I have a suggestion: why don't you open your game to mods? I know they could end up messing with your code, but /games/mods would work in this case, so more things would be added.
I'll just add that I'm not going to do any mod intergration stuff on my part yet, since again, the game is still in super early development, but I've seen people mod games like Roguelike or other Renpy games without this kind of integration, so you're free to try if anyone wants to.

As of backer build v1.27.2:
- Service bug: When selecting blowjobs in most cases, the event doesn't trigger.
- Occasionally, after lewding your partner, the dialogue will loop back once or twice to the choices involving what to do with the semen you left in your partner.
- Occasionally, the dialogue suffers some jitters before continuing on.

None of these are game breaking, but they are there or, at least, they showed up for me across the various saves and map events I tried. Will update as needed if I find any other bugs/glitches.

There is guide ?. I am not into politics or economies, thats why I don't know how use Eugene for my income or raise kingdom quality.

I know how to raise fame , but the other i don't know it's raise because court or kingdom management with Eugene.

I know profesion can be selected manualy if choice skip in the beginning, but if i choose don't skip there are few question. If i want choice barbarian , what question i must choice? And the other?.

The main quest is find someone in brothel, slum area , airship , and school. How to get in brothel? , where agent in slum ? , the airship and Professor in academy is not available right?.

There is battle mechanic?. In the slum area? How? There must duelist profesion or something?

Well the game is under development and i can't wait for completed and English are not my basic language.

Okay, thank you for letting me know so quickly!

I see the blowjob bug is still an issue, even though I've tampered with it recently. Guess I'll have to keep looking then!

As of backer build v1.27.3:
- Blowjob service not appearing still happens but now is kinda random. It plays with some NPCs but not with others. I can't seem to pin down where and with who it applies to so I can't really be more detailed about it, just that it happens. I can confirm that it doesn't trigger at all for unique NPCs like Lizette and Blanche, but is really hit or miss with random NPCs.
- Minor dialogue looping before it actually ends.
- During court events, between when a new claimant comes up, the game will freeze before crashing. It's the only place it happens so far.

That's all for now. Just updated it and tried things out for a bit so there may or may not be more bugs. Nothing super game breaking other than the court freezing crash.

Thanks for the input, as usual! It really irks me that these bugs are still a thing, but I think I might be onto a solution for at least some of them.
- I did some more tweaking to the bj scenes to address the bug. If it only affects regular NPCs my guess is that it's one conditional line in the script causing it.
- For that one,it might take me longer to figure out the fix. It's been an issue before and I came up with a temporary solution then, but it seems it's no longer effective, so I'll have to think of something else.
- I've narrowed this one down to the NPC spawning script. Basically, there are two scripts for generating NPCs in court: one for completely random NPCs you'll probably never see again, and for actual residents of your kingdom that might be impacted by your decision. The latter script seems to cause issues, meaning I'll have to take a look at it and rewrite it completely to fit in with the recent changes.

Again, thank you for your help! These reports really help with narrowing down what are the exact issues.

Waiting for next update. The next update Will be big update or just bug fixing?
That depends.
Updates for this game follow 2 broad lines of either 'free public releases' that take a few months between them or 'smaller test releases' that release much more frequently but are far more prone to bugs since backer builds are mainly used to dripfeed content and iron out the bugs for the public release. Standard indie game release cycle stuff really.

If you're only gonna play public releases, aren't a backer, or whatever else, then just be patient.
If you 'are' a backer then releases typically follow this pattern:
- Update build release, usually not super huge in content but enough to add something new. Typically a one to two week release between builds, assuming nothing is going on on the dev's end.
- A bit of time passes to collect feedback, which often follows a bugfix patch or two
- Poll for the content to be showcased/prioritized for the next build update
- Rinse and repeat.

The public release build of the game, as far as I understand, is the final result of all those test builds to get to the next full version of the game. I.e: from v1.27.0 to v1.28.0 with everything in-between being the backer test builds I mentioned above.

