I played this game a while ago on my laptop, and I wanted to play it again, but on my phone. But I'm having a Glitch/error. When it works fine until I reach the scene with Lily and the biker man, where he says he will fight me, when he says "I'll f'ing kill you" the game freezes. I don't know why.
There's a bug in the church, when I try to speak to the nun, there's a point in the dialog where the game freezes and crashes, I'm sorry, my English is trash but, I hope you understand
So I was checking out on another game to see whether or not it still gets updates, but then when I scroll down I suddenly see 2 things from corrupted kingdom, 1 was Kana dancing, the other showed 5 characters on screen, but then I notice, there was one girl I didn't recognize, so I went into research on the Corrupted Kingdoms Wiki, and learned about the Unnamed wolf girl, and how it's got changed from a commision, said how you "Didn't want duplicate Fey "types" early on in the game" I took notice of it saying early on in the game and decided to ask, Does that mean you have plans for this Unnamed wolf girl in the future?
Thanks! that interests me a bunch, after all, I'm gonna keep myself on hold in playing this game for a while, it'll be fun to play with many different things than to just play it after an update releases, I'm so tempted to try out the act 2 gameplay mechanics though.
Just finished the available content in act 3 and was so disappointed it came to an end. I've had a blast with this game. So many characters are just precious. I was even surprised by how much I ended up caring about Gwen. Who up till the end of act 2 I kind of saw as annoying.
I have a few critiques and bug reports.
I encountered a bug in act 2 that made impregnating Kana impossible until I used a superfertility potion. I only had an issue with Kana, and she was also the only time I had a chance to impregnate someone before unlocking the nexus, and the daycare.(maybe the bug is related to triggering pregnancy before those are unlocked?)
Now, for act 3 I noticed a few things with the dialogue that threw me off. First is that the human characters of the East wing aren't really brought up(except for one, very briefly). So I'm still unsure as to who is still in the manor. Second is that none of my baby mama's brought up our kids, not even the MC mentions the kids, which totally threw my out of my immersion. Instead of focusing on what what happening, all I could think about was what happened to the youngins, and why none of these mothers seemed even slightly concerned about their kids. I think the intro to act 3 really needs a few lines of dialogue added where the MC asks about the kids and members of the East Wing.
I'm glad you've enjoyed the game so far, and I hope you stick with it and continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future! :)
The pregnancy bug should be fixed in the latest patched update I released yesterday. If not, please let me know!
As for your critiques, the reasoning for all of it can pretty much be boiled down to: I release weekly updates and I'm only one person ;P Unfortunately I just can't fit everything in that I want to, and some things have had to be put to one side for the moment as other things are prioritised. All of this content will be added in future updates, however, so just bear with me until then! :)
Believe me, I can't wait for more content. I've been checking in every few days for the last week trying to see if anything has dropped.
I completely understand that you're a one man team, and certain things take priority. I did not mean to say that the dialogue issues were urgent. I just wanted to bring it to your attention as something that could be improved upon when there is time to focus on such things.
This game is already great, and has the potential to be much more. I eagerly anticipate what you have in store for us the coming months.
Finally, what is the best way to support your work on the game?
I appreciate it! :) And I'm always happy to hear what people would like to see more of!
I'm on break right now (my birthday), so the next release will be on the 14th, unless I decide to drop any more patches during my time off.
As for the best way to support me, well Subscribestar is the best (they take a much lower cut of the pledge than others), and after that would be Patreon. But if financial support isn't possible, then just spreading the word of CK - or simply playing and enjoying it - are more than enough for me :)
Trying to take Claire on a date at the Club results in the attached error screen, but only in Windows (I used to play in Linux, but Itch's login thing isn't working). Also, the whirling rainbow text in the Hot Springs unlock results in a Windows-only error as well. Please patch, and keep up the great work!
It seems that the new update of the game affected the beginning of the game as I replayed it from the beginning and now the game is stuck without moving from that cutscene you see there, I even tried the game with another high end phone and the same thing happens, I think the developer needs to fix that part now.
