Honestly i was very sceptic at first, but it was awesome!
But i will have to use pre-act 3 saves to see what will happens with LOMEG after update, right?

I wonder what happened to fish girls in act 3

Lyx is the best girl!

(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)  LOMEG will be making another appearance in Act Three, so no need to return to Act Two to experience all that sweet, sweet cardboard mech action ;)

Fish Girls appear to be trapped on the other side of the tunnel... oh no!

Lyx asked me to thank you on her behalf and hand you this gift. Don't worry about the ticking sound, I'm sure it's fine.

(+1)

bro, i must say the game is very good an' all but can you please make quest hints, more to the point in act 3. i was playin through it and had to talk to Emma to progress further but on the quest tab it continued showing "conquer all the town districts". had to spend way longer than i would've liked to figure this out.

(i know i am dumb to not have been able to find such an obvious thing, but would really appreciate if you understand my concern, believe me there are many others like me out there that will be stuck at points like these)

but all this aside 9/10 game for me.....

kudos

(+1)

I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)

I will be working LEADS (the quest hint system from Act One and Two) back into Act Three starting from the next update onwards. Hopefully that will help out!

Would the overall speed of the finished product come out sooner without weekly releases and by how much would you think?

Ultimately a pointless question as food, water and home is a daily necessity paid monthly but I do wanna know if and how much the weekly release system delays the final product regardless of how unviable a non-tested full release is.

well i think in both cases the speed of development would remain  almost the same, might even be a little faster for weekly updates due to constant pressure to meet deadlines.....

but as they say "there's a downside to every good thing"

the weekly updates may lead to a rather rushed game with the creator not being able to bring out all his imagination and is bound by the constrains of time....

(the above statement is true for almost all games but i'll rather make an exception for this game as Archadian has done a great job of cooping with the stress and developing the game to its full extent.)

(IN SHORT WEEKLY UPDATES ARE BETTER IN CASE OF THIS GAME)

hope u got ur answer, kudos

Thanks for the awesome reply! I almost wish I didn't hop on 15 minutes after arcadian's so I could appreciate this one lmao.
I guess the difference really is studio size, when theres more variables and perspectives better to sort those out before sending out test products.

lolpokemon is pretty much correct :)

I'm a solo dev, so there's a limit to how much I can do in any given amount of time, and aside from the actual game creation I also have to monitor and maintain the Discord server, handle tech support questions, marketing, cross-promotions with other creators, keep my skills up to date, answer messages, host livestreams and - finally - scratch out a few hours for myself here and there so I don't burn out.

These things remain constant no matter my update schedule, and take up a significant amount of time. As for the work on the game itself, it's a balancing act:

Shorter gaps between updates keeps me on my toes as I can't slack off even a little bit, ensuring that I work to my fullest every day. However, it has the side effect that larger events (100+ images) are incredibly difficult to do, and aggravate the nerve damage in my arm.

Longer gaps between updates, on the other hand, allow me to create larger and fuller updates (because I can space the 100+ renders out over multiple days) but have the downside that without a looming deadline it becomes a lot easier to put things off.

Either way, the game should be in beta in a year and completely finished within two. I hope :)

Damn, Gamedev rough.

I should really give slack to the other games I don't see as quite the same quality on this site :/ not that I attack anyone but I must underestimate the work put in a lot.

If you want some extra time for yourself or work I wouldn't mind helping out with some mundane tasks if you have a position anywhere, i'm used to moderating chatrooms and forum discussions but regardless I digress &  thanks for all the hard work!
I would also like to ask if you have anywhere you'd recommend for someone to start in this niche industry of a niche industry as you really seem to have it all together but I don't wanna take advantage of how attentive you are to your comments so no pressure or anything.Cheers!

