Ive gotten to the part where you need to find some fruit and get attacked on your way back to deliver it. But the fact that you cannot hurt this opponent any other way than the grapple moves has proven to incredibly frustrating. I have the repaired slave armor and the purified black thong. But the problem is that if i miss on any one of my grapple attacks i loose and its game over. This opponent is (in my opinion) a little op. I appreciate a challenge in a game. Theres no fun in a game otherwise. But this just frustrating. And resorting to going around fighting the blue and green slimes trying to level up and prepare for this battle is also a little frustrating due to how long it takes this late in the game to get 1 level up. I've tried to go back to the dessert to fight more of the snake things and I've tried to go SW to fight the slugs n stuff. But they're all gone. I'm gonna have to spend hours and hours trying to level up for this one battle. I'd like to be able to continue fighting stronger enemies to make leveling up go much faster. So. My suggestion is to not block off the dessert and let players keep fighting snakes. Or leave a section in the sw forest where we can keep fighting slugs.
Aside from all that complaint, though. I do VERY much enjoy this game A LOT. It has plot, conflict, character development, fun/interesting interactions with not only the items on the map but between characters as well. It's a great game. I love it. Im just stuck right now and getting mad. So im terribly sorry if it feels like I'm taking my frustration out on you. I truly don't mean to. I'm mostly just trying to vent and ask for advice.
My only other suggestion is that I would appreciate it if your cutscene pictures had color. Personal opinion: the black and white drawings make the game feel incomplete. And I get it. It is still a work on progress and I don't mean to rush you. You're doing an amazing job! Keep It up! ^-^
I personally like that Grove doesn't get any dom scenes. But I'm a gay bottom and I don't like to top so of course not having dom scenes works well for me. But after seeing some of the potential in games like Corruption of Champions, I can understand why people are asking for that. That being said, I'd be interested in seeing more of Grove jizzing from being fu**ed by monsters without said monsters touching his d*ck. (Personal kink for me. I love hands free ejaculations.)
That's my 2cents. Hope it helps. Love your game, work, and effort. Great job! And I look forward to seeing more of it. ^-^
The boss you're fighting isn't really one to be defeated just through sheer brute force. There's plenty of other methods to deal with him, you just need to use the other tactics available to you.
You can try using items. You could try using Strip. You could let him grapple you and then Resist at just the right moment. There's a handful of different ways to win this fight, and grinding isn't the intended solution
Otherwise, thank you for the praise with the game. Glad you seem to be enjoying it by and large. And hopefully with this advice you can get past that particular enemy and enjoy the rest of what the game has to offer.
With a strip tease and a combo of grapple moves and items i finally got it. Then got my ass handed to me in the first cave with the stronger slug creatures. Lmao
I love this, especially the nsfw stuff but I really hope for more dom corruption stuff because almost all of it is sub stuff. Not to say it isn't great, still nice but I just hope future releases add dom content
I really love this game. It’s the most creative, fun and friendly NSFW game I’ve ever seen. There are many people and objects in various scenarios with different dialogues or plots. It’s simply awesome.
I love interacting with things in games, but a lot of games just put things out there, but this game really responds! I love that.
Of course the NSFW part is also great and quite attractive.
Thank you very much for the praise! We really enjoy filling the world with interactive elements and fun character moments. It's always nice to know people enjoy seeking them out!
Thanks for playing, and hope you continue to enjoy the game through future updates!
In green slime dragon cave，keep STM>50 and lose once，after that find fire in the map to restore armor，then you can get this key item（event only once but you can get slime armors as much as you want）200 gold in store。
So, a friend recommended this game to me, and I decided to give it a try. I know you've all probably got an outpouring of comments, so I'll try to keep this digestible. But I am a windbag at heart, so... uh, yeah.
Summary: I really enjoy the game. It's got a lot of great encounters, the art is expressive and tantalizingly evocative, the situation crafting is great.
1) Biggest criticism: Clicks. So. Many. Clicks.
I haven't worked with the development platform this game uses, so I don't know if it's a platform limitation or not, but if there is any way to reduce the number of clicks menus need in order to use items, equip things, whathaveyou, that would be a major, major improvement.
