Corrupted Kingdoms (NSFW 18+)
WEEKLY RELEASE - v0.19.0a!
The weekly update has been released!
This week it's a huge upgrade to the Rehabilitation Centre! Now you must lead the girl's therapy session and complete a unique event to get them to join your side! For reasons of filesize and workload, all one-shot girls (such as the Boss Girls) are assigned a "speech style" rather than individual dialogue, but there are elements of individuality in each one so I hope everyone can still have fun with it! Also, you can now choose what recruits will call you, engage in practice squad battles and AUTO-WIN ALL YOUR FIGHTS (if you want)! I hope you enjoy! :)
NOTE: I will be taking my once-every-two-or-three-months break next week so there will be no update until the 12th of June, at which point weekly updates will start up again!
KNOWN ISSUES: Due to the necessity of changing the User Interface some screens (such as the skill, inventory, fighter and crafting screens) haven't had a UI pass and look kinda janky. All this will be fixed in the next few updates, so please bear with me until then. Thank you!
CHANGELOG:
- Rehabilitation Centre: Rehabilitation system has been upgraded! Now instead of merely waiting the one week, you must interact with the girl and lead her therapy session. At the end, you will have to visit her home district for a unique event, after which she will be recruitable and given the "rehabilitated" mental state!
- Rehabilitation Centre: You can now send girls that you broke in the dungeon to therapy! (changes their mental state from "broken" to "rehabilitated"). NOTE: the "broken" mental state isn't applied retroactively due to coding limitations. Only girls you break from this update onwards will have the "broken" or "shattered" mental state. Sorry! You can still send everyone to therapy, though!
- Rehabilitation Centre: You can now admit girls directly into therapy from the rehab centre. No need to go via the dungeon!
- Rehabilitation Centre: You can now choose what recruits (such as the Boss Girls) will call you (default: "Master")!
- War Room: New "Battle options" choice under "Prepare for battle": allows you to auto-win all your battles! For people who just want to enjoy the story and not have to engage with the combat system
- War Room: New "Squad Fight" under the "practice battle" option, for people who want to try out morale-affecting skills or see what new squads look like
- Speech System: A new speech system has been coded and makes its debut with this release! This is all "under the hood" stuff, but it should make introducing new characters significantly faster AND allow them to be summoned for conversation and naughtiness ANYWHERE (in future updates)!
- Misc: Went through the paperdoll code and massively streamlined it. This will make creating and displaying paperdoll variants (including nudes!) much easier going forward!
- Misc: New "under the hood" system for storing individual character data (such as their mental state) that will allow for a lot more nuanced interactions going forward!
- Misc: Testing out a system that will allow paperdolls to remain on-screen even when someone else is talking. Only used in therapy sessions right now, but if it works I'll spread it to the other events too.
- Bug: Left the TEST FIGHT option from dev testing in the war room... whoops!
- Bug: You could send Goons to the rehabilitation centre before it was built. Now they actually have to wait for construction to be done, first!
- Bug: You could re-recruit Boss Girls when roleplaying in the dungeon with them. No more cloning! It ruined Spider-man...
- Bug: The blade plunges deep into Typo Hero's chest and the world... cracks... falling away in green shards which shatter against the cold marble floor... of the Dread Arc's tower!

So does the transparent animations mean less paper dolls and more traditional character images like in act 1 and 2?
No, the opposite.
Now the animations are paperdolled.
Great work with the combat system. I just have a few issues/ questions.
1. I've tried looking at MC/frontline fighter's stats but there never there in battle, and the arrow in the tutorial just points to nothing.
2. Is there any way to upgrade MC? I've leveled him up a few times but he's still weak and consistently weaker then the boss girls you recruit.
While these issues are not a huge deal, it just kinda bugs me sometimes. But still, this is one of the best games in the genre ever. Keep up the fantastic work
Feedback is appreciated.
You can actually see the stats if you click on the names at the top corners of the screen, it’s hidden by default.
Currently you can +1 your Arcane by exploring around The Glades after conquering it. And you can also +1 Physical by building and using the training field in The Glades.
Updates will return next week, Arc is currently on his once-every-two-months break.
Yo any chance for Sawano to be one of the main girls in future updates?
Uhhhh. Nope.
No more main girls, sadly.
17, no more no less.
Which annoys me to no end that it has to be a damned prime number. There’s an empty space there, when it could’ve easily been either 16 on a 4x4 grid or 18 in a 3x6 grid.
But no, no more main girls.
Some characters will be pseudo-main girls. Claire is one of them, not sure if there will be more.
Every girl can be a main girl in your heart. ♥
...but not in the game's code. :(
I started redoing the whole conquest with this update because of the changed mechanics, so that means I've had a chance to go back and notice some of Typo Hero's crimes that have gone unthwarted (or perhaps were introduced with the speech system change).
Anyway, while "breaking" Chelsea, MC says "You're getting of on this", instead of "off on this".
I'm also able to send girls from the dungeon to Northern Light before it's built.
Also, this image popped up when I defeated Terri:
Terri and Tammi also inhabit the same space for most of the fight.
Yeah, last update was a bit of a crunch for Arc, lots of mishaps here and there.
That line with Chelsea, I’ll blame Grammarly, it didn’t mark it as a typo for some damn reason when I was doing a full dialogue sweep.
I’ll check if the northern lights thing was reported or not, few versions back you could seen goons before it was built, but forgot to check sending girls from the dungeon.
Terri does have some missing sprites, that was reported. Also Tammi doesn’t know personal space, yes.
Just wanted to make sure I reported what I found, in case they'd gotten missed elsewhere. It's hard to fix bugs you don't see.
