You realize that this new version is so poorly received that the modders delete it or don't allow any criticism to be posted, Or else the attacking puppy comes to defend.
Hum... I still don't know what to think about the new lore, sure it has potential and can lead to the same route the classic went, but it might also be too much work for a rework and end up with more problems with plotholes and such (which already exist).
About the new designs, a few are better (Morgana is cuter... I didn't think that was possible at all), a few aren't (didn't like the new Pixie, too much of an "It's not a phase, mom!" kind of look), but above all, I hated the noses. And above that! There's a distinct, terrible, unforgivable LOWER AVERAGE TITTY SIZE.
There's new stuff to get used to and obstacles that the dev will need to overcome on the way. I don't know how this will go; it's too early to say. Whether the new lore will be maintained or not, the noses will stay, the boobs will grow or not. I trust the dev, after all, they made the incredible game that was the classic one to the point of needing a rework now. Isn't it incredible how they grow so fast?
Edit: Oh, forgot one thing. I'm very glad to see that the sense of humor is the same. I laughed a lot in this prologue from such small things at times; it was delightful.
Wow... the change is really something, the intro is way different than i remember it :o
Woahhhh Emma and Jessica is different now! (Emma's such a sweetheart 🥹, and I love Jessica's new design :o, a shame that she was "reduced" though... and less motherly feeling 🥺)
AND VIOLA IS ALREADY HERE!?!?
AND MY BEGINNING CHOICE MAKES A SELECTION??? (I cant hand over the other ID with truth...)
The front page needs an update now, I wont lie I'll miss these designs, but THE NEW ONES ARE JUST AS GOOD! and the intro is SO DIFFERENT!!!
PIXIE!!!! I LOVE HER DESIGNNN, she's a lot more rude than i remember though...
And looks like we'll be starting from the beginning again.. a shame, but it can't be helped
Of course when this finally updates its to inform us that is starting over again, gives me vibes of Succulence, which also pulled this shtick, whelp time to wait for everything to get back to where it left off before like I have since it finally moved to Act 3
I just finished playing the little content is available in version 0.2.2 and I wanted to give my opinion as a fan. I admit the graphics are incredible, the movements, the fluidity, and above all, I liked some interesting changes and additions like the initial choice of wanting revenge, justice, or truth, and the notes that explain things about the world like the Numen, the Institute (which I assume is the organization), etc... Regarding the characters designs, well... I like some of them. I love all the redesigns of the Council, however, Pixie and Enma seem almost an abomination to me; poor Pixie, she looked so beautiful... The new mechanics are so-so; some, like object exploration or object interaction, are good, but others seem either too saturated or unnecessary. And finally, the arrival in Kappa City and the map seem very random and cheap, almost like something from a typical Play Store ad. I, at least, would still use the original map. The new character of the store and Jessica's redesign are just meh. What I didn't like much was the resort; I don't know, it doesn't convince me and it doesn't make much sense within the plot. I preferred the rented house or apartment. In short, from my perspective, if I give the previous CK an 8.5 or 9 (well-deserved) based on what I've seen, and if it continues at this pace and with the same interfaces, I'd give this version between a 5 and a 6.5 at most, if it really manages to surprise me. In short, it has improved in several aspects of quality, but some of those changes significantly detract from its overall score
I'm probably going to uninstall this and maybe check after a year. I was really excited about the update and now I cannot even play the game I used to love.
HE IS GOING TO ADD MORE FOR ALL GIRLS That ISN'T A DOWNGRADE PLUS EVERYTHING IS THE SAME if you dislike it leave this game change is apart of life you can't stop change
I'll be honest, I personally believe it would've been best to leave the original 0.22 version here abandoned (or atleast postponed indefinitely) and create a entirely new project that acts as the remake/rebrand of this game, that way fans of the original version still have access to it (as well as hope to return to the original story and models), whilst anyone who's a fan of the newer story and models can go enjoy that instead, considering removing the download for 0.22 legacy is kinda just annoying.
TLTR: Developer owns the damn game, not us freebies. Let the dev cook.
Many are getting too comfortable with the game, as if it can just breathe and update on its own, rather than trusting the developer who literally explained why they had to do what they did.
Personally, it is a shame that the charm and appearance of the original is gone, that much I agree. However, an update to appearances is also a nice chance for the developer to keep improving their skills.
On the other hand, I never delve far into the storyline, because it always felt off to me, or the UI visuals weren't there the whole way. Others may argue me on this, but that's just my take.
So, I don't mind redoing the storyline, because you want to make it worth it (I mean, christ ya'll, I know you play the other h-games on itchio, and you know some had to force us to replay from the start. So stop picking on this developer for their "crime".).
