So many negative comments (even before the new release was published; how?) Just for another sound, my opinion after playing 0.22: I like it. Everyone here already knows how the story will go, so a new scenery and settings makes it still a refreshing new experience. Only thing I do miss slightly, is that very recognizable opening tune from the old game ...
From what everyone is saying I don't know if I want to download it the original was a masterpiece why couldn't you just finish it then make the remake...at least you'd have an ending now we got to wait another ten years to see if it finishes the story this time...if not longer...
The reason he couldn’t finish the remake was because the old code from act 1 was causing way too many bugs to appear any time he tried to add new content.
And he also said the new version should be back to where the old version left off in a few months. It may be longer since I doubt you can know these things for sure, but yeah it’s not gonna be 10 years or anything.
He said all of this in the post for v.0.2.1 on this site.
Yeaaaa... no. Im not
updatingdowngrading this.Also steph should be banned from commenting. A quick scroll down shows they are doing more harm then good. A lot of negative ratios.
Did anyone ask for your opinion?
Shut up troll.
It's honestly impressive how you've managed to make a complete downgrade in terms of design. like holy fuck the old cartoon designs weren't amazing but god the new designs are ugly by comparison. like jessica went from hot anime mom to some generic asian lady. whoever told you or convinced you to do this semi hyperdetailed design needs their skull caved in, god you need to go back to the old style. really glad i have the old version.
This is not remake, this is awful game with only the name of the original and without any NSFW content. Stay away
I mean, the "original" also did not have NSFW in the prologue. and guess what ? for now there is ONLY the prologue, so how could you judge the whole remake with just that ? why is everybody hating with just a glimpse of what the new version can be without waiting for it to have more content ?
you're wrong, the man is remaking this game from the ground up so no shit there would not be any NSFW content yet.
This feels like the ending of jojo part 6,everything's feel the same yet so different
So it's been a long time since I saw this game so the remake is it still the same concept or is it completely different from the original
Same
From what Arcadean has said, the story will be about 85-90% the same, and the other 10-15% is just where the town is located, how exploring the town works, and a few changes to some characters (designs and/or personalities) and how the player meets them that Arcadean found he wasn't happy with when he had to rebuild the game in a new game engine. (Unity instead of Ren'Py)
Bro cooking with these new updates, 6 stars
I'm probably very dumb for this, but stuck in the very first scene in the train: "Like the sunlight on water, each moment there for a brief dazzling moment..." Been looking at that scene for something shining, but I see nothing and don't have a clue how to proceed. Anyone have a (subtle, not too obvious) hint?
Touch the poster
Ah; that's fast! Thank you. But sadly, the poster was the first I touched, got two choices to reply. After that, that window popped up. Now I seem to be stucked in a loop wit the text already mentioned, and "there is a metaphor in there somewhere..." over and over again. The posters does not react anymore.
Could you send a screenshot
It's just that train, and the window when you click on that:
Ah; never mind! There just appeared an update that fixed this problem. But thanks for replying.
Glad the game is finally back, but the new designs and story aren't an improvement in my eyes. I feel like it changed far too much about the basics of the original story, all the mystery and suspense has vanished. It's still a good game by all margins, but I feel like an overhaul of the original story and little additions to the character design would've been a better move. Still a good game, but a little bit of a downgrade.
The act 1 and 2 story isn't changing only act 2 events will as arc is going to add a shit ton of them for all characters and in act 1 we will meet Chloe and Gwen earlier
You know, all thing considered and by the looks of it, I think the game can be as good as the old version was, considering that a lot of Devs decided to just stop developing their games after all that's happened in the +18 gaming community I'm happy to know you'll keep going.
As little content as we get right now I like what you're doing, the only thing that bugs me right now is the change on the character's designs, not that I dislike the new looks but I really liked the old ones and looking at them now feels a little weird but I know I'll get used to it eventually, so as long as all or at least most of the old characters are still part of your game ideas I'm okay with whatever you do.
This was one of the first games I saw when I started using itch and it would make me extremely sad if you stopped developing it, I know a lot of people are complaining about what you did with the rework but please keep going, I really really want to see what this game can become.
