Does anyone understand the combat? It makes no sense to me at all. How do I enter the finisher stage and chose catch or grab and such? I can't ever initiate it. Also what is the first and second phase buttons do? Seriously, nothing makes sense. I clicked the question mark that gives me a quick rundown of the combat, but it doesn't seem to translate what so ever. Some times I attack a person 4 or 6 times, and some times I attack different people 2 times. How do I control that? I'm so lost.

If you refuse to support me because I don't support piracy of my own content, it would be a weird reason to not like a creator, tbh. If you push yourself so badly to hate me, I really cannot do anything. Even I try to explain myself to everyone here, I fail it time to time clearly.

If you got a problem with me, you can tell me directly here or elsewhere. I just not met with anyone yet to tell their problem with me privately here. People prefer to turn their personal problems into a show rather than tell them directly to the person they are talking to, which I find not so mature.



For example, this, what do you mean by that? You want to name me as a developer who does not care it's own product? Did you report any bug and I did not work on it before? Really? Did you report this bug before and I did not touch it? Why are you trying so hard to denigrate me? Do you have a bad day? Angry to someone? What are you trying to achieve?



I asked you some details about this bug. That guy just tries to harm me for some reason.
Drages Keep on Keeping on and FUCK ALL THOSE HATERS!!! Because I can respect a person who can take the time to fix their mistakes and not just give up you have earned my upmost highest respect I hope you keep working on ToM can't Wait until its fully finished.

Nice game, there isn't many games about cows around. I notice a bug in the ritual screen where the animation freezes when I use the skip animation button. The button locks and the screen gets stuck.

Hey! Thx for enlightening some of the confusing stuff. I am adding some lines to the tutorial to clarify those parts.
Shortly:
- Phases are already explained at tutorial, you hit more with more phases. You already get the info at the info box down there.
- For finishers, yes you need to choose a finisher attack but you need to learn them via Violence Talent tree first.
- Laura can change target every phase, charge is on target, punch is mostly on target and kick is the most random one. This is for creating a chaotic battle feeling.

Nice game, there isn't many games about cows around. I notice a bug in the ritual screen where the animation freezes when I use the skip animation button. The button locks and the screen gets stuck.

The game works just fine, I could do a few rituals without problems. But every now end then, the skip button locks itself and freezes the animation and I have to close the game.
When I open it again I notice the prisoner retains the stats like health they had when the animation froze. I tried to replicate it but since I need to reload the game, it takes a few minutes with my pc, every time it was taking to long to figure something out. My best guess is when I click to skip too many times too fast it bugs out something.
The skip button locks like the unlearned combat buttons and I can interact with it. The play and pause button still work, when I unpause the animations start moving again, I imagine is like a default pose, but when it seems to start going through the animation queue it freezes.

...
I have had this happen a couple times, it seems to happen when you use the skip button when the current ritual action is too close to being finished and the game tries to skip it but it's timer is already over so it locks the game while trying to skip an animation that is not there.

I tried to play it on the steam deck using proton compatibility on steam and unfortunately I get the same issue except it's much worse. White screen/background on the "main" screen where it lists all your stats, etc. and in a couple other places. I suspect it has something to do with the file structure issue the game has as it works just fine on my PC but when you are running the game through a proton profile (which inevitably has a really deep file structure, along with a ".") it doesn't like it one bit.

I don't remember if I read it here on the thread or in the readme.txt file that come with the game, but it recommends to not use very longer folder path. Try move the files back a few folders to cut the path length. Something from C/: folder1/folder2/.../ foldern/TOM -> C/:TOM would be ideal.

Yes, however the problem can't be fixed on steam deck because running the game with proton through steam creates a completely different file path that is quite deep. It also includes special characters like periods(because linux). It's very strange issue.

Hello there.
So i have a question about this game. I have the 0.79 version from one of the links on here. It has animations so im guessing its unsupported by the developer which i can understand. But an issue I am having is the game says doing rituals with one of the captured people and they survive with a filled ending to it, it should raise there grade. But having tried it with many captives none of there grades gain any xp. So is this version just broken or am i doing something wrong?

Another question i have is with the Hippo god lady, sorry my ability to remember names is horrible, how do you fulfill her quests? She has something like execute 6 males. I have slayed many males during combat and have also devoured and executed many males from the cage menu but no progress has been made to her quests.

As for the game itself the explanations you added worked great and i can understand how to do everything in combat and all that. Very good choice there. The combat is easy to understand and do. The potion making is as well, although it seems kinda pointless to make potions. The animations are all good in the rituals and the ones under the use and activities section are good as well. This is definitely a unique game as in there are not a lot of pure brutal stuff like this with this kind of quality out there. Im glad you found an audience that can support what you like to make.

Thx for kind words. I need to answer this kindness!

You fill the prey with filled endings. You see the fill bar of the prey. After that you need to do other activities to turn it to grade, like smother ones.

Execute means, to use slay option on beaten enemies, same for breed, breed beaten enemies. This will be changed and will be way easier with new build very soon.

I hope you support someday. Thx!

Ah ha ok that makes sense. Cool Cool. Thanks for the clarification. As i was messing around another thing i can say is i like how the different systems in the cage menus work together.

Ahha. That makes sense. Thank you for the clarification. Although i just tried it now and ending a ritual with the prey being filled doesnt actually give them any fill in the filled bar shown in the cage menu lol. I can fill them with actions from the use menu so that still works. Then there it is the grade goes up with smother actions. Sorry for being dumb and not getting that.

As per supporting I am one of those old people that just cant bring myself to pay for an unfinished product. I understand you need money to continue to develop the game especially when paying other people. But i have been screwed by this kinda thing a few times in the past and vowed i would never support anything unfinished again. Please dont think this is at all directed at you but too many times in the past i have seen developers either disappear or move on to other projects or just seem to drag on the project with very little added to milk patreon support. Its just not something i will ever be comfortable with. Best of luck to you and keep on being awesome lol!

Yeah, after you, we noticed that filling via ritual is bugged, fixed for next build.

Early access and adult game development history got many examples like you said. If you cannot trust for future, just think you got hours of content already :). Anyway, thx for unintentional bug report :p.

Hey Drages i dont want to keep bugging you so just ignore me if i am bothering you. But after playing this game for a few hours i have a question and possibly a suggestion if you are up for that.
This is a game all about exploiting these prey for benefits from the gods and such. So my question is how do you raise your max health? Is it just by leveling up? The combat xp seems a little low after a few hours of playing I only made it to like level 20ish. So i cheated and without starting a new game to check it seems like max health and cum and milk levels only raised by a little bit even after cheating up to level 90. I maxed the gifts trees out fairly easily doing rituals.
So my suggestion, and sorry if you have already stated something like this but i havent read it, how about using the devour option from the cage menu? Right now the devour option is kind of pointless except maybe to get a quick heal but you can just rest to do that. So what if devouring prey raises your max health by 5 and your max cum and milk levels by 1 for every 2 levels of grade or something like that? Just another way of using the natural resources of this island lol.

Hey, nope, bug reports or suggestions never bugs me. Game "stat" development is bugged right now. The calculations wanted to stop to calculate for a reason we don't know so increasing Laura main stats do not work as they should give you max HP, more damage and such.

Cage devour is to get protein from the preys with grade. Protein becomes Laura's stats as she works out. The Constitution stat would be increase your suggested stats if not bugged.

We are cleaning all the bugs right now, even delayed this month's build as some code will be rewritten.
