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
Best game I've ever played, tops a lot of mainstream games like Zelda, Fortinite Mario, Halo, Metroid, maybe even The Last of Us for me, I'm 100% gonna play through the entire thing again once a major storyline update comes out
Thank you. Your writing was really inspiring here; I don't think there was one character I didn't find endearing in their own way. I was really surprised seeing you portray the dragons in a less noble light, and also your NPC characters were all adorable! If this is some setup for a story path where Grove confronts the less savory parts of the empire and rights those wrongs, I'm all for it. I remember combing that ship cave top to bottom to make sure I didn't miss any fun story hooks either.
Thanks for the amazing game. Behind all the fun scenes, there's also some REALLY solid world building.
Thank you very much for the kind words on the word building and story writing! It's something we put just as much effort into and it's always a pleasure to hear when it ends up resonating with folks beyond just the lewd and sexual stuff!
As for where the story is going, we can't yet say, but we hope you'll stick around and find it interesting when the time comes!
I've played this game from both the pure and corruption routes and I got to say this game is just awesome in both routes. I also like to add that I'm glad you guys added spiders and moths into the game as well. A lot (and I mean a lot) of furry (or should I say scalie in this case? games tend to never add any anthro insects to their games so I'm glad to see them getting some love. I'm excited to see more.
Thank you very much! Ultimately it all comes down to taste, but it has been nice seeing the positive reception to our insectoid designs, even amongst folk who normally DON'T like such creatures
Spent the last week playing the game and I can say I finally completed and collected all the gallery scenes. I give it a 10/10 and can't wait to see what's in store for Grove and friends. I really enjoyed the world building and store I'm so intrigued as to what's going on in the area causing all the corruption to the land and its inhabitants.
I do have a few questions about future development that I'd like to pick you guys brains about.
Will we have more encounters/enemies like the enthralled explorer? That was one of the hottest moments in the game and I liked how your only options were the grapple moves and the resist option. I couldn't resist the urge to lose a few times.
Is there a chance that we see the bandit group again? That was a fun little arc and I was hoping to see more of them.
Will we also get answers as to where that snake guy came from in the desert? :o
Alright that's all I have, keep up the great work on this game and Prowler!!!!<3
Thanks a bunch for the kind praise on our game! It's always appreciated when somebody says they enjoyed the character and plot as much as the porn. Thank you, thank you.
As for your questions... we're not going to give specifics, but hopefully there will indeed be more of the snakes, bandits, and enemies with more unique forms of battle like the enthralled explorer!
Hey i started playing today and im having a blast, I love it a LOT! Although its super difficult when im playing without any walkthroughs, im currently in the desert and i beat the sand cobra, after that i had no idea what i had to do, could you please give any help on what to do after beating the Sand Cobra? Cause i genuinely have no idea what to do. love the game though its really good.
Attempt to enter the desert. The game should teleport you back to the Quiet Meadow. From there you need to go to the jungle. Leave the Quiet Meadow via the bottom-left exit, follow the path to the cliffs, and then head south.
Hello! It's me again, I'll say it again, the game is the best. Yes, it’s just... “hand drawings” and “pixel drawings” are a little incompatible, and I just tried to redraw the green slime for myself as an example. After all, in the game "Prowler" everything is in pixels.
I have a question that is more out of mere morbidity and curiosity than anything else. Is there a way to, you know, activate "scenes" with the rangers, or the blacksmith independent of quests? Or will it be implemented in the future? ;⩊;
¡Oh muchas gracias! (Thank you so much!) , It will be a pleasure to play the new future content you prepare. I'm so excited, I really appreciate it. I hope your development goes well, good luck!! :D
Quick question. I just finished exploring the jungle part, and have the dessert armor, but I cant find where to go, or the red veteran. Can someone explain where those are, or if they're still in development?
Make sure you took the armour to the Wizard at the Inn. He'll install some charms on it so you can now go to the desert in the north. You might want to check in with the guy who gave you the armour as well, he'll give you some tips to help desert exploration.
I know this is probably a commonly asked question, but would this game ever be possible on mobile? Like i used to play it on pc and to be fair 10/10 game, i just want to play it again
Due to certain plugins and functions we use for the game that don't easily work with emulators, we don't recommend playing the game on mobile... but you CAN play it if you want, but there'll be missing graphics and other oddities.
Not much we can do besides a fundamental reworking of the game's coding... and much as we appreciate people playing, we don't really want to compromise on our mechanics and artistry. Sorry.
In the jungle. From the "jungle campsite", climb the vines, and keep going to the north-east (top-right). It's where you jumped across some stones in a river to save somebody in the past.
Oh gosh I love the game! I haven't run into any issues so far besides the fact that I might finish what I have so far, and I really don't want that T^T. I look forward to the next update!
