Flash Abandoned Crimson Keep [Ch. 7 v1.6] [introspurt]

[Kisama33]

Meet Badluck personally, or through the magic circle?
And is there also a difference in Nefris' scene between chapters, or just the Badluck girls scenes?

As long as you only have a Badluck girl (Yil) you can't miss it even if you go the secret path route and missed the Badluck glyph or defeated the girl Badluck sends to face Soriel you will still be forced to meet him in chapter 5, same for all future Badluck encounters from now on they are all mandatory.
So basically you can get:
-Khrys/Synophi (only one of them) in ch. 3 and Nefris in ch. 5.
-Nefris in ch. 3 and Khrys/Synophi (only one of them) in ch. 5.
-None (by missing the glyph or failing to Temp a 2nd Badluck girl) in ch. 3 and Nefris + Khrys/Synophi (only one of them) in ch. 5.
-Fail to temp Khrys/Synophi in ch. 3 and/or ch. 5 and get Nefris in ch.3 or ch. 5 (it will allways happen in one of them) and then get Synophi in the start of ch. 6.

Do you really have to play chapter to chapter? There's no one overall game?

I seem to recall dev saying something about combining all the chapters into one when Imp Kingdom arc is finished.

Issues with that were: learning Unity, finalizing game mechanics and, of course, such project would be beeeeg.
So before that, things that need to happen: 1) Dev finishing Eld and learning Unity doing so 2) Making Chapter/s for Arcane Imp City and Lava Imp City (4 more chapters I'd say) 3) Making tweeks to previous chapters with finalized mechanics in mind (such as making Badluck events mandatory)

Yes, no.
because the game was made in shockwave flash
An obsolete and no longer supported file format which dominated the internet at the start.
This lead to many serious technical limitations. And the games will have to be remade first (presumably in unity based on dev's statements) before they could be combined.

There are indeed plans to combine all chapters from the "Volcano Arc" in a single game.
About the next chapter(s) we don't know what changes Unity will bring to it, we may get chapters with the same size than previous ones and then 2 or 3 more chapter will be needed to conclude the Arc or and since Unity allows it we may get the entire remaining content for this arc ""Tethra City (Home of the Tephra Imps" and "Lahara City (Home of the Lava Imps) plus ?Epilogue?" in a single chapter.
Eld will not be concluded before the end of this year that's kind of confirmed and what we will play when it comes out will only cover around 10% of the planned content, but after this intro will conclude the "Volcano Arc" and only then the Compiled version may start being worked on, later he may return to Eld or start a new Arc for Crimson Keep (nothing of this is decided yet).
This Compiled version will remake previous chapters and add/change all mechanics/feutures from the last chapter than can be considered the final experience intended for the game in the others, things like "Link Energy, Gem Energy, Tactics and other quality of life feutures" will be a thing from chapter 1 until the last one. There is also some ideias in the air of adding new content exlusive to this version like the possibility of going back to previous areas to get new stuff like side-quests, covenant upgrades, equipment (not confirmed), the Castle area "Nen's Lair" from the first chapter will also be remade with new sections added to it there's even the possibility of new maids be added to the story too (also not confirmed), Unity will allow to do/add new things that didn't worked on Flash even things that were removed because they caused issues are now possible again thanks to the change.

i've seen quite a number of games die the death after migration to Unity. it's not the Holy Grail some seem to endorse it to be. let's just hope this one won't be joining the stack of abandoned.

unity sucks. but... no good choices for an old flash game.
what with flash being dead

Having tasted the games myself, the art is pretty stellar. I honestly think he'd be better off just using RPG maker much as it's hated given what I've seen of the game so far. It would be far easier and imo far better than Unity since the RPG mechanics and regions were barebones as former flash games anyway.

I'm thinking something like Shrift which let the narrative setting, story, and artwork and its presentation carry what was effectively RPG maker whitebread.

Which chapters are voiced?

