To be fair that’s easy to miss.

I plan on fixing a lot of the gates before releasing the next update.

The problem I’m having (and it’s not an excuse, just a reason) is that this is so story driven and written in my head that it’s easy to forget that players are not having the same flow I have - for example. The planning with the basement scene takes time to sequence so it just becomes ingrained in my head that it’s obvious to go there - when in reality it isn’t necessarily.

In any case I appreciate you sticking with the game while I learn the ropes and improve my skills!

Thank you! Words of encouragement like that are very motivating!

If you’re still having issues we can continue troubleshooting or you can send me your save file and I’ll take a look.

Hmmm,

I know there’s some things I missed for sequencing events that i need to go back and fix. Have you talked to Tina at Yashita? And then did you rest in the basement of Tina’s house? After that you should be able to access the Belial tree map.

Thank you for playing and I’m very happy you enjoyed. Totally hear you about the polishing. I think after the holidays I will go back and make some improvement to 0.1 before moving on. I know that people probably want new content, but I really want to have a solid foundation to build on.

Fun demo - looking forward to seeing how it develops!

So far so good! No issues now.

I started a new game and noticed a few things so far (up to chapter 4).

• Got some error message about music when I first started a new game - music is playing though so not sure what this is about. Reopening the game didn’t trigger this.
• In battle, sometimes enemies are just invisible, sometimes allies are invisible, sometimes just the weapons appear.
• The text box in battle scenes is transparent but the text still appears.
• Sapphy’s first sex scene didn’t work properly - the text appears in transparent text boxes but the scene wasn’t visible. The event is registered in the extras menu - but the issue persists here.
• Trying to open the game a few times and found that it almost immediately crashes - doesn’t get past the program opening with a black screen and closes out after a few seconds.

I am playing on easy with the cheat weapon. I’ll keep playing and let you know if I come across anything else.

Also really looking forward to your next release - seriously anybody reading this - if you enjoyed ANY of my game - play Dominant Tale! It was a huge influence to R.O.T.!

YES!!!!! NEW RELEASE! I’m so excited to play this in a little bit!

Thanks for the insight man! This is really helpful and stuff to look into.

Thanks for playing and I’m glad you enjoyed what’s there so far.

I am going to take a long hard look at 0.1 before moving on to the next chapter. I’m still very new at game development and learning everything so I appreciate you giving me a heads up and your patience on things.

Thanks for playing - was really looking forward to hearing your opinion on things.

Absolutely send me a message with your notes. I’m very open on how to make a better game. As you know I’m very new at it!

Sorry, probably not, at least no plans for it now - just not my thing.

Sorry about that. I’ll try to make that more clear in the next release - and fix the mouse issue.

Thank you so much! Comments like this keep my motivation going. I am still very new at making games, but I really like the C.A.T. elements so want to keep going with it.

Very astute, haha. You didn’t miss anything. I have a little more content drafted but it’s not in the game yet.

The game ends when right when you reach the 2nd island.

Aurora should be stage 3. Tina stage 2. Ami (pirate captain) Stage 2.

Yes - the current plan is that the female characters will have five levels (four transformations). The last two will be more extreme.

The female characters will change slowly over time.

Back to the Belial tree at the north part of the island.

Nice thanks!

Yeah I have the first chapter drafted and crafted, I just need to iron it out - make up for some learning curve errors, continuity issues, and dialogue improvements. I really wanted to get it out this weekend, but just like you work has been crazy.

No worries on the delay, I know how it is. If nothing else trying to make my own game has really given me perspective on other developers time frames.

Hey there! Question for you - do you have a resource for learning SRPG studio? It was on sale and I want to learn it in addition to RPGM. My current game is in progress in RPGM but I may delve into SRPG studio in the future.

Also any update on your next release (no pressure, just really curious and looking forward to it!)

Thanks!

Wow. I immensely enjoyed this and can’t wait for more! Really, really high production value on this.

Admittedly, I’ve never seen RWBY and am only vaguely aware of it, but this was still enjoyable to play from a non-fan perspective.

Thanks for the help! I'm very new to all this so it'll probably be a good while before I get anything worth distributing. But I'll let you know.  

Dominant Tale is definitely an inspiration to my work!

Hey no worries. I totally understand your position!  

It's funny, the last couple days I've been playing around in Koikatsu making characters and I think I am going to try and make something. I think RPGM is the best avenue for me as it's the genre I'm most familiar with and seems to easiest to use.

Can I ask. What programs you use other than SRPG studio and Koikatsu. Like how are you moving your
character models into the game program?
Thanks!

Your approach to the corruption totally makes sense. I was thinking about it a little more and I think I get what you are going for with the way it's done.  Don't get me wrong, it works very well for this game and is still immensely enjoyable.

Thanks for looking into the cheat weapon! I certainly appreciate that. 

As for the update, honestly that's a bummer, but you got to look out for yourself first so it's understandable especially if you are working on your own.  If you need/want help writing or planning the story let me know (pro bono of course). Certainly don't want to step on your toes in any way, especially creatively, but I'm a good writer and love the genre. No pressure though. 

Best of luck to you and I'll cross my fingers that you get the enthusiasm back!

I loved this and Isis and I'm sincerely hoping you make this into a trilogy. I know you don't like to share what you're working on before it's ready (totally understandable, you do you), but can I ask if you have a time frame on when we can expect something new from you?  No pressure if you don't want to answer, I understand if so.

Thanks and best regards!

I really like this game. I'm a huge corruption fan and this one really scratches that itch. If I had one issue it would be that the falls happen to fast and I would like to see more of a slow corruption - but this is your story to tell and you do it the way you want. From a story perspective, I could see an argument for the quick corruptions. 

Truth be told, I'm cheating at the game play element as I'm more interested in the story (plus impatient and terrible at SRPGs). One issue I had was that the cheat weapon runs out of "ammo" and breaks if you are not careful with its usage. Anyway to make this weapon have unlimited uses?

Do you have a idea of the next release? I'm really looking forward to corrupting the next set.

Totally understandable. Real life's got to come first.

Hoping everything goes smoothly - regarding the game and otherwise.

Hey there again. Got any update on the next release? Really looking forward to playing this again. No pressure, just curious.

Absolutely fantastic game for corruption lovers such as myself. Can not wait for the next update.

To Fez Dispenser:  Any idea when the next update will be? I know you said infrequently, but I am curious to know if you have any sort of schedule.

Any way to support your work besides Itch (patreon, subscribestar)?
