Because of how renpy works, many modifications that have been made come into conflict and crash the game or don't work properly. I don't recommend carrying over old saves.
Hi, SpiU! I just found this game the other day and I'm checking in on something I saw posted here a couple of months ago...
So we start the game with 1000 aureus. In order to unlock the economical healing option, we have to lose a fight, which subtracts 1000 aureus. That new healing option then costs 150 aureus moving forward. But now we're at 0 aureus.
So, are we supposed to just death-grind until we start completing quests? Are we expected to take the loan from the innkeeper? Winning fights only gives like 21 aureus, and it seems impossible to grind and heal since we get so little money.
If I lost the fight (and went to 0 aureus), am I now screwed since I didn't get the loan in the beginning? If I took the loan, I could at least have afforded the starter sword. But doing this out of order means you can't even get the sword anymore.
I guess what I'm asking is what would you say the 'best start' to the game is? It seems extremely unfair based on what I've seen so far. I know you mentioned that you're working on other ways to reduce the grind, but in the current build, what is the strongest start? I'm thinking it's:
1) Immediately take the loan. Go into debt.
2) Go to weapon shop, buy the sword. This leaves you with 800 aureus.
3) Lose a fight to unlock the 'cheaper' healing. Losing a fight brings you to 0 aureus.
4) Start grinding and hope you don't die now that you have a sword.
Does this sound right, or am I missing something obvious? Like, is there a way I should be defending in combat? Or is it just a straight up slug-fest where my only option is to attack?
Yup that's the way!, the loan doesn't affect you in any way and let's you get the sword immediately. It will only affect the innkeeper route in the future.
You can also buy the sword/pick and go mining since dying doesn't make you lose your ore along with milking the cowgirl which unlocks after getting the flower girl heal.
The slaver route is currently the most developed with s3x animations from the servants but I'm also trying to add a good route, unfortunately you can only unlock the golem servant atm and she doesn't have an animation.
There is currently no way to defend in combat, only getting better armor
The biggest problem with the grind is that I'm still adding progression, therefore it doesn't feel like a smooth slope upwards but a hard jump, once you a servant or magic and lvl1 armor, the game becomes very easy (I think), then I need to add ways to let the player make more money once they are there and so on.
Thank you for your insight, I appreciate if you have anymore in the future :)
No, thank you for responding! I restarted since I didn't really get anywhere the last time I played. With the knowledge I got from that first attempt (and what you mentioned in your post!) I was able to get situated pretty well. Started by purchasing the pick, and with good RNG managed to buy a sword shortly afterwards. Didn't even take the loan yet, I'm just going to ignore it until it becomes part of a route later on. Thanks again!
Hi hello, can I ask, I see that there's a female main character to pick, but it says that it's not available. I'm wondering if it's patreon exclusive or something like that, or is just that you're still working on it? As a girl myself I love when this kinda games let you play as something different from a man, and was wondering about it.
Thanks in advance and I'll play anyways and give you some feedback as I see you're doing this because you like it ^^
Hi! Unfortunately as of now there is no playable female (actually futanari) main character. The plan right now is to finish the main story (first part), solidify the gameplay and then release the futa route on patreon (fingers crossed), but it will be a while!
Well, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Just in case I'll make a poll about it and see what patreons think, so you can get the excitement back. :)
Fun game but it would be easier to farm girls if the camera didn't keep defaulting to the starting position. Shops would be more convenient if you could see how much money you have. Girls having random chat dialogue would be better than just showing their stats as that should just be displayed when looking at them. Easier to see which ones are low instead of asking them individually and dialogue would give them some personality. Any plans to tame the golem girl? I've captured all the girls so far and fed them milk.
Yes!, I do plan to make the golem girls tamable, I'm still working out the details, since I also want to make them available for people who don't follow the "slaves" route.
could you elaborate on the "camera keeps defaulting"?
In this adventure I keep having to move the camera back to the area I'm focused on which is slightly inconveniencing. Light Fairies are easier as their territory is in the default area of the camera.
Plains of Prax is not as bad as even though Female Slimes are more common in the area to the far right they still show up commonly at the ruins. Still if I moved the camera over there it jerking back to default is me fighting with the camera to get the task done.
God, you're adding futa and ntr on top of having a female protag? You've essentially sealed the fate of this game to never be popular. Take a hint from successful fevs like NLT and Darkcookie. I guess ill come back in half a year when the games abandoned due to no supporters
This is a hobby, not really trying to pander to anyone. (I'm not adding a female protag btw) Anyway, these other choices I wanted them to be completely optional as in you have to actively seek them out, other than that it's kind of vanilla-ish?. Thanks for your input :)
You're game is already dead and you dont even know it. Adding NTR to a harem game is the lowest IQ move possible. Its too late to regret it once you add it, as from then on you will be known as that cuck and no one will support you. At least with Futa you could add a female version and people wont care, but NTR inherently destroys any story its in. Optional or not.
I think I got 1.2 but even though the download page said that the game still reports 1.0. Originally seen this over on F95. Adjusted a few settings you may want to consider like version number in options, the size of the save thumbnail, padding for the game_menu, and a link to Itch.io in the about page.
Just played a bit of it gotta say love the art and the gameplay mechanics although it kind of seems like you have to get that loan since your gonna sink all your money into hp pots.
I do have some critic on the character design for the male slime. To be fair its more of a personal preference but to preface my suggestion, the female version is good looking, no doubt about it, but I'd like to see that same standard on the male ver, you can make an androgenous version of the female slime (like remove the boobs), say it's the male slime and call it a week (because i know it'll take a whole lot of time to implement such a change). I know you are probably a solo dev so its unlikely you'll implement this so if you do or don't is fine by me. Also for the male bandit I say he's fine the way you implemented him.
Overall I like your game and its art. Good luck on your game and I'm sure it won't be long till people hear of it.
Yup, only nine so far. There won't be more for a bit until the game system is more or less properly established. I don't want people having to complete the quests over and over to access the new contents (some changes wreck save files).
could be usefull, at the moment the only way i was able to make any profit was to beat the bandid boss and with the 3000 buy armor and after that i was able to start making a little profit instead of losing money each battle even including selling at the slave trader.
The money from quests went into potions witch i could get fewer after each: battle > slave trader > buy potion > repeat.
It was prety much mandatory to take out the loan to get the 1st sword so i still have to pay the loan.
It's more economical to heal fully from the flower girl, but you have to die first hehe.
I am currently working on more "honest" ways to earn money besides the cowgirls and the quests while increasing the slave trader options, I expect that as I add more content and the progression expands the grind will become more alleviated (if not, I'll just take direct action)
I know the game is new, but in this version. The game will end after you've defeated the bandit correct? I'm just confused as to what im supposed to do after
The game has potential, but maybe tone down the difficulty a bit. The first boss is frustrating to deal with with only the first sword and armor, and earning money for buying new gear is tedious and extremely slow (assuming one doesn't decide to go into the slave trading route). Art's great though. Would like to see more of this.

