After all games I played in this section, this game is the beste game ever. I couldn’t stop playing that game. And with a creator that is so active on the comments and the game and even give us some text based updates where he say somethings about the new update, is the best game ever. Thank you for the great work, that you put into the game. And I really hope, it will stay like it is now with you. see ya
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :) Solo devs live and die on positive reinforcement so it means a lot to hear that people are playing and enjoying CK.
Next update is out next week and it's a big one! I hope you enjoy it!
Your game is the first one I have ever played and holds a special spot for me. Thank you for all the hard work you put in, it really shows. You are the only one I see with weekly updates, and you never disappoint! I wish you good health and will be supporting you soon! Cheers mate!
Just a thought about how to get around the um problem with Emma. (Tryna avoid spoilers for those who haven't gotten that far). Maybe a swing type setup? Just a thought. And I'm super excited to see the new bits, the combat system, new characters, visiting old characters, seeing the new main story unfold, and I'm really curious about the crafting as well. Have to say, this is still the best game I've ever played of any kind on any system and I absolutely adore Arc, CK and all of the CK characters. I even feel some pity for Morgana. Sumtin bad had to have happened to make her the way she is. I still have lots of questions, thoughts, and ideas, but I'll keep them to myself for now. I am curious about the other maps (the ones for the mountains and ourskirts)... the city is split into districts, but not so with the other maps. Lol. It's okay I can wait and see. IRL I sustained an L1 compression fracture (basically broke my back) a couple of weeks ago so at this point I have lots of time (and pain) while healing. I've been getting potions and making kiddos (went back to older save). I dunno how many potions are too many or if they will be as accessible in act 3, so prepping now. Also a bit curious about how choices/bits in act 1 and especially 2 will affect act 3 or if they will. Like the hiding spot in the flat. Or the purchase of various properties (the company comes to mind). If someone didn't buy the company, the marina (no 🐠 gurlz), did or didn't find summoner and pet, etc or even didn't win over one or more council members... if that's even possible... how would it affect events later? (might make things harder I would imagine). Not expecting a spoiler filled answer or anything, just been thinking. And thinking about how to take down the bloody eldritch. Lol. Maybe I have way too much time on my hands. 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway thank you for this wonderful game and for tolerating my musings and this wall of text.
Ouch! Sorry to hear about your back, and I hope you're getting plenty of bed rest and healing well!
As for your questions:
1. Swing MIGHT work, but it depends on how high up it is.
2. There's a small hint as to what might have happened to Morgana in one of your dreams...
3. The other maps aren't split into disctricts, but they will have their own "zones" like the town does. Contested areas, areas with a special focus or something to guard or use. That kind of thing.
4. Potions will be useable in Act Three, and you'll be able to purchase ingredients for crafting (amongst other things) with them.
5. Decisions made - especially the purchasing of property and getting girls' event lines completed - will have a huge effect on Act Three. From granting or denying access to certain characters, crafting recipes, combat skills and more. Some of the girls may even turn on you...
Hope that answers your questions, and that you're feeling better! :)
Thank you so much, Arc, for your kind words and again for such an amazing game. I'm healing, albeit slowly (will probably take about 3 months) and at the moment, I'm feeling a bit like Gwen. I can stand and walk now, but only for maybe 20 to 30 minutes at a time at most and that not often yet. My fiancee and our children live in the UK and I live in the US (was going to visit for 6 months starting in the beginning of April, but thats been put on hold for now) and I've pretty much been on my own through this. I've had our CK family to keep me company though, and this has helped immensely.
Speaking of Gwen, in her current condition (much like my own, life imitating art) maybe a swing would work with her as well?
Another question... you said some of the girls might turn? Does that include the ones already Awakened/Shattered (Chloe)? Just curious. It's okay if you can't answer this.
Oh one more tiny question. I know it's probably too late to do anything about this now, and its okay if it is, but any slight chance there may be any short ginger girls? Just curious. Lol yes I do have a type, I guess. My fiancee is a very short, very pretty, very ginger British girl, freckles and all. ❤😍
Thank you for the clarification on the other maps, the potions, and Morgana as well as how choices will affect act 3. I noticed the hint in the dream, I think that's why I feel bad for Morgana now.
I'm super excited to see all of the new bits of CK and I'm very glad that you've been able to take your time and hopefully you've also found time to rest, time with your family and for your own things. You always have our love, gratitude and support, Arc. ☺️
Sorry to hear about your back. I went through something similar a few years back, but mine wasn't a compression fracture. L4 and L5 were broken when I was assaulted and I landed on a rock. It gets better after a while, but it's going to hurt like hell while it heals up. Hopefully you have good doctors and you make a full recovery with no lingering after effects. I still have issues from time to time because of cold weather or moving around too much, which has basically limited me to a sit down job where I can get up and move around to avoid sitting in one position for too long.
