RPGM Star Knightess Aura [v0.49.0] [aura-dev]

[GagaAmber22]

you fix this problem? i try at least 30-40 times... no result

Well I improvised a bit and it worked for me, although it required me more retries than I would've liked (T_T).
So let me explain it in steps :

1) I noticed that for reaching below 30 willpower, my corruption stat should be zero. And for further pink scenes I had to consume 1x Blessed Water before initiating the fight.

2) While initiating the fight with the Mutated Spore, I always removed the collar at the very start. However later I realized that it didn't work. So I waited until I reached 40 willpower in the normal state and after that I removed the collar and got my willpower till 20 which was the limit I guess (Because even after 100's of tries it never went below 20)
NOTE: You shouldn't regenerate your HP during this as it would just be wasting your Apples, just try to reload your save before the fight and try again if willpower doesn't go till 40 in normal state.

3) After defeating the enemy and collecting the items, I returned to Trademond and sold the collected Star Metal. I then gave the ingredients to the Alchemist:
2x Ether and 1x Mutated Spore.
Doing this gave me a 10% Discount on the items and then I bought 1xVitality Potion from him. I used this potion before asking him for a Discount(Lewd Scene).

4) After the lewd scene I bought 2x Mana Stones and 2x Vitality Potions. So in total I had to buy 3x Vitality Potions : 1 with 10% Discount, while 2 with added 40% Discount. (In walkthrough there were only 2 Vitality Potions mentioned)
After that, I followed the walkthrough while consuming 1 Vitality Potion before each scene on the day, and was able to get the pink versions for all of them. So it kind of worked for me..

I'm currently at Day 22, so if I further encounter any such things I'll inform them here. I request dev to fix this bug if possible, It will be very much appreciated. I hope this helps so please let me know if it works for you. Have a good day everyone

Since the guides are out of date and apparantly on the verge of deletion, I removed them from the OP.

Official Walkthrough from the developers side would be great. Like I'm just in for the story and don't want to miss anything out, so it would be awesome.

How can there be an "official" walkthrough? You decide whether you want Aura to remain pure or not, when to do lewd scenes or not, how much you rush progress or not, how many consumables you're willing to take, how much corruption is acceptable for you, etc.

The few walkthroughs there are/were are all fan-made, and all aim(ed) for very specific and niche play styles, like max pink scenes while playing on story mode or no-lewd on regular mode, or what have you.

There are no right or wrong paths, the game is what you make of it.

I'm not saying that an official walkthrough is a bad idea, but the current walkthroughs were mostly an attempt to optimize play for either seeing lewd scenes or avoid gaining lewdness. Neither is how I would actually suggest a new player do a first or second attempt at a playthrough.

I wouldn't suggest attempting a high purity playthrough on the first run both because they are significantly easier once you have game knowledge, they can require quite a bit of save scumming if you want to avoid gaining corruption, and there are a few key NG+ bonuses that I always want if I'm doing a purity run.

I wouldn't want to do an all pink scene playthrough because I don't really see a point to doing so anymore. There was a time during development where you needed to farm pink scenes to actually get past certain breakpoints. Those breakpoints aren't nearly as big of an issue anymore. Also, if you hit the pink version of every lewd scene, and aim to see every scene in one playthrough you get constantly bombarded with events that skip days, and it gets repetitive very quickly. It's also not possible to see every variant of every scene in a single playthrough. You also have to do things like farm mutated hydrangea fights to get low enough willpower to trigger pink versions of scenes.

There's also not a 'correct' way to corrupt Aura. You can rush to get her to the point of having sex as soon a possible. It's also possible to have Aura lose her virginity to George. She usually enjoys that experience, but there's even a variant of that scene where she doesn't enjoy it if you are have progressed far enough down the Roland corruption path. My point is that an "official walkthrough" would end up being more of a strategy guide, because the game is extremely open in the order you can do things and there are so many different ways to play this game.

oh... ok.. totally random, i reach 10 willpower once.
I'll keep trying, it looks like only blind luck will help me


Thx for feedback, I'll let you know if I succeeded or not

 

[smilee2110]

not gonna lie, the early art styles really turn me off (i played like 1-2hrs), does it get better later guys?

Are you planning to release this game on gog too?