Is it a common bug when the models aren't showing during sex scenes?
A lot of it may be related to the fact that I haven't completed all animations yet. You can still start the scenes without animations, but they will only happen in text form until I make more animations.

Oh, okay! That makes total sense now! going through the script, I've realized that the new dialogue lines that I added for some NPCs had a missing line for jumping to the bj scene. The next update should finally fix this!

Sorry for the long wait and the misunderstanding! And thank you for clarifying!

As of backer build v1.27.4:

- The BJ service issues seem to have been solved, at least as of this version. YAY! Tested it all over the place and with a few save/reloads and, at least with any female/futa NPC, there are no issues so double yay!
- Conversations after sex/service still occasionally do a bit of stuttering before ending, but nothing game breaking.
- This isn't a bug but more of a suggestion. So, with the new Nobles court event, it shows the effects of your choice with respect to faction rep. I think that's a great feature I'd like to see in all court events. Takes the guess work out but, for now not a high priority.
- As for the new events themselves? the Prostitute one made me chuckle. Yeah, I can't wait for more faction specific events/effects in the kingdom.
- I dunno if this one is a bug or is supposed to happen, but when on patrol in the slums, I will sometimes deal with one issue only to be automatically deal with one right after it. I was just wondering if that was a thing that was supposed to happen.

That's all for now and, so far so good.
Will update as needed.

Glad to know the BJ scenes finally work as intended!

As for the hints at the court, I'm still on the fence with what I should do with them. I'm wondering if it should be something you unlock as a separate ability, or something that's there from the start. Either way, it will take me a while to add it to all events, since it's more work to do so retroactively.

The same goes for me adding visible prompts for affection/lust/obsession changes, but that one should be coming out somewhere in this development cycle.

Suggestion for the smuggler event in court. I was thinking it'd be cool if, after pointing out to the smuggler that their own country will kill them for this, you can choose between sending them home in chains or offering them citizenship after an Evalian punishment. An offer of mercy that might make them actually grateful to be sent to the wall.

And another thought I had, regarding prisoners in your personal dungeon. I don't know how hard this would be, but would it be possible to recruit new staff from the prisoners, once you decide they've had enough? Would be natural IMO to populate your serving crew with trained sex slaves, and some of the people I for one send there wouldn't have anywhere else to go.

Oh, the ability to see changes would be a cool ability to unlock! Like, an intelligence check kinda ability! Something to think about anyway.
And yeah. I can't wait to see how our subjects react based on how we treated them. That should be fun.

As for time? Look, if you follow indie game devs, some even fairly well known projects are legendarily long! Like, 'The Last Sovereign' by Sierra Lee? Going on a decade now.
I'm not saying Evalia will take that long (tho, who really knows, right?), but my point is, is that a truly good project is worth the patience as long as the dev puts out quality work and at least attempts to be consistent with their work, which you have. More than most. It's a tough standard for indie devs due to the inherent instability and limitations of this being more ore less a free project made by one or two ppl in their free time.

Dunno about other ppl, but I love this damn game. It ticks off a lot of my boxes all in one go, so I'm willing to wait for it to get to that peak. Meanwhile, folks like you inspire me to attempt to make my own games.... which, is super hard and time consuming, but I'm also fighting against my own head and mental state more than I'd like, especially lately. Makes my own work slow... so I'm not really in any position to criticize other ppl....

Capitalist bred, immediate gratification spoiled, consumer entitlement poisoned impatience are a hell of a trifecta tho.
Speaking for myself, I at least try to stay self aware of those factors so don't tend to get snippy unless devs start ghosting for like, six months and up at a time, which is more common than I'd like.... I'm sure some devs have their issues, but I have to draw the line somewhere, same as anyone else... dev or consumer/player.

But, rest assured. You do good work! I already spoke on plenty of my fetishes/wishlist so I'm just supporting, playing, and being patient.