(+1)

Hey, sorry for not replying! It's very easy for messages to get buried on Itch so I tend to miss anything too far down. A more reliable way to get in touch with me is on Discord :)

As for recommendations on where to start, I'm not sure if I'm the best person to ask as I'm entirely self-taught and my method was to download a bunch of free SDK (software development kits, for example Ren'py, Unreal Engine, Godot, etc.) and spend a few days playing around with each one, and going on YouTube for tutorials.

Once I found one that I liked and I thought I could make a game with (in this case Ren'py) I made a couple little prototypes to familiarize myself with the systems I'd need to make CK.

That done, I jumped into making CK. I expected to only have a dozen players, which would have given me a lot of leeway to experiment and make mistakes, but, well, it didn't really work out that way... :P

Anyway, that's an extremely truncated version of my method. If you'd like to know more about it, send me a DM on Discord or catch one of my livestreams - I'm always happy to go into my process in realtime when asked :)

Still love this game but honestly I'm going to wait until its done that way I can binge the whole story

It might be for the best, in terms of getting to enjoy the story without having to get it bit by bit.

Still a long wait.

And even then, once the main story is finished Arc is going to polish the early game, so you might find it worthwhile to wait even more.

Up to you, as tech support, I need to stay up to date.

(+1)

it honestly is worth the wait for a good quality game like this especially when I go crazy everytime there's a cliffhanger

Is Lucille in the manor in act 3? I don't see her room. She was in the manor and helping at office before coma.

(+1)

Yeah, she is in the manor but her room wasn’t implemented.

It’s weird, in early act 3 the idea was to show people around the manor, so she’s in the east hallway during Mondays mornings and in the afternoon she takes a bath.

It’s one of those things that needs fixing but it’s not high on the list.

Either that or Arc forgets.

(+1)

It's the "not high on the list" thing :P My priority is the more popular characters, plus story beats, so right now so she's on the "to add when I have some extra time" list, and I just haven't had any extra time recently.

I appreciate the responses. Just making sure I didn't overlook or glitch something. Keep up the amazing work.

Gwen's damaged quirk: Have yandere mode turned on for a bit (Got it in ACT 2, trying to find side girls before going to the church to find the gem, like... when you sleep in the evening, her cutscene wil play.)

Chloe's quirks: Personality switch (Default - Slave for Original. Bimbo - Bimbo for the bimbo quirk, yeah, that's about it.)

Annie's lactating quirk: In act 2, finish all of  Annie's missions and find her in the barn house (The barnhouse has to be bought in Jessica's office.) at afternoon (Or maybe during one of her missions, It's been a while since I've done any of annie's missions.)

Jessica's quirks - Awaken Jessica and agree to have yourself call her auntie for the auntie quirk. Buy the dungeon and (during halloween) get spooked by Jessica and Gwen to get the adultress quirk (Must pick Jessica and fuck her.)
Luna's quirk: Finish all of Luna's mission, go for a walk with her and humilate via forcing her to wear farmer clothing (commoner clothes.)

Pixie's quirks: Buy a school clothes for dolls and school her in the college to get the schooled quirk. Finish all of both pixie and lyx's missions to have lyx give you the ability to enlarge Pixie, that way you can have 2 options: Fuck her in her medium sized body (I think.. like.. big doll size?) or fuck her in her large sized body (Basically, she's a short girl.)

Qarinah's quirk: Finish all of her missions and sleep until you get the beast dream. She will appear at the last message and confront the beast in your dream with her clones, to which she will forever scare away the beast from harassing your dreams, and give you the dreamgirl quirk.

There is a good chance I might be wrong on majority or all of them as it has been a while, but those are the tips to getting their quirks.

(1 edit) (+1)

That’s a good effort to get them, shame this post will get buried in a couple of updates.

Main reason we use the discord, we can pin posts.


Some additions/corrections:

Gwen’s YANDERE needs for you to spend around 30 ingame days without interacting with her.

I believe Chloe doesn’t get BIMBO until you progress the main story, up until she gets a second roommate.

Jessica’s ADULTRESS has nothing to do with the dungeon, and everything to do with her level 4 love event. If you know what adultress means the choice is evident.