 

[Galgramax]

I've only just found this now and I'm quite enjoying it, I just finished chapter 3, but I'm wondering something. Is there any way to get covenants in future segments if you had to make a choice? I managed to beat the cat after many grueling attempts, but I saw the two missing spots in the gallery, looked it up, and found that there's an entire other two characters I missed. Are they gone for good?

 

[Voltage Flame]

Pretty sure most H-scenes are voiced after chapter 2, not sure there's voice acting in the overworld or during any interaction

You can only go for 1 of 3 covenants during the ending of Chapter 3 (Ice Queen, Dark silverish Elf, or Guardian Catgirl)
The later chapters have really tough boss battles, I would recommend a save just before attempting one of the 3 endings in case you want a different option of abilities

Ah, I went down the alternative path that I kind of just ignored and found it there. So... If you only get 1 of 3, that means that you can get the others in later chapters... Right?

I could check but I'm fairly confident you don't...not a big problem since you get a lot of other abilities later anyway so no worries. All 3 of them are good in their own way so there's no real best option.

In line with what was said above don't worry you simply CAN'T MISS any Badluck girl, even if you take a different path/route (only possible in ch.3) or miss the Badluck glyph (only possible in ch.3) or even if you fail to Tempt them (only possible on ch.3 and/or ch.5 ) you will still get them all eventually, from chapter 6 onward you will need to Temp all Badluck girls because if you defeat them that will result on "Game Over" also all Badluck encounters are mandatory and can't be missed anymore.
You will only have one oportunity to get an optional covenant/optional covenant upgrade (at least that's how it worked so far), optional covenants like Dirty Devil and Red Jelly in chapter 3 (Red Jelly can be obtained in ch.5 too) will not be a thing from now on (in fact there is a change that the compiled version will introduce these covenants as rewards from completing an optional quest were you need to face them just like it happens with Pinna were you need to complete "Find the Lost Lover" quest to obtain her, the reason for that is so the covenant has an individual associated with it so later on things like covenants upgrades are possible since you didn't got it from a random mob but from a named character you can meet again and interact with).
I sugest in case of doubt to just try Temp on everything you find specially unique/named foes, by doing that you will know if you can Temp them or not thanks to the message you get when you use it ("No effect" means you can't Tempt it) this way you will not take the change of missing any optional covenants, chapter 3 introduces optional content that you can miss forever so to avoid that there are guides in the game discord (I belive I saw them here too some time ago) that contain all the info you need to not miss anything.

I rly enjoyed the game in the beginning but for me it stopped beeing fun in chapter 6. You are beeing forced to use the same covenants over and over and cant use the fun ones because of the typing. The tempting moves with their long cooldowns are just time consuming and zero fun. Also the level cap it a bit like communism, of course it makes the boss battles easier but that should be your reward for grinding/putting in hard work, and they are sill gonna be a pain in the ass with all the status altering attacks. Also Without leveling random monster encounters are annoying and take out all of the fun. I should be able the see the attack power of each skill in the covenant sub menu. Somtimes these improvents completely ruin the gamers experience, a game should put fun as its first priority. Also if you are not into tiny tits the game probl. isnt for you.

--> there's no lolis? not even the depiction of any one character looks like one considering they're imps. small tits on a girl doesn't make them a loli. You sure you're not talking about the wrong game?
--> The level capping is present to balance the bosses of next chapter since during development it's known what's the max level a player would be entering the chapter. Probably it will be relaxed when introspurt decides to compile the game into a single release.
--> covenant use profile changes with story because the region changes, at one region you aren't supposed to get enemies of all attributes. It's relevant to see enemies with 2-3 attributes only which influences your uses as well
Rest is your opinions so you're entitled to it. I have nothing to say

Ok loli might be the wrong terminology but these women dont look mature at all. It would be nice to see wider hips and more curvy bodies. it doesnt feel like a porn game at all.
