I only found this game today. At this point how close is the game to actually being complete? The story starts of right away with a 'collect 4 mcguffins then go fight the big boss'.
Is that part actually completed in the game yet or am I going to find 1 mcguffin then an end-of-content placeholder?
I REALLY like the content I've seen so far so I don't want to be disappointed if the content runs out much faster than I'm hoping.
The main story is not complete at this moment and the game is far from being complete. As of right now, the main story is more of an excuse to explore and meet several potential romantic partners rather than a truly epic quest to save humanity. Of course, this could change as the story develops, but right now there is a much larger focus on the individual stories of the various characters you meet rather than on the quest to fight the Demon Queen.
Right now it is possible to explore 5 main story locations, the Mystic Forest, the Forest Dungeon, the Mountains, the Will-Power Temple, and the Caverns as well as obtain two of the sigils. The remaining main story locations are the Labyrinth, the Monster Girl Capital, the Casino/Dungeon of the Capital, the Desert, the Pyramid, possibly the wasteland around the Demon Queen's Castle, and then the Demon Queen's Castle. There are also going to be side quest areas with their own quest lines such as the Elven Village and the Harpy Village. As for how complete this game is in total, it is likely between 20% and 25% complete at the moment. The version number could be viewed as something of a percent complete marker, but given some of the recent scope increases on updates, a giving a little leeway to this would not be remiss.
While this title is still in its alpha stages, it does have a great deal of content to explore. My post
here covers a large number of relationships available in game and breaks them down by location as well other subjects such as optional boss fights and this
post elaborates upon some of that content and mentions a new relationship added since the first list.
Then there are three more potential relationships with
Galvi the Voltin who is found in the Inn at nights and caters to the shortstack fetish and also mentions breeding, Beris the Hellhound who is also found in the Inn during nighttime hours and subverts expectations given she is a massive sub and into being on the receiving end of bondage, and Venefica the Bunny-girl Witch who is found in a new quest in the Mystic Forest and is a dominant character with content such as findom, stepping, milking, and the like but also has some content with broader appeal as well and she is also estimated to be 70% complete and is primarily missing her mainline relationship content. So there is already a great deal of content to indulge in with a large amount still to come.
I do hope that you give this title a chance and that you find this informative,
MrCrazy123. There is an upcoming balance patch that will change things around, so you could choose to play now if you'd like to provide any feedback on these changes or you can wait until this update arrives and have a fresh experience with only the new balance to consider.
Now in terms of general update news, it looks like work on the v23 balance update has started in earnest. One new feature that will arrive with this update will be the ability to respec in the event you would like to try a new build without starting over or if you made a mistake. You'll be able to reallocate your stat points, change your sensitivities, and even reassign your level up perks but you will retain any event perks, stat changes, and the like. For existing saves, you'll be able to get one respec for free, but future respecs or respecs on new saves will have a cost. Respeccing also will not be immediately available in Town, but the method to unlock the service has not been revealed yet. Elena, Elly, Lillian, or the Statue of Venereae are being considered as the vendor to offer the respec service.
An exploit was closed and it will no longer be possible to purchase a perk while leveling up without having the necessary stat points spent, so it will not be possible to allocate points to one stat without spending them, purchase a perk that has a stat point requirement, and then remove those points and actually spend them in a different stat.
The Eros economy has not been examined yet, but it is planned to be examined and adjusted. Eros drop rates will likely be revised as a part of this. Experience has already been looked at with all enemies level 20 and higher, including those who get buffed up to it by events that increase their level such as Mika, have had their exp drops increased from about 50-100, and those in the 40+ range were increased even more. Vili for example had her exp drop increased from 350 to 600, Sofia's third fight had its exp drop increased from about 900 to 1500, and even Jora has had 100 points added to the experience she awards if you decide to fight her
you monster.
Another change is that a number of level up perk requirements have been altered. They are also now in cleaner brackets, but this information is meta-game information not mentioned in game. Tier 0 perks require no stats, or levels, with a few exceptions requiring 10 of a stat, Tier 1 perks require either level 20, 20 of a stat, or both, Tier 2 perks require either level 40, 40 of a stat, or both, Tier 3 perks require either level 60, 60 of a stat, or both, and so on and so forth (so Tier 4 would hit 80 and Tier 5 would be 100). Stats from gear no longer contribute to being able to earn perks, to help with this, it will be possible to see your base stats as well as your enhanced stats from gear and such.
In addition to this, a few skills are being removed, notably Glamour given Moxie exists and the fact that Glamour allows Willpower to effectively be an Allure build as well without actually investing in the stat. There are also new skills incoming such as a number of unrevealed skills for Power. Skill categories are also being looked at so there may be a category for say buffs and healing so that the Magic category is not so cluttered. There was also an icon for Willpower Up, so take that as you will.
Gear and perks no longer factor into stat cap calculations, so you can actually level a stat up to 100 while perks and gear can allow you to exceed 100 while gear that lowers stats won't allow you to further invest in the stat to raise it back up to 100 with the penalty and then remove the gear to boost a stat over the cap of 100, closing another exploit. Damage scaling from stats has also increased now as well.
Stats have been altered some as well receiving new traits to increase and Willpower's conflicting identity has been fixed, but no more details on the latter for now. The stats will have more fleshed out identities however as Power and Allure have received the ability to increase Critical Hit Damage with the formula being ((Stat) * 0.525 - 2.5). Willpower will not be as essential for rolls, but that has not been implemented yet. Power has been stated that it will perform about on par with Technique, so that will be a significant buff for Power. Technique will be nearly unchanged, but may have small differences like not as strong of a scaling for Critical Hit Chance given it has a skill that increases Critical Hit Chance. One stat, not mentioned which one, will increase the duration of status effects positively. As a final notable change mentioned so far, any stat with its base at the 100 stat point cap will have any effects that last for a single turn such as Power's potent damage buff Power Up! or single turn stuns such as that from Willpower's Electrify will now last an extra turn. So you will be able to benefit from Power Up! for 2 turns at 100 Power or stun for 2 turns with Electrify.
Do note that not all of the changes are being revealed so that there will be surprises when the update does arrive. Some elements are also going to be tentative and subject to further changes based on feedback or how well they perform in testing while other changes will be more permanent and likely to stay.
I believe this was everything mentioned thus far and I hope that everyone interested in this information finds this useful.
