The Alderian COMPETITION! (For all tiers!)

Hey guys,

you may have noticed recently that 'The Duke' tier and 'The Mad King' tier have been purged. We did this, simply because we felt like if someone actually did support us with those perks, while we would be grateful for the support, it would long-term impede our ability to actual produce content at the steady(ish) pace we do.

With that said, we DO still want to up community involvement, so, we've decided to throw a competiton for YOU, our supporters, to suggest your own optional side quest for Parasite Black!

That's right, have a burning idea for a side quest you think would really be cool? Now's your chance to throw it out there!

The way the competition will work is the most popular/upvoted ideas (or our personal top picks) will be gathered up into a final poll with the winning quest/idea with the most votes eventually being implemented into the game!



How to send your idea?:

Either post your idea over on the discord PATRON ONLY chat of the discord with the words 'COMP SUBMISSION' before your text explaining your idea.



Discord link below for those wanting it: (Copy and paste into header)





How to take part other than submitting an idea?:

-Simple! Just upvote your favorite ideas on the patron only chat as you see them! It'll give us a pre-cursor understand of what people want to see as we pick out the top ten for the poll!



A few rules:

-We retain the right to refuse a quest idea for whatever reason, (even if you get a lot of votes).

-Nothing illegal, no lolis allowed.

-You can be as detailed as you want with the quest, sex scenes, lore, locations, but remember, the more 'extravagent' the idea is, the more likely we'd have to say 'No.' If the quest would take us 6 months+ to make, short of being an extraordinary good idea, its unlikely to be accepted.

-If the quest/idea focuses on any of the love interests in-game now or main characters, beware you'll only be allowed lewd scenes up to the romance they are currently ... No, your Regina X Elena BDSM double slave anal scene is not happening (yet).

-The side quest has to fit the world and established lore of Parasite Black, dark, medieval fantasy ... No boarding the mothership and heading to planet of the three-tiddy waifus.

-No NTR, (that is Netorare or Netorase), scat, watersports, etc... Netori focus is fine, optional swinging and things like that are also fine. MC (topping) another male character is also fine but not MC being topped by another guy. (*Cough* Not my thing so :p )



Please note:

The quest will likely be implemented *after* the established release deadline timeline we've set out already in prep for our steam launch. If we can implement it before then, we will.



That's it for now,

Thank you guys so much for your support!

Looking forward to reading your ideas!


-The Damned Studios Team!

P.s ...The Elena pin-up is still coming, we haven't forgotten, we're just busy as all hell.

P.s.s ... We are considering a special 'Aristocrat' only competition as well, and whatever thsat might entail.

The old artist who did those scenes in the prologue has not been with the team for nearly two years.

Also, the old art style does not remotely fit with the rest of the games style at this point so those scenes had to go.
which scenes will be reworked? the sex ones

Is it persistentdata in the saves folder? Did that, but problem persists. Noticed that it always occurs when using regular health potion.

Upon start up, the game should prompt you whether you want to delete persistent data. Clicking on it will restart the game.
Using old saves will definately break the game right now.

IF you follow the instructions on start-up and the problem still persists, then it's a actual bug.

Not to b a dick but, who's going to tell him that 'heil' is just German for 'hail'?

And I'm just saying, when Kiara got 'non-consentually penetrated' she looked rather blonde for a ginger.

Last time I played, game was on version .145. So, am I missing something or are you doomed with older saves here always and have to redo everything again each time? Always the error code.

Saves cannot be compatabile while we still have engine changes on-going, it's impossible.

When will there be content with Regina? I came here only for the sake of incest
Then I suggest you skip this one.
I used the incest patch, played the opening scene, shut down the game, removed the patch.
All the patch does here is change a couple name variables.
I've seen some games and VNs where the dialogue was cleverly written enough that it makes sense whichever way the variable is set.
This is not one of them.
An incest patch for this one would also need to rewrite portions of the dialogue in order for it to make much sense.
