It's not a priority at the moment, and the titles were rather universally disliked. If and when they're brought back they'll be toggleable in the Preferences :P
Ok so i got something for you mister developer, and i hope to god you'll see this cause i got an idea on how the final true power of the player should be called and how i think it would work based on your info so far about it. First i gotta say i loved your game and i cant wait for the finished product.
Ok so let me get some things cleared out first. I will be calling the player the "character", the people he uses his power on will be the "victim/victims" and i will call the mind and personality of the victims as the "circle" (this to make more clear how i understand the power of the character works)
Well now that i got everything i needed cleared out, let me begin on how the character's power has worked so far
Act I:
Ok so at the beginning of the story the character has the artifact thing put inside him by Morgana to "keep him alive". (which as we find out later is a big fat lie cause all that thing does is supress his true power, but i guess if he used his full power from the start he maybe would actually die because we saw he gets severe headaches when he uses all the power he can use so far, anyway, back to the important stuff) And he can use the power called "Control" now. So, what control does. Well to explain and understand it as i do i need you (reader) to imagine that the victim's mind and personality controls the actions of the body, so imagine those being a circle. What happens when the character uses "Control" on a victim is that his power goes inside their conciousness and interacts with the circle, bending it slightly. Very, very slightly. But still enough to make them do simple stuff. And as he uses control on someone more and more he can bend the circle more, but not much. However many times he uses control, he can bend someone only so far, and if the victim is strong, the effect has even less efficiency, that being why he cant control Morgana, she's too strong, and Pixie being a so called mistake probably means that she isnt very strong, which is why the character can control her from the start. So to sum it up, when the character uses "control" on a victim he can bend their circle and as he uses control (ill stop typing "control" like this cause it takes too much time and i got a lot to say) more and more he can bend the circle more, but only if he surpasses the victim in power by quite a big scale (by power i mean magical power and yes normal humans that cant use magic still have magical power, thing of it as their willpower).
Act II:
Here things get interesting, because after being far away from Pixie in the Organization hideout the character breaks through a part of the limiter artifact thing and can now use 2 different powers. One being "Shatter" (which as gramps says is a subdivision of the character's true power, remember this because its important) and the other one being "Awaken" (which as i see it it is a buffed down version of the character's true power and it also has the need to know a strong aspect about the victim)
So first, shatter. As i understand, shatter works like this. So, the character uses a lot of brute magical strength and then his power goes in the victim's conciousness and it completely erases the circle (meaning it destroys the mind of the victim, making them a doll or robot). And, as we see in Chloe's case, with enough strength and if the character far outshines the victim in magic power he can completely erase the circle, but if the power of the character and the victim are more matched, then the character can only erase parts or the circle, or rather it cant completely erase it, like when you swipe your eraser over a drawing and you can still see the drawing a bit. And if the character doesnt have or doesnt use enough strength then he cant do anything to the victim. And after he uses shatter, the conciousness becomes empty (if the circle is completely erased) or theres more space (if the circle still is slightly present) and then the character can input a new shape into the conciousness that he can pilot and make it do as he wants, and he has complete control over the shape he makes, but this means he literally makes the victim a robot or mindless doll that can only do as asked of the character. If theres still a part of the past self of the victim, that that part can still do some normal things like feel certain emotions, but it doesnt have enough power to actually do something against the character (if the shatter is succesfull, even if only slightly). Later, when the fey assassin goes inside Chloe, now the assassin can control Chloe more and can even make her say things, but still she cant make her do something against the character, meaning that when she entered her body, she went into the conciousness and empowered whatever small remains of Chloe's erased circle there still were, but she wasnt stronger than the character, and so she cant freely pilot Chloe's body.
And now, awaken. This one is more interesting. Ok, so, now i want you to imagine the circle split into many parts, some big and some very small, those parts being the needs and wants of the victim, or their desires. A bigger desire means a bigger part of the circle it occupies. And for the character to use awaken he needs to find the biggest part of the circle and know what it represents. And then he uses awaken on a victim and the power goes inside the conciousness. There, it "makes a deal" with the conciousness that in exchange for satisfying that part of the circle, the conciousness gives full control to the awaken power (and so the character) of that part of the circle. And then the awaken power corrupts that part, and as the character satisfies that part of the circle more, the corruption grows and occupies more of the circle. But this is still a slow process, not as powerful or fast as the final true power the character has. More magical strength put into the awaken power means more control over that part of the circle, and in Gwen's case, the character used full power, and so he didnt need to know her biggest desire cause his power was so overwhelming the conciousness gave full control of the whole circle to the character. But that needs him to use his full strength, and even if he does, he couldnt do what he did to Gwen to a stronger person like Morgana.
Now guess what, IM FINALLY DONE EXPLAINING ALL THE BORING BULLSH........ *Cough cough*. What i was trying to say is that now that im done explaining the power of the character as we have seen it so far, now i can get to my idea on how the final true power of the character should be named, and what it should do and work like.
Ok then, to the good part we go.
So, the final power (in my opinion) should be called "Corrupt", you'll see exactly why when i explain what it does. It also is cool that it fits with the name of the game "Corrupted Kingdoms".