This game is better then any game I've played on itch your a better game maker then must out there. (P.S I'm wondering if blind ninja women could be in the main harem with a kid too once the war won
You mean Sawano? She will almost certainly be able to get pregnant, yes (side girl pregnancies depend on player demand, but she's pretty popular so chances are very good!)
That's great she definitely Good choice for that. Oh this just hit me but she can use clone abilities right? Because if we're making a huge harem for ourselves that ability would be perfect for the protagonist. Just a thought you can ignore this part if you want
Seems like it has a lot of potential but game keeps breaking everytime it tries to play a cutscene (I'm on a Pixel 7) - I've also tried using Joiplay as an emulator but that insta crashes. This has stopped me progressing the story.
Wait, your saying that act 3 has BARELY started!? God damn, there must be a lot planned for it then. Especially considering that it already has quite a bit of content in it and its all been pretty good so far.
My game keeps freezing on this screen and then crashing, it right after you walk up the stairs to the tournament for the Asteria quest. Any tips on how to fix this? My device isnt very new so it might be a problem with my device (I'm on Android btw)
i use android and try to play this game but even early in the game my game freezes during in the bar with the man within the dialogue "I'll kill you" is this a bug or something cause i already downloaded the folder many times
sorry broken English read to many cultivation manhua recently
I'm at the Church, trying to talk to Chastity (the nun) for the first time and when the fairy says "Let's go!" The game completely freezes up. No reaction from the menu buttons pressing back or tapping, although the music keeps playing.
The Itch launcher has this weird interaction with Ren'py games where it will randomly erase manual saves on updates for no discernible reason. It's at Itch's end, so sadly there's nothing I can do to stop it from happening.
That being said, all your autosaves will still be there. Open the LOAD screen and click on the "A" down at the bottom of the screen, to the left of the page numbers. Autosaves trigger every time you sleep, so you won't have lost any progress.
Not sure why itch.io doesn’t let the game write saves to the separate folder.
I have something that - provided you got the time - you should try.
Go to the game’s page in the itch.io launcher.
In the bottom-right corner, click the gear icon.
Click the button that says Manage.
Click on Open folder in Explorer
At this point you should see a bunch of game versions.
For the sake of this example, let’s say you updated from 0.19.6 to 0.19.7 and your saves went missing.
You go to the folder for the 0.19.6 version, inside it there will be a folder called game. Inside of that one you’ll find a folder named saves.
If you see inside a bunch of files with numbers in the name and .save file extension, then you’re good. If you don’t, check another version’s folder or resign because you lost your saves.
So assuming you did find some saves, just move the saves folder over to the newest version.
The game isn't finished yet (hence the weekly updates) so if you've conquered most of the western side of the town then there's nothing more you can do until I add it in :)
Soon, sooooooon... don't worry, though, they're fine. All alone out there... isolated... surrounded by MC's mortal enemy, with only Annie and Kana to watch over them.
Ive never played an h game since the trope always seems to be crappy sex scenes and minimal plot, ive also never enjoyed this type of sandbox game, but holy am i addicted. The pacing of acts 1 and 2 were phenominal in char building and the amount of content that exists is insane, i missed several small things like "make your room holloween themed and visit the dungeon at night" prior to act 3 and regret it but little things like that are amazong, khana coming in to put flowers in your empty vase... i agree with other people w/ the act 3 combat... its meh and the story for who youre fighting in those areas is kinda lack luster, but i get that it hasnt been flushed out yet. All that said to say youre doing great and im looking forward to all future content!
I'm glad you've been enjoying it (for the most part) and I'm working hard on adding a lot more story and smaller events to Act Three now, to bring the whole thing much more in-line with acts One and Two :)
I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future!
