You can't yet, I'm afraid. I need to repopulate the Manor with the updated map renders, character models and outfits before I can start to open up the game world again. Shouldn't be long now, though! :)
Hey, I love your game and I recently had a spark of creativity which led me to trying to create my own.
I really like the style of your game and my question is this- where did you get the assets for the backgrounds / environments? Did you make them yourself in blender or something, or did you buy them?
Hey, thanks for the kind words and good luck with your own project! :)
I make CK using Koikatsu (available on Steam) which has no official licensing agreements but the parent company has publicly stated that they're happy for indie devs to use their assets (and have even defended devs against their own distributor in the past!). This means you can't put your game up on Steam if you decide to go this route, however - just something to bear in mind!
Yes, I use it to create all the scenes - CharaStudio, to be specific. If you uave the Steam version check out the "Guides" in Steam to learn how to get CharaStudio active in your version :)
I love that this shows how much of the story is well made despite it being a 18+ game, it gives people a reason to care and love the characters. Props to ya Arcadean.
This makes me wonder, do the choices actually have an impact on the game or is it just to make it more interactive? Maybe it depends if it's on the short term (like a scene) or longer..
Yes, you can move saves to and from any OS :) If you're on Android 11+, though, you'll either need a file explorer app or to plug your phone into your computer since Google made the "data" folder hidden a while back.
Claire occupies an interesting space midway between side girl and main girl. She won't have the heart menu that the main girls have, but she will have a lot more content than the other side girls do :)
This is a very good game, honestly the second best I've ever played. I wish you were rich, creating a game like this must be very difficult so I appreciate the work of all the creators of these games. I didn't want to see the end of this game but I will, and this game will be on my phone forever. Good luck with your work :)
Also ik it would almost be the same if I asked for Claire to be a main girl she's better off being a side girl bc that means less work for The Arcadean
Wow, you've been around since practically the beginning, then! Thanks for sticking with CK for so long, and I hope you hang around to see the end!
As for Patreon, don't worry about it. Whilst the financial support is incredible (and super humbling) so long as people are playing my game and enjoying it, that's enough for me :)
Do we have any rough ideas on how low it'll be before we get most of characters back? Given usual schedule, and amount of characters, going to assume it'll take a couple of months minimum.
Not an insult about amount of content - considering weekly releases, its a neat amount per patch - but given that combined with amount of missing content in act 3 (between characters and the assumedly-needing-replacing-due-to-character-changes H scenes), I might need to put off weekly downloads for a bit because it'll be some time before we can really do much in act 3. If I want stuff to do in the game at the moment I'm better off with my act 2 save, which won't need updates to play.
I should be done repopulating the Manor within the next two updates, at which point the game world map will start to open up again, but no estimates on when Act Three is going to be as populated as Act Two, I'm afraid.
This is the curse of a solo dev on a weekly schedule :P Bearing in mind that Act Two was over two years in the making, and that I have to redo every single map scene, all the girls' outfits and some of their models, and you can see that it's going to take a little while to get everything up and running again.
On the plus side, the more I get done the faster the subsequent content will be, so every update will speed up every future update :)
Glad to hear the manor will be refilled as soon as that, though think I'm still going to have to wait a month or so. I enjoy being able to actually do stuff between events, so whilst don't need it to be quite as expansive as act 2, do need a little more to do first. Happy to wait though - let's face it, your update cycle is way faster than most developers, where you're lucky to get an update every three or four months (not complaining about them either, just stating fact).
All in all though, would prefer having to wait a bit before I play again to seeing the game suffer from over-hasty updates. So by all means glad to see you're taking the time to make it work :)
I just downloaded this game and played for a few days and its amazing. Its the first h game and visual novel i havnt gotten bored of after a few hours. I had a few questions related to the game (mainly design wise)
Will all the girls be ae to get pregnant eventually?
Will the children have a role other than just flavor?
How many acts are gonna be in the final product?
And lastly are there plans for more shortstacks/tiny girls? (I really like a good size difference XD )
Im not sure if any of these have been answered before or if Arcadean will see this and have time to answer but any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for making this awesome game by the way im officially invested in the plot its sooo good!