So, what is corrupt. Well. Ohh boy this is gonna be a long one. So, first ill explain how i imagine the character gains this power. What i think is that at the end of the war the character has to fight "Morgana", "The Organisation" and "The Eldritch" at the same time (they team up or something to get rid of the character, since they all want that now). And as he at first looses the battle, Gramps comes in the play like at the end of act 2 and instead of scaring away everybody, he keeps them at bay but says: "I dont want to get directly involved in this, so I wont fight you. " Then, he takes the artifact out of the Character and says: "You are ready boy, i believe you can control your power now and so, go ahead and show them what you're capable of, give them hell!" and he then flies away, leaving an artifactless character on the ground as his power starts to flow into his body, overwhelming him at first. But, as the Organisation boss goes up to the character to check if he is dead, the character burst with a strong light and after his allies and enemies are able to see once again, they see him flying in the air, a big smirk on his face and then they hear a loud voice in their head saying: "Finally, my power is now truly mine. I can feel it coursing through me, its so much i feel like im a god now." and then he points his finger to his closest enemy, the boss of the organisation and he shouts: "CORRUPT". Then, a black and purple light shoots out of his finger and goes inside the boss of the organisation's mind (which i dont remember the name of and so ill call him Max, i dont know, its the first name that came to mind, and it sounds kinda menacing i guess.....) Then, after a second Max kneels down and says: "I live to serve you my lord, i will obey any order you give me." Then he looks up to his master, the character, with an evil smirk and says: "Do you wish for me to kill these plebians that dare oppose you my master?" Then the Character says: "No, my subject. But i do have a task for you. Go among my allies and protect them with your life, and order your troops to do so aswell (troops being the whole organisation which of course are there since thats why they are strong, they have strength in numbers and tech) (Side Note: I will assume the fact that after the character gains his strength he somehow magically already knows how it works and stuff like that so i can simplify things a bit. Also, ill finish the story then ill explain how i think corrupt should work). Then Max orders his troops to circle all of the allies of the character, but they try to fight back because they want to accompany the character, believing he isnt strong enough to take everyone down by himself (and how wrong they are). Among the crowd Gwen says: "My Love! Please let us help you! You cant take them down alone! Please, ill give my life so you can win, but please let me do so! (i know Gwen is in a wheelchair, but i think she's still be there even if she cant fight, she couldnt allow herself to not accompany the character in what she still thinks may be his last moments, because she believes he doesnt have a chance at winning). Then Max angrily says: "How dare you impose the fact that master cant win! He is allpowerfull, allknowing and a god that walks among us lowlives! Everyone should bow down to him, and they will after he shows them his majestic power as he has shown me, he will show them the light and they will bend to his will! He Will Win!" And then the character says: "Silence! I do not want my subjects to fight among themselves! You shall see that i will win this, and i will alone, i do not want to put you in harms way anymore than i have done already Gwen and everybody else. Now watch on and see how my true power takes down my foes!". Then, the crowd starts cheering on the character as they now believe in his strength. Then, Morgana and the Eldritch jump up towards the character trying to attack him, and he teleports from their way, leaving them to attack each other. Then, he says in a commanding and menacing voice: "These lowlives believe they can fight me, how foolish. I shall show you the light and bring you to salvation, as i am a merciful god. Now then, CORRUPT!" He shouts out and then two more black and purple lights shoot out of his hands and enter the bodies of both Morgana and the Eldritch, and after a few second of the character pushing his power inside them, they finally break and then they kneel infront of them, both saying at the same time: "We have been brought to salvation, our lord. We see we have been foolish to oppose you, if you wish we shall take our lives as repentance for our foolish behavior" Then both Morgana and the Eldritch bring their hands to their chests towards their hearts and wait for their lords response. The character then says in a commanding loud tone: "No, my subjects. You have been foolish, yes. And you have brought me pain, yes, but i am merciful, i forgive mistakes as long as you serve me and never oppose me again." then both Morgana and the Eldritch look up at the character and say on queue: "We shall our lord! We will repent our whole lives and serve you with our very own being! We will make sure no one ever opposes you ever again! How merciful and forgiving of you to let us server you, we will give our all to bringing only joy to you!" and then they bow again. And yeah, thats how i picture the last fight ending. It is to my liking because i really love a short fight where the main character just obliderates his enemy. This is my style so yeah. So, now to get to how corrupt works.
Well, picture it like this. First, as i said, when the character casts corrupt a black and purple light shoots out of his hand and enters the body of the victim. Then, it goes to their conciousness. (Side note, im lazy, so ill explain how this power works only at full strength. I even have an excuse for it. The character can only use Corrupt when he uses all of his strength, otherwise he can only use his previous powers. Yup, thats why) And then we reach the circle. There, the magical power of the corrupt power of the character completely takes over the circle, shaping and molding itself around it. Then, it destroys the circle and then the corrupt energy power replaces it, remaining in the same shape but it also gives the character the ability to mold it to his will, in whatever way he wishes, but it being the same shape as the original circle means that the victim still acts as itself, only it serves the character with all of their being. As we saw at the awaken power, the reason for this being that now all of the circle represents only one desire, serving the character.
Thats it. Thats how i see the final true power of the character being introduced, being named and also how i see it working. I hope to god the creator will see this, i really loved your game man and i hope youll at least read my idea. Maybe even consider taking notes from it........ if it isnt too much to hope...... yeah you get it. Alright, my fingers hurt like hell so thats it folks. Hope you like my idea. Peace out!
Someone on the Discord server (maybe you?) was saying that Itch downloads were behaving weirdly for them, too. Might be that Itch's server had the hiccups - try the Patreon or Subscribestar links if Itch still isn't working for you :)
Unfortunately I don't speak that language so I don't know what the error message actually is. Could be a lack of storage space, could be a corrupted download, could be your phone is out of date or is running incompatible hardware or could be that your phone needs to be fully powered down and restarted.
