I am aware there are ways to increase the current room limit. Heck, even without considering modding, I can save edit to give me more rooms simply by giving me a higher number on room's upgrade level than what's normally allowed.

That being said, I still think a much higher upgrade limit is better as a vanilla inbuild system even if performance is a concern. Because people with a weaker computer would realize not to upgrade it too many times, or keep a smaller pop once they hit a performance threshold, but it allows people with more powerful hardware to keep more characters.

More legit room expansion (with both population limit and how many people we can have in bed) would be really nice. The prequel's small room upgrade made in story sense with it being a city manor with limited space. But in this story we are supposed to be land owners, a much bigger pop limit would give us way more space (pun intended) to collect a waifu of each race and maybe some special ones with good trait.

Speaking of which... the current room upgrade system using higher tier material makes sense form a game design perspective, but not really an in story reason. Why can we only make more rooms with magical materials to increase pop limit when people has been building more living spaces with common wood, stones, or even mud through out history?

Pretty sure you don't want to fully gut the current room upgrade system for something new. But maybe something to consider if there'll be a Strive 3. Maybe allow us to build more rooms with basic materials, but using higher grade material gives bonus similar to the current crafting system. Or maybe having room upgrade (that gives bonus) with higher grade materials.

I think the biggest challenge with adding new skills is all the enemies need to have their dialogue editted with dialogue for them. Which is massive work even if the writer copy/paste pre-existing dialogue from similar skills.

抱歉，这个任务我个人还没做过。Wiki上也没详细攻略。你可以试试自己用英文发个帖子看看有没有人知道？

I think you probably have to reload an earlier save now if you already released her from your house.

Based off the wiki, I think she only become a persistent NPC after you completed her quest.

不好意思，个人直接玩的英文原版所以不知道瓦莱丽是谁。

Alternatively you can also give a Prowler to Fort Sera like other human slaves and it count towards your quest completion. Not sure if it'll cause negative consequences like if you free them though.

因为我每次更新都开新档，所以有一段时间没做这任务了。基本就是跟着任务提示走，然后我卡在了女角等水源实验结果哪里。根据网友提示要保持她的奴隶身份不能提前解放。

Can you consider posting your experience at making your quest mod? While I personally hope there's a proper event editor for Strive similar to Survivalist 2: Invisible Strand and the Thea games. I could still learn from example with 0 coding knowledge like with Monster Girl Dreams.

Would be nice if the divine beast we summoned is actually a wyvern and not a recolored Shenrong.

:)

Do wish there's more expansion on this character. I understand that characters are written in a specific way, especially someone who is a convict. But even if we don't go into Tavi's route, you'd think there would be other interactions that could explore her personality a bit.

Do you not have a backup for an earlier save? You can download saves and keep the file on your computer anywhere. That's a good way to keep backup to points you want to restore.

But I didn't see 'Black Scorpion' under scripted random male NPCs list on the wiki, so he's probably just a randomized NPC with higher base stats. You probably aren't missing by killing instead of enslaving him if you are already doing save state editting as you can freely change character stats.

The one I played was the 64 Bit Windows version. Not sure if I was particularly unlucky for some reason, or if that's a persistent issue during Tutorial phase. But it definitely soured my first impression on the game.

But other than that, the game definitely has promises. Wonder if you will consider making more persistent NPC characters (maybe with their own custom portraits) who can join the crew down the line than simply having them all be randomly generated.

I encountered multiple crashes while trying to save before even leaving the tutorial phase, which made the experience pretty miserable. Probably should get this fixed for the next version.

If combat and follower system both got an overhaul (love the follower overhaul), I wonder if slavery system will also get one. It never made particular in-game sense (other than artificially set a difficulty) that the game hardcode slave chance to be one male and one female per battle.

...I feel like this is more of an oversight on the dev. Since her talk option implied that you need to treat her well rather than treating her like a slave. Plus the player can initiate the quest after freeing her.

But thank you very much for explaining how this quest's trigger works!

I wanted to see the game's code more as a whole like Monster Girl Dreams mostly because I'm clueless about what specific thing I should be asking for. But if modifying the game's vanilla content is very hard or impossible, I guess I'll just have to see what Convent mod did and try to learn what I can.

