Looks interesting enough. It takes a lot to keep me interested through the grind of a trainer, but I like the writing so far. Get a boatload of content, and I'll happily by on Itch.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and the reviews/suggestions and well-wishes, they mean a lot!
A few people commented on something I was going back-and-forth on when developing - a simple help/tutorial illustration for the times when you directly interact with Ari. It will be included in the next update.
Thanks a lot for catching both of those and also including your own fix; bug reports are incredibly helpful (even typo reports - maybe some day I can hire the editor I so desperately need). A hotfix is done and will be available on itch.io in a few hours.
I should note for anyone who hasn't noticed - the .rpy game files (much like the image files) are completely unobfuscated and accessible so they can readily be edited if you want to unjank the game yourself or something.
If this does not work, you may be experiencing a bug. Picobyte already reported one critical to the spank scene and the hotfix for that will be available on itch.io in a few hours.

Oh crap, that last one is pretty critical.

Once you have selected the ruler tool and are hovering over areas where it can be used (a ruler image appears on the Ari paperdoll), click and drag to power up a strike. Once max charge is realeased (indicated by the ruler illustration changing), release to strike. More than one strike is required to change the status of a particular spankable area.

Hotfix 1 is now out on
You must be registered to see the links
, to fix this reported error:It puzzles me, though. This error did not appear for others and there is no spot in my code that can create this buggy pygame event. I wonder if Ren'Py also uses the USEREVENT type. If so, the fix picobyte presented (which was implemented exactly, thank you!) should still work but it's an extra bit of jank in the jank bucket now.

For those with.. ehm ... spanking issues:
You have to select the ruler, click and hold on her butt, pull it downwards till it bends and release the mouse button to let it snap.
Took me some uncoordinated clicking around until I figured that out

I decided to play this game and here are my thoughts:
1. I like the art-style
2. The intro sequence didn't bother me much. I felt like you got the point fast enough.
3. Why is the main character being made a duke? Dukes control duchies which are supposed to be really big and powerful by feudal standards (only weaker than kingdoms and empires). I think it would make more sense if he was being ennobled at the start of the game and going from just a commoner who happens to be a wizard to a baron (which is the lowest rung of nobility), because (I assume) he's only really getting a small castle and the land around it. It would be much easier for him to manage that from a single room while dealing with the princess than a large semi-autonomous state.
4. Will we be able to give her a haircut? I like her hair right now, but I think that it only really works with the outfit she currently has right now.
5. I don't like beast, so if you ever change your mind and decide to include it I think you should make it optional (many people also don't like beast).
6. If you do end up adding pregnancy I think you should put it towards the end of the game or make it something featured in the ending of the game.

This is absolutely the single most hilarious bit of feedback I have ever seen a porn game get.
You've definitely got a point - here's why he's being made a duke + some other worldbuilding elements I'm spoiling ahead of time:
- He isn't. He is given an administrative duty over what was a fairly Crusader Kings 2-like (but smaller) duchy before the Imperium, but the Imperial Bureaucracy is much more centralized and Frim's position is not very similar to a duke. In fact, this duchy in particular is being heavily restructured by the Imperial Bureacracy while the game is going on and most of the action regarding this is going on elsewhere than the tower this game takes place in. Frim is mostly left to deal with a war-torn area where petty lords are squabbling amongst themselves over scraps left by the Bureaucracy while peasants are being left to the whims of raiders both by the old feudal lords and the new Imperium.
- Frim is actually already a petty noble, which is why he is referred to a "hedge wizard". In the game, in the feudal kingdoms which the Imperium is wiping away left-and-right, wizards and knights were petty nobility that had to be drawn from land-owning free men. They usually had a manor farm which was swankier than the average rural farm complex, and they had enough land to need some hired hands during harvest season, but they didn't have tenants (ie. peasants who paid taxes because they existed in the lord's land). However, a lot of wizards and knights were needed in times of stress and as such, they were often given some random plot of land the lord wizarding/knighting them didn't care about, so that they technically owned land and thus could be wizarded/knighted. A common joke about them was that they basically owned a bit of hedge somewhere by the sea, and thus were "hedge wizards/knights" . The Imperium no longer requires land ownership, but "hedge wizard" remains a pejorative toward poor wizards who aren't high-ranking members in the Bureaucracy.
Basically none of this is going to be relevant to Frim and Ari's story, and the game is pretty light-hearted rather than worldbuilding-heavy (I mean, the dark emperor himself is literally named Bob), but I like worldbuilding and there's definitely going to be some writing in the game that's basically "hey read this small, cool fact about this fictional world!"
Regarding other points, though:
- Yes, absolutely her hair will be able to change. She currently has a fancy royal hairdo to match her fancy royal digs.
- Beast or pregnancy content (which, again, is not planned) will probably require an opt-in if it is ever included.

Art style, writing, and your attitude as a developer make this my #1 up and coming to keep an eye on.

A remark regarding our divine majesty's name, granted to him after his birth by his parents, bless their immortal souls. Contains a minor spoiler if thou haven't plaeyeth the intro!
On another note, I have written in another post that we need more developers, making games like these, watch more British TV shows. This games language is too saturated and pictorial for it to have been written by an American (not that it technically couldn't happen), or eastern European/Russian. A good example of this is the creator Pyorgara, his writing is really good, much better than most in this industry, but the language is not saturated and doesn't really feel pictorial even though he describe a lot of things, so I am almost certain he is an American developer. I do really like him though! The same can be said about Aftermathteam.
Regarding the drawing style, what it lacks in certain areas it makes up for in soul! As for what I mean try to take a look at Brothel City's new models, they might be prettily drawn, but that art just lacks soul, it's uninspiring to look at, while this art has a lot of it. A good example of a game whose art has it both, I think very few will disagree if I refer to Studio Kuma's Milky Touch.
So this game is quite exciting in a few key areas, I'm eager to see how this one grows!
