RPGM Star Knightess Aura [v0.50.1] [aura-dev]

[zoomzoomzoom]

humorously enough, the loss is entirely due to the recent change to voting power, and if the dev had decided to change the bonus to say... 10x instead then the bonus vote wouldn't have mattered. I'm sad the majority vote lost though. I'm pretty sure the twintails would look better in the CGs.

The hair that won just don't fit the "situation". x25 voting power for the $30 patrons was too much lmao

Well the good news is that I think that Auradev has learned and reduced voting power a bit moving forward.

Is it possible to hack a save to bump my alicia relationship so the night club scenes can trigger?

In theory yes, in practice your relationship being too low hints at some other underlying problem and sidestepping that might cause further issues down the line. But yeah, you can use some rpgmaker save editor to change the variable 302 (Alicia Relationship Variable).

>Poll won by paying damages community.
>slightly voting power in future polls
>Still take that result

Lmao.

The worst part was that it was literally one single person in the higher tiers shifting it,
The funniest part is that the change would have led to the exact same result, literally nothing has changed really

Thank you, I will attach the file here before I mess with it just for your reference.

Alright, after Pretentious Goblin's ultra persistent advertisement for this game in the Recommendation forums, I'm giving it a shot. Good thing that I'm in the mood for some real gameplay eroge.

So quick question. What's a good difficulty setting for someone who likes a challenge but not tediousness? Basically, is normal actually easy mode, or is it challenging in its own right?

Normal should give you a decent challenge first time around even if you're experienced with JRPGs.

Just starting the main game after finishing the intro, but the gameplay systems in place seem quite promising. I like the corruption set up and the NTR potential too.

But man... my cringe meter fills up a bit whenever they are doing the "shout each other's name" routine. I'm sure this is intentionally campy anime styled, but I can only take so much of that.

Charlotte doesn't join me during Winged Pig Thief quest. She just stands at the farm or in the Guild house...
The game is completely broken. I soloed the Mothercrow, yet I cannot turn the quest in the guild...The same with the slime. The party leaves me once I walk through the chasm.
I have to start the whole game from the beginning...

Is she not in your party when you go to the quest site? If not, was she in jail when you accepted the quest? Party members don't follow you around, they just quietly join you whenever you're in an area for specific quests.

I think you got the quests mixed up.

For Winged Pig Thief, you don't kill the Mothercrow, you kill the Avian, that you find by walking down from the farm.

I do believe the dude at the farm mentions "South" as the direction...

There's no time limit to the game, though Corruption creeps up at a slow and steady pace so theoretically on a very drawn-out game you could run out of mental changes, Corruption would overflow and you'd get the Game Over ending. How long depends on your other Corruption sources like H-scenes, removing the collar and doing Vice actions.

Aside from some early-game Earth scenes, no events are tied to specific days either.

There are a few game mechanics that look at how many days have passed. Most importantly I suppose, demon generals become stronger after day 100. Which is irrelevant if you're willing to use Star Knightess on them. Overall, nothing to stress about. I recommend not following a step-by-step guide, especially since game mechanics are changing pretty frequently. Check out the

Hmmm, are you saying if we do a slut playthrough, it will lead to a game over sooner or later? Is this game designed around NG+, with the expectation that you will keep restarting with incremental perma boosts? Isn't the game super long though? It would suck to keep redoing the beginning all the time.

I wouldn't worry, there are hundreds of mental changes to make so simply doing the H-scenes isn't nearly enough to overtake the corruption sinks. But there are some other variables: How much you use Star Knightess; how many scenes you do pink (which doubles the Corruption); whether/how many drugs you use; how many days you spend farming gold at the jobs. Overall, so far the game is very beatable on Normal. However, if you do every H-scene that is offered, you'll have numerous debuffs that affect Willpower, plus there will be more and more bebuffs coming from the mental changes too. So a highly corrupted Aura, though rich and with high stats, may have a hard time in the last stretch.

I'm playing on hard. So far it seems ok. But the workshop does seem expensive because of doubled price.

Am I supposed to use all the materials on Enhance Equipment? Or are there any other uses for those?

Once you have learnt to summon a slime (at the Refugee Camp), you can feed any material to it to power it up. It's free but makes the slime a little more expensive to summon each time. You can also sell the materials, and some can be turned into items you can buy at the Alchemist (though to access these options you will need to sell Star Metals to the Trademond blacksmith at a lower price, so there is that opportunity cost).

So I trashed one of the study books for my first one. I'm thinking this was a mistake? How many books are there to replace trashed ones? I only got fashion book so far. For a smooth progression, should I trash the second study book or switch to the isekai books?

I feel like getting useless knowledge will be bad when I still have a lot of books to read. Also, I think trashing the isekai ones might be needed to decrease Rosa rel enough to proceed?

Nearly every mental change is needed sooner or later (main exception are the machines that let you mess with fetishes and sensitivities). So every one of those books is going to be trashed and replaced. I do the interest books first, but it's no big deal. As a heads-up, the second set of mental rooms has the same thing to a much stronger degree. Read every non-lewd book you can before you start pumping knowledge, because once you're done it becomes almost impossible.

Do I need to read Luck is a Skill book? That takes so many days.

No, it's a literal ingame scam. I shouldn't have said "every book". There are some that you might decide to skip if you don't need their effect, like the one that buffs a specific Earth spell.
