Damn, that was fast. Not complaining though

I experienced the same, but thought it was an intended feature

4: the king saying that he should execute us by telling him of the vault infiltration plan. 

6: the journal telling to go to the workshop when we actually have to go to the palace.

 7: the church telling of a conflict even before any is introduced, that is, before the beginning of act I.

9: it was me selecting the wrong picture when uploading, my bad. I tried to edit, but the platform was bugged, so I posted an edit with more screenshots in a comment in the same thread

EDIT: I selected a wrong screenshot by accident, the last one has no problems whatsoever (not that I can see).  And worst of all, I can't find the screenshot that I want. My bad.

I also forgot to mention that some text overflows:

Some text also displays the tag holders [] wrongly:

The dungeon map overflow that I mentioned and a weird bug that locks me out of a dungeon:

The Lilia Marriage wrong text I mentioned:

Weird translucent sprites bug:

The inappropriate float values:

Strive: Conquest - Bugs and Suggestions

          Hello Strive4Power and everyone in the community. I come back to you with another massive review. I'd have liked to link my old one here, but I couldn't find it. The last time I played this game was one or two years ago, and I must say I am impressed with the evolution. The new training and mastery systems are great, and the story is coming around neatly. That being said, after some 50 to 100 hours of gameplay, I have noticed several bugs and things that could be easily added to the game to improve the overall experience. I shall start with the bugs.

Bugs

1. When I used a healing spell Healing Light before combat, it killed my character and gave me game over;
2. Tags being displayed in the character description;
3. {x=y|element} in the ability description;
4. Main menu window constantly open in the background;
5. Desires during Sex don't correspond to things the person is willing to do. For instance, a character that has disgust towards anal willing to be penetrated in the ass;
6. Some interfaces, like the Factor Upgrade screen, have a weird period when they can't be interacted with (select other characters, close, etc);
7. Dungeon map gets out of boundaries;
8. The game has a weird mouse input delay sometimes that made me think that the problem was my mouse, but it (mouse) works normally outside the game;
9. Sometimes number hotkeys don't work properly (pressing 3 to skip a day gives command of 1), or not at all;
10. It is said that Lilia lost her virginity to the Player even if the player don't seduce her;
11. Mae doesn't get really pregnant if you don't put her powder in the bowl (I recruited her after the ceremony);
12. Lilia's marriage refusal text is wrong;
13. Lilia's abandoned Grove hideout has rebel enemies instead of cultists;
14. If you enslave Lilith's fairy "friend", nothing happens, no new slave added;
15. Service income falls almost 10 fold out of nowhere;
16. Lira is a virgin if you recruit her, even if MC is male;
17. When trying to marry, the church mentions a conflict even before anything happens (before act I);
18. Dwarf king speaks always as if you tried to rob him;
19. Can't leave items for later in Tower of Dream;
20. Several values are in float instead of int;
21. Fixing the Scales tells wrongly in the journal to go to the workshop instead of the palace;
22. Several texts are in capital letter and without spaces.

Screenshots of some of the bugs cited:

Suggestions

1. Some mechanics, like the mastery points, need a tutorial page;
2. The log is really confusing and hard to follow. About this I'd suggest a dedicated Log tab to organize the household, similar to Masters of Raana;
3. Add what I would call a challenge class, a class that requires prerequisites, all other classes in the same branch, and a small quest to be completed. For example, if the player character has scholar, caster, arch mage, warlock, and other mage classes, and has 150 of wits, the mage guild will give a quest whose reward, among good (maybe unique) gear, is the Magus Supremus class, which not only enhances wits, spell MATK, crit, etc, but also has some unique skill/spells;
4. Add exclusive guild bonus (if player reach 25k or something of guild points, special bonus, or maybe guild ranking from associate to main collaborator. This should exist to give at least one reason to keep doing the quests after the player becomes rich;
5. Add magical, military, and crafting jobs, like enchanter and healer; guard, ranger, and soldier; tailor, blacksmith, cook, and engineer. They would be similar to services, but requiring the magical, fighting, and crafting classes instead. As of right now, aside from the few moments when one of these activities are required by the player (cooking in bulk, crafting personal armor and weapons, or upgrading the mansion), the classes are almost useless. To add even more value to this, there could be a city influence, similar to the guild points, which is gained in much slower rates by having our characters working in the city. The Aliron church could also have it's own points system, and acolytes, priests, and bishops could go to the church and give the player the popularity/influence points. This may sound like a lot of work, but is basically ctrl+c ctrl+v of the guild system with different flavor text and items. There should also be quests and faction reputation in the major centers (elven and dwarven kingdoms, beastkin village, etc). This would all serve to to upgrade market and slave market, and maybe even more rewards if the dev(s) is(are) willing. More in point 14;
6. The guilds should have an exclusive reward for joining them in the beginning:
   1. Fighters: some huge bonus to combat mechanics (like ambush mechanics or something), and special training for EVERYONE (like how you can upgrade body in Slave Market, but now with exclusive upgrades;
   2. Workers: some special upgrade to the house, special training to everyone (again, like the slave market upgrade stuff), and a special blueprint to each item type;
   3. Servants: extra lucrative service jobs, exclusive upgrades to the house, and better costumes;
   4. Wizards: magical upgrades to the house, special training to everyone, and exclusive magic body modifications or potions.
7. New Classes:
   