Now, with that said, having interactable bubbles is odd, but I'm sure that's just a placeholder type of deal (I mean, again, this isn't a full-fledged game. Things are bound to look awkward). But, at least that keeps us focused on key areas, rather than moving our mouses everywhere as if there's a secret under every pixel.
I saved early in the prologue, and when I came back the background image is on a blackout spasm spree. Seems like the rendering is allergic to being loaded in from a save file. I'm no game wiz, but hopefully that gets patched up soon.
Other than that, I hope this means we'll get better animations and more from the dev in avoiding spaghetti code (Yes, I read the 0.2.1 log. Yes, it's "long" but good god ya'll, stop using the internet and go steal a baby's tablet if you don't wanna read text.).
Keep pushing forward, developer! Listen to proper feedback, not complaints. Haters always try to look like they're "helping" but don't offer actual feedback, and love to whine.
what happened to the original game tho? I haven't followed the game for like 1-2 years and you know when I tried to replay it there is just a whole new build
Like I mentioned in my post, in the dev log, the developer saw the game needed a remake from the ground-up. They couldn't handle fixing the old game code, and decided it's best to update it from scratch. New codework, new performance, new everything, but the story is still there, just directed differently.
You really should've waited the couple months, because evidently no one reads update logs. The only change from the story I can see so far is the renaming of fey to numen for some reason, the organization having a name, the town itself seeming to be controlled by or is the body of an entity, and the numen being public. If the town becomes a new plot point, it'll be an interesting reason to revisit the story I'm curious to how it'll impact the war arc if at all. Making the numen public gets rid of the 'what if' scenario of Robin revealing the fey to the public before the organization does in the war arc. I'm only stating this because I'm confused as to why some think the story is worse when it's exactly the same with additions or negligible differences.
Other than that I personally love the new dialogue boxes, I just wish there was a more obvious differentiation between thinking and talking than just a tint, such as an opaque overlay/bubbling animation on the screen edges, or exclusively putting the text in thought bubbles. Also despite having settings, there doesn't seem to be a way to skip on mobile, there's very little content currently so I figure you didn't bother but I feel it's worth mentioning regardless. The interactive menu is great, though a little hard to access the menu screen on mobile, however I understand if mobile is not a priority and hope it's not with all the content you gotta make up for. In my opinion the new noses are uncanny and I preferred the rounder eyes, other than that the new designs are objectively better than the much simpler previous ones. It'd be nice to have an option to revert the eye, nose, and lip shapes, however the story is so great that I know I personally would be able to deal with it. There's so little content currently that I had no time to get used to them so I might change my mind in the future. Anyways that's my attempt at a review I hope it helps, even if a little
Hola, ich liebe dieses Spiel wirklich, würde aber gerne wissen, ob es Übersetzungen auf Deutsch oder Spanisch gibt, da ich ehrlich gesagt schrecklich auf Englisch bin. Cuando jemand etwas weiß, sagt es mir bitte
Hallo, ich glaube, der Dev hat keinen Fall, zu übersetzen. Wenn Sie Fragen haben, kann ich helfen, aber ich glaube, Google Translate ist für das Problem hilfreicher. Weil mein Deutsch schlecht ist. tut mir leid.
On the one hand im disappointed all the progress has to be rewritten and i dont like the thoughts animation that plays. The game feels slower now. Idk how i feel about "numen" as part of the mystery was uncovering this new unknown world. On the other hand if they made the last game as good as it was then i look forward to seeing what they do with this one. I have faith in your storytelling abilities.
ok maybe its just ive not been paying attention to this or anything having to do with it for a while but wtf happened to the original story? it was kinda the reason i liked this at all over w.m's stuff, now it feels alot more run of the mill i guess? like dont get me wrong its still great its just something feels off lol
This was one of the first itch.io games I played and rated. I kept up with it until the war arc. Then I decided to wait for that to be over so I could get back to the story. I didn't dislike the war arc though, it was just a huge project that was going to take way too long. So last version I played was a year or two ago. Now I expected to come back to a game that was further along, but instead there's... this. I'm not far enough into the remake to say if I like it or not, but I can say I'm certainly not happy about it.
