itch.io

Hello everybody ! I got some bug reports from other places and got my bug list sorted out. I should be able to upload a corrected build in about a week or two.
@Crispybanana : (sorry for the late reply) the next update is MEATY. I may have to divide it in multiple mini-updates. One of them is the ability to get to chap.2 wihout playing chapter 1, so you don't have to go to Fissa each time. Will keep y'all updated !

Happy New Year everyone ! <3
Resume codding right now, starting with a huge-ass bug report. After that, I'll start the missing quests and bonuses of Ruben's chap 2, then it ill be Typhon's time to shine ! o/ Thx for your patience ! <3

Adding this to the list ! First thing I'll do in January is a major bug fix

just play the game and choose Ruben as your companion. :)

Hey thank you so much ! 🥺 Resuming dev in January and some dumb shit is already planned ! Was planning those jokes since I first started codding the game so I'm glad you people will finally see them !

hello everybody ! Just a lil update to say I'll resume coding the game in January. 2024 is a mess, I need to draw fanarts. :)

Also, will delete my Twitter so follow me on Bluesky if you can !

Took some time to check but unfortunately, if you translated the diary and got the text about purple leaves, caterpillars yadda yadda, and still no diary page when you click on them, it looks like a bug. :/ Very sorry I'll have it fixed asap

That's... a lot of gold !

In the next update, there will be new shops to spend your gold in. Still, 214 quadrillions is a bit overkill ! I'll see what I can do !

If you have translated the mini-diary, the only thing left to do is to check the "purple leaves" mentionned in it (on the right, below the path leading to the small glade). Depending on the build you have, they may or may not be displayed, but the button still work.

Hey there ! Can you check the detailled post (first post of this topic) and tell me here you're at. Can't help you without knowing what steps you have finished already. :)

Have you already translated the tiny diary inside the cupboard ? If yes and it mentions purple leaves, you may have a tiny bug. I'll explain how to fix it.

The whole quest is detailled in the first post. If you're still stuck, tell me what you have done already so I can help you. :)

Haven't replied yet. 8__8

Thank you for your feedback, gets me motivated for the next update ! o/
Rhin and Sambre will have a little lewd scene in the next build. Can't wait to start working on it ! o/

He's an old OC from a past project ! I'll see if I can post some old art later. ;)

So many bugs. My poor heart. 8__8

@NightWalking

• The purple leaves are always there, it's not an imagebutton. Do you mean you can't get the page by clicking on them ? Anyway, your feedback is nicely detailled, so it should be easy to fix. :)
• I kinda see what that second bug is about. It's a bit tricky to fix so it could be recquiring more time but I'll work on it today !

@Lau Tai

• For the mouth/eye thing, you can see them at the center of the screen. It happens sometimes when you press the skip key before the sprite is totally loaded. I'll find a way to fix that.
• The problem with Taureau's card is easy to fix.

Hey there ! Not right now. I'm planning an Android version but only when I'm done with the PC build.

Thank you so much for taking the time ! You can DM that on twitter, if you're still there. :) @UramakiGigan

OMG WHAT ??! xD

Will update it today 8__8

Hey everyone ! Worked hard on your bug reports so first, a huge thx to all of you for taking the time to feedback me. :)

I as unable to replicate 2 bugs. 

• First, the bug mentionned by Phoenix555, mentionned right above this post.
• Second, Grakedrik's mention that we can't give Admiral Lance's card.

I'll keep looking into those but you encounter them (and if you have the time of course), could you post it here in the clearest ay possible (when the bug happened, does it happen each time, screenshot of the error screen maybe, etc...). Would make my life easier.

That said, I insist noone is forcing you ! I'll keep trying to fix them by myself and upload a revised build asap. :)

It should work now ! Keep me updated plz. :)

So Chap.2 (Ruben's route) is done (still need a bit of bug fixing, but let's not talk about that...), what's next ?

As I posted earlier, this chapter was truncated with several side quests so as not to make you wait 2 more years. Before I start working on Typhon's route, here's what to expect for the next update :

• A gallery, accessible from the main menu
• Money Maker will be accessible from the main menu and you'll be able to get special rewards from it (unrevealed cards, new profile sprites, WIP drawings and new CGs). This card game will be independant from the in-game one, which means the cards you'll get/upgrade won't be in the main game.
• A big sidequest starting a new currency : orbs. Orbs will give you access to small scenes featuring various characters, which will allow you to discover the daily lives of these characters before Lubrificanus. 2 scenes are planned at the moment : Rhin/Sambre and Tristam/Lou. In the future, I will ask you to pick your favorite heroes to be featured in those scenes.
• We'll see what's behind the glass window, in the Green Mansion. This sidequest was planned in case you break Money Maker and earning money is getting too easy. You'll find a simple way to spend cash.
• I'd also like to put 4 orbs and 3 additional diary pages in that update.
• A shortcut/cheatcode that will let you access to chapter 2 without playing chapter 1, and one that will give you free money, for those who just want to rush in.

That's it ! A lot of work to be done, but I'm motivated ! I'll keep you updated.

