Not too tech saavy.

Is there a reason to download the JAR over a windows version? I found out APK is for phones.

When a new version is outI notice its always for JAR and APK first, are windows and JAR savefiles compatible?

Just download the latest windows version AND the recent .jar, unpack the windows version where you want and unpack and replace the .jar file with the most recent version, then launch the game with the .exe

is everything futa? That's one thing that makes me uncomfortable, I love the art style the girls look pretty alright assuming they don't have a dick somewhere. Is there anything for me in this game?
There is like, two or three actual girls in this game
Brothel Madame, elf lady, the shopkeep or whatever in the human town, the mermaid...
The Angel, Helena and Gadgeteer/Strange Merchant also have art; and in text, there's Daisy and Rose at the brothel.

Meanwhile, more pointless complaints:
  • It's easy to forget you have "Cheat Mode" on, and "corrupt" a playthrough with it. Save files don't even record whether cheating was employed or not.
  • The first time you reach the outpost, you have to select "Take a carriage", or you won't be able to reach it by carriage later. You don't have to select "Yes" on the next menu and actually take the carriage, but if you don't, you have to go back and fight one of the guardians again if you want to continue to the third map.
  • You can only reach the outpost from the second map. When you pass from the third to the second, you land on the outpost without being able to directly enter it.
  • The general linear, railroaded nature of "Story Mode" (at least when I last played it); reducing the game to point assignments and battle tactics, and being so difficult that you're basically forced to find one optimal set and stick to it.
  • Why was "The Indestructible" added? By the time you've ground enough to afford it, you're way past needing it.
  • Isn't there any way to bypass having to load over a gigabyte of assets into memory? Loading low-res versions first (except for text) and hi-res ones gradually, maybe?
  • Having companions eat your food seems like punishing the player for having fun. If they're so helpless, how'd they survive long enough to meet you? Urka and Alma don't even give any benefits.

true, luckly its very simple to turn of if you would like

no

move to another node, turn down encounter, then back

Females exist in this universe. But futas are better.
Hmm... I do not think it has been actually established whether the shopkeeper is a futa or not... I do not believe there are any sex scenes with her. Also, it is a matter of debate whether the mermaid and Selkie the female goblin should be considered futas or not - both possess phallic organs, but in both cases, those are used for oviposition rather then for insemination. It has been hinted as well that the wasp woman fertilizes her eggs with the sperm she previously collected from her "mates" rather then her own, but the gender or species of those "mates" were never established (so, it is unclear whether the wasp-women are actually hermaphroditic or if there are also "drone-men" in their species).

  • Why was "The Indestructible" added? By the time you've ground enough to afford it, you're way past needing it.
With right stats, you can steal it even if you cannot afford to pay for it.

I was considering subbing to the devs patreon but it says it charges you for every post??? Wouldn't that be a lot of money?

It does indeed say that, which is confusing because that's definitely not how it should work. Does anyone else know what the hell is going on with that or can offer clarification? That's honestly the first Patreon creator I've ever seen to claim that kind of payment arrangement. I was under the impression that Patreon, not the creators, handle when and how often someone is actually charged.

As I remember when I was still a backer, he is correct in the sense that the 5 dollar tier for example will not cost him 5 dollars at the months end like many creators do it. It will cost 5 dollars times the amount of chapters or game updates they feel are substantial. So lets say there are 4 game updates/chapters/art posts in all the updates they do that they feel like deserve money,not every single post, youd pay 20 bucks total at the end of the month. This also took me by surprise back then. I have no idea if it was changed since then but since he is referring to PER PICTURE OR CHAPTER, OR GAME UPDATE, I assume it hasnt.
ok well thats a no go then lol. No way am I paying that much for the amount of content that is offered. Good game but if they do one small update a week thats a least 20 a month.

That is not how it works. This was already explained here, by the developer themselves. Search the thread for more info.
Checked it, correct, it seems you can now set a limit. This was not the case when I backed the game and it did work like that back then.

Deleted my initial post so that people dont get misled.

so what if you set a limit you only get that number of posts out of however many are posted?
As they explained it, the pay per update model is a precursor from the time when the patreon account was used for thier art and stories mainly and it isnt easily possible to switch it now. You can say you want to pay 5 dollars max for the 5 dollar tier but they enabled that you would still see all the content of the 5 dollar tier. You just have to actually select it when making the pledge.

Edit: One of the times adressed if you want to read it yourself. Sorry, it has been some time since I was a backer, didnt know it was actually changed, makes it way better though.

As I've said numerous times, this is false: see the attached image. You can set a monthly maximum on Patreon pledges to a Per Update creator, and that does not have any effect on Patreon's functionality. Anyone in the Bunny Tier sees all Bunny Tier posts, which is all you need to access the weekly builds. We only use it for determining how many votes someone gets in the patron surveys.

The only reason we are a per update Patreon is that our Patreon was originally for our art and stories, not for ToA. We had the Patreon for over a year before ToA began development. At the time, we posted art for free to hentai foundry once or twice a month, so we made it a per-update Patreon so people could incentivize us to post more often if they wanted to. Based on that support, we started to post four guaranteed updates a month, split between art and stories, and we've continued that since then. When ToA started development, only one of those four updates were ToA-related; now all of our work is put into ToA.