I’m gonna be honest, Act 1 was a bit slow but still fun, and Act 2 made this one of my favorite games of the genre. Act 3 though, hoo boy, it’s lowering this game’s charm from a solid 9/10 to a 6/10 at best. The combat is boring and lazy and the story feels like it’s been sidelined. I know me saying this isn’t going to change anything, but i’ll say it nonetheless. Remove the entire combat system and create a separate title for it. Just make it a spin-off title and keep this game as the visual novel that it was in Act 1-2. Either that, or make it bonus content.
When I found the “skip all combat” button, I thought it was smart, but sadly all it does is water everything down and it shows that the amount of effort has gone down significantly in the story. This game doesn’t need a combat system. This really has been one of my favorite games of the genre until this point, but i’ve completely lost my desire to keep playing it. When the game officially launches, perhaps just make this battle thing a bonus mode in the extras menu or something. It really has no place in a game that built a fanbase on its visual novel aspects, amazing characters and well-written story.
My advice to anyone reading these reviews is to give this game a chance, it’s very good for the first two acts (which is a pretty big chunk of content). That being said, make sure you save the game on a separate file before entering Act 3, as you’re almost certainly gonna be going back to it a bunch, as it’s where the charm lies.
Sadly, 6/10 currently. Really praying for some kind of fix here, because the disappointment has been immeasurable. This game has so much potential, but the dev just seems to want to add more and more new features rather than delivering the visual novel that got everyone’s attention in the first place. Play to your strengths, stop trying to be everything at once. It never works out in the end
I agree with this so much, I loved the game up until act 3, honestly I think 6/10 is being generous. The character development is completely out the window at this point, which to me is the main point of any VN.
I tried to hang on for a while in hopes of the game returning to what it does best, but unfortunately I've since deleted it, as it seems were not getting that back.
Completely fair. I will say, in defense of the system, that some form of conflict resolution mechanic was required - the town and surrounding environs descending into war was foreshadowed throughout the first two acts and is necessary for the story - but it took a lot longer to implement than I had anticipated (the unfortunate side effect of this being my first proper game).
Now that the mechanic is in place and stabilized I can - and have been - focusing significantly more on the storyline, with Lily, Emma and the Create a Character story events taking front and center place in the last three updates.
That being said... I actually agree with you.
I had a vision for the battle system that would integrate with and compliment the overall narrative, but unfortunately what it's done in practice is to separate the game into two sides that barely interact with each other.
(Not to mention the whiplash that players experience, playing a straight sandbox VN for the first twenty hours and then suddenly being thrown into an old-school SNES-era combat RPG.)
I thought I could use the mechanics to give players more of a sense of immediate agency - and some people do very much enjoy it - but on the whole I think it's too much of a departure from what people enjoyed about the first two acts.
I'm not making any snap decisions, and this is very likely something I will discuss with the community over the next month, but I just wanted to let you know that your disappointment is heard and it is in fact something I am considering how to address :)
Well, let me say first of all that I greatly appreciate how accepting you’re being of the criticism, it does make me hopeful knowing that you understand what i’m saying. I think a good compromise point would be, like- if you’re truly wanting to do the combat stuff and you feel it’s necessary to tell the story, then i’m sure a lot of people could get behind that, just so long as the story and such doesn’t fall behind as a result, if that makes sense. I’m not saying this to kiss ass or anything, but this really has been one of my favorite, uh… “adult games”, shall we say. I do honestly thing the story itself is pretty good on a regular game level (as h games are notorious for bad stories). Just, if it takes time, i’m sure the community is willing to wait, myself included. Just so long as the story hasn’t been forgotten.
Sidenote, as the creator, i’m curious. Who’s been your favorite character to write so far?
As Chris said, not in the next update, but very soon :) There's a whole "thing" attached to it - it will shake things up quite a bit - so it will take a little while longer to get ready.
Game is already free.
Will be to the end as far as I can tell.
Supporters ($1 a month or higher on Patreon/Subscribestar) get access to tne new updates 3 days earlier.
But no extra content or any other paywalled bullshit.
There have been talks of releasing an uncompiled version with all the assets once the game is done, for something between 5 and 15 bucks for people that may want to use the CK assets to mess around and possibly make their own games at some point.
