I wouldn't worry about it, some of the best parts of this game involve losing fights and there's no huge penalty for a loss anyway.
I see, thanks for the reply ! I was worried I was locking myself out of the game by not understanding how I should play.
Losing fights give some awesome scenes to read too, so I'm glad the game isn't super hardcore with the death penalty. it makes me less tempted to reload a save where I die, which is great
The only penalty for losing is a gain in sensitivity and fetishes which you can return to normal via praying at the church, and you might even get some EXP from losing if you have the right perk. You don't really need to reload if you lose unless you're like, super strapped for cash or something.

My advice if you're finding the beginning of the game challenging would be to make sure you're taking advantage of the 'Analyze' skill sold by the mage girl in the guild, since that turns fights into easy mode, and to 100% every area before you progress to the next one; if you clear entire areas like that, you tend to out-level most of the enemies in the next area.
I wouldn't recommend losing tooooo much in the beginning, since you can be strapped for cash at that point and praying away sensitivities and fetishes can get pricey if you're not keeping an eye on it. Worst case scenario, you can spam working at Vivian's place during the day and sleeping at night so you don't accumulate fetishes/sensitivities through working events. It's slow, but if you spam it for a few minutes (use Ctrl key to skip text), you should be able to pay off prayer prices and get back to adventuring.
Also, if you feel inclined, go to the wiki linked in the first post and download some of the mods, they're pretty fun and creative and they let you accumulate more exp and money in between the main storyline quests/fights. It's all about personal preference when it comes to mods, just read about each one and experiment a bit.

I've been trying to play bamboo road, but when i go to the map this appears. It says that it couldn't find the png in it's folder, but when i checked it is there... anybody know how to fix it?

Yeah the game sometimes need you to grind some exp if you want to match though opponents like the oni sisters.
I found that Nara was a good opponent if you want to do some exp grind sessions.

Jora is the best xp grind bar none, you can just sit there and spar over and over again. If you're playing an allure-based build, it takes an attack or two to defeat her without even taking meaningful damage.

You may have one of the following problems:
- Are you playing on PC? Then make sure the game's main folder isn't nested in many subfolders of the local drive, I mean, move the game's main folder as closer as possible to the local drive's root directory. This same problem happened a while back with one of Venefica's combat moves, and since it was part of the vanilla game, Threshold uploaded a fix to it for lazy people who couldn't move the game folder themselves.
- Are you playing on Android, and using the mod for the first time? Probably you didn't install the mod completely, I posted (and re-posted) Android modding instructions a few weeks ago, search the last pages of this thread because you have to copy the mod folder to a second folder in order for the images to show properly.
EDIT: in the next post I'm gonna publish the mod installing instructions for Android one last time (in a format in which it can be easily found by using the thread's search function), then I'll put a link to such post in my signature, for even easier access.

Monster Girl Dreams - Android version
Mod installing instructions (WORKS FOR VERSIONS v25.1a AND LOWER):
1 - After downloading the mod, go to your app storage (mine is internal storage, but you could use an external SD card to install apps)
2 - Now go to Android/data/monstergirldreams.program/files/
3 - In there, create a folder named "Mods", and other named "game". Inside "game", create another "Mods" folder. Mods/ will be used for the mods' images and music, while game/Mods/ will be used by the rest of the mods' data.
4 - To make things easier for you (there's a harder way, which saves a bit of storage space, but I won't post it here), do the same as me: grab the mod's folder, put it in game/Mods/ (WITH ALL ITS CONTENT), then copy such mod's folder to Mods/.
5 - Make sure that you load a save in town, in case you could run into any errors. Also, when you load a game after adding/removing a mod, the first action you do on the game screen (like, for example, go adventuring or enter the church) will take a long time to perform, I guess it's because the game needs to load/unload a mod's content as soon as it detects a change in the mods list, which (I think) is checked at every valid click you do. So don't worry about your game "freezing", it should unfreeze in less than half a minute.
Vanilla images replacing instructions:
1 - Grab the set of images you want to replace vanilla ones with. As an example I'll be using the Elf images, which set I used to discover this method. Keep in mind that:
. You have to use the same names in order for the vanilla images to be properly replaced
. If you don't replace an image from the set, don't worry, the game won't crash, it'll use the vanilla version instead when that image has to be shown (though is weird to see an Elf's outfit change into a bikini and vice versa between her attacks)
2 - In Android/data/monstergirldreams.program/files/game/, create an images/ folder. Depending on the image (or images) you want to replace, create the corresponding nested folders. In my case, starting from game/, it's images/Monsters/Elf/. You may need to either extract the .apk to an auxiliary folder or download the PC version in order to see which are the corresponding nested folders for your set of new images.
3 - Copy to the last folder you created under images/ (Elf/ in my case) your new set of images.
4 - You're now good to go, the good thing about replacing vanilla images is that the game won't temporarily freeze like it happens after normal modding, so you can test your new images right away. Enjoy!

Well, afaik the Mac version is meant for Mac PC's, so check out my suggestion about the game being played on PC.
EDIT: I've never used a Mac device (neither seen how it's used), so beg my pardon if I used Windows/Linux exclusive terms (perhaps Mac OS works in a very different way than those other two OS; as I said, I don't know almost anything about Mac).
I'm not sure if threshold has or not, but if the answer is yes I assume it would probably be on Patreon rather than here.

I don't follow development closely enough to know if it has happened, but there is a suggestion channel on the discord that Threshold would occasionally reply to, so we know he's at least seeing them.
As for polls and such on Patreon, not really. The last couple have been about what you use to play (pc or mac, etc.), opinions on the sleep and dream system, and opinions on CGs that show the MC (skin or silhouette, etc.).

Probably late December / mid-late January. Threshold "working" on labyrinth(maybe).