Hey Arc, I have a complaint. You've spoiled me too much! Currently, I'm waiting for the updates to accumulate, and I've been playing other games that aren't as good as this one. I went in thinking that every game had the care like you put into this one, and well, I was very wrong. Most only focus on the lewd aspect and don't even care about the story. It's been a month, and I really think I won't find a game like this ever. So keep up the good work! Man, if only I were a millionaire, I could afford to give you a proper studio to work

Haha, thank you for the glowing praise! There are loads of games out there that are much better than mine, though (this is my first attempt at making a full game) so keep trying and you'll find some real gems ;)

That being said, I hope you stick around and continue to enjoy everything that I have planned for the future of CK (and its sequels)!

Hey another game that you could play while waiting for this masterpiece to upload is called Goddesses Whim.

It's another thing with an absolutely amazing story but it is a lot more centralized on the lewd aspect.

It also has a fantasy setting except in a more medieval isakai manner

When I try to install the game on Android, it keeps putting "App not installed". Is there a solution to this?

Sorry if this has already been answered.

(+2)

It has been asked, answered.

But it’s not always the same answer.

For once, check if you have enough free space on your device. Android gets fussy if it doesn’t have enough free space.

If that fails, I’d recommend downloding Split APK Installer (SAI), and using that program to install the game.

For some people, that alone made the install work, but if it doesn’t, at least it will give you a more useful error message.

Just did what you said and it worked! Thanks!

When this game will be end ?

(+2)

At least one or two years.

Emphasis on “at least”.

Because it doesn’t feel like act 3 is past the halfway point.

And once act 3 ends then there will be an epilogue and also Arc will spend some time polishing the earlier parts of the game.

I wanted to see the end 😔 

i think its good to ask when a new version comes out how do i update without losing my save file

(+1)

Unless Arc is on a break (he was during holidays) the updates are every two weeks.

So 0.20.7 should be dropping on Monday, the 15th.


As for updating.

If you’re on android, download the APK for the new version and install it as an update. DO NOT uninstall, that’s how you lose your saves.

On computers it’s easier, just download the new version and launch, if your saves are there, you’re free to delete the old version.

who is this?

(+2)

This was going to be Kana before someone commissioned the current Kana (back in the days when you could commission in-game characters from me).

She may make a reappearance in an altered form later on, if and when I introduce the rest of Kana's clan :)

Who else waiting for a nsfw scene with the person frozen in the cave

yes

(+1)

Dhena :) And that will certainly be a possibility!

(1 edit)

pls 🔥 also waiting for a naughty scene with Claire, will that ever happen? Love the game though, it's amazing!

(+1)

It will happen, but don’t expect that it’ll be quick and easy.

Claire is a more relevant than your average side girl. You’ll need to get her to like you a bit more.

(+1)

What Chris said :)

I'm stuck somewhere in act 3 I don't know if its that theres no more content because I doubt that from reading the other comments. I also don't know how to continue (maybe I have to find lyx but I cant find her)

Claire just came into the manor 

(1 edit) (+2)

Sorry, but "stuck somewhere" isn't hugely helpful - I don't know how to advise you if I don't know exactly where you are in the game and what you're stuck on advancing. Most of the storylines progress independently from one another - Claire, for example, can move in before or after you get access to the entire Outskirts.

Lyx isn't available yet, though. She'll be returning in v0.20.8 :)

wait for the future update bro.

Deleted 275 days ago

The more I progress with act 3, the more interesting I feel but at the same time the feeling of emptiness due to the lack of side girls (very miss the fish girls), so I will happily hunt the Chief, Morgana, and the Beast. Btw, I wonder who the Captain is and if she's close to or as strong as Mistis?

(+3)

Act Two took around three years to put together, so Act Three is going to feel slightly (or very) empty by comparison for a while. But I'm working hard to both push the storyline along and also flesh out the Act Three map to make it feel more alive and varied :)

(+2)

i love the writing. the poems, the lessons, everything. i can tell alot of thought goes through the production of the game.