Also, thx a lot for the whole lot of you who played this update (and the ones who sent a tip ! <3) ! It's far from perfect but it's hard work, so I hope you liked this chapter ! See ya soon ! <3

Glad you like it ! Yeah a gay game with a female MC is a bit weird but Lube is a true ally ! <3

More dudes coming in the next update ! I'm giving myself a month to draw FE porn and fix all bugs then I'll be working on it ! My goal is to not make you wait 2 years for what's next lol

Hey ! Have to fix some quick bug and I'll try my best to release a new build today evening. I'll look into @SublimationBot's findings, it's probably the cause of your problems.

Yo !

A gallery is planned for the next update. It's a bit tricky to code, and I wanted to release this build quickly (lol). I'll see if I can do the same with the cards but it may be a bit complicated, as the .png for the cards have their value included. I'd have to save the visuals as new .png. Not a problem but I must check if it won't take too much space.

The problem I have with sound effects is that they're just not enough. I'd have to add moans as well, which means finding voice actors. It's doable (actually, it's an idea I had even before releasing the first build) but not top priority.
...but we'll see ! That's something I'd like to see implemented in the future for sure !

Yeah, you don't get a continue picture after finishing this build cause I was lazy. 8D Thought about it right before releasing the build, that realized you guys have waited enough. I'll try to quickly code one.

You'll get more Buffalo/Ruben in the future. You'll have to wait til chapter 3 but you'll have the opportunity to pick Ruben a boyfriend. Buffalo will be among the available bachelors. ;)

No worries ! I like this kind of feedback ! When I can implement it, it's a pleasure to do so !

@ Grakedrik : Huh that's weird ! Will check it today !
@ DoubleMirror : For the Mermen domain, yeah it's normal. It's so people don't enter it and get confused by what they are looking for, so I made the accessible area a bit smaller. For your other points, it will be fixed today.

Thx for your reports ! o/

Slowly building that Ennemies to (reluctant) lovers storyline lol

I wrote Josiane in the game only because one friend loved Beatrice so much he was disappointed when she died lol Each chapter needs her own unhinged fairy ! <3

Thank youuu ! 8__8 Glad you like that update ! <3
Lol imagine me having a Patreon ? Every month you'd get half a finished pic. >__>

Thank you, it only took 2 fucking years lol

Giving myself some days to fix bugs and stuff then I'll lay down what's coming next ! You won't have to wait that long !

I'll see if I can find a solution but right now, I have no idea. :/ Didn't change the way I upload my builds since the first chapter. Are on Mac or PC ?

When I download an itch.io game, I basically run the .exe file located inside the folder, it looks like you do it another way ?
Also make sure to delete your previous files (pinned a topic about it) as a lot from Chapter 1 as changed. Running it as it is will be extra buggy.

I'll try to search for a solution. Keep me updated.

WOW DAMN !!
Don't apologize ! I love that kind of feedback. Helps me making the game better ! o/

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this. Will work on it when I'm back home a upload a new build today or tomorrow. o/

Hope you'll like the new boys ! o/

I'll resume the codding in september to work on the next update. Shouldn't be taking as long as this one. o/

When a change is made to some code, it's important to delete your save files before playing the game or it will be buggy/unplayable.
Here how to delete your save files : 

Locate this folder :
C:/Users/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/RenPy/Lubrificanus
(Appdata is a hidden folder so make sure you can see those in your folder proprieties)

...and the save files are there. Delete them so you can start the game anew.

It's actually a pretty known problem for all Renpy games. I'll make a topic about it.

Locate this folder :
C:/Users/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/RenPy/Lubrificanus

The saves are there and you can delete them.

Collectible locations updated. See topic.:)

Ladies, gents and everyone in between, chap.2 - Ruben's route is available to download !
- Game was quickly beta-tested, so don't hesitate to use the bug report topic if needed.
- As a lot of things has been changed in chap. 1, delete your previous Lubrificanus files if you can, as it may fuck up your game.

List of collectibles coming soon.

Yo people ! Chap 2 - Ruben's route will be available this sunday ! WE'RE ALMOST THERE !!

Again, thx for you patience. I hope you'll like this update. ❤️

WE'RE DONE, BOYS !! o/ Chap 2 (Ruben's route) is done. Will send to beta-testers tomorrow. Hopefully, there's not much to fix.

Yeah sorry about that ! Codded the first chapter when I had way more free time. You won't have to wait that long for the next chapters.

Can't believe I'm finally saying but chap 2 is done. Dx This week, I'll attack the new inventory screen, then we go beta-testing.

Not much good news, unfortunately. I've changed a little something in the game that made the whole thing bug like crazy. Spent a good 3 weeks playing an replaying the game to correct shit.
All the cards are done. Diary pages as well. I'm currently checking the last straight line of the game. It will be done this week.
Last thing I'd like to implement before releasing the build is a new UI for the inventory, as a new collectible will drop in a next update, and I've drawn more cards than initially planned. Doing my best to do all of that as quickly as possible.
