When I upgraded from v21 to v22 the game gave me a v22 save file that starts with the new quest. However, it only had the quests of main quest line flagged. So none of the sidequests were completed on it. When I loaded my v21 save it bugged out and the script of the quest NPC did not start the conversation that auto-starts when I enter the room where he is. He was also untargetable, just a dead sprite. I was able to continue with my v21 save by using the cheat menu to set the last quest to "Success" and the new quest as "Active". It skipped the dialogue of talking to that NPC to turn in the last quest and picking up the new one, but it did not cause any other bugs and I was able to do the new quest. I don't know if this caused any long-term script issues. I guess I'll see.How robust is save system in this game? I mean I currently have version 19.2 so if I upgrade my game will I have to redo everything or will I be able to continue?
Ahaha holy shit you've held out for a while haha.anybody wanna play wheres waldo since the game wants me to die.
Oh yeah totally, her story definitely seems to me like the one with the most potential. I've caught up on their web-comic and her past is still a mystery. And I hope her relationship with Redic improves and he works and helps her more ''willingly'' shall we say. Anyway between the two demon patronesses I absolutely prefer Lady Wolf over Mara.
It's a potential in the future, still deciding on our roster of scenes, but people are definitely requesting Dee a lot.Dee scene when...![]()
._.I want the same really. Mara is alright but she's no Lady Wolf.
ROMANTIC. Can't really say if it'll be Samara, Samara definitely likes to watch people get it on though, she has a strong voyeuristic streak, so much so she can get herself in trouble in the past. If you have her with you on one of your Moira visits, she peeks and... bites off more than she can chew haha.View attachment 1612841
My money is on Samara. She's as horny as Redic.
That is perfectly understandable. Slideshow endings are my jam tbh. Still, I think there should be one more "major" decision that will change the ending slides - something like in Jade Empire or Knights of the Old Republic.
Damn mate what have Phrik done to you, that even Arbuz decided it was too depressing?
Also ngl, I wonder if we will get more demons? Maybe Cursed Vermin to make the whole situation even more complicated/dangerous/chaotic?
Hey, thanks a ton! Like, an absolute ton. I'll pass it along to the other writers involvedI didnt expect writing in this game to be so good, especially with your companions, talking with them and how they join in on other conversations gave me some Dragon Age vibes. Seriously good stuff. Art and animations are great too, Arbuz knows how to draw sexy monster girls. And I really like how Redic is a certified badass and not just some insert-yourself-here protagonist.
Yeah we are already doing the first option, several of the things players have done now in the game already will affect the ending and fates of characters. I'll spoil it, one of your decisions may have doomed a woman to execution in a public square at the end of the game. Not gonna say what decision, or who, but depending on what you have done will decide on whether or not she is publicly shamed and executed. The other option for her is a lot better of an ending. Multiple decisions will factor into her fate (and the fates of others involved in the quest). There will then be an end scenario decision as well, in which Redic will decide a few consequences at the end.You don't have to do that. No one does that, not even triple-A games, not even the old ones. Save for a few extremely rare exceptions there are usually two kinds of "multiple endings."
1. You make a choice at the very end; it creates the illusion of multiple endings if your choice was informed by what you've learned throughout the game. Deus Ex, Mass Effect type games do that. There is no long ass script that has to remember everything you've done. This is best for stories that pose a central question.
2. There is a single value that is altered positively or negatively throughout the game by player action. Best for stories where you want to juxtapose two different types of character behavior. But you can also make that very complex and have 2 games in 1 (Undertale), or very simple and have it only change the ending (Dishonored).
I don't know what this story will be about so I can't tell which one is best for you (probably 1) but neither requires more effort than you've put into it. You don't have to be afraid of multiple endings.
In any case, I have a different type of question. Is the party set or are you open to adding more party members later on? Because there's a kobold thief with nothing but pillow-humping to do and we know every proper adventuring party needs a dedicated rogue/thief.![]()
We have the ability to track subscription amounts, and people who have donated a certain amount in total will get awarded a steam key, at a discount off of the final game price.Will the people who donated on patreon get the full game when it comes out on steam?
I've been trying to patch FFXIV for a god damn week now :| I got rural internet lolfinally after nearly a day of downloading this it's finally complete.
it always asks if you would like to turn on patreon content when you open the game, just hit no. if you go into settings (in game) after setting it to true you will see that cheats are enabledhmmm, I've set it to true but when I pressed f1 it asked for patreon code though I've downloaded the extra files
what am I doing wrong here?
Hm? There's no chapter 2 scene and all of Kadlea save for the government district are open to you, but that opens up in act 1.Okay after playing through a bunch of game and then cheating to unlock all the scenes because I got bored (and normally prefer to play big games like this in their finished version and not piece meal), now I got 'pinions.
Movement is still very jank lol, but w/e not a big deal.
The writing is good and I like that each girl feels like they have a personality, of course I have my favorites and would love to see more content for them, right now I think each girl gets effectively 2 scenes at most, though I'm sure that is planned to be expanded upon.
As far as story/plot writing goes I feel a little lost as I play? Like I don't really get a big narrative thrust. I get that it's supposed to be mostly sandbox-y but I could tell that doing specific things would effectively put me in 'chapter 2' or w/e when more options would open up in town. But those things didn't really seem like they were narratively important, every quest felt like a side quest, like I was just killing time before I did whatever thing I was ~supposed~ to be doing.
I think this is because hot flat-demon lady was like 'okay so I own you now, I guess go fuck about and I'll come back and get you' which made me feel like I was just waiting for her to come back? When I think it's supposed to be more like 'okay you should establish a new life here'. IDK, maybe I missed some internal thoughts of the MC or w/e that would have clued me into what he felt about what he was doing, but I felt a bit ~off~ the whole time in a narrative sense.
Also I felt like I should walk around and re-talk to people after coming back to town to see if new options were available like the cute cat girl escort, but there weren't enough changes that it felt like it was really worth my time. This is probably going to be fixed later or something, by there being so many changes that you feel like you're always finding something. Or it could be fixed by a better fast travel system so backtracking felt like less of a time sink, idk. Just 2 pennies.
E: also let me fuck lizars in the butt kthx, kobold butt or snake butt accepted.
Damn, that's too bad because I'm 100% siding with undead dragon bro.I'll spoil it, one of your decisions may have doomed a woman to execution in a public square at the end of the game.