   1. A Master Chef class that can be bought in the Servants Guild;
   2. Magical Knight class that can imbue elements in the attacks and needs caster and Knight classes;
   3. More artistic classes beyond bard and dancer for characters not in the harlot line, like painter and sculptor. These classes give poor reward in the beginning, but raise in value with ability mastery
8. Farm produce should be usable in crafting;
9. Captured bandit chiefs should have better stats (mainly authority) and fighting classes;
10. Could make stamina costs proportional to party size, as incentive to more risky yet rewarding play style;
11. Anastasia's children should have the Renown Royalty class by default;
12. Mae should have special class Shaman of Rundas;
13. Lilia's quest writing is overall weird. Without the instructions in the jornal, the player gets lost a lot;
14. Consequences of being mayor, like being able to invest in Aliron, change taxes, better prepare/arm each guild for the cult threat or god/demon that they'll propably release in the end of the game. Maybe the city officially helping aliron chunch with food, upgrades that affect the slave market or slave quality, laws/investments that improve the merchandise in the market, the same way (and same interface, maybe) we do with our mansions. Maybe even missions like alliance/subjugation of x (x=beastkin, elves, dwarves, etc). So the player could have access to their market (maybe Build Road upgrades required, further road upgrades reduce transporting costs, hence lowering prices). If player also has personal good relations with the people in question, allow upgrades like Better Hunting Tools for Beastkin, or Better Gathering Tools for Elves, etc;
15. Show the class required for the conversation options. It makes easier to replay the scenes;
16. Great shields would be nice to have and should be craftable;
17. Implement classes exclusive to the other main locations (Elven capital, Beastkin tribe, Dwarven Capital, etc) that can be bought from them after a quest or something, maybe involving new recruitable characters;
18. Allow to rename items in the enchantment menu.

Anglae does say she's pregnant the second time we meet her though

Well that explains why we can peek on her distracting him. I did find weird that there was only a short dialogue

Oh, the spider girl. I told him not to do it. Hadn't seen that dialogue

Wait, what semen pheromone? When did he create or use it?

Yeah, aside from Eternum, the only VN in the same level I can think of is Harem Hotel. Superhuman is just too good

Came from Steam. You should have announced this game there sooner. Love your art style

Probably Anglaecwif

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD

It is stated that Deryl may still be considered technically a monster:

But when we get to the portal, it rejects everyone, including him:



So does that mean that Deryl is still a superhuman, but one who needs to go through a special type of evolution (rebirth) to further evolve, or could he evolve normally? Thinking of how he evolved normally before (his first evolution), maybe he is just wrong, or maybe this is the Twelfth's trial.

Well, yeah that makes sense, but the way WeirdWorld sounds in his lives makes me believe that he wants to end things in 1.0, mainly considering how he says that he'll do the art update among other improvements of the early game in that update specifically

You misunderstood me twice, my brother in fetishes.

Firstly, I am too a impregnation enjoyer, I just like also the pregnancy that follows and even the childcare after, if the game allows (not our case here).

Secondly, I said that we could get impregnation in the game. The way I would do if I was the writer would be something like:

Deryl: "Hey bro, I just made a fertility serum. Inject this and every girl you fuck will get pregnant."

MC: "How did you do this?"

Deryl: "You got Angelina pregnant, so we isolated the mutation that allowed her to get knocked up and replicated in the serum"

MC: "Cool" Proceeds to make an orgy with the harem*

I still have hope that by the end of the game Angelina will evolve and develop a power related to pregnancy (she will be able to be impregnated or evolve even further and be able to bestow ability to have children unto other superhumans) and thus pregnancy content enabled.