Hey, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the game so much, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future! :)
As to your questions:
1. The idea is for almost all Main Girls (Roxy, Qarinah and Lyx are either "no" or "maybe"), most Side Girls and some One-shot Girls to be able to to be impregnated.
2. The pregnancy system is entirely optional and can be turned off in the Preferences menu, so they'll never have more than a supporting role in the game.
3. There will be three acts, plus an epilogue
4. No specific plans for more girls right now (there are 17 main girls, over 20 side girls and even more one-shot girls currently) but the upcoming story does require more characters so one or more of them may be shortstack ;)
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer! Iam a sucker for both Qarinah and lyx so my biased hope is that they will be included but i understand if not. Im super excited to see where the story goes from here. Im still progressing in act 2 for now and will probably take a break once i hit act 3 to wait for updates etc. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for making this story. I have been obsessively playing for hours each day finding side events and easter eggs and just enjoying it. I only just found the family dates and i love them so much! So wholesome i could cry happy tears.
My pleasure! Always happy to answer players' questions :)
Lyx is a "maybe-leaning-towards-yes", and Qarinah is a "maybe, but it'd be a dream pregnancy so she could muck around with it and the resulting kid wouldn't be in the daycare" so it gets confusing ;P
I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far, and I hope you stick with it to the end!
I have now gotten the manor nexus and maxed the love of every main girl except chastity and jessica, I will continue to cross my fingers for lyx and would be okay with dream waifu having a dream baby XD.
On a side note congratulations your H game made me cry and im not ashamed to admit it, after constant nightmares while playing (im on day 196) I had finally finished the Qarinah romance and contentedly returned to the manor to sleep and as the nightmare started to see Qarinah defend MC made me shed a happy tear for the MC.
If you're on pc just go to where you have the game stored, open the old version folder, then open the game folder and copy the folder that's named saves. Now just head back to the folder with the current version and paste the saves folder into the game folder there
You actually don't have to do this. All saves on PC, Mac and Linux are saved to two locations - one is in the game's "saves" folder and the other is stored in a separate location on your computer. When you load up a new version the game will search for saves in both locations and move them from the external folder into the "saves" folder for you if the "saves" folder is empty :)
In short, on PC, Mac and Linux you just extract the new version to a fresh folder and play!
Something i´d love to see (that may very well be in the process) is different animations for the diff levels of "services". Like past "Too much teeth" Gets a different animation, as well as the kissing that would be awesome
It's the kind of detail I'd love to include, but as a solo dev on a weekly release schedule it's sadly not feasible without adding another year or two to the development time and shrinking the amount of new content in each release.
Maybe during the polish phase, once the game's in beta :)
I`ll make sure too stay tuned then!!! As I said before, Loving the game! Keep up the good work but also look after yourself! Stay hydrated and stuff xD -Greeting from Argentina :D
I got a question for anyone if you went for the villain type of route type 1 for those who did like the good route type 2 for those who picked like a 50/50 type 3 because now I'm curious on your guys choices
Go to the Outskirts map (the one with the farm) and click on the "EXPLORE" button. Then keep exploring and once you run out of events, pay attention to the text hints :)
Thank you! I managed, I finished the second act. But there is a problem... the android version of the third act is not working. I hope the problem will be fixed soon... I really like this game!
well now I thought of something really funny and maybe even slightly a little lewd let's just say it involves Pixie and a fey made of ice cream I think you can gather the rest of the details
Day 9 (I think): Damn my guys, that was a crazy week, not in a good way, I'm exhausted, couldn't write the next lists; who cares.
Anyways, Day 3 was kinda the end, I can't say that much about the others; either we have almost no content about them, they are almost a booty call, they're Lyx (don't get me wrong she's great, love her and Johnny) or someone like Chole, I feel bad for her. Poor thingy. It feels wrong in a way.
But yeah, that was the great list about the +50 characters but not a list and speedrun, I'm gonna return to my hole, so call me in 2 days. Drink water and remember: your nose looks great.
Aww, thanks! I really appreciate that :) CK is my first real game so I've learned a lot (and learning more every day)! So hopefully my next game I'll be able to take all the lessons I've learned and build something much, much better from the ground up!
