This game is a masterpiece in it's own right and has served to be a focal point to me for a lot of eye opening changes in my life. So I hope you two know how much it means to me. Thank you for making the game. Thank for being such amazing people. And thank you for being great friends.
Keep up the great work but don't forget to take breaks every once in a while either.
I haven't played the new version yet but I hope to soon, potentially with a friend I shared the previous version of Grove with on stream. I just wanted to let you guys know that I don't often like hentai games, especially not as much as I love Grove. It's such a special one, and all the kinks and such are wildly up my alley. Love love love it. Only thing I could ask for is hypnosis. Also I'm gonna try to donate monthly because I not only want to show support, but also want to see you guys thrive as much as possible for what you're doing! I'm curious if you guys will ever add this particular game to Steam when it's done? Would love to have it in my collection.
I do hope you'll get around to checking out the newest content soon, especially if you're looking for more hypnosis scenes... there's a certain snake ;)
But otherwise, thank you very much for your kind comment! It means a lot to hear such positive words and the fact you want to support our game in such a manner! We'd be honoured by those donations, just make sure you've got enough money for yourself!
As for Grove coming to Steam... I think we'll look into that when the game is content-complete, yeah! I don't have any issue with that personally, I'd just want to make sure it's in a nice and polished and worthy state.
I am VERY much looking forward to it. :D Incredibly so. And np, I will, thank you. :) I can believe it, I'm sure with you guys working on it it'll get there eventually!
i just finished the games story and it was amazing if im being honest the story was fun to read the art was amazing and the fighting mechanic was very fun and actually hard at times especially with the vine boss which added to it when i downloaded the game i thought its going to be an hour long game that eventually ends with alot of plot holes and stuff like that but it went for a very long time way more then i expected from a free game next month ill definitly donate which ive never done on itch
i enjoyd it so much that the nsfw part of the game just felt like a little bonus to it
ill definitly be waiting for more updates to come from this game and keep on the great work!
Hey, thank you very much for the kind and considerate comment! We'd massively appreciate any donation you're willing to offer, and we're humbled that you think our game is worth it!
More updates are in the works, so do make sure to +Follow here, check out Twitter, join the Discord... whatever method suits you best :)
The way you guy enthusiastically answered every comments has showed that Grove's developers are still paying attention to their brainchild, that this game will still live and be updated in the near future.
I remember you guy said there was some problems in the design team, sorry to hear that, but, whatever it is, I really do hope that the problems will be easily solved, Grove would still stand strong and update more storylines, more maps, characters, NSFW arts :>
I also remember that one of you said there would be a female NPC in the next version, looking forward for that.
I love this game, I love your work, keep doing your best <3
Hey, thank you very much for the kind and considerate comment. It actually does mean a lot to hear the positive reinforcement that you've given, even as we go through a bit of a rough spot in terms of game dev.
To cut a long story short, we're both dreadfully busy with work and university. This game, much as we love it and all the support it's been given, is a passion project and not a 'job' and we don't want to turn it into one, so we only work on it when we have the time and the creative energy to do so.
It's going to be a while until the next update is ready, but hopefully you'll be able to enjoy it just as much, if not more, than the ones that have come before...!
Yea, ive been wanting to see females in the game for ages now, let grove get laid with some females, i mostly prefere the slimes since im not all that into other men.
Dude, no offence or trying to be rude but, you do know this is a gay NSFW game about a male dragon being raped by all kind of creatures most of whom have tentacle. No female exist are because of that, until the next update of course. Again, no offence, you love the and support it, I love that, please don't hate me for those words.
Now, I encountered a bug while talking to the blacksmith and when I finished talking, the player character and the blacksmith wouldn't disappear after talking.
I believe this issue might have been fixed in the most recent update v0.204
But if not, you should be able to clear the screen by teleporting using your documents case in your 'key items'! Just teleport to the Quiet Meadow and it should sort everything.