Chris covered everything very thoroughly, but just so there's an "official" response:
Yes, when the game is finished it will be released to everyone for free - no paygated content or purchasable DLCs or anything like that :)
What I will do, however, is also release - at the same time - a completed unencrypted and uncompiled version of the game for a small fee. This version will be released under the Creative Commons license, which will allow you to do anything you want with the code, characters and assets.
Want to mod the game? Sure thing! Want to use it as the base for a brand-new game of your own? Absolutely! Want to take the characters and use them in other forms of media? You go, girl. Whatever you like. I'd honestly be fascinated to see what people do with it :)
I mean, the game isn’t really encouraging you to have multiple kids with the same mother.
Since they’re all clones that act the same, it’s just in for the sake of giving people into the preggo kink the chance to do that scene again.
But if you go to the daycare, check the registry, I believe it also lists the kids that you yeeted into the nexus.
As Chris says, the Daycare already provides a list of all the kids' names in case you've forgotten who you've thrown into the Nexus.
I could potentially duplicate the list in the Nexus, too, to save people from having to backtrack, but that sort of thing will likely have to wait for when CK goes into beta.
Im abouta start for the first time. quick question. is there any way to know which path your going on whether it be hero path or villain path? and also if you choose one path are you completly locked out of content from the other?
I played this back a while ago, and fell in love with it. All the unique characters, the amazing dialogue that was believable and adorable, everything. Well done.
After the alpha, yes. That will be when the game is feature-complete and the only things left to do are fixing, polishing and adding new events where needed/appropriate :)

Yes, the un-named brown wolf girl will be making an appearance in Act Three, and she will have something to do with Kana... no spoilers, though! :)

She’ll get content in act 3 some day.

Also, the whirling rainbow text in the Hot Springs unlock results in a Windows-only error as well. Please patch, and keep up the great work!
Fixed for next update - thanks for the report! :)
А когда игра будет переведена на русский ?
Когда он почти закончен. Каждую неделю обновляю игру. Слишком быстро для переводчиков :P
Same
Known issue, an engine update made it so some videos won’t be played on android.
A fix has been already found, but alternatives are being tested before the patch comes.
Thanks for letting me know, facha, it's appreciated
Patched version is up, now :)
Thanks facha, you really deserve a break
This game is better then any game I've played on itch your a better game maker then must out there. (P.S I'm wondering if blind ninja women could be in the main harem with a kid too once the war won
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :)
You mean Sawano? She will almost certainly be able to get pregnant, yes (side girl pregnancies depend on player demand, but she's pretty popular so chances are very good!)
That's great she definitely Good choice for that. Oh this just hit me but she can use clone abilities right? Because if we're making a huge harem for ourselves that ability would be perfect for the protagonist. Just a thought you can ignore this part if you want
Yes, she has a self-cloning technique :) However, whether she will (or can!) teach it to the MC is another matter entirely...
Seems like it has a lot of potential but game keeps breaking everytime it tries to play a cutscene (I'm on a Pixel 7) - I've also tried using Joiplay as an emulator but that insta crashes. This has stopped me progressing the story.
It’s a recent error, Arc tried updating the engine to fix some stability issues that some Android players had.
But for some reason it doesn’t let cutscenes play in some phones.
I initially assumed it was low-end phones, but it seems like the scope is larger than initially thought.
A fix is in the works.
how to update
It depends.
PC or Phone?
If PC, have you ever used the itch.io launcher?
wat about phone
On phone there’s no way to update without having to download the APK for the new version and installing it as an update to the existing app.
NOTE: Do NOT uninstall, you’ll lose your savegames if you do.
Got it, how would I install it as update?
Just download and install like you did before. This time it will say “update” instead of install.
Pretty much the same.
pc, never heard
My game was got freeze in this scene, why?
My chipset was snap 7+ gen 2 btw
Yeah, the game is supposed to play a cutscene but in some phones it refuses to do that.