Sounds like you're running a translated version perhaps, NERDYNERDY. Those aren't official and I can't provide either support or fixes for them, I'm afraid.
Boys and girls, haven't played game for a year or so At that moment there were no scenes with Morgana(is it her name? our first antagonist) except the one where she was having a good time on her throne. Are there any more content with this lady today?
For roxy you need to go with her on a trip to the base after you already completed everything, you can find a cloth dispenser there that unlocks the military outfit
... check your suscribestar page(make sure to look at it as a potential player (e.g.: don't login as owner), there has been a habit of setting the public release under lock and key. I know it is available elsewhere but, I thought you would like to know........ ("A bridge of learning" EXAMPLE ) (and several more)
I understand your viewpoint but if it is not brought to attention, it could happen in succession, luckily there are sites like this. I just hope Arc is able to read it and realize the error and not have it be repeated.
Public releases will now be the Monday after the supporter release.
Meaning that 0.20.2 will come the 23rd this month.
And for the record, Arc.
You could’ve made like a public announcement in regards of the schedule change. There are some folks that still don’t know you’ve gone bi-weekly.
Won’t expect you to do that each time you take a break, but I also don’t expect you to change the scheduling too often. This is a relatively major change.
And yeah. My PSA ain’t worth shit since people won’t scroll down.
People also don’t read the entire patchnotes.
I know I don’t read the bottom bit most of the time because it’s often summarised into “Updates continue as normal” i.e next week or so.
I can't seem to find the fey merchant - I'm hearing that they should show up on the property list, but I see no such option, and as far as I can tell I need them in order to buy a steel casing and progress.
If none of that made sense, I'm trying to construct the bomb. I can't find the steel casing. I've finished every other main girl's questline, and can't progress the church or the fey questlines until I construct the bomb.
Nobody read the patch notes, your PSA or the Discord announcement. How exactly do you think I should communicate these things better? Break into people's homes and yell at them? :P
So I went back to a pre act3 save and was able to unlock the flying bar but even though I completed all fights and conversations I still haven't triggered an event to get past the blockades. What am I doing wrong😭🙏🥺 please explain?
Old club was one of the first things I did. It didn't show up as a boss fight. I conquered the mansion and then it let me try the old club when I tried to go to the outskirts.
So, not sure if doing something wrong or what. I originally played this game on Android last year and backed up from saves from then. Now I reinstalled it on another android device and moved my backed up saves to the save folder. Every time I try to load those saves, it crashes. Am I going to have to start over?
Previous android device was on Android 12 and so is the current android device
It looks like you moved the files to the wrong location, or didn't grab everything you needed to. The engine is attempting to find something that it expects to be a zip file, and it isn't.
That being said, it might be something else, but the important information is actually at the bottom of the traceback (that image you screenshotted) :P So if you could show me the entire traceback that would help to narrow down the issue.
I see. Maybe it's how I backed them up(just uploaded the .save files) and how I put them into the "saves" folder (just downloaded from where I backed them up and moved them to that folder. Thanks for helping however you can, I appreciate it.
Okay, well this is weird because the code appears to be trying to pull from the Linux build..? Which if you're on Android, and not using any apps like JoiPlay, doesn't make any sense.
All I can really suggest at this point is to make sure that you did in fact copy everything from:
Android/data/com.domain.corruptedkingdoms/saves
And that you're putting everything back into that exact folder, with no extra subfolders or nesting or anything going on.
Failing that, completely uninstalling the game (making sure to keep your old saves) and reinstalling it again might clear up whatever the issue is...
Sorry I can't be more help, but this is something happening on an engine level, not a game level, and my knowledge of the underlying Ren'py code is practically non-existent :P
Please, I'm still stuck at the roadblocks and have done every single thing available. It's been several days, but I still can't access the content at the bar. Please help 😭🙏
I'm assuming you've been using the AutoWin option for every fight? You need to make sure that you're running the latest version, and then get into another battle (AutoWin or not, doesn't matter - I patched the glitch) and then sleep until you get Lily's event.
As for the roadblock, what are you stuck on? You just have to reach it, search it, conquer the new Old Club location that appears and then return to the roadblock to clear it.
I don't think training fights will work, as I think I designed them to restore your health after you were done, but maybe..?
A guaranteed way to get it to work would be to switch your meals (via Hana in the kitchen) to "Caviar on Toast" which gives you a 50% chance of your territories being attacked by Org Goons.
Came for the porn, stayed for the story and feels. Keep on the good work! This game is already incredibly interesting and I hope it's only going to get better)
Returned to the game after a few months and found too much refreshing content!
But found a small problem, simply because my English is not good enough to keep up with my brain's processing speed.....
And no one in China has tried to publish Chinese translations publicly yet, so I usually use an OCR software + translation software to make it less painful for me to play lol
but after the update I found that the fonts have become very ..... Artistic (I'd like it more if I could read it haha), but the new fonts behave very differently from the others, so it's hard to be recognized by OCR.
Sorry to bother you with non-gameplay aspects, but I'm still wondering if there's a feature to change the fonts and font sizes later on. to make it easier for me or more people who use this translation tool to play? Very much looking forward to your reply.
I have a question, how can I give the relic that the girl from the Church asks for?, and in the war when I access Fenix or Tank, a line of codes appears, is there something involved with the lore? (Translation made by Google Translate).
don't mean to be rude lad but uh...could'a just kept that to yourself there mate...IDK if you've ever designed a game like this but it can be quite hard to do so.
