You need to go down the well, south of the Inn. Talk to the Innkeeper and the Blacksmith. You should be able to get a key to open the gate and go down the well.
You found him, that's the special merchant. And if you can synthesize stuff at the Inn, that means you got the synthesis cauldron too.
The 'skimpy covers' aren't called that on the synthesis list. You're looking to make the material it's made from, near the bottom of the list. Good luck.
Haha I thought I deleted my original post because I realized it was stupid. Didn't expect that you still got it. Thanks for your reply.
Yes I realized that I got it already. And because I'm using another language patch, I didn't know the thing I'm currently equipped is the "skimpy cover" itself.
This was hands down the best combat/adult RPG I have tried. Having a real storyline, awesome intrigue, a lot of good *scenes* for every taste as well, but beautifully written and lovely drawings as well! I was so sad when I hit the wall of the last update. EAGERLY awaiting the next installment as I have loved the story and I have loved getting to know the world and characters. <3
Ohh, thank you very much for the impassioned review! It's always a pleasure to hear such kind words, and we hope we'll continue to please when future updates eventually arrive!
This is my first RPG game that combines combat with adult content in the game I play, and even has different CGs determined by different states, which makes my eyes shine. As the task progresses, the construction of the campsite becomes more and more complete, and I really like this detail. At the same time, there are different mechanisms to fill the fun of the game, such as the 123 Wooden Man at the Mine Bat, and some interesting equipment acquisition mechanisms. If you miss them, you really miss them. The protagonist is really cute. I don't know what the subsequent plot between him and Red Dragon will be like, haha
The art style may be still in production, sometimes good or bad, but this does not affect
In terms of combat, I feel that there is a psychological gap in the numerical value of the attack. I feel that I need to attack for a long time to eliminate this monster. I hope there will be some adjustments in the later stage, otherwise it will only highlight the complexity, because I must rely on ordinary attacks, waiting, and being beaten to accumulate and release TP skills, Even when I am down and there is no TP left, I can only give players a certain choice by waiting and being beaten in the hope of increasing the reply method of TP, and at the same time, the additional reply method of TP requires some requirements
In terms of decryption exploration, there are some places where the prompts were not given properly. For example, the gathering place of bandits only reminded me to be vigilant (perhaps due to translation issues I am not sure) and did not tell me that I can solve the enemy by approaching him from behind. Also, after I eliminated the bandit leader, I am not sure how the hidden room was opened, or I only discovered it when I went in and searched casually later.
I hope there will be a place to review the combat tutorial in the future.
This is my first comment and there will definitely be some omissions, but I really like this game and I look forward to your future updates. And I saw your new work on Bilibili, and Chinese players are also looking forward to your new work. So am I. Please forgive my English, my English is not good because these are all machine translated meanings, which may not be what I want to express. If it makes you feel unhappy, please forgive me
Thank you for sharing your review! I understood most of things you said.
We will continue to test combat difficulty to try and make the game feel balanced. There are a lot of people with a lot of skill levels playing our game so finding a balance is not an easy task.
And we are glad to hear that Chinese players are enjoying our other game, Prowler!
3. Go to the 'General' tab, then at the bottom (above the lock), grant an exception for the 'GROVE' app and click 'Open Anyway'.
If that doesn't work... try this:
Download the normal version of NW.js (https://nwjs.io/) and transfer the app to Applications. Make sure to grant it permissions under the Privacy and Security setting after trying to open it. In terminal, launch the game with this command (substitute NAME for your Mac username): open -n -a nwjs --args "/Users/NAME/Desktop/Grove_0.308"
So we've been looking into it and I'm afraid I've got bad news. We think it’s a thing with the newest version of Mac… proprietary stuff. Unfortunately we don’t really possess the hardware to test it (latest Mac version) since the small Mac we have for testing only goes up to the version before the latest. It's probably a permissions issue with the M1 chip, which really sucks... and we highly doubt they'd allow a game like Grove to be provided with a dev license, hah...
Wow, played it all on the last three days, and I must say, 8 hours of pure lascive content. Latex and corruption fetish got so much love from this game, thank you devs so much ^w^
Already anxious for the next update!
And can I ask a thing devs 👉👈? Was I playing wrong or is the game hard by design? Other than obtaining the sex scenes, I lost so much, even grinding and having a full inventory of regenaration items of hp and tp. Also, grapple moves, even if sexy, seems so underpowered (even with the skanty clothes).