(+1)

Aww, thank you! That really does mean a lot to me, and I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)

(+1)

this game never cease to amaze me, keep up the good work and happy new year 


(i know its late)

Happy New Year to you too! :) I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you continue to be pleased (and also hopefully amazed!) by what I have planned for the future!

(+2)

I absolutely love the writer.. Finally a game where the MC is not a weak, idiotic, dumb, crybaby. Chefs Kiss. Oh but can we get a pixie shut up command lol

(+1)

Aww, thanks, I love you too ;P

And hey, listen. Pixie does her best. She's trying!

What error are you getting?

why does the game crash in the Android version every time I start it? Is there a way to fix it?

It could be that you need to power down your device (drivers may be corrupted), or it could be that you need to update your OS/drivers (you should always do this anyway) or it could be that you don't have enough storage space.

Alternatively it could be that your particular combination of OS and hardware is incompatible with Ren'py, which unfortunately does happen sometimes. That's an SDK issue, however, and I have no control over it so I can't be of any help in that instance. Sorry!

I have a potential item idea for ya, for those of us who like the preggo stuff. An item you could use to pause pregnancies. Possibly a toggle. Sold by the junk salesperson. Could look like one of those egg timers or a fertility idol.

(+2)

You can already do that… sort of.

If you turn off the pregnancy content in settings it will freeze it instead of removing it.

So girls that are already pregnant will remain pregnant until you turn it back on and let the pregnancy continue.

cool ty

Need help on Android. Potential Act 2 spoilers.

I have brought Jessica down to Tom to get the code, but I cannot seem to progress the organization arc further. I have pushed the cult arc as far as it will allow me (met Lilith).

Side question, can you do anything other than spanking Gwen and Jessica in the dungeon?

(+1)

Right, you got Jessica to 4 hearts to continue that story?

If you did and you got the code from Tom, the lead should say to visit Jessica’s room in the morning.

Dunno if it’s exactly that you’re stuck on.

And all the leads eventually converge in one place, you’ll notice when it happens, that means you need to finish the others.


Dungeon is on content limbo. Arc’s almost considering removing it. Can’t be bothered to explain right now.

Deleted 168 days ago

Aww, thank you! I'm really glad that you're enjoying it, and I hope you stick around and continue to enjoy everything else I have planned for the future! :)

is there anymore morgana content? Only scene of her is when she does things to her and I don’t seem to find anything more

(+1)

No, we’re kinda far from controlling her, as she’s kind of the final boss of the fey faction.

And any sexual content with her would’ve been femdom, which is both unpopular with this game’s audience and also doesn’t make sense in this game since it’s mostly maledom.

I don't get the quirks thing.. does it effect something in the game?

and shouldn't there be some sort of hint on how to unlock them

(+1)

It doesn’t affect much. They’re just milestones if anything.

And no, game won’t hold your hand at every single step of the way. That’s really boring and annoying from a game developer’s standpoint.

Feel free to ask if you can’t figure it out on your own, interact with the community.

(+1)

Is there anything to do at college after lvl5 authority and 'best of the country' education? I can't find a way to progress with the quiet girl.

(+1)

Nah, reaching auth 5 is kinda the end of it.

And she doesn’t have content in act 2. She will have it in act 3, but it hasn’t happened yet.

how do i unlock the club?

(+1)

It’s an upgrade to the bar, after you buy it from Lily.

Upgrades are in the same properties page in Jessica’s office.

How do you unlock the 4th scene on the game page? I think it's the scene from the apartments but they're always on fire.

(+1)

It is the apartments. But you need to progress with Roxy before you can make it become the no-longer-burning building.

Says I've reached end of the path for current version and the apartments are still burning. I just found another fire elemental child in there my second time going to the apt.

.... lol...

(+1)

I… How?