It shouldn't matter if they designed a game or not, that doesn't mean he can't leave a review, as that's the entire purpose of user reviews intended for dev feedback. For example most judges on competitions don't always know how to do whatever talent or sport they're reviewing, this isn't true for all cases though. so Troupert is absolutely in the right to release his opinion as a review, regardless of popular opinion
I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not, but my MC had one of the kids pretty shortly before the transition to act 3, and she never made it to being a toddler like the rest. Will she still pop up as a bigger kid eventually, or is she stuck as a baby.
1. It skips the naming phase, necessitating a redesign of the pregnancy system.
2. I would have to include a "meeting your kid for the first time" scene in the reuniting scene, which would be extremely clunky and awkward
3. I would have to account in all lead-up dialogue for the fact that MC wouldn't know for sure if he had a kid or not with that particular girl, or where the kid actually was
4. If a girl gave birth during the war, while MC was in a coma or presumed dead (some girls think he's dead, remember) they would almost certainly give the kid to Artifact for safe keeping, which would make it impossible to retrieve the kid as you wouldn't have named them.
All in all, it's much simpler to just have the MC say in Act Two: "I should wait until all my kids are born before I kick off this thing with the church. Who knows what might happen?" :)
Here's a question... not including the girls who can get pregnant now before Act 3, if you added that for other girls later would they have to get preggers before Act 3? Basically would you have to restart the game for any girls who can't get pregnant at the moment, if you added it for them?
Most of the side girls will be able to get pregnant in Act Two and probably Act Three as well once that point is reached.
That will happen when the game enters beta, though, and everyone will be strongly encouraged to start the game again once the beta period nears completion/gold release is done as the entire game will be getting a facelift and a code refurbishment just to make everything as shiny as possible before I declare it done :)
The baby was born, in my case, I just didn't wait until the "visiting them at the daycare and 'Oh, look how big you've gotten'" thing. I think there was some other stuff I missed this time through anyway. I accidentally deleted my save and was trying to play through the whole thing again
As Chris says - no, because that's the name Pixie picked for herself. Bearing in mind she likely wasn't very old at the time, and she's not super-bright, and there doesn't appear to be any other pixies in existence right now (weird, right?).
Also, the act of picking her name was the first independent act Pixie had committed. Remember that Morgana never bothered to give her a "public" name, apparently because she considered Pixie to be a mistake.
Finally, it would just get confusing if people kept calling Pixie something else when talking to each other and reporting bugs and glitches and requests to me ;P
Can't really play that often anymore because I moved out of my parents place to live with my best pal and I can't bring my PC with me, but I'm glad to see the game coming along so well 😁
Can't wait to have a place for myself to place all my games!
so I noticed that when you use hidden voices on Gwen in Act 2, it shows her in the wheelchair which is a huge spoiler for people. I thought I should just let you know.
In Act Two, once you can leave the manor, click on the Heart icon in the top right (with the top bar visible - click the arrow on the left to enlarge/minimise) and then click on the icon of the girl you want to check out :)
As Chris said, translations will be added but not until the main story is completed. Unfortunately my bi-weekly update schedule and my habit of going back over old code and dialogue to fix, tweak and repair, means that trying to translate the game in realtime would be almost impossible. Sorry!

In v0.19.7 character titles were temporarily removed. I want to know, when will character titles be added back?
It's not a priority at the moment, and the titles were rather universally disliked. If and when they're brought back they'll be toggleable in the Preferences :P
Ok so i got something for you mister developer, and i hope to god you'll see this cause i got an idea on how the final true power of the player should be called and how i think it would work based on your info so far about it.

So, what control does. Well to explain and understand it as i do i need you (reader) to imagine that the victim's mind and personality controls the actions of the body, so imagine those being a circle. What happens when the character uses "Control" on a victim is that his power goes inside their conciousness and interacts with the circle, bending it slightly. Very, very slightly.

Here things get interesting, because after being far away from Pixie in the Organization hideout the character breaks through a part of the limiter artifact thing and can now use 2 different powers. One being "Shatter" (which as gramps says is a subdivision of the character's true power, remember this because its important) and the other one being "Awaken" (which as i see it it is a buffed down version of the character's true power and it also has the need to know a strong aspect about the victim)

And if the character doesnt have or doesnt use enough strength then he cant do anything to the victim. And after he uses shatter, the conciousness becomes empty (if the circle is completely erased) or theres more space (if the circle still is slightly present) and then the character can input a new shape into the conciousness that he can pilot and make it do as he wants, and he has complete control over the shape he makes, but this means he literally makes the victim a robot or mindless doll that can only do as asked of the character. If theres still a part of the past self of the victim, that that part can still do some normal things like feel certain emotions, but it doesnt have enough power to actually do something against the character (if the shatter is succesfull, even if only slightly). Later, when the fey assassin goes inside Chloe, now the assassin can control Chloe more and can even make her say things, but still she cant make her do something against the character, meaning that when she entered her body, she went into the conciousness and empowered whatever small remains of Chloe's erased circle there still were, but she wasnt stronger than the character, and so she cant freely pilot Chloe's body.
And now, awaken. This one is more interesting. Ok, so, now i want you to imagine the circle split into many parts, some big and some very small, those parts being the needs and wants of the victim, or their desires. A bigger desire means a bigger part of the circle it occupies. And for the character to use awaken he needs to find the biggest part of the circle and know what it represents. And then he uses awaken on a victim and the power goes inside the conciousness. There, it "makes a deal" with the conciousness that in exchange for satisfying that part of the circle, the conciousness gives full control to the awaken power (and so the character) of that part of the circle. And then the awaken power corrupts that part, and as the character satisfies that part of the circle more, the corruption grows and occupies more of the circle.