U know what really REALLY sucks. Not only are we unsure about the safety of everyone including your kids. Not only are we unsure of whats going to happen. But unless arcadean had a shit load of act 3 already preped and ready to be implemented. We can only get so much every week...kinda wish I waited a month before doing the act 2 finale
Haha, sorry about that! I promise I am working as hard as I can to get as much out as possible each week. Things will speed up once all the Act Three map and costume updated designs are done :)
Okey so, I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting very much from this game but dude. IM HOOKED the story is very interesting (went for the villain-y side of it) and I'm loving every second of it
characters are fun and interesting to interact with and love the H-brand Paimon haha. Really looking forward to more of this!
I am going, to be honest, I think that the fey that you helped except Morgana is going to side with the Mc since it would make sense but the store is good at plot twists I'm not going to expect it but maybe they will help. Ruin can be avoided if The mc Believes in his bonds of his comrades.
Gotta say, this game blew my mind. I was expecting the usual low effort, your-here-for-the-porn-anyway game experience that porn games are pretty much known for. What I got was me being addicted to this game and characters (and putting off some rl things I shouldn't have) that was a real treat I haven't gotten from non-porn games in a long, long time.
So thanks to the dev for reminding this old hermit why games are magic again. I had a blast.
Also, more mad magic goblin short stack. I needz it.
High praise indeed! Thank you - I really appreciate it. It always means so much to solo devs like myself to know that people are playing and enjoying their work :)
Hope you got those RL things done, though!
And lots more Magic Goblin Short Stack to come in Act Three! With the way things are going, her propensity for setting things on fire should come in very handy ;)
And stayed for the (holy crap!) World ending prophesy, enormous amount of Side content, deeply written characters, dibeties including adorablness, and so much more.
Gotta say I'm hooked and looking greatly toward seeing how this Part 1 of 3 continues.
I will say that I noticed meeting the shy girl in the college library after Maxing out your authority, it still reads the same as before you max out.
For the shy girl: Pretty sure that's on purpose. But only Arc knows.
I personally didn't expected anything just wanted to play anything really. Little did I knew I'd be waiting for each update since then. And almost speedruning through the game and making a whole week schedule (like Tuesdays with Gwen).
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :) I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for Act Three!
As for the Quiet Girl, that's on purpose. MC even comments on how odd it is (and if you try to do naughty things with the class at Max Authority, she reacts even odder). Quiet Girl mysteries, plus the mystery of the Sword Girl, will be revealed in Act Three (provided you max out Authority before doing the Act Two finale) :)
Wait i just realized in end of act 3 Aunt jessie said that there's fighting and everything is utter chaos and had to board the mansion but what about the kids the daycare? will they be alright?
If I remember correctly, we can't enter the farm at night because some protection or something, so Annie maybe has a back up plan, but it would be great if the kids went with their mothers too.
ngl I'm so attached with the kids that i almost typed "imma make a deal with a demon to go to the game just, murder all of the morgana and allies with her"
I wonder if the kids in the daycare r all right because that would be bad parenting skills due to the character being out of it and being surrounded by the fighting in the areas?
Don't remind me about them, I already feel horrible not knowing about them and the MC being out for three months doesn't help. I'm pretty sure Annie has everything under control. I hope.
I mean, they're probably fine, right? They have Annie and Kana out there with them! Isolated... near to Morgana's headquarters... whilst a war rages around them... and rumours spread that MC is dead...
Excuse me but did you say uh oh cause I am really freaking out here if the kids are dead piss at myself for not spending time with them make the MC look bad as a parent also last I checked Annie and kana don't have a proper security system to protect them
I'm quite curious about the mysterious merchant. I mean, I know that there are plenty of games (Resident Evil, RPG games and others) where there is a merchant wearing clothes that cover the whole body, making he or she look anonymous. Yes, on these games, the merchant is just a single-purpose NPC, which the purpose is to just sell and buy. However, there is something slightly different about this mysterious merchant on CK, I can't exactly point my finger on it, though. It seems that she knows more about the MC and the secrets of the game's world than I (the player) do and than she is letting out. Also, I don't know whether it means something or not, but her background music is kinda... Unique? Different?