All the art is done by the same person, so it's not going to change that much. The main character's appearance changes throughout the game though. If you don't like the look of the CG previews in the first post you probably won't like the rest of the scenes.

I usually avoid Western eroges but I gave this a shot and there's a genuinely impressive amount of quality and effort.

Got some way past the first Festival before aborting my playthrough to do it again. It's almost a combat puzzler instead of a traditional RPG. I love how you gotta maximize each day and use everything at your disposal.

Some tips for anyone reading so you don't have to suffer like I did lol. The game tells you these at various points but you don't realize how important it is until you're way behind the difficulty curve:

- Elemental spell into melee whack is your bread and butter for most enemies. Tactical weakness is a huge boon. Although it's sometimes better to melee an enemy twice.
- Use your consumables; Flash bombs against martials and regular bombs for single target DPS.
- Try to end each day reading or upgrading
- Blacksmith costs scale additively so don't burn shit tier mats on minor upgrades
- Everything has an opportunity cost, corruption increases every two days while holy water's price is also steadily increasing. Many spells and skills are simply not worth learning.

Fingers crossed for a lewd, non-NTR Aura path sometime in the far future, or maybe even a way to fix Alicia. Corruption and mindbreak are fun but NTR and Aura's transformation in this game are a little too.. heavy for my tastes . Great game though.

 

[thecorruptionfreek]

Good game. 2 feedback:
- The mind rooms need better indicators on how the users can progress the system, especially the appearance room (and also the interests room by smaller extend) where I spent hours trying to figure out why I wasn't progressing in two separate playthroughs
- I would suggest removing the game over screen all together, or at least make sure the first couple of dungeon have proper autosaves

 

[whittle]

One thing I have to wonder about some of the "oh no Aura transformation sad " statements I've seen is, have you guys actually done a non-corrupt playthrough? Aura isn't exactly an unblemished saint from the outset..

 

[MorshuJack]

( sorry bad english) The game has an ending called "Demon Queen Aura"?

 

[smkey21]

( sorry bad english) The game has an ending called "Demon Queen Aura"?

Yes. It's the only ending at the moment because the good ending hasn't been finished yet.

 

[JustJerkin]

I wish there were more games like this, something about the way it does corruption as literally brain rewiring plus several scenes in general are so hot, I remember seeing the dev say they were shooting for a 1.0 release by October 2024 awhile ago so I came to check in, looks like some great progress made but, damn, still keeping an eye on this though

 

[MorshuJack]

Yes. It's the only ending at the moment because the good ending hasn't been finished yet.

What do I need to do to get this ending?

 

[Zarkhy]

What do I need to do to get this ending?

Do the last mental change.

 

[GagaAmber22]

Does anyone have that Max. Lewdness Walkthrough copy, it got deleted by me by accident..

 

[dragonblood45]

does anyone have a full save

He said it's slated for Jan 2025.

1. Corruption Ending is done and only missing a last couple of CGs on the art side
2. Development of the content for the good ending and side content to help get it is currently in progress.
3. Estimated 1.0 release is currently the upcoming January.

I plan to further work on the game after the 1.0 release through the addition of additional side content, mostly focusing on further progression certain h-event chains, increasing the number of available choices, quality increases, etc. 1.0 will be by itself a complete experience, so even if I were to get hit by a bus after 1.0 is done and no further content wouldn't be produced, it's still already a properly finished game.

Sexual corruption and moral corruption are entirely separate things. I like games with the former but this game leans WAY too hard into the latter for my tastes. Still a top tier game but it's absolutely the thing I dislike the most about it.

One of the most frustrating things about the tagging system of this site is that I'm the opposite; I vastly prefer moral corruption (of the "character becomes evil" variety). That was the original meaning of "corruption" elsewhere on the internet, and it's been relatively recently that the other definition has occurred (ironically, a corruption itself).

The issue comes from how those two things are *vastly different* kinks, which leads to a nightmare for both sides to try to find games that fit their fetishes. It'd be much better if a new tag was created for one group to use that is separate.

That's not to say I want to take a strong stand that "corruption should only be used for morals/characters becoming evil/changing personality", but rather just that a different tag be used for sexual vs. moral corruption. It's hard to find content that fits my kink now that the definition has been muddled.