Then, a black and purple light shoots out of his finger and goes inside the boss of the organisation's mind (which i dont remember the name of and so ill call him Max, i dont know, its the first name that came to mind, and it sounds kinda menacing i guess.....) Then, after a second Max kneels down and says: "I live to serve you my lord, i will obey any order you give me." Then he looks up to his master, the character, with an evil smirk and says: "Do you wish for me to kill these plebians that dare oppose you my master?" Then the Character says: "No, my subject. But i do have a task for you. Go among my allies and protect them with your life, and order your troops to do so aswell (troops being the whole organisation which of course are there since thats why they are strong, they have strength in numbers and tech) (Side Note: I will assume the fact that after the character gains his strength he somehow magically already knows how it works and stuff like that so i can simplify things a bit. Also, ill finish the story then ill explain how i think corrupt should work). Then Max orders his troops to circle all of the allies of the character, but they try to fight back because they want to accompany the character, believing he isnt strong enough to take everyone down by himself (and how wrong they are). Among the crowd Gwen says: "My Love! Please let us help you! You cant take them down alone! Please, ill give my life so you can win, but please let me do so! (i know Gwen is in a wheelchair, but i think she's still be there even if she cant fight, she couldnt allow herself to not accompany the character in what she still thinks may be his last moments, because she believes he doesnt have a chance at winning). Then Max angrily says: "How dare you impose the fact that master cant win! He is allpowerfull, allknowing and a god that walks among us lowlives! Everyone should bow down to him, and they will after he shows them his majestic power as he has shown me, he will show them the light and they will bend to his will! He Will Win!" And then the character says: "Silence! I do not want my subjects to fight among themselves! You shall see that i will win this, and i will alone, i do not want to put you in harms way anymore than i have done already Gwen and everybody else. Now watch on and see how my true power takes down my foes!". Then, the crowd starts cheering on the character as they now believe in his strength. Then, Morgana and the Eldritch jump up towards the character trying to attack him, and he teleports from their way, leaving them to attack each other. Then, he says in a commanding and menacing voice: "These lowlives believe they can fight me, how foolish. I shall show you the light and bring you to salvation, as i am a merciful god. Now then, CORRUPT!" He shouts out and then two more black and purple lights shoot out of his hands and enter the bodies of both Morgana and the Eldritch, and after a few second of the character pushing his power inside them, they finally break and then they kneel infront of them, both saying at the same time: "We have been brought to salvation, our lord. We see we have been foolish to oppose you, if you wish we shall take our lives as repentance for our foolish behavior" Then both Morgana and the Eldritch bring their hands to their chests towards their hearts and wait for their lords response. The character then says in a commanding loud tone: "No, my subjects. You have been foolish, yes. And you have brought me pain, yes, but i am merciful, i forgive mistakes as long as you serve me and never oppose me again." then both Morgana and the Eldritch look up at the character and say on queue: "We shall our lord! We will repent our whole lives and serve you with our very own being! We will make sure no one ever opposes you ever again! How merciful and forgiving of you to let us server you, we will give our all to bringing only joy to you!" and then they bow again. And yeah, thats how i picture the last fight ending. It is to my liking because i really love a short fight where the main character just obliderates his enemy. This is my style so yeah. So, now to get to how corrupt works.
Well, picture it like this. First, as i said, when the character casts corrupt a black and purple light shoots out of his hand and enters the body of the victim. Then, it goes to their conciousness. (Side note, im lazy, so ill explain how this power works only at full strength. I even have an excuse for it. The character can only use Corrupt when he uses all of his strength, otherwise he can only use his previous powers. Yup, thats why) And then we reach the circle. There, the magical power of the corrupt power of the character completely takes over the circle, shaping and molding itself around it. Then, it destroys the circle and then the corrupt energy power replaces it, remaining in the same shape but it also gives the character the ability to mold it to his will, in whatever way he wishes, but it being the same shape as the original circle means that the victim still acts as itself, only it serves the character with all of their being. As we saw at the awaken power, the reason for this being that now all of the circle represents only one desire, serving the character.
Thats it. Thats how i see the final true power of the character being introduced, being named and also how i see it working. I hope to god the creator will see this, i really loved your game man and i hope youll at least read my idea. Maybe even consider taking notes from it........ if it isnt too much to hope...... yeah you get it. Alright, my fingers hurt like hell so thats it folks. Hope you like my idea. Peace out!

Anybody else having a problem with downloading? I've tried twice but there's something wrong with my download speed
Someone on the Discord server (maybe you?) was saying that Itch downloads were behaving weirdly for them, too. Might be that Itch's server had the hiccups - try the Patreon or Subscribestar links if Itch still isn't working for you :)
Thanks for the help and no, that wasn't me. I don't go on discord
"Corrupted kingdoms was closed because this app has an error"
any solution?
Unfortunately I don't speak that language so I don't know what the error message actually is. Could be a lack of storage space, could be a corrupted download, could be your phone is out of date or is running incompatible hardware or could be that your phone needs to be fully powered down and restarted.
Thanks for the translation! :)
Sounds like you're running a translated version perhaps, NERDYNERDY. Those aren't official and I can't provide either support or fixes for them, I'm afraid.
