Well, hello there!

Looks like you've stumbled across our weekly DevUpdate, and we'd like to share a silly little dad joke with you:
What's a mermaid's favourite part of the playground?
....
The sea saw!



But, as always, we tend to combine jokes with useful information, like the news about the latest release!

What's with the catalysts?
In season 3, the blue combat bolt one inflicts like 80-90% damage to my own stamina bar, while the minotaur receives 0 most of the time. No matter if the concentration is full or partially.
My Combat Bolt is currently at 267.
I guess training the stun spell is more helpful to receive less unfair crit damage by the mino. No idea if the stun chance actually improves by spellpower. I guess not?

Looks like you really have to stop at 100% concentration to prevent a backfire. Somehow worked better for me another time later.

so we can all agree that haley is the best female design on this site, right?

It's a bit more complicated than that. The devs make polls sometimes on the Patreon page. This provides a few insights, but nothing totally conclusive.

For example, back in march, before Season 3 ended, there was a poll about choosing between six characters the ones you wanted more content with. Here are the results : Dakota 554 votes, Haley 477, Ashley 371, Samantha 310, Grace 222 and Gabriella 137.

Dakota had the lead and Haley was second, probably because lots of people want more content with Dakota while Haley has been there since the beginning. So, there is a strong Haley following, no surprise here, and players want more of her, but apparently also want something new, involving Dakota.

Note that there are no global polls involving ALL characters, only polls with characters being roughly in the same "category"(there is another poll involving MILF characters, for example, with Victoria and Sabrina at the lead, and a third one for the new students appearing in season 3, led by June and Eva). We could compare votes, and discover that Victoria got the most compared to everyone in every poll (585 votes), but since there has been no global poll, yet, it's difficult to make something from that.

Also, some characters were left out of the polls, likely because their place in the storyline changed (Lily for example) and they're no longer around to fool with, or because the devs and the most contributing patreons - who have additional voting power - talked about them in the backroom and felt they had to be set aside.

Well, there is also the fact that the devs have been blueballing us with Dakota for around 2 seasons now. I have a feeling she has become a fan favourite simply because of all the built up tease. That, and ice queen goth girl types are always welcome.

I have never seen this 'active catalyst' icon appear. Just finished latest version. Can beat the Minotaur with no potions but have never been offered the ability to use the very expensive catalysts... ongoing sandbox bug or skill issue?

Man the models and renders are fantastic, the world itself is pretty solid and the story isn't too bad either. But christ I keep coming back to this every few updates and I can never get past the dialogue. I realize it's probably a case of english not being the devs first language and I get it but the dialogue is incredibly stiff. Especially during intimate scenes and it just takes me out of it. Game's got some solid scenes but I can't bring myself to keep trudging through the text.

A catalyst could blend too well with the environment while inactive, but these should be there on the right.
I've started the series recently, so no idea if some older versions could have messed up something during season transfers. I purchased only the blue CB catalyst which was enough to beat the bull during S3 once. For all the other duels and the JF tournament, increasing only CB spellpower is really enough as well.

Bear in the Night -
Found a weird typo that I thought you might be interested in. During Season 2, while interrogating Beatrice in the dungeon for the first time, when you ask about the Overlord, you say this -



Not sure I wanna know what it means to "coppurt" something, but sounds worse and more menacing than corrupt!

Anybody knows when Naomi will be back.

Click on the door in your bedroom that looks like it leads to a closet. I forget at what point in Season 3 that door enables Divine Pleasure though.

Hey mate, what Season you are in..?

 

[ShinoSilviu]

anyone can tell if transfering save file from s2 to s3 will keep my money and spellpower? im using scrapy mod for those so i could enjoy the story and choices without thniking about those, but i cant fin any mod for season 3

 

[zandervon]

never used a mod, but since money and spellpower are just a few numbers, they likely are taken and transferred as is from the save to season 3, no matter how you got so rich or powerful. Unless the transfer script was specifically designed to counteract the mod by being able to detect how those numbers are made, which is very very unlikely imho.

Mate, this game is freaking odd while transferring the saving season file.What version of S2you played? S2-12.1d version s compatible to transfer the saved file to S3 v10.1d( it does have Scrappymod if not download to add on) hope, it ll work. Happy Gaming!

Developers should have to make it more easy for user/fans in this section! Most of fans of Lust Academy game having same issue and they been played stand alone in S2-3. And their shorter version update of S4 was not worth to release but they had released that for their huge fans, followers! hopefully, Bear in the Night-Developers(Bear in Night Developers are dedicatedly fast working team with good cinematography/fine tune rendering/SFX)will release it's S4f version soon, and cease out those lacks in previous version and making the S4 more worth to play.
