The demo is always 1 update behind the paid one. To put it another way, when 0.34 comes out, 0.33 is free for everyone. When 0.35 comes out, 0.34 becomes free for everyone.

Probably would have been more lucrative to make the demo limited, but I was originally hoping to make the game free and I still want as many people as possible to enjoy it. It's just that pure donations wasn't cutting it for income.

Thank you for the kind words! This has been an awful 2025 so far lmao, but update soon and then hopefully I can get to fast regular updates again.

There have been some pretty funny AFK builds over time. The fire increasing-damage one and the poison DOT combine to be pretty solid.

It's not universally illegal here, but very dangerous. Not sure if the vampire would clash, but their lore here is pretty miserable so I suspect it'd be hard to get along with - if I ever did a smaller standalone game I could see her being the main waifu though, I had so much planned for her! Enough to center a game around, tbh.

Ashley and Sarah both need love (and the D).

The idea of Kandros as Batman is.... uncomfortably not inaccurate.

Using 7-8 aura skills all the time isn't happening.

Thank you, and happy new years to you as well!

Here's to 2025 having more faster updates, even if they're a bit smaller

Sorry for the delated response!

I hope to add blood magic at some point, no absolute promises though. I don't think the vampire gf will happen, at least not as initially planned, though.

Ashley is just.... Ashley. She puts on a heckuva act for many reasons. They're both teenage girls in a lot of ways.

Ina respects them both a lot, and is probably closer to friends with Kuril, but they don't see her as a friend either so much as a princess they care deeply for and want to support. Kuril is more like her cool war criminal uncle and Kandros is the cool genius billionaire uncle, lmao.

Hey, thank you! Right back at you, a little late!

Probably in some of the endings.

Most weapons are pretty straightforward. Several of them (especially the bows and greatsword) have a medium amount of elemental magic abilities that scale on magic.

Good catch! There was an invisible Bleed requirement that wasn't supposed to be there, fixed for next update.

Is the debuff landing on the enemy at all? Like are they getting an icon of some sort on them? Cuz it could be bugged (ex. the spell doesn't actually apply it), I haven't tried it in a while, but it could just be that 5% is too small to make a difference earlygame.

It isn't explained super well honestly, don't stress it. I'm still working on getting the class build to explain things a bit better.

You need to start with Tiger or Crane martial arts to be a martial artist at the start. I'll add pure strength MA at some point as well.

Glad you're enjoying it!

There will be some dialog swaps, but entirely unique conversations for something a small % of players can see would detract from doing conversations most/all players can see, so I wouldn't expect a ton of them.

Maya and Ashley will definitely get some degree of content if you are a martial artist as well, though. I love writing fights and sparring matches, like Sam/Metatron, are a good opportunity.

Hey there! The idea was to have a somewhat mystical flavor without making it too punishing to use. Adding mana costs felt like it would make it awful. The base damage is fairly average (still better than shortbows, lol) but Tiger gets a nice form skill that really helps it spread Bleed everywhere, and traits to help it heal allies with every attack, so you deal decent scaling damage with solid utility for a weapon.

Dorkatron my beloved

Mmm... all I can say for now without spoiling things is that you may get a chance to meet her down the road! Interesting theory though, she might have something to do with at least one party member's potential.

I think that's the plan of about half the cast, lmao.

Ina is definitely excited to have a friend, even if she won't admit it (easily) lmao.

Alicia is Selendis's daughter and the final guaranteed party member.

The compromise comment is intentional. It's a reference to how no one gets everything they want from compromises; gallows humor on Selendis's part.

I know some of this stuff from a weird past with plenty of farm experience, but it's fun to look up some of it too! I research a lot of stuff to try to get ROUGHLY feasible content, tho obviously having magic and magitech gives me a lot of wiggle room. Always a good way to learn!

Sorry to hear that! ISP woes are awful, I wish we had more options where I live instead of exactly one.

MC is getting more confident (to a degree) as things progress, I can see him start to joke about it at some point, but also recognize the weight of trying not to break anyone's heart. Siofra, Ina, and soon Alicia are definitely going to drive that home - all are pretty aggressive about what they want.

That's a question I'm asking myself as well to a degree lol. I'd say we're about 1/3 through what I had planned that is actually reasonable to do, give or take a little. Not sure how things will work out in the end.

But the very rough idea was Hieroneiden arc (culminating in deepwoods, yea), hero's journey arc (culminating in Astrologia and finding out what's going wrong), and then an unnamed arc that culminates in the overall finale.

Rosalyn was one of the characters you run into in the second Deepwoods area. She appears every run and has several scenes. If you visit her after clearing all of the Deepwoods Heart content and followup (knights, Ina, Siofra joins) you can visit her to see the newest content.

You'd have to be more specific about who and what.

If you have Siofra on the team, you're basically caught up on story. Next update will have more.

Thanks for clarifying, that was very helpful to know exactly what to say!

Once you've met the Knight-Commander, the Deepwoods Verge area opens up and you can go adventuring there to progress the plot.

Can you describe what you've done and where you are?

I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech to text for writing, so despite beta testers helping me catch most of the issues, some slip through. Thanks for the report, will fix.

For right now, I would recommend just using the cheat menu to give yourself 2 affection, more Siofra will be implemented soon(tm).

Thank you so much for explaining that to him, I would not have done nearly as good of a job lmao.

Nope, buy it once and get updates forever!

In the Cheat menu, you can alter the trust/affection gain rates, or directly add them. I actually get a lot of complaints that you get T/A too fast lol, so I figured I'd just let everyone adjust it to their own liking.

Glad you enjoyed the game overall!

It's almost done.

She's getting a decent amount here for sure, and going to get a major scene next time with her joint pseudo-date with Celica. I dunno if her actual Badon date will be there, after this update I would like to stay the fuck away from giant multi-month updates for a while lmao.

I love Sarah, she's a good girl, and a lot of fun to write.

I love it, my favorite elemental type magic!

Good question! Fire + wind = lightning, in true Avatar fashion lmao.

Heyy nice dude! Glad you got them sorted, back when I played MGD I ended up modding in some cheat abilities so I could test my other content lol. Ultimately though, I just want people to have fun with DD, whether that be playing 'as designed' or in gigachad mode I don't mind at all. Glad you had fun modding and hope you enjoy your items!

Cryswar was inspired by a golem-esque enemy in a VERY old game. I thought they looked cool and sounded cool. All there really is to it LMAO.

There are a few mods on the discord, Redshirt is actually working on a very ambitious one that adds a shitload of new weapons, skills, and even mechanics. It's kinda wild actually. Dude's is really good at this. Not a huge modding community though, not sure if due to lack of info or wat

Nice, hope you enjoy! There's certainly a lot of writing lol, I wanted to make an adult game with real characters rather than porn, though as my first project there will be some scuff.

Thanks for the report on the geas, I totally missed that one.

The tie is intentional I think, to make it a bit less punishing.

MC is gonna end up with multiple knighthoods lmao. Should be a fun civil war arc :^)

Sorry for the late response on this one, my Chrome tabs are an awful mess and I didn't realize this was sitting there unreplied to.