Anyway, loved it! You guys are making smth amazing!
Thanks a lot for the praise, it's much appreciated!
The game isn't intended to be very hard. It really depends on using your skills, weapon and armour set in the best way possible. If you're using grapple moves, strip off as soon as possible to get big grapple damage buffs, and save your best attack for the final grapple phase for bonus damage.
Hello, im kinda stuck on finding tasks and all and that Kuno that was kiddnaped by the blue slime i cant find him anywhere i searched everywhere and im still stuck, can anyone help me?
Hey! I was curious if it was possible to get all the armor pieces once you've beaten the game? I missed a couple (specifically the skimpy covers), so I was hoping I didn't need to play from the beginning again to watch the scenes.
Also wanted to say I absolutely LOVE the game! It's been a great experience and I can't wait for another update! Thank you for being active on your forms and making such a great game! :)
It is indeed possible to get all of the amour pieces once you've beaten the game. The skimpy covers can be crafted with the Synthesis Cauldron and certain enemy spoils.
Highlight below for spoilers: The Synthesis Cauldron can be acquired by finding the secret merchant. You can find him by travelling to the jungle, jumping down into the slug caverns, and making your way to the far side. The hardened black sludge can be found in the valley that connects the abandoned northern settlement to the desert.
This was an absolutely lovely game, i really want more so badly!! But don't worry, I can wait~ Also not sure how many pets or corrupted/cursed items there are. Only got the wisp and the thong, i searched every nook and cranny
Sounds like you've got a few things you can still find! Check the gallery in Grove's room at the inn, which will give you some hints towards some of the things you missed.
Additionally, you can also check out this guide. It's not for the full game, but it help with a few things: https://qazm.itch.io/a-grove-timeline (don't forget to give Qazm a nice comment if you use his guide!)
Oh i did look at the hints! Tho most of them dont make sense to me yet but I'll give the guide a look see! Also ngl, if you do comms, I'd 100% get some with the enemies of the game~
I'm afraid we don't offer commissions. But you're welcome to buy one from another artist, featuring enemies or characters from the game. Just please make sure you mention that to the artist, so proper credit can be given.
How can I complete the "new source" task with finding new materials in the mine? I don't understand where I'm supposed to in a way since right now I'm in front of the entrance to the mine in Cliffside Cave, but no secret way or passage outside of what was already searched. I go to where the slime dragons are and to the entry way but it says I have no reason to go there.
You're in the wrong spot I'm afraid. You need to go to the mines at the Primary Division settlement.
Head to the Northern Bridge Campsite via your Docs Case, and cross the bridge to the north. Just keep going straight north and you'll find the building entrance, with a certain fella waiting outside for you.
Just so you know, there's no need to rush to acquire all of Bizz's items. They're intended to be something to work towards over the course of the full game.
If you're determined to try and get them sooner rather than later though... fighting slugs and selling their drops is one of the better ways. (but it'll still take a long time).
Hello, author.I like this game very much.I'm also looking forward to the rest of the story of this game.So when will the following story be updated?Secondly, I also like the music of this game.Especially the music of the central camp, so does the author want to make the music public?I really like this game, and I hope the author will be better and better in the future.
One word: Sublime. I went through the entire story all in one sitting, a full 12 hours (im so tired...). Looking forward to seeing what comes next from this!
Whoa, thanks a lot for powering through our game! It's great to know you could get such a long and enjoyable experience out of it... and that you consider it worthy enough to even do such a thing in the first place!
Without knowing where exactly you are, I can only guess...
If you've accepted the task, you need to head to the blue slime forest. A new pathway has opened up for you to find. Follow the wooden boards.
As for dealing with the enemy up there... try using a careful mixture of the Resist and the Wait grapple skills. With good timing, and paying attention to the visuals, you might be able to deal a big chunk of damage.
I've really been enjoying this game so far. The story and characters are fun, and there's a crazy amount of detail in how many environmental objects can be examined. My only complaints are a couple of missing quality of life features. It would be nice to be able to change keybinds (for easier one-handed play lol), and I also wish there was an option to load saves without going to main menu. A skip dialogue button would be nice too for replaying sections (holding down the next button feels a little slow during longer sequences of dialogue).
Anyway, just wanna say again how much I like this game! Keep up the great work, looking forward to future updates.
Thanks kindly! Adding all sorts of things to be examined in the world is a lot of fun, and it's always nice to know when it's appreciated.
