aww dang this game was so good on a card game related to growth aspects there isnt alot of games like this this is very unique card based adult game related to growth
Like sure if you are talking about card game itself with growth mechanic built-in, but the interaction and the feedback for your growth is little to none. (Nevermind that how sluggish the game plays out)

You don't really get all that much flavor text that provides suggestion for your growth beyond the PC monologue in the mirror one-liner.

Your growth don't even have all that much effect on the world and gameplay. The world never respond to your height appropriately and neither deos the gameplay, not even increased HP. Almost no card or mechanics that scales with your height in a game thats all about height growth as I mentioned previously which undermined the premise itself.

I understand that niche fetishes content are so limited that we essentially scrapping the barrel at this point, but I think we should still uphold ourself and media to a better standard, otherwise nothing will get better.

The context of your comment on NickSav is fixing thing and referring to the game being a test build is replying to a comment about the game balancing which in this case, overtuned hp scaling.

And as far as I am aware of, there hasnt been any meaningful update that address the issue since then and with people going back to v8.6
...My post was for a personal issue I was having related to using older saves (that I've since deleted). Where was I talking about game balancing...?

It was referring to the fact that you are using it being test build as if its a justification for its egregious implementation. READ


No it is completely intentional.


I am pretty sure at this point he has moved on to his new project called uh project F.A.T. or something according to his later patreon post.
Nick never said he was abandoning the game, even cited things he was tweaking/working on he acknowledged needed work. But feel free to assert things because you causally skim dev posts while browsing kemono. :HideThePain:

Nothing he was gonna work on Rivalry is gonna be substantial enough to push the game forward meaningfully at this point after this many updates yet has failed to address the fundamental issue of the game.

Yes he never explicitly stated it but surely you are aware that working on a new title means that less likely that existing content getting update.

It is still getting looked at. So don't assume when you don't know. I know there are a lot of inherent issues. As someone how has a full time job and only gets an hour or two here and there to do work on the game, it takes time.
I'm well aware of bad balance in a lot of enemy battles and some mechanics. I'm just one person.

A couple things to try... i was able to fix the sluggishness ... but feel like the "growth" was corrupted. anyways
either run it in performance mode
(search box, graphics settings, browse, add game.exe, click nwjs, click options, set to high performance)

or

in DX9
download the windows sdk ( Windows 10 SDK for Fall Creators Update)or
searth box: dxcpl
add game to the direct2d list.

not sure what fixed it, but game runs like butter otherwise... maybe too fast. less glitchy.. .still some glitches.

....

And if you meant slow progression. Well... yes and no. if you're able to save up enough for fairy cards. There are some infinite growth decks you can build. Once you have enough height you can use that to purchase whatever you might need. My guestimate for how to cheese the game is a growth deck, combined with a rival shrink deck, The plan is to shrink all rivals way more than they can grow regardless of win or loss. thus putting them out of the competition. This should' Should remove the rivals that are really annoying who place all the bombs in your deck and stuff. But that is just a theory of how you could cheese it.

winning the competition hasnt been the point of the game for a long time.

if you can build a deck to beat the hidden bosses you're long past the power level needed to crush valeria.

beating valeria is actually a terrible thing as it ends the game and makes you redo all the quests again.

Fair enough, Also if you want to speed up progression I suggest MTool. Kills the need to spend 40 +hours grinding. If you hate grinding like I do.

Is there some hidden method to get Celestia to drop a card?
I've done her 4 times in a row, once even draining her height below -200, and all it does is kick me off the island and make her bigger for the next encounter

there is not. you farm her minions so she stops regening height, then beat her over and over (10x or so) and eventually she starts losing height and surrenders the devorah card

oh, the amount of minions you stomp affects her post-battle height-gain? that explains why she kept gaining even when i drained her to nothing. i stopped farming cultists after the first couple days of it since i thought it wasn't doing anything. most of hte onese i fought were negative by then, even.

E: went back and htat's basially what did it. farmed cultists until they were all at about -200+ and then on fight no like 7 celestia forked it over

Yeah, but it isn't updated on Kemono, so for now, no access to V10

I was cleaning out my MEGA storage since it was filling up and i may have accidently deleted the older archives.

Honestly, 8.6 is far more stable than version 9 ever was. I would play that if you wanted to.

Yeah, honestly I don't like playing V9, no alliance system and the succubus island is glitched..And about MEGA, yeah, all the older versions of the game got deleted, I wanted try the V6 but I haven't found it on MEGA. (I had to search about an hour to find it on strange websites :coffee:)
