The rpgmaker XV map portions are running really slow on my computer, but besides that this game has been great so far!
Have you tried changing the video render in the options menu?

We created a video showing how to do it and the difference it might make!

I wasn't aware of this, thanks for the advice as it worked!

While you're not the one who made the thread, perhaps this should go into the OP in a FAQ section or something like that :)

Okay, so having now played the 15 hours or w/e it took to get up to the end of the current build (if dungeon 3 has a boss I didn't get there, I stopped when snake-lady was max relationship) I'll leave a bit of feedback.

First and foremost, game owns. I really can't understate how much I appreciate a game with straight furry content and also production value and cute writing, that is a surprisingly rare thing so just doing that earns the project a ton of goodwill from me.

Character designs are great, I'm a filthy furry so obviously my favorites were Leru and Nadjet and I was happy both of them were written in cute believable ways. Who hasn't wanted to butt fuck a furry Brienne of Tarth? I do wish the sex scene art matched the non-sex scene art better. I really like how edgy and dour Leru looks most of the time and her looking like a fluff puppy in the sex stuff wasn't bad, but I would've liked to see a more non-traditionally feminine design for those scenes considering what she looked like the rest of the time. Same thing for Nadjet to a lesser extent.

Gameplay is fun, it's hard to mess up exploring randomly generated dungeon levels since that's the sort of content I love in other genres too. Though the sort of attrition nature of having to delve down floors without returning to town means I never really had to explore much in the way of tactis. Just auto attack each monster twice in the first turn or two, maybe attacking one weak to holy with Leru, take my one or two hits at most each fight, and heal it up between them. So all the buffs and support spells felt exceedingly ancillary considering how little the game was putting in my way, but thats probably for the best. hell if final fantasy has that problem maybe it's just not fixable outside major design doc changes.

When I did the first dungeon I thought it was too long, I was exploring every single corner of the map and full clearing each level. I quickly realized this took forever and didn't actually give me a noticeable advantage anyway since new gear spawned every few levels that made all the old materials I had worthless. So then I started just bee-lining to the stairs every level and the pacing felt better. I'm not sure this is a good balance to strike, but neither would I have any ideas how to fix it.

It felt like I reached maximum relationship rank with Elia and Leru too fast as well, because I was full clearing each floor. i think I had capped out their relationship for the build by dungeon level 5 or something. it felt odd to hit the cap when i was only through 1/6th the game, though this may change some in the future as more scenes are added and w/e. Elia at least got more scenes in the next chapter so even though I hit her maximum level it didn't feel like I completed all her content, but no such luck for best-girl Leru. (I actually like Nadjet alot more than Leru but she doesn't have as many scenes and thus can't be best-girl yet)

Even with those critcisms though the game is extremely fun so far, mostly on the strength of the character writing and the content being unlike what is generally available with other projects. Definitely going to be following this one and buying it on steam or w/e when it's finished.

Hopefully some of that feedback was helpful and/or insightful so I don't come across like a weird porn nerd despite being a weird porn nerd, and to wrap up a couple questions.

Each girl had a point where I could tell her I was in a relationship with somebody else and thus wouldn't be continuing any of the sexy scenes with her, is that just so people don't et content they don't want, or is there gonna be some 'gotcha' down the road where I get in trouble for dating everybody?

Secondly, Elia mentions in her transformation scenes that she is only a dragon hybrid, will we get full on feral dragon scenes with her eventually? That'd be hot as hell.

Thanks for all the detailed feedback, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the characters in the game! I've heard other people mention Leru reminds them of Brienne of Tarth. I was probably subconsciously writing her personality like that since I was watching game of thrones at the time. Leru was one of the first characters I was really excited to write and come up with her design for the artist!

Erolon has gone through many...challenges with the art, to say the least. The original artist for the game that did the bust art wasn't able to continue so we then hired Avante. That's why you see a visual difference between the bust art and the scene art.

When Erolon was first conceived as an idea the scale was to be much larger with a bigger cast of characters, but over time we had to scale it back more and more. Our monthly income from Patreon drastically dropped over time from when it was originally being made, so we couldn't afford the artwork. On top of that the artwork process would run into very slow periods which extended development even further.

Even with those setbacks, we still have enjoyed creating these fun characters that you can have sexy times with! Originally Elia, the human mage, was intended to be the sister of the protagonist and the dragon was supposed to be a totally separate character. Due to scaling back we decided to combine the two characters in a way by having Elia accidentally transform into an anthro dragon.

Shame to hear about the money troubles. Cutting back scale is pretty normal game dev stuff but I'd like to think that content creators that do good work will make money because of it, but life is rarely a meritocracy.

Hope things improve as time goes on.

I played Erolon Dungeon Bound 2 times now, it's that good. If you take away the lewd scenes out it's actually a decent game.
But of course the lewds scenes are the best, writing is good. The fighting is good too. I really like Leru I hope we can see a little more of her in the future. Sorry for my english for it is not that good. But I can't wait to get a job and support you guys in this projects and your future projects.

I'm not sure I follow you here, do you mean to say the game side is a cash grab?
He means that the gameplay style of the dungeon crawling is similar to such elements in Gacha-games, those games are often cash grabs or designed around micro-transactions.

Najet is a pretty interesting addition to the roster, I quite like the 'fish out of water' stuff with her lack of social experience. I do want to ask though. Will the pose art or the cg's ever be replaced to make the two match a little more?

Najet is a very fun character! The next build will have brand new scenes with her in fact!

The bust artwork will likely remain the same due to our budget being limited, and the time commitment it would take from Avante (the artist) to re-create all of the bust artwork.

I'm sorry; it's been a while. Which one's Najet again? :D
Edit: The snakewoman alchemist? Hmm, I've not encountered her in the game yet. Should really jump back into this great game at some point. The dev team does really good work. Wishing y'all the best in 2021! xD

The snake girl is absolutely my favorite character. Partly because I already had a thing for nagas, to be sure, but she's also got a real cute personality and I'm curious to see where she goes from here.

If she turned into a feral dragon? Probably, yes. They wouldn't consider her to be anthro anymore if she looked just like a real dragon.