Just finished the rework: positives: Love the new interactive menu, very nice very fun ui. The pebbles joke and Emma redesign are very nice from what I've seen. And the fish girl cut scene was a fun start. Foreshadowing Viola was also nice. The redesigns are a bit jarring, but they aren't that bad, I just don't think a lot of people are used to them. I honestly prefer the new pixie design, but you could give her the old clothes that'd be perf imo
However, I'm confused at why magic creatures, the 'numen' are just common knowledge now. I get this could make more sense for a war plotline in the original, but it loses a bit of its 'the fairies are a secret' charm. Also you probably should've waited until you got a bit more done with the rework before dropping this on us, but I get you wanting to keep us a bit updated. Good luck on your future efforts, and I hope the rework goes smoothly
Not going to lie Im kinda disappointed. I waited so long just to go back to the "wait for the next update" format. We gotta go through the entire story again and wait to do it? Idk I really like the work but I've been waiting a long time for this already and telling me I have to wait more just rubs me the wrong way. This was my favorite game but not anymore If I gotta wait and wait and wait. At least if we got as far in the story as we were. Idk this just feels like the worst possible option you could have chose from my perspective
Look I like the models the game feels more unique so far. I hope we keep most of the same characters and powers from the original game. I'm just upset we waited so long to wait again. Feels like unlocking a door to find another door
dont like the remake wouldve prefered a rushed ending instead
ok basically new update after i read some of the stuff in the discord
multyple old plotlines and settign i loved this game for are gone
becasue " they didnt made sense now"
i already didnt enjoy the act 3 becasue it threw away the urban fantasy setting for a battle royal which i hoped was a short thing till we finished the story yet this story ending never came .... maybe one day i might be able to play this game again for longer thern 10 minutes whithout feeling sad of what i lost and enjoy what was gained but this isnt the game i once loved
i hopew you as dev however are more satisfied with what you make right now
i will not judge you for dropping the original game happens all the time but i do be sad now
Maybe the real Corrupted Kingdoms were the memories of the game we made along the way?
I sincerely hope I can make more, hopefully fond, memories of this game in the future. Currently, this needs more time in the oven. And so I wait once more...
The current trend is a lot of up votes and down votes for certain people.
There are some comments saying change is necessary or normal, that isn't appropriate for a game being described as better but the same as the original. It was whole heartedly expected to be beat for beat the same world and story with more comprehensive code and that would allow for better development.
This rework/remake game is literally not the same game. The world's are completely different between the original and this replacement that honestly betrays fans who wholeheartedly loved the original and expected the words of the creator were literal and sincere. The game that has replaced the original has basically cut up the original and pasted things into place abandoning a lot of the original world, setting, and designs. The main story isn't even seen as the same because the world is not the same.
So the changes beyond the code is not good, because it quite honestly says the developer lied. You can add new content, you can improve or rewrite the code, but changes like this were never wanted by most people who took your words wholeheartedly at face value.
No mind control or corruption you the name of the game? Honestly absolutely trash idea. It's a watered down slop, poor designs, poor content. Idrc that it's the "prologue" years people supported this and it's disrespectful to start from scratch so you can milk money out of people. Insane how NSFW devs somehow manage to waste everyone's time. At this point just replace everything with AI it'd probably be an improvement and get content out faster.
Just a funny story, the 0.2.2 naming confused me with the 0.22 old version, I literally opened it and thought "huh, this is almost the exact same", until i realized after playing through it and not seeing any changes for 5 minutes that I was playing the wrong game.
I supported this game back on patreon up until it's first graphic change when all the character models were changed the first time. I still stuck around for the story. As I really liked it. But now I come back after a while to discover the new game. The "remake". I'll be honest I'm not really sure what to think(if I should consider it good or bad). the original version of corrupted kingdoms was what got me interested in mystery/supernatural themed games. The character models are worse(I swear every time the models change it's for the worse.). The sound that's made when they talk gives me a headache. I didn't mind it as I already knew I was going into a remake and fisherman gave me a laugh. Until The grid system. I've always hated grid systems and the fact that In all the encounters(at least the ones I had) all characters had boxes on their heads were a major turn off for me. I will play the game again later . I will update this later when I do.
Current review
Overall: 3 stars out of 5
Character design: 3 star
reason: the noses look way too out of place.
Story: 5 stars
Reason: I'm biased sue me.
(In all seriousness I didn't mind a lot of the changes to the story at least the ones I got to as I was expecting it as I already knew I was going into a remake. So I was more accepting of it I think is a good way to put it. Also from my experience with the previous version I know that arc is likely to explain choices or why/how certain things happened via the story/plot. For example how exactly everyone knows about the fey in the remake. I'm sure that's going to be explained once you get far enough.).
New features: 3 star
Reason: let's start with the positive first . I thought the speech bubbles were a nice addition and the fact that it was made so you could change it back to the classic style bus settings was a nice touch.
Now onto the negative. I hate grid systems with a passion and the boxes on all encounter characters heads just seems lazy to me and we're a major turn off. Also the little audio thing that happened whenever someone talks gives me a headache.