Boys and girls, haven't played game for a year or so
At that moment there were no scenes with Morgana(is it her name? our first antagonist) except the one where she was having a good time on her throne. Are there any more content with this lady today?
nope might come in a couple of updates since more content should be added in the war arc and that's the arc we are in
I’d say there’s still quite a wait to get it on with the tree bitch.
Mainly because she’s sort of like a main boss.
She won’t go down easily, nor soon.
How do I unlock Roxy and Chloe last clothing?
For roxy you need to go with her on a trip to the base after you already completed everything, you can find a cloth dispenser there that unlocks the military outfit
for chloe idk
Chloe's is her Halloween costume. Find her with your room decorated for Halloween and watch the scene with her and Alice.
Hey, when I updated my game I lost my entire gallery and it would be nice to have the new scenes in the gallery for a change, thanks anyway.
There’s a cheat in the laptop to unlock the gallery.
And initially the gallery was only for non-repeatable scenes.
But now technically all of the act 2 scenes are non repeatable…
It isn’t a priority to put all the scenes in the gallery, so that’ll happen later.
Thank you! Helps a lot!
joiplay cant RUN
... check your suscribestar page(make sure to look at it as a potential player (e.g.: don't login as owner), there has been a habit of setting the public release under lock and key. I know it is available elsewhere but, I thought you would like to know........ ("A bridge of learning" EXAMPLE ) (and several more)
That has happened a few times, no one really bothered to report that mishap.
Either way, not like it matters now since 0.20.1 went public and the 0.20.0 links go down when that happens. As do any other older versions.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t happen too often if the future.
I understand your viewpoint but if it is not brought to attention, it could happen in succession, luckily there are sites like this. I just hope Arc is able to read it and realize the error and not have it be repeated.
When next update?? :"v
Public releases will now be the Monday after the supporter release.
Meaning that 0.20.2 will come the 23rd this month.
And for the record, Arc. You could’ve made like a public announcement in regards of the schedule change. There are some folks that still don’t know you’ve gone bi-weekly.
Won’t expect you to do that each time you take a break, but I also don’t expect you to change the scheduling too often. This is a relatively major change.
And yeah. My PSA ain’t worth shit since people won’t scroll down.
People also don’t read the entire patchnotes.
I know I don’t read the bottom bit most of the time because it’s often summarised into “Updates continue as normal” i.e next week or so.
Because as we've seen, people totally read my announcement posts and never ask questions on things I have publicly announced :P
so is Gwens “Yandere” mode thing like bad? Cuz I don’t wanna shit myself while playing a porn game…
She won’t hurt you or people you care about.
That would make you unhappy and she only wants to see you happy.
She is a bit of a creepy stalker nonetheless.
oh ok then, thanks
Will there be future updates to best goblin's training robot?
Was kinda curious about how that was going to progress.
Yes, Lomeg will return. You don't think Lyx is going to pass up the chance to battle test it in a real war, do you? ;)
"
Lomeg explodes. All your comrades flee and you are overwhelmed by the opposite forces.
THE END
"
the only true ending
I can't seem to find the fey merchant - I'm hearing that they should show up on the property list, but I see no such option, and as far as I can tell I need them in order to buy a steel casing and progress.
If none of that made sense, I'm trying to construct the bomb. I can't find the steel casing. I've finished every other main girl's questline, and can't progress the church or the fey questlines until I construct the bomb.
Yeah, I don’t remember the exact trigger for it, but when you go to Jessica’s office she mentions that the Field is for sale.
And after buying it you find the merchant there.
I thought I'd bought it already - I hadn't, I must have forgotten about it. Thanks!
When is v0.20.2 Public Release?
Yeah, people don’t read the patchnotes or my PSA. Wish Arc would communicate these things a little better.
Now public will release one week after the supporter release.
0.20.2 went for supporters the 16th, it will come public the 23rd.
Nobody read the patch notes, your PSA or the Discord announcement. How exactly do you think I should communicate these things better? Break into people's homes and yell at them? :P
YES.
3 AM: >Sleeping in bed
>Startled from sleep to the sound of breaking glass
>Look over to the bedroom door
>Shadowy figure looming in the doorframe
"Your porn is ready, asshat."
>Figure vanishes in the night
>Lay awake all night with the knowledge that he'll be back again in a few weeks
I mean, if ya gonna break the window every two weeks, you could at least update the game for me while your here XD
T they'd have to make a shadowclone jutsu spell to let everyone know on time. *Gasp*... Shadowporn Jutsu: thousand years of hard-on!
Ngl, I laughed WAY too hard at that.
So I went back to a pre act3 save and was able to unlock the flying bar but even though I completed all fights and conversations I still haven't triggered an event to get past the blockades. What am I doing wrong😭🙏🥺 please explain?
Assuming you updated and aren’t in a version where it’s impossible.
You have to take over the Old Club to be able to clear the roadblock.
Old Club doesn’t appear initially in the map, you have to interact with the outskirts icon and talk to Jessica about it.
Old club was one of the first things I did. It didn't show up as a boss fight. I conquered the mansion and then it let me try the old club when I tried to go to the outskirts.
So, not sure if doing something wrong or what. I originally played this game on Android last year and backed up from saves from then. Now I reinstalled it on another android device and moved my backed up saves to the save folder. Every time I try to load those saves, it crashes. Am I going to have to start over?
Previous android device was on Android 12 and so is the current android device
It looks like you moved the files to the wrong location, or didn't grab everything you needed to. The engine is attempting to find something that it expects to be a zip file, and it isn't.
That being said, it might be something else, but the important information is actually at the bottom of the traceback (that image you screenshotted) :P So if you could show me the entire traceback that would help to narrow down the issue.