I'm sorry that you've had to go through what I am now. In my case I slipped on some ice on the way to work. Thank you for your kind wishes. I have to say, no I really don't have good doctors tbh. Got an xray, a toridol (basically ibupofen) injection, 2 cold packs and 2 heat packs and sent home. Hopefully I can still work when I get out. Generally I do inventory at a warehouse, lots of bending, sitting, standing, walking, etc.
Wow, that's some crazy unfortunate timing - I'm sure your fiancée and kids were very sad to hear you wouldn't be able to join them as planned. Hopefully your back heals quickly and you don't have to put the visit off for too long!
So, for the questions:
1. A swing might work, but knowing Gwen she'd get too excited and overly-enthusiastic and make herself worse...
2. Girls at Love 4 won't turn, but anyone below that once you hit Act Three has a chance to. Some will fight for your enemies and others will simply "nope" outta town.
3. Always possible that one of the Boss Girls will turn out to be a short, ginger girl. There's 40-something districts in the first map alone, after all! :P
From the description, your fiancée sounds Scottish. I was actually born there, and most of my family still lives there. So maybe they know her ;)
I've had no rest, no breaks and no weekends for the last four weeks as I've worked on this next update but I'll be taking a week off at the end of the month to recover a little, haha.
Fingers crossed for your quick recovery and that you don't have to postpone your trip too long!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt, kind message, Arc, it means more to me than you can know. Due to the long healing and having to be off work for much of the 3 months or so, I honestly don't know how long it will be before I can see my fiancee and our girls again and I probably won't be able to hold our girls even then, which is a bit depressing to say the least and my fiancee and our babies were absolutely devastated to hear of the injury and such a massive setback. My fiancee has tried to put a brave face on it, but the worry and disappointment have really taken their toll on her.
Lol you're very right, my fiancee lives in NE UK but has lots of relatives in Scotland and her accent is a mix of Scottish and Geordie (the accent around the Newcastle upon tyne area). She's absolutely delightful and I could and often do listen to her talk for hours. Lol maybe your family do indeed know her. I haven't been to Scotland yet but we're very close to the border. I absolutely love life in the NE UK and can hardly wait to go home. And I'm very, very glad that you're planning some time off to finally rest. I know you've been working hard on CK and I'm beyond grateful as are all of your adoring fans in our CK family, but it's important to get plenty of rest and some Arc time too.
Thank you for answering my questions again, I just have two more, one is actually more of an observation though, really.
The only main girls I have without full hearts are Chastity, Morgana and Lyx, all of which I know come later (in more ways than one?). Though I think the real personality of Chloe might wanna stab the MC in the neck. Repeatedly. Lol. But is there a possibility of side girls (Jessica's friends, Molly, etc) turning? Doesn't seem likely, just curious.
And my adoration of you has just gone up 1000%, it sounds like due to the combat system, crafting, and the effect of choices, it sounds like CK will have a HUGE replay value, the game changing if we go back and make different choices. CK, in my humble opinion, is truly the best of the best games but this will truly seal the deal, putting it in a league of its very own.
Much love Arc, and thank you again for absolutely everything and for being the most amazing, caring and diligent dev ever. Idk how many others would care enough to message their fans and I know we all truly appreciate it.
Again sorry for another huge wall of text. I keep doing that. Sorry, Arc.
I mean every word, and I shall keep my fingers crossed for your speedy recovery! They're dong amazing things with physical therapy these days :)
As to your question (I could only see one?), there is a possibility that side girls will turn on you if you haven't fully interacted with them in Act Two, but it will be rare - most often they'll just disappear when the war kicks off. In those cases there will be small amounts of lore you can find, indicating what happened to them.
I'm hoping that the new systems give players a lot to engage with, without feeling grindy or forced. CK is my first game, and so it's very much an experiment in seeing what works and what doesn't. I hope you enjoy the new stuff, though!
I haven't tried Eternum but I did play Once in a Lifetime which was quite good. The choice system was a bit crazy though, had long term effects. And Heros Harem Guild kept crashing on my poor Android 11 phone. So I cleared all other games and kept the only important one, the best one, CK. Lol.
Hey with the kids I know there is an event where you do some with both the mother and kid but i can’t figure out what the event for Jessica and your daughter
Well "everyone" includes me, so... it depends on my mood and the event, honestly, but my favourite scenes to write are the silly, wholesome ones. So my favourite characters are most often Pixie, Gramps and Alice.
I really enjoy writing them all, though. Even Morgana. Sometimes it's cathartic to just be a real birch ;)
I do love all of the CK characters, I even feel bad for Morgana and lots of the girls are super cute (Ami, Hana, Pixie, Annie, Jessica and the Artifact all come to mind... gotta love those huge eyes on all of them, Dhena as well despite her being a nasty pasty) and Ard has grown on me as well. But my #1 favorite character has to be Gramps. I always get a laugh out of him and he seems to be the most knowledgeable, wisest and toughest character in CK.
İ am currebtly at chapter 3 i have done everything i can in chapter 2 (at leadt i hope) but what happens if in an update there is something New added to chapter 2? Will i have to go bacak to my chapter 2 save?
