VN RPGM Abandoned Saria Reclaimed [v0.17] [Velminth]

[BigBiggieBig]

Unfortunately, this is probably the worst update the dev has put out. I will say that it has a lot of potential, but as it stands, the game is just way buggier and way jankier than it has ever been, the UI is extremely atrocious (Specially in the new minigame), there are so many bugs that it will take an hour to list them all (Looking at you, stamina bug).

My main gripe is just how terrible the UI is and how bland the sidejob is, the new combat system is whatever, I don't find it particularly fun, but it's not off-putting. The sidejob really needs to be fleshed out and there needs to be some manner of speed-up for it, either that or allow the player more actions per turn or something, it's just so slow and tedious at the moment.

I assume that most of the issues currently present will be fixed in future updates, but hopefully it doesn't take too long, V0.13 is way more palatable at the moment.

Another one bites the dust

Spoiler: v.0.14.2

Bugs in v.14.2
1. You can still access the RPGM battle menu in 14.2, but only some cards/attacks are available. It doesn't work in the first battle but after you add new cards to your deck some of them can be used from the menu without having the card in hand, even while knocked down. It still uses initiative. I'm still testing this its kinda weird. Also corruption reducing moves are available and fleeing. Not item use though, so water is more useless than ever lol.
2. You can use Energy Reserves or Sidestep and click a different card while the card is resolving and it will discard the second card instead. Obviously pretty useful if you want extra dodge or infinite stamina and card draw. I haven't gotten it to work with other cards such as zero cost lust cards.
3. Some cards will discard the card to their right when used. It happens consistently with Vivisect, Alleyway Shank, Blind Flail and Desperate Wail. I haven't tested all of them yet but I assume that all cards with split damage rolls do this.
3.5. Someone mentioned this previously but Blind Flail goes where you point it, no random targetting.
4. Groups of enemies all display the same body part for their interest in their status bar, regardless of their actual preference. Also the very top enemy status bar can be weirdly tricky to mouse over, sometimes it blinks out rapidly.
5. Not necessarily a bug but obviously unintended: you can equip tenets and accessories through the main menu equip screen. They don't provide their benefit and items equipped this way aren't available for the deck->accessory equip screen.
6. I'm not sure if you've seen this

Found a bug that deletes accessories when switching from a costume that has two slots to a costume with one, the accessory equipped in the second slot just gets deleted.

In other news Saria is really hot and I hope you don't get discouraged by coding and mechanics difficulties.

Where can you find the samurai outfit in the front page? i assume its somewhere in the heartland (the samurai part) but that like 2 screens (a small area unless i am missing something)

First impressions of v0.14.2
The encounter tracking misses more events in v.14 compared to v.13. Specifically CG events like Sentina The Smuggler and the Blue Orb won't track as First or Last Encounter and Virginity will remain even though cum milked is added. If you play normally the First Encounter is going to be Roughman which I thought was dull. I go out of my way for the unique recorded encounters. There are also the Guppi maggots in the first zone, but they didn't track in the previous version either unless you really cheesed corruption to unlock the initiate penetration skill which is clearly not intended and even harder now.

Also the card system currently is even more broken. If you just fill your deck with 0 turn stamina regain/+2 to hand and only 1 high value attack card you can endlessly fill your hand and refill stamina until you get 1 attack card each turn and nothing can touch you in Chapter 1 at least. The starter lewd cards seem to be entirely negative as they don't raise enemy pleasure, only Saria's. As is the only way to increase enemy arousal is to take pleasure attacks and the only way to make those more survivable is to keep corruption as low as possible which means never using most of the lewd cards which leads to a very passive playstyle if you want to win with arousal. There just aren't enough encounters currently to rack up corruption to unlock more unless you spam escape and farm the same enemy.

Still I think it's a more interesting system than the more default rpg mechanics.

They do sex-attacks constantly, whether you're dressed or not.
What are you even talking about?

In my playing, unless they already have the horny status when you start the fight no enemies do sex attacks. The only way for them to get the horny status is for you Saria to be naked.

Almost no enemies have the horny status when a fight starts, so if you're not nude there's almost no sex attacks. And like I said, only the one enemy type in my play through that used stripping attacks before Saria is knocked down is the enemies in the area after the slime boss (larval guppies maybe?).

It may also be down to play style, since I tend to go for a pure run until corruption sets in at first, to try and play how the character would likely act at the start rather than a porno character.

The lady in the Razed Village gives it to you. I think you have to help her husband in Raising Ribs Valley first. Give him the Trog Gland, then head NE to where the Celestial Hound is, SE to the Razed Village she's in the last house.

So if you get out of cards, they game soft lock? What can I do? It doesn't allow me to do anything.
Ok, I think I got it, there is a button top center side next to the left pussy text, you can pass your turn there.

 

[Werrino]

the last update completely broke the game, why switching combat mode? plust the ex menu can be still opened with arrows

played for like 30 mins and broke it like 5 times...

At the top of the screen, you have the 3 options foe Run(Boot), Pass(a circle), and Item (Sword).

Thank you, I saw the circle pass turn but I didn't notice the boot and the sword, great.

you have to hit a button at the top of the screen to start the next round. I can't describe it well, so at the risk of seeming patronizing, see picture below.


It is not explained very well in game, if at all.

Edit: dang, too slow.

 

[spillywilly]

The update has great content but is extremely buggy. I think it was a bit rushed. The new mechanic is buggy af.

 

[Bask-0a]

To be honest, this card system is way better than normal repetitive smash x to win turn combat, and the lewd cards has potential to make the game even hottter.

 

[caiqueleo]

I like the card system, even if its limited now i can see how good it can be.

PS: invalid discord invitation or private server?

You can actually just spam Energy Reserve from the old RPG maker menu if you want to. Means you need to take a one turn kill or run out of willpower to lose a combat. You can access a second menu if you just click down before enter. Use whatever you want really.

Sadly I don't think a single thing in the massage job works. No matter what I do they storm off angry.

i tried to do that but i cant talk to her, keyboards controls dont work and going with mouse just positions saria above her.

 

[26suspects]

anyone know a good way to get actual sex scenes in combat? either the enemies cum before it happens or saria runs out of willpower, or the scene happens and then the next turn they cum. ive tried messing with the cheats to make my willpower go super high but even if i change it to 500 or something stupid the game still says i have 100 willpower. maybe im not understanding how to use the cheats

 

[DemonLord98]

I also really kinda fucking hate the stamina for the message. Give us back our infinite stamina cheat please!

 

[Deleted member 3859876]

btw there's a lot new voicelines for the masseuse job, but they only show up when Saria's face is gone, and often plays like 2-3 voice lines at the same time