Maybe she has something to do with 25's prophecy...
I've come here today to ask you, Arcadean: Are we going to learn more about her? Is she going to have a fundamental role during act 3? I mean, yes, she is just a mysterious merchant, but she seems to know too much to be ignored, not mentioning that she also has powers and seems to be too dangerous (she turned men into her horses).
I suspect she is a multidimensional legendary fey :P
Sorry, she just caught too much of my attention... Perhaps she is just a side character like the summoner and her pet.
Good eye - yes, the Mysterious Merchant is important (and those horses may not be exactly what they seem, either) and you will learn a little more about her in Act Three.
CK is the first in a planned trilogy, though, so some secrets may have to wait for the sequels... sorry! ;)
Am I the only one who finished the story of act 2 but didn't do all the side quests and is stuck in the room of the mansion without being able to get out. Is it a bug ?
This is probably a really stupid question. When you finally wake up and you ask if any of your friends were okay my guy said, "If I kindled my friendship" and stuff does that mean I picked some wrong decisions? Or didn't do something prior. I know I met all the side girls I think. Sorry if this is literally said after that line I wanted to know before I keep going thanks love the game :D!
The only "kindle" MC mentions is that "The kindling was there already, but I... I was the match. And now..." which is in reference to the start of the conflict in Act Three :)
If you got all the girls up to level four love (except for Morgana) and did all the side-girl content, and maxed out Authority in the College then you should have access to all the content as it's revealed in Act Three, so no worries!
There are some "wrong" choices that you can make, but I will always make sure that there are ways to undo the consequences of those choices if you're clever :)
You mean how to download a patch? If you're on PC, Mac or Linux just use the Itch App and you can get patches that way :) If you're on Android then sadly no patches are available - Ren'py wasn't built with patching in mind.
720p, actually - for reasons of filesize, primarily. I wanted to make sure that I could keep the game's filesize as low as possible because I know a lot of people don't have good connections, or have data caps, and I want to make their lives as easy as possible :)
Is there a version of the game that I can download that is higher Quality? I have gb wifi and have no problem with that. Would I have to pay for it? And thanks for taking the time to reply
Unfortunately not - rendering everything out at different resolutions and uploading twice as many files just isn't feasible on my weekly update schedule. Sorry!
I've learned a lot about compression working on CK, though, so the next game I release will be in at least QHD resolution :)
Your right Arc they are a mad man for doing that even though they know they can go back to their old save files after an update wich your only forced to do if your on mobile
Yes. Hook your phone up to your pc and browse the game folder. The folder you're looking for is named "saves", simply copy that folder into the game folder and it should work.
long time i didn't play this game (old laptop died), i was looking some comment and wdtm war and battle ???? i think i should really play it again lmao
I just think it would be hilarious and yes I'll delete my posts just to not spoil the joke or I could leave it I'm sure not everyone reads the comments anyway unless they are stuck somewhere

How do you progress aftrer the church fight, Like how do you leave the house. THE KIDS!!
You can't yet, I'm afraid. I need to repopulate the Manor with the updated map renders, character models and outfits before I can start to open up the game world again. Shouldn't be long now, though! :)
Hey, I love your game and I recently had a spark of creativity which led me to trying to create my own.
I really like the style of your game and my question is this- where did you get the assets for the backgrounds / environments? Did you make them yourself in blender or something, or did you buy them?

This means you can't put your game up on Steam if you decide to go this route, however - just something to bear in mind!
Awesome! I am indeed using Koikatsu for the characters, but I was unaware that scenes can be made too?
If that's the case, then do you just use Koikatsu for all assets and animations? If so that would help tremendously.
It's a shame I can't draw or 3D model to save my life because I'd love to get really creative with the art style of the game haha!
Yes, I use it to create all the scenes - CharaStudio, to be specific. If you uave the Steam version check out the "Guides" in Steam to learn how to get CharaStudio active in your version :)
Will the next update be released in a week or should I wait longer?
Usually releases drop every 10 to 15 days, but if you're in the patreon you can try it like a week earlier
They release every Monday for patreon and Thursday for the public.