2) A hotbar for items you use frequently would also be awesome, so you don't have to go digging into your inventory multiple times to consume all those vigor capsules you've been saving up.
3) Other Thoughts: A "Load Game" option instead of needing to retreat to "Game End" menu and then "Resume" would also be nice.
4) As a new player, it'd be useful to have the game explain what corruption is a little more thoroughly, and how it's important. The only thing I recall from the game is a brief comment from the blacksmith.
Loving the development so far, the art, and the story. Hoping to see more of it, and more of the Veteran, Rinnal, and Bosc. Yeah, maybe I have a type. Or types. The Veteran is a DILF who I could never find in the daytime. Maybe I just need to search harder, or maybe there is a reason he mysteriously disappears each day. Hmm.
I am a fan of the bottoming scenes, but I'm glad it seems you have situations presented for both to help cover bases. I am also a fan of how you cleverly designed the combat so that losing armor can actually have a benefit, situationally.
Thanks for the feedback and praise, and for playing our game through! Glad you found the scenes and the various characters enjoyable and interesting.
As for your feedback, regarding clicks... you know you can use the keyboard, right? Holding Space or Enter will have things auto-scroll, and is generally a li'l quicker if you haven't been using that. Otherwise, as far as more bespoke shortcut keys and commands and game loading, it's something we can try and look into, but it's mostly limited by the engine itself. It doesn't naturally have these functions, so we'd have to look into ways to code them in. We'll keep it in mind though as a future convenience though, if we can find easy enough ways to code in these extra features.
And as for corruption, yeah, it's kind of obtuse at the moment. It was originally meant to just sort of semi-hidden tracker of the lewd stuff you got up to but its morphed beyond that. We'll likely rework it and its features in future updates and make it a bit clearer.
Anyway, thanks again for the comments and feedback! Hope you'll stick around and enjoy our future updates when they come!
There is a puddle of Green slime Sticking to the top of this memory.... you see visions of a distant Cliffside lake and an overbearing black thong on your groin?
Acquire the corrupt underwear from saving Kuno (the blue dragon) in the forest at the start of the game. Wear the underwear, and travel to the right, along the cliffside and past the green slime enemies, until you get a cutscene.
Not sure if this is a recent thing or just something that's happening to me, but the game struggled in the dream with the imp, The combat and everything there was unaffected, it was just moving around and trying to press space to see stuff, it was like it was lagging really bad but it was the game lagging, even checked other things on my computer and they were all fine, it was just the game. not sure if there's a fix or whatever but thought it best you know as i've never had that problem before, still LOVE the game though! Hope to see more soon!
Have you by any chance moved the game onto an external drive or memory card or something that's NOT the main harddrive of your computer?
Because doing that causes a very big CPU bottleneck as RPG Maker and Grove are now trying to run off of the throughput from your external drive instead. That's the most common cause of laggy performance that wasn't there before
ok where the hell do i find the blacksmith after he leaves the central camp, i cant find him anywhere. the other dragons said he went to his old workshop but idk where that is.
Open your menu. Go to the Docs. Case. Teleport to Northern Bridge Campsite. Then cross the bridge to the north. If the bridge isn't there yet, head into the building to the left and activate the lever at the back.
thx, i actually found it an hour after i posted that. and also completed the current state the game is in. now im goin through it and trying to not get corruption. thats gonna be hard for me lol. also when is the part 2 coming out for dark places. i told some friends about the game, and they wanna know too.
Hi, I just beat the game for the first time, and I gotta say, I LOVED IT! I went in hoping for some nice lewd fun, and came out emotionally invested in a bunch of adorable dragons! So, big props to you for making one of the best lewd games I've ever played. I was a bit curious, do you plan on adding a bit more dom scenes for grove? He's great on bottom but I love seeing him top especially, lol! Second question, do you have any plans to add any scenes between Grove and say, the Kuno, The Veteran, or the brawler (I swear I knew their names earlier, I am not a fake fan!) and lastly, would you guys happen to have a patreon? I'd love to try and support this amazing content!
Hey there, thanks a lot for the kind words and praise! Always a pleasure to see people coming for the lewds and then ending up emotionally invested in our characters or story!
As for your questions, we won't talk about any future scenes yet... don't want to spoil things, but the interest is both noted and appreciated.
