RPGM Prowler [v0.118] [Grove Dev]

[ermiz]

Having played through the lot I was pretty surprised just how much content is in this first chapter. For horny content the game is stellar, One of the best games of its type I've played but marred with bizarre design choices like the menus being so tedious. Simple things like choosing a map, cooking, destroying items are all layered in many needless menus. Plus things like having to re-fill a waterskin, drink, then fill it again instead of the pool just healing you. And I couldn't see the point of fishing at all, really. This is all crap that can be ironed out, but I can't imagine they will.

Pro tip: make the bow gun as soon as you get access to rubber slabs, shit has unlimited ammo, good range, fires fast and uses no stamina. You can even fire it while it's reloading. It completely trivializes the combat which is good for me since the game stuttered and froze most of the times me or an enemy got hit, but thankfully the only "difficult" enemies that you have to kill show up after you can build it.

I got to the end of the game and I only just realised that I don't have the bowgun available for crafting (along with 4 armor pieces). I'm going to assume it's way too early for anyone to have made a guide or a wiki yet, would you happen to remember where to get all the bowgun parts?

Fishing at least gives you more stock on the vendor, like the utensils to cut fish. The only bad thing I would say it's the constant money grinding in the late game. Repairs costing 250 shards is freaking criminal, specially considering that clearing an entire expedition of enemies nets you roughly 150 shards without the tonic. And you better wish that in the constant mindless grind you don't step on a trap accidentally, because that's another 200 shards down the drain to remove the cursed gear or the goo suit.

Knowing that we will probably not see any content update for a year makes me sad...

Nevertheless, well done with the constant and quickly released patches. Though some bugs seemed very obvious (like reputation board bug, accessory case items not unlocking, bugged popups etc) and should've stand out when doing simple QA runs. Just saying.

Wait, what do you mean by "not see any content update for a year"?
Are they go into hiatus after finish this one?
Or you meant specificity for "Prowler" since they will move back to "Grove"?
Or you just referring to they actually spend time cook before showing anything?

It's so wild people nowadays are so use to the Patreon Monthly update drip feed (Especially for VNs since those are much easier and quicker to make),
they forgot developin' games takes so much effort and time, and it's actually a not a good idea to show every step of the progress.

I think the devs said they will flip-flop with the two games.

Plus things like having to re-fill a waterskin, drink, then fill it again instead of the pool just healing you.

That REALLY bothered me. Especially with filling the skin not being a default choice.

Tonic choice also defaulting to "no" also confused me. I wish it wouldn't ask at all considering how low stakes making the wrong choice is.

From January
"Hello all! It's been a while, apologies for the silence! Since the release of the Prowler Demo last August we've both been very busy with life, head-down in studies for the bulk of Aug - Nov, oversees trips in Dec - Jan and more. But now it's finally time for an update on our plans. We've decided that our plan moving forward will be as follows:

1. Finish a proper build of PROWLER and release it
2. Return to GROVE to complete Dark Places Pt. 2
3. See where the wind takes us from there...

We'll be posting some previews and a quick overview on the changes we've made just below! Hope you find it all interesting and exciting! Thanks for sticking by us all this time!

They are going to update grove next, and presumably go back to prowler. I wouldn't be surprised if the next grove update comes relatively sooner. Grove is a true rpgmaker game that makes heavy use of stock tilesets while Prowler uses custom tilesets and is an arpg using an engine not designed for it. I think I remember seeing the devs talked about how a good amount of time went to implement mechanics never meant to be used with the engine.

I tried the full saves so far. What am I doing wrong, I went into the www and saves and dropped the gallery save in there. But the game says it's not there. I don't care to play the game anymore. It's just an incredibly tedious game. I want to see if any of the scenes would've been worth the misery this game is.

EDIT: Finally got it to work. Man these sex scenes were disappointing considering all the work you'd have to do.

Do you know about this task

Do you know about this task

You have to go to the swamp and finish all the tasks there.

There's 3 schematics you have to find for it, one in each area. The one in the sparkling river or whatever its called is in the second zone just before the "ruins", floating in the water near the top. It'll move and become grabbable later in the day. The one in the plains is in a second bandit camp that doesn't always spawn. In the spot where you first meet a bandit there's 3 directions you can go, the camp spawns south some of the time. The swamp one you need to get a cutting tool and go east in the main area with the bugs. Zone is full of slime so you'll have to dodge around the edges or just let it seal on you (there's really little down side and it actually increases your defense anyway.) You'll unlock a 4th schematic to actually build the gun once you've got those 3.

If you're missing that many armour schematics they might be the rubber set, all found in the swamp but you need to cut the chests open with a tool.

Holy shit, someone hacked all gay-furry games in the world simultaneously? Whats going on on site updates page?

 

[Detective Cancer]

Is that mf Nargacuga?
Of all the things to make into a horny furry boi.

A'ight, I'm in.

 

[Playfulpetfox]

I am utterly crestfallen that this was given so much more time and effort. A shame this travesty of a "game" kept us from more Grove content, and will continue to do so.

"This project was started because we wanted a side project to deviate to when we ran into burnout" -GroveDev.

Either that or Grove can die after the dev's second burnout, like every other unfinished furry games (Kobold Adventure for example). People are tend to discover more interesting things after side projects. Aside from the grind, I found Prowler's gameplay much more entertaining, considering Grove following the old RoR formula. On a plus side the dev's can implement some new mechanics, which would make Grove better too.

 

[nekku]

can anyone tell me what i should do to get past this? i think im having a bug since the lurkers here doesn't have sprite

 

[nekku]

[kaine3d]

ooo mc looks pretty cool..... then saw the gay tag DOH o well enjoy you lucky bastards

 

[redscale]

Anyone know where to use green slab key that you get after finishing the game?

Go to the jungle holding area and up into the room with the milker that you get put in after failing the green light trap, there's a door there you can open for a cosmetic.
