Oh thanks for checking out the latest version on itch (in general, I'll post the latest version on f95 ~1wk after I post it on itch (I can't post patches as often on f95, so I want to make sure that f95 releases have less bugs))

Thanks for the bug reports, will look into them. Re: the first bug, for the time being you can hold the "force move" key to move instead of attacking.
Honestly didn't even know there was a force move option good to know. Also the x-ray ring is easily one of the best equipment additions. Would be fun if it had "other" effects :sneaky: I'm perfectly happy with it as is though.

Very cool game! A couple of minor nitpicks, I solo'd the pair on floor 10 and their dialogue seems to assume I'm in a party. Also once I got my equipment to +5, I wasn't sure how to get stronger from there because that seems to be the cap.
Looking forward to more

Should I not ask them to? It'd been quite a while since the last release here...
It's 100% ok!! Thanks for doing so / being interested in the game
I was gonna post to f95 ~1wk after posting to itch (I can't post patches as often on f95 so I wanted to make sure that the f95 release had less bugs) but given that someone else updating the thread is a possibility I'll just playtest more before posting to itch (which I should prob do anyways)

Do you level up by killing monsters? Or is farming just useless?
No; right now monsters are just obstacles
In the past I decided against monsters dropping experience pts and gold bc I wanted to support stealth/runaway builds (but I think to make this work I need to scatter more gold/loot in the dungeon in general)
However I have become more open to monsters dropping experience pts and gold because the game has become more party-based lately (stealth/runaway builds don't work well w/ party members that want to fight)
I will think about how to make the character progression better in the next version.

To be honest I didn't knew this game has stealth and runaway builds. I'm just 30 minutes in it.
I just equipped the items with the highest resistance and damage and just hit monsters since they always notice me anyway.
It it does not exist yet, a tutorial on items usage like books, and scroll would be appreciated in the game.

Should include a skip to new content or a save file if previous saves aren't supported, I'd need to replay the whole game to get back to where i was ^^

Need a save cause I am NOT playing from 0 again (my save is not compatible anymore ;( )

Hi thanks for the feedback. I can see how not supporting old saves sucks

I attached a save which has (1) some items and (2) old scenes flagged "seen". (Put the 2 files in `\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\ayumu98\The Demon Lord's Lover\0.6\save\*`)

FYI some of the new scenes in 0.8.x are "buildup" events (e.g. Miran handholding, Viola stretching, Viola massage, Viola handjob) which are supposed to happen before the sex scenes, but I guess it's not a big deal to see them out of order.
Also some old scenes have new cgs (e.g. Viola hot springs event has a new cg, Paila sex scene has a new paizuri cg) which are not accessible via the save bc these events have been flagged "seen"; you can see these cgs via the "Memories" menu.

I want to support old saves when I can, but...

My dream is for this game to be short (<4h) but replayable, via
* different builds (fighter, mage, etc)
* different parties (like baldurs gate 2)
* branching dungeon (like starfox 64)
* lots of random encounters
* (more concise dialogue)
So a lot of the future content will be added to the beginning/middle of the game which means an old save won't be able to experience all of it... For example, if I support a summoner build, an old save can't experience that bc the old save has powerful skills/items already. If I add a new companion who comments on various events, the old save can't experience that bc the old save saw those events already. If I add a branch to the beginning of the dungeon, the old save can't experience that bc the old save is too strong for that branch to be interesting.

I guess what I'm trying to say is even if I support old saves u might still feel like u wasted ur time. If you think that's a possibility I'd honestly just wait a year or so until the game is more solidified