I won't be adding anything important to Act Two (or One) until the game hits beta and I begin the QoL and polishing phase.
I don't want to force people to replay old content, which is why work very hard to make sure all versions work with all older save files and saves are never wiped - even though occasional wipes would make my life a lot easier! ;P
You mean from what happens to her at during the Act 2-3 time jump? Unfortunately no, sorry. But she wears it like a badge of honour - and who knows? Magic's a thing, so maybe MC can find a way to fix it :)
The best pron galgame I have ever played! But, when I tried to open my saves with V0.17.7 from V0.16.2, I got an error about assets path or something...
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

From the looks of things, the "Time" variable is getting messed up and outputting a weird string:
\u4e0b\u5348
Instead of "morning", "afternoon" or "evening".
The only ways I know of that the variable could be getting messed up is if the game was extracted badly (files copied into old folders or folder structure messed with), you're running a translated version and the translator goofed, or if you or someone with access to your device has been editing variables manually.
Unfortunately, I can only make two recommendations:
1. Download the entire update file again and extract to a brand-new folder (don't move your saves, the game will do it for you).
or
2. Try loading your autosaves and see if any of them work (you can find them by clicking the "A" at the bottom of the load screen, just to the left of the page numbers).
The only Fey that can move into the Manor right now are Ami, Ard & Hana, and Emma. You can get all of them by following the "FEY" lead (in the envelope icon, top-right of the screen) :)
If you're running Android 11+ then Google has hidden your data folder. To access it you need to connect your phone to your PC with a USB cable or use an app like Solid Explorer or X-Plore to give you access to the folder again.
Also, you don't need to manually transfer saves around, regardless of your device or OS. The game will do it for you :)
just a quick question are we able to see luna and the other girls in the nexus in the next update or will that come after the combat system update and if possible try to make a cutscene of them sad because we haven't visited in 3 months just a helpful idea for plot assistance
ps. if this was helpful at all i think all of us are happy to help out a good game dev tho thanks if you consider this but i think a filler of how the girls in the nexus felt will add story ideas.
Ps (again) can you try to make a story line that we can move the fey council members that we grow a bond with to move into the manor (or have a linked room that they can sleep in could be a interesting story lines) just take your time these are just ideas if you dont like them you dont have to add them but i think there good for plot and story reasons
you will not be told how you get the nexus back, but you WILL get it back in act 3, arc said he wasn't gonna tell anyone and spoil the story
(him just tryna make me more desperate to learn about the story that i wanna play so much) (nah jk lol he isn't gonna tell me bc it's the story, but i do wanna play it BADLY, i'd love to play it without spoilers)
I'm confused with something, I downloaded and have played for a bit, but now I'm on day 25 and I'm unsure how to progress, after the succubus visited me I have been stuck on what to do, just been working at the bar twice a day. Please help asap
go into the heart in the top left and click on a character for clues, if you're looking to progress the story, click the letter icon in the top left, it will give you a hint if you hover over it with your mouse.
Man!😬 Just 1Gb?? and you have a entertainment for days!!😆🔥 Damn, you are a genius Creator~nim! That's game is definitely in my Top 3 😎🤘. I'm Still around Act Two but I'm enjoying it like hell 😂👌 and from the reactions of others I can tell that the Act Three will be a Bigggg 💥💥💥💥!!!. Seriously keep up the good work!😆🤘 but don't forget to take some rest 😉👍.
Just follow Annie's questline until you get the option to buy the farm, then purchase the daycare upgrade for it :) You can see the next stage of her quest in her heart menu.
But the thing is, that after i pressed the line to by the Farm i Coupe use awaken or do nothing and after that nothing happen and the day care don't want me
You buy the farm the same way that you buy every other property - talk to Jessica in her office on weekday afternoons, ask to see the property listing, click on the property you want and then click "purchase".
If it's not showing up as purchasable then you need to talk to Annie after the event to make sure she's willing to sell.
I am not sure if this is the right place to say this, but I just got to the part where Veronica takes mc through a few classes while mc has aura up. Eventually Veronica breaks down and starts giving mc a bj. I dunno if the animation f-ed up but she looks like kirby lol.
Honestly if it takes some stress off and means any improvement to the overall quality of the game then I'd be fine with the two week updates being permanent. Love this game bro and cant wait for more content <3!!
I promised weekly updates and weekly updates you shall have! Though I will likely switch to an every-two-weeks system for the next game ;P Thanks for the kind words! I hope you enjoy what I've been working on when it (finally) releases!
It's an option on most polls, but so far it's proven to be an extremely unpopular one. If I ever did include yaoi content it'd be in the form of a free DLC that people could separately apply to their games, given its extremely polarising nature in games of this type.