I see. Maybe it's how I backed them up(just uploaded the .save files) and how I put them into the "saves" folder (just downloaded from where I backed them up and moved them to that folder. Thanks for helping however you can, I appreciate it.
Here's the bottom part of the message.
Okay, well this is weird because the code appears to be trying to pull from the Linux build..? Which if you're on Android, and not using any apps like JoiPlay, doesn't make any sense.
All I can really suggest at this point is to make sure that you did in fact copy everything from:
Android/data/com.domain.corruptedkingdoms/saves
And that you're putting everything back into that exact folder, with no extra subfolders or nesting or anything going on.
Failing that, completely uninstalling the game (making sure to keep your old saves) and reinstalling it again might clear up whatever the issue is...
Sorry I can't be more help, but this is something happening on an engine level, not a game level, and my knowledge of the underlying Ren'py code is practically non-existent :P
Huh. That's definitely weird. Well, all I did, when I had the previous phone, was back up the save files. Just the save files.
Actually, I think I found the reason for this mess...
Looking at the files where I backed them up, they are 0KB big. So something seems to have messed up when I uploaded them.
Guess I'll just have to start over 😅
I appreciate you trying to help, though!
yeah that 0kb sounds as corrupted files sad
Oof, yeah, the 0kb thing means they got corrupted during transfer somehow - that's a shame!
If you don't feel like starting again, you can jump into the CK Discord Server; there's a start-of-Act-Three pinned in the #game-chat channel :)
I feel like there might be some people that don’t quite read the patchnotes (I’m one of them)
PSA: Change in update schedule.
So a few months ago Arc changed the schedule from an update each week to one update every two weeks.
The change seems to have stuck, development will go forward with this scheduling.
Also the public releases will be delayed 4 days. Supporter release on a Monday and the next week’s Monday it goes public.
What this means is that - for example - 0.20.2 that released for supporters the 16th of October will go public the following Monday (23rd of October)
How do I get more elixir in act 3
Bridge.
Game tells you.
Please, I'm still stuck at the roadblocks and have done every single thing available. It's been several days, but I still can't access the content at the bar. Please help 😭🙏
I'm assuming you've been using the AutoWin option for every fight? You need to make sure that you're running the latest version, and then get into another battle (AutoWin or not, doesn't matter - I patched the glitch) and then sleep until you get Lily's event.
As for the roadblock, what are you stuck on? You just have to reach it, search it, conquer the new Old Club location that appears and then return to the roadblock to clear it.
So I conquered it, and completed all fights and conversations. I'll try that fight thing, though. Will a training fight work?
I don't think training fights will work, as I think I designed them to restore your health after you were done, but maybe..?
A guaranteed way to get it to work would be to switch your meals (via Hana in the kitchen) to "Caviar on Toast" which gives you a 50% chance of your territories being attacked by Org Goons.
I'm really confused in act 3. I can't progress past the blockades. Someone help please ?🥺
Came for the porn, stayed for the story and feels. Keep on the good work! This game is already incredibly interesting and I hope it's only going to get better)
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Solo devs live on positive feedback, so I really appreciate it :)
Hol' up... solo? All this done by one soul? Story, models, scenes, all of it? Bravo.
TOMORROW IS THE DAY!!!
Yep!
Only for supporters, though. 23rd for non-supporters, I'm afraid! :P
Returned to the game after a few months and found too much refreshing content!
But found a small problem, simply because my English is not good enough to keep up with my brain's processing speed.....
And no one in China has tried to publish Chinese translations publicly yet, so I usually use an OCR software + translation software to make it less painful for me to play lol
but after the update I found that the fonts have become very ..... Artistic (I'd like it more if I could read it haha), but the new fonts behave very differently from the others, so it's hard to be recognized by OCR.
Sorry to bother you with non-gameplay aspects, but I'm still wondering if there's a feature to change the fonts and font sizes later on. to make it easier for me or more people who use this translation tool to play? Very much looking forward to your reply.
Under letter A on k-board are some text options, try to change fonts, maybe it will help.
Wow, thank you so much for your help, now the problem is solved！
One of if not the best game of it's kind i've played. You've got me hooked on the story, can't wait for more. Take my money.
Aww, thank you! I Really appreciate that! :) New updates every two weeks, so I hope you like what I've got planned!
I have a question, how can I give the relic that the girl from the Church asks for?, and in the war when I access Fenix or Tank, a line of codes appears, is there something involved with the lore? (Translation made by Google Translate).
You can't do anything with the relic yet. And I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean by "Fenix" and "Tank". There's nothing like that in Act Three.
Talking about the bunker in Roxy’s world.
Answer’s still the same, no content about that in act 3.
any cheat on the game ?
After reaching act 2, you can use the laptop to cheat money and unlock the gallery.
If you decide to use save editors and such, don’t come complaining to us when shit inevitably breaks.
how do you explore the bridge? I conquered everything in the town and the goons still kick me out.
You conquer the bridge, either get rid or gain the loyalty of the girl there and explore it during the night.
Some story stuff, you can’t cross it but you can do something else.
How can I upgrade my dice permanently? I don't feel that the old bar's fight is fair
After conquering the bridge and trying to cross it you unlock a way to upgrade your dice from 4-sided to 6-sided.
Makes the battles easier… But yeah Ophelia is still a tough nut to crack.
I'm sorry dawg, but this combat is absolutely terrible.
don't mean to be rude lad but uh...could'a just kept that to yourself there mate...IDK if you've ever designed a game like this but it can be quite hard to do so.
