Yeah, sorry about that.

I'm taking longer between uploads so that I can properly bugtest in my discord before releasing it on itch.

I know how frustrating it can be when you have to constantly replay stuff due to bugs and crashes.

I've heard less feedback regarding major issues with .26 so hopefully it's pretty stable compared to prior versions.
No worries, bugs happen. But yeah I think they prevented me from reaching the end of the story at the time. Glad to hear they're being taken care of.
The game is great, can't wait to see where it goes!

Thanks for letting me know!~ I found out the problem, so It'll be fixed when .27 gets released.

I've played through the game twice now and I really like the characters and writing, however I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to start the Kobold Quarter questline that is mentioned in the 0.23 version update. Additionally Every time I try out the Maid bad end I get an error when pressing 'Serve...' that immediately crashes the game. I can get the same 2 or 3 events, but I think it is crashing when trying to play any of the others. Lastly, I'm not sure if it intentional, but the only time I have seen a characters 'love' change is Rubim during the games intro, beyond that no events or choices raise or lower it, only Respect.
Other than that I am really enjoying what is on offer and can't wait to see where the project develops from here.

Thank you for playing!~

After unlocking the Kobold Quarters through progressing the main story, you should be able to return there and go through the side content for the area.

I found the issue with the maid ending and fixed it for .27.

I'll have a look at the bad ending content overall and polish it up before I push through the update.

Love as a stat isn't fully implimented yet, largely because such drastic changes to their relationship dynamic will make certain antagonistic interactions not make sense character-wise.

Might be more useful for main story branches in the future, with possible romance related dialogue options being locked behind completing the side content for that character.

Hello I just wanted to say that I love your game, but I have a couple of suggestions for you.

1. fading animation takes too long in the menu which isn't a big problem but a tad annoying

2. the text animation is very annoying, putting an option that would let me disable text animation would make the game way more enjoyable for me. I have to do 2 clicks every single time I want to skip which is a huge hassle, and adding this option would greatly improve qol imo.

3. save and load menu needs refining because it's too crude of a system.

4. this is my personal opinion, but, adding more imagery for scenes would also make your game far more accessible to the people, since most people like visuals and don't bother with only text games.

Thank you for playing my game!~ ^v^

1. I've halved the fade animation durations for .27, though it also makes the transitions more abrupt. It was previously transitioning in 60 steps, but now does it in 30, any lower and it looks far too abrupt imo.

2. There's plans to add buttons that autoplay as well as speed up dialogue, which will save you having to click constantly through scenes.
There's a potential issue having it skip too fast because there are script events built into the scene's dialogue, but i'll keep an eye on how this functions as I work on .27

3. Save and loading has been improved for .27, including an autosave function.

4. I commission an artist who I work with to produce character or background art, but the rate of comissions are limited by my part time income, so it's usually 1 or 2 $80 commissions a month. I do have a patreon set up to supplement the costs of adding stuff to the game that I can't do alone, but without it the progress will be slow and steady.

NSFW artwork is planned after the main character art and background art is completed for Act 1

Thank you for taking the time to offer your thoughts on the game, I hope I can continue to make content that you enjoy! <3

After repeated attempts I am afraid to say the Kobold Quarter stuff just doesn't work for me, any time I enter it just says I can leave and won't give any other options, no matter where I am in the story.

Since responding, I've received similar issues from other users, so i'll be sure to look into it more closely and figure out the issue for .27