20th for Patrons/Subscribers and 23rd for everyone else :) Normally I operate on a weekly update schedule, but this new system I'm working on has taken a lot of time to build up.
can someone tell me if strategy training in Act 3 has not been introduced yet or how. It's just that Jessica says when the main character will be ready to find her in the garden and talk, but there is also Molly and periodically appearing Emma, she is not
Что я вообще сделал, это всего лишь идеи, даже если они глупые, ты не должен быть таким злым по этому поводу
Кроме того, вы говорите, что вам наплевать на то, что создатель отдыхает?
Hey there! I just subbed to your patreon because, well, I heard it was similar to Harem Hero Guild, which I love as well, but that game still lacks content, which brings me to my question. How much content are you planning on putting in this game ? Are we close to the finished version, or are you still in an early phase ( noticed it's still in alpha).
Because, damn the story is so compelling, I adore Pixie and it it really consumes my time lol ( in a good way).
Just wished there would be more anal, and maybe some feet scenes, but I'm loving what we already have already.
Also, another question: You mentioned in the discord server that the 17.8 version would drop on the 6th, but I don't see any updates. Is this related to the announcement where you said you'd take another two weeks?
Final question: would it be possible to integrate a JOI system ( Jerk Off Instructor). That would add a lot of replayability and game play time.
That's all from me, and please keep bringing more content even after the main story is complete!
oh and I'm an artist( not quite pro , but I'm getting there). Should you need simple Illustrations, I'd be glad to help in any way I can
Hiya :) Welcome to CK, and thanks for your support! HHG is a great game, and the dev actually started out in my server, so that's a fun coincidence!
As to your questions:
1. There's still another year at the least, and two at the most, to go. Act Three is the final act, but there will be an epilogue afterwards (then two sequels planned!)
2. More anal is on my "to-do" list as it's a popular request. Feet stuff not so much, I'm afraid, as I already get complaints for the little that's in there :P
4. I've actually never even thought about or considered a JOI system in CK... it certainly has possibilities, but those videos usually last upwards of fifteen minutes and I'm not sure I could write out a fifteen-minute-long h-event ;)
Hope that answers all your questions, but if not, or if you need clarification, ask away!
As for a 15 minute video, I don't think you need to write such a long video. It could be smaller and more doable, with more poses, things to explore etc.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the development of this game! I'm going to miss having things to explore once it is finished, but there is so much content already that I can't really complain.
Thanks for doing this! Many content creators usually abandon such large-scale projects, so I appreciate the dedication :)
Sounds like your saves were moved but not your "persistent" file. If you move your save files around you have to include the persistent file or else you'll lose the stuff that persists between different games, such as the gallery.
As Sllobbrt says, you can use your laptop in Act Two and Act Three to unlock all the gallery scenes again :)
when you go into the tunnels you should be holding a candle and you follow the way it blows based in the text below or if you have the map you go the directions it says but make sure you read it properly cuz the compass points south i think
Golden Hearts will be unlockable during Act Three in future updates - they are the "devoted" level, and require you to have the girl up to Love 4 before you hit Act Three :)
If you didn't get a girl to Love 4 before the Act Two finale then you won't be able to get them higher in Act Three (the exceptions being Morgana, who doesn't have a love meter anyway) and Chastity (who was a Faction leader and thus unapproachable in that way).
Basically, you should have everyone except for Morgana and Chastity at Love 4 by the end of Act Two or there will be negative consequences :P

Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :) Solo devs live and die on positive reinforcement so it means a lot to hear that people are playing and enjoying CK.
Next update is out next week and it's a big one! I hope you enjoy it!
Your game is the first one I have ever played and holds a special spot for me. Thank you for all the hard work you put in, it really shows. You are the only one I see with weekly updates, and you never disappoint! I wish you good health and will be supporting you soon! Cheers mate!
Just a thought about how to get around the um problem with Emma. (Tryna avoid spoilers for those who haven't gotten that far). Maybe a swing type setup? Just a thought. And I'm super excited to see the new bits, the combat system, new characters, visiting old characters, seeing the new main story unfold, and I'm really curious about the crafting as well. Have to say, this is still the best game I've ever played of any kind on any system and I absolutely adore Arc, CK and all of the CK characters. I even feel some pity for Morgana. Sumtin bad had to have happened to make her the way she is. I still have lots of questions, thoughts, and ideas, but I'll keep them to myself for now. I am curious about the other maps (the ones for the mountains and ourskirts)... the city is split into districts, but not so with the other maps. Lol. It's okay I can wait and see. IRL I sustained an L1 compression fracture (basically broke my back) a couple of weeks ago so at this point I have lots of time (and pain) while healing. I've been getting potions and making kiddos (went back to older save). I dunno how many potions are too many or if they will be as accessible in act 3, so prepping now. Also a bit curious about how choices/bits in act 1 and especially 2 will affect act 3 or if they will. Like the hiding spot in the flat. Or the purchase of various properties (the company comes to mind). If someone didn't buy the company, the marina (no 🐠 gurlz), did or didn't find summoner and pet, etc or even didn't win over one or more council members... if that's even possible... how would it affect events later? (might make things harder I would imagine). Not expecting a spoiler filled answer or anything, just been thinking. And thinking about how to take down the bloody eldritch. Lol. Maybe I have way too much time on my hands. 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway thank you for this wonderful game and for tolerating my musings and this wall of text.
