Ren'Py Dungeons & Essence [v0.2.2d] [Frost Games]

[The Pointman]

Yes, there is a female goblin slayer and her team with the dwarf and lizardman changed to female as well, you can find them after you finish the first dungeon. From the group, only the goblin slayer has sex scenes in the current version.

Kind of reminds me a bit of old boulders with how weak we are at the start but honestly like the game so far with what i have played hard as hell though. lol

Yeah, player start weak but gain power fast by getting some gear and unlocking summon and skills, the level 2 perk is also a great boost to power, although you need to beat the first dungeon to unlock level 2.

From what I have seen what most people find hard is to beat the group of adventurers blocking the entrance of the dungeon. Here you have two options, either you defeat them or you wait 30 in game days and they will go away. For the current Patreon version(0.2) I added a third option, you can get the trio of slimes to help you against the adventurers.

I have no idea on how you are playing but here is a simplified tutorial to reach level 2:
1- fights the groups on the bronze tier until you get a full team(at this point it is you and two summons)
2- Once you have a full team start fighting teams on the silver tier and equip new skills as you unlock them.
3- Get enough xp to level up(100) and go sleep to do it(choose charisma as one of your primary stats if you want an easier time).
4- Decide what is the party role you want for your mc and start buying gear for it.
5- Start trying to complete the quests from the guild, the first one is not hard but you will need to start the gold tier.
6- You can try to defeat teams from the bronze tier of the plant dungeon if you want more skills and summon options.
7- Complete all day quests of the guild and get the reward before doing the dungeon if you don't want to miss the reward.
8- Try to enter the dungeon, you will lose to the adventurers ambushing you.
9- Try again and this time beat them since you won't start at 30%hp like the first time(aoe atks are great against them).
10- Complete the goblin dungeon(remember that you can change your team between fights and if you pay attention you will know what is coming after the first fight) and you should probably already have enough xp to get to level 2.

You can look at the guild library on your main ui to see a lot of information and understand what each attribute, stats and status effects do. I have 3 builds I use for testing, the easiest is the magic build followed by the tank and the physical dps is the hardest. That is why most weapon skills got buffed in 0.2

Guess i will have to start again since that stats i picked don't do shit plus the grind in this man is insane.

Just curiosity, what are the stats that you picked? All stats are useful, just for different builds. The respec option is already available in the latest build so it should get here on the next update.

I will wait for the respec then can't be bothered with the grind again i have 5 str 6 agi 4 con 4 mag 3 will 2 cha. I honestly try and balance the stats at the start of RPGs then i spec into something i think i will enjoy guess you can't do that here so just going to spec in magic maybe when that respec is in.

The respec is only for the leveling stats, not the training ones so the 6 points you distribute at the tutorial can't be changed with the respec. By your stats you are level 1, next version go up to level 3 so the total stats you get to distribute are 36 from leveling(you will be able to respec them) and 6 from training(permanent).

If you want the easiest time in the game go for charisma and magic, your summons improve with your level, but charisma will make them even stronger, it is actually the strongest stat in the game since it may not make you stronger or more resistant but there is only 1 of you and up to 3 summons at level 2.

I would recommend you to restart and try out another build since you are having troubles with the combat and because the best stat is your lowest. For a mage build at the start you will be looking to get some water essence(defeating slimes and fucking them, even if you lose you get essence if you have sex with them.), a lot of great spells in it.

Finally did beat it just some enemy groups in this game are just insanely op.

What build do you suggest the mc to take? Cause given that the first party preventing you from reaching the dungeon outnumber you..........I'm going to need something really powerful. Tell me.

Just upgrade charisma and magic all other stats are fucking useless any other build just gets you killed and even then you will probably lose a lot since the MC is weak as piss cause honestly almost every party you fight is just OP as fuck and stronger than you. So yeah just charisma and magic.

Just scroll back a few posts I wrote a mini guide to level 2. Although practically all mc builds can defeat the adventurer group it is just a lot easier for some, especially magic/charisma builds using aoe spells. 0.2 have an extra option of asking the slimes for help against the adventurers but it will only be uploaded here when I release 0.21 for patrons.

 

[Persona59523]

yeah......feel like it really needs some balance rework of somekind. Also, screw the fact that you lost health each time you take damage. And the fact that elite and more boys(or rather girls) are two separate choices.

There are a lot of balance changes next version including a buff to elite because more summons is the better choice. You only recover 75% of the hp you are missing when the combat ends or 50% if your well rested is on negative but you can always just rest in camp for 1h to recover full hp.

 

[FrapFappers]

Howly cow there is so much grinding.

Also its a bit annoying to have to click on the travel map to re-enter the town even though all you did was enter your home or the tavern.

 

[Vipergts]

How do I increase my summon limit?

 

[frostgames]

How do I increase my summon limit?

You start with a limit of 2 summons active at the same time and can increase it to 3 if you choose the perk for it when you reach level 2. There is no other way to increase it right now.

 

[Kaeri]

I -really- want to like this game, but holy crap, the grind is worse than some MMORPG's I've played. The limit of just two summons is really disappointing, as it means you have tons of summons that you won't ever use at all because you just can't summon them. Beyond that, I've hit the gold tier and ground it to dust trying to get the freaking quest groups to spawn for me and they just never do. Super frustrating.

I hope this game gets developed more. Actual sex scenes (or at least more than just one picture) would be nice, along with some tweaks to the grind vs the reward. I've lost count of how many times I've cleared the daytime gold tier, and still can't get the tier 2 or 3 bounties to show up (which are lost if you don't do before level 2 it says). In frustration, I went to fight the boss and got one shot by one of his attacks. So. Yeah.

As I said in the post right before yours, the active summon limit can be increased to 3 and you can change your active summons anytime you are not in combat. About the guild quests you need to activate them to greatly increase the chance of what you are looking for appearing and the quest will only complete if you have it active(you can only have 1 active at a time).

The current patreon version already has many QOL improvements and with the next one that is in the works I think I will finally end the complains about too much grind.
