[Makura cover soft] Dungeon and Bride

[sludgebucketboy]

First version i tried i was able to start the game and by the time i left the 1st city already could register a party with 2 custom characters from the guild and advanced lvl to boot. that version bricked soon after so i'm guessing that the capability of carried data from the demo might have caused issues one way or another.. I even see the "cave of experience" dungeon completely empty of everything and i don't thing that was supposed to be like this.

I can really only imagine how nonfunctional the game was a month or two ago, because it released and it's barely even functional at all. I've played probably about 20-30 hours of it and gotten pretty deep into the story, but there is a ridiculous lack of quality control. You can enter dungeons way too early and complete them, but that soft locks you because you opened a chest/defeated the dungeon boss and the item didn't drop because you accept the quest, but you can't get the boss or chest to respawn, and there's more than one instance in which I entered a dungeon without a item I needed, got stuck and didn't have the item I needed to get unstuck, making the hour or so of dungeon crawling before hand completely worthless.
I'm not like a casual, I love blobbers and have played dozens of much harder games of this exact type, so it's not a skill issue or a dig at the game's lack of direction or the obtuse things you need to do to progress, which is a staple in this genre; there's kind of a capital sin in the current state: you seem to be punished with softlocks and game breaking bugs for exploring in the exploring adventurer dungeon crawling game.
I would really, really recommend to everyone on the fence or just starting to muscle through with Mtool/shitty japanese ability to just wait for the translation patch and whatever patches the dev puts out between then and now, as the lack of ability to understand what's going on only compounds the effect of the game's massive amount of bugs.

¿Alguien podría decirme cómo encontrar el fuerte de los kobolds? Estoy atascado y no sé cómo llegar.

Anybody still losing items? Lost a really good dagger

Alright, where is the hot spring again? I know I don't have the tickets, but I remember passing it lots in the demo and legit have forgotten where it is. Spent 15-minutes looking and have found nothing. It's really bugging me, so I want to know for later.


I can pretty much garuntee the Pure Love Route refers to the generated heroines rather than Riselle. Riselle doesn't even have marriage events or CG according to dataminers. She's a tutorial for how this game does NTR. Like that guy posted earlier, it's a cannon event Miles.

Edit: Knew it. Here's the google-translated(Slightly cleaned up) Pure Love Guide. DWARF LOVERS BEWARE, YOUR DOOM IS CERTAIN AND UNAVOIDABLE!

I wonder why he specified as of 1.05 for Dwarf, does he plan to make it possible eventually? and if so why wasn't this on release?

We got to the first date, is the author really so cruel that he will destroy this cuteness?

it's literally how the dev operates yes. Gets you hook, line, and sinker on a heroine that has pre-existing attachment to the MC, then the antagonist comes in and steals her. This happens in every. Single. Game. Leane 2 was an exception cuz players protested that the first girl you get to work to liking you gets taken with no means of preventing it and they got upset enough the dev made it possible to avoid.

Leane 1 was especially cruel, in that the main character's fiance gets taken, and after spending enough time captive with the antagonist, falls for him to the point where even in her ending where you rescue her, she still is in love with the antagonist lmao. There's a reason she's not named "Leane" like the title, though.

EDIT: Honestly my biggest problem is you can't class Liselle. I'm stuck running either playing catch up for one mage to cover her after her absence, or running two mages/sorcerers to cover for her inevitable absence.

Another big issue I have is that pre-made characters and unique characters in general lose special skills/abilities if they change classes. The MC can get Counter regardless of what class he starts out as, but IMMEDIATELY loses it if he changes out. So you're heavily encouraged to keep him in a bulky/caster class that can utilize melee and spellcasting effectively and just NEVER change out of it.

Same with the first pre-made Human Fighter; starts with Protect. Insane tank skill; loses it immediately on class change. At least you can't lose spell slots so the pre-made Elf is eternally useful, as is the pre-made Sylph.

Need help: Anyone found 2 more of the Wild Bull bases?