Oh, thank you for your quick response The game you guys made was really fun and nice! Can't wait for next update I'm planning to purchase it as soon as it's released
There is a cutscene with Kuno, right? But I don't understand how to unlock it. Do I need to gather enough corrupstion and use tent in the Jungle camp? If so, how much corrupstion?
I love Kuno, he's such a cutie and I want to get as many of him as possible
Lose a certain battle early in the game, and there'll be a scene with Kuno. If you're looking for something that's just Grove and Kuno together, there's currently no such scene.
Appreciate how much you enjoy his character, though!
sorry if is this somewhere already. but if i get to much curruption will i like lose or get a bad end or smthn? cus i dont wanna get curruption on porpose if so. thank you
If your corruption is high, there are some decisions you can make that can give you a game over. But they'll always be something optional, or a decision. You can't "lock" yourself into an unwinnable situation.
Add a hidden area in the second map where there is a cave and when you enter there are some skunk drones that will try to make you smell their farts. The game over could be Grove being a fart slave. I think that would be pretty cool.
Really nice game. It is one of the best rpg's/nsfw's I've played (als one of the few nsfw's with a real storyline in it, wich I like).
I did discover a few "bugs"/faults, wich I would like to report:
- When the smiths assistant mimics Tuo, his skin color will change after the imitation from purple to blue (he certainly can imitate others very well ;-) ).
- During one of the first conversations with the auxiliary commander, there is a hidden question. (the question has no text in the textbox, it is just an empty space) Grove will say he expected the commander to look more like a snake.
- I believe the text for the charged slug battle when wearing no latchers is the same as when you wear 2 latchers (it still says: with 2 parasitic cocksleeves)
- when closing the screen of my laptop (forcing it to sleep mode) while playing, the game takes a few minutes before you can see the next line of text or can go to another area (I normaly wouldn't mind, but I'd rather not have my laptop open when someone unexpectedly enters the room ;-) )
Good luck with the game, I am looking forward to the next update!
Thanks for the praise on the game! Glad you enjoyed yourself by and large. Appreciate the feedback too. Some responses:
- The hidden question with the Auxiliary Commander is intentional, just a little in-joke amongst our Discord community.
- The lag from closing your game and forcing it to sleep is unfortunately an issue with regards to the game engine itself. There's... not really much we can do about that I'm afraid. The best solution would be pausing and minimizing the game.
Otherwise, we'll look into those little issues and see if they can be fixed. Thanks again!
awesome game man, I played the latest Jupiter expansion and I have to say pure work of art
I hope version 2 comes out soon because I'm eager to see what obscene game overs Gioco will have to deal with
Why don't you do some scenes where the bandit leader captures Kuno, Finall, Jaler and converts them into three latex drones under his orders?
also it would be fun to see a new wave of green slimes or a purple or black variant attacking the camp converting its inhabitants into slime dragons, could you consider this idea?
I wish you my best wishes and that your work and personal life go well
I'm enjoying the game but I have to call uncle and ask for help as I'm thoroughly confused on how to proceed.
I can't enter the desert because I lack the garments for it. I defeated the snake boss thing and got a dusty bun from them, but there doesn't seem to be anyone to give it too? I talked to every npc on all the screens i have access to (including the newcomer) and nothing comes of it.
I've seen people mention a jungle but if it exists I don't have access to it yet. Thought I might have missed an exit but after ramming my face against the edge of every screen I have access to I don't think so.
When you reach the desert entrance and the game informs you that you cannot pass, you're teleported back to the Quiet Meadow campsite. That should be your first clue your new goal isn't back there... we're not going to bring you back just to make you return in that direction.
At that point the game also should pop up with a little message saying you want to go track down the adventurer trio, and that they left for the south. Considering the areas you visited were the "northern bridge camp" and "northern settlement" and "northern desert"... it should hopefully click that you want to go the opposite direction from all that.
I love the way you guy respond with every comments from us, I hope you could do your best with the final and then... continue with the game :3 Forgive me, I love your game sooo much
Hey, cool game, but I think the latest build (v0.308) that auto downloads in itch client is actually 0.122a. Didn't realize until I noticed the fences everywhere.
The game sadly seems to crash before starting for apple silicone :( I loved this game when I played it on mac intel so I'm sad I can't play with the new laptop.
Hey SabSab, unfortunately we don't have an apple silicone cpu computer to test Grove on, but I suspect that they've changed permission settings in a new OS update. Apologies...
yo just wanted to say that the game iz amazing <3. I loved the writing and the complexity of the world that seems to loom as the story progresses. Keep it up u all, tis a lovely game! (and gud luck with your finals :3)
After crossing the bridge accompanied by the blacksmith, he asks me to explore and look for clues.I explore the map, enter the cave and fight a snake boss.After that the game doesn't progress, Idk what to do
Next to that cave is the entrance to the desert. Try entering the desert, and the game should then teleport you elsewhere and give you a hint on what to do next.