Oh thanks for replying
Will things get better I can't sleep because of what happened to the characters
Some things will get better, some will get much worse. Make the right choices, though, and there should be a happy ending waiting for you :)
Thanks for replying.
I hope the things that will get worse not affect the characters I love
I love that this shows how much of the story is well made despite it being a 18+ game, it gives people a reason to care and love the characters. Props to ya Arcadean.
True 😌
This makes me wonder, do the choices actually have an impact on the game or is it just to make it more interactive? Maybe it depends if it's on the short term (like a scene) or longer..
Pretty sure our dev has surprises waiting for us; maybe now in act 3 our choices will have a bigger impact.
would it be possible to export a windows savefile to android? i made it to act 2 but i want to play on my phone with my pc save
Yes, you can move saves to and from any OS :) If you're on Android 11+, though, you'll either need a file explorer app or to plug your phone into your computer since Google made the "data" folder hidden a while back.
Is Claire technically a side girl?
I don't really mind if she is bc her being a main would make doing her part of the story slightly more difficult
Claire occupies an interesting space midway between side girl and main girl. She won't have the heart menu that the main girls have, but she will have a lot more content than the other side girls do :)
That's good to know
Be sure to save before going to the 3rd stage
My heart man, it hurts, no spoilers tho.
This is a very good game, honestly the second best I've ever played. I wish you were rich, creating a game like this must be very difficult so I appreciate the work of all the creators of these games. I didn't want to see the end of this game but I will, and this game will be on my phone forever. Good luck with your work :)
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it :)
Even when CK finishes, I have plans already drafted for CK2 and CK3 so the end of this game won't be the end of the story!
How amazing, I'll stay until the end!
How much do i have to pay to get Ami on the main girl cast
(holds pinky finger up to mouth)
ONE BILLION DOLLARS!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO and I just finished it today to come back to a new update!
Amazing game homie take some pride in your work and dont forget to rest when you need to
Wich one is Ami again?
The mouse fey that was murdered
Oh I guess I forgot bc that's the last you get to see of her
Also ik it would almost be the same if I asked for Claire to be a main girl she's better off being a side girl bc that means less work for The Arcadean
If you want him to have more work than your going to have to give him more money is basically what I'm saying
I'm assuming it's the same cost if I asked for Claire to be a main girl too so I'm not surprised
but what would it cost to make Ami a side girl instead?
How can I make progress with Morgana and the nun to complete organisation lead
U can't
Just follow the Fey and Eldritch leads in your leads menu (click the envelope icon in the top-right) :)
Pregnancy system add it yo
its in the game already
Pregnancy has been in the game for well over a year now... :P
I noticed people are still having a difficult time with it
Wow, you've been around since practically the beginning, then! Thanks for sticking with CK for so long, and I hope you hang around to see the end!
As for Patreon, don't worry about it. Whilst the financial support is incredible (and super humbling) so long as people are playing my game and enjoying it, that's enough for me :)
I appreciate it! :)
you are amazing bro :)
La aplicación no funciona en Android, solo se mantiene funcional durante un tiempo y luego acaba por sacarte
Funciona para la mayoría de las personas. Debes tener mucho espacio libre en tu teléfono. 6GB+

Imma wait for a month so i can play the latest update on a moth anyone want to join me?
I just downloaded this game and played for a few days and its amazing. Its the first h game and visual novel i havnt gotten bored of after a few hours. I had a few questions related to the game (mainly design wise)
Will all the girls be ae to get pregnant eventually?

How do you transfer your progress to the latest version?
If you're on pc just go to where you have the game stored, open the old version folder, then open the game folder and copy the folder that's named saves. Now just head back to the folder with the current version and paste the saves folder into the game folder there

In short, on PC, Mac and Linux you just extract the new version to a fresh folder and play!
I updated from the itch launcher and it didn't bring over the saves for me, only the autosaves.
If you're on mobile you just need to install the apk file as an update without uninstalling the current version.
thanks!
Something i´d love to see (that may very well be in the process) is different animations for the diff levels of "services". Like past "Too much teeth" Gets a different animation, as well as the kissing that would be awesome
Otherwise loving the game!