Ouch! Sorry to hear about your back, and I hope you're getting plenty of bed rest and healing well!
As for your questions:
1. Swing MIGHT work, but it depends on how high up it is.
2. There's a small hint as to what might have happened to Morgana in one of your dreams...
3. The other maps aren't split into disctricts, but they will have their own "zones" like the town does. Contested areas, areas with a special focus or something to guard or use. That kind of thing.
4. Potions will be useable in Act Three, and you'll be able to purchase ingredients for crafting (amongst other things) with them.
5. Decisions made - especially the purchasing of property and getting girls' event lines completed - will have a huge effect on Act Three. From granting or denying access to certain characters, crafting recipes, combat skills and more. Some of the girls may even turn on you...
Hope that answers your questions, and that you're feeling better! :)
Thank you so much, Arc, for your kind words and again for such an amazing game. I'm healing, albeit slowly (will probably take about 3 months) and at the moment, I'm feeling a bit like Gwen. I can stand and walk now, but only for maybe 20 to 30 minutes at a time at most and that not often yet. My fiancee and our children live in the UK and I live in the US (was going to visit for 6 months starting in the beginning of April, but thats been put on hold for now) and I've pretty much been on my own through this.

Sorry for another wall of text. 😔
Sorry to hear about your back. I went through something similar a few years back, but mine wasn't a compression fracture. L4 and L5 were broken when I was assaulted and I landed on a rock. It gets better after a while, but it's going to hurt like hell while it heals up. Hopefully you have good doctors and you make a full recovery with no lingering after effects.

I'm sorry that you've had to go through what I am now. In my case I slipped on some ice on the way to work. Thank you for your kind wishes. I have to say, no I really don't have good doctors tbh. Got an xray, a toridol (basically ibupofen) injection, 2 cold packs and 2 heat packs and sent home. Hopefully I can still work when I get out. Generally I do inventory at a warehouse, lots of bending, sitting, standing, walking, etc.
Wow, that's some crazy unfortunate timing - I'm sure your fiancée and kids were very sad to hear you wouldn't be able to join them as planned. Hopefully your back heals quickly and you don't have to put the visit off for too long!
So, for the questions:
1. A swing might work, but knowing Gwen she'd get too excited and overly-enthusiastic and make herself worse...
2. Girls at Love 4 won't turn, but anyone below that once you hit Act Three has a chance to. Some will fight for your enemies and others will simply "nope" outta town.
3. Always possible that one of the Boss Girls will turn out to be a short, ginger girl. There's 40-something districts in the first map alone, after all! :P
From the description, your fiancée sounds Scottish. I was actually born there, and most of my family still lives there. So maybe they know her ;)
I've had no rest, no breaks and no weekends for the last four weeks as I've worked on this next update but I'll be taking a week off at the end of the month to recover a little, haha.
Fingers crossed for your quick recovery and that you don't have to postpone your trip too long!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt, kind message, Arc, it means more to me than you can know. Due to the long healing and having to be off work for much of the 3 months or so, I honestly don't know how long it will be before I can see my fiancee and our girls again and I probably won't be able to hold our girls even then, which is a bit depressing to say the least and my fiancee and our babies were absolutely devastated to hear of the injury and such a massive setback. My fiancee has tried to put a brave face on it, but the worry and disappointment have really taken their toll on her.
Lol you're very right, my fiancee lives in NE UK but has lots of relatives in Scotland and her accent is a mix of Scottish and Geordie (the accent around the Newcastle upon tyne area). She's absolutely delightful and I could and often do listen to her talk for hours. Lol maybe your family do indeed know her. I haven't been to Scotland yet but we're very close to the border. I absolutely love life in the NE UK and can hardly wait to go home. And I'm very, very glad that you're planning some time off to finally rest. I know you've been working hard on CK and I'm beyond grateful as are all of your adoring fans in our CK family, but it's important to get plenty of rest and some Arc time too.
Thank you for answering my questions again, I just have two more, one is actually more of an observation though, really.
The only main girls I have without full hearts are Chastity, Morgana and Lyx, all of which I know come later (in more ways than one?). Though I think the real personality of Chloe might wanna stab the MC in the neck. Repeatedly. Lol. But is there a possibility of side girls (Jessica's friends, Molly, etc) turning? Doesn't seem likely, just curious.
And my adoration of you has just gone up 1000%, it sounds like due to the combat system, crafting, and the effect of choices, it sounds like CK will have a HUGE replay value, the game changing if we go back and make different choices. CK, in my humble opinion, is truly the best of the best games but this will truly seal the deal, putting it in a league of its very own.
Much love Arc, and thank you again for absolutely everything and for being the most amazing, caring and diligent dev ever. Idk how many others would care enough to message their fans and I know we all truly appreciate it.
Again sorry for another huge wall of text. I keep doing that. Sorry, Arc.
