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

[smkey21]

With, presumably, the next update coming soon, I had a question for those of you that have been following this game longer than I. Are the updates typically pretty large? I looked over the changelogs and it looks like a pretty good chunk of content gets added each time, but wanted to double check.

Gameplay wise, not a whole lot has been added, but I think this week is going to have work done on a new zone, and Trihan mentioned work on a Roland related quest. Content wise the final areas of Aura's mind are starting to get functionality added, and Earth scenes are getting added to catch up to mental changes that don't have scenes yet.
Regarding the size of the updates, they are usually a mix of main story progression and side content to give additional options to solve harder bits from the last couple updates. The actual playtime can end up varying quite a bit though, because story parts with multiple outcomes don't seem like as much content as single outcome areas unless you explore all the possibilities. My advice (unless you just want to play every version) would be to check the first monthly release's changelog (as it's a complied list of all the pervious month's changes) to see if there's anything you're excited to see, and if not, just play every 2+ updated depending on your preferences. The New Game Plus feature can also be a fun diversion between updates. Starting with skills you get pretty late into a playthrough can lead to pretty interesting differences between playthroughs.

I can't for the life of me find the entrance to the Eastern Forest of Runes, can a kind soul help me out?
Edit: nevermind I'm an idiot, I just found it.

Can I remove some curses? It's so annoying.
Just for example:
*Stomach of Gluttony and Tongue of Envy - annoying things in any battle

There are a lot of situations where I have to start the game from the beginning
because I haven’t thought so much about actions in the game.

Am I understanding correctly that every 100 days all bosses increase their stats?
How much do they increase stats?

It's not that they increase every 100 days; what happens is that if you encounter demon generals before day 100, their stats are reduced by 75% (so 25% of their usual amount). From day 100 onwards, they will be at 100%.

From what I can tell, while Bosses after day 100 are at full strength, the biggest story impact is mountainreach, where npcs die if you get there too late.

Plot wise it's likely Aura will be stuck with all of the curses she accumulates until you beat the game. It's possible that Aura could run into a person with a unique ability to suppress the curses or something. The quest where Aura receives a minor curse while rescuing a merchant goes into more detail about the semi-permanent curses in case you're curious.

Remove them, not currently.

But you can get a weaker version of most of them, and avoid one completely.

Those two you mentioned are the newest ones, and I'm not sure if such an option exists for them (yet).

They do. You can get through without Stomach of Gluttony at all and with Tongue of Envy in a weaker (Dormant) state. It may not be likely for a new player on their first run at Normal difficulty, though. (Without cheating.)

I think there might be a bug with the chest in Lord Nephlune's mansion - it says it gives you 4k, but after opening it, including what I had before (less than 1k, I think) I have about 2.5k.

Thanks for the report! Fixed.

It seems like the game is more hardcore if I choose slut scenes in the game but it's boring without these scenes.
It's like avoiding some main content in the game.
I find "Lona RPG" to be an easier game than "S.K. Aura"
because I won Lona just by grinding and spending endless time on it,
but I got stuck for the third time in Aura and want to start the game again and try to avoid any slut events.
I keep lowering the difficulty level each time, and now I've reached the humiliating Explorer mode
because I hate critical game over timers in games. :'(
There's no way to reduce Corruption Points indefinitely.
There's no time for neverending grind as I like in Dark Souls and Lona RPG hardcore type games on Normal difficulty.
But still I like Aura the game concept and rich level design of the game.

PS "Aura" the game has really top of Level Design of all H-games, I think. It's so fun to explore new locations.

I don't understand the concept of lower difficulty levels in games being "humiliating". You're not more hardcore or cooler if you're able to play a given game on higher difficulty levels, any more than you're lesser for needing to dial things back. The gaming capabilities of humanity are widely varied and the entire point of games is to have fun, unless you're playing them professionally at a competitive level. If the difficulty of a given game is diminishing the fun you're having, then by all means reduce it. There should never be any shame in that; nobody's playing your version of the game except you.

In other many games I choose max difficulty and feel okay but Aura has concept:
"I haven't time and I need to think so much before make any step or I get game over and should to restart the game at all"
it's almost like "Fear n Hunger" but have more time to think.
I dropped "Fear n Hunger" but I can't stop playing "Aura" because of cool Level Design and some other ideas.
So, it's just only my strange trouble :')

PS In other words in many hardcore games, just for example "Lona RPG" and on max difficulty "Karryn's Prison" I found explorations to win games, but in Aura can't find any ideas how to cheat the game without reading the Guide or trying the game so much times at the start again and again to learn all the game"
But "Aura" is a very long game (so much cutscenes and dialogues), and it's madness to restart the game again and again without any shortcut.

Is there an invisible cap on Lewdness? I'm stuck on 17 even if I do stuff that would otherwise raise it.

 

[sakuya50]

Is there a way to unlock an cg event without doing it? i want to unlock spend a day masturbating 2 and you need to start the day with 0 willpower but im too faaaar ahead and i already did the contract with Hermann and aura end ups doing sex with Hermann rather than masturbate

Yes, some events have a lewdness cap at which it won't increase any further when doing the event.

Unfortunately not. The only way to unlock a scene for recollection is by viewing it; the switch that activates it is only turned on in the event that runs the original scene.

If you have access to a save editor, you can unlock it by turning on switch 429 - unlockedSpendingDayMasturbating2

That being said, Spending Day Masturbating 2 is just the repeat version of 1.
