Unreal Engine Kunoichi "Sword of the Assassin" [v1.3a] [Maiden Gaming]

[Arikania]

make a new account? or is it ip/card tied?

The point is that I need to pay for the game using PayPal. That's how they knew that it was me. I was banned from their League of Maidens communications on Steam before because I was - and still am - critical about using Denuvo in LoM.

Which is a pity, since I am a big fan of LoM actually.

yeah, Denuvo is shit and any company that uses it is shit, and does not deserve money

Okay with what? That their game being pirated? No, what dev are? This is a pirating site, the site as a whole does not care for permission from devs to upload their games.
If you are referring to something else, you will have to be more specific.

On the other hand, there's several games that I learned about on this site, and then purchased them on Steam. So, although this is technically a pirate site indeed, it does help devs to some promotion as well. Posting demo versions or previous versions over here could consititute a viable part of their sale strategy.

That being said, I do believe that most people use this site to come by games for free, especially since they are so expensive nowadays with the inflation and stuff.

Yes, some use it like that, but that is a small minority of the Western game devs. More or less all of the Asian ones probably don't even know of this site at all. And since most are EA, and not full releases or demos. People here do not feel like paying for something they don't even know will be A: good, B: finished at all, or C: fairly priced. I can however see some of the user base supporting the few that make really good EA games or if they are finished. But most things here are going to be pirated and never bought at all, so in most cases, especially if you don't see the dev in the comments here, they do not like this site.

... especially if you don't see the dev in the comments here, they do not like this site.

They don't like it, or don't even know about it. In Japan, however, this site appears to be well known indeed, considering how many of those Japanese production line RPGM's are spammed here. It makes it actually even hard to find decent "western" games that are not censored, and that are not stuffed with a range of sexual abuses.

Sometimes I think to myself that those Japanese devs should have their own site somewhere, so that we, the downloaders, are in a better position to omit them. Quite often, they conveniently forget to add the "censored" tag to their games.

This would be an ass idea, and it would only benefit a small amount of people who hate it, as most don't care. Just add the "Japanese game" tag as 90% of them are censored so the remaining 10% is not really a loss to you if you care that much. And devs have not made this site, pirates made this site for all things "adult games". They don't care if it's from the US, Japan, or Iran.

And it's the other way around, most of the Japanese devs don't know this site exists as they only are around sites in Japanese, they usually only find out if we the Westerners go there and tell them about it. There are a small amount that knows English well enough to have found this site organically and they usually try to get the links taken down or sue, even a smaller amount finds out and does nothing.

and what decent Western games? most Western games are shovelware shit that uses Daz and is made in Renpy or Real Porn in HTML. Those who try to actually make a game usually quit due to shit-throwing consumers or not getting enough money to continue. Most Western games that are of good quality rarely live longer than a year. And the few that started good and live long, usually end up just turning into an animation viewer with no gameplay or story. The few that pass all of those hurdles are less than 100.

This game is no less difficult than the Soulslike game. The attacks are varied and the bosses are hard to beat. The keyboard controls aren't easy to get used to, but then again it doesn't support a joystick! Ability values only increase a small amount at a time.
Still, the main character and theme of the game appealed to me too much.

So, this is torture.

Some pointers
1. Attempt to lure the ordinary foes one by one,

2. Use the Alt key extensively to dodge bosses. Right after that, pressing 1 to charge them is a good strategy,

3. Keep RMB pressed during fights; it greatly improves your defense,

4. Buy the Great Fish from the vendors with the green flasks over their heads, and drag those to the slot at the bottom, so that you can use them during fight by pressing MMB. I myself always make sure that I have like 15 on me before I engage in a fight.

Thanks for the suggestion, the boss's defense is too hard to break, is the red bar under the blood bar similar to the mech core's broken defense?

I think that it's his Stamina. The boss fights last long, they have a lot of health. But eventually, before either of his bars are empty, he dies. I myself don't quite understand it either, really.

 

[Reapergod36]

Can't wait to see if the game is any good game mechanics wise, when it gets sex scenes.

I think this game will be finished in heat death of the universe.

I think this game will be finished in heat death of the universe.

this is a side game they are doing besides their main game. It's gonna take forever to be made, if they even continue it. And seems like they have not really worked on it in the past few months as they have focused on some new major update for their other game. No news on this so they might have dropped it, tho I feel like they would have put out a statement about it if that were the case.

12 - [COMPLETE] Add stamina bar system for melee and other actions.
13 - [COMPLETE] Added damaged weapon warning for players that continued fighting with a damaged weapon that didn’t deal hardly any damage.
14 - [COMPLETE] Fixed level progress bar on the inventory page.
15 - [COMPLETE] Removed no sprinting while injured. Also updated the interface to make it clearer when a player is in the injured state.
16 - [COMPLETE] Increased the penalty for attacking neutral npcs to mission failure and loss of honor.
17 - [COMPLETE] Combat has been revamped and now includes guaranteed "Precision Strikes". A Precision Strike occurs when a player attacks an enemy at the right time after an attack has been dodged.
18 - [COMPLETE] Dual Swords have been deprecated. May bring them back at a later date.
19 - [COMPLETE] Fixed the starting balance of available funds for Vendors to buy items from the player.
20 - [COMPLETE] Made a change to the Shrine mechanic to now refill player HP instead of access Crafting.
21 - [COMPLETE] Block has been disabled for now. Currently too buggy. Players can use dodge instead as this is more in line with the combat we are developing.
22 - [COMPLETE] Heavy attacks have been moved from SHIFT+Right Mouse to just using Right Mouse Button.
23 - [COMPLETE] Made a change to allow players to access the Crafting UI from anywhere instead of having to visit the Shrine.
24 - [COMPLETE] Voice overs have been added for the story text scenes. Current voice overs are temporary and will be replace later.
25 - [COMPLETE] Increased the potency of each Attribute point by 10x to better affect player stats.
26 - [COMPLETE] Increased the number of Attribute points earned when leveling up to 10 instead of 5.
27 - [COMPLETE] Cosmetics and Resources loot drop system has been completely reworked to make cosmetics drops more frequent.

**Further clarification on the new looting system. Now all bosses have a chance to drop any cosmetics that are listed in the Crafting UI. That includes event mid-bosses. Yokai bosses have a chance to drop their own unique cosmetic set items (along with other items) but any other non-Yokai boss from any event can drop any cosmetic available to craft. Players can now choose to work towards crafting a cosmetic or gaining it from any boss they kill. The list of crafting/drop cosmetics has also been significantly increased.**

We've also guaranteed that each boss kill will drop at least one cosmetic, one weapon, mon/gold and one accessory.

28 - [COMPLETE] A ton more has been updated. We'll leave the list here so that it doesn't get too long.
29 - [COMPLETE] HURRAY!!! The Warroom is now FULLY FUNCTIONAL!

**With the change to the looting system players can expect to acquire way more cosmetics rewards during a gameplay session. With that being said it made sense to invest time into getting the warroom working. With that said now players have a massive number of slots within warroom storage to store all of their new cosmetics!!!**

5 - [COMPLETE] Bumped version number.

Updating the version number is worthy of a patch note?(?)