We don't have a Patreon, but if you'd like to support our work we'd welcome donations here on itch.io! Just hit the "Download Now" button and follow the instructions (you don't have to download the game again, don't worry)
Updates come... when we can manage, really. The game remains a passion project between real life obligations, work and study. But we appreciate all the interest and encouragement nonetheless.
Visit Auxiliary Hall, one screen to the left of the Inn, and check the quest boards to see if there's any quests you missed. If you're on a quest, check your Docs. Case and your Task Log for a reminder of what you're doing.
Otherwise, the final piece of content is dealing with a certain moth fellow. If you've done that, you've done everything for now.
- You should be able to see 7 folders in there (audio, data, fonts, etc). Drag and drop into the location to replace the data folder, and it should be good to go.
thanks for your reply, but when I replaced it, the window remains dark and doesn't start.
and next i droped the contents of the ''js'' and ''data'' of the patch into the app.nw\data and app.nw\js and replaced. the apps starts、but soon display now loading and this error comes up; Error: Loading Error: Failed to load: img/system/Shadow1.png.
Check if the 'Shadow1.rpgmaker' file is in the 'img\system' folder, might be missing.
If it's there, double check the 'shadow' file name for linux (might be the same for MacOS). If it's called 'Shadow1.png', with the 'S' as a capital, try renaming it to 'shadow1.png' and seeing if that works.
If it's called 'shadow1.png' already when you checked, rename it to 'Shadow1.png' WITH the capital and see if that works.
it wass called 'Shadow1.png', and I renamed it to 'shadow1.png', but it doesn't work and failed to load Shadow1.png,Shadow2.png and so on,
when I drop ''data'', this error comes up.when I replace the'js', the window remains dark.but when I replace the contents of ''js''('plugins.js' and 'Js'' or ''plugins'' folder), the game starts in English.
Unlike items that can be obtained after a number of attempts, it is very painful to have to make the correct choice five times in a row in a gamble that is influenced by simple luck.
I am not confident in my luck at all, so I do not usually gamble this way, but when I am told that I can get an item in the game, I get curious and play it over and over again.
However, when the number of attempts exceeds 1,000, I realize once again my lack of luck and quit the game in frustration.
I don't want the game to have elements that can't be handled by your own ability.
We'll consider toning down the requirements for the coin-flip mini game, but keep in mind it's simply a small document case token that you can acquire. It's little more than a cosmetic badge, designed for those that don't have much else to do with their gold.
We definitely won't be focusing on tedious RNG when it comes to items that do indeed affect gameplay flow.
Yeah... I'm afraid that newer MacOS updates are causing issues with the game. We have a workaround but it's a bit technical. We'll try and integrate this into the future builds, but for now hopefully you can follow this:
1. Download the macOS ARM64 (STABLE, Normal) file first from https://nwjs.io/downloads/. 2. Extract and right click on the app, click on "Show package content". 3. Click into the "Contents" folder, and select all files and copy. 4. Go into GROVE app and right click on it, click on "Contents", and paste into the folder. 5. If the OS asks if you want to "Merge or Replace", click "replace". Do not launch just yet! 6. Go into "GROVE.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/package.json" (no quotes) by right clicking and choosing "open with: TextEdit" It should look currently look like this: { "name": "", "main": "index.html", "js-flags": "--expose-gc", "window": { "title": "", "toolbar": false, "width": 816, "height": 624, "icon": "icon/icon.png" } }
7. change that to... { "name": "GROVE", "main": "index.html", "js-flags": "--expose-gc", "window": { "title": "", "toolbar": false, "width": 816, "height": 624, "icon": "icon/icon.png" } } ...now use CMD+S to save!
Nope, still doesn't work, I get into the game and it asks me the first question after begin adventure and this error comes up; Error: EROFS: read-only file system, open /private/var/folders/8y/kr_71p_j4rd21jd7ppym2g7w0000gn/T/App Translocation/A674C56A-B9AB-408A-A947-6D1D4D81A34/d/GROVE.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/save/persistent.rpgsave
Well at least we have an error message and not just a crash. That's a step in the right direction.
The fix for MacOS "read-only file system" is usually to first make sure you've properly unarchived the game! Once you're sure, try and move the game files, using Finder, to the Applications folder.