It's the kind of detail I'd love to include, but as a solo dev on a weekly release schedule it's sadly not feasible without adding another year or two to the development time and shrinking the amount of new content in each release.

-Greeting from Argentina :D
I got a question for anyone if you went for the villain type of route type 1 for those who did like the good route type 2 for those who picked like a 50/50 type 3 because now I'm curious on your guys choices
I pick 4, the good route with some bad actions I'd say 80/20, maybe
that technically 2 since you did most of the good path
1
2
3. I mainly went good route but was very quick to punish any who i felt deserved it.
friends, what should I do when they ask me to investigate the outskirts
Go to the Outskirts map (the one with the farm) and click on the "EXPLORE" button. Then keep exploring and once you run out of events, pay attention to the text hints :)
i'm looking at the outskirts icon on that map right now in-between the farm and the cottage
I'm not sure what you're confused about, sorry. Like I said, just click the "EXPLORE" button. It's the one furthest on the right.
Thank you! I managed, I finished the second act. But there is a problem... the android version of the third act is not working. I hope the problem will be fixed soon... I really like this game!
Me and Pixey are on the same wavelength
Everyone hide your ice cream!
well now I thought of something really funny and maybe even slightly a little lewd let's just say it involves Pixie and a fey made of ice cream I think you can gather the rest of the details
The sexiest murder ever!
not quite what I was going for but that too probably
I was thinking more on the lines of something sexual but ig murder would still happen like you said sexiest murder ever
Day 9 (I think): Damn my guys, that was a crazy week, not in a good way, I'm exhausted, couldn't write the next lists; who cares.
Anyways, Day 3 was kinda the end, I can't say that much about the others; either we have almost no content about them, they are almost a booty call, they're Lyx (don't get me wrong she's great, love her and Johnny) or someone like Chole, I feel bad for her. Poor thingy. It feels wrong in a way.
But yeah, that was the great list about the +50 characters but not a list and speedrun, I'm gonna return to my hole, so call me in 2 days. Drink water and remember: your nose looks great.
Sorry you had a crazy week. Hope the next one is better! :)
BTW, enjoying your vacations?? How have you been??
Break ended on Monday, so I'm back at the grind ;) Been good, thanks!
loving this game so much, bet what ever you next game will but will be just as good or even better
Aww, thanks! I really appreciate that :) CK is my first real game so I've learned a lot (and learning more every day)! So hopefully my next game I'll be able to take all the lessons I've learned and build something much, much better from the ground up!
U know what really REALLY sucks. Not only are we unsure about the safety of everyone including your kids. Not only are we unsure of whats going to happen. But unless arcadean had a shit load of act 3 already preped and ready to be implemented. We can only get so much every week...kinda wish I waited a month before doing the act 2 finale
I totally agree :,)
Same here
Haha, sorry about that! I promise I am working as hard as I can to get as much out as possible each week. Things will speed up once all the Act Three map and costume updated designs are done :)
Ia there a new nude for the blind ninja
Sawano? No new event for her, yet - MC hasn't left the Manor in Act Three yet :)
I do hope those kid's make it in one piece either wise I will regret my decision leaving them it the daycare
agree
u know this happening early in NNN can be very helpful in waiting for a few more updates
Okey so, I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting very much from this game but dude. IM HOOKED the story is very interesting (went for the villain-y side of it) and I'm loving every second of it
characters are fun and interesting to interact with and love the H-brand Paimon haha. Really looking forward to more of this!
Hey, thanks very much for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying CK, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future :)
Also, CK came out a year before Genshin Impact, so I like to think of Paimon as a vanilla-brand Pixie ;)
KING! We appreciate all the hard work you are doing and have done.
I am going, to be honest, I think that the fey that you helped except Morgana is going to side with the Mc since it would make sense but the store is good at plot twists I'm not going to expect it but maybe they will help. Ruin can be avoided if The mc Believes in his bonds of his comrades.
No spoilers, but you could be right! :)
I will say that things will go very differently with each main girl depending on whether you got them to Level Four Love before the finale or not!