I mean every word, and I shall keep my fingers crossed for your speedy recovery! They're dong amazing things with physical therapy these days :)
As to your question (I could only see one?), there is a possibility that side girls will turn on you if you haven't fully interacted with them in Act Two, but it will be rare - most often they'll just disappear when the war kicks off. In those cases there will be small amounts of lore you can find, indicating what happened to them.
I'm hoping that the new systems give players a lot to engage with, without feeling grindy or forced. CK is my first game, and so it's very much an experiment in seeing what works and what doesn't. I hope you enjoy the new stuff, though!
And seriously - get well soon! :)
Хочу с русский язык когда перевод и долго займёт перевод игры на русский
What do you do right after Morgana gives you magic field?
dont use it yet
Well what do you do then?
wait for the time when your cornered
when will the combat update launch btw take your time with it i just need an estimate to calm my nerves because this is the only good h game with plot
Arcadean said he'll take 2 weeks to fully finish it, 1 week already passed so we have 1 week to go i guess
and if you don't have good plot games to play, try out Eternum or Hero's Harem Guild. Shit is crazy good
I haven't tried Eternum but I did play Once in a Lifetime which was quite good. The choice system was a bit crazy though, had long term effects. And Heros Harem Guild kept crashing on my poor Android 11 phone. So I cleared all other games and kept the only important one, the best one, CK. Lol.
The combat update will go live to all Patreon and Subscribestar supporters on the 20th of this month. Everyone else will get it on the 23rd :)
Thanks for your patience!
anyone know what style/kind of game this is
It's an adult sandbox visual novel with a focus on story and characters :)
Hey with the kids I know there is an event where you do some with both the mother and kid but i can’t figure out what the event for Jessica and your daughter
Visit Jessica's office on Monday morning :)
ok thanks
hey i got some ideas for the game where do i post them
in discord or here
im stuck on the think backwards part can anyone help
Type "think backwards" or "sdrawkcab kniht" or "kniht". Uppercase or lowercase, doesn't matter :)
For future reference, when dealing with Nexus keys, anything that's written in the lead/hint/whatever in orange is what you have to type.
oh ok thanks
A question for everyone, wich one is your favourite character
Well "everyone" includes me, so... it depends on my mood and the event, honestly, but my favourite scenes to write are the silly, wholesome ones. So my favourite characters are most often Pixie, Gramps and Alice.
I really enjoy writing them all, though. Even Morgana. Sometimes it's cathartic to just be a real birch ;)
My favourite character has to be nyx. She's such a shithead it's hilarious.
I do love all of the CK characters, I even feel bad for Morgana and lots of the girls are super cute (Ami, Hana, Pixie, Annie, Jessica and the Artifact all come to mind... gotta love those huge eyes on all of them, Dhena as well despite her being a nasty pasty) and Ard has grown on me as well. But my #1 favorite character has to be Gramps. I always get a laugh out of him and he seems to be the most knowledgeable, wisest and toughest character in CK.
great game as usual but i have a little problem i can't complete the lern how to fight mission
If you check your lead, you'll notice that it says "No more content in this version" at the bottom :)
thanks for the reply i really didn't notice that haha
İ am currebtly at chapter 3 i have done everything i can in chapter 2 (at leadt i hope) but what happens if in an update there is something New added to chapter 2? Will i have to go bacak to my chapter 2 save?
I won't be adding anything important to Act Two (or One) until the game hits beta and I begin the QoL and polishing phase.
I don't want to force people to replay old content, which is why work very hard to make sure all versions work with all older save files and saves are never wiped - even though occasional wipes would make my life a lot easier! ;P
will we have another way to save Amy?:(
You mean from what happens to her at during the Act 2-3 time jump? Unfortunately no, sorry. But she wears it like a badge of honour - and who knows? Magic's a thing, so maybe MC can find a way to fix it :)
Your game is fenomenal. I hole you keep it up for nes Players
Thank you! I appreciate it, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
i have a question,
what are all the characters you can keep in the east wing? right now i only have like 5,
hana and ard
ami
and all of jessicas friends.
That's all of them for right now, except for Emma and Molly who can also move in :)
More will be able to move in later.

From the looks of things, the "Time" variable is getting messed up and outputting a weird string:
Instead of "morning", "afternoon" or "evening".
The only ways I know of that the variable could be getting messed up is if the game was extracted badly (files copied into old folders or folder structure messed with), you're running a translated version and the translator goofed, or if you or someone with access to your device has been editing variables manually.
Unfortunately, I can only make two recommendations:
1. Download the entire update file again and extract to a brand-new folder (don't move your saves, the game will do it for you).
or
2. Try loading your autosaves and see if any of them work (you can find them by clicking the "A" at the bottom of the load screen, just to the left of the page numbers).
Sorry I can't be more help!
Yes, I played a translated version, Its not a bug, Thanks for your suggestion!
Is there any plans to add Russian language?
