It's a nice game shows a lot of promise

 

[Frosty2000]

You should also create a Patreon tier for 1 or 2$. I usually spread my donation money over several creators, and especially in the beginning I would start with low tiers.
Also lower donations usually stay active way longer.

Btw game is looking good.

 

[Mrcrude]

looks neat

 

[istlover08]

you should definitely have a $1 tier on patreon

 

[IInEoII]

very nice

Thanks for the suggestion, we wanted the tiers to be more definite in a hope to provide valuable updates for all tiers but it is something we may reconsider. I hope you will like the game.

 

[Halfelf]

it looks interesting so far. Will say more after the download and i play

Very promising, a real RPG?You should post a resume about the main story so people would know what the game is about.

Is the game really male protagonist? Looking at the main screenshot would suggest female protagonist.

The protagonist is male but...it's just we have focused more on the female characters rendering wise.
I will update the main post's description and also add a little background story as well, without spoiling too much.

Some thoughts -

An OK attempt at an "adult" RPG (but lets be honest, in the adult genre the "gameplay" bar isn't set high, if at all, to begin with). Having said that, I applaud you for at least attempting to add some depth to the gameplay, even if its got a ways to go before it gets there.

One of my chief gripes with the system is the inability for a player to see the turn order. I died because after my single attack turn, the enemy Flayer got to attack 4 times in a row. How was I supposed to know he was going to get that many attacks off after my turn? That felt like a cheap death to be honest. Having a stats system is great, but the battles and turn order require a LOT more transparency if you want it to be anything more than a "try it and die" mentality to the fighting.

Also, the translation could use a lot of work. It's not the roughest I've experienced by any means, but it's not exactly good either.

Not a bad start by any means, but the gameplay needs polish.

combat is damn hard, healing items barely help

I'm not sure what you mean by "definite".

I'll just join the others with this note. I've never seen a successful adult game based Patreon without a $1 or $2 tier. I back 20 some odd projects, but only rarely do I go up to an amount like $5. It comes down to the economics of these projects which normally span more than a year. I'm not down to pay $120 over a two year span for the normal amount of content these projects produce. Maybe you'll be the exception, but it's a challenging place to start.

Best of luck.

Looks promising

 

[BaalDaredevil]

Great start, didn't notice any major bugs.
(was a little text ghost that wasn't too bothersome that I got but I forgot to screenshot it)
Skills go beyond the xxx/100 range and cost is 750 gold if you exceed 100. Not sure if that's intended or not

I didn't find any use for the seduction skill so far. And I wanted to ask if there will be future use for the crystals collected past the easily obtained crystals required for current content.

Regarding the fight module, you want to click through the battle at a conservative rate and use the rage bar as it completes, it allows you to more effectively survive the battles. Each enemy attack happens in 1 - 3 clicks depending on what they do. Rage bar can be used even when it's not your turn and fills up per 20 damage taken since last used (or the start of battle).

Also be mindful that there is a level cap of 4 (1500 xp) so be strategic in your allocation of points. When you have mostly blue gear you will fly through the hard dungeons.

The skills should cap at 100 so it is a bug, and it will be fixed. Seduction has no use at the moment, we will add related events and scenes in the future updates.

Good point on the text ghosting, will take a look at try to amend it.

Thanks for your feedback!

I admit, this is something we haven't considered when we created the tiers.
Added a $2 patreon tier to our page. (As far as I have checked $1 donation can be dropped anytime so we don't need a tier for that, correct me if I am wrong)

Good feedback, thank you.

Good observations, let me try to answer them one by one:

Turn order - Yup, that's valid we should add an indicator with a turn order to the combat screen. Added this item to our ToDo list.
Cheap death - It is a complex question, generally the more you level up, the more strategic the game should evolve. Will see how successful we can add this mechanism to the game but that is the direction we aim for. I have to admit cheap death can happen especially in the beginning. Please note that your Rage bar can be used any time, even in your opponent's turn so it can be a life buoy in such cases.
Translation - Since english is not our native language, there were some point when we have struggled with the translation. If you see parts, expressions which are really standing out, please let us know so we can correct them.

Again, thanks for your feedback!

Very nice. I liked it and it looks promising. I didn't find any problems, except for the skills (already mentioned above). Could have a variable for the prerequisite to unlock the warrior and the priestess. Because the warrior ask for you to clean Mines and the priestess, Catacombs...But if you spend sometime farming in only one, will unlock both with 60/80 respect.

The game is in Renpy, not Unity.

Some hints for those who are still going to play or are having difficulty fighting:
- Farm is always the way in rpg games like this. You don't need to try high-levels dungeons in the begin. Farm itens and respect.
- The skills (unitl now) only help in situations off-dungeons.
- Weapons that can cause bleeding and equipment that increase resistance against it are good for cleaning the mine.
- Weapons that can cause fire and equipment that increase poison resistance are good for cleaning the catacombs.
- The sex scenes will appear under your nose improvising the skills.

And I think that's all I remember.
