Had a signature made of Sam last tuesday, completely forgot that I should probably put it in this thread until now.
Use it if you'd like, credit for making it goes to dildorog from the GFX request thread.

Well I did all of the Metatron events, at least as much as you can in like the first three areas (dunno maybe there's more later) and I am now incapable of doing any other girl's intimate events. This is not a game issue, this is a hardware issue. Specifically, my heart. This is also not an issue. Though I kind of feel guilty doing even the sex battle stuff. I may have to start a new game if I want to do any of that.

Anyone know other games with skill tree/builds like this?

No, thankfully.

Maybe Final Fantasy Tactics/Tactics Advance/A2? That series kinda has a skill tree system, but they're SRPGs. Unless you're talking about games you'd find here. in that case i dont have a clue.

Aww, Metatron is an angel in more ways than one! I love writing her, she'll definitely get some love upcoming - I've been writing up a storm this week.

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but if you mean adult games with fairly in-depth RPG mechanics... Corruption of Champions, Monster Girl Dreams, and Monster Girl Quest all come to mind. Maybe Rance if you're more on the strategy side of things.

Man, I enjoyed those games. Didn't like the plots aside from FFT, but the gameplay was fun. I ended up making an entire army of bunny assassins for... reasons.

Funny part about that is it would not only be perfectly sustainable but also literally be the meta because of just how good assassins were, at least in FFTA. Clearly the only reason, right?

Joking aside, yes, I actually just loved how they played so I reset a million times to get perfect stats on each one I recruited.

Hot bunny girls was definitely a plus tho.

11/6 Weekly Update
Great week of progress this time! about 9000 words written, which is somewhere around 45 min of content. Definitely not my record, but a good average to shoot for.

Maya and Ashley were the main beneficiaries, with plenty of new developments for both. Maya will no longer be Whoya... probably.

Maya is also getting some CGs, working with a new artist and have gotten some REALLY nice sketches of Maya and Ashley art that will hopefully pay off soon~ Excited to see how it will go, I'm a big fan of their work and it'd be great to get a good variety of CGs at better speeds for more girls.

Also got a new patreon beta going, to hopefully proofread new scenes and test the idea of weekly betas. Not sure if I'll stick with it, but it might be fun? Hopefully a decent reward, as well as forcing me not to get too caught up in mechanics that I accidentally leave the game unplayable for weeks.

Did some more bugfixes and typo fixing for older content as well, ex. channels now properly account for upkeep reductions and weapon traits work better. Actually, channel upkeep is now calculated and compared to regen so you just get the net, no more regen-then-cost, so you can regen back up to cap.

Got some fun patreon previews up for Rosalyn the butterfly mommy, storm bear, and one set of Maya CG sketches as well as the beta!

...Did I post here last week? I honestly can't remember, I THINK I mentioned the Amnelis CG and stuff but at this point I'm too far gone to be sure.

Good luck with your patreon! Wish I could throw a few bucks into your direction, hopefully next year.

So I started a new playtrough to see how the bow feels instead of my mage. Haven't gotten far with him yet. Someone a suggestion for another fun build to try? I was thinking about the Manasword, but I'm not sure yet.

No worries homie, ultimately you gotta worry about yourself first.

So far greatsword, spear, and mana blade all seem pretty popular, longbow really likes to have a partner but shortbow is versatile enough to work solo. Greatsword really picks up once you get 10-20 focus for better cooldowns too, feels like you're hitting them with a freight train.

Not to derail the thread, but try SEQUEL blight. Idk about the other sequel games.

Did you thought about hiding the names for events we don’t have unlocked yet? While it’s a tease what will come, it’s also ruining the surprise a bit.
I have a problem with Sarah’s titfuck CG. Where does the red strand come from? And MC dickhead does not look right.
I’m still waiting for the promised threesome from Ashley together with Sarah. Yeah pacing and all, but I don’t want to wait any longer, Ash promised.~
Which character is the hardest for you to write?

It's an old one, from before Sarah actually had art I think. Her design in it was based off Graf Spee iirc.

TheeSonus is correct, it's old art - actually, the first art I ever commissioned, when I had no idea what I was doing and none of the characters have art. It'll get replaced eventually. Assuming things work out this update, I've upgraded to working with two artists simultaneously for CG so hopefully I'll be able to deliver those faster going forwards.

I don't plan on hiding event names, the whole point of switching to this custom events system was to make it clear exactly what events existed and how to unlock them. I also name them fairly vague things and stay away from spoilers in the names/unlocks to try to keep them from ruining any big surprises.

Hardest... so far it's probably been Maya, I don't think I did a very good job with her intro. Now that I've been writing a lot more of her I think I'm getting her character down better and making her a lot more enjoyable to spend time with!

Threesome soon(tm), I've been trying to catch up on plot progression and camp stuff but that combo (and eventually sarah/metatron) are definitely on the list!

Thank you, it's really helpful to have people answering questions when I'm not around!

 

[Lord Kentus]

Just recently found this game but I gotta say I really enjoyed what was there and am looking forward to seeing it get updated in the future.

Glad you enjoyed! I'll keep working at it, next update should be pretty sizable; ~3 hours, maybe more.

 

[Tank Man]

In all honesty, I love the game, i just don't enjoy femdom. I love the Characters, the Story so far was Interesting and although the Combat is simple, I love how you can use two weapons like Sword and Board and Greatsword/Axe and switch the attacks up.

tl;dr: The scenes I don't like I'll skip as soon as tags are in-game for scenes, the thing that annoys me the most is the focus on the MC during the scenes, I'm still gonna enjoy the scenes that I like.

Besides that, I do love the game as I said, love the characters/story/combat and I hope I come to enjoy what I haven't discovered yet and the Updates that are yet to come. That's not to mean I don't already have stuff I like, the night time House scene with Sarah is sweet, it actually feels kind of romantic.

Actually another rant, just to vent, please forgive me.

I just Proofread, I don't want to be the Asshole that demands change, people enjoy the game, this was mostly opinions and suggestions for stuff you might not have considered and/or have thought about. People complain about the asshats that demand change and for good reason but not telling my opinions will also have no possible positive change.

I'm not sure I follow completely, but finding a decent balance between femdom and maledom is my goal. Some scenes, like Metatron's first time, have the MC completely in control. I don't intend to make everything femdom, but I like femdom and it makes sense for some characters and scenes, so there'll be a decent amount of it.

I will say one thing though; I want to make an adult game that's actually fun, rather than a porn game. It's probably not the smartest decision, but I want "playing for the story" to be more than a meme; to make the characters and combat and plot to be interesting enough that there's a reason to play it even if you don't like the lewder stuff.

Looking forward to it!

Also just wanna say you really nailed cute dork with Metatron, she is by far my favorite character thus far. I love how alien and inhuman her perspective on events are, how she barely understands her own feelings and has no real frame of reference outside what her sisters told her. While at the same time possessing a steadfastness and devotion to her duty and cause that borders on the threshold of genuine zealotry, curious to see how she progresses down the road.

Nice! Metatron has been a tough character, but I'm really glad I went with her. She's been a ton of fun to try to portray, both her unnatural nature and her human side. Trying not to go too close to blind zealotry, but also show that her mindset really does need more maturing and information to fully set.

She'll get *plenty* of future content, don't you worry about that!