I'm sorry can you explain in a slow way, I don't really understand the meaning of some words and of course the bug I encountered in the latest version (I found this bug after following a GROVE timeline as of v0.204 )
I left the forest without wearing the slimy black underwear, because I didn't wanted to use it without a place to teleport back in case of any game over, and the underwear became inert. Is there anyway to reactivate it? Because looks like I have to use it in the glory hole
Make sure you are not playing in a cloud save folder, and that you’ve extracted the contents of the .zip file and not just played it via the folder. This may create save generation issues so it’s best to have this game in a local folder directory, ie on your desktop.
So I downloaded the game and I played through it. sadly my virus protection system picked up the Grove's exe file as a virus and almost crashed my computer. I had to completely delete the game and all it's files. I would love to continue playing this game. What should I do?
Firstly, I can assure you that Grove is not a virus, as I’m sure others can attest to. You could try downloading the game again and seeing if your antivirus picks up on that, but if not, try to add an exception for Grove in the settings or look into temporarily disabling active protection whilst you play the game.
Genuine question as I'm not far into it yet, what exactly does corruption do? Like is it kind of a "bad end route" if you get too much of it? Or does it just mean you experienced sexy scenes?
Corruption currently does not play a super active role in the game aside from dream variations, and the unlocking of a particular scene. All I can say is that we’ll never bar off lewd content based off of your corruption count, but it may influence the way Grove acts in the future.
my computer is broke, is it possible to download this to my phone? If so then how? Will it be supported on galaxy 10ae type phone? I tried to download it but cant figure out what app runs it, can you help devs?
We don't officially support playing the game on mobile. There's some broken visuals and other such bugs in the game that can mess with the playing experience.
If you truly still want to try though, the 'JoiPlay' program will allow for playing of RPGMaker games on mobile.
Once again, thank you for your reply and patience, i hate the fact my pc is broke, something to do with hardware failure and memory cannot be accessed.
Im no detective, but it looks like the lighting effectsmay have something to do with the error in question, is there a work around or a setting i can change? I looked through all the settings that are available and still cant fix it, the ui settings and the settings in the book in the room, could be a coding error in the layers system
It's an incompatibility with JoiPlay and the plugins that we use for lighting, as I mentioned. If you can find a way to disable 'doodads' that should clear things up for you...
Just please bear in mind that we're not focused on mobile right now and won't be making official ports or fixes.
hey, um... i kinda wrote a fan-fiction for this awesome game, inspired by the early part where you save Kuno and acquire his corrupted underwear, then get it purified later. would it be alright if i linked it here? im kinda proud of it and would love to share it with everyone! ^w^
I'm not sure how itch.io handles external links in comments, but you're welcome to try.
Are you on Discord, by the way? You're more than welcome to join the GROVE server and share your kind work of fan-fiction there! I'm sure the folks there would love to see it.
Love this game!!! Just finished it, and I just wanted to tell you guys, that you are doing a great job! I know you are busy, but I really can't wait for the next part to come out :)
Btw, how do I get the Purple Chess Scene from the Gallery? I just see one tent in the west, but I don't know how to get to it. I also don't know if it's even a tent that unlocks the scene
If you're referring to the chest that's hint mentions a 'newcomer' and his tent...
Then you need to try entering the Auxiliary Commander's tent that's to the west / left of the Inn. Go there with 10 or more Corruption, and interact with the tent several times...
If you need help getting more Corruption, the Slime Dragons or the Jungle Slugs can help you out. Just make sure you don't get an actual Game Over to them...!
Otherwise, thanks for the kind words on the game so far! It's much appreciated, truly!
Okay, thanks anyway. But there's always one box at the gallery that doesn't open, and I'm not sure if it's my problem. I'll show you when I'm done. Thank you ~
so I did the forest part first finish it then getting the sand armor thing after that going to the desert with the smith and it seem to have broken the story sequence
The smith keep telling me to check the valley but going to the end of the valley only bring me to the next area, finishing that area then going back to the smith but he still ask me to check the valley, going back to the base camp then he already there
Is there anyway to fix this? Cus i don’t want to redo the whole thing
If you've got the sand armour and you can enter the desert, then you don't need to go back to the valley or check on the blacksmith.