We'd like to make more quality of life tweaks to the game, but there's only so much we can do with RPG Maker. Nonetheless, I hope you'll continue to enjoy future updates.
I find Grove to be really a interesting game. It carries such charm I rarely find in games, it is very hot and sexual which I quite enjoy of course but it’s charm and the bits of comedy in between are setting it apart the moments of character development and interaction make it stand out from games with just cardboard fuck sticks only there for sexappeal even Grove who literally has not had dialogue we hear and is canonically on the silent side has a lot of charm and character in his love for carrots and silliness mixed in with serious swordsmen.
I am looking forward to any future update whenever they may come and while talking about updates I appreciate how you structure updates when 0.3 came out I was astounded how much content it had so the method of big but more irregular updates with that much content and quality is really amazing.
I mostly hope that in the future we are not just able to corrupt Grove himself but maybe also slightly pervert some of our allies.
Thanks a lot for the kind words! Hearing people praise the characters and the charm even over the sexual content is always super encouraging and lets us know we're not wasting our time in trying to include funny, charming and more characterful moments as well as the sexual content.
Future updates will come, and we'll try to continue making them fairly substantial in terms of content! Thank you for your patience, and for your praise.
It is undeniable that this is a great game, whether it is the protagonist 'grove''s past or the reasons for the changes in the north, it keeps people curious and looking forward to it.
With further exploration, there will be new companions and enemies, a mage companion with flame ability and methods to temporarily resist corruption? Rotten Vine Enemy? A box shaped enemy that imprisons people and corrupts them? Or perhaps there will be more pets, and this time they will not only follow you but also automatically participate in your battles! just like slim.
These are some immature ideas, and I will support you in both material and spiritual terms.
Commenting again cause I think I'm almost at the end of the game. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO CREATIVE on certain sections of the game. I love that it's not a repetitive hack and slash or fetch quest especially with
SPOILERS
moth man.
I just have one request and hope it gets heard. I'm sensing a relationship system everytime the screen turns white with certain dragons. Hear me out, hope mothman and spiderguy gets a cute redemption arc and make them less corrupted but still sexy D: then join the village. Make them romanceable plez. That is all my request. But so far, pretty awesome game!
Thanks a lot for playing, and all the kind words of encouragement an interest and praise for the game mechanics and characters! Makes us feel real glad when we see people latching on to the various characters, friend and foe alike.
And your suggestion is acknowledged. We don't comment on which suggestions we do and don't take, but thanks for caring enough to give one.
I LOVE THIS GAME! THIS IS THE SAME FEELING I GOT WHEN I WAS PLAYING ROBIN MORNINGWOOD ON BETA. I KNOW this has lots of potential, not only is it sexy but the lore, writing, and design is superb. I would love to see the day of its completion. Where do I donate to support other than this itch.io page?
PS, I love that it is actually challenging. And is it weird I'm getting Fear and Hunger vibes on the music and enemy movements? Lastly, I hope there's a way you can add a Load button on the menu for QoL. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the kind words of praise across multiple aspects of our game! Means a great deal you'd consider it up there with some of the other greats in the space.
As for donations or support, itch.io is the place! We haven't got a Patreon or anything like that, so if you'd like to send any money, just hit that Download Now button :)
For some reason I can not think of who the person is that offers in the bat cave part or post it before the moth scene to have a fantastic night. Any help? I found everything else in the new build but this
Yo, are you maybe looking for someone to give the game a Portuguese/Brazilian translation? I've never really translated games before but, if you're interested I frankly wouldn't mind taking some off time to help with translation efforts. If you like the idea I might make a alt on discord so I can more easily come into contact. Thanks!
You're certainly welcome to give it a go, but... there's a LOT of text in the game to go through. If you're up for a big challenge, then please feel free to.
Most of the translation efforts use Translator++, with manual touch-ups to the machine translation's first pass. Give it a go, see how the workflow feels and how much effort and time it's going to take, and if you're up for the challenge.
Hello there, im not sure if the answer is very simple, but im not sure how to get the gooey skinsuit thing that i got during the slime smith fight, none of the slimed dragons seem to do the attack and once i beat the smith the fight ended and i imediately got transported back to the camp.
The slimed dragons will give it to you if they grapple you, and fully complete their grapple sequence. Just let 'em have their fun, and you'll be able to acquire it ;)

help, after I save some random dragon from a green slime. What do I do next?
You need to go down the well, south of the Inn. Talk to the Innkeeper and the Blacksmith. You should be able to get a key to open the gate and go down the well.
