prepare them for the tunnels, you know get them to level up a bit before going in. But if it's really tedious I can dial it down.

Than have the levels happen faster with less need to repeat the same action over and over! Or the benefits be greater for each level. Or remove the need to level grind entirely from the concept of 'things which a game should encourage'. Or make a wide variety of different sorts of combat with actual real meaningful decisions and abilities in combat happen more naturally. Or really anything other than holding down the 'attack' button for fight after fight after fight after fight.

Remember, rather than doing something because other games do it, think of 'what actual actions are you encouraging the player to take?' and 'are those actions fun and interesting?'

Arbitrarily changing time of day because you fought rats or whatever seems silly.

Make time changes have meaning. In the woods at night then there are more nocturnal creatures like wolves out.

If you have to break down a wall for a few hours, that might make creatures within a certain distance hear it and come to find it.

Things that are interesting or make sense and point towards something. Instead of spending 10 days just to do rats in the basement.

Also I think you should very much lead the player to the weapons hand holding like. I didn't know it was such a thing and spent a few hours punching rats. The missing in this game feels like it is on another level.

Menu pop up is slow. I understand you may want to make it aesthetically cool, but never sacrifice usefulness for looks. Form follows function.

After the intro, it is weird to see a beast person in the village, being it already states humans are evil and screw them over.

Being you can rename the MC his house shouldn't be called "Miles' House" in renovations quest.

Making the player have to exit a few screens after getting a quest is not good design.

When talking to Mother Susan about the statue if you do chat it will repeat part of the quest dialogue.

losing to rats puts you upstairs

losing to wolves puts you next to the wolves.

If you are still in the talking about the baron and giving flowers for the first time, you can repeat baron stuff with receptionist to get tons of favor as long as you have more than 1 flower bouquet. So the +15 favor multiple times over.

Update your NW.js file. Otherwise it shows an error about a player having a newer version of it and can't use their profile.
NW.js

Some weird thing is going on with bears. 1 strong attack doing 99 damage kills them, but 5 normal attacks doing 30 each doesn't. Or the bears just have widely swinging HP from sub 100 to more than 400.

Waiting for the aunt is maybe missing scenes or player can flub it up. Hid between the crates she finally came out, moved in front of her on accident and then had to move back to get out of the way. This made MC redo the whole waiting scene even though she was moving across the map, then trying to get the trigger before going over the bridge didn't happen, but finally he hid in the trees but saw just blackness. Then talked to her and didn't tattle.

Inside tunnels the time of day shouldn't really show since it is below ground.

Tunnel just right of the green shard chest, there is a part of a wall that looks brittle right next to the vines, this has no collision box so you can go into the wall.

One of the brittle tunnels on the right side seems to only have a single way to go.

Post killing rat Queen, the rats should stop respawning in the tunnel.

Spider cave especially on the right doesn't light up with torch very well.

Gem spiders need to give more TP when they hit the player, it really should be linked the to the damage done. Also Sweeping attack really needs to not hit a dead enemy.

Would be nice if MC could make minimaps of areas, so players can figure where they are, exits, etc.

Unsure why not telling walter that liz likes to walk around at night is wronging him, he cared if she cheated on him.

Calculations on some strong attacks are also weird. Like brown spiders normal damage is 2, a strong attack is 50. That seems crazy. Even with a strong and crit it shouldn't get up to that.

Why does charging bull and hammer hell not work with the axe you can buy?

With how straight forward the combat is, there should be an auto combat with speed up option.

After finding timothy if you go back to that cave and same area, MC says he found Timothy again.

Lots of repeating text when talking to people as if it is the first time.

Why don't Feral CB count for the warrior lady?

Ran into a phantom wolf. During finishing up the lioness quest on the way to leave there was a wolf near the entrance which I thought I killed, after getting in a fight and killing one the screen got stuck on showing the other 2 wolves and no UI and even if leaving the fight it stays showing that. Had to restart the game.

If there was a way to name saves or something since there are 2 major paths of evil/good.

Alexia after you tell her the lioness is in the basement the next morning her character isn't in the room but if you walk to the window she talks.

Chest when looking for gold bra had a c[23] You found a regular Boomerang!

If you have cleared a place with Agnes it seems weird to go back.

Weird 4 switch puzzle castle has an area you can't go cause of curtains blocking the path.

If you didn't know at least once I found where the offensive skill book was, that if you run into the lamps they will move.

If you spam skill books you can read them through the night too instead of having to go sleep.

Some places and things lack collision so enemies can move up a level or player can walk on walls.

Meeting uncle walter and him asking about news has the pop up partially hidden.

Also the quests seem to not tell you that they can't be done, like the leave the village, you have to find out from an NPC and it doesn't show it in journal, what about golden bra? Only finding a healer is shown as next update.

WOW! Thank you for taking the time to report the, Oh so many bugs, I will definitely look into them as I progress in development. Just one thing I didn't get was the "Update your NW.js file". What is this and how do I do it?

What a shitty way to start the new year!
I don't know what to do! I have to reconsider a lot of things and my hands are gonna be tied to my back! I am working so hard to develop my game and make some money from it and now this. Is there any other platform I can use? For now I think I have to axe the sexually "violent" content. I'm so sad, so frustrated.

Hello friend, I see you too have fall victim to Patreons questionable rules and what is good or wrong.

My advice is speak with the guys from Patreon in a civilized way and try to find a way to get through with your ideas. This will be hard. Imo those people should ask themselves what a braindead employer they picked to get their salary.

As an example how dumb Patreon is... it's ok if the player gets raped but he/she isn't allowed to rape. Makes sense, right? That's how stupid Patreon is and why so many people moved over to Subscribestar or other alternatives where range is worse but existing as a game dev is more enjoyable.

To fix the situation with the Kaali prison scene. Why not change her a little to act in a different way by being ok with the situation (or so it seems, she has an escape plan but plays along to get your trust) and the player isn't raping her but she is ok with the whole thing. Just make sure nothing points out that incest or direct rape is involved. Also be careful with feral characters, might count as bestiality... IN A FANTASY GAME because animals in our world look just the same, right?! xD

Oh and... you could speak to Nullbunny and Cookiedraggy, the makers of the game "Kincaid" for some more advice. I can't guarantee that they have time to help in length but they probably know some more ways to avoid Patreon BS. A link is in my signature and they even have a discord channel.

Thank you so much for the advice,
Honestly I was thinking about going all vanilla but the game will lack.
I have to see what I can do, I mean I've seen some pretty weird shit on Patreon and I thought I was in the safe zone. I've seen games with rape and incest.
I'm gonna fix this. This game is my life and I've invested so much time and effort into it. I really want it to succeed.