If you have time join the discord server, I kinda need some test subjects, can’t replicate hte issue on my own.
so that's was a bug, well i can't progress my game if that bug not solved, thx for answering.
Fix has been uploaded and you should be able to continue no problem after updating. Sorry for the inconvenience!
What difference does it make for a boss to have "broken" state of mind as opposed to having been rehabilitated?
Barely any, if I’m being honest.
The rehab for now only exists for the sake of moral roleplay.
If you don’t feel like shattering them or going the dungeon route, you can still get them on the team.
It’s a bit of a grindy mess, but Arc can’t afford to spend long tweaking it.
I’m going to try to convince him to add more content for the rehab option.
I was just curious if I'd miss anything by not rehabilitating them but I guess it's just a short cutscene per character?
Ah yes, the short scene at the end of it where you go to their district and get a little bit of background lore on them.
Like Ophelia having two dads.
But like I said, I’ll try to convince Arc to give the bossgirls a bit more depth.
Only problem is that, as a result, we’ll get less bossgirls in total.
how long will the story continue?
Well, Act 3 has barely started in terms of story.
Then once it’s done there’ll be an epilogue.
One thing Arc has mentioned is that he’s planning to have sequels to this “universe”.
But that’s kinda far in the future.
oh, but how many acts does the creator plan to do? and will the scenes get voices?
It’s just 3 acts, not counting the prologue and epilogue.
And no voice acting.
Not only it would add to the size of the game, I believe Arc agrees that you can’t half-ass voice acting.
So it’s better to not have voice acting instead of having some mediocre voice acting.
Same in regards of “sex noises” and moans.
You can go for so long hearing the same japanese girl moan SFX before you’d rather take a powerdrill to your eardrums.
so act 3 is the last act or will there be more acts?
Just three acts and then the Epilogue.
Wait, your saying that act 3 has BARELY started!? God damn, there must be a lot planned for it then. Especially considering that it already has quite a bit of content in it and its all been pretty good so far.
Well, kind of.
To put things in perspective.
Act 2 was really fkin long, Act 3 is potentially shorter.
We’ve been in act 3 since October last year, and a good bunch of the progression is the battle system and the territories it brings with.
Not that much in terms of story yet. That’s why I say “barely started”.
It takes time to setup things and getting the ball rolling.
Arc is one guy, weekly updates… Go figure.
At least now there’s a tech support guy to wrassle the code when something goes wrong.
I got error pop out
Here the error

Huh, curious.
Something changed in the way the game processes that bit of the code.
Forwarded and working on it.
My game keeps freezing on this screen and then crashing, it right after you walk up the stairs to the tournament for the Asteria quest. Any tips on how to fix this? My device isnt very new so it might be a problem with my device (I'm on Android btw)
Happened again right when i was about to enter the bunker in the Roxy quest
It kinda is a problem with certain lower-end devices.
Not sure why they freeze when playing cutscenes.
The list of scenes affected has been identified, trying to figure out how to fix it…
Thanks for telling me <3
If you have time, it would help if you could join the discord server.
I kinda need some test subjects to know if this bug is fixed or not. My phone doesn’t have the problem.
version french
No.
That is, not yet. Official translations won’t happen until the game is finished.
Game got stuck during first talk to the nun also again at the bar talking to the mean "man"
Cant progress further unfortunately... Is there a fix??
No fix yet, new issues.
Supporters didn’t find it so we just learned this was a problem.
UPDATE: Found the cause, now trying to find a way to fix it.
У меня та же проблема
glad to hear that you guys are on a way to fix it!
Will be waiting for a fix, thanks a lot 👍
Fix is live now! :) Sorry for the inconvenience!
i use android and try to play this game but even early in the game my game freezes during in the bar with the man within the dialogue "I'll kill you" is this a bug or something cause i already downloaded the folder many times
sorry broken English read to many cultivation manhua recently
No idea why this happens, looking into it.
thanks you for replying and noticing, i hope you and the rest of the team have a wonderful day
Well, team is an odd word.
