I'm playing this game over and I don't know which version it is. The version over there has a major flaw: intermittent crashing, usually during animated scenes. Has this issue been fixed in the version available here? I'm currently stuck at the Jade tit job in the gym scene and the game keeps crashing before it can end no matter how many times I reload the game.

Also, bit of a gripe, but the MC is an idiot; he's taking way too long to get laid. There's no reason why he shouldn't have had several sex scenes by now--hell, that orc princess was begging for it at their first meeting and he failed to provide. Everything so far has either been blow or tit jobs, which are boring because teases are not main events, yet this game treats them as if they are.

I have never experienced crashing, its most likely because you are playing the game on a random site that isnt up to date.

MC isnt the kind of guy to just rush into sex without a care. Also he 100% has things he cares a lot more about than having sex(like the fact that he has a violent stalker), remember at the start of the game he really didn't have any friends aside from Gillie, so the second he meets a bunch of new women (most of which dont have the best disposition towards men) he isn't going to rush dick first into them, he is trying to make friends or build an emotional connection before he wants to have sex with them.

You might be different, but personally I prefer when the characters have an emotional bond or connection before they have sex, to me it makes the scenes feel more romantic and enjoyable.

Once the clothes come off, the emotional bond has been established. This is a game, after all, not reality. If I wanted to go through the tedium of working a girl before bedding her, then I'd go outside. As for your response to the first half of my comment, I'll go ahead and download this game to my computer and see if I can get better luck. Given what the main page says, however, it seems like I'll have to start over again.

in the options you can enable skip unseen text, which will make your replaying a bit easier.

You know, I've never understood that option. If the text is unseen, then how am I supposed to see it in the first place?
The skip function lets you go quickly back through text you've already seen, read, or at least passed before.
If you enable the option to skip "Unseen Text" then the skip function also jumps over text that you haven't had displayed yet. It's there for people who want to skip passed sections of dialogue.
Although, personally I'd say if you're going to do that you might want to find a new game. The story is easily the best part of this novel, and skipping through it simply means you're missing out on an interesting tale. If you read the developer's notes you'll even see that the story is written by an acclaimed fantasy author.

TL;DR - In short, if you're looking for a quick fap, this title probably isn't for you.

Hey, brother, welcome to the forum.

I've never even heard of gamcore, and I think I found your issue:
1723271416069.png
Their version is MASSIVELY out of date. Not only that, but they made it browser-based, which probably breaks a few things in the game somehow. Not a coding expert, so I couldn't tell you what. Their version is even before the Season 1 rework that I did, doctoring up some of the terrible decisions I made when I was first writing this story. The ONLY official places to download/play this story are and here.

It also seems in stealing my game and uploading it to gamcore, they failed to keep my descriptions and disclaimers intact.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what gamcore claims this is: a porn game. Which it is not. It's a story that happens to feature sexual content along the way, and takes time before you actually get down and dirty with anyone. Once you hit Season 2, you'll unlock this screen:
Final_Roster.png
This is where the real meat and bones is gonna be. This is where you actually get to get down and dirty with the girls. But again, it takes time. For most of these characters, you have to make an impact in their life somehow, or solve a problem they can't solve themselves. When there IS sexual content, though, it's elaborate. It's not the typical porn game garbage of "1 position, 3 speeds, then bust." I hate that shit. I have sex scenes that are 30+ video loops long.

Now, expecting what you expected is not your fault. Gamcore told you this was a porn game. Porn games typically feature the ThunderChad McChickMagnet MC who starts off perfect and has all the ladies fawning over him no matter how bad he treats them... that's not this. Aurum is an MC who has his own story arc, his own flaws, his own lessons he has to learn. He's too passive. Too white-knighty. Too willing to put others before himself, even at his own expense. And it's gonna cost him. In fact, I only allowed players to rename him because it was a very common thing to do in AVNs like this. Otherwise, you'd be playing "Aurum," not whatever name you gave him. That's how much he differs from your standard porn game MC.

We're doing something different here, and I'm well aware that this is not everyone's desired experience. If you're frustrated by slow pacing, hesitant MC, learning that one of the cuties is trans, having to break through a veil of radical feminism to prove that its school of thought is horribly wrong... this may not be the experience for you. I'd highly recommend taking a look at the Itch.io page and, if it still sounds like something you wanna experience, playing the OFFICIAL version, which you will find to be a little bit different from the version gamcore has. Heck, they don't even have Season 2, and I'm in the process of dropping the 3rd episode of Season 2 as we speak. They're missing like half the story.

Anyways, thanks for stopping in, and I hope this clarifies some things. If this ain't your cup of tea and you move on to something else, totally understand. But if you stay and end up enjoying the story for what it is, happy to have ya.

Dude the game's several hours long for all the content... If you consider that the tedium of working a real girl, why the fuck are you here and not out there getting real.
I don't mind VNs like this when I'm in the mood for them. When I go to gamcore, I'm not in the mood. As for why I'm not getting laid for real, long story short, I'm a bit isolated at the moment and work is keeping me busy. I turn to porn games to fill the void in the interim since their set ups are superior to those of porn videos.

It also seems in stealing my game and uploading it to gamcore, they failed to keep my descriptions and disclaimers intact.

As I said above, I am not in the right mindset for a VN like this but I like them just fine when I'm in the mood. I'll be sure to check it out later when I am. Thanks for all of the valuable information that you've provided me.

It's interesting looking at the Character Book picture that River is in the Secret section, while the crossroads pianist character is in Core.
I would think it would be the other way around. Hmm... perhaps an insider's view of things to come.

My character book didn't have nearly that many profile pictures, did I do something wrong?

That's how it used to be, her and Cecilia both in Core. But people got so uppity about being "forced" to interact with those two that I decided to make their content opt-in only, and the Secret characters all have unlock conditions, so that was the best way to do things.

That's what I was hoping.
And Mick is right. That shot was taken in debug mode to display the full roster. It's available in the #wca-character-roster channel in the Discord, so it's not exactly secret knowledge, but I figured y'all might appreciate a little preview of what's planned :)

Sorry you had to deal with uppity whining. To be blunt, I'm just glad they're still part of the game as I love all the content I've seen so far. Admittedly I have a soft spot for River; she is just too precious.

Thanks for the preview. It is most appreciated. :D

Playing v1.2.2.2 and I think the story involving the flower bracelet and the two girls is bugged. Last the flower bracelet was ever mentioned was MC commenting on the texture of it after it getting a preservation spell cast on. There was new dialogue about getting the choice to say who it's from when we give it to the elf; to say it's just from us, just from the library girl, or from both of us.

Later on the elf girl is shown wearing it despite never actually being given it.

Also, I thought the Harpy girl was getting written out of the game, but both her scenes are still in the game