Gotta say, this game blew my mind. I was expecting the usual low effort, your-here-for-the-porn-anyway game experience that porn games are pretty much known for. What I got was me being addicted to this game and characters (and putting off some rl things I shouldn't have) that was a real treat I haven't gotten from non-porn games in a long, long time.
So thanks to the dev for reminding this old hermit why games are magic again. I had a blast.
Also, more mad magic goblin short stack. I needz it.
High praise indeed! Thank you - I really appreciate it. It always means so much to solo devs like myself to know that people are playing and enjoying their work :)
Hope you got those RL things done, though!
And lots more Magic Goblin Short Stack to come in Act Three! With the way things are going, her propensity for setting things on fire should come in very handy ;)
So, bear with me:
I came for the porn
And stayed for the (holy crap!) World ending prophesy, enormous amount of Side content, deeply written characters, dibeties including adorablness, and so much more.
Gotta say I'm hooked and looking greatly toward seeing how this Part 1 of 3 continues.
I will say that I noticed meeting the shy girl in the college library after Maxing out your authority, it still reads the same as before you max out.
Aside from that, Damn you good!
For the shy girl: Pretty sure that's on purpose. But only Arc knows.
I personally didn't expected anything just wanted to play anything really. Little did I knew I'd be waiting for each update since then. And almost speedruning through the game and making a whole week schedule (like Tuesdays with Gwen).
Anyways, Do you have a favorite character??
Kana, Ami, Lyx
Love the cuties!
Indeed, those are the cutest in the game, good taste
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :) I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for Act Three!
As for the Quiet Girl, that's on purpose. MC even comments on how odd it is (and if you try to do naughty things with the class at Max Authority, she reacts even odder). Quiet Girl mysteries, plus the mystery of the Sword Girl, will be revealed in Act Three (provided you max out Authority before doing the Act Two finale) :)
Wait i just realized in end of act 3 Aunt jessie said that there's fighting and everything is utter chaos and had to board the mansion but what about the kids the daycare? will they be alright?
If I remember correctly, we can't enter the farm at night because some protection or something, so Annie maybe has a back up plan, but it would be great if the kids went with their mothers too.
They have Annie and Kana with them, and the daycare was built to withstand whatever Fey abilities the kids may manifest which should help.
On the other hand, they're also isolated, right next to Morgana's HQ, a war is going on around them and rumours have spread that MC is dead.
So basically... who knows?
(I do. I know. But I'm not telling!)
ngl I'm so attached with the kids that i almost typed "imma make a deal with a demon to go to the game just, murder all of the morgana and allies with her"
Haha, well let's hope it doesn't come to that!
I wonder if the kids in the daycare r all right because that would be bad parenting skills due to the character being out of it and being surrounded by the fighting in the areas?
Don't remind me about them, I already feel horrible not knowing about them and the MC being out for three months doesn't help. I'm pretty sure Annie has everything under control. I hope.
I mean, they're probably fine, right? They have Annie and Kana out there with them! Isolated... near to Morgana's headquarters... whilst a war rages around them... and rumours spread that MC is dead...
... uh-oh.
Excuse me but did you say uh oh cause I am really freaking out here if the kids are dead piss at myself for not spending time with them make the MC look bad as a parent also last I checked Annie and kana don't have a proper security system to protect them
I'm quite curious about the mysterious merchant. I mean, I know that there are plenty of games (Resident Evil, RPG games and others) where there is a merchant wearing clothes that cover the whole body, making he or she look anonymous. Yes, on these games, the merchant is just a single-purpose NPC, which the purpose is to just sell and buy. However, there is something slightly different about this mysterious merchant on CK, I can't exactly point my finger on it, though. It seems that she knows more about the MC and the secrets of the game's world than I (the player) do and than she is letting out. Also, I don't know whether it means something or not, but her background music is kinda... Unique? Different?
Maybe she has something to do with 25's prophecy...
I've come here today to ask you, Arcadean: Are we going to learn more about her? Is she going to have a fundamental role during act 3? I mean, yes, she is just a mysterious merchant, but she seems to know too much to be ignored, not mentioning that she also has powers and seems to be too dangerous (she turned men into her horses).
