v2c4m4.4 Public Release!

Google Drive v2c4m4.4

The expanded resolution and fullscreen options are in the game, but still a bit quirky.  Sometimes images will shrink or expand from the borders, but never enough to compromise the scene.  I think as a whole it makes the game better so we're going to run with it as is for now and try to fix the inconsistencies for chapter 5!

v2c4m4

  1. I just started playing your game and I really like it so far but I wanted to ask if my future harem members (I only have 4 in my fighting party right now) will get exp from enemies I beat before they join me. If not I want to save my side quests till they are all recruited. Thanks and keep up the great work please.

    1. Thanks!

      Don't worry about that. When a slave is recruited she's brought up to the main characters level. Same thing happens if she's forced out of the party for a bit (ex whoring)

    2. Sweet thanks for the quick reply I'll start running the side quests then. I was curious though are there any optional harem members you can recruit atm? I know you get a different if your evil than if your good.

      Delete
    3. Yep. Joan, Naitay and Fiona are only available through sidequests.

  2. I'm having problems with Vanessa's scene, if there is one. Well, i talked to Vanessa then Sarah was allowed to train Vanessa's army for her, when the training finished and Vanessa invited for dinner, i bought the white dress for Sarah in the item shop and that is it, the scene stopped and i can't finda Vanessa or Sarah anymore, Sarah doe not appears in Castra nor in the motel and i searched Lesser Corsix for then and nothing. I don't know if it's a bug or that i'm doing something wrong, but please help, Sarah is the main fighter in my battles and i can't use her anymore

    2. Can you send your save to haremrpg@gmail.com so I can try to figure out what happened?

  3. Strange. I transferred over my saves from the prior version. When I did, Cecilia instantly had a new customer tale for me. After listening and I took her off from the brothel, it said she still had one left, but if I talk with her while she's in the brothel, it says she has no unique customers left. I'm guessing this is a bug? Do I have to play the whole game again to fix it?:\

    1. While I do monthly release, things like the brothel stories really don't increment over time. All the slaves get their stories when they whore, just it takes me time to develop them.

      So Cecilia only has 1 story, and if you saw it that's working as planned. If she's still reporting one available that's a bug that I'll fix, but no reason to replay the game.

      Unless of course you want to!

  4. apologies in advance if this isn't the proper place to report these, but i'm having technical issues

    When i go to recruit Heather, the scene starts, but then crashes half way saying 'access denied' (script scene replay line 67, if that's helpful. Light path), making it impossible to recruit her. the game just crashes.

    i also get the same problem with Finoa's brothel story. same pop up. which means i can't take her off whoring now

    1. Here is fine. I can't replicate those issues no have I gotten any similar reports. Usually that's a sign of a corrupted download. Delete, download and reinstall please.

  5. How do I recruit Rhea?

    Replies
    1. You need to be a light path hero and you can begin the quest to get her in Lesser Corsix, talk to the guy in front of the slave pen (lower left of the city).

  6. Just learned that Samantha's bio pic during battle has her eyes blocked out by her own name, which I found just slightly irritating.

  7. Is Fiona enslavable yet?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, but you have to spend a lot of gold at her shop.

      Delete
    2. Ok thank you. Is a lot like 100K or what? She doesn't have all that many items...

      Delete
    3. If you use the item that allows you to see your quests (quest log I think) it will tell you how much more you need to spend. I don't think it's as high as 100k though.

      Delete
    4. I want to say it's 75k, but yes it's a lot. She's a 'difficult' slave to get but she'll be cheaper later one.

      Her shop gains more items the more you do her quests. In particular the Bloodvine Amulets she creates at the end are by far the best accessories in the game and a great gold sink!

      Delete
  8. A few things. One, when buying armor, it still shows Rhea as able to wield a shield even though she doesn't.

    Also, would it be possible to enslave the demon and angel girls later due to his power growing as he gains more girls? Would really like that.

    Next, I'm semi-disappointed with the Unique for Kathleen. No unique weapon, and it felt more like just completing her story with the enslaving of her alternate persona.

    Speaking of, now that her other persona is subdued, I think it'd be interestin' to have interaction with it, taming it. Maybe even naming it. Maybe Keliza, since it's a fusion of Kathleen and Elizar.

