Is there a ren'py version of this game? Or a version that doesn't require my to grind for hours on end to get to the good parts?

I don't mind slow burn, but when it's locked behind a lot of specific actions it gets frustrating.

The number of people I have seen complaining about having to 'grind' or the game being 'grindy' fascinates me. I wonder how many of them just assume the game has grind after not playing it at all or only starting the first zone, vs. how many of them just don't know what the term grind is referring to in gaming.
Eh... I guess it's possible that they are all playing on the easiest setting where wasting time and resources on all the meaningless fights isn't alerting them to the fact that faceplanting into every encounter isn't how you're supposed to play this game. End of mini-rant. Don't mind me.

I'm predicating most of it from having played a year ago and uninstalling because I had no idea what to do. Realised I missed out on a great game so I reinstalled and now have to follow a pretty long guide to get progress. It's quite off putting.

You might change your mind on this after the cutscene that marks the end of chapter 2.
Interesting, can't wait to see what direction that will take me in. I was going to follow it through no matter where the story takes me, I just need to build up a bit of courage before I dive back in.

Not gonna lie I am one of em. I haven't really played proper rpg game where you are expected to level up alottt. So yeah I do feel its grindy but since I realised it is supposed to be played like that I will try my best to grind.

I haven't had an issue with the 'grind', but I can take a guess on why people might complain. A lot of porn games have made it the default to have 'instant gratification' options (Instant unlockable galleries, and/or quick access to h-events). Star Knightess Aura doesn't try to separate the h-events from the gameplay loop, and currently (as far as I'm aware of) doesn't have unlockable galleries. So most of the grind complainers are probably just ppl who come in maybe expecting certain conveniences so they can jack off quickly, but end up having to actually play an interesting rpg. There's certain games I'm only doing instant gratification options. It's usually because I find the scenario hot, but don't want to actually spend the time playing through everytime it gets updated. Same here I'd assume.

There seems to be a bug at least for me. After defeating the bandit king. I re-enable collar removal. Now I cannot duel with Roland and take the second ball. It appears that map is slide a little or smt

Awesome capable game, but totally ruined by the difficulty.

If you reach the figth against Arwin, you'll have to win a hard boss battle several timesevery of them feeling longer and more boring than the last.

You can win it if you stored a lot of money (if you didn't, it's likely many if not all of your saves are doomed).

Really bad design choice there. Too bad.

In fact, if you know what to do at the Festival, you don't have to fight Arwin properly at all. Just Star Knightess him 3 times. This is one part of the game where following a step-by-step guide is a good idea.

Hmm, both v34 and v35 have had most of the updates in it unobtainable. Any word on the fixes to make the new content accessible?
I don't know what you're talking about.

Could you give a specific example of what new content is "unobtainable"?

when previous end game content is no longer the end game content your supposed to nerf it so people have an easier time getting to the new content.

The fight is already a joke and nerfed to boot. You can use your insta-win Star Knightess form for each of the initial battles.

The last one, after the pokemon battle portion, isn't a gimmie, you can actually mess that one up, but it's still soooooo easy.

I had the same problem--jumping left me stranded in mid-air, unable to move-- but I thought it just wasn't quite finished. The rope down to Richard's domain leads to another unfinished area.