I have to agree with others, the new story and character designs aren’t as good as the old ones. In og the magical world was a secret, no one knew about it outside of powerful people. But in the redo fae and Numens are just general knowledge and accepted? The mystery and hidden world was one of the draws of the game just gone now.
The character redesigns are the biggest drawback, Pixie no longer looks cute and is dressed like a goth for some reason, the Aunt is no longer a milf and dresses like an office worker, Emma’s now blue when she was great before, Morgana got hit the worst in the redesign, She’s ugly af. One of the standout things is the noses of the characters, they look so weird! Like really off-putting! I hope this is just early concepts of them or something but if this how everything is gonna look from now on I dunno if I can stick with this.
Tbh Morgana is always ugly 😭 she looks better than before and yes this is Early concepts and might be changing as people can vote for reworks
where can i download original version instead of the rework ?
F95
This prob one of my fav itch.io games, but idk, this last updated reworked the game in a way It doesnt even seems the same, but i still like the game
Y'know there are some games that never get an update. I understand some changes might seem off at first but frankly I'm glad the game's creator takes the time to continue improving and adding to the game. The amounts of games I've wished to continue only to see it will probably never get an update just keeps growing :')
I don't mind the rehaul, but the noses just aren't it for me. They are very out of place
also the buttons are really small on mobile
I know he just returned, but when do you think a Spanish translation will be possible?
Now it's possible since the code is super good
Translations are all fan-made, and I am making a special effort to make translators’ lives as easy as possible with this rework. I am in talks with the translators and just spent two days polishing translation stuff, so hopefully you’ll see a lot of fan translations coming out, including Spanish! :)
Saw the comments on Itch about the new version, and it’s a bit wild how impatient some people can be with an evolving indie game 🤦
Personally, I like the changes. they bring a fresh identity, even if some things feel a bit weird at first (just a matter of habit).
Good luck with the rest of the development, looking forward to the next updates!
Yeah plus every girl is now a main girl and more kids and more events
I really don’t know what happened here, but this rework just plays bad. It doesn’t feel like the same game at all anymore, and honestly… wtf? I’m not even trying to be overly harsh, but this is genuinely disappointing. I really hope someone eventually picks up the old version and continues it as a fan project, because what we have now just isn’t it.
I can barely recognize the game anymore. The atmosphere, the tone, the overall feel it’s like everything that gave it charm has been stripped away. Before, there was a certain identity to it that made it stand out, but now it just feels generic and disconnected. It’s not just bad. it’s different in a way that completely misses what made the original enjoyable.
The characters are a big part of the problem. In version 0.2.1, they don’t feel like the same people at all. Their personalities seem off, their interactions feel forced or inconsistent, and it’s like they’ve been rewritten into something unrecognizable. Instead of building on what was already there, it feels like the story has been reset into something entirely different and not in a good way. I’ve seen others point this out too, so it’s definitely not just me.
Graphically, it honestly feels like a downgrade, which is surprising for a rework. I still have the older version backed up, and putting them side by side just makes the issues even more obvious. The new visuals lack the same polish and style that the original had ( looking straight up ugly). Things feel off less expressive, less immersive, and in some cases just plain worse(like the average phone Gatcha). Even the way the game starts now feels awkward compared to before, like it lost that strong first impression.
Another thing that really bothers me is how the fey are handled now. Making them more common completely kills the sense of mystery they used to have. Before, they felt rare, special, and intriguing something you wanted to learn more about. Now they just feel like another standard race living alongside everyone else, which makes the world feel a lot less unique and magical. It’s a big shift that takes away more than it adds.
Overall, this rework feels like it lost sight of what made the game engaging in the first place. Instead of improving or refining the original experience, it replaces it with something that feels weaker in almost every aspect story, characters, visuals, and world building.
Really disappointed to see it going in this direction.
Trying to become something its not and was never meant to be just really disappointing.
Nothing to say anymore, I do not support the direction its going at at all.
Emma was changed because arc put out a poll same with Jessica this is just a rework the story is remaining the same unless you want to go back to the old version where the code is a mess and super sloppy.