That's my main criticism too. Being left alone a bit so you can get a lay of the land and gather your ragtag groups of companions is fine, but then eventually the main story has to take the stage. So the character writing is good but this better all just be Tutorial Town, or we're getting a Dragon Age 2. And no one wants to be Dragon Age 2.I think this is because hot flat-demon lady was like 'okay so I own you now, I guess go fuck about and I'll come back and get you' which made me feel like I was just waiting for her to come back?

Yeah, I considered this but, we honestly don't gate too much content beyond the MSQ in terms of side-content. You can pretty much finish all the companion quests through and through, most of the brothel, the Toreign content we have planned, CYOA stuff etc.Damn, that's too bad because I'm 100% siding with undead dragon bro.
I understand what you're saying about Iski. I'm glad she's much requested. Well, if a character only joins after a certain major event in the main quest you don't have to code for any of what happened before that, only the sidequests that are still accessible after that event, which can be a low number of quests if there's a major world state change. There are a lot of tricks to make this work, but only you can judge that. I'm thinking of characters that join later that the rest of the crew in games. Yuffie from FF7 comes to mind.
Two things. First - damn that is some knowledge on crustaceans. Never have I thought I would learn anything from a forum on a porn game ;P.But I was going to make it so Phrik died of lactic acid overload (common for crustaceans) and if you went back his corpse would be devoured on by blackfurs, you would have to kill them, Samara would bury him and then blame herself like she does if you let him die. Then you would take something of his back to his family on the coast. Apparently that's "JeSUs ChriSt, ToO DePrESsiNg vAlaSKa."
Mara is amazing, ngl. I just wanted to pull your tongue a little to hear some future plans, cause I'm so excited about this game ;P. Also possibly controversial opinion, but IMO Mara >> Lady Wolf so farWHY DOES NO ONE THINK MARA IS ENOUGH DEMON!?
Huh, interesting... Always tried to give the non-answers when it comes to Redic past whenever someone asked and whenever it was possible (aside Scylla and Kimber. First deserves the truth, second will get to it eventually anyway), so I'm honestly intrigued right now.No. Redic has done some shit. But you're not going to see what until at least our second act when he begins to open up more. Deciding where to allow some of his history to bleed through is always super hard.
Well then I hope that the idea wasn't scrapped entirely and we could get to meet the Dryad, cause I'm interested on how you would make them look.Once upon a time, we wanted to add a Dryad character that would join post Act 2's crescendo! But even though we've pulled back from to stop too much scope/creep, it's something our programmer really wanted but we just had to pull back from it. Right now we would get so stretched thin adding a new character!
Nah. Don't take what I said too seriously. I was just being cheeky. Focus on what's important first. You can always add things as DLC once you're done. But from a player's standpoint Iski does feel like a character that wants to join the party. I mean she's got literally nothing going on and keeps showing up in your room, and unlike the escorts or Dee she's got an actual DnD class. Not exactly written as a one-time encounter. Basic intuition tells you to expect her to join at any moment. Not surprised people are requesting. It's not just the kobold pussy.Once upon a time, we wanted to add a Dryad character that would join post Act 2's crescendo!