Where is the Blacksmith?
The purple dragon in the stone building near the Inn.
You found him, that's the special merchant. And if you can synthesize stuff at the Inn, that means you got the synthesis cauldron too.
The 'skimpy covers' aren't called that on the synthesis list. You're looking to make the material it's made from, near the bottom of the list. Good luck.
Haha I thought I deleted my original post because I realized it was stupid. Didn't expect that you still got it. Thanks for your reply.

hi im trying to play the game but everytime i open the game it just shuts it off again and it doesnt let me play im playing on a macbook pro 2023
Going to need some more information before we can necessarily help you.
Firstly, I assume you've downloaded and are trying to launch the MacOS version, yes?
Secondly, does any kind of error message appear? If so, please share it with us so we can help.
1. yes i launched macos
2. no error message appears it just shuts the game down nothing appears on my screen when it happens the game just disapears
Alright... OK, first things first, try this:
1. Open 'System Preferences'
2. Go to 'Security and Privacy'
3. Go to the 'General' tab, then at the bottom (above the lock), grant an exception for the 'GROVE' app and click 'Open Anyway'.
If that doesn't work... try this:
Download the normal version of NW.js (https://nwjs.io/) and transfer the app to Applications. Make sure to grant it permissions under the Privacy and Security setting after trying to open it.
In terminal, launch the game with this command (substitute NAME for your Mac username): open -n -a nwjs --args "/Users/NAME/Desktop/Grove_0.308"
the first method is how i always do it and the 2nd method has the same result it just crashes again without any error code or smt
So we've been looking into it and I'm afraid I've got bad news. We think it’s a thing with the newest version of Mac… proprietary stuff. Unfortunately we don’t really possess the hardware to test it (latest Mac version) since the small Mac we have for testing only goes up to the version before the latest. It's probably a permissions issue with the M1 chip, which really sucks... and we highly doubt they'd allow a game like Grove to be provided with a dev license, hah...
Sorry about that...
Hey I'm a bit stuck. where do I find hardened slug secretion??? And how do I get it???
You can acquire them as drops from defeating slugs, and you can also find them in a certain container down in the slug den area.
Best game ever! But is there any progress on the 0.308 Japanese version?
I would be so happy if there is or if development is in progress!
help, I stuck at the time after I save some random dragon from a green slime. What do I do next?
Wow, played it all on the last three days, and I must say, 8 hours of pure lascive content. Latex and corruption fetish got so much love from this game, thank you devs so much ^w^
Already anxious for the next update!
And can I ask a thing devs 👉👈? Was I playing wrong or is the game hard by design? Other than obtaining the sex scenes, I lost so much, even grinding and having a full inventory of regenaration items of hp and tp.

Hey, try using daggers and its bleed attacks, bleed scales with the amount of max health, so even bosses takes good damage from this.
Oh, thanks!
有一个应该是bug的玩意，按下TAB键后按空格键会导致画面上下抽动
Hello, im kinda stuck on finding tasks and all and that Kuno that was kiddnaped by the blue slime i cant find him anywhere i searched everywhere and im still stuck, can anyone help me?
Great game btw.
After kuno gets grabbed he is one screen right and up, you can follow a trail of his armor on the ground covered in slime
Thanks so much!
Hey! I was curious if it was possible to get all the armor pieces once you've beaten the game? I missed a couple (specifically the skimpy covers), so I was hoping I didn't need to play from the beginning again to watch the scenes.
Also wanted to say I absolutely LOVE the game! It's been a great experience and I can't wait for another update! Thank you for being active on your forms and making such a great game! :)

thank you! I wasn't aware of that!
This was an absolutely lovely game, i really want more so badly!! But don't worry, I can wait~ Also not sure how many pets or corrupted/cursed items there are. Only got the wisp and the thong, i searched every nook and cranny

Will the latest Japanese version be released?
We've had difficulties finding reliable volunteers to translate the game into Japanese. Right now, I can't make any promises about that. Sorry.
Understood.
Then can I volunteer to translate Japanese?
I don't know if I can reliably...
Thanks for the offer. We are contact with some people already. If it does not work with them, maybe you can try.
Got it! I hope that your wonderful work will spread further.
Six months have passed, maybe it's time to make a fan-made on v0.3?
How can I complete the "new source" task with finding new materials in the mine? I don't understand where I'm supposed to in a way since right now I'm in front of the entrance to the mine in Cliffside Cave, but no secret way or passage outside of what was already searched.

Thank you for the help! Think I just got confused between the places.
sooooo is there anyway not to let the bat escape the cave >.> I'm way too jealous of that bat
Aren’t we all jealous of that damn bat? Damn you blacksmith for not taking us instead!
Straight up I refuse to play until I find a way around it. I don't know why it has me this level of angry
Because we where all simping the blacksmith? I feel robbed TmT
So new update coming soon? its been month since i done the quest :(
We have no timeframe on when the next update will arrive. Thank you for your interest, and please be patient in the meantime.
How do you farm money in this game? Does anyone have a guide?
Just so you know, there's no need to rush to acquire all of Bizz's items. They're intended to be something to work towards over the course of the full game.
If you're determined to try and get them sooner rather than later though... fighting slugs and selling their drops is one of the better ways. (but it'll still take a long time).
Hello, author.I like this game very much.I'm also looking forward to the rest of the story of this game.So when will the following story be updated?Secondly, I also like the music of this game.Especially the music of the central camp, so does the author want to make the music public?I really like this game, and I hope the author will be better and better in the future.
We hope to update the game again before the end of the year. Thank you for your interest, and please wait patiently!
The music of the game has been licensed for use, so we cannot share it for free. Sorry about that! We appreciate the kind words about the music!
One word: Sublime. I went through the entire story all in one sitting, a full 12 hours (im so tired...). Looking forward to seeing what comes next from this!
Whoa, thanks a lot for powering through our game! It's great to know you could get such a long and enjoyable experience out of it... and that you consider it worthy enough to even do such a thing in the first place!
Get some rest, and thanks so much!
why so dark ?? how can see it ?? so dark
This is why it says "THIS GAME IS NOT SUPPORTED FOR MOBILE EMULATION! THERE ARE MULTIPLE VISUAL ERRORS!"
😭😭😭😭
When Playing GROVE using JoiPlay...
Try holding down the GROVE game icon, Select "Edit Plugins", then disable YEP_GridFreeDoodads & YEP_X_ExtDoodadPack1
Does it have another playable character feature?
No, just one character is playable.
Grove's love for carrots brightens my day. Keep up the great work devs!!! You're killing it with this game!!!
Thank you very much!
im on a cromebook which one do i download
You'll want to use the Linux version. Here's some instructions if you're new to launching games with Linux.
- Extract the downloaded archive into it’s own folder one it has completed, then open that folder
- There should be a tab at the top of the folder viewer that says GROVE V0.308 Linux. Click on the dropdown arrow for its tab.
- Click on "open in terminal".
Once the terminal opens, type
./GROVE.sh
Then Click Enter
- The terminal will do its thing, wait a few moments, and then the game should launch!
How do I extract it?
...can't you just right-click on the folder that you downloaded and click an option that says "extract all" or something to that effect?
How can I complete the "orange task"?
Without knowing where exactly you are, I can only guess...
If you've accepted the task, you need to head to the blue slime forest. A new pathway has opened up for you to find. Follow the wooden boards.
As for dealing with the enemy up there... try using a careful mixture of the Resist and the Wait grapple skills. With good timing, and paying attention to the visuals, you might be able to deal a big chunk of damage.

I so want to play it but it game not hv Android can download, so sad 😢😢😢
Update 0.4, is it coming out this year or just next year?
I've been following Grover since the first version and I still haven't regretted it.
Hopefully this year, yeah! We're loosely aiming for a yearly release!
If it has the same quality as V0.3, we can wait with pleasure.
I find Grove to be really a interesting game.
It carries such charm I rarely find in games, it is very hot and sexual which I quite enjoy of course but it’s charm and the bits of comedy in between are setting it apart the moments of character development and interaction make it stand out from games with just cardboard fuck sticks only there for sexappeal even Grove who literally has not had dialogue we hear and is canonically on the silent side has a lot of charm and character in his love for carrots and silliness mixed in with serious swordsmen.

Thanks a lot for the kind words! Hearing people praise the characters and the charm even over the sexual content is always super encouraging and lets us know we're not wasting our time in trying to include funny, charming and more characterful moments as well as the sexual content.
Future updates will come, and we'll try to continue making them fairly substantial in terms of content! Thank you for your patience, and for your praise.
hey there! i know imma sound dumb when i say dis but may i get a hint at where da well gate is?