Just head on into the desert and continue the story. You're looking for something in the north-east...
If you can't get into the desert because the sand wall is turning you back... then you need to go and talk to the Wizard at the Inn so he can activate the sand armour for you!
no no, that not what I mean. I’m not a native speaker so it difficult to explain but there are two blacksmith, one in the desert asking me to check the valley(which I did it just bring me to the next area) and one in the camp finished the stripper armor
It's just a small bug with the game's internal 'switches'. It should not stop you from completing the game and seeing all the content. If you can still go through the valley, go to the desert, get the stripper armour, then it's fine. Just ignore the two blacksmiths.
We are aware of this issue and have fixed it on our internal build.
Quick question, how do you increase your corruption level ? I know there's one scene that requires you to have something like 7 levels of corruption, but I'm not sure about how to increase those.
Also, except for that scene, does corruption serve for something else ?
Generally speaking, you increase your corruption level by willingly making lewd, one-off choices during scenes, or letting yourself get grabbed and 'affected' by enemies such as the slime-dragon's slimesuiting.
Right now, that last thing I mentioned is a way that you can increase corruption infinitely (though it's a bit of a slow method).
Corruption right now changes the dreams you witness when you rest, it unlocks certain lewd scenes, and it can make certain lewd decisions automatically instead of offering you the chance to avoid them.
You need to use the green slime dragons in the cave, get downed and slime-suited by them... or I think the slugs in the jungle work too, if you get defeated by them.
Hey there, so apparently whenever I start a new game from scratch, oddly enough whenever I try to save the game it just won't save whatsoever in any save slots. Any help?
I'm currently in the cyber space part and I've been trying to get passed one of the rapidly changing purple/blue squares but so far I've just had to save scum it. Is there an easier way past or do I just gotta get good?
Edit: Never mind I figured it out, had to use the mouse and let the game control my movements. Also good game lads, keep up the good work.
No problem lad and yeah it can be done with keyboard controls but when it comes to the rapidly changing ones near the end of it, well, it was just easier to use the mouse. Still possible with the keys but just easier to do with the mouse.
Hmm, do you mind letting me know if you’re on Windows or Linux/macOS? If you’re on windows, be sure to have the game extracted into its own folder, and to not have it in a cloud drive folder. If you’re on a Linux distro or macOS, I’m afraid I’m not an expert on those fields so you may have to jump on the Discord to ask for assistance. Alternatively you could try downloading and running the game from the itchio launcher. I’ve heard that has fixed issues of game permissions for some.
I really can't say when we expect the next update to come, as we're both busy with things like university and work.
Make sure to +follow here on itch, on RegalBuster's twitter, or even join the Discord, so you'll be informed whenever we have an announcement to make for future updates.
Thank you for the reply, i like the slime scenes but i was just wondering if we might get more variety of scenes, plus im not all that into dudes, so i gravitate to the ambiguous stuff, great art and sound design though, have high hopes for this game keep it up, im not knocking it. P.s. i completed the game and plenty of scenes were good.
Well, I'm glad you mostly enjoyed what you saw, even though this is definitely a male / male game first and foremost.
There'll certainly be more scenes and variety in the future, though I can't promise any female focused content. Still, hopefully you'll at least somewhat enjoy what's to come, when the next update arrives.
And when can we expect rhis update if you dont mind me asking? Plus im not trying to offend, i was just suggesting expanding your content variety to broaden your audience and revenue because mostly i like the game, its fun and many scenes look good, even though i prefere the ambiguous scenes like the jungle slugs and slimes, i was simply just suggesting female or even herm content for future updates to draw in more fans for the expanding game you have here, this is a good game and i just want to see it grow.
No offence was taken at your comments, don't worry.
Unfortunately, no idea when the next update will come. We're busy with university, jobs, and other social obligations, and as much as we enjoy working on GROVE, it's a side-project as opposed to our full-time commitment.