Atleast u can play after that, because your PC is good for this. This is probably better scenario than being with a good internet, but ... w/o a PC to run what u downloaded lol.I've been trying to patch FFXIV for a god damn week now :| I got rural internet lol
Lol yeah I am a wellspring of random useless fucking knowledge lol. But yeah I would like to give some good stuff to Phrik, if we have some spare time I'd love to do a fetch quest shit where you could go and get stuff for him and his family to set up in there. Kyot have some different architecture needs like spawning pools for their eggs, and a nice place to bathe in salt water etc. I think it could be a cute little thing if we get spare time, just a thought I had and bounced around.Two things. First - damn that is some knowledge on crustaceans. Never have I thought I would learn anything from a forum on a porn game ;P.
Second - Valaska pls. Phrik's awesome, he deserves the best

Oh, oh. Three more questions!
Garroth. Ngl, I was surprised seeing as "random" beggar ends up having character model, so I deduced he was important. So does his mini quest always ends up the same way, or have I messed up something and there are 2 ways (okay, more like 3 ways, because one includes failing on talking sense to him) on how it could go? Mostly asking this, cause it is not even mentioned on your walkthrough.
From the 7 characters on the bottom of the gallery (that have models and no NSFW content) who are you the most excited to work on? Alistra, Dee, Esther, Kimber (great work on a model btw), Lin, Goldra or Shaman?
Also it's more of a question to the whole team, so also to ArbuzBudesh and deck - who are your favourite major and secondary (maybe even tertiary if you want to include them) characters in this game?
EDIT:
Well then I hope that the idea wasn't scrapped entirely and we could get to meet the Dryad, cause I'm interested on how you would make them look.
Lol yeah, we don't really have the DND classes yet, our characters all can be Leatherman Wave+'s for the most part with the exception of HIho. Or rather, we plan for them to be very versatile that way when we finish it up, with them excelling in certain fields and such. But yeah for sure with how much she pops up people are like "oh hey!" Would be cool to do after launch! We'll have to see how we feel about either moving on or making more content for Avarice after then. We might be burned out on Avarice immediately and want to move on to a new project.Nah. Don't take what I said too seriously. I was just being cheeky. Focus on what's important first.

Hum. Never thought about doing that until now... an interesting idea. I'll tennis ball some ideas about it with the team and see what they feel.hopefully they make a gallery only extension, this shits getting massive and my computer cant handle it
Yayif we have some spare time I'd love to do a fetch quest shit where you could go and get stuff for him and his family to set up in there.
*Insert here "you had my curiosity but now you have my attention" meme*Haha yeah I mostly was meme'ing, Mara has more content planned with the Whispering Brook after states, she also will help Redic out in the future as she becomes more involved with the regional politics. There is some very deep behind the scenes lore that'll happen too, and the player will only become aware of it and the attached quest if they are paying close attention to a few signs of something being up, with regards of Mara.
TIL Scylla is youngest companion. Thought she was more or less similar to Redic age, but now that I think it might be coming with every companion being different race. Also yeah, Scylla and Hiho are sweet together. Hiho sees the best in everyone even in the very reserved (at first) Scylla and is willing to give everyone a second chance - something that Scylla desperately needed. Ever since I saw their interactions in the tavern together I became fan of this duo. And then during her quest when Hiho got attacked and Scylla went on her solo mission ;_;Scylla and Redic have very similar stories, but Scylla is younger of course (the youngest of the companions). I do like the idea you latched onto her as deserving the truth, as I view Redic as a mentor for her. She and Hiho have a huge impact on her future.
But in actuality, she was an extremely fucking paranoid stable genius who was backstabbed by someone she considered a close friend and even confidant.
Honestly I wouldn't be opposed if we couldn't bed Kimber. As You said She's extremely guarded due to her past and also She is extremely focused on politics. And she's goddamn efficient at it. If it weren't for the newest character we meet I don't think there would be someone as effective as her outside of the Lady Wolf. And even with the newest character I have my doubts, since they focus on the bigger picture, while completely disregarding all the details (like guards taking the bribes and farmers situation), unlike Kimber who seems to be controlling everything.Personally, I love working on Kimber, but I don't know if we will actually let Redic bed her. She is extremely paranoid and guarded
I knew that Nailah was behind the Athlatka situation! /jkMajor:
