If you can, yes. The new content starts right after Rena gives the poison to the protagonist.
A few scenes (like the encounter with Death, or the talk with Valerie before the battle) also have different dialogue now.
Casual Desires is still being developed.
It's true that more time has been put into Rebel Duet lately. There's a few reasons for that, particularly its upcoming Steam release, and that I was feeling a bit burnt out with Casual Desires and having another project was my way of keeping busy in the meantime.
CD is important to me and, despite the long gap between Chapter 19 and Chapter 20, I'm committed to completing the game.
The vast majority of the game is about the harem aspect. Sharing will be optional and easily avoidable side content, and is only planned for Valerie, the succubus heroine.
If you choose to have sex with multiple heroines at once (e.g. threesome), you can also decide whether or not the girls are allowed to touch each other, or just the protagonist.
Hey, thanks for the questions, and apologies for the late response.
There will be darker choices and scenarios, which can ultimately result in players entering the 'corruption' route of the story if enough of these dark actions were taken. For example, the next update will give the choice between showing mercy to the enemy or taking lives. I'll be adding a lot more of these good/dark choices over the course of the game, as well as some moral dilemmas where there isn't inherently a right or wrong answer. The MC and Valerie can choose to either reject or embrace their demonic temptations.
I like your idea of being able to take the elven sister as a slave. This might be a bit difficult to implement right now, since Annestria plays a major role in the story and making her an enemy would require a lot of changes. But I think this is an interesting way to take both the dark route and sexual content, and I can add it as part of my long-term plans for the game.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm very happy you enjoyed the game.
1) Rebel Duet has a set ending point. I plan for the story to reach its conclusion at the end of Act 7, although it's possible there might be 8 or 9 acts in total if I choose to split the final story arcs (as they're quite large in scope). Not sure how many updates in total this might be, but Rebel Duet is still a long way from being finished.
2) Free-roam segments is a good suggestion. It would make a lot of sense to have some free days where the player chooses where to go and who to talk to. I'll strongly consider adding this as a feature from Act 3 onwards, since all the main heroines will be available for romance then.
As for the scene gallery, this will be added in v0.9.
3) Sure, I could add more options to the settings for things like hairstyle preferences and character names.
Glad you like it!
At the moment, I'm focused mainly on the next two releases.
v0.8 (~June): Conclusion to the current story arc (Act 2). Significant additions and improvements to the training system, such as the ability to finally level up. Other minor improvements if time is available.
v0.9 (~August): Coincides with the Steam release. First hour or two of Act 3. Gallery mode is added, along with any remaining player suggestions on my to-do list.
Thanks for the question. You're definitely right that the concept of Death is a complex one, and that its perception varies from culture to culture.
From the perspective of the main characters, it's a terrifying and evil force that seeks only to inflict destruction. For the Harbingers (the cult that worships it), it brings peace and salvation. For Drovanians, Death rewards their deeds on the battlefield with honor in the next life (similar to the concept of Valhalla). And for the elves, it's a necessary cosmic force that is neither good nor bad.
I'll be going more into depth with this over the course of the story, as the main characters will be interacting with these (and other) groups of people.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
The level-ups for sexual stats are still not implemented, but will be coming in the next update or two.
Pregnancy will be added to the game later for Rena, Annestria, and the female MC. I'm not sure about Valerie since succubi in Rebel Duet get pregnant in a different (non-sexual) way. But I can consider including pregnancy content for Valerie as well if it is requested enough.
Yes, it will be possible for various characters to get pregnant later in the story, such as Rena, Annestria, and the female MC.
It's a bit different for Valerie since succubi in Rebel Duet are unable to get pregnant the traditional way (sex). But I'd like to feature her having a child with the MC in one of the game's endings.
The devlog for 0.7 has mirror download links, which should hopefully work if you have issues with Mega.
By default itch only allows direct uploads for games that are 1 GB or less. I've tried requesting a higher limit on multiple occasions, but the itch support team has been incredibly difficult to contact.
