first demo, i wasn't expecting it to last long but i enjoyed reading all the dialog´s, they where short, precise and they give you all the information that you need without adding 10 paragraphs to get to the point, i really like them.

the game: the engine in which this game has been build can give it a lot of points to this game, i have seen fantastic´s jobs in this engine, an as fart i have seen, it has so much potential to be done. so far there is just 25 minute content, for 400 mb its worth giving it a try.

the story: like i say before, i read all the dialog´s, all of them fit together in the story and im waiting to see how the story will be develop with the semi 2 protagonist, since the girls will have all the attention, im waiting like in a future the creator will add the ghost as a companion (like a support) or as an ability or something to help you in combat,

the sex scene so far there´s just 1 (or maybe i forget to check something) but i hope that in a future there will be a sex-combat mechanic, im up to game over scenes but need to die just to be able to unlock and GC scene...you know...its not something that everyone want to, luckily the game has the ability to kill yourself, yay :eazyHype:, but i hope that in a future the game mechanics will evolve in something bigger and better.

the mechanic: normal rpg mechanic, i hope to see some battle fck mechanic someday :eazyHype:

the idea of that all the choices that you will take matters its pretty great, but it will require a lot of work, the idea its pretty good, im waiting to see how it will develop, and also adding a small tip, dont add different dialog´s depending on your formation, most of us will never see those dialog´s, it will be better if you just add like more dialog options.

this game has so much potential, im waiting to see more tags, lesbianism, slavery and even corruption (chole knows what we want) also some mechanics like adding defeat events or different routes to the game that will affect drastically the story and the gameplay. im hype just by thinking in the possibilities:eazyHype::eazyHype:

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately I won't be including in combat sex in this game for the foreseeable future. I'm doing my best to avoid feature creep and make a game I can actually deliver on. The next planned game is a magical girl game which will have various beasties molesting the heroine in combat but don't expect that this year (a proof-of-concept later this year might not be pushing it though), if I manage it in that game I might revisit it in the game as a post-release update.

The only real combat update is the eventual goal of having the girls visible in combat (already works) and have progressive clothing damage (I know how to do this but the art isn't there yet).

The battle selection issue isn't really a 'bug' but a 'feature' of the plugin I'm using. Since the game's optimised for mouse use and side view battles there wasn't as much thought put into the targeting with directional keys, meaning that as you toggle left it moves through all available targets, including allies. The best I can maybe do in the short term is group enemies further to the right.

I've also noticed the delay in loading the maps as well and have already made a fix for it. Expect that to be solved in the next release.

well, its kinda sad that you arent including sex-combat but, i understand why, its a lot of work to animate all the variations and all those stuffs, i appreciate that you will be locating the enemies further in next updates to evade mistakes for keyboard users.

i wish the best for u, so far the concept of the game looks good and promising, keep working pal :eazyHype:

OH! *sees Mind Control/Hypnosis tags and heart shaped pupils* Okay, you got me. I. Am. INTERESTED!
Now let's see what you got...
*plays game*
Okay well it's not what I was suddenly hoping for, but great demo. Can't wait to see the actual game and I REALLY hope there'll be some really nice ways to mess around with the characters. :D

Generally I like what you did with this. The maps are nice, I love it that there's some exploring involved and the fact that monsters are actual ENTITIES and not random encounters is GLORIOUS so thank you for that! :heartcoveredeyes:
Bugs and typos are rampant everywhere, but I can see that you had enough work with making the world and all these great lighting effect for this demo so it's cool, but in case you're not good with proofreading make sure to have someone or set up a bug report thing for the users since it'll help a lot in the long run. :)

The mind control isn't a main theme, sorry, it was a few rungs down the genre list but the mod who moved this thread added the tags.

Plans for 0.2 have the first brush with this fetish where the heroines are hired to collect an artefact that when in the hands of the requester will allow him to use some of the more malicious functions. Afterwards you will be able to find this guy in other locations as he controls the girls to further his goals, but it's very much side content and can be missed entirely (if you explored the forest you can find the camp belonging to this person in the demo). There will be other one-off and chain events that explore this fetish on a smaller level.

Can you remember any of the bugs or typos off the top of your head? I'd like to keep on top of these whilst I have time to work on the game.

Yeah, that's okay I get it. :)

Áh, so it's more about other characters using it and not a player mechanic. Too bad, but still okay. Can't wait for the new stuff. :D

Well the texts WERE long so I can't start listing them without replaying the game, but a general pointer is for example the intro where it has several word doubling problems and those come up a few times over the story as well.

Bugs are luckily mainly unexpected behavior that were already mentioned by others like the map load delay(that you already fixed internally) and the weird targeting in battles where the fire attack actually only hit my party and I wasn't able to change the targets of that one where every other attack works. So it's either broken or targeting unexpectedly changes for that one attack with is ALSO a bug not a feature(don't change controls around just to change them), but I guess it might be that the plugin you use has some default settings and you weren't able to change all of them yet. :p

If I get the time to play again and start recording problems I'll get back to you, but generally these are small problems for a demo so just don't worry. ;)

Redid Fayte's busts (used a reference this time instead of drawing from imagination). Going to crash now. Have Chloe's done tomorrow then start working through all the game CGs. 0.1 should at least look a bit better.

Hey, thanks a lot! This is nice thing to wake up to.

I'm not accepting any pledges until 0.3 comes and then it's pledges by major update rather than monthly so don't feel you need to rush into supporting this yet. I'll be posting a public release here a couple of weeks after the patron version as well when the time comes.

So far not too bad, but I'm finding the flashing in the hunter's cabin scene really, really annoying.

I'm loving the art style. Feels sort of, I don't know how to explain it, like classic porn game art style, but updated?
Anyway, looks fun, gonna try it now :)

the game has a lot of interesting takes on some ideas. the maps are a little glitchy though and the characters go a little off model once or twice but those two things are easily fixable with experience. its unfortunate that mind control takes a back seat as its one of my top 5 kinks but thats ok. the game seems like it will be filled with plenty of sexy times and im definitly anticipating more =)

Yeah, I'm planning a kind of shotgun approach to fetishes in this game rather than in depth focus. As the game takes you around the kingdom I'll be hitting a lot of one-off events of small chains that will explore a fetish each, ie. you'll run into a mage testing out a time stop spell in one city and in another you might end up getting a bad end after a run in with a slave trader.

Finally found some time to play this. So far I love it. No complaints.
Chloe is just a treat. Precious perverted cinnamon bun.''Fayte, don't become a meat toilet without me...'' XD
Don't worry, Chloe. If it's up to me you'll both become meat toilets together. :evilsmile:
Former Minstrel truly was an inspiration to all men. Rest well, oh great perverted one. Hentai Gods watch over thee.

Interesting and very good for a demo! I really like the female MC games even though I'm a dude. I played this a few days ago but don't remember any glitches or anything significant regarding spelling. Thanks for requesting game feedback but more importantly thanks for being receptive to that feedback without appearing to be overly defensive. Looking forward to what comes next!