Arc is the developer, he does the writing, visuals and code.
I’m just a rando that ended up becoming tech support :P
As for the bug, I identified that’s an issue with some relatively low-end phones.
The game plays some videos as cutscenes and for some reason the phone just refuses to play them.
My game keeps getting an error right after meeting with Sawano
here is a link of my traceback file.
any ideas on a fix?
I don't know if it helps but I just clicked ignore and the game went on without issues.
I did that too, but I would prefer my game not being broken.
Thanks for the traceback.
But for the time being, try hitting Ignore.
Unless you get a different traceback… It seems this one has to do with the kinetic text…
UPDATE:
Good news, found the issue and fixed it for the next version.
Bad news, Arc is going to take a break and the game won’t get updated until the 18th.
(Unless Arc decides to make a patched version.)
I've found a bug with the android release.
I'm at the Church, trying to talk to Chastity (the nun) for the first time and when the fairy says "Let's go!" The game completely freezes up. No reaction from the menu buttons pressing back or tapping, although the music keeps playing.
Any way to fix this?
having exact same issue here, hopefully there is a fix, 😥
I initially wasn’t able to find the exact reason why this happens.
But now more people are getting this issue.
I guess it’s time to look deeper into it.
But for the time being, we don’t really know why this happens.
ADDENDUM:
It’s an issue with certain phones.
The game tries to play a cutscene and it just freezes instead of playing the video.
Interesting... Well, at least that's an answer of some kind!
If you have time, it would help if you could join the discord server.
I kinda need some test subjects to know if this bug is fixed or not. My phone doesn’t have the problem.
I lost all my save files with the newest update, what's up with that? Is it as intended or?
No, not really.
What platform are you playing on?
Windows, Mac, Linux, Android?
If you’re on PC, are you using the itch.io launcher?
Windows, and yes I am using the itch.io launcher.
The Itch launcher has this weird interaction with Ren'py games where it will randomly erase manual saves on updates for no discernible reason. It's at Itch's end, so sadly there's nothing I can do to stop it from happening.
That being said, all your autosaves will still be there. Open the LOAD screen and click on the "A" down at the bottom of the screen, to the left of the page numbers. Autosaves trigger every time you sleep, so you won't have lost any progress.
That's the thing though. The autosaves were gone too
Hmm, this is weird.
Not sure why itch.io doesn’t let the game write saves to the separate folder.
I have something that - provided you got the time - you should try.
At this point you should see a bunch of game versions.
So assuming you did find some saves, just move the saves folder over to the newest version.
can someone give me a save file from before the war?
Ask in Discord, not exactly easy to share files here.
Have your needed rest king
Thanks! :) I'm looking forward to the downtime, but I suspect I'm going to spend half of it thinking up story ideas...
looking forward to recruiting other people in future updates
okay, im on the war phase and im stuck, i cant attack anymore or do things
The game isn't finished yet (hence the weekly updates) so if you've conquered most of the western side of the town then there's nothing more you can do until I add it in :)
LEMME OUT! LEMME SEE MY CHILDREN! LEMME PET KANAAAAAA!!!
Soon, sooooooon... don't worry, though, they're fine. All alone out there... isolated... surrounded by MC's mortal enemy, with only Annie and Kana to watch over them.
They're fiiiiiiiiiiiine ;)
Kana better be alive. The children? well i placed all mine with the artifact cos breeding kinks go BRRRRRRRT
Ive never played an h game since the trope always seems to be crappy sex scenes and minimal plot, ive also never enjoyed this type of sandbox game, but holy am i addicted. The pacing of acts 1 and 2 were phenominal in char building and the amount of content that exists is insane, i missed several small things like "make your room holloween themed and visit the dungeon at night" prior to act 3 and regret it but little things like that are amazong, khana coming in to put flowers in your empty vase... i agree with other people w/ the act 3 combat... its meh and the story for who youre fighting in those areas is kinda lack luster, but i get that it hasnt been flushed out yet. All that said to say youre doing great and im looking forward to all future content!