We haven't touched anything... have you followed the instructions correctly? Extract, drag and then drop the contents of the 'FR_translation' ZIP folder into the 'www' folder within the game directory. Be sure to also extract the game folder first.
Thanks for playing and for the praise. Autosaves aren't something RPG Maker inherently supports so we'd have to do some technical wrangling... but it's on our list of features we want to at least look into!
Otherwise, we've given ya 99 slots so be judicious with saving! Thanks for playing, and hopefully recovering your process won't be too much of a chore.
Ngl, came here for the NSFW, ended up being a warrior of purity avoiding it wherever I can.
It's a good story, nice characters, enjoyable combat -and don't get me wrong- good NSFW content, genuinely looking forward to how this game goes along!
I came for a NSFW game and I got a game with awesome story and characters and of course good NSFW scenes! I just finished the game and... it really surprised me. All of the characters are amazing, the combat feels good and it actually left me wanting more. From story, to history of the world, it is so well written. Can't wait for whats to come!
As the guy who writes a lot of the words you see in-game, I greatly appreciate hearing this kind of praise! It's always a pleasure to hear when our game can keep people's interest beyond the lewd content.
Hope to continue to have your approval in future updates, from combat to story to NSFW scenes and more! Thanks for the kind words!
Help! How do I get the scene of thr blacksmith fucking the stripped slime suit in his smithy? I tried sleeping for days and the slime suit is just not appearing on one of the boxes at the smithy... and how do I get a better armor for better defense?
You need to have brought a slime strip back from the caves, given it to the Wizard at the Inn (ask about oddities). It should turn up once you've done that, but you MIGHT need to progress further in the game if you did it particularly early.
As for better armour, you can purchase a set from the blacksmith if you want something more defensive. You want to get the "Regulation Plate".
Thank you very much for all the kind praise, for both the sexual and nonsexual aspects of our game! Glad you enjoyed it so far, and hope we can continue to add things that are just as well received in the future.
I'm on 3.08. On the third quest, found the primal slug area. Lost to the primal slug (after recieving a package from Wizz I think) then won against the subsequent slug golem.
However, I'm stuck. I'm left staring at the dude I rescued and the dialogue has stopped.
You watch with a mixture of relief, fear and concern as the symbiotic slugs flop weakly onto the ground. What you had thought to be some aweful mimicry of a dragon, some kind of final evolution of these squirming creatures... actually WAS a dragon, parasitized by the fiends.
Thanks for the praise. Sorry to hear you got stuck. Have you tried playing again since? I can think of two things that might have happened to you...:
1. RPG Maker had a 'visual freeze'. This sometimes happens when there's a hiccup with the game's processes. It causes the screen to appear frozen even though you can still move around and do stuff, you just won't be able to see it... I'm afraid the only solution to this is to just try again, and try not to have too many programs running in the background or tab out from the game.
2. If you're using click controls perchance, they don't work right on every map. That particular area is one such place the click controls don't sync right so I would recommend using keyboard arrows and enter and suchlike.
Hope either of those things can 'help' you and you can continue to play the game!
So, i completed game at least twice, and i really like it! Betwen, i find that in the bandits well i couldnt kill bandits at back. Meybe it a bug, or i need to press some special button? At previous version( 204) , it was OK. Also, will it be any code to unclock everything in game? Also, im interesting in, will it be any 'real' scene with other non-corupted dragons?
I believe that is a bug with the Russian Translation. Unfortunately the translators messed with some events and files and caused some bugs...
Thank you for the praise and the questions. We hope to make more content with the other dragons in future updates. We won't add cheat codes to unlock the gallery though.
I just finished the game so far and Im gonna say It was an amazing experience from the storyline following the characters arcs si far , and of course the corruption, i fell it has more emotion due to history, like imagining happening it to you due to the imersive world, I been wanting to play the game since i knew about it and now that I did, I fell satisfied, hopefully you´ll be able to continue part 2 this year and see what awaits us

Thanks for playing, and hope you continue to enjoy the game through future updates!
You were banned because you literally have the fact you're underage on your Discord profile. And you're now banned from here too.
Dingus.
I'm really enjoying the game.
