Well on the subject of grinding yeah it would make the game too easy if you power through the content, but speaking from personal experience I will never buy info from the broker, I feel too anxious to even buy gear since I'm worried about not having money when I'll need it. That being said not buying any gear had me losing people in the mantis fight, and then I gave up on the fight since I wasn't sure everyone would get xp if they weren't awake, glad to see I can drag people along when they go down, but I'm getting the sense they wouldn't have if I had geared up properly beforehand.

The information broker is basically this game's equivalent of visiting the wikia article for another game. It'll tell you what an enemy is immune to, so you don't waste time casting a skill and wondering why it isn't working, and it'll tell you what elemental weaknesses the enemy is weak too, so you don't spend your time guessing. Not only that, but I think you're underestimating just how generous the information broker is, Gabbi gives you an antidote if you buy the information for the Mantis fight, and 30 gold when the rewards are ~500 is only 6%.

You really should be upgrading everyone's armor. In MG1,000 upgrading armor is as synonymous as levelling up itself.
The +15% Attack you get from the Tier 2 sets makes a huge difference, along with the other benefits.
In my testing playthrough I spent about 5,000 G and only had about 300 G when I finished, so certainly I'm not going to force a situation where an important piece of equipment is suddenly needed, because I wouldn't even be able to afford that myself!
And don't forget, you can sell old pieces of armor, and get 50% of that back, so you can see these as investments.

I was a bit worried at first that you couldn't grind, but in hindsight it brought a good challenge in actually beating fights. This partially-linear and partially-scripted (is that the right term to use here?) reminds me a lot of Monster Girl Quest, since how you control Luka is basically the same. It gives you options to travel to different locations on the world map, but the level requirements and the semi-linear order of battles made it a nice change, much like this game. The ability to buy equipment, potions etc in this game adds a new layer of challenges as you're not sure what to spend, but I like that too. I wonder if you drew inspiration from MGQ's gameplay? Looking at your profile pic, I'd say that's a likely possibility xD

Where can I find the previous episodes? Or is that like a version number and everything is included with this download?

Binged this yesterday, the quality of this game and interest in the Ochaco game definitely earned my patreon support. I figured I'd leave feedback, as I'm excited for more. Sorry for the wall of text, I like to be thorough.

Gameplay: Actually pretty fun. I saw a discussion on armor and money and I'll agree that it can feel like there's a ton of pressure early on in how expensive upgrades are, and not knowing when/if you should buy your upgrades. Still I managed to get through with only 2 people having tier 2 armor. Combat at current state feels balanced and fair, and I got through without ever buying info and only game-overing once (It was Davy fight. One character got nuked hard and I just let myself die so I could restart and buy the water accessories). Would like to see more options in combat over time, but right now it's a really strong foundation that I enjoyed for the most part.

Plot: Actual plot is pretty tongue and cheek with enough serious moments to keep it from feeling like a complete parody/comedy. I usually didn't feel like I was being given too much exposition at once, and I am 90% confident I understand general plot and character motivations right now. I like the current direction of the story, though I hope it doesn't go to the realm of absolute monstrosity some parts of late MGQ3 hit. The justification for the harem feels a bit like a handwave, but takes it self seriously enough to be believable.

Girls: So far I like the variety of girls as far as looks go. On the personality side, I like the general attitude that everyone so far is enthusiastic in consent and the writing hasn't stooped as low as "Oh, you saved me from a mild inconvenience, I'll give you my whole life". Even the ones appealing to an audience I'm not a part of (example, I'm not a fan of the werewolf girl, being mostly just ok with full furry girls and not a fan of pet play) I still liked to a decent degree. All the girls feel unique in design and personality. On specific girls, I like Ray for her slow build up and cuteness. Nice change of pace from the usual boner-jumping girls. Bessie is adorable and I think the writing for her, her predicament, and her growing conflict are handled well. I think it'd be great if you could bring along a rotating 4th character to build relationship/have the waifu around, but I understand if that's just a lot of extra variables to account for in writing that wouldn't be worth the massive effort. I guess what I'm trying to get to here is though the girls are drawn sexy and written horny, they are treated with respect as characters rather than just porn objects, and that's fantastic.

Conclusion: Game's pretty fun even without the porn aspects, and even if it was just an ecchi/tease game I'd still probably play and have fun with it. Girls are sexy and well written, and I'll be looking forward to every release.

Put a couple of hours into it yesterday and I liked it so far. Some thoughts;

- Some enemies could really use a damage nerf, like the Mantis fight in Misty Woods. The grounded one does an attack on the first turn, that hits all allies dealing about 75% of your HP as damage and poisons them all. Considering this is at a point where you don't have access to a multi-heal spell, it feels a bit harsh. (you may have an item that heals your entire party, but I'd rather not waste it at this point) Had to re-do that one multiple times before I won.

- Faces of the townspeople can take a bit to load when scrolling through the menus. Though that might be because my PC is getting up there in years.

- Sadly this is one of the games where I get the RPGM screen freeze bug, but since you can save anytime you want to, it wasn't that big of a deal.

Anyway keep up the good work, I'll keep an eye on this.

My only real gripe with the game is. There any chance of making the MC look cooler maybe give him some real practical looking armour maybe like some some full plate armour maybe.

This was a minor issue for me, but even with a pretty recently bought gaming laptop, the faces of townspeople took a bit too load for me as well. So I don't think it's just your PC being old