I'm glad you've been enjoying it (for the most part) and I'm working hard on adding a lot more story and smaller events to Act Three now, to bring the whole thing much more in-line with acts One and Two :)
I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future!
My second favorite h game(first is goddess' whim)
I'm honored to have made it into the top two! :)
I’m gonna be honest, Act 1 was a bit slow but still fun, and Act 2 made this one of my favorite games of the genre. Act 3 though, hoo boy, it’s lowering this game’s charm from a solid 9/10 to a 6/10 at best. The combat is boring and lazy and the story feels like it’s been sidelined. I know me saying this isn’t going to change anything, but i’ll say it nonetheless. Remove the entire combat system and create a separate title for it. Just make it a spin-off title and keep this game as the visual novel that it was in Act 1-2. Either that, or make it bonus content.
When I found the “skip all combat” button, I thought it was smart, but sadly all it does is water everything down and it shows that the amount of effort has gone down significantly in the story. This game doesn’t need a combat system. This really has been one of my favorite games of the genre until this point, but i’ve completely lost my desire to keep playing it. When the game officially launches, perhaps just make this battle thing a bonus mode in the extras menu or something. It really has no place in a game that built a fanbase on its visual novel aspects, amazing characters and well-written story.
My advice to anyone reading these reviews is to give this game a chance, it’s very good for the first two acts (which is a pretty big chunk of content). That being said, make sure you save the game on a separate file before entering Act 3, as you’re almost certainly gonna be going back to it a bunch, as it’s where the charm lies.
Sadly, 6/10 currently. Really praying for some kind of fix here, because the disappointment has been immeasurable. This game has so much potential, but the dev just seems to want to add more and more new features rather than delivering the visual novel that got everyone’s attention in the first place. Play to your strengths, stop trying to be everything at once. It never works out in the end
I agree with this so much, I loved the game up until act 3, honestly I think 6/10 is being generous. The character development is completely out the window at this point, which to me is the main point of any VN.
I tried to hang on for a while in hopes of the game returning to what it does best, but unfortunately I've since deleted it, as it seems were not getting that back.
Completely fair. I will say, in defense of the system, that some form of conflict resolution mechanic was required - the town and surrounding environs descending into war was foreshadowed throughout the first two acts and is necessary for the story - but it took a lot longer to implement than I had anticipated (the unfortunate side effect of this being my first proper game).
Now that the mechanic is in place and stabilized I can - and have been - focusing significantly more on the storyline, with Lily, Emma and the Create a Character story events taking front and center place in the last three updates.
That being said... I actually agree with you.
I had a vision for the battle system that would integrate with and compliment the overall narrative, but unfortunately what it's done in practice is to separate the game into two sides that barely interact with each other.
(Not to mention the whiplash that players experience, playing a straight sandbox VN for the first twenty hours and then suddenly being thrown into an old-school SNES-era combat RPG.)
I thought I could use the mechanics to give players more of a sense of immediate agency - and some people do very much enjoy it - but on the whole I think it's too much of a departure from what people enjoyed about the first two acts.
I'm not making any snap decisions, and this is very likely something I will discuss with the community over the next month, but I just wanted to let you know that your disappointment is heard and it is in fact something I am considering how to address :)
Well, let me say first of all that I greatly appreciate how accepting you’re being of the criticism, it does make me hopeful knowing that you understand what i’m saying. I think a good compromise point would be, like- if you’re truly wanting to do the combat stuff and you feel it’s necessary to tell the story, then i’m sure a lot of people could get behind that, just so long as the story and such doesn’t fall behind as a result, if that makes sense. I’m not saying this to kiss ass or anything, but this really has been one of my favorite, uh… “adult games”, shall we say. I do honestly thing the story itself is pretty good on a regular game level (as h games are notorious for bad stories). Just, if it takes time, i’m sure the community is willing to wait, myself included. Just so long as the story hasn’t been forgotten.