Thank you for making the game
But there's a small problem
How can I open it here?
(Ice floor compartment)
Apparently it is not available to us yet, I expect it will be available after the update
+ I’ve played it 4 times and haven’t noticed any activity in this location
As the others have stated, this is just a placeholder for now! Don't worry, you haven't missed an area.
ok, thanks for the information, now I'm calm
where to find armor which you give to the doctor and he repairs it
I took this screenshot from one video, so I don’t know where and how to get it, please help me with this
In green slime dragon cave，keep STM>50 and lose once，after that find fire in the map to restore armor，then you can get this key item（event only once but you can get slime armors as much as you want）200 gold in store。

How do you get the chest

You're welcome!
ok where the hell do i find the blacksmith after he leaves the central camp, i cant find him anywhere. the other dragons said he went to his old workshop but idk where that is.
Open your menu. Go to the Docs. Case. Teleport to Northern Bridge Campsite. Then cross the bridge to the north. If the bridge isn't there yet, head into the building to the left and activate the lever at the back.

No ETA on the next update I'm afraid. But thanks a lot for recommending us to your friends!
aw ok, and your welcome. ^-^
Is it possible for us to use the chastity cage on Grove in a future update? You know, for research only :3
Hi, I just beat the game for the first time, and I gotta say, I LOVED IT! I went in hoping for some nice lewd fun, and came out emotionally invested in a bunch of adorable dragons!

I absolutely love this game, the combat is nice and strategic and the art is just lovely. X3 thank you so much for developing this game for us.
How often do updates typically come out? Just curious, I know it takes quite a while, don't want to come off like I'm rushing or anything. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words!
Updates come... when we can manage, really. The game remains a passion project between real life obligations, work and study. But we appreciate all the interest and encouragement nonetheless.
I completely get that, the anticipation makes it all the better. X3 thank you for the reply!
what can i do with the rubbery slime strip?
Take it to the Wizard at the inn. He'll hand it off to the blacksmith and you can find it and interact with it at the forge.
Hey, how do I progress? I've just shopped at bizz' store for the first time. But there's no more quests or seemingly anything to do. Thanks in advance
Visit Auxiliary Hall, one screen to the left of the Inn, and check the quest boards to see if there's any quests you missed.
If you're on a quest, check your Docs. Case and your Task Log for a reminder of what you're doing.
Otherwise, the final piece of content is dealing with a certain moth fellow. If you've done that, you've done everything for now.
I haven't fought a moth yet. I have no unfinished quests and my docs. Case says I'm doing nothing. Very confusing.
Thanks anyway haha
Try going to the Inn and using a Hot Coffee Bean to make it night-time, and then exploring around the campsite. Check the buildings.
translation patch doesn't work on Mac? I tried Japanese and French.
Which macOS device do you use out of curiosity? Some may require a different loading method so make sure the base game actually works.
If it does run without the translation patch, ensure that you're putting the files in this location:
........\GROVEv0.308MAC\GROVE.app\Contents\Resources\app.nw
- You should be able to see 7 folders in there (audio, data, fonts, etc). Drag and drop into the location to replace the data folder, and it should be good to go.

thanks for your reply, but when I replaced it, the window remains dark and doesn't start.
and next i droped the contents of the ''js'' and ''data'' of the patch into the app.nw\data and app.nw\js and replaced. the apps starts、but soon display now loading and this error comes up; Error: Loading Error: Failed to load: img/system/Shadow1.png.
and it does run without the patch.
Check if the 'Shadow1.rpgmaker' file is in the 'img\system' folder, might be missing.
If it's there, double check the 'shadow' file name for linux (might be the same for MacOS). If it's called 'Shadow1.png', with the 'S' as a capital, try renaming it to 'shadow1.png' and seeing if that works.
If it's called 'shadow1.png' already when you checked, rename it to 'Shadow1.png' WITH the capital and see if that works.
- Regalbuster
it wass called 'Shadow1.png', and I renamed it to 'shadow1.png', but it doesn't work and failed to load Shadow1.png,Shadow2.png and so on,
when I drop ''data'', this error comes up.when I replace the'js', the window remains dark.but when I replace the contents of ''js''('plugins.js' and 'Js'' or ''plugins'' folder), the game starts in English.