There appears to be a bug on the Linux version of this release.
Attempting to progress past the first map that loads after the intro sequence results in a loading screen that eventually ends in this error message:
Loading Error Failed to load: img/doodads/Others/shadows_openingcliffpath1.png ["Retry" button]
As a workaround, the Windows version when run on Linux using Wine will load the next screen correctly (and the Itch desktop client for Linux will transparently make this happen in the background if told to install the Windows version instead of the Linux version).
This is likely caused by the case in the ‘Others’ folder name. Try changing it to a lowercase ‘o’ and it should run properly afterwards. A bit of an annoying bug that’ll hopefully be fixed in the next build.
The folder present in the Linux build is already named "others" (just like it is in the Windows build), but renaming it to "Others" seems to have resolved the bug (and allowed progression multiple screens further into the game).
Hey! Love the game but there's a problem. When I play and save the game, the next time I open it all the save files disappear. I can't load my progress which sucks. Tbh, i have this problem with all games made by rpg maker. Idk wether it's just my laptop or I'm doing something wrong...
It sounds like you haven't actually extracted the game from it's ZIP / RAR file. If you don't do that, the game is effectively 'read-only' and none of your saves will actually save.
Make sure you've properly downloaded the game and make sure to extract the files locally on your computer.
Hi, love the game. I'm so confused on how to progress though. Where are you supposed to go after finishing the Northern Gulch area with the blacksmith? The guide says to head east, but I'm not finding any new areas
After the desert place, correct? You are gonna want to head to the left of the tavern/inn back to where you first started, and you will see a new path going down. That's where the 3 adventurers went. Hope this helps!
Not any time soon, sorry. You’ll need to be patient as we’re working at our own pace, and had just finished our break after the 0.2 development rush. Starting to get busy here as well as studies are resuming soon.
I notice when fighting the naga, if you wait, the naga will use "Enthrall" as an action in battle, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure what it's supposed to do. Love the game otherwise, very enjoyable!
The naga's "Enthrall" attack has a few different results, depending on how many times it's been used, and if you're dressed or not.
If it's appearing to have no effect at all... then please make sure you're playing the most recent version of the game, v0.204. There was a bug in the older versions that stopped it from working correctly.

Keep up the great work but don't forget to take breaks every once in a while either.
Thank you very much for your kind comment, mysterious Forest person :)

Hey do you guys have a Patreon we can support?
No Patreon, I'm afraid.
But we'd gladly welcome any support you wanted to provide through an itch.io donation or the direct donation link listed above :)
Alright I can do that next month. :)
Thank you very much!

just wanna say how much i like this game, please please keep developing it i love it alot
Thank you :)
im just starting to play this game and when i got to the cliffside forest i couldnt see anyting it was just plain black
Yep, that's 'cause you're playing on mobile. Because certain plugins we use don't work with mobile, we don't officially support the game on mobile.
If you have a computer, please do play the game on that instead.
I left the forest without wearing the slimy black underwear, because I didn't wanted to use it without a place to teleport back in case of any game over, and the underwear became inert. Is there anyway to reactivate it? Because looks like I have to use it in the glory hole
You'll have to go back to an earlier save / restart I'm afraid.
i just left the game then when i opened the game again all my saved progress is gone
Make sure you are not playing in a cloud save folder, and that you’ve extracted the contents of the .zip file and not just played it via the folder. This may create save generation issues so it’s best to have this game in a local folder directory, ie on your desktop.
-RegalBuster
got it thanks! ^^
i have played through this vn, through and have enjoyed it. so i would like to ask if this game is being updated
It indeed is. Slowly as we’re quite busy at the moment, but still in development. Apologies for the wait!
- RegalBuster
So I downloaded the game and I played through it. sadly my virus protection system picked up the Grove's exe file as a virus and almost crashed my computer. I had to completely delete the game and all it's files. I would love to continue playing this game. What should I do?
