I fixed the crashing on startup it by going into registry and deleting the RGSS3 stuff
Oooh, so it was something really obvious all this time...

If the game tries to go fullscreen before launching, that means you had already configured other RPG Maker games to do so, and since all RPGM games share the same settings, that was causing an incompatibility with my "max resolution code" which other games don't have.

I'll keep trying to fix this one.

I have the same issue, its just this one. It flickers into fullscreen on startup, then goes to windowed mode and shows a black screen for a few seconds before closing. This is on Windows 10 with a native 1920x1080 resolution.
havent tried that one but i tried 640x480 and i got the same thing
Delete What?
Hmm... I have version c, still doesn't start up. It tries to fullscreen automatically for a second before shrinking to a small, black square window, before disappearing a few seconds later. No error or anything. I can run other games just fine, RPGMaker games included.
Alright guys, I think I have found the easiest solution to this problem (still I'll have to find a way to solve the incompatibilities).

Right when the game is booting up, press F1 as fast as you can when it tries to go Fullscreen. Then disable the "Launch on Full Screen" option, since that's the main problem. Let the game crash one more time, and you'll be ready to go!

Good luck.
Finally a game which isn't generic like most other H-Games.
And as a person who loves to play osu!, I can't wait for some new songs.

Thank you! I'll try licensing songs like Conflict or Freedom Dive when I reach a higher patrons amount.

Uhm from the screenshots it really looks like this game uses character designs from forest of blue skin. Just checking that's legit right? Not plagiarism?

Well those are pretty basic monster girls design, probably the Bunny Girl is somewhat similar to Zell's, but the Slime is as basic as she could be. I based them off Monster Girl Encyclopedia.

Anyways, I plan to hire Zell as a pixel artist in a future.

Works for me with the solution. I have to say though I didn't like the mashing out part at all. Throws you completely out of the rhythm of the song.

Yes, i follow the steps but nothing, i guess im goin to wait for the next update :p
Alright, I made a little Registry Fix to solve this issue automatically. This directly changes the RGSS3 folder of your registry, setting the game to run at windowed mode. I'll probably include this on future builds of the game.

That's bad to hear dude... Do you have any idea of how could I implement battle fuck then? I thought it was a neat idea.

I dont know why this needs a battle fuck. If you need anything you can tie it into what happens when you miss a note to begin with, but I hate the mash out mechanic.

Because I don't want this to be another Love Rhythm (another H rhythm game). I didn't want to make the adult content something exclusive from the gallery, I wanted it to take part of the actual gameplay.

I know it throws you off the rhythm of the song, and that's pretty much the idea since your priority switches from hitting the notes to escaping from the enemy. I included the mashing mechanics because I didn't want the animations to be a "5 seconds random loop if you miss a note", but a penalty period where it's up to your skill if you can escape fast enough to not miss too many notes.

Well, so... I just got PM'd by Matduke and SHK (the music producers from Indestructible and Follow Me) and after checking out the final product they've decided to not allow me to use their music in my game.

Apparently they weren't okay with the game style and have requested me to get their tracks off this game. That means I'll have to replace the already existing levels with different songs. This is a perfect time to take suggestions on some good royalty-free tracks you know, or pages where I can find music of the sort.

Well man, right now I'm pretty much in a pinch, since I've been denied by several artists whether if I can use their tracks or not... Just in case, I'm already working on other game with the same artist, if don't find a future for this project :(

I'm honestly kinda surprised this is possible on RPG Maker, mostly since I'm used to seeing Wolf RPG Editor being the one used for more flexible projects. I do remember there being a rhythm game script for Ace, but that doesn't seem like that's what's being used here. It's honestly impressive if you've done it yourself, at least based on your Patreon's description saying you've been working with RPGM for over 8 years.

I'm not really a fan of the BF system you're using, personally; it feels kind of counterintuitive for a rhythm game, especially as it seems like you're mainly supposed to just get to specific parts and then take intentional hits. I guess it's something you can take with a pinch of salt though, as the system probably won't be within its intended design until more difficult charts are added. What about the monster girls using some sort of charm effects, that would make the chart harder or "glitch" the song if you get hit by them? I feel like the song glitching would add to that effect, but I'm not sure if that's possible within RPG Maker's limits. The charts themselves feel like they could use a bit of work too, notably with the pause in Follow Me feeling kinda awkward. Seems like this isn't really necessary feedback though, based on your situation with the artists, that's pretty unfortunate.

I know a few repositories you could try looking through, just gotta look through their licenses, since I know at least one of them bans H-games from using it; do you have a Discord I could send you the links to, or would it be cool to post them here (that's partially a question to potential mods too, I'm not a hundred percent sure if randomly posting a bunch of links would be alright)?

There's nothing really WRONG with rpgmaker. At least not to the extent people think. It's just the easiest platform to develop on therefore all the worst projects get developed on it. It's not THE most flexible platform in the world. But with a little effort a lot is possible. You can make good games with it. And it doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Anyway lol dude. That bunny is the same colors even the same pose as Zell's. And the bunny girls from the encyclopedia look nuthin like that. I'm not sure he'd even mind but you aint foolin no one XD