Yes, once the game hits beta I will begin to hire translators for multiple languages, including Russian :)
hey arc how big are you planing arc 3 to be content wise
It should have roughly the same amount of content as Act Two, but more streamlined - pretty much everything will tie into the main story in some way.
Depending on how engaged players become with the combat, conquer and crafting systems it may actually be much longer than Act Two :P
cool looking forward to it bud
How i want to know how to get the feys into the manor. And idea?
do quests talk to the npcs to sum it up
The only Fey that can move into the Manor right now are Ami, Ard & Hana, and Emma. You can get all of them by following the "FEY" lead (in the envelope icon, top-right of the screen) :)
I don't know why I have no way to transfer my saves to the new version, it always says:"File not found:open failed:EACCES"
I play the Android version
Just to be sure, you're getting your saves from:
Android/data/com.domain.corruptedkingdoms/saves
Correct?
If you're running Android 11+ then Google has hidden your data folder. To access it you need to connect your phone to your PC with a USB cable or use an app like Solid Explorer or X-Plore to give you access to the folder again.
Also, you don't need to manually transfer saves around, regardless of your device or OS. The game will do it for you :)
in my honest opinion, arc is a 15/10 developer, anyone agree?
(oh and idk if u have one yet but u should make a discord, it'd be fun to talk to other enjoyers about the story)
Aww, thank you! That means a lot to hear :)
And I do have a Discord server! It's linked at the top of this page, but just for ease of use I'll copy it here:
https://discord.gg/bSBeR2X
See you there!
any cheats?
yea in the act 2 laptop
just a quick question are we able to see luna and the other girls in the nexus in the next update or will that come after the combat system update and if possible try to make a cutscene of them sad because we haven't visited in 3 months just a helpful idea for plot assistance
ps. if this was helpful at all i think all of us are happy to help out a good game dev tho thanks if you consider this but i think a filler of how the girls in the nexus felt will add story ideas.
Ps (again) can you try to make a story line that we can move the fey council members that we grow a bond with to move into the manor (or have a linked room that they can sleep in could be a interesting story lines) just take your time these are just ideas if you dont like them you dont have to add them but i think there good for plot and story reasons
you will not be told how you get the nexus back, but you WILL get it back in act 3, arc said he wasn't gonna tell anyone and spoil the story
(him just tryna make me more desperate to learn about the story that i wanna play so much) (nah jk lol he isn't gonna tell me bc it's the story, but i do wanna play it BADLY, i'd love to play it without spoilers)
thanks bro
I'm confused with something, I downloaded and have played for a bit, but now I'm on day 25 and I'm unsure how to progress, after the succubus visited me I have been stuck on what to do, just been working at the bar twice a day. Please help asap
I'm unsure how to get to act 2 and can't find any way to advance.
I love this game a lot and want to be able to progress in the story.
Try talking to the old man. Although I'm not so sure that'll work
where is the old man, already spoke to him through the phone once?
Train station
go into the heart in the top left and click on a character for clues, if you're looking to progress the story, click the letter icon in the top left, it will give you a hint if you hover over it with your mouse.
This game is awesome take literally all the time you need to make it, totally worth it ;
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :)
Man!😬 Just 1Gb?? and you have a entertainment for days!!😆🔥 Damn, you are a genius Creator~nim! That's game is definitely in my Top 3 😎🤘. I'm Still around Act Two but I'm enjoying it like hell 😂👌 and from the reactions of others I can tell that the Act Three will be a Bigggg 💥💥💥💥!!!. Seriously keep up the good work!😆🤘 but don't forget to take some rest 😉👍.
Hey, thanks for the kind words - and the explosive emojis! ;) I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you continue to enjoy what's coming up!
How can i get the Farm and the day care? I want to interact Better with the Kids and want to now, what happen
Just follow Annie's questline until you get the option to buy the farm, then purchase the daycare upgrade for it :) You can see the next stage of her quest in her heart menu.
But the thing is, that after i pressed the line to by the Farm i Coupe use awaken or do nothing and after that nothing happen and the day care don't want me
You buy the farm the same way that you buy every other property - talk to Jessica in her office on weekday afternoons, ask to see the property listing, click on the property you want and then click "purchase".
If it's not showing up as purchasable then you need to talk to Annie after the event to make sure she's willing to sell.
Thanks
I am not sure if this is the right place to say this, but I just got to the part where Veronica takes mc through a few classes while mc has aura up. Eventually Veronica breaks down and starts giving mc a bj. I dunno if the animation f-ed up but she looks like kirby lol.
Honestly if it takes some stress off and means any improvement to the overall quality of the game then I'd be fine with the two week updates being permanent. Love this game bro and cant wait for more content <3!!
I promised weekly updates and weekly updates you shall have! Though I will likely switch to an every-two-weeks system for the next game ;P Thanks for the kind words! I hope you enjoy what I've been working on when it (finally) releases!
I'm pretty sure that at least one other person has asked this before but, do you have any intentions or plans to add yaoi content into the game?