So all in all as a former supporter you do you arc.
Don't let the haters or life get you down. I'm sorry to hear what happened with patreon. And I hope things get better for you and corrupted kingdoms.
Ps: sorry if this came across as pessimistic or mean. Didn't mean for it to. I'm just not the best at explaining things.
It certainly has been a long while, but you know what, I like what you've done here so far. I'm in this for the long haul. Besides, the reworked begining's honestly very good.
Sure alot of people are upset, understandable. But do not fret. Change is an inevitable part of life, and this project is no exception.
You're onto something good here. Keep it up man, let's see where this goes.
You ever get that point where you wait for something to cook only to find the kitchen burned down and you have to wait some more only to then find out they changed the recipe midway? Ah, well. I guess there's plenty more distractions to find. Guess I'll come back to this.... at some point.
I came back to this game after a long break. Everything changed and I cannot see my old saves. It's there something to do about it? I don't want to start all over again...

That where the build ends
What?
That where the current version of the game ends
Ok

Beloved Jessica was reduced 😔
Wow... the change is really something, the intro is way different than i remember it :o

PIXIE!!!! I LOVE HER DESIGNNN, she's a lot more rude than i remember though...
And looks like we'll be starting from the beginning again.. a shame, but it can't be helped
Porque no puedo descargar la versión antigua? O es que la a borrado?🥲
Of course when this finally updates its to inform us that is starting over again, gives me vibes of Succulence, which also pulled this shtick, whelp time to wait for everything to get back to where it left off before like I have since it finally moved to Act 3

For everyone angry about the noses
I'm probably going to uninstall this and maybe check after a year. I was really excited about the update and now I cannot even play the game I used to love.
Go to f95 if you want the original ❤️ the dev made it so this version doesn't overlap the original
I'm glad I still have the last original version. I'm not interested at all in the 'remake' and you lost a supporter due to it.
Oh boohoo it's not a remake it's a revamp and yeah we do not care
we DO care mf, its a damn downgrade!
HE IS GOING TO ADD MORE FOR ALL GIRLS That ISN'T A DOWNGRADE PLUS EVERYTHING IS THE SAME if you dislike it leave this game change is apart of life you can't stop change
I'll be honest, I personally believe it would've been best to leave the original 0.22 version here abandoned (or atleast postponed indefinitely) and create a entirely new project that acts as the remake/rebrand of this game, that way fans of the original version still have access to it (as well as hope to return to the original story and models), whilst anyone who's a fan of the newer story and models can go enjoy that instead, considering removing the download for 0.22 legacy is kinda just annoying.
It's not his fault itch removes old download links automatically
are the photos on the right the original version or the remake? want to see how the new one look since original was outdated
Those photos are from original version
good game, love the variety
How do I sync my old and new game
I am very confused. is the download for the demo?
The download is for the remake. The dev is actively bait and switching by not updating the preview images above.
No this is for a rework f95 has the original version
TLTR: Developer owns the damn game, not us freebies. Let the dev cook.

Oh, I understood, already played the new build and I like everything except some face models but that pretty subjective
You might as well change the pictures. Since this can be considered a false advertising
AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU CHANGED THE FACES AGAIN!? UT WAS PERFECT BEFORE
Not terribly thrilled about waiting for this to be built from the ground up again, but I am happy to see you still going. Keep at it!
You really should've waited the couple months, because evidently no one reads update logs. The only change from the story I can see so far is the renaming of fey to numen for some reason, the organization having a name, the town itself seeming to be controlled by or is the body of an entity, and the numen being public.

cual es el juego anterior que era tan bueno? Rota name bro porfa
honestly, the new UI and format makes it unbearable to get through the playthrough. could've just continued the story using updated code or something.
is there anyway at all to play the old version of this game?
Join discord and ask for file.
ok maybe its just ive not been paying attention to this or anything having to do with it for a while but wtf happened to the original story? it was kinda the reason i liked this at all over w.m's stuff, now it feels alot more run of the mill i guess? like dont get me wrong its still great its just something feels off lol

I never updated, but from the sounds of it, i shouldnt. Glad to have a copy of the last version of CK before it was gone.
anyone know where i could play the old v0.22.2 before the rework there were a few updates i missed and want to see what was added
Dude, I’ve been chasing this for 4 years.
dont like the remake wouldve prefered a rushed ending instead
ok basically new update after i read some of the stuff in the discord
multyple old plotlines and settign i loved this game for are gone
becasue " they didnt made sense now"
i already didnt enjoy the act 3 becasue it threw away the urban fantasy setting for a battle royal which i hoped was a short thing till we finished the story yet this story ending never came .... maybe one day i might be able to play this game again for longer thern 10 minutes whithout feeling sad of what i lost and enjoy what was gained but this isnt the game i once loved
i hopew you as dev however are more satisfied with what you make right now
i will not judge you for dropping the original game happens all the time but i do be sad now
Maybe the real Corrupted Kingdoms were the memories of the game we made along the way?