Is SpiU alr? bro hasnt posted in a while or anythin
Hello!, Yes! I am alive and working on the game at a snail's pace, due to health issues, but I'm getting there.
Thanks you for your concern.
Damn hope you feel better soon man
waiting for the version with futanari.
Sorry, I've been seriously ill for a while there and everything came to a complete halt, I've been getting back into development slowly BUT surely :).
How do I carry saves over to a new version?
Because of how renpy works, many modifications that have been made come into conflict and crash the game or don't work properly.
I don't recommend carrying over old saves.

Okey thank you, it's good to know ^^
I thought you werent adding a female protag? Combined with NTR that kills any excitement for this game
Well are futanari's considered female protags? and is having a harem considered NTRing the girls?
No and no but having a Futa protag is just the same as a female. Still takes away time that could be spent on the male
Well, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.
Just in case I'll make a poll about it and see what patreons think, so you can get the excitement back.

Lets say I wanted to farm Forest Elementals which I did.

I will keep trying to make it better.

Ah, I was more toward "Sharing" than "NTR" but I might not be up to date on what defines it.
More like some girls get jealous but maybe I was wrong.
Rats.
i'm waiting for the content only futanari i like futa games, i don't like games with male characters.
I will have to start working on that soon then.
ok I'll be waiting anxiously, thank you for your attention
I think I got 1.2 but even though the download page said that the game still reports 1.0. Originally seen this over on F95.

You can review what I changed with https://winmerge.org
Hopefully someday there will be an option to keep slaves for yourself instead of just selling them off.
Thank you for this information and the changes (I tend to overlook small details)
I can't help but find it funny that someone posted it in F95.
I will make a system to keep the slaves but I am still unsure how to incorporate it and give more options than just "bang" them.
Just played a bit of it gotta say love the art and the gameplay mechanics although it kind of seems like you have to get that loan since your gonna sink all your money into hp pots.

First off nice art can't wait to play
+ Will NTR/Sharing & futa content be optional?
Futa; yes.
NTR/sharing; depends if you follow certain love interests.
I wait for next UPD
This version have just 9 Quests?
Yup, only nine so far.
There won't be more for a bit until the game system is more or less properly established.
I don't want people having to complete the quests over and over to access the new contents (some changes wreck save files).
Hi, any NTR/Sharing content?
Not yet
So, I can expect it in the near future?
If I can draw and animate fast enough, yes
is there anywhere you can heal for free?
Not at the moment
could be usefull, at the moment the only way i was able to make any profit was to beat the bandid boss and with the 3000 buy armor and after that i was able to start making a little profit instead of losing money each battle even including selling at the slave trader.
The money from quests went into potions witch i could get fewer after each: battle > slave trader > buy potion > repeat.

I am currently working on more "honest" ways to earn money besides the cowgirls and the quests while increasing the slave trader options, I expect that as I add more content and the progression expands the grind will become more alleviated (if not, I'll just take direct action)
i was not aware the flowergirl can heal you.
Is there going to be futa/dickgirl stuff in this game?
Yes, eventually and optional
Show post...
Hopefully by optional you mean there will be a real female alternative version
I know the game is new, but in this version. The game will end after you've defeated the bandit correct? I'm just confused as to what im supposed to do after
You defeat the bandit and turn in the quest and that's pretty much it
The game has potential, but maybe tone down the difficulty a bit. The first boss is frustrating to deal with with only the first sword and armor, and earning money for buying new gear is tedious and extremely slow (assuming one doesn't decide to go into the slave trading route).
Art's great though. Would like to see more of this.
Thank you, I will work on it!