Change is normal to not like but this was needed so Arc can have more freedom to do whatever he wants plus he's adding more events to everything all girls are hopefully getting kids and if arc forgets any he gave us permission to hit him with tennis balls!
Rework and a new save file lezz go, time to play this again
I will be missing the old character style a bit. It's like when an anime switches animation studios, lol. Honestly the new character style is great, but the noses are kinda throwing me off. Is it just me?
Yeah the noses are weird but at least people can recommend content more as every girl is getting more content 😀 even ones from CK v1
I haven't played this game in a very long time. even way before Arcadean decided to rework the game do to allot things happening, including my pc breaking. I'm seeing quite a few negatives in the comments, but I'm hopeful. I talked a bit with Arcadean back in the day about how well he did with the game and how much I loved the story all those years ago. I'm putting my faith in him and coming back now that the remake is now out. I was holding out after I got my pc back and heard about the remake so this is my once again. first time playing the game and excited to see the changes and how the story is now.
V0.2 is super early it stops after getting pixie v0.3 will hopefully extend it a lot
I miss the original but I have faith they will be able to make this version good as well, just got to let them cook.
It is still the original it is just a rework shouldn't be that long till we hit act 3 again as it's a big chunk
So fae aren't called fae but numines? Weird change
I want to say welcome back and thank you for returning. I supported this game on Itch monetarily and it is a true pleasure to see you come back here. Be safe, I hope you are doing well, and thank you again!
ah I just came back to this game.....what happened so much has changed the game is nigh unrecognizable the whiplash of seeing "Fish" as the second character in the game when fae were supposed to be hidden was yeah ok, the setting is completely different I'm just really conflicted these changes don't seem necessary
was gonna ask the same thing what happened this is not the game i played before so messed up now
Mostly so arc doesn't have to touch the nexus in this version of stuff as that was mostly old code and the same outcome happens even if the nexus isn't there they come to our world so easy fix they were always here
doesnt matter the whole game is screwed up even the graphics seem worse and its so short compared to where it was before the dev should have taken a poll for the change they could have dont this as a remake on the side instead of loosing all the game play to this point the old version was way better in my opinion
Unfortunately this remake was needed as the old code was putting a handicap on content because whenever arc wanted to add something new he has to do it carefully or else the code would crumble
then end it and start a new game new chapter there was many way the old way could have been added onto but doesnt matter i unfollowed will never play it again
Im sorry, i just hate the look of the reworked characters. They're unrecognizable
I see what you mean, but it's good Idea that we give them then construction criticism rather than just outright hating them, besides it's almost a year since they have to updated this game also, something might have happened to the developer during that time so we have no clue.
Besides, It's probably a new team with maybe a old programmer or director there to support them on developing the somewhat abandoned project, that's what I'm guessing.
Your guess is in fact wrong. It’s still the solo dev, TheArcadean, working on this project. You can always join the discord to be more updated with the game’s progress. Dev is also active in the discord server occasionally and around release times.
Sup inspired it's me Steph lol I'll be working on getting back on discord in a year when discord removes my data so I'm allowed to not get banned for ban evasion 😆
🤦
totally agree this new look destroyed the whole game and to start completely over ruined it
Just got through a decent chunk of the current version here on itch.io.
PC and Android work well.
No game breaking stuff yet and it seems easy enough to traverse areas.
The game is playable and interesting, but as a returning player from the original, this game is definitely not the same.
From the game mechanics to the world itself they are different. The artstyle change really is distracting and not in good way. The old game was easier on the eyes and simpler to me in several ways that made it easier to play.
Unlike in the original where you are presented choices to traverse the world, this game gives a different kind of map where you spend points for food to travel. The world is very different as people are more aware of the supernatural, unlike the original where no one had any real clue, that and the original had more secrets to uncover because the world was so in the dark which definitely made it feel like you were really going into the unknown.
The one plot line stemming from your character returning to get revenge or seek justice, or the new option seeking the truth, is really the only thing that seems the same so far.