    Also, interesting how there's girls with unnatural hair colors like blue. Could there be others like green, purple, orange, etc.?

    Oh, and a thought... the Namuhists seem to be tapping into magics that aren't normal. Maybe one of the harem could be an old lady that's been regressed to her prime or something via namuhist magic or something.

    Also, love how there's so many different personalities and skills among the girls.

    Here's a thought... since there's already the maid stereotype, but altered to be more fleshed out personality wise... maybe there could be a bimbo stereotype, but in a new way. Bimbos are often known to be dumb, horny, ditzy, and happy. But, aspects beyond being pervs are rarely explored for them. Example, they could be fun loving beyond just sex, like enjoying games and playing with others. Also, being dumb 'logically' wouldn't prevent other types of intelligence. Like, say, emotional wisdom, like helping others when they're feeling down, even if she doesn't know big words for how to express said feelings. And, she could like other things as well, like athletics, or art, or caring for kids, etc. You just seem able to take stereotypes and really flesh them out well, so I think it'd be interesting were you to include a bimbo stereotype in this. Though, that's just a personal wish towards this, not a necessity.


    Either way, so far, loving what you DO have here so far, and eager to see more of this amazing work you're doing.^_^

    1. Not 100% sure why the Rhea armor issues are coming up. But it's a minor but so it's likely to get shelved for now.

      While their arcs aren't done, you're definitely having more interactions with the angel and demon coming up!

      When I created Kathleen I intentionally put her abilities well over the power curve to balance her downside risk (possession). When I was doing her unique I didn't want to push her any higher over the curve so I lessened her downside instead. Interesting Keliza idea, I might revisit it later.

      I'll probably be adding more things like that. I tend to think very 'natural' as I'm creating models but there's really no reason for me to do so!

      Hmm. Sarah's a bit of a bimbo in my mind but a bit smarter than most. I might play more with the concept, but most slaves I want to have a bit more challenge in capturing and that means a bit of intelligence on their part!

      Thanks for the feedback!

    2. No prob.^^ And a few more ideas thought up.

      What if after getting her Elizar side suppressed, Kathleen gets an idea to get her other side more tame now that they know she'll obey Ralph. So, her and Donna experiment a bit but only finish after talking to Ralph in an attempt to make a human like ice body construct for her mind to inhabit, and this could lead to a side story arc of getting Kathleen an identical twin ally, perhaps even granting Kathleen a buff spell that allows her to create a temporary mimicking clone upon a single ally.

      As for making a bimbo a challenge... what if she wasn't always a bimbo? What if the bimbo mind was due to a spell backfiring or something due to hindering done with Ralph's group. The Namuhists already have extreme spell usage, after all. Perhaps good Ralph could help the bimbo accept her new self and find ways to still 'be herself' despite the unbreakable bimbo effects also applied to her.

      And you're welcome for the feedback.^^

    3. Oh, and I really don't consider Sarah like a bimbo from what I've seen.

    4. Interesting. I'll have to mull it over for a bit.

  10. Text errors :
    In the dialogue with Noemie (down in her cellar : "And if I take you with you".. should be 'me' it is not ?

    Seen quite some others trough the game, did not note then (sic), still, Ill see to keep track if/when seen more.

    Also, on that same dialogue, "I won't" two time in a row ?
    "Can't" would be better as to the second (given her sister + community, she had no choice but to go down "quietly").

  11. First dialogue with her sister in the Chelli village :
    "If he catches her, torture." missing "her".

  14. Edrin is in Lesser Corsix, under the inn, with the inn also visible (speaking of the map).

  15. Getting from the old rebel base (Heater quest) back to her, error when entering the town :
    "Script_Character" line 190: No MethodError Occured
    Undefined method 'x=' for nil:NilClass.

    Which led to the game crashing. That and a bitmap error yesterday while on browsing around the location for one of lesser corcix quest, Ill post when Ill get to it again (sic, that one to crashed my game, almost 4 hours lost).

    1. Typically that is an issue with the download. Not really sure the exact cause but trying redownloading the game usually takes care of it.