Unlike items that can be obtained after a number of attempts, it is very painful to have to make the correct choice five times in a row in a gamble that is influenced by simple luck.
I am not confident in my luck at all, so I do not usually gamble this way, but when I am told that I can get an item in the game, I get curious and play it over and over again.
However, when the number of attempts exceeds 1,000, I realize once again my lack of luck and quit the game in frustration.
I don't want the game to have elements that can't be handled by your own ability.
We'll consider toning down the requirements for the coin-flip mini game, but keep in mind it's simply a small document case token that you can acquire. It's little more than a cosmetic badge, designed for those that don't have much else to do with their gold.
We definitely won't be focusing on tedious RNG when it comes to items that do indeed affect gameplay flow.

nvm I figured it out! I was walking on the shading next to walls thinking it was the shaded tiles lmao
does this game auto update?
If you've downloaded the game via the Itch.io launcher, it should auto-update, yes.
That being said, there's no recent updates besides a Japanese language patch.
thanks
Hey there how do I enter the door in the upper left corner?
You cannot enter yet. It will be available in future updates.
ok
Keeps crashing on my mac, Used to love playing this game though
Yeah... I'm afraid that newer MacOS updates are causing issues with the game. We have a workaround but it's a bit technical. We'll try and integrate this into the future builds, but for now hopefully you can follow this:
1. Download the macOS ARM64 (STABLE, Normal) file first from https://nwjs.io/downloads/.
2. Extract and right click on the app, click on "Show package content".
3. Click into the "Contents" folder, and select all files and copy.
4. Go into GROVE app and right click on it, click on "Contents", and paste into the folder.
5. If the OS asks if you want to "Merge or Replace", click "replace". Do not launch just yet!
6. Go into "GROVE.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/package.json" (no quotes) by right clicking and choosing "open with: TextEdit" It should look currently look like this:
{
"name": "",
"main": "index.html",
"js-flags": "--expose-gc",
"window": { "title": "",
"toolbar": false,
"width": 816,
"height": 624,
"icon": "icon/icon.png"
}
}
7. change that to...
{ "name": "GROVE",
"main": "index.html",
"js-flags": "--expose-gc",
"window": { "title": "",
"toolbar": false,
"width": 816,
"height": 624,
"icon": "icon/icon.png"
}
}
...now use CMD+S to save!
8. Launch and hopefully enjoy
Nope, still doesn't work, I get into the game and it asks me the first question after begin adventure and this error comes up; Error: EROFS: read-only file system, open /private/var/folders/8y/kr_71p_j4rd21jd7ppym2g7w0000gn/T/App Translocation/A674C56A-B9AB-408A-A947-6D1D4D81A34/d/GROVE.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/save/persistent.rpgsave
Well at least we have an error message and not just a crash. That's a step in the right direction.
The fix for MacOS "read-only file system" is usually to first make sure you've properly unarchived the game!
Once you're sure, try and move the game files, using Finder, to the Applications folder.
french patch is no workin
We haven't touched anything... have you followed the instructions correctly? Extract, drag and then drop the contents of the 'FR_translation' ZIP folder into the 'www' folder within the game directory. Be sure to also extract the game folder first.
ok thanks I'll try again then
It work thanks !
Thanks for playing and for the praise. Autosaves aren't something RPG Maker inherently supports so we'd have to do some technical wrangling... but it's on our list of features we want to at least look into!
Otherwise, we've given ya 99 slots so be judicious with saving! Thanks for playing, and hopefully recovering your process won't be too much of a chore.
Will v.04 come out at the beginning of the year (January or February) or just later?
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited.
Somewhen this year, but not January or February I'm afraid. We're working a bit more on our other game, Prowler, right now.
距离 Grove 3.08 更新已经一年了，作为游戏的粉丝，我迫切希望它能尽快更新，那么开发团队在不久的将来有什么计划呢？
We hope to have an update out this year!
i can't wait any longer.Would you tell me the approximate time of the next update? Let me have a psychological expectation.
Like I said, hopefully some time this year.
fine，thank for your reply
Ngl, came here for the NSFW, ended up being a warrior of purity avoiding it wherever I can.
