So uh, I've been playing this for a bit and I'm curious how you increase the Aether and Abyssal corruption. also how to get Aether Initiate?
Ren'Py Divine Dawn [v0.32] [Cryswar]
To get corruption you bork the relevant girls, but Aether and Abyssal don't have that option yet. You get Aether Initiate by training under Metatron.
MoarDakka123 is correct (and very timely, thank you!), but to expand on the Aether question; Metatron's Aether training gives A LOT of Aether corruption, and part 3 gives you a choice to learn the Aether Initiate trait, which in turn unlocks two other trainings (metatron 4, sarah 4) to actually unlock various Aether magic types. It's a little more complex than the other trainings so far.

Metatron's Aether training 4 for three of the sefirot, and Sarah's standalone part 4 for Binah and Chesed.

I know about Metatron's one and about Sarah's one, but you said there are other trainings. Are they not implemented yet or am I missed them?
I said finishing part 3 unlocks a few other trainings (specifically, metatron 4 and sarah 4). Those are the two it unlocks.

I think the core problem is the ease of getting t/a from camp stuff, yeah, or generally from anything that's fully decoupled from story progress - to me it feels a bit like being incentivised to grind my charmander to lvl99 before the first boss in pokemon, or something, not in a grinding sense but in the narrative/immersion sense. I might be in a minority there of course, and even if I'm not, it isn't a simple mechanic to mess around with...
BlindBigot's idea definitely sounds like a good thing to include as a quick "fix", it's basically free to implement, and allows you to gate relationships such that story scenes written to occur in set places don't need to be written vaguely enough to allow for any stage of relationship to be plausible as its backdrop. E.g. upon reaching the equivalent of LoTR's Bree and sharing a room with someone in the tavern it can feasibly be written to be an awkward situation - whereas if the player might have already declared their everlasting true love marriage harem with the entire party during the first open world section, if they reach the first tavern and the story says "You sit down with your companions, Metatron stands stiffly off to the side away from the group, Sarah looks into her drink blushing and can't meet your eye" etc, it's all going to be a bit jarring if it's been 3 hours since the last hyper-orgy and a full 48 hours since Metatron opened up and learned to love. Speaking as a general example that is. Of course, if the intention is to have all the relationships be quite intimate and/or sexual from very early on, that's not so much of an issue anymore
W/ that said, all these things seem easy to theorycraft improvements for, but when it actually comes to implementing it, I'm sure there are a thousand little things that can crop up when you try to change something. Maybe the game is already mechanically organised in the best way it could be, and your effort is better spent just keeping doing what you're doing
Totally agree with that middle paragraph though, it's not unlike the Dragonborn, leader of the Thieves Guild, the Mage's College, the Dark Brotherhood, and Slayer of Alduin.... getting shit from the Companions because pup.

Wow, thanks for such an in-depth review! I really enjoyed reading that, you have a gift for humor haha. Beyond stroking my ego, the feedback is helpful as well - Ashley actually just got buffed to suck less a few versions ago, but character balance is... still a work in progress. And Ashley in particular is still intended to get more buffs.
If I can ask though, what would you like to see in terms of additional character utility? Other players are free to respond as well if they think a certain character is bad. I've got my own ideas to make all the characters good of course, but I figure it doesn't hurt to get feedback from others.
Allies will get masteries at some point (probably January update) as well.

Also, just as an update since I don't post here super often; more detail on discord/non-paywalled on patreon, but tl;dr the next update is planned for somewhere around December 23, focusing on Celica relationship/romance and various other things.
As always, I may be off by a day or two, kinda depends on when I hit a good stopping point and how bad family aggro is on the road to Christmas.
I'll be out of state the first few days of January, but after that, we'll be back to a normal update schedule and content density.

Jesus, you really like living on the edge, don't you?
Joking aside, at least do try to enjoy the season if you can even if it's bad for business, only comes around once a year after all.
It's less of a bug than a missing feature. Fixed for 0.17, I needed to get monster art working anyways.
Sam romance is definitely coming, tentatively speaking I'm gonna say this coming update will be Celica romance, next should have Metatron and maybe Whospasia, and Sam will either come alongside them or the next one. Not as fast as I had hoped, but... it turns out doing a decent romance takes a lot of effort lol. Learning experience.
Smug dumb childhood friend gf can't come soon enough though.
In the beginning when you choose between Sarah and Ashley, in the scene with Ashley, you're having sex with her. After getting home and inviting her to your room you're having sex again. In the morning is she still supposed to ask how it felt taking a succubus' first time?
There are way too many if/else statements there, some wires probably got crossed. I'll look into it.
Found a really weird bug. When you choose to sex fight Maya in your first meeting with her she's referred to as Aspasia and has all of her dialogue. Though, since Aspasia was who I did that with last, it might be a bug that carries over your last sex fight partner in place of her?
Also, some of her attacks in Maya's regular first meeting fight refer to her as a Grass Spider. I guess that's an enemy that has the same attacks as her, but the dialogue isn't intended for her.

Grass Spider Style is the martial art Maya uses. Its practitioners are called Grass Spiders. She doesn't have a scene fully explaining that yet, though.
Someone else actually reported that Maya bug too, but I haven't been able to replicate it in .17 so I'm... guessing it's fixed? Probably? I'll see if I can figure it out though.
