Crisis Empireo Ver 1.0 released. These EX Bosses are extremely nasty.

 

[Beerbaron]

No seriously what the hell is this final EX Boss. It's like everything you never want to see. It drains your MP, spams your team with massive damage AOE and self heals?! Good lord what a monster. Even Level 99 (Bless the dev, no grinding required for it) and the best gear I can get isn't enough, I am getting dunked on.

Crisis Empireo was also updated to 1.02, I suspect it will get another update as I found the new EX Maps don't seem to work.
Edit: Yup. 1.03 out with the fix for the maps. Still haven't beat the EX boss, it is old school RPG levels of unfair.
Edit 2: Finally got it down, holy shit what a brutal fight, took 2 hours to slowly whittle her down while she spammed heals. Do not attempt without all the ultimate weapons or it is flat out impossible.

Stumbled on another: The Sealed Stone Maiden - 封石の少女
Looks like it has some of the same characters from Office Friede.

About an hour in, this one is a puzzle game done in RPG Maker, been poking around with it thanks to MTool, seems like it might take a bit to beat, due to the puzzle nature of figuring out what to do.
Do not attempt this game without MTool or Machine Translation of some kind due to the puzzle nature of the game.
Does have an English Tips Document contained within however!

Current Version 1.5.14, hopefully completed by early next year.

Maiden Sealed in Stone? Plow and Polaris actually originate from there; they're crossover characters in Office Friede. Several of Plow's spells in Office Friede, have her even mention the character she learned them from-- and indeed, her unique talent is to learn other people's signature spells.
The indie JP petrification game scene has a lot of cross-references like this, from the various makers being friends or fans of each other. Usually it's just cameos; Office Friede is the only one I know of where they're playable and even integrated properly into the cast.

, though since he's perpetually overworked producing several of his own games at once, I believe he just uses machine translation and a manual editing pass-- and for the most recent version of the translation (which I believe was for the previous update), didn't even have time to manually edit the translation of the new content's script. He seems to be on friendly terms with the maker, considering he got permission to include Polaris as a cameo in Runes of Pandemonium (and a few references to her in Witch Hunter Izana), and I think he's the one who prompted the Sealed in Stone dev to include the English translation in the hint file.

Several characters in Sealed In Stone are named after stars or other celestial bodies, starting of course with Polaris. And some of those use only part of the name: I'm pretty sure "Opea" is meant to be Cassiopeia; "Stra" and "Boria" are Aurora Australis and Aurora Borealis; and the kingdom's name is, uh, "Lky Way" after the Milky Way. I wouldn't expect a machine translation to catch the theme naming, though I can't read Japanese either, so it's better than nothing.

There's also a sequence where the hints are... written in a way that would accidentally completely thwart a machine translation unless you know exactly how to process the text before feeding it into the translator, though the reward is optional (password for the zip file containing that update's new petrification images). The translated hint file has alternate English-language riddles for this sequence anyway.

I played the update-before-this-one without a translation, and had great difficulty because the explanation for combo spells was... not in a convenient format for feeding into a translator (image file in Japanese, with resolution small enough that OCR couldn't quite make it out). Maybe the new update includes an english translation for the combo table, too? I should check it out.

Edit:
That reminds me. I saw another game where I saw Plow and Dorothy as cameos.

It's about a magic school, and students challenge each other to petrification duels regularly. The format gives me anxiety, though (limited number of actions between classes, and each action usually has meaningful results), so I didn't get very far. Decision paralysis.
There are no image files for Plow and Dorothy being petrified in this one (they really are just cameos), but it looks like nearly every other student you can encounter is petrifiable.


Edit 2:
I just got around to taking out the (regular) final boss of Crisis Empireo, and... okay, the epilogue sends them to the Lky Way Kingdom, where, yes, they did indeed have a cameo as enemy combatants in Sealed in Stone, last update. When I checked the buff-and-debuff text file, I also saw some familiar moves at the very end of it. Those two just can't seem to stay out of trouble. Guess I'll see them at the end of the EX dungeon.

 

[Beerbaron]

Yea, final EX boss will be familiar :3. Good Luck if attempting EX section D:
Ohhh Salty did a translation for Sealed Stone? Nice, have to get that later.
Plus side, Translator++ didn't break Crisis Empireo, was able to play through the game using it.

 

[Terafreak]

There wasn't a crash or anything, the Japanese riddles just got translated to word salad and gibberish. It's not exactly that the translator or game would break; it's, uh...