Did you edit your saves or download someone else’s save?

Because getting the small fire elemental out of there is part of Roxy’s story.

After getting it out, you can go back to it and there’s a bit more content, unrelated to Roxy.

Yeah I did complete Roxy's events. And when I went back to the apartments they were still on fire and encountered another fire baby if memory serves. And no I did not alter or use someone else's saves. Right now I'm waiting on the next update since I can't get past the bridge.

(+1)

At this point I’d encourage you to join the discord so I can take a look at your save.

Because if you’re not lying, you found a really weird edge case.

The apartment won’t be on fire after you take out the fire elemental child, and you can’t finish Roxy’s story without doing that.


And we won’t be going past the bridge any time soon, it seems like Arc is going to cover the outskirts first.

Who knows if we’ll get to Morgana before crossing the river.

Is there a way to pass progress between game versions? I just saw this update and i dont want to lose my saves.

(+1)

Saves should transfer automatically.

On android just make sure you don’t uninstall.

On computer, download the new version and launch it to make sure your saves migrated, then delete the old one.

How can I progress in Madison and Veronica event? Any hint?  So far only had the tour scene around the college.

(+1)

What do their cards say?

In the heart icon.

Or rather, where you left off last time?

What do I do after Chloe fights the Bimbo?

(+1)

You need to follow the ORG story lead, as you were doing before.

That doesn't help me cause I dunno what the lead was...

(+1)

It doesn’t matter what it said before, it matters what it says now.

Chloe fighting the bimbo is part of the ORG lead.

But if I had to guess, you probably need to talk to Lyx about it.

(1 edit)

I might be completely stupid or what not, and I'm getting hints I could, but do I... get the three housewives to sell their house for me to invite them to jessica's manor? It's a stupid question but for some odd reason, I'm feeling like I'm missing a few side characters
(Note: This game has been overall a fun and actually enjoyable experience for me. Sure, I downloaded this game for porn, but I continued playing and trying out different choices because of it's humor and the fact that both the grandpa is muscles kind of guy, and that a chicken with glasses is named the fucking "Johnny Cock" LMAO)

(+1)

The house milfs appear again. You need to finish their second event to invite them to the manor.

And you invite them to the manor by talking to Jessica in the kitchen during the morning, provided you repaired the east wing of the manor.

If you can’t find their second event.

Laura She appears in the manor's living room, she came to visit Jessica.
Renee When you go to Jessica's office she'll tell you Renee was calling about you.
Lucille She likes to shop at night, check if you bump into her there.

Alright, thanks Chris

I wondered the same but already completed all content available in current version but Lucille's room seems to be missing. I randomly encountered her in the manor but no options except to chat.

I have this strange feeling you definitely didn't finish all content currently available if you are missing some of this sfuff :o

You may have progressed before properly doing some stuff which cut them off because you can't go back n do stuff after certain points and events.

Is this a bug? Or am I just stupid?

The game cannot load my old save file for some reason. The error says permission error or something, which is strange because the game can create and new save files but it can't load my old save files.

I just wanted to know if this is intentional or not.

(+1)

Well, that’s the thing.

A permission error would be a problem with your device, that for some reason isn’t allowing you to READ files but allows you to WRITE them.

I don’t know if you’re on Windows, Linux or Mac. But it might be that the game can’t access the secondary save location.


WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON PC?

  • PC > Local Disk (usually C:) > Users > USERNAME > AppData > Roaming > RenPy > CorruptedKingdoms-1547378918

WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON MAC?

  • ~/Library/RenPy/CorruptedKingdoms

WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON LINUX?

  • ~/. renpy/CorruptedKingdoms/

I’d say, check the permissions for those folders.

I'm on Android lol. The file is in android/data/com.domain.corruptedkingdoms.

The game can write a save file and read it no problem. But it somehow cannot read my old save files. Any ideas on why that is?

(+1)

That’s even worse.

I’ve no idea why Android would get fussy over that.

