so far I love the crafting system though it seems like it might need a little more work to complete. I can't seem to find a way to get leather for making weapons and armor. I have hides, I use the knife, and it displays no recipes. Beyond that I don't even like the sex system so far because I am by nature dominant and don't want to help breed a monster army to rape and enslave my own species. Still, the crafting system alone makes this game worth paying attention to in my opinion. If this doesn't work out, maybe you should try making something akin to rune factory frontier with your crafting system.

If it displays no recipes it probably means you don't have enough hides. You need at least 10 Rat Pelts or 2 Wolf Pelts or 1 Pyrodon Pelt.
Though, I'm thinking of halving the requirements for these soon!
There will be some opportunities to have your way with some enemies after defeating them instead of having them be on top all the time and one of the endings planned has the player become the new Demon Lord after usurping power from the Queen.
Thanks, sounds like I need more hides, I made a crafting character for starting so taking down a wolf is hard and I didn't think it would take 10 rat pelts to make leather..... I guess it makes sense though, tiny critters and all. I shall certainly check back and maybe I can find a way to send ya SOMETHING though I am not exactly well off atm. Also is it me or is grinding combat exp slow compared to the gathering speed? given that most combat tends to take longer and use comparable vp (more early on)... It feels like maybe you should give a bit more exp... at least in the heroic mode which I played. craft exp gain seems fine to me though.
I will make the requirements for leather lower soon, probably around Christmas!
You can also buy hides from a Hunter in Amber Wilds.
One of the reasons the Combat Exp takes longer to accumulate is because there are less Skills that use it compared to Craft Exp. I may re-balance it in the future though as this system is pretty early in development still.
Lastly, don't feel obliged to send me anything, this is mostly a passion project for me that I enjoy working on :)
