It sounds like your device is struggling to parse incoming data efficiently. This could be due to low memory, faulty drivers, poor CPU or any number of things, I'm afraid.

The only things I can suggest off the top of my head are:

1.  Try freeing up more memory
2.  Fully power down your device, leave it for a minute, then turn it back on again
3.  If you're on PC, shut down all high-RAM-usage programs (such as Chrome)

Sorry I can't be more help!

You save your game by right-clicking and then clicking on the slot you want to save your game to (or, if you're on Android, you tap the "save" text at the top of the screen).

Updates never delete saves. Making sure saves are always compatible between versions is a big priority of mine. The game will automatically transfer saves to the new version each time :) 

There's always going to be sacrifices made when you're a solo dev on a weekly update schedule, but I don't believe that means that you shouldn't extend yourself and try new things.

(Also, the complaint about lack of story content isn't new - it was a constant gripe in Act Two, as well, when some people felt I was focused too much on side content and not enough on main story content. Everyone has a preferred pace, and it's always different to the next person's).

As more districts are conquered, and more of the map opens up, story events will begin to be revealed - and certain events will tie back into the story mode in the form of increased stats, new recipes, buffs and skills and so on. Currently only six districts are conquerable, and none of them contain large "story nodes" like the college, which is why it feels like the story content has slowed. This is all necessary setup, though, to ensure that there is enough space - and enough tools - to allow for the story events to take place.

That being said, I fully understand if some people are finding the updates not as appealing, or want more story content, and in those cases I would strongly suggest that you pretend CK is like most other games and releases every couple months. You'll find there's a lot more to sink your teeth into in each update if you do :)

The story isn't on pause - there have already been a few story elements introduced, such as Chastity's appearance - but in order to access the story areas like the college you have to conquer the district that they're in, first :)

More and more of these story moments will begin to pop up as more of the map is conquered and new events can be unlocked (and then intersect with other areas). The systems are designed to work together, such that combat unlocks story and story events can grant things to help in combat.

It's just taking me a little while to get there, as I'm only one man and these are brand-new systems that require a little love and care before I can think of them as "done" :P

Look, it is an interesting option for either gangbanging a girl without sharing or taking care of multiple girls at once.

But the problem is that the power itself could end up being too overpowered, for either combat or other story elements.

Sawano knows how to make “shadow clones”, she technically could teach us.

But it’s hard to justify it lorewise.

What Chris said :)  I agree it would be a fun visual, but unfortunately it comes with a few mechanical, lore and story concerns. For example, if MC can clone himself:

1.  It turns all combat encounters into easy mode (he can just manifest a small army at will)

2.  He would use them for tactical reconnaissance and ambushes, functionally removing any chance of anyone ambushing him (he would have left a few hidden outside the church just in case, which would have completely changed the finale)

3.  He would use them to swarm across the warmap, capturing six territories at once and leaving the opposing factions absolutely reeling.

4.  He would almost certainly trick everyone into believing that one of the clones was the "real" MC and then hide so he could keep generating more versions of himself in safety whilst the clones took all the risks.

5.  He would have left a few in the Council demesnes too.

6.  Given all the above, I would have to keep changing perspectives and scenes and give players the ability to jump to different clones.

Even if I give him weaknesses - such as the clone power is diminished, or they can't use powers, or there's a maximum range, it is still a massively overpowered ability because it's external to other people. Currently MC is limited in that his powers are used on others, so if they're protected, or mentally strong, he's in trouble... the strength of a clone is not affected by other people, though.

Finally, it would turn the game from a mind control game to a shadow clone game, as in Act Three it's an infinitely more useful ability than Awaken or Shatter :P

There's a reason Naruto used it all the freaking time ;)

(Oh, and to anyone who's thinking "but Sawano can do all those things!"... yes. Yes, she can. Makes you think, doesn't it..?)

Arc isn’t doing that intentionally.

There’s a method of uploading the game to itch.io that makes people using the launcher able to update the game easier.

Sometimes it may randomly decide to put the APK inside a zip. Arc has no reason to intentionally do that.

If you can’t be arsed to unzip the file. Just check Patreon or Subscribestar and use the public release links from there. They’re the same version that itch.io gets.

Don't do it, Typo Hero! Whatever you think you've figured out, you haven't! Honest! Would I lie to you?

Which man in particular? There's a few of them in the game... I hope you don't mean Tom! Stoopid Tom... ;)

You know what doesn't feel wrong?  Little baby bunnies. ♥

Confirmed, though... as soon as it was built, it already had all the goons I had sent there rehabilitating.

There already have been story updates, and will be more in the future, but we have to unlock the map to GET to them.  Right now we need to liberate the areas that used to be our old stomping grounds so that we can do things there again.  Can't have heartfelt reunions and wholesome dates with the girls when they are under siege by enemy forces and our date spots are smoldering ruins overrun by hostile broccoli.  

It has been mentioned in the past that Chapter 3 is going to be the final installment of Corrupted Kingdoms.  This will eventually end the game (though a Corrupted Kingdoms 2 has been promised in the distant future), so yes there will be much more here than just combat.  But right now, week to week, combat is what we're getting because that's the part of the story we're in.  That's what he needs to develop to get the game world back to a state where we can have other things.

The best method for you may just be to step back for six months, go play other things, and then return here at the end of the year or next year.  At that point there will be much, much more unlocked for you to do; both combat and non-combat.  It'll definitely feel like a lot more significant and varied progress has been made.

Or you can just keep being impatient, like me, and still check the weekly updates waiting for the chance to reconnect with your favorite girls (and punch Morgana in the tit).