I mean, it’s trying to write to it’s own private folder.

I’d say check in the app settings, give it permission to manage files.

But I don’t know if that would really fix anything…

RenPy and Android don’t get along well.

This is very confusing. How can it be a permission error when the game can read and write files without any problems.

It has no problem reading a save file that the game created but it doesn't do that for the old save files. I think it's either a version compatibility issue or just android being buggy.

So, unsure if you figured out the issue, but in some cases when you go to update a renpy game in mobile it can have some weird errors take place. My best example from experience is when I downloaded an update for a different game that refused to update the game, then the next update just installed a completely new game file (basically duplicating the game files with a new one) and the new one couldn't grab the save of the old file. Had to just start over entirely as well, because the save files were incompatible. 

I bring up this example not as a "this is how you fix it" but a "I hope it isn't this bad for you" example of how fucky these games can be on Android ._.

Also, my old save files doesn't seem to have a "thumbnail?" Or whatever the picture that appears on the save slot.

It quite obvious that it can't seem to read my old save files, which I don't know if it's a compatibility issue? I could only guess cuz I am no game dev lol

what do i need to do to get the nexus at home?

(+2)

You need to progress with the main story.

Specifically the Eldritch leads.


If you somehow don’t have leads, check if you missed one of these steps:

  • Note in the manor’s garden.
  • Visit Gramps in the mountains.
  • Do the 4 levels of martial training.
  • Find the pigeon in the lake (check 3 times).
  • Talk with Gramps again and now you should have the main story leads.

was planning to do the eldrich in the end. thanks.

Can we? No.

Will we? Maybe…


Arguably, no one deserves to have bad things happen to them.

But that’s life for you. Robin - that is, the protagonist - needed a wake up call. Gwen too, but guess she got the short end of the stick this time.

From the way it’s painted tho, the injury isn’t meant to be healed. At least not any time soon.

But Arc is a bit of a softie sometimes, so it will probably happen. Specially if you take into account that we’re supposed to get her preggernet at some point.


And regarding the powers. It’s going to be a big part of the story for Gwen and Chloe in act 3.

Can we undo what we did to them? And if so, should we?

Whole argument of “Would you rather be free and miserable or enslaved but happy”.

Deleted 109 days ago

Update idea act two town toggle switch. Like I know the whole thing with the lasypt quest is that it won't be the same afterwards but I still feel like a toggle would be a good idea you could have it as a laptop thing as well.

(+1)

No.

Making the player able to go from act 3 into act 2 would be a massive headache, specially if they want to go back into act 3 later.

Just keep a save on act 2.

(+2)

This game is honestly extremely good

I want to binge play it

Kinda like binge watching anime

Don't really know when it's going to end buttt I'd wait for it to do so then I download it again

REALLY GREAT GAME BY THE WAY!

I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)

Hopefully I'll be able to move the game into beta before 2025, and then once it's fully complete I'll move on to the next one!

Im stuck in act 1 theres nothing i cant do cause catalist is locked cause of the beast pixie always tells me to go for a walk or something but nithung new happens 

(+1)

I think you haven’t met Jessica.

Check Emma’s room at night and progress until you go to the college.

After that, Jessica should appear when you come back to the flat.

okeyy

Quick question, can luna only be unlocked through act 3? If not then how do I get the girl, cause I got no clue how the cave works

(1 edit) (+1)

No, she’s act 2.

Her nexus drops you in a cave, with a candle that’s unlit.

You need to go back to your world, buy matches and then light the candle.

The flame tells you where to go.

PS: It’s an actual maze, takes a few steps to get there the first time.

Damn, thanks for the help. I shall go on an endless trek till it drops me off in the right area lmao

Will decisions related to housing (sell or work on marriage) have any subsequent consequences?

(+1)

If you tell them to sell, when you invite them to live with you they’ll offer you some money from the sale.

You can invite them anyway, even if you told them to keep the house.
