I cannot wait to join the guild and become The Two-handed Swordbearer!

Loving the game, the pace it is taking and the humour. However, bikinnis in a game set in a Middle-Age-like scenery look kind of out of place.
I was on the fence when I was adding those scenes. On one hand, I didn't want to add bikinis but on the other, I really wanted a swimming scene. I got a review saying they wear bikinis when they 'bathe' but I think our friend didn't really read the scene :BootyTime:.

The only medieval looking bikinis I found are basically burlap wraps that go around the chest and waist. I could go that way, but imo it's not visually appealing/all girls are wearing literally the same thing. What I plan on doing is lowering the saturation settings on the really bright bikinis. That may help a little.

TLDR: Welcome to 'modern-medieval' a made up tag that has medieval elements and pretty,clean people:LOL:

Thanks for playing, Lewis!

Humor done right!

Tried playing a certain other popular and humorous game. The dialogue was essentially:
"joke, meme, meme, joke, meme, REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

The humor here is perfect, and doesn't mess with the narrative flow at all. The jokes don't seem out of place. Very natural. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! humor is one part I'm always unsure of because my sense of humor is very random and abrupt (too much anime). It's nice to see people liking it though. Here's a star ! rotating-star.gif

you have to be very careful to not overdo it with humor. for example "Artemis" is a good looking game but has for my taste way to much humor in it. your's is perfect so far. not to stupid not to much :)

btw the scene with the blacksmith was my favorite, at the beginning :D

Good job again. It's great to have a group of mates – something that is sorely lacking in AVN's – and written so well. Great banter and funny scenes. Seems at the moment the story could be a somewhat classic hero's journey (really wouldn't mind). The classics are classics for a reason. Also how it was framed through humor may just be what will keep it fresh. It is however important that they are not complete clowns – nobody want's to play as a bumbling fool in the long run.

Lyra really knocked it out of the park this episode. Just the right amount of muscle. Hot.

Some clean up stuff to do, there was the "End of current version" text at the end of 0.2a content, even though the game continued. I'd also recommend adding a sign if a scene is auto-playing. There are some long image sequences here and it's easy to accidentally skip stuff if you keep clicking.

Thanks for that. I could probably compile the slides into a mini video and add a skip button at the bottom. Great tip!

Hello.

With each update, this game is becoming more and more enjoyable.
The humor is really well integrated (particurlarly when the king was talking with the guards about a person of high valor while seing what they were talking about at the campsite but I didn't forget the "wood" or the "horse"). I'm a fan of wordplay so I'm easy to please that way. I didn't even know cabbages were a new trend.
The story progresses a little. We encounter new important characters and deepen the presentation of the youngsters and other villagers we met.
The interludes are fun and diversed. And the hint button isn't spoiling anything, just stating if we found everything and what type of content we missed.
And the music is still well chosen.

On the nitpicking side :
Some conversations are focused on one character only. While it isn't a problem with Kegan since we already met him before, it's troublesome when new characters are introduced (the first conversation of the king during breakfast).
The wet hair of Aren (I don't even know why I found them strange).

On a general note :
About the kinks : since it's different for everyone, you should stay focused on those that you are comfortable with. I've seen many devs trying to put inside something to please and it didn't fit with the rest at all. Plus, you're already doing a good job so continue (the kiss on the neck at the end was sweet, it's often forgotten by devs to add foreplay). I understand the need to share their wishes though but the final choice is yours. And if you add specific ones, don't forget to put a choice before the scene.
About the settings : there are things that don't fit the medieval era and that could be toned down like you said but, outside specialist, I don't think the players will bother that much about it if the rest of the game is that good. Your 'modern-medieval' vision is a good idea.
About the dingdong : he is on the bigger side but don't feel out of proportion, plus it should lessen the issue when we are introduced with other's dick with a variety of type/shape/color to compare with. They could also have bigger attributes in this worldbuilding if you want too (and I won't talk about the big tits and ass we see everywhere that don't seem to bother anyone).
About the girls liking him too easily : well, it's easier to like someone with a good personnality that you've know like forever than a newcomer that acts like an asshole. But it's different liking someone and making the romance itself happen.

Good continuation.

Loving the game so far. Extremely well written and some relatively unique animations. Good work dev. How often can updates be expected?

That's so cool omg. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I'll add it to the thread right now.
Writing that dream scene was so amusing.

So far they've been once every 2 months (sadface). Next time you pray, send one for me being able to switch from my laptop to an actual PC. I'm trying a different development approach this time. IF that works, I'll be able to cut down development time by a lot. Thank you for playing and leaving a comment!

Ok, I just got to the part where the King is talking about "The Swordbearer" (nice title segue) and I started laughing out loud. Well played CC, well played. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:


Edit: just got to the "dream sequence". Laughed so hard I scared my cats. :eek::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

While I like this game, this is just a kinetic novel. The choices boil down to see scene/do not see scene.

Short version : Thanks for playing! The story is at a very vanilla place right now for meaningful choices to exist. It'll feel like forcing something impactful in a non impactful chapter.

Long version :

Just finished the latest update & the story has got me hooked, this game ticks every box which makes for an amazing VN. Also it is missing some tags like milf, monsters, paranormal, virgin, vaginal sex etc.

All the best to the dev!