The well gate is to the south of the Quiet Meadow Inn. Go all the way south, and then turn east / right at the junction. That's where the well is.
It is undeniable that this is a great game, whether it is the protagonist 'grove''s past or the reasons for the changes in the north, it keeps people curious and looking forward to it.
With further exploration, there will be new companions and enemies, a mage companion with flame ability and methods to temporarily resist corruption? Rotten Vine Enemy? A box shaped enemy that imprisons people and corrupts them? Or perhaps there will be more pets, and this time they will not only follow you but also automatically participate in your battles! just like slim.
These are some immature ideas, and I will support you in both material and spiritual terms.
Thank you for the support and the suggestions
Commenting again cause I think I'm almost at the end of the game. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO CREATIVE on certain sections of the game. I love that it's not a repetitive hack and slash or fetch quest especially with

moth man.
I just have one request and hope it gets heard. I'm sensing a relationship system everytime the screen turns white with certain dragons. Hear me out, hope mothman and spiderguy gets a cute redemption arc and make them less corrupted but still sexy D: then join the village. Make them romanceable plez. That is all my request. But so far, pretty awesome game!

Just got back from moth's arc, HOLY CRAP I'm even more excited now
Thanks a lot for playing, and all the kind words of encouragement an interest and praise for the game mechanics and characters! Makes us feel real glad when we see people latching on to the various characters, friend and foe alike.
And your suggestion is acknowledged. We don't comment on which suggestions we do and don't take, but thanks for caring enough to give one.
When I first downloaded this game, after looking at the screenshots and seeing the version number, I expected it to be a short demo of sorts.
Instead of that I got a staggering amount of content - it's hard to believe all this quality entertainment is available under "name your own price"!
Thank you!
Thank you for playing, and the kind praise! Donations are indeed welcomed, but entirely optional of course!
I LOVE THIS GAME! THIS IS THE SAME FEELING I GOT WHEN I WAS PLAYING ROBIN MORNINGWOOD ON BETA. I KNOW this has lots of potential, not only is it sexy but the lore, writing, and design is superb. I would love to see the day of its completion. Where do I donate to support other than this itch.io page?
PS, I love that it is actually challenging. And is it weird I'm getting Fear and Hunger vibes on the music and enemy movements? Lastly, I hope there's a way you can add a Load button on the menu for QoL. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the kind words of praise across multiple aspects of our game! Means a great deal you'd consider it up there with some of the other greats in the space.
As for donations or support, itch.io is the place! We haven't got a Patreon or anything like that, so if you'd like to send any money, just hit that Download Now button :)
Is there any posible way to play this on mobile?
MaldiVes works but has poor performance. JoiPlay works but has visual errors due to not supporting some systems we use.
I've heard the paid version of JoiPlay works better. That can be found through their Patreon.
Ohhh well isnt it the kind of game where u can click and play like the usuall menu at the start?
Nope. The game requires an emulator to be played properly on mobile. And like I said, the emulators are both flawed choices.
Like it says on this page, in bold text: "
THIS GAME IS NOT SUPPORTED FOR MOBILE EMULATION! THERE ARE MULTIPLE VISUAL ERRORS!"
oop okie
For some reason I can not think of who the person is that offers in the bat cave part or post it before the moth scene to have a fantastic night. Any help? I found everything else in the new build but this
When you reach the room with the purple mineral, a bat will appear and close a gate. Talk to him and accept his offer.
Man am I dumb. I replayed it but thought it was one of the prisoned bats after I blow up the gate
Yo, are you maybe looking for someone to give the game a Portuguese/Brazilian translation? I've never really translated games before but, if you're interested I frankly wouldn't mind taking some off time to help with translation efforts. If you like the idea I might make a alt on discord so I can more easily come into contact. Thanks!
You're certainly welcome to give it a go, but... there's a LOT of text in the game to go through. If you're up for a big challenge, then please feel free to.
Most of the translation efforts use Translator++, with manual touch-ups to the machine translation's first pass. Give it a go, see how the workflow feels and how much effort and time it's going to take, and if you're up for the challenge.
Hello there, im not sure if the answer is very simple, but im not sure how to get the gooey skinsuit thing that i got during the slime smith fight, none of the slimed dragons seem to do the attack and once i beat the smith the fight ended and i imediately got transported back to the camp.
The slimed dragons will give it to you if they grapple you, and fully complete their grapple sequence. Just let 'em have their fun, and you'll be able to acquire it ;)
