Okay, I'm assuming English is not your first language. With that said, I'm going to quote your questions below, reworded as how I understand them, then give my answers. This way, you can at least see the way I read your question.


___________________________________________________________
Question 1: "1.- Why has the MC not yet promoted to Samantha and Shadow? Of all the girls, only they have not yet promoted; At least that the fairy form is the ascended form of Shadow and maybe later, let's see Samantha's ascended form."

My interpretation of that question: "Why has the MC not yet ascended Samantha and Shade? Of all the girls, only they have not yet ascended."

Part of what you are saying here is not accurate. First of all, Fade (as a fairy) was cursed to live in that form initially. MC released her from that, revealing her true form. Shade was never cursed and doesn't need to ascend. She is already a product of the 'shade' (her namesake) just like Fade is already a product of the 'fade' (her namesake). On a similar note, Samantha was already a succubus demon. But her power was taken away by MC early in chapter 1. He gave it back to her in chapter 2, episode 4.

___________________________________________________________
Question 2: "2.- Could it be that there will be some more history after defeating Anastasia, or after defeating it, the game will end?"

My interpretation of that question: "Will there be more history revealed once Anastasia is defeated? Will the game end after that?"

I am not sure what you're looking for (historically) outside of maybe other things MC might learn from Fereldan. But yes, the game will end after her defeat, but it will take a few episodes to end it (it won't just END abruptly right there). It will probably have a couple of branches where you can choose how to end it.

___________________________________________________________
Question 3: "3.- Do the girls who already had power, after their ascent do they receive another or change power? I ask, because some girls like the Morgana demon, before his rise, his power was to block barriers or something. When ascending became the demon of the storm, which implies that it acquired another power or change of power."

My interpretation of that question: "After ascending, do some of the girls 'ascend' again and some not?"

I think you are forgetting that Morgan was written into Serenity by MC's mother. Morganna is the 'real life' person she was created to look like. MC's mom wrote her into Serenity as a demon because she was angry with her... a problem she later regretted and apologized to her for. Morgan was always a demon, just like the others you mentioned. But to answer your question, yes, some girls ascend only once, while others ascended, then unlock a bit more power later - like Rin. Using her anger, she unlocked her full dragon form. Morgan was able to unlock more power (ascend) due to her desire to do good - not be a 'bad demon'. So she became a Tempest.

___________________________________________________________
Question 4: "4.- If they change power or acquire another: What are the powers of some girls after ascending? I say it, because some are confusing, for example: the dragon girl (I think it's called Rin), after he ascended, sometimes he shows a power, but sometimes another shows."

I'm not going to try to rewrite this one. But I'll answer with what I think you want to know...
First of all, there are six girls in MC's harem: Kat, Jasmine, Lena, Rin, Morgan, and Trixy. All of the other girls are purely external love interests or play a smaller part in the main plot - except for Lili (Valkyrie). Although not technically part of the main harem, she has a major role in the plot. Below are the main harem and what their powers are:

Kat - Seraphim Angel - Powers: Light of Judgement, All seeing (can see anyone, almost anywhere)
Jasmine - Flame Goddess - Powers: Everything FIRE. If she wills it, it burns.
Lena - Angel of Pleasure (Dark Lena - Angel of Pain) - Powers: Lena can bring pleasure and healing to any living thing with nerves in the body. Alternatively, in her "Dark Lena" form, she can bring pain to those same nerves.
Rin - Cat Dragon / Fury Dragon - Powers: Rin is the tank. Unbreakable, extreme strength and speed. In Fury form, she is larger and everything is amplified. She can only hold that form for a limited time.
Morgan - Tempest Demon - Powers: Elemental, climate controlling (thunder, lightning, water, earth magic, etc)
Trixy - Angel of Time - Powers: the only power of Trixy's revealed so far is her super speed. But she has another really interesting power that hasn't been revealed yet (and I really don't want to spoil that here).


For what its worth: Serenity will have 2 chapters total. Chapter 1 is completed. I am finishing Chapter 2. Chapter 2 is made up of episodes (my latest update added episode 4). I am guessing it should end up with around 9 episodes total, possibly 10 before the ending of the series.

Chapter 1 was is a chaotic mess, both in the writing and in the way I organized that story. It is possible that someday I will redo that one with episodes, better writing, and better organization... and it would be just a bit longer than it is currently.

Thank you for answering my questions. Indeed, English is not my mother tongue, and used a translator to write; I understand a few things in English, but not so many. I see and understand what they write in this blog, thanks to the translator that comes in browsers. Regarding question 2, I asked the question for a reason. It is assumed that MC is a god of dreams and desires and as I understand, sometimes the power that a God possesses is above several creatures or beings (witches, magicians, dragons, etc.), so sometimes it is a very low percentage, that a creature or be with power (like those I said before) can fight or represent a threat to someone as strong as a god; Especially what MC's sister told Trixy in Chapter 1, when she wanted to defeat her brother: "If my mother does the ritual and my brother reaches her ascencion, he could erase us just by thinking about it". So, here I have another question: why would a witch like the final boss of this game or a major threat to the protagonist? I understand that the witch has some power, but both to level the protagonist in its ascended form? I hope that my comments, questions and observations do not intend to anger or disturb. I know you are the creator of this game and I must say that Serenity is a great game; Since I started playing chapter 1 last Thursday, I hooked with it. Although if in the future, you plan to develop a sequel to Serenity, I have 2 ideas that could give you: 1.- The witch is not the true threat, and that it was only a pawn (as was the father of the MC) of someone much darker; Someone who at the time was just as good as the protagonist, but who was later forgotten. 2.- The dark character would still have a harem, but the girls (formerly girls who were good), now they would be corrupted by dark power and would be the same or stronger than the witch.

Because MC isn't technically the "god" he is supposed to be (yet). Anastasia holds the last piece he needs to ascend to that level. They call him the god of wishes and dreams, but only because they know it is his destiny to become that. Because he is not a fully powered up 'god' yet, it means this fight won't be as simple or as quickly resolved (as many issues were in the past).
As for what Camilla said about him wiping them out with a thought back in chapter 1, she had no idea he was not fully ascended yet. But she also didn't know that he was already more powerful than her.

Ok, now I understand. The protagonist's powers are great, I say, it has immortality; The power to create things; teleport to other sites; Telepatia, which serves to listen to the thoughts and desires of others. I hope that at some point in history I can use the power of nightmares, which is linked to your left hand.

Spellcheck the word shield from now on. Once was a mistake, twice was bad, three times is a problem.

Also Cammie totally wants to bang her brother, but apparently we're the prude here...

It's no secret that I just don't like characters made in DAZ, which is why I won't try to learn it and make games that way. But there are a few DAZ devs out there that have done pretty well with it and Glace was one of those. But Glace's issue was that he was an obsessive perfectionist. Constantly wanting to change everything. He kept making headway, then starting over again... over and over and over. I understood it, partially... because at some point, all of us who do this end up redoing shit. But Glace just couldn't stop, and I think that was part of the downfall. Aside from other personal issues he had of course. I loved the guy. He had an eye for scenes and rendering like few have. Such a gift and such a great story with a lot of potential. And he was a good renpy coder, helped me out on a few things when I first started. I'd love to see him make a big return. I hope he does.

It is. And the longer I do this, the more I constantly fight myself on redoing something I am working on. I really fight getting too obsessive with redoing and rewriting things. But yeah, I am guilty of it too. Just trying hard not to get to that point where I (re)do it so much that it never gets done.

George Lucas is famous for constantly rewriting... I think it's a pretty common curse of the creative. You do a pretty good job reining yourself in.