 

[SonaGate]

So, what was the favourite food of every character? I have them at 100 trust and I still can't progress affection with them

Please tell me that's not that first girl that finds you washed ashore and you live with her for a while.

Never mind, she's in 2 and you were talking about 1.

So, for the gnome prologue thing: There are apparently bandits in the bottom of Landon Canyon and i assume if you fall off and find and kill them it clears the flag? it's hidden behind a bunch of trees in a corner. It doesn't cause an actual scene unlike the other NTRs. Also the event causes your game to explode if you open the love tab thereafter because it's fucked and i had to manually patch that out. It still might cause other mechanical issues. .


Also, the item requirements are Mystic Eye scroll (misty island mage guy sells it, also required for some puzzles and the cheating wife quest) or spell for human, ladder for Elf (to take the shortcut, the elf actually has two scenes depending on what happens). Events trigger in Sapphire city once you have 7 gems and in one case if the Orc Den quest isn't active.

 

[fuccboi2008]

The fact that you are hanging around , counting how many playing the game and commenting bs tells me that it's your frustration talking for wanting to play it and you can't...
In the land of free no pity for the wickied i suppose

I'm not counting and yeah I wanna play this dang game, but I'm waiting for a more "proper" translation.

For elves it was the 2nd option in the snow village.
For Max it's beer in noob town.

Funny you mention that; that's the heroine I'm referring to that made players protest to the dev to change how the NTR worked. Cuz poor Sierra kept getting stolen.

 

[illya keleido]

is there english patch?

Wait, what counts as the "prologue"? Is it only when you're going through that area for the first time before reaching Sapphire City?

It would be...very sad if I already can't do anything to stop this ;_;

I just beat the golem near saphire city and got the second gem from the retired adventurer guy and have no idea how to progress; everything seem locked.

Also, how to the mermaid swimsuit work? I've equipe my characters with it, I have the fish icon, but I can't seem to be able todo anything near any body of water.

how did you access to Image file?

You can use GARBro to access any of the .xp3 files and extract whatever file you want. The event CGs are inside evimage.xp3 in the main area of the game folder. I don't know yet how to compress the files back into an .xp3 once you finished if you ever wanted to mod or translate though so you'd have to ask someone else if you are interested in that.

There are other images used in other situations throughout the other .xp3 files. The .scn files that contain the text of the game (or rather, the text that isn't on images like the signs) can be opened with Notepad++ after extracting using GARBro.

A 4-star review detracting point for the ambiguity of instructions. (Personally, this was the one aspect that attracted me to the game. The old-timey RPG feel back when you had to wander all over the place to discover secrets and next steps, kinda like a Metroidvania, instead of just railroaded "go to next marker")

Honestly same. I loved the feeling in the demo modded to contain more of the game of just exploring every inch of every map, trying to find even more hidden spots and special items and such. It was so much fun to me.

it's literally how the dev operates yes. Gets you hook, line, and sinker on a heroine that has pre-existing attachment to the MC, then the antagonist comes in and steals her. This happens in every. Single. Game.

I don't believe it happens in the martial artist game. The closest thing is that there is some unavoidable groping. Technically speaking the sub-character third route was taken by an antagonist before the game started, but she isn't one of the two main girls of the game and was only added as a route in a post-release patch. She also doesn't get NTR'd if you do get on her route. You are right that the dev likes that approach for most of their games though.

 

[The NTRtainer]

I really have to wonder why so many of you are playing a game with with a bad MTL that has so much reading and requiring being able to follow written instructions.

What I really have to wonder is what the purpose of you being in this thread is in the first place, seems like a huge waste of your own time.

 

[~Xai~]

It's on the first floor as hinted by the game (just look around on the pathway)
The bigger issue is the key, which i will spoil because it's in a very specific spot and the game tells you nothing about it. it's between 0-1 (horizontal) at 11 (vertical) on the 8th floor and you get it by spamming the search function.

There is actually a hint to it in the town, if you use mind read warehouse