Firstly, I can assure you that Grove is not a virus, as I’m sure others can attest to. You could try downloading the game again and seeing if your antivirus picks up on that, but if not, try to add an exception for Grove in the settings or look into temporarily disabling active protection whilst you play the game.
- RegalBuster
your AV?
I'm so happy that I came across this; this game is great! I can't wait for what you guys have planned next!
Thank you for playing!
-RegalBuster

hey, um... i kinda wrote a fan-fiction for this awesome game, inspired by the early part where you save Kuno and acquire his corrupted underwear, then get it purified later. would it be alright if i linked it here? im kinda proud of it and would love to share it with everyone! ^w^

I'm not sure how itch.io handles external links in comments, but you're welcome to try.
Are you on Discord, by the way? You're more than welcome to join the GROVE server and share your kind work of fan-fiction there! I'm sure the folks there would love to see it.
ah cool! i'll give it a try ^w^ looks like the link works so i'll add it to the original comment as well, hope you all enjoy!
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46518358/
and i do use Discord, though i'm a little antisocial and therefore nervous in big crowded servers/chatrooms. i'll give it a look and see ^w^
Love this game!!! Just finished it, and I just wanted to tell you guys, that you are doing a great job! I know you are busy, but I really can't wait for the next part to come out :)
Btw, how do I get the Purple Chess Scene from the Gallery? I just see one tent in the west, but I don't know how to get to it. I also don't know if it's even a tent that unlocks the scene
If you're referring to the chest that's hint mentions a 'newcomer' and his tent...

If you need help getting more Corruption, the Slime Dragons or the Jungle Slugs can help you out. Just make sure you don't get an actual Game Over to them...!
Otherwise, thanks for the kind words on the game so far! It's much appreciated, truly!
我该怎么解锁画廊最后房间中第四个黄金箱子记忆呢？
How do I unlock the memory of the fourth gold chest in the last room of the gallery?
我已经因为打不开它而困扰很久。
I've been having trouble opening it for a long time.
希望能够得到答案。（顺带一提，这个游戏真的很棒！）
I hope to get an answer.(By the way, this game is awesome!)
一開始有兩個教程，打鬥教程與瑟瑟教程，在瑟瑟教程戰敗是一個方法。做夢不至於game over
打斗教程等待到结束就行
Are you talking about the golden chest? You will have to lose to the tutorial encounter in the intro. Hope that helps
- RegalBuster
No, no, no, that's about giving up Kuno (maybe)Like the one in the picture
I don't think I'm understanding, the gold chest you circled in red does require you to lose the tutorial encounter, trust me
As for the 'ignored kuno' flag, that blue box is a fan story, and isn't a part of the actual game
As for the CG... I think it's been scrapped from the game, as it was supposed to be an intro image, sorry
- Regalbuster
Okay, thanks anyway. But there's always one box at the gallery that doesn't open, and I'm not sure if it's my problem. I'll show you when I'm done. Thank you ~
Will there be gallery in the future? Like important scenes or scenes when you got defeated by enemies.
There's a gallery at the end of the game's current story content.
so I did the forest part first finish it then getting the sand armor thing after that going to the desert with the smith and it seem to have broken the story sequence
The smith keep telling me to check the valley but going to the end of the valley only bring me to the next area, finishing that area then going back to the smith but he still ask me to check the valley, going back to the base camp then he already there
Is there anyway to fix this? Cus i don’t want to redo the whole thing
If you've got the sand armour and you can enter the desert, then you don't need to go back to the valley or check on the blacksmith.
Just head on into the desert and continue the story. You're looking for something in the north-east...
If you can't get into the desert because the sand wall is turning you back... then you need to go and talk to the Wizard at the Inn so he can activate the sand armour for you!
Hope that helps.
no no, that not what I mean. I’m not a native speaker so it difficult to explain but there are two blacksmith, one in the desert asking me to check the valley(which I did it just bring me to the next area) and one in the camp finished the stripper armor
It's just a small bug with the game's internal 'switches'. It should not stop you from completing the game and seeing all the content. If you can still go through the valley, go to the desert, get the stripper armour, then it's fine. Just ignore the two blacksmiths.
We are aware of this issue and have fixed it on our internal build.
ah, ok thank you!
A question have you removed the scene about the floodgates. AkA the pic on the game site i cant find it anywhere
No, nothing has been removed from the game. That scene should still take place during the Bandit Leader's game-over scene if you fight him.
What is Unmarked Key use for?
For use in a future update.

Hey there, I really enjoy the game !
Quick question, how do you increase your corruption level ? I know there's one scene that requires you to have something like 7 levels of corruption, but I'm not sure about how to increase those.
Also, except for that scene, does corruption serve for something else ?
Once again, thank you for such a great game !
Generally speaking, you increase your corruption level by willingly making lewd, one-off choices during scenes, or letting yourself get grabbed and 'affected' by enemies such as the slime-dragon's slimesuiting.
Right now, that last thing I mentioned is a way that you can increase corruption infinitely (though it's a bit of a slow method).
Corruption right now changes the dreams you witness when you rest, it unlocks certain lewd scenes, and it can make certain lewd decisions automatically instead of offering you the chance to avoid them.
Oh I see, thanks for the answer ^^
I tried to let myself get "lewded" off of by blue slimes but it doesn't seem to increase my corruption at all. Unless I need to do it multiple times ?
Nah, blue slimes won't work.
You need to use the green slime dragons in the cave, get downed and slime-suited by them... or I think the slugs in the jungle work too, if you get defeated by them.
Oh I see
Alright then, thanks again for your answer ^^
Hey there, so apparently whenever I start a new game from scratch, oddly enough whenever I try to save the game it just won't save whatsoever in any save slots. Any help?
Interesting... not an issue I've heard anybody mention before now.
Just to check, you have extracted / unzipped the game and saved it locally, not on some kind of Cloud-based storage, correct?
Secondly... open the game and check that the 'save' folder actually exists. It should be in the 'www' folder in the same place you've saved the game.
If you've done both of those things and the game still won't save... the best thing I can recommend is a re-install.
I'm currently in the cyber space part and I've been trying to get passed one of the rapidly changing purple/blue squares but so far I've just had to save scum it. Is there an easier way past or do I just gotta get good?
Edit: Never mind I figured it out, had to use the mouse and let the game control my movements. Also good game lads, keep up the good work.
Nicely done figuring it out. You CAN do it through keyboard controls but mouse-clicking is certainly easier.
Thanks a lot for the kind words about the game overall, and thanks a lot for playing!
No problem lad and yeah it can be done with keyboard controls but when it comes to the rapidly changing ones near the end of it, well, it was just easier to use the mouse. Still possible with the keys but just easier to do with the mouse.
It took me forever to get past that and now, only reading this since beating it, do I realise I can do this....Aheheheh.
Hey so, I can't even play the game. When I'm presented with the voice option, either choice presents the following message:
Error: EROFS: read-only file system, mkdir
Hmm, do you mind letting me know if you’re on Windows or Linux/macOS? If you’re on windows, be sure to have the game extracted into its own folder, and to not have it in a cloud drive folder. If you’re on a Linux distro or macOS, I’m afraid I’m not an expert on those fields so you may have to jump on the Discord to ask for assistance. Alternatively you could try downloading and running the game from the itchio launcher. I’ve heard that has fixed issues of game permissions for some.

Ah, I'm on macOS.
Easy fix! You need to tell OS to get the game out of quarantine. Open terminal and type in:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /[PATH OF GAME]/groverpgnsfw-macOS/GROVE_0.204_MACOS/Game.app
Just interesting, should we wait next update until summer? Not like I am impatient, just wander, otherwise I can wait any longer for this masterpiece
I really can't say when we expect the next update to come, as we're both busy with things like university and work.
Make sure to +follow here on itch, on RegalBuster's twitter, or even join the Discord, so you'll be informed whenever we have an announcement to make for future updates.
