I have a flash poll running on my Patreon for the Docks monster hunt- ends in 2 hours, but I need feedback from my investors, so if you are a $5 and up Patron, please help me decide what to do before I spend hours on the work! Thank you!

Are you planning to make games on Renpy, Rpg Maker or Unity?

Alpine Eagle Unity eventually, in fact, one of the Unity games was supposed to have released on Halloween but my programmer has just seemingly vanished! But yes, as long as a volunteer programmer will program for me, then absolutely. Ren'py probably not since my HTML games are basically the same except I can do so much more than a Ren'py game with them, and I'd say RPG Maker is definitely unlikely as I dislike that system and don't play RPG Maker games.

Here is the post about my Unity game that we both should be playing right now! Let's hope he sends me the file soon!

Twine may be a better fit for your ratio of text to images, but I'm not sure what you can do with Twine that you can't with Ren'Py. One thing I will ask though, please don't use Unity for games that could reasonably be done in either Twine or Ren'Py, Unity VNs never come out as well as ones in a dedicated VN engine.

The Unity games are actual video games. For example, my SBC game is a "squicky" Anaxverse version of a "Princess Trainer" game. As far as Ren'py goes, I had no idea I could have something as sophisticated as Desideratum in there with all the maps, items, random monster fights, character unlocks menu, Bad End menus, and onwards. Regardless, I'll stick with what I know.

That sounds good, although I will note the irony that Princess Trainer was made in Ren'Py.

Master of Puppets The difference is that my game also have a battle phase that Ren'py cannot handle which is a real-time strat game. Of course, I think my game maybe currently DOA in that my programmer has disappeared into the ether.

RTS is quite a bit different from trainer, and I wouldn't want to try and make one of those in Ren'Py, no. I would hesitate to say it can't be done, but I wouldn't want to try it. I'm a little sceptical about real-time porn games, hopefully your programmer will get back to you and we can all see how if works out.

Can one redo the monster hunts? I beat the caverns but I failed to unlock to bad ends and I can't unlock them anymore since I can't visit the caverns again.

Winxylegenda - There's no way to redo hunts, but on the bright side, none of the saves or anything will work on the final release anyway, so you will not be missing out on anything. Also, there will be at that time a "story mode" version as well, so you will have a much easier time going that route to unlock everything. The hunts and such, the "game mode" version is intended to be much harder than it currently is. However, that said, I will be releasing a free strategy guide with the final release with a walkthrough to aid in people that want to know where everything is and how to unlock it rather than exploring every nook and cranny.

One piece of advice regardless that I'd say is always save your game before you go out on a hunt, so that you can always reload it afterward.

Ok, for those of you that are my $5 and up patrons, I have released the new update! It is everything up to the end of the next monster hunt, the Docks of Sauvie Island! So, if you support me, or if you'd like to play the new update for the price of a fast food meal combo, come and get it! Thanks for investing in my hard work! This will go public, as soon as I am done with the next update and it trickles through my Patreon levels!

Happy New Year - and a happy new update! Both my patrons and the public each get access to new releases of Desideratum today! So, go and enjoy yourself for a bit of spooky mind control and corruption. Feel free to leave feedback or ask questions here or join my Discord to hang out with other Anaxverse fans! And if you are one of my $5 and up patrons, head over and drive yourself crazy on the Asylum hunt!

Also, I still cannot seem to interact on the F95 Discord, so if any of you fans want to go onto there and promote my new update, please do!

muttdoggy - I did put a MEGA download this time. I sent a message in case you want to put any of those other mirrors up. And, I added some new thumbnails to tantalize the Anaxverse fans here.

Helleaven and Devka it's sort of both a male and a female. Every odd-numbered chapter is from the perspective of the male nosferatu, Brone Lorcan, and every even-numbered chapter is from Absinthe's perspective with a monster hunt (in this game mode version) happening every two chapters starting at chapter four.

If you'd like to get an idea of some of the characters and such, don't forget to check out the ever expanding wiki at my website at the . My fans help create that wiki and all info is validated by me as official lore for this massive world I have built over the last 5 years.

Male protag for about 10min then it's pretty much female protag for the rest of the game. The only reason I tried this was male protag and vampires.
ahhh seriously what a shame I expected it to be more focused on the vampire's perspective ... but I think that after seeing the sample images it seems that the best part is taken by the female protagonist. :(

Akira K. - Well, as I say about 50% of the game is from his perspective. So, it's 50/50, the pictures are showing a lot of the Bad Ends because, after all, that's the juicy bits, but the nosferatu already sort of had his of course after the events of my The Anax: Call of the Cursed One. I even have put a BE for him though, where he gives into his blood lust. Still, if it's not for you guys, it's not for you guys, I only wanted to correct that misconception/exaggeration about the 10 min thing.

Jamestown77 - During this last update of development, I switched how to get the Bad Ends. I removed the give up button because there are currently close to 80 Bad Ends, and having to give up that many times would be ridiculous, so I redesigned it so that winning a monster hunt will unlock all the Bad Ends for the hunt (excluding the hidden ones that always require items from the House of Haggle). So, no need to lose or give up, just beat the hunts and you'll get all the BE's.