I know this is a dead horse, but will you consider releasing the source code once this game is considered complete? Because I think it would really help people (myself included) start to figure out how to actually mod for this game.

Not sure if this game is still being worked on. But I would like to add the count down timer feels too restrict at the moment. Usually Beat'em Up game would have the timer refresh back to 99 after every major group of enemies (as in the stage could be moved again). But this game only refresh timer when the player dies. So I would die from the time run out before my health does.

It's fine for the demo since demo give infinite continues, but I imagine this get really annoyed once the full release version come out.

Also... the hit box can feel a bit of wonky at times when enemies would merge with my characters. Usually in Beat'em Up this is a none issue since character merging together would result in a grab (either by the player or the enemies), but I had more than a few instance where the enemy ends up standing together with my character where I can't hit them standing still, and I would just have to take the hit as I move away.

Agree. And to be honest... I don't see the actual content of Capital to live up to the hype by this point. Honestly think Threshold took too much time to get it out (if I'm the one developing I definitely would have gone straight to the capital post cave and not do the whole Lybyrinth section), and people's imagination has been flying wildly in every direction.

I wouldn't mind the long wait time, or the actual content of the capital not live up to my imagination as long as Threshold being transpirant about what's being worked on, and what we should actually expect. Since to this point we still don't know what the demon lord is like, and the suspence is really killing me.

Not a fan of Discord myself since I don't like chatroom. But thanks for pointing to reddit as a source of information. Although I would still question why there's a need for 1 month's delay with the news update. Since the main point here is about the transparency of crowdfunded game makers with their community. Going back to Lilith's Throne again for example. I'm not going to pretend there wasn't other issues (Innoxia repeatedly going back on her own words again and again really eroded trust the non-discord community had in her), but people having no idea what's going on in the large gap of update draught was a huge issue.

Bottomline, I don't see keeping timely information (unless it's once again, art works) away from non-subscribers to be a good reward for those who support the creator with money. Since it really doesn't give any incentive to those who are paying, all it does is grow distrust with people who are already hesitate to support the creator financially.

Even if there's no version update with the game, some update on what's been going on for those of us who don't subscribe on Patreon of Substar would be nice. This was exactly how Lilith's Throne went to the gutter, lack of communication from the creator which eventually bred toxidity out of resentment and distrust.

Personally, gating news update with patreon/substar subscription never made sense to me. If it's art work... yeah, I can understand the creators only show them to supporters. But wouldn't it make most sense to let everyone know what's been going on with the development?

I'm doing Caitlin's personal quest and on the step where I collected both water samples and the journey told me to wait for a day or two. But it has no count down timer like 'A Sisterly Dilemma' or 'Fort Sera' and it's almost a week without update now. What should I do to progress this quest further?

My guess is she won't be anymore than a story NPC even if she returns. Since she has AI generated arts, not 3D rendering like characters who could join you or even other story NPCs like a lot of shop keepers. Still crossing my fingers that at some point she becomes a recruitable NPC.

It's a crowdfunded 18+ RPG that has a ton of great customerization featuress, that has since went into the gutter due to the maker's inability to keep a proper update schedule, and the constant emotional validation/pampering from their discord crowd. You could still find the latest version by searching the name, play it and form your own opinion on the game (I'm personally in the 'love the game, not loving the creator's workflow or lackthereof' camp). Although I recommend against donating for the project yourself since throwing money at it (as its diehard fanbase already done) doesn't seem to help move the development along.

Not to mention the other elephant in the room. Threshold isn't an artist, so they have to pay artist a lot of commission if every skill and scene have artwork.

And I don't even consider this as a negative. I would rather this game have no image but have more complex mechanic like Lilith's Throne (before that project went completely into the gutter). Been wanting a partner, if not a full party system from the start. A waifu adventure game just doesn't feel the same if you can't take your favorite waifu to adventure with you.

Maybe something to think about for a 3rd installment in that case (as well as more food types, where are diaries, eggs, or fruit categories)? The game already feature customerizable backstory, portrait and body image for the characters. Customerizable dialogue feels like a natural next step.