Most of everything else is different, which makes this more like a FINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE though not as playable. Emma works at a resort you are staying at as a cleaner which is not how we originally met, Jessica is trying to distance herself from the Institute before we are even involved, the Institute is now in open view of the public as diplomats for humanity, so much is different now that any experiences you like about the old game are mostly gone. This version honestly feels like a warped reality based on things from the original.
I honestly understand that when code gets messy you need to start over to make it work, but the whole game feels and looks different to the point that the two are not the same. I can't even look at some of these characters because of the change in their looks, their faces especially. The noses, god, the noses, your character waking up to see directly in front of you a wierd looking nose staring you in the face, not as funny as you think.
I still have the old game with saves for every plot point and hidden encounters. Way to much feels different and instead of it feeling like this new version is adding on, it just seems to shove aside everything to replace it entirely with things that I don't recognize.
This version currently, CKv0.2.1, is not the Corrupted Kingdoms I enjoyed so much and waited to see get a continuation. Way to much has changed for it to be the same at all.
I agree with a lot of what was said here, while I don't mind implementing different and forms of gameplay with like the exploration part, I don't like the changes made to the story structure (how the MC gets to the resort), the world (how people are already aware of the fey and the organization), the change to the character introductions (specially with Emma, I loved her original story) and some of the character redesigns (Emma specially and while I don't mind Pixie's as much, she definitely needs to appear smaller, she's way too big for how she was previously).
I can understand that the game might have needed to be redone because of the code, I'm also a programmer, but the overall story and the world-building was really good from the start so I don't understand the need to change it. I can see you redoing some scenes from the original to make the overall story feel more connected and fixing some pacing issues there might have been but to change so much from the beginning section where there really weren't any issues is kinda unnecessary. You already have a strong hook with the Morgana and the Eldritch .
I hope you are able to take all of this criticism in a way to help you improve on what was an amazing game and realign it for us who have followed and supported the game. I really like what you built before and hope you can follow through with this remake to make it better.
My biggest problem with it is the characters faces and like you said Pixies size. The drastic change in setting for the world is also seriously going to effect the story. Like how people act and how the character would make an impact later. If certain mechanics or the powers are gone or not the same, then this really isn't the same story, since they were so relevant to the original plot. Since some relationships don't happen without the control or break powers. Later on they had relevant use outside relationships such as interrogation and dealing with enemies.
Based on this version CK v0.2.1, the world and therefore the story is way too different from the original. We originally arrived by train at the city station inside the city with the concept of Fey or other creatures being fantasy and not real, and met up with Jessica then got a room or apartment and meet Emma that way as our neighbor. Not something grand like a resort where Jess is the owner and Emma is cleaner. Way too much has changed right from the get go.
The powers will be added back they are just temporary gone as arc was leading towards the automatic powers with hidden voices plus they were definitely super buggy
Alright, thats good to know. I remember the hidden voices thing, sometimes you could turn it on and other times it was just there, I think. Hidden Voices was a Power that just sort of blended together for me when playing.
Love the old version of the game, the rework is already looking good
0.2.0 update just released on SubscribeStar. It's honestly pretty good. I know a lot of people here got a bad first impression from the last update since most of the new content was unrecognizable from the old version. But this most recent release feels MUCH more like the OG game. The characters are in line with their original personalities, the Morgana scene plays out almost exactly like before, and there aren't any other drastic redesigns like with Emma in the first version.
This, and the fact that Arc is open to feedback and making efforts to implement said feedback, gives me a lot more confidence in the future that this will be more of a remaster instead of a "completely unrecognizable remake". Hopefully it will for other people too.
so a new 0.2.0 build of the remake is up on substar and it is while certainly still different to the older build it is much closer and feels pretty faithful to the prior iteration of the game while including the newer mechanics and 0.2.0 ends off at leaving morgana's region and returning home
the whole island city feeling setting still seems a bit odd but the rest is very good i feel...
I loved the older versions art of this game I haven't seen an update for this in way to long I think it's just dead and over.....such a disappointment another great game gone to ruin....I wished they finished this game instead of remaking it and screwing a good thing up...I'm done with this dev...it.pisses me off so much I followed this game from the beginning and supported this dev to reach the end of the game just to be let down they won't finish it and now decide to remake the game entirely...another abandoned masterpiece....fuck this dev...