  16. As to Fiona, an option to send her back to her shop (as to get back on the quest) or have access to the quest from the castle would be great.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You should have full access to all of her quests after you've captured her, no matter where you keep her. As to making to so you can move her back and forth from the base, it has to do with the amount of code it would require to allow for it. Ultimately it's too much and I decided to make that decision permanent, although after chapter 5 it will become moot as you move into Rata.

      And thanks for all you corrections, I'll try to get those in for chapter 5!

  18. Fiona = noted, what is strange is that she still had a quest indicated in town, but when in the castle, only the ones dedicated to new items showed up. So, she made so far

    That said, not sure at all why but the game crashed directly two time, yesterday early night time, then today, about 3 hours ago. Guess I was not in the same spot, still, I'll see to track (along with save at start of each quest !, damn, this as not changed since day one of computer RPG time :p) Guess the "quick save" is quite a nice feature, when possible).

    --
    Under the castle, the quest to visit the place, the throne room is inacessible, not does it seem to be any access to the left part of the place (guess there should be an access given there is at last one coffer there).

    -
    Which said, they are several place where the party is taken back while there is still things to visit/loot (or at last, like in the mage place (big island reached by boat), where the party is sent while there was at last two more location on the map to be visited and no longer access after that ?!
    This making that quest un completable.

    Not sure how to handle it but at last, why not let the Player decide and use the stone when ready ?

    Not sure, but could that menu have a drop down view, as to allow more location (fishing village for example, but even more, as to further location later in the game..). Not sure if the engine allow for that this said.

    1. So you can't be forced out when there's relevant content left to acquire. If you're talking about bleak bay the other two locations are just empty. The actual quest location is always the second one you visit, regardless of the order you enter them in.

      And the quest has been tested quite a few times. If you return to Phoebe she should acknowledge the quest as being completed. Pretty sure she would have had to as you had mentioned a later quest in her sequence later on.

      Delete
  19. As to the heater quest mentioned earlier crash, it did not happen on that play trough, so not sure why/how it happend, ill get on the other crash repored area later on (still, I guess Ill stop playing now as to know what / how to handle the room underneet Castra Corson).

    1. The path through the bunker is overly complicated. I'll include a map w/ path in it for the ch5 release in walkthrough.

    2. Found the way, it is more a question of light/color than anything I guess, I was looking for something other, my (very) bad..

  20. Another quest ended before access to a chest, this one was about the thu'lum in the closed mine (out of town, after the mine there is ok).

    Given it is a golden chest.. Grr ? :x (Quite a bad design it is, given Roleplayer will have to chest any opening as to not miss anything (quite a requirement).

    Also, read somewhere about farming equipment, how would that go in this engine ? Found some unique (so far) item trough quests, still, not that powerful.

    Also, Terra is bugged, not sure when it started but her events are coming back, the one about her torturer, then the one starting in the Officer Chamber, after what, there is directly the line given when no event is available.

    Replies
    1. So some treasure's are intended as rewards for explorers. I'll try to include some 4th wall stuff saying 'are you done exploring' before events that remove you from the location first from now on.

      So it's possible for Terra to cycle her scenes once if you acted against overall ethos when in her mind. It should only occur once and not at all on a clean playthrough.

      Delete
  21. Another error :
    After the first cheli test, she bring us to the Elders :
    "The nod as you enter" should be "they" (I guess, if this is a reaction of the Elders).

    That said, it is alright if she refer to the Girls as Slave after the combat ? Something more neutral should be used since she has now some respect for them..

    1. Naitay doesn't respect any of your harem until after you've fucked her. She's trying to find ways to discredit them no matter what.

  22. In case, about the strange character, seen her in the castle, but since then, nowhere to be found, any insight ?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ok, so, later on then, which explain it.

    :)

    Also, something minor who still would had in quite some flavour = more interactive (basic). Like the obvious pannel & map, at last tell (when actived with enter) that the one in the bunker is about shedule (example), or a dungeon is either (depend if another quest is done for instance) as to recognize an sigil/map design).

    On that note, are they more than the one necklace in the gameworld so far ? Quite possible I've missed others, given there is no return to most of the zone.

    That said, quite good that the western + ingredient zone are re accessible.

    Also, the inventory category for the ingredient do not seem to be used, is there a reason to that ?

    Quite good content, the game was good on his first version, that second is getting more and more better.