My problem with the personality is the same with the food category. Too little depth to them, too little categories to make a real difference.

Having a personality attribute being cosmetic to give characters more personality (pun intended) is more than fine, but there isn't enough variety. Instead of having it become an actual attribute that affect bonus stats, I wish it has a Galactic Civilization 3/4 like system, where we can customerize dialogue of what the characters say during certain triggers. 

One update later and farm is still a 'no production'. Even worse, the spike trap is now useless since health got adjusted to be base 100 than base 10, and spike trap's damage isn't properly balanced with the new system.

Shouldn't the priority of this game be getting the basic mechanics worked out right, before adding new features?

I'm also experiencing the same problem. 0.7.2b, crash on the loading screen.

My OS is Windows 10 64bit system, and I downloaded the 64bit windows version.

I find them problem when skipping the intro. Unable to control my character when the red head told me to build her a home.

The first time I tried to play, I didn't plug-in my controller and I noticed I couldn't have my character move with my keyboard when I was shown the tutorial control scheme and the hellhound was chasing me. So I plugged my controller and skipped intro (because it's too long for its own good), and noticed the issue.

I'll try to start without skip the intro and see if the problem persist. Were I supposed to be able to control my character during the hellhound scene? Or is it only a cut-scene? It would be strange to show control scheme if we aren't allowed to move our character right after.

Build .47b. The control doesn't work after the intro when I pick if I want to skip the intro or not.

Actually, I encountered this problem myself as I was trying to learn how to mod for this game. The victory scene I added into monsteraddition file and worked in a previous version stopped working from 25.7 onward, and I copied the exact code into the game's monster file and it works. So I thought something went wrong with the game.

Guess I'll have to hunt down a mod that use monsteraddition to add victory scene and see what I did wrong.

Victory scenes added in monster addition for mods from version 25.7 (that I noticed, might have been earlier) is still broken. Victory scenes added in monster addition doesn't fire up, but I copy/pasted the exact code into the original monster file it works perfectly.

Since the creator doesn't seem to actually read comment on itch.io or his blog, can someone post this problem in the discord? I can't post on discord because I can't varify my email.

Update 25.7 appeared to have bricked victory scenes added in monster addition. Victory scenes added in monster addition doesn't fire up, but I copy/pasted the exact code into the original monster file it works perfectly.

I wonder if this game would serve as a first entry into a bigger world in a sequel game. A prison set in an asteroid wouldn't leave too much room for expansion in term of scale. But with this game building the mechanical foundation... a sequel game could actually expand with a much bigger scope of the world especially with what this teased on how our character could have been framed for something, and earth is now apparently a wasteland.

A game with a bigger scope and structure similar to Fenoxo's Trials in Tainted Space but with full modding capability would be awesome.

There's definitely potential for this game if you continue building on it. But obviously, this early build have a lot of bugs.

Farm doesn't actually produce food, and items that supposed to increase a character's stats doesn't give stats increase. The event where you found a person wandering around your dungeon. If you pick trying to take them and they attack, their body bends over backwards like one of those Japanese horror movie ghost and your character become invisible in battle.

I'm still hoping for a proper servant/slave capacity expansion for management games like this. While Masters of Raana is technically a RPG with management mechanic, having such a low capacity really gimps what I consider to be a huge part of the game. Plus, how many servants/slaves you can efficiently house is already soft locked by the whole time mechanic anyway.

Maybe also add a mechanic that releases slave into a free servant? 

As the topic. Please, consider adding an opion to disable the paper doll system and bring back the old silhouette system For Power used. I like the silhouette system for the random characters because let me using my imagination to picture how they would look like. I think it's perfect for randomized characters. Not trying to step on the toes of those who like the new paper doll system, which is why I think an ability to choose between the two is the best of both worlds.

Kind of depends on what you mean by 'big' update. The roadmap shown the game is undergoing a major combat system overhaul to use a randomized card system instead of the more traditional RPG system. Don't think the dev have time to add new content for .14 build on top of it.