I suspect she is a multidimensional legendary fey :P
Sorry, she just caught too much of my attention... Perhaps she is just a side character like the summoner and her pet.
Good eye - yes, the Mysterious Merchant is important (and those horses may not be exactly what they seem, either) and you will learn a little more about her in Act Three.
CK is the first in a planned trilogy, though, so some secrets may have to wait for the sequels... sorry! ;)
You're building a hell of a hype at me, haha
Am I the only one who finished the story of act 2 but didn't do all the side quests and is stuck in the room of the mansion without being able to get out. Is it a bug ?
It's not a bug dw. It's like the previous version where you had to wait with artifact until the next update.
It's stated in the devlog too
Spoilers(?) for the end of act two
This is probably a really stupid question. When you finally wake up and you ask if any of your friends were okay my guy said, "If I kindled my friendship" and stuff does that mean I picked some wrong decisions? Or didn't do something prior. I know I met all the side girls I think. Sorry if this is literally said after that line I wanted to know before I keep going thanks love the game :D!
The only "kindle" MC mentions is that "The kindling was there already, but I... I was the match. And now..." which is in reference to the start of the conflict in Act Three :)
If you got all the girls up to level four love (except for Morgana) and did all the side-girl content, and maxed out Authority in the College then you should have access to all the content as it's revealed in Act Three, so no worries!
There are some "wrong" choices that you can make, but I will always make sure that there are ways to undo the consequences of those choices if you're clever :)
Thank you! I misread some stuff probably in the game! Thanks for being kind about it haha!
My pleasure - I'm always happy to help out :) Thanks for playing CK!
How to download update only?
You mean how to download a patch? If you're on PC, Mac or Linux just use the Itch App and you can get patches that way :) If you're on Android then sadly no patches are available - Ren'py wasn't built with patching in mind.
yea im on pc. thanks for the reply
Game looks like its in 480p is this normal?
720p, actually - for reasons of filesize, primarily. I wanted to make sure that I could keep the game's filesize as low as possible because I know a lot of people don't have good connections, or have data caps, and I want to make their lives as easy as possible :)
Is there a version of the game that I can download that is higher Quality? I have gb wifi and have no problem with that. Would I have to pay for it? And thanks for taking the time to reply
Unfortunately not - rendering everything out at different resolutions and uploading twice as many files just isn't feasible on my weekly update schedule. Sorry!
I've learned a lot about compression working on CK, though, so the next game I release will be in at least QHD resolution :)
Nothing like forcing myself to restart most updates like a weirdo, despite that I appreciate every one.
You know your saves will transfer to each new version, right? ;) Glad you're enjoying the game, though, you madman!
Your right Arc they are a mad man for doing that even though they know they can go back to their old save files after an update wich your only forced to do if your on mobile
Is there any way for me to migrate my save files on mobile to pc
Yes. Hook your phone up to your pc and browse the game folder. The folder you're looking for is named "saves", simply copy that folder into the game folder and it should work.
Thanks a lot. I'd figured as much but I just wanted to make sure there wasnt anything preventing cross platform compatibility.
long time i didn't play this game (old laptop died), i was looking some comment and wdtm war and battle ???? i think i should really play it again lmao
think ill bookmark this and wait till either the game is done or they stop updating it.
I'll stop updating it when the game is done, which should be within one to two years :)
1-2 yeaRS, I can't wait to see what this game brings then omg. Already can't wait for monday!
damn 0.16.7 must be big no updates yesterday
Arc announced they'd be taking their Bi-monthly break this week, between the Act 2 Finale and Act 3
As Sloshy says, I'm taking my once-every-two-months break this week. Normal service will resume next week! :)
Yah ok Roxy XD
Also I'm pretty sure she couldn't get mad about being called hot stuff bc she quite literally is
Actually why is that Joke not in this game? pls add the duologue for Roxy to be like hi there Sloshy and the MC replies hay there hot stuff
I just think it would be hilarious and yes I'll delete my posts just to not spoil the joke or I could leave it I'm sure not everyone reads the comments anyway unless they are stuck somewhere
ah i see, well have a nice break then!
Yea, everyones taking his 2 week break, since we are stuck in our room and cant leave -_-