Sidenote, as the creator, i’m curious. Who’s been your favorite character to write so far?
When we will be able to take the college back? In the next weekly updade or it will take longer?
Not the next one.
I mean, for once Arc doesn’t really have a timetable. Just estimates.
I’m not sure if we’re done with the current pipeline of Lily content, also Emma was getting some content. And then there’s Lyx appearing once.
In summary, I don’t know. And fairly certain Arc doesn’t know either.
But for sure not on the next version.
As Chris said, not in the next update, but very soon :) There's a whole "thing" attached to it - it will shake things up quite a bit - so it will take a little while longer to get ready.
No.
Just no.
There’s a reason why a developer changes things. If they could keep things how they were, they would. Since it’s often the easier path.
Maintaining both the old and the new version of something is just unnecessary extra effort. That and the file bloat would get bad quickly.
A question
Will this project will be free when your done with the game or do we have to pay
i will support it either way
Game is already free. Will be to the end as far as I can tell.
Supporters ($1 a month or higher on Patreon/Subscribestar) get access to tne new updates 3 days earlier. But no extra content or any other paywalled bullshit.
There have been talks of releasing an uncompiled version with all the assets once the game is done, for something between 5 and 15 bucks for people that may want to use the CK assets to mess around and possibly make their own games at some point.
Chris covered everything very thoroughly, but just so there's an "official" response:
Yes, when the game is finished it will be released to everyone for free - no paygated content or purchasable DLCs or anything like that :)
What I will do, however, is also release - at the same time - a completed unencrypted and uncompiled version of the game for a small fee. This version will be released under the Creative Commons license, which will allow you to do anything you want with the code, characters and assets.
Want to mod the game? Sure thing! Want to use it as the base for a brand-new game of your own? Absolutely! Want to take the characters and use them in other forms of media? You go, girl. Whatever you like. I'd honestly be fascinated to see what people do with it :)
In "find kids", instead of remembering their name, can't you make the same UI like when we visit day care.
Ehm… probably not.
I mean, the game isn’t really encouraging you to have multiple kids with the same mother. Since they’re all clones that act the same, it’s just in for the sake of giving people into the preggo kink the chance to do that scene again.
But if you go to the daycare, check the registry, I believe it also lists the kids that you yeeted into the nexus.
As Chris says, the Daycare already provides a list of all the kids' names in case you've forgotten who you've thrown into the Nexus.
I could potentially duplicate the list in the Nexus, too, to save people from having to backtrack, but that sort of thing will likely have to wait for when CK goes into beta.
Im abouta start for the first time. quick question. is there any way to know which path your going on whether it be hero path or villain path? and also if you choose one path are you completly locked out of content from the other?
There are no hero or villain paths.
Most choices are pretty self isolated with low to no consequence.
And the ones that matter are pretty obvious. (Like killing or recruiting a character)
Game is made by just one guy, branching like that would take more than a decade.
I played this back a while ago, and fell in love with it. All the unique characters, the amazing dialogue that was believable and adorable, everything. Well done.
oh and I have to add, the story is gripping and awesome. Honestly.
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it! :) It always means a lot to a developer to hear that people are having fun with their creation!
Will there be a basket ball mini game? i Need to be able crush them in basketball.
I'm afraid not - Ren'py doesn't really lend itself to minigames. The battle system alone took over a month to code! ;P
will there be a beta version
After the alpha, yes. That will be when the game is feature-complete and the only things left to do are fixing, polishing and adding new events where needed/appropriate :)
crashes on launch.
" error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check"
how do i fix this?
Sounds like your download was corrupted. This can happen because of micro-outages on your ISP or anything that interrupts the download process.
Download again and it should be fine :)
I'm stuck at the part where I have to conquer the college or the outskirts zones, but it won't let me.
Is it a me problem or it's normal?
I'm from mobile so I didn't delete an reinstall or else I would lose data.
The game isn't finished yet (hence the weekly updates) so not all locations can be conquered right now :)
