MAy I recommend to beeline the first steps until the outpost has been built?

In my second try, I picked bones as a starting ressource. Additional, because of my stats, I farmed Hemp in the "rocky field" for three times. This lead to an shortage of wood, and I couldnt build the outpost.

Is this CYOA? I've played A LOT of CYOA games and wanted just one to join the "adult" genre. Thanks so much for making this.

the arrival of the third resident is underwhelming.

all the buildings, finished building before third resident arrived.

i don't need her anymore to help in gathering resources.

two minor issues
1. When you get buffs at Strong & Mystic, it lasts 5 turns in New Rozan, if you leave to go somewhere else, you only have the buffs for 4 turns. This may or may not be intended.
2. I got a free token for Lucina's Herbs & Remedies, didn't use it, then I picked up another token, I then went to Lucina's, paid for the healing, said the next one was free, when I went for the next healing it wasn't free. I lost both tokens.

Can someone tell me a rough time period between updates?

I realize the game was just updated and i am not asking when the next update is, I am asking how frequently the game is updated (roughly) as I've never come across the game and it already has multiple updates.

I remember seeing this pop up some time ago and liking the ideas presented but wanted to wait for more content before trying it. After the latest update I decided to give it a whirl and I gotta say, I liked it more than I thought I would (and I did anticipate liking it). It reminds me quite a bit of Mist, although I like the additional RPG mechanics here added to the formula.

I really like the lore you're building up for the setting, some really interesting ideas going on here. I also really enjoy the seeming dedication to slowly building up the main love interests. Some nice dedicated romance is definitely preferable to immediate and mindless sex scenes, although you kind of get the best of both worlds here with the various casual encounters. I personally really like the art too.

Even more impressive is the consistency and speed that the updates seem to come at. I don't know if that is normal or sustainable but good work regardless. Keep doing what you're doing Earliestbird, this one is certainly going to be eagerly watched by me.

It's funny, even from the tiny preview on Latest, I got the impression it was AI art. I don't know what it is, but there's a certain look to it that is recognizable if you've seen a lot of AI art. I noticed they avoid having hands in most of these shots (computrons don't seem to understand them). Hopefully, it means that updates will be quicker to turn around. I'm interested in the idea of an AI art porn game at the very least.

Huge request to dev, PLEASE reduce rate of the accidents! I got like 3 in row, unable to go anythere and losing essence. Why am I even losing my health, if it's Raven who triggers it?

Having tried it now, I gotta say, the idea to just work the usual AI image artefacts into the story is genius.
An ever shifting world, bodies that are just not quite right, illusion magic... you weaved that together nicely.
I applaud you, and I'm looking forward to the next version. Well done!

Hmmm maybe you got unlucky? Right now each daily event has a 7% chance to occur (except for Strange Echoes, which is 3.5%).

But I will keep adjusting them according to feedback and add more so there's a wider variety!

Edit: Also what do you mean exactly by unable to go anywhere? Daily events don't stop you from adventuring, they happen after the adventure phase.

I think he means that, if his hitpoints are close to 0, anything that might result in combat (which he doesn't know) would be somewhat inconvenient. That is the thing with random chance. Someone will get the short straw. Every time.
I recommend just blocking an event from happening twice in a row?
I certainly was somewhat entertained when getting essence winds 3x in 4 days. Speaking of which,unless you plan to completely abandon the system in the near future, I see an upcoming issue with runaway resource progression.
Though I wouldn't mind if that ceased being relevant, the writing is good.

Yeah, thing is - yearly on you habe this spot there exploration is gated behind Portal Guardian, resource gathering is very slow, and with constantly reducing HP you can't really do anything. Sit with Raven on foraging and hope you will get it faster than lose it (otherwise happens).

I got through this patch, but I had to reload several times/

I see, perhaps I could make negative events like accident only appear 20-30+ days into the game.

I'm already working on a random event (appears day 50+) where you can trade random types of resources for good items/consumables. Should be a good sink.

As for the far future, I have plans for base defense, girl skill trees (another resource sink), many more buildings, etc.

I feel like resources system overall would benefit from some balance checks. It's really hard to get resource early on, but you have tons of them, once you get 2 girls and upgrades.

But game is really great overall. I loved your writing and overall theme of MC looking for meaningful relationships and purpose in his life, not just random sex (though latter isn't bad either). Maslow's pyramid stuff. Mel reminded me of Min from Wheel of Time books.

Definitely seems like late game needs some more resource sinks for you to spend all the stuff the girls are collecting. Maybe things like heals or short term buffs for bosses, maybe something like a luck boost for finding girls to breed with, etc. I found a few girls to breed early on and get the collection bonus from but after that zero opportunities no matter how long I played. Not sure if that's intended or I'm missing something, or just really low chance.
