The fuck? Thought this was abandonware.
Oh, absolutely not. Trust me, this game is alive and well. Being remade, of course, but Zell's still out there doing wonders.
I start the game and my game is halfway started and my tutorial has already been passed and I don't know how to access many things. Why is this?
It's a tech demo, or at least that's the best term I have for it. A good chunk of the primary elements are finished, but most everything linked to progression is still...no pun intended, a work in progress. Trust me, it'll get better eventually.
You have to set up the game files in a specific way for it to work proprely right?. Someone already made a comment telling how to do it, but maybe we can get in the main post?
The main post hasn't been updated in a while, at least last I checked, so that might be asking a bit much. The important thing is, do YOU know how to do it? If not, I can explain here so you don't have to search for it, but as long as you know and can help others if they need it, it'll have to do.
I never actually tried to really capture anything in the demos before, how do they actually work/how many are actually implemented thus far? I know some work like the elf, mushroom, yelling girl (idk what her name is), and ant girls, but so far everything else I've tried has been a mystery. The achievements tab would be a good guide as it occasionally gave some clue as to what to do, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make it show things other than just question marks for everything. And do the skills work either? I can't seem to get the yell to work at all.
The Tribe girl, still mushrooms, ant girls, and Yamabiko (the shouting lady, check the achievements for that) are all capturable for sure. But the Kappas (the turtle ladies) and Mashira (the third boss, fightable through the third light gate to the right after you enter the pink one all the way on the left of the starting area) are also capturable. The slime girl, hopping mushroom girls, orc girls and orc boss are all undetermined at the moment. I do believe there may be a way to capture them, but I have no idea right now, so for now, we're stuck. Also, the skills do not seem to work yet. The only one that would is the slime one, but that requires that you capture the slime girl, and...yeah.
Also, bonus bit. While doing some testing to make sure I had Yamabiko's name right (by fighting her again), I found out that she has an instant win condition after her 2nd phase starts, similarly to how the ants have an alternate way to trigger their "capture sequence", so to speak. Normally, you need to beat her, masturbate in front of her to get her excited, then smack her butt to make her capturable. Turns out you can actually pull that off early, at the cost of a little health. If you get her to her 2nd phase, get charmed, break out of the charm, then quickly smack them buns while she's still presenting them (the same way she would if you did the first method), then you can instantly defeat her AND make her capturable in one fell swoop. Handy for speedrunners or those who despise trying to deal with all the yelling.
Was Shiro no Yakata finished? Is it here, or in another thread? I can't seem to find it.
Someone has it in this thread, if I remember correctly. You might have to look for it by keyword though, "Zell" will probably be your best shot. It was unfortunately left behind so that the dev could focus on this game alone and make it as good as they possibly could. It's not impossible that they go back to it as well, but for now, what's in that MEGA file is all you're gonna get, so enjoy what you can.