The riddles were in Japanese but written entirely in katakana, so the machine translator thought the entire thing was onomatopoeias or foreign loanwords, and never actually check for Japanese words in it. Converting it to hiragana would... not quite be enough. Because there are some foreign loanwords in it, so you'd have to already know what and where those are and leave them alone-- at which point if you already know that much, you might not need the translator.

Spoiler: Alternate explanation for people who don't know what that meant

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

That said, it's been a while since then. Maybe machine translators have made enough advancements to get around that silliness, at this point? But whatever, the hint file has English riddles, it's fine.

[Uncomplete] Save file from the last game of anmitsuya, where theres a petrification scene

 

[monstermasher]

Full Release came out, finally had time to dive in, was pretty good! Pretty sure I cleared everything, doesn't look like there is a end room to see all the pictures which was unfortunate, since you don't get clothing damage until very endgame. That last dungeon is a brutal maze.

Now I figured maybe you might know why, but I seem to not be unlocking any books even after doing the first 3. Would have any idea why?

I believe that image is from Fee's Training Diary, vice the game being discussed (Office of Friede).
Office of Friede is complete, Fee's Training Diary is not.

Not that I recall

 

[HolySwordOfExcalibur]

Not that I recall

Shame, really love that moment of the person still conscious despite being petrified or change into objects.

 

[HolySwordOfExcalibur]

This game have many TFs include Petrification, some scenes is quite extreme so be cautious. The developer is also working on Second game Great Exorcist Asuka, the game release this end of month.

)

 

[violenc3]

There's not much new ASFR type of game now. Crisis Empireo might recieve its final update, Abyss Cave hasn't been updated for 2-3 years by now. And most of the one who make the ASFR game switch to making ASFR video, the only creator I know still active on making this type of game is ENDE_AA with their Buzama series.

Work is still ongoing for Sand Grey Cells at least

One of the releases had a zip file of the dev's saves (I've attached it to this post), and some of those saves are in the debug room. There appears to be a recollection room, but it doesn't seem to function correctly when accessed "normally"; there is a save in an apparently-functional version of the recollection room, but the player is lodged in an obstacle and cannot move around to examine things. Maybe someone else can figure out if there's a way to view it properly.

As for that maze, the dev has actually tweeted out

New Postgame Dungeon 1: Cyberspace
Theme is being digitized into a woman-shaped data file. The victim turns translucent green with faint wireframe lines visible, posed and smiling blankly. The boss-loss bad end also has the party reprogrammed to join the cyber monsters in digitizing subsequent intruders

New Postgame Dungeon 2: Witch's Swamp
Theme is adjacent to the cultivation-tank fetish... the victim is shrunk to palm-sized, dropped into a bottle, and left floating in a life-support drug that also keeps them in a mindless daze. The boss-loss bad end has some recurring NPCs attempt a rescue but fall victim themselves (offscreen, unfortunately)

New Postgame Dungeon 3: Museum Maze
There are four themes here.
1) In combat, enemies can turn party members into life-sized figurines but with just their clothes turned to glass

When your active party enters the maze, all reserve members are promptly hypnotized into offering themselves up to become museum exhibits

2) The maze will be populated with enemy versions of the reserve members, embedded in large stone tarot cards (all inverted, only Valna as the Devil and the final boss as the Fool are upright), with just their head and torso sticking out the front, with glazed eyes and sinister smiles. They attack with versions of their original movesets.
3) These tarot card monsters are replicas apparently produced by magic mirrors placed around the dungeon, housing the victims' still-hypnotized souls-- smiling vacantly and lifting their skirts or opening their tops or other mildly-lewd poses
4) The reserve members' vacant bodies have been turned to life-sized figurines wearing casino bunny costumes (shiny but not glass). The soul mirrors can be collected and reunited with the bodies to awaken them and return them to the party

This stage's boss-loss bad end is a playable epilogue of a gallery exhibit featuring all ten members subjected to all four of these at once. With the glass-clothes figurine versions existing at the same time as the casino-bunny figurine versions somehow.

ANOTHER new update for Office Friede with another 3 bonus levels \o/. Time to blow the dust off my save files.
Maybe a final bonus level as well? Unsure from the translation of the post.

Is this game fun or good?

 

[Beerbaron]

Is this game fun or good?

Office of Friede? Other then needing MTool to play it, it's my favorite of the "Standard" RPG Maker games I have run across. It's also one of the VERY few complete games, 14 hours on my save file currently. Fun is subjective of course, but I would put it ahead of Abyss Cave / Crisis Emperio as an example.