Well look again dipshit you think projects like this are fast also he forgot to tell itch as it's not his priority if you dislike that don't interact here
To be honest, I really loved this game back in the day. But now everything is just so disappointing. The characters in the remaster are barely recognizable. After all this time and all this waiting, that's what players got in return. Forget it, it's over now.
Can the remastered version really still be called CK? I'm skeptical.
new 0.2.0 build i feel mostly fixes this but each to their own i guess
I GOT SO EXCITED! But why cant we have anything with him? he is so cute! I think we should be able to fuck every genre.... but still very good game even though I would like to have something with Ard
Question, are they going to give us the ability to change a characters gender or are they keep the characters gender the same?
Btw I'm highly aware that he probably did either a glitch with a character or a rare chance on a character.
pretty sure there is a low chance of waking up to ard if you go to sleep with hana... due to their nature as characters and the whole kind of sharing a body thing
i feel bad for everyone the got scammed on this setting well not the discord simps
1that demo has also received feedback that is presumable being taken into account... there was notable resistance to the fact that jessica's chest had been reduced and emma's chest had been significantly increased
based on the votes these are likely going to be redone to be more inline with the older version of the game
Still a demake since mind control is getting removed
then nobody is going to play because that's a major part of the story
as much as they were mind control the way 0.2.0 is says that they are more or less staying the same
i do vaugely recall mention of how as a player you interact with them being changed mostly to make it less clunky and not having to open a powers screen to use them but honestly that might have been from somewhere in 0.20.0-0.22.3 and wanting to change that sort of thing might be a chunk of why the entire rebuild was started
Yeah the m manual element needs changed lol
it was never really mind control for the most part
mostly is was gentle suggestion and nothing more or making someone stop a thing at least briefly
and the way 0.2.0 ends is at about the same point and in the SAME direction as the starting to test those powers
I bought the Subscribestar once so I could play the last update earlier. Honestly I am kinda mad, but hope that the remake will be good
Yea
THIS GAME IS DEAD. SUBSCRIBESTAR IS ALSO FOR AN ENTIRELY NEW AND FROM STRATCH GAME.
Yes, the game is being remade. Arc said this was due to issues in the code that caused an overwhelming amount of bugs to show up with each update. But I don’t think it makes sense to conclude that this remake is going to be completely unrecognizable from the old version just based off of the content from the demo. While the game does take place on an island now, and Jessica and Emma’s roles have been tweaked, we know nothing about any of the other characters, locations, or story beats yet.
If the content update drops and it turns out that the other characters and locations are also changed, then yeah I think people would have a right to be upset. But I can’t really imagine that being the case because one, Arc has been open to feedback and said everything from the previous version would be in the new one. And two, if you’re remaking a free game that’s only funded by donations, I can’t imagine what the benefit would be to not use the existing characters/text/story/assets you spent years making and that you already know people liked.
I’m optimistic and expecting there won’t be too much else that we’ll have to get used to. But we’ll see what ends up happening when the content update drops.
that demo has also received feedback that is presumable being taken into account... there was notable resistance to the fact that jessica's chest had been reduced and emma's chest had been significantly increased
based on the votes these are likely going to be redone to be more inline with the older version of the game
Hopefully
From what i am seeing, this game is in a similar situation to Evermore.
The dev decided to remake the entire game into something else and looses 80% of the original audience.
Is that correct?
maybe... will have to see how it played out after the feedback from the demo
Not really it's not entirely the devs fault the act 1 part of the games code was super not well made
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
Nope I'm telling you the truth because the act 1 code of crk the original was super flimsy and could break if the dev added anything new
And what does that have to do with my original comment?
act 1 code being a mess is the main reason the game is being remade
how it turns out... well we will have to wait and see
sure i would have been more comfortable and certain if it was more or less only backend stuff and playing through would be more or less the same as the older build with only minor changes at most
but i will give it some time and see how things go
will the game still be updated on here
?
Probably he's been busy best to ask someone on discord
