I really enjoyed this, it was really well done I think. I am curious though as to where the game will start, like when will it start from at the beginning or from where the last version ended or some other point?
Absolutely love the new content!!! However, I would like to ask: is my screen getting stuck on the tent near the Inn for the grappling tutorial intended? It would pan right over to the tent one of the imps escapes to, then stays there; the view would no longer move alongside Grove :<
No problem. This combat isn't replacing the prior style, it's just a new form of interaction for people who prefer 'action' commands rather than turn-based.
In the full game, both options will be available for a player and if they don't like one or the other, they'll be able to largely avoid it!
That's great news, because for me, the "action-based" combat increases my dis-stress-levels quite significantly more than the turn-based one, where I can enjoy the gayme much more/better. Despite your "losing scenes" being worth seeing and enjoying, after the x-th time, you know the "joy" is gone and replaced by utter frustration!
And for those who aren't as quick in their perception and sensual processing anymore, I think it's really great to know, you implement the "old" round-based system again, too. Because this way, those who seek the "thrill", can add it, but those who'd rather not, aren't bothered by it and still can enjoy the most important part of the gayme: the story and all the naughty scenes then, too.
Gatekeeping them with certain reaction times necessary would be really inaccessible and diminishing the enjoyment for those less "quick" in their hand-eye coordination for whatever reason (disability, age, [chronic] illness .... cognitive decline can have so many reasons).
I'm glad you're keeping that part of your audience engaged, too, since you plan to have both kinds of gameplay choices present in the final gayme.
Btw, will you continue the 1st part of Grove further, too is is that considered "finished" (since version-wise it stopped at 0.30x if I remember correctly?) and discontinued development-wise (since you showed-off your code-cleanup in comparison to this new one, I was wondering about that)? - I mean, if someone had the "muse" to help you clean-up / transition the code to the new format/convention, would that be an option for you or not?
Cheers and looking forward to the new story and where our sexy dragon will be dragged to now❣️ Hope he also gets at least one or two possible "Happy Endings" with his fellow sexy hunks of dragon-bros❣️Mindless bliss has its perks but mindful one, too, after all 😏 😜
Thanks for the great test!! Maybe I'm just bad at it, but when I was being chased by the final enemy I pressed "E" to activate the three altars, but nothing happened and it was just a game over. Am I doing something wrong?
Oh, you guys cooked with this one! The new art and tilemaps look so neat and polished, the grapple mechanic feels nice and fluid, and I really appreciate the out-of-dialogue-box area interaction and timer mechanics (which I also really liked in Prowler and Snake:Byte, super glad to see them here too)! Also the one-handed controls are very muchly appreciated ;)
All in all, a very smooth, fun and sexy experience, and I'm very eager to see further development of this!
This game really good. But I think I found a bug. I tested the green slime fight and the armour keeps breaking, but it does remove the armour from Grove.
Finished playing, and I can only say, I'm so proud of you guys, the art style, the controls, everything is so polished and sexy as usual. The new grapple mechanic was difficult at first, but after I got a trick, there were only treats for me ^^
Btw, the "secret" at the end is looking very polished, excited to see how it'll be at the next release.
We don't have any plans for a Patreon I'm afraid, given the content of our games and how the site can crack down on that kind of thing without any notice.
Sorry about that, but we appreciate your desire to support us!
Wait, does Patreon also offer payments with bank accounts?If so, that would be actually safer for you, since Payment Processors for Credit Cards were targeted by those harassing lobby groups, which wanted to take down adult content again! So, anyone with a different processor than those far too powerful credit card corporations, is actually safer for you to post your Gayme/s on, I would reckon!
I love your stuff and hope these idiots in charge don't push adult content back into illegality because then, it would still exist, but in even less transparent and easily traceable online presences, if you get my drift. But, since people seem to love to vote idiots in charge these days once again (it's a historical pattern after all), who knows, right? It's a gamble either way, but finding a platform, that offers your content to not be linked to payment processors, that threaten to not forward your income from your work, would be a smart move then.
And if Subscribestar offers only Credit Card Payments, your choice might not be as safe as you deem it, unless Subscribestar doesn't forward information about what kind of content its platform members create to the Credit Card Corporations, then you might be fairly safe, until someone "puts a (legal!) gun" (metaphor!) to Subscribestar's legal team and tries to coerce them to do that, of course.
Whatever the reason, I think finding a platform, that allows for international bank accounts to pay for the content, would be smartest, if that even exists (can't think of one right away myself, but know a few payment processors certainly offer that option, too - but not sure if they're limited to the continents of their legal registration/s or not. That stuff is intentionally made very confusing, methinks.).
Still, until something bad happens and Payment Processors or these annoying lobbyist groups who pressured them int he first place (from Australia they were, if I remember correctly?), it's not much safer than here on itch.io, I'd reckon. And I'd certainly think, platforms also try to protect their creators as good as possible since fictional adult fantasy is usually a way to experience things most people know are dangerous and/or self-destructive trying in reality, but that doesn't diminish the immersion into the Fantasy. Of course, some people are dumb enough to not make that distinction and then might end up in the ER or worse sadly, but that's sadly an educational problem at best and just people "winning" "Darwin Awards" at worst.
So, yeah, humans are weird and exploring this weirdness in a safe, virtual Fantasy-Environment is wayyyyyy better than trying that in reality (I've seen News-Articles about people having tried and it didn't end well for them, to say the least.).
But the very definition of an "adult"/"(emotionally and otherwise) matured" human being, is that they have the cognitive capacity to actually make that important distinction, i.m.h.o. - and maybe the best way to "proof" it, would then be: have them fill out a survey about this important distinction and corporations would be legally off the hook basically. Those dumb enough to just "find the right answers" to gain access and then still act dumb, aren't their problem then anymore, I guess. I know, it sounds cold, but that's how this legal and corporate part of our world works. It's logical and subject to "good enough" implementations that show an effort to protect people from themselves. But, ultimately, a person, who is bent on trying, no matter the cost to themselves, will be crazy enough to circumvent any such "protective measures". And that important fact about human behavior also needs to be taken into account.
"People gonna dumb" ... in all the ways possible for them (some of which we might not even be able to imagine ourselves yet!) So, eventually finding a reasonable measure for trying to protect people from themselves should be legally good enough for anyone involved in such campaigns - because protecting kids is indeed important, but doing that non-intrusive to mature human beings, is a challenge, I can imagine. Might even be normal to have your eID checked at some point in the future, after all. Just hope it's not gonna be a fascist one, where this kind of "tracing" opportunity is abused to try and shame people publicly or something. Maybe it'll also force Morals to finally become less prude though, who knows? - The denial of consensual sex-positivity for religious reasons has been a bane on humanity for a few centuries at the least, after all...and it feels like we have to change this, if we want our species to survive and not annihilate itself by creating a World, that doesn't incorporate our entire humanity, but only allows for parts of it. Ironically, those screaming loudest about limiting that, not surprisingly are also the greatest secret deviants and just get off on making it harder for everyone to get their rocks off, I hypothesize (we could call it a Sociopath's "Systemic Violence" kink maybe? 😏 ).
If you have Discord, and you can purchase our other games here on itch.io here's what you can do:
Purchase a copy of Prowler, or Snake:Byte and donate $4. That'll be equal to the same amount as the special build.
Take a screenshot of your receipt so we know it's you. Then send that screenshot to "regalbuster" on Discord. Then we might be able to give you a link to the file.
I already own Prowler. Is there a away how I can still donate with out buying the game again? I am personally not interested in snake:byte as it dose not fit in my preferences. If not I probably have to wait until I can buy the game when you are ready with it someday.
I THINK you can just chose to buy another copy of Prowler even if you own it. You don't need to download it afterwards, you can just ignore that. You could gift a copy to a friend too, if you'd like.
Either way works fine by us just as long as you share the receipt.