Don’t worry, it’s cool.
Usually you get help faster and make sure people see the bug reports by joining the discord server.
But I make my round here every now and then.
A few things i recently noticed.
1. Gwen only patrols at the evenings on weekdays, leaving weekends vulnerable on front door
2. When backtracking using the scroll wheel while a portrait is pulled up, the portrait lingers where is not supposed to be at. (e.g. Rachel's portrait appearing on the rehabilitation center outside scene when you backtrack after you call for her portrait to appear).
Edit: so far confirmed only works on visiting boss girls in the rehab center. Other characters are fine
CORRECTION: EVERYONE IS NOW RACHEL LMAO (replaces
somemost portraits)Yeah, Arc has been running some tests in order to keep the characters in the screen during the scene.
Unintended side effects and bugs were expected.
hey dude, how you take this scene? I am in a point where i cant progress, and cant interact with the boss girls to take they outside the dungeon (think i make a shit selecting ''recruit to the team'') and i cant do anything, and balieve, i tried
anyway, forgive my english, learning =)
Genuinely curious if there's plans to be able to control morgana in the near future. Any estimate on when that time will come or what act it'll be part of (If you're willing to share of course)?
Not near future, I’m afraid.
She’s kind of the main boss of the Fey faction, so don’t expect her becoming an ecological cum dumpster any time soon.
It will happen, just not exactly soon.
Arc doesn’t give specific deadlines either. So, maybe in a year?
Ecological cum Dumpster lmao, thats what i will be calling morgana now.
I mean, she’s a tree?
Or part tree?
Who knows at this point, she certainly doesn’t give waifu vibes and it would be too merciful to kill her in my opinion.
So I guess I’ll just tie her up, put her in a pot to then fill and/or cover in cum.
I don’t know how many electrolytes are in jizz, but she’s going to be definitely craving it soon enough.
Thank you for the Auto my bro i was struggling with the battles for some reason so i have mad respect for you
My pleasure - I'm glad it helped! :)
Thank you again for the auto-win implementation, Arc! <3
Really excited to continue!
Happy to help! :)
thank you so much for the auto win
My pleasure :)
"The Dread Arc's tower?" Does this mean that Arc is the villain in Typo Hero's story? How dare you Arc!
Typo Hero is my nemesis! He's the hero of typos! Of course I want him dead!
The gyros of tapas? Sounds delicious!
Always has been.
Probably already reported, but... when trying to help Old Town for Ophelia's therapy, the background changes to the one for Hillside development as you head towards the duel. Intentional, or is the code playing tricks on you?
Edit: Happened in Riverview Apartments as well when helping out Rachel.
Edit 2: Also happened in The Glades... now I'm getting suspicious, is this some weird thing that happens everywhere after you finish Hazel's storyline? Hmm.
Yeah, all reported and fixed for the next update - thanks :)
Isn't this the 2nd time typo hero died?
He hasn't died once yet... worse luck (grumbles)
Been spending a lot of time there lately for SOME reason, and I've got to say... rehab center is very pretty at night. ^_^
...also, I now know why I'm constantly having to procure more apple juice. o_o
You game devs have really got to stop giving me the ability to choose what people call me. "Am I sure I want them to call me Cobra Commander?" Morons! There are morons on my payroll! "Am I sure I want them to call me Bancho?" *dramatic pose* "Am I sure I want them to call me His Imperial Majesty?" Fetch me my tea! "Am I sure I want them to call me Prince Vultan?" Oh well, who wants to live forever? HAHAHAHAHA! DIIIIIIIIIVE!
Glad you like it! And yeah, my objective is to inspire as much choice paralysis as possible in people so their progress is slowed and they think each update contains more content. Now who's the Cobra Commander!? BWA-HAHAHAHAHA!
Truly nefarious! D:
...you realize, now, that I'm going to have to first break all the girls in the dungeon and THEN send them to rehab, so that I can see as much content as possible, right? :P
I already auto-win all my fights, just by showing up. :P No need to turn that system on. But I suppose it's nice for people who don't like clicking icons over and over (and over and over [and over and over {and over}]).
Did I compliment your new battlefield artwork yet? I feel like I didn't. REALLY digging the Chrono Trigger / Secret of Mana look this time around!
You sure are making a lot of improvements under the hood! Very impressive! :D
You can always just rehab them and then summon them to the dungeon to roleplay the breaking!
Auto-win was a request by a player here, and it was very easy to implement so I figured... why not? :)
And thanks! I'm glad you like it. Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana were huge parts of my childhood, so when the generator I was using detonated I figured now was my chance to work in something closer to those classics!
Of the available rehab stories in your Speech System, the one built on Ophelia was definitely the most fun to read, but I'd say I actually liked the one built on Noelle the best. I was constantly chuckling at her reactions and retorts, and her unique character story finish in her district was both hilarious AND tugged at all the right heart strings.
Small bug, when I finished the "check the area" thing in Northside it sent me to Hillside afterwards. Not sure if it does something similar for the others.
Should be fixed for the next update - thanks! :)
I’ve seen the term paperdoll a lot. What is it ?
The paperdolls are the full-body portraits of the characters that appear as you speak to them.
It did ruin Spider-Man, didn't it?
It did! Stoopid Clone Saga... stoopid Jackal...
Dude, how do I progress after I have conquered all the districts around the manor_ Like how do I cross the river?
Pretty sure you can't yet and it will be available in future updates.
can adding a hyphen to naming be avalable?
I can look into tweaking to code to allow for it, sure. It'll have to be after my break though, I'm afraid.
quite alright, im glad to see you’re considering it!