Also, no way in hell the game will be finished with only one or two updates. We have to finish the Monster World Arc, start and finish the End of the World Arc, and then go to the epilogue (consequences of our actions and the future of the world). If I were WeirdWorld, I'd finish the current arc and start the final one in the next update, take two more updates at least to finish the End of the World Arc, and then bring the epilogue (which should be easier, since it's more dialogue with already done art) in the 1.0.

In other words, updates 0.996, 0.997, 0.998, and 1.0 at least. Or not, I'm not Deus

I still have hope that in the end Angelina will evolve, develop superhuman pregnancy, and Xanthe/Deryl will be able to replicate it with every other superhuman

MC: Memory Link -> Forest of Thorns -> The A-class Cannon -> Green Lightning -> 8 Scythe at the same time -> Body cleaved in half -> Cool Power Armor -> Fighting the Immortal Monster -> Stretching

Alice: Max power Minute Collapsar -> Dozens of Dark Graviton Bomb -> Miniature Collapsar -> Reverse Gravity -> Dark Graviton Bomb

Liz: badly wounded by an A class (she's a level 1), but still has power probably

Deryl: didn't run out of power

Michael: HUNDREDS of corpses, at least one including S class

I believe that the MC lost his power, since lightning and stretching has always been stated as extremely energy consuming to resist and do respectively. Alice you may argue that it was a bit weird, won't try to deny it, but we also have to consider that the Sky Attraction has been stated since the beginning as irresistible if you try to fly, so only option was MC. Overall I don't think of it as a Deus Ex Machina or anything similar, more like a way to pave Michael's evolution, since he ingested the S class power. Could it have been done better? Yes, most times everything can be done better, that's the curse of writing. MC is stronger now? Yes, but everything he does in the previous major fight (Cole) was less energy consuming and grounded, except after MC started using Deryl's stone, and MC loses his power just after that.

It's the same species species of monster that gets her, if not the same

The 14 Gb one. My internet and SSD allowed me

The art evolved so much it's absurd

Mac version uploaded!

IT'S COMING

WeirdWorld, don't do this to us man. It has been seven long days and 73 more since the last update

Is it just me or the size of the file for download increased?

Yes, but only growth factor. My question is there's a way to increase the other factors

Hello there.

As the title says, is there a way to improve the factors of the characters OTHER THAN THE GROWTH FACTOR? In the slave market only shows growth factor as an option, no matter who it the receiver or the donor. I want to upgrade charm, sex, physical, etc.

EDIT: I HAVE JUST SEEN THAT YOU CAN NOT INCREASE FACTORS AT HARD DIFFICULTY. SORRY

Do go past the beginning of the game. The art gets better and the author/dev intends to remake the first days in version 1.0

Is the problem with Steam sorted for good, or only with this game?

What a cliffhanger. Three months of waiting again...

MAJOR SPOILERS

The way I understood, Ella tried to become the child of two Apostles, but failed due to no killing Christie. Since then, she has been attempting to create one, failing until us. If we reveal that we have the powers of both Memory and Body, she kills us to absorb our powers. If we stay quiet, she nurtures us so we may unlock said powers. At least this is my interpretation of her.

          Great game, I hope it is very early in development so there will be more of it later. The only bug I found was the with the UI elements overlapping in the shopping and building menus sometimes. Closing and opening the menus solved it, though. I hope there will be more magical elements in the gameplay, maybe tied to an NPC. Speaking of it, I have two suggestions about gameplay:

1. Permanent Rewards for each city depending on the difficulty, like an item or a permanent girl
2. Ability to carry on something from the previous cities, so the player effort doesn't go to waste

I spoke too fat. Professor Wolf sends the MC a letter some days later.

I did Professor Wolf's course and the quest Prowler in the Depths Part 2 before 0.835. How do I access the final part?

The goat is back

May the lord bless you all

2024 Update: Plans have changed a lot since then, but development is steady for the rest of the story. MGI Prologue will receive one last update in the upcoming years after all the extra content that was developed for it is polished, but in the immediate future the story will continue in a new game made in Unreal Engine with way higher quality models, much better graphics and, I hope, way better writing and animation quality as well. I won't spoil anything for now, I just want to give people some peace of mind. This upcoming game won't be full on hentai like MGI, am focusing more on what I enjoy the most which is the girl dating part and story writing, I feel like H scenes feel forced a lot of the time, but regardless, this new game will still not be censored on PC versions at least. Thanks to everyone that liked my work. I hope you find something to enjoy on what's to come as well.

Well, there was an update on patreon march 23rd, so maybe not

Lovense support planned?

Blessed be thy name. You're creating a masterpiece

Hey, wouldn't this game have pregnancy? Did it get cut?