It's an option on most polls, but so far it's proven to be an extremely unpopular one. If I ever did include yaoi content it'd be in the form of a free DLC that people could separately apply to their games, given its extremely polarising nature in games of this type.
when is the next update
20th for Patrons/Subscribers and 23rd for everyone else :) Normally I operate on a weekly update schedule, but this new system I'm working on has taken a lot of time to build up.
Details can be found in the latest devlog:
https://thearcadean.itch.io/corrupted-kingdoms/devlog/486820/the-people-have-spo...
can someone tell me if strategy training in Act 3 has not been introduced yet or how. It's just that Jessica says when the main character will be ready to find her in the garden and talk, but there is also Molly and periodically appearing Emma, she is not
If you check the lead, it will say "No more content in this version" at the bottom :)
Плохая идея
Да ни фига
Почему нет просто глупые идеи ты написала для дополнения игры
Hey there! I just subbed to your patreon because, well, I heard it was similar to Harem Hero Guild, which I love as well, but that game still lacks content, which brings me to my question. How much content are you planning on putting in this game ? Are we close to the finished version, or are you still in an early phase ( noticed it's still in alpha).
Because, damn the story is so compelling, I adore Pixie and it it really consumes my time lol ( in a good way).
Just wished there would be more anal, and maybe some feet scenes, but I'm loving what we already have already.
Also, another question: You mentioned in the discord server that the 17.8 version would drop on the 6th, but I don't see any updates. Is this related to the announcement where you said you'd take another two weeks?
Final question: would it be possible to integrate a JOI system ( Jerk Off Instructor). That would add a lot of replayability and game play time.
That's all from me, and please keep bringing more content even after the main story is complete!
oh and I'm an artist( not quite pro , but I'm getting there). Should you need simple Illustrations, I'd be glad to help in any way I can
Hiya :) Welcome to CK, and thanks for your support! HHG is a great game, and the dev actually started out in my server, so that's a fun coincidence!
As to your questions:
1. There's still another year at the least, and two at the most, to go. Act Three is the final act, but there will be an epilogue afterwards (then two sequels planned!)
2. More anal is on my "to-do" list as it's a popular request. Feet stuff not so much, I'm afraid, as I already get complaints for the little that's in there :P
3. Yes, the next version will drop in two weeks, as detailed in the latest devlog ( https://thearcadean.itch.io/corrupted-kingdoms/devlog/486820/the-people-have-spo... ). The new systems proved to be a lot more involved than initially planned!
4. I've actually never even thought about or considered a JOI system in CK... it certainly has possibilities, but those videos usually last upwards of fifteen minutes and I'm not sure I could write out a fifteen-minute-long h-event ;)
Hope that answers all your questions, but if not, or if you need clarification, ask away!
Oh wow, two sequels? That's really promising!
As for a 15 minute video, I don't think you need to write such a long video. It could be smaller and more doable, with more poses, things to explore etc.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the development of this game! I'm going to miss having things to explore once it is finished, but there is so much content already that I can't really complain.
Thanks for doing this! Many content creators usually abandon such large-scale projects, so I appreciate the dedication :)
Is there an eta for ghe next part
Check out the latest devlog, linked above :)
https://thearcadean.itch.io/corrupted-kingdoms/devlog/486820/the-people-have-spo...
Okay ive been wondering this ever since i got to that part of the story.
The fuck would happen if mc was balls deep in Hana and she shifted to ard?
Pain
Docking
So when I loaded an older file to the new version all unlocked galley scenes are gone, is there a way to fix it or just play through it again
Computer lets you unlock gallery
Sounds like your saves were moved but not your "persistent" file. If you move your save files around you have to include the persistent file or else you'll lose the stuff that persists between different games, such as the gallery.
As Sllobbrt says, you can use your laptop in Act Two and Act Three to unlock all the gallery scenes again :)
How do i get through luna's tunnels to get the object
when you go into the tunnels you should be holding a candle and you follow the way it blows based in the text below or if you have the map you go the directions it says but make sure you read it properly cuz the compass points south i think
Luna gives you directions. If you forget them, just talk to her again or check her "HINT" in the heart menu :)
is there a lighter version of 17.7 for android? I need it, my game is closing out of nowhere. if anyone helps, thank you in advance
I'm afraid not - I already compress everything (audio, images, movies) down to the smallest possible filesize :(
What's with the golden hearts? How / when can I unlock them
Golden Hearts will be unlockable during Act Three in future updates - they are the "devoted" level, and require you to have the girl up to Love 4 before you hit Act Three :)
Will I be able to get the golden hearts on the girls that aren't at love 4 yet in the future or did I mess up should I start over?
If you didn't get a girl to Love 4 before the Act Two finale then you won't be able to get them higher in Act Three (the exceptions being Morgana, who doesn't have a love meter anyway) and Chastity (who was a Faction leader and thus unapproachable in that way).
Basically, you should have everyone except for Morgana and Chastity at Love 4 by the end of Act Two or there will be negative consequences :P