Will we ever see women in the game? because boobs!
There might be some female NPCs in the future.
As for sexual content featuring women... doubtful, but I wouldn't say an absolute hard no.
Thank you for the reply, i like the slime scenes but i was just wondering if we might get more variety of scenes, plus im not all that into dudes, so i gravitate to the ambiguous stuff, great art and sound design though, have high hopes for this game keep it up, im not knocking it. P.s. i completed the game and plenty of scenes were good.
Well, I'm glad you mostly enjoyed what you saw, even though this is definitely a male / male game first and foremost.
There'll certainly be more scenes and variety in the future, though I can't promise any female focused content. Still, hopefully you'll at least somewhat enjoy what's to come, when the next update arrives.
And when can we expect rhis update if you dont mind me asking? Plus im not trying to offend, i was just suggesting expanding your content variety to broaden your audience and revenue because mostly i like the game, its fun and many scenes look good, even though i prefere the ambiguous scenes like the jungle slugs and slimes, i was simply just suggesting female or even herm content for future updates to draw in more fans for the expanding game you have here, this is a good game and i just want to see it grow.
No offence was taken at your comments, don't worry.
Unfortunately, no idea when the next update will come. We're busy with university, jobs, and other social obligations, and as much as we enjoy working on GROVE, it's a side-project as opposed to our full-time commitment.
There appears to be a bug on the Linux version of this release.
Attempting to progress past the first map that loads after the intro sequence results in a loading screen that eventually ends in this error message:
Loading Error
Failed to load: img/doodads/Others/shadows_openingcliffpath1.png
["Retry" button]
As a workaround, the Windows version when run on Linux using Wine will load the next screen correctly (and the Itch desktop client for Linux will transparently make this happen in the background if told to install the Windows version instead of the Linux version).
This is likely caused by the case in the ‘Others’ folder name. Try changing it to a lowercase ‘o’ and it should run properly afterwards. A bit of an annoying bug that’ll hopefully be fixed in the next build.
- RegalBuster
The folder present in the Linux build is already named "others" (just like it is in the Windows build), but renaming it to "Others" seems to have resolved the bug (and allowed progression multiple screens further into the game).
Hey! Love the game but there's a problem. When I play and save the game, the next time I open it all the save files disappear. I can't load my progress which sucks. Tbh, i have this problem with all games made by rpg maker. Idk wether it's just my laptop or I'm doing something wrong...
It sounds like you haven't actually extracted the game from it's ZIP / RAR file. If you don't do that, the game is effectively 'read-only' and none of your saves will actually save.
Make sure you've properly downloaded the game and make sure to extract the files locally on your computer.
Oh, my bad... Thanks!
Hi, love the game. I'm so confused on how to progress though. Where are you supposed to go after finishing the Northern Gulch area with the blacksmith? The guide says to head east, but I'm not finding any new areas
After the desert place, correct? You are gonna want to head to the left of the tavern/inn back to where you first started, and you will see a new path going down. That's where the 3 adventurers went. Hope this helps!
I REALLY enjoyed it so far, this is some top quality, naughty game in my opinion, with a nice bit of humor.
CARROTS!! owo
Thank you for your kind comments!
After waiting for two months, when can I update it? I have been looking forward to it.
Not any time soon, sorry. You’ll need to be patient as we’re working at our own pace, and had just finished our break after the 0.2 development rush. Starting to get busy here as well as studies are resuming soon.
-RegalBuster
Will this game have APK file for android in the future?
Maybe, but it’s something we’re not considering at the moment
How can I get the latest version of apple in the flowchart
I notice when fighting the naga, if you wait, the naga will use "Enthrall" as an action in battle, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure what it's supposed to do. Love the game otherwise, very enjoyable!
The naga's "Enthrall" attack has a few different results, depending on how many times it's been used, and if you're dressed or not.
If it's appearing to have no effect at all... then please make sure you're playing the most recent version of the game, v0.204. There was a bug in the older versions that stopped it from working correctly.
