In the fight after training with Markus, any time I take any action against the enemy I crash. Added the crash log in my post. Already did the delete persisting data stuff

Just checking, you're not using an old save from a previous build or anything, right?

no, I don't think so, I also deleted all saves. Just tried getting there from new game as well. Still a crash

Any new content with Regina?

Any new content with Regina?

Update schedule plan:

1.) -Steam demo build (this is mostly just a tech update, it will contain 1-2 additional new lewd scenes but it's just the prologue of the game extended and revamped, should be out in next few days for free for everyone).

2.) -Mages of Palam part 1 (Will contain other new characters and lewd content)

3.) -Mages of Palam part 2 (*May* contain more of Captain Nyx but I may push her back to after Regina)

4.) -Regina, Sypha and main story.

Barati... A collectable card game in PB?:

Can I be skeptical that this is a good idea? It's already difficult making good progress with these sorta games. So to "waste" time on this is questionable to me. What does it really add? Will "blackjack with some twists" be actual fun (if I want to play a card game, I'll play a card game...)? I don't know; usually I think the minigames at little for all the effort they require. Makes sense in some games, but here? Eh.

Being skeptical isn't to say I'm not willing to let myself be convinced. I just expect not to be convinced

It's one that's on the backburner in the sense that, we're focused on the big, important stuff right now.
-Improving combat and core mechanics
-Adding new content
-Improving old content/revamping art.

Once we're comfortably satisfied with the above and have some breathing room, that's when we'll go back and be like 'Ok, now we can put a little energy into this...'

I do think/hope it'll be fun and good for world-building etc, but the priority is always the core gameplay loop and content.

Been waiting for this to get to a stable position before trying. Should be soon by the looks of it, good luck until then!

I did my best to make everything clear and updated the changelog.... Good luck, dev

lostraven Since you are doing a remaster, it would be nice if you made us go directly to the Save menu when we right-click the mouse and have the roll back, It may sound stupid, but that's the only thing that bothered me in the whole game.

Hey guys, it's been a while but a lot of stuff has happened!
First things first, we're awaiting final review on Steam's approval with the demo, as soon as it's up, we'll let you guys know! Not long now!

Now onto the main development news!
Here's a couple cool things and changes we've been working on recently!

Combat:
Continuing on from previous news-posts, we're continuing to tweak and improve combat further. Aside from UI changes, changes to XP and overhauling skill tress and such, all enemies in the game should now have different stats and such finally, so expect combat to feel VERY different.
We still haven't got the player able to transform into his parasite form during combat, but that's next on the list.

(WIP - Combat overhaul above).​

Relationships system redefined:
The current relationship system is being overhauled into something more RPG-friendly. Your relationship chart will now detail what kind of relationship you have with certain characters you've met, any major relationship changing events, whether they're alive or not and more!

(WIP - Relationships UI overhaul above).​

Barati... A collectable card game in PB?:
While combat and essential works take priority, we've jotted out plans for a card game within PB and have all the base cards complete!
Throughout the world, the plan is you'll be able to buy/win collectable special cards which you can use to enhance your 'special cards' deck, which can be used to help turn the game in your favor against your opponent.
If all goes well, all sorts of rewards can be found and won, and we think it'll add a new intricate layer to the world building hopefully!
Barati is in preliminary stages for now, and is probably best described as blackjack with more than a few twists...

The base cards for Barati (above)​

Finally,
We just wanted to say the latest update is coming along, they'll be more news on that front soon, but the work (and work-load) is very intense, but, it will hopefully elevate this game into something truly awesome!
If you have any questions, PLEASE ask them here or over on the discord and we'll try get back to you as soon as we can!


As always,
thank you all so much for your support,
you guys are awesome and really keep things going around here!
Love,
-The Damned Studios Team

"Your wife? No, can't say I've seen her..."​

Will saves continue to be broken with the steam rework? I am interested in the game but I have no interest in replaying content I have already played in previous updates. I prefer using steam as opposed to downloading from this website/patreon/any other platform. Am I going to be forced to replay the game each time the game is updated there?