I sincerely hope I can make more, hopefully fond, memories of this game in the future. Currently, this needs more time in the oven. And so I wait once more...
Came back to read up on comments.
The current trend is a lot of up votes and down votes for certain people.
There are some comments saying change is necessary or normal, that isn't appropriate for a game being described as better but the same as the original. It was whole heartedly expected to be beat for beat the same world and story with more comprehensive code and that would allow for better development.
This rework/remake game is literally not the same game. The world's are completely different between the original and this replacement that honestly betrays fans who wholeheartedly loved the original and expected the words of the creator were literal and sincere. The game that has replaced the original has basically cut up the original and pasted things into place abandoning a lot of the original world, setting, and designs. The main story isn't even seen as the same because the world is not the same.
So the changes beyond the code is not good, because it quite honestly says the developer lied. You can add new content, you can improve or rewrite the code, but changes like this were never wanted by most people who took your words wholeheartedly at face value.
No mind control or corruption you the name of the game? Honestly absolutely trash idea. It's a watered down slop, poor designs, poor content. Idrc that it's the "prologue" years people supported this and it's disrespectful to start from scratch so you can milk money out of people. Insane how NSFW devs somehow manage to waste everyone's time. At this point just replace everything with AI it'd probably be an improvement and get content out faster.
Just a funny story, the 0.2.2 naming confused me with the 0.22 old version, I literally opened it and thought "huh, this is almost the exact same", until i realized after playing through it and not seeing any changes for 5 minutes that I was playing the wrong game.
I supported this game back on patreon up until it's first graphic change when all the character models were changed the first time. I still stuck around for the story. As I really liked it. But now I come back after a while to discover the new game. The "remake". I'll be honest I'm not really sure what to think(if I should consider it good or bad). the original version of corrupted kingdoms was what got me interested in mystery/supernatural themed games. The character models are worse(I swear every time the models change it's for the worse.). The sound that's made when they talk gives me a headache. I didn't mind it as I already knew I was going into a remake and fisherman gave me a laugh. Until The grid system. I've always hated grid systems and the fact that In all the encounters(at least the ones I had) all characters had boxes on their heads were a major turn off for me. I will play the game again later . I will update this later when I do.
Current review
Overall: 3 stars out of 5
Character design: 3 star
reason: the noses look way too out of place.
Story: 5 stars
Reason: I'm biased sue me.
(In all seriousness I didn't mind a lot of the changes to the story at least the ones I got to as I was expecting it as I already knew I was going into a remake. So I was more accepting of it I think is a good way to put it. Also from my experience with the previous version I know that arc is likely to explain choices or why/how certain things happened via the story/plot. For example how exactly everyone knows about the fey in the remake. I'm sure that's going to be explained once you get far enough.).
New features: 3 star
Reason: let's start with the positive first . I thought the speech bubbles were a nice addition and the fact that it was made so you could change it back to the classic style bus settings was a nice touch.
Now onto the negative. I hate grid systems with a passion and the boxes on all encounter characters heads just seems lazy to me and we're a major turn off. Also the little audio thing that happened whenever someone talks gives me a headache.
So all in all as a former supporter you do you arc.
Don't let the haters or life get you down. I'm sorry to hear what happened with patreon. And I hope things get better for you and corrupted kingdoms.
Ps: sorry if this came across as pessimistic or mean. Didn't mean for it to. I'm just not the best at explaining things.
Ya know what Arc?
It certainly has been a long while, but you know what, I like what you've done here so far. I'm in this for the long haul. Besides, the reworked begining's honestly very good.
Sure alot of people are upset, understandable. But do not fret. Change is an inevitable part of life, and this project is no exception.
You're onto something good here. Keep it up man, let's see where this goes.
You ever get that point where you wait for something to cook only to find the kitchen burned down and you have to wait some more only to then find out they changed the recipe midway? Ah, well. I guess there's plenty more distractions to find. Guess I'll come back to this.... at some point.
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to that point. What restaurants are you going to
Soooooo, it's been a bit, so what happened to the game everything changed!?!!?!
I came back to this game after a long break. Everything changed and I cannot see my old saves. It's there something to do about it? I don't want to start all over again...
