I could definitely give it a shot. :3  I'd have to know what you need of course.  And probably a better way than this back and forth board commentary to communicate.  Heh.

Consider me very, very curious then!  Also, I'm a writer myself, capable of both story and dialogue.  I can code too but I'm not at all familiar with the language that the game uses.  I wouldn't mind trying to help the project out. :3

Oh, so there's something that triggers it going all evil then.  Now I wanna experiment more.  Is there a way to make it not evil again once it is, or is that spoilers?  Heh.  And let me know if I can help in any way!  You're doing amazing work so far!

As an update, it happens on any slave I try to use the crystal with.  The dialogue panel displays only four dots, and it doesn't close the talk panel.  The game basically soft-locks after that.  It also only happens if I try to intentionally feed them to it using that dialogue option.  If I get them accidentally eaten by the crystal and just don't bother rescuing them, it works just fine and lowers the hunger properly.  Not entirely sure what triggers the accidental eating bit.  It appears to be researching or modifying the crystal's settings with a slave with low magic stat?  Not every slave I notice has the option to try to research the crystal though.  

So I'm playing 0.9.4, and am on day 40 or so.  The crystal's researched for the immortality and pregnancy acceleration, and bad stuff is starting to happen.  So I used the option to feed someone to the crystal.  Just a bandit I pulled out of the first area.  There are no errors, and the game doesn't crash, instead just soft locking with the dialogue becoming "...." and no choices or anything available.  I can't close out of the dialogue and effectively have to shut the client down and reload.  I uh, hope nothing bad happens if the crystal gets too hungry...
