characters are enjoyable..premise is enjoyable..as i am not a dev or sumsuch..just an old smartass..my advice/opinion is to be taken with a grain of salt..BUT..i think what holds back the interest level is the sandbox aspect...i do not know if you've explored the site's games much or not..but what we'd really like is a VN with the orcs and ogres and warriors and barbarians etc etc..sandbox+D&D style just makes it feel like..an old D&D game..lol..i do not know if it is easier or harder to do as a VN or a sandbox..but VN's(with choices of course) are many levels more popular and would ramp up interest ALOT...there was a game with this style of setting..a VN..that was climbing fast in interest and was shown much love..but the Dev's i guess wanted money money money and it didnt come fast enough so they abandoned leaving alot of us very sad because we loved the game..we REALLY want a VN in this style..we are desperate as it fits in with alot of our interests..some of us have she-orc lust..LOL

Yeah previous saves will not work. I believe that's mentioned in the text at the beginning. From now on, that it's in beta, I will try make everything backward compatible. It was just going to be too much work for me while the game was in alpha and the core mechanics were still be reworked to try to keep things backward compatible.

I know replaying through content is a pain in the ass for players.

Good feedback. Yes I think VNs are more popular. The irony is they are also much easier to code then what I am trying to do. haha.

I will think about the idea of "pivoting" it into a VN. It's a good idea. I could probably reuse much of my comment.

My inspirations where probably damsels and dungeons (which I feel gets too bogged down with RPG) and Adam and Gaia.

I wanted RPG elements but keep them very light. maybe I am getting too carried away with them. That's why combat is so simple because I don't wnat to bog it down with all that.

Honestly, the game seemed quite interesting but having just put several hours into it only to get repeatedly fucked by the RNG I got tired of the savescumming aspect - which I needed to do in order to make any sort of progress. I've been repeatedly knocked out even after having the best gear available, I've had Jule not like dates... I can't find the cloth to get into the dwarf village and I've searched the library for that card for over an hour and not had any luck.

My advice is to either add enough RPG elements to support boosting equipment via gear and other things to boost the RNG or lower the damn RNG aspect.

EDIT: Maybe that's just my frustration talking though.

[botc76]

Well, after reading through the drama, this game is dropped.
No reason to waste time on a project that developed slowly, didn't offer anything particularly great.
No sex, so-so writing and renders.

 

[darkwolfpack]

[McWoodz]

1 can be found by searching the library, 1 from the hag at the tavern and 1 as loot from a fight in the forest

I am still actively working on the game. There are 5 sex scenes in it so far. Sorry you didn't like it.

You have to go through a certain dialog branch. I know this isn't consistent with how the other NPCs work. I am looking to change it when I get back to her.

The game has less randomness now and there will be more gear to help out as the game progresses.

Three things:
First, How do I grind up Strength and Dex? I've gotten to the point where I can train charm, fight, and intelligence, but I can't find trainers for the other two.
Second, How do you raise your max health? 15 just seems super squishy to me.
Finally, and this is just something I don't understand, if you do enough damage to kill your enemy, how can they possibly hit you in return? Seems strange.

Outside of those questions, solid game so far OP, good job.



EDIT: Health goes up naturally upon level up, and all stats increase by one. I guess I shoulda played some more before making my comment.

 

[MerricWolfe92]

Weird. That code should not have changed. I'll look into it.

I'm having the same problem with Helena, she said it was a perfect date, but the affection didn't rise.

Yes I don't have the characters where you can raise Strength and Dex yet. Those will be the Dwarf and Thief in the theifs guild. I know I need to get to it.

It's hard on a game like this because is there always sort of a missing piece until the game is totally done.

Glad you like it. so far.

 

[starboy66]

I'm having the same problem with Helena, she said it was a perfect date, but the affection didn't rise.

So you can have a "prefect date" but then you fail your charm roll.

So what happens is how good your date is makes your charm chance better but you can still miss the roll. After she says how good your date then she says if she liked it or not.

I probably should make it more clear like "Failed Charm Check". Thanks for your input.

I just did this. This should make it more clearer that you failed the charm roll.

Ohhhh, okay, I didn't know there was a charm roll after the date, that makes sense now. Thank you for the quick response. Now I don't feel as bad about it lol.
Also thank you for the quick response on the other questions/comments.
