The first chapter takes place a few years before Argonauts of Kastalim (the Cursed Forest is the old name, but Zion either can't or doesn't know how to update the thread's title)

is this complete?
Zion is going to finish the main series' first game first before continuing this side game.

In May, barring any huge problem/delay, working on chapter two should be resumed and finished in a relatively short time.

I got tired of just how damn slow the combat animations in this game are so I created a mod that trims the combat animations (spells and attacks) into still images that will just flash for a fraction of a second.
Note that combat is still slow as it is still doing some other nonsense like making the attacking character grow and shrink to indicate who attacked or flashing the screen. But it is a lot faster than before.

The mod was created using chapter 1 ver 2, however it should work for all future versions too.
It just edits png files to trim the animations into a single still image. I also did not randomly trim but instead selected an appropriate single frame for each spell

To install the mod simply extract it into the warlock saga root folder (ex: D:\games\Hentai\WarlockSaga\)
and select overwrite all.

Because I like the art and the story I very much wanted to like the game and give it a good score... but I just can't. I can't play this, and I can't give it more than 1 stars. However I am going to put up and explain exactly how it can be fixed (won't even be that much work to fix)

The game is currently unplayable.
It has the potential to be a 4 or a 5 star game. but currently I am forced to give it a 1 star.

Low hanging fruit that should be easily implemented and will make this go from 1 star to 3 stars:

suggestions that can push it higher. but might take more work:

I feel like you haven't met a single femdom game fan, Dialogue is our life blood.

This is what made me laugh and completely disregard everything else lol (that and his terrible logic for his 1 star. "I liked everything except a bit of the combat, so I'm giving the lowest rating possible")

The hentai scenes are literally made for FEMDOM fans. With love interests/concubines exceptions.

But it was good for the lolz

The game works just fine for me but perhaps you can explain how someone can write so much when the game is unplayable. Did you fondle with the files a bit and made them perform shadow games at a bonfire? :unsure:
As I explained in that post. The issue is that the RPG portion is horribly unbalanced, extremely grindy, and has a bunch of wrist breaking anti features that sap your will to live.

it is "unplayable" in the same way that a really really ugly person is "unfuckable".
Yes a really really ugly person can in fact insert a penis / get a penis inserted into them, and that will technically be fucking.
But we still say they are unfuckable.

You should become a comedian. Or a drama actor.

Warlock Saga is different than the main series. You can easily become strong by:
-Summoning allies (Orc summon really helps at the beginning)
-Buying spells
-Buying equipment

If you tried to buy equipment or spells from anything above tier 1, yes, it would be very grindy, because you are not supposed to get them at chapter ONE.

Now, you can easily sell what you made of defeated enemies and buy tier 1 equipment and spells.

Chapter 2 enemies will drop more items for you to sell that will be more valuable, so you can easily buy tier 2 equipment and spells.

I like that all spells are available for the player in the first chapter already.

WS is very easy for you to adapt and become a powerhouse. But it's not the generic rpg way.

1. You can summon orcs? how? there is zero mention of it in the game. the orcs I killed dropped generic lesser demonic essence not orc essence.

2. equipment price scaling is insane. It starts off semi reasonable with equipment piece that gives +1 defense costs 150... but by the +5 it costs 100,000. This is utterly insane scaling.

3. spells have the same price scaling. and more expensive spells are mostly trash. Your basic spell is 5 mana for the same damage as hitting something with basic attack. the basic ice and fire spells deal roughly the same amount of damage too. subsequent spells deal more but are insanely more expensive mana-wise. making them completely impractical to actually use in combat.
Even if you use a 100k spell that costs a whopping 75 mana, a full 15x more mana that the basic magical spell you start with. it does not deal anywhere near that much damage. So the "upgraded" spells are in fact downgrades due to being less efficient.

incidentally potions are unreasonably expensive too. Also by being % recover means the cheap potions are only usable out of combat.... and the 99 item limit is really harsh for cheap potions. (basic potion is 10% restore. so you need to use many of them after each combat).
If you tried to buy equipment or spells from anything above tier 1, yes, it would be very grindy, because you are not supposed to get them at chapter ONE.
Yes they are available in chapter 1, which is all there is of the game right now.
In fact I calculated it out and it would take roughly 10 days of working 16 hours a day farming money in this game to even get close to buying a full set of spells and equipment for you and the imp.

This is not about becoming a powerhouse, this is about punishing unfun game-play. Everything is designed to waste as much of the player's time and patience as possible.
Walking simulator your way to an enemy. Fight 1 enemy. Walking simulator your way back to town. Go to sleep to restore your HP and MP. Now go to the market. suffer through the same long drawn out dialog for a merchant, and sell him the merch trash you picked up.
repeat this as you slowly slowly slowly upgrade your gear.

Yea, realistically you will grind several hours to get a set of +2 or maybe +3 gear. But still... just... so many bad design choices.
RPGM is already notoriously bad and this game dials all the faults up to 11.

And it is not just me. Look at the reviews, about half the reviews point out how bad the RPG segment of the game is.