The Rework will start from the beginning of the game, retracing similar steps but with new mechanics and new art!
Absolutely love the new content!!! However, I would like to ask: is my screen getting stuck on the tent near the Inn for the grappling tutorial intended? It would pan right over to the tent one of the imps escapes to, then stays there; the view would no longer move alongside Grove :<
Please redownload in your own convenience, we believe we have fixed this issue!
Oh dear it seems I completely missed the hotfix; thank you!
GROVE CONTENT GOOD <3
the art and exploration looks a lot better. however I find the combat to be less engaging compared to the previous RPG combat.
No problem. This combat isn't replacing the prior style, it's just a new form of interaction for people who prefer 'action' commands rather than turn-based.

It seems like when on Document case, you can move a bit to the left and right, and up and down if you hold it long enough!
That's illegal
Thanks for the great test!! Maybe I'm just bad at it, but when I was being chased by the final enemy I pressed "E" to activate the three altars, but nothing happened and it was just a game over. Am I doing something wrong?
Make sure to hold the button down!
Long press solved it! Thank you!!
for the first 2 attempts you have to tap repeatedly. for the 3rd encounter you have to press the counter ONCE.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks very much for the positive feedback, and of course for checking it out in the first place!
This game really good. But I think I found a bug. I tested the green slime fight and the armour keeps breaking, but it does remove the armour from Grove.
my NNN r gonna be so much harder aaaaaaaaaaa ahem goodgame as always ❤️❤️ (p.s.should i end NNN now or do it till the end?🥲)
Terribly sorry about that... heh.
I love the game and the imps(my beloved)

Thank you so very much for the kind words, and for giving the new controls a fair shake, we really appreciate it!
will you get patreon? i dont have a credit card so i cant use Subscribestar

whohoooo
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA So happy! Going to try it rn, and even before playing, I'm sure it's perfect ^w^!
nice, like a demo of the remake