It's a good story, nice characters, enjoyable combat -and don't get me wrong- good NSFW content, genuinely looking forward to how this game goes along!
Thank you very much for playing, and the kind and positive feedback!
So, hello again. Can I transfer saves from different localised versions of game? Wouldn’t it create something like black hole or broke quest?
We can't be 100% sure it will not cause issues, but you're welcome to try. Do keep a backup of your old saves just in case.
I came for a NSFW game and I got a game with awesome story and characters and of course good NSFW scenes! I just finished the game and... it really surprised me. All of the characters are amazing, the combat feels good and it actually left me wanting more. From story, to history of the world, it is so well written. Can't wait for whats to come!
As the guy who writes a lot of the words you see in-game, I greatly appreciate hearing this kind of praise! It's always a pleasure to hear when our game can keep people's interest beyond the lewd content.
Hope to continue to have your approval in future updates, from combat to story to NSFW scenes and more! Thanks for the kind words!
Help! How do I get the scene of thr blacksmith fucking the stripped slime suit in his smithy? I tried sleeping for days and the slime suit is just not appearing on one of the boxes at the smithy... and how do I get a better armor for better defense?
You need to have brought a slime strip back from the caves, given it to the Wizard at the Inn (ask about oddities). It should turn up once you've done that, but you MIGHT need to progress further in the game if you did it particularly early.
As for better armour, you can purchase a set from the blacksmith if you want something more defensive. You want to get the "Regulation Plate".
Just want to say thank you for making this game I've thoroughly enjoyed it up to this point
Really love the different personalities of the characters and the loss scenes are both hot and push buttons that you rarely see in nsfw games
Also really liking the enviromental design, especially how the main hub is overlooking the sea below
Wish you both the best in the future and a good 2024
Thank you very much for all the kind praise, for both the sexual and nonsexual aspects of our game! Glad you enjoyed it so far, and hope we can continue to add things that are just as well received in the future.
Hello,
I'm on 3.08. On the third quest, found the primal slug area. Lost to the primal slug (after recieving a package from Wizz I think) then won against the subsequent slug golem.
However, I'm stuck. I'm left staring at the dude I rescued and the dialogue has stopped.
That's the dialogue before I'm stuck.
Otherwise, stellar game. Love playing through it
Thanks for the praise. Sorry to hear you got stuck. Have you tried playing again since? I can think of two things that might have happened to you...:
1. RPG Maker had a 'visual freeze'. This sometimes happens when there's a hiccup with the game's processes. It causes the screen to appear frozen even though you can still move around and do stuff, you just won't be able to see it...
I'm afraid the only solution to this is to just try again, and try not to have too many programs running in the background or tab out from the game.
2. If you're using click controls perchance, they don't work right on every map. That particular area is one such place the click controls don't sync right so I would recommend using keyboard arrows and enter and suchlike.
Hope either of those things can 'help' you and you can continue to play the game!
So, i completed game at least twice, and i really like it! Betwen, i find that in the bandits well i couldnt kill bandits at back. Meybe it a bug, or i need to press some special button? At previous version( 204) , it was OK. Also, will it be any code to unclock everything in game? Also, im interesting in, will it be any 'real' scene with other non-corupted dragons?
I believe that is a bug with the Russian Translation. Unfortunately the translators messed with some events and files and caused some bugs...
Thank you for the praise and the questions. We hope to make more content with the other dragons in future updates. We won't add cheat codes to unlock the gallery though.
Ty for answering, good luck with devoleping!
I love the game and i've been wondering if we'll get an even skimpier armor like the one Enthralled Explorer is wearing during his battle?
Thanks for the praise. Maybe there'll be some more lewd armour sets in the future, no guarantees at this point though.
I hope the disarming state can have different dialogue content
Something we'll consider for future updates
I just finished the game so far and Im gonna say It was an amazing experience from the storyline following the characters arcs si far , and of course the corruption, i fell it has more emotion due to history, like imagining happening it to you due to the imersive world, I been wanting to play the game since i knew about it and now that I did, I fell satisfied, hopefully you´ll be able to continue part 2 this year and see what awaits us
Thank you very much for the praise on the game and its story! We intend to keep working on the game and adding more to it in the future.
I just want to say,Happy New Year.And everyboby better than more.