It shouldn't matter if they designed a game or not, that doesn't mean he can't leave a review, as that's the entire purpose of user reviews intended for dev feedback. For example most judges on competitions don't always know how to do whatever talent or sport they're reviewing, this isn't true for all cases though. so Troupert is absolutely in the right to release his opinion as a review, regardless of popular opinion
fair enough
Funny, I made another comment praising the game and saying its one of the best I've played. Hop off my dick
Interesting comment
Even though i like the battle system
I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not, but my MC had one of the kids pretty shortly before the transition to act 3, and she never made it to being a toddler like the rest. Will she still pop up as a bigger kid eventually, or is she stuck as a baby.
She dead.
Now for real, the pregnancy system is effectively frozen when you transition into act 3.
Arc didn’t have the time to cover all edge cases. Going forward he might force people to stay in act 2 until the kids have grown up.
Could probably skip to the toddler phase and act like nothing happened, it did pass almost 3 months in game or so.
The problem with that is:
1. It skips the naming phase, necessitating a redesign of the pregnancy system.
2. I would have to include a "meeting your kid for the first time" scene in the reuniting scene, which would be extremely clunky and awkward
3. I would have to account in all lead-up dialogue for the fact that MC wouldn't know for sure if he had a kid or not with that particular girl, or where the kid actually was
4. If a girl gave birth during the war, while MC was in a coma or presumed dead (some girls think he's dead, remember) they would almost certainly give the kid to Artifact for safe keeping, which would make it impossible to retrieve the kid as you wouldn't have named them.
All in all, it's much simpler to just have the MC say in Act Two: "I should wait until all my kids are born before I kick off this thing with the church. Who knows what might happen?" :)
Here's a question... not including the girls who can get pregnant now before Act 3, if you added that for other girls later would they have to get preggers before Act 3? Basically would you have to restart the game for any girls who can't get pregnant at the moment, if you added it for them?
Most of the side girls will be able to get pregnant in Act Two and probably Act Three as well once that point is reached.
That will happen when the game enters beta, though, and everyone will be strongly encouraged to start the game again once the beta period nears completion/gold release is done as the entire game will be getting a facelift and a code refurbishment just to make everything as shiny as possible before I declare it done :)
The baby was born, in my case, I just didn't wait until the "visiting them at the daycare and 'Oh, look how big you've gotten'" thing. I think there was some other stuff I missed this time through anyway. I accidentally deleted my save and was trying to play through the whole thing again
So basically, I have a child in the registry and everything, who is stuck as a baby. Cool, I guess I have to go back through. Here we go again
Could you develop an update with the ability to rename Pixie? Since “Pixie” is just a name of that species
No.
I mean, 99% sure that Arc’s answer will be no.
Names have meaning.
Pixie is a name, but why is a pixie named Pixie?
Probably because that’s the name she picked and she’s not the sharpest crayon in the lunchbox.
As Chris says - no, because that's the name Pixie picked for herself. Bearing in mind she likely wasn't very old at the time, and she's not super-bright, and there doesn't appear to be any other pixies in existence right now (weird, right?).
Also, the act of picking her name was the first independent act Pixie had committed. Remember that Morgana never bothered to give her a "public" name, apparently because she considered Pixie to be a mistake.
Finally, it would just get confusing if people kept calling Pixie something else when talking to each other and reporting bugs and glitches and requests to me ;P
Its just amazing.
I mean all the caracters are damn hot, the story is amazing!
You can spent so fcking much time in this game, it seems to be endless! Really recmment this to everyone!+
Thanks, I'm really glad you're enjoying it! :) Updates are bi-weekly, so I hope you enjoy everything I have planned for the future!
Bro, so much updates? I take back, what i sayed.
It doesent only seem to be endes, it is ednless! xD
Question with a spoiler
Can you prevent Gwen from being in the wheelchair?
Also SAVING KANA update when
Answers.
No.
Next update probably.
okay thanks
Can't really play that often anymore because I moved out of my parents place to live with my best pal and I can't bring my PC with me, but I'm glad to see the game coming along so well 😁
Can't wait to have a place for myself to place all my games!
Keep up the amazing work!
Well hey, I'm sorry to lose you (temporarily, I hope) as a player, but congratulations on moving out! That's pretty huge :)
Hope you have a great time being roomies with your best friend!
so I noticed that when you use hidden voices on Gwen in Act 2, it shows her in the wheelchair which is a huge spoiler for people. I thought I should just let you know.
Whoops.
To be fair, the hidden voices triggers aren’t exactly properly setup.
If you use the power in act 3, some character still thinking the same exact thing.
Thanks for the bug report - it's been fixed for the next update! :)
How do I see stats screens for the characters?
In Act Two, once you can leave the manor, click on the Heart icon in the top right (with the top bar visible - click the arrow on the left to enlarge/minimise) and then click on the icon of the girl you want to check out :)
I guess I haven't made it that far then. onwards I go.
Add language pt/br pls
No.
I mean, translations won’t be made until the main story is completed.
As Chris said, translations will be added but not until the main story is completed. Unfortunately my bi-weekly update schedule and my habit of going back over old code and dialogue to fix, tweak and repair, means that trying to translate the game in realtime would be almost impossible. Sorry!
Anyone else have an issue with the math in battles? 3+2 is not 4 but thats what I keep getting
Also the battle dice is incredibly annoying
Because your dice is D4, only having 1 2 3 4 four numbers. If you can upgrade it into D6, the maximum will be 6.