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.
Best game I've ever played, tops a lot of mainstream games like Zelda, Fortinite Mario, Halo, Metroid, maybe even The Last of Us for me, I'm 100% gonna play through the entire thing again once a major storyline update comes out
Very kind of you to say so, thank you
At this point I'm in it for the story
Appreciate the sentiment!

As for where the story is going, we can't yet say, but we hope you'll stick around and find it interesting when the time comes!
What is a "backup build"?
It's a version of the game from the previous update.
If you would like, I would like to help you with Japanese translation.
Thank you for the offer. When we are close to finishing the next update, we'll look into more Japanese translators.
I've played this game from both the pure and corruption routes and I got to say this game is just awesome in both routes. I also like to add that I'm glad you guys added spiders and moths into the game as well.

Sorry, but since they're a special collectable, we don't like to give hints or clues for the apples.

Attempt to enter the desert. The game should teleport you back to the Quiet Meadow. From there you need to go to the jungle. Leave the Quiet Meadow via the bottom-left exit, follow the path to the cliffs, and then head south.
It's not in the desert, but another underground place nearby.
Quick question. will this game have some mind control, but which will not result in game over?
Sorry, but we don't like to spoil specifics and kinks like that. You'll have to wait and see.
I can't wait to see
Hello! It's me again, I'll say it again, the game is the best. Yes, it’s just... “hand drawings” and “pixel drawings” are a little incompatible, and I just tried to redraw the green slime for myself as an example. After all, in the game "Prowler" everything is in pixels.
(I can't load the picture)
I have a question that is more out of mere morbidity and curiosity than anything else. Is there a way to, you know, activate "scenes" with the rangers, or the blacksmith independent of quests? Or will it be implemented in the future? ;⩊;
Nothing currently, but hopefully we'll be able to satisfy people's interests in the other characters in the future!
¡Oh muchas gracias! (Thank you so much!) , It will be a pleasure to play the new future content you prepare. I'm so excited, I really appreciate it. I hope your development goes well, good luck!! :D

You've still got plenty of game left. Good luck!
I did do that, but can't find the veteran, or the entrance to the rest of the dessert. Just the corrupted valley.
Never mind. I just didn't try to enter the sandstorm with the armor and sigils. Thanks!
Update ?
I know this is probably a commonly asked question, but would this game ever be possible on mobile? Like i used to play it on pc and to be fair 10/10 game, i just want to play it again

No no it's fine, i was just wondering about it, thank you for replying atleast.
you can download Joiplay on Google Play, it's a simulator can running RPG maker game
Can't find that app on Google, is there another place it can be found?
no way, I just downloaded it from google play, maybe it's not available in your area？
Where can I find an ancient tree?
In the jungle. From the "jungle campsite", climb the vines, and keep going to the north-east (top-right). It's where you jumped across some stones in a river to save somebody in the past.
Okay, thanks a lot.
Oh gosh I love the game! I haven't run into any issues so far besides the fact that I might finish what I have so far, and I really don't want that T^T. I look forward to the next update!
Thanks a lot for the kind words!
ok I finished the update and now I have to know how to get an ending with the blacksmith ToT
Where do you get this event?
Lose the tutorial fight at the start of the game.
Oh, thank you for your quick response
The game you guys made was really fun and nice!
Can't wait for next update
I'm planning to purchase it as soon as it's released
You're welcome, and thank you for the kind words.
Gonna be a long while before we're done, but appreciate the sentiment!
Correct me if I'm wrong, bur

I legit have no idea on what to do next.
Yeah, you missed an exit. Return to the Quiet Meadow and stand outside the Inn to orient yourself.
Walk all the way down, then to the left. Follow the path out to the cliffs, and from there proceed south. You'll be on your way to the jungle.
Roger, will give it a try soon.
So I can kick myself later for wandering around for 2 hours with no progress, where is the tell that you have to go west to go south?
When you reach the desert entrance and the game informs you that you cannot pass, you're teleported back to the Quiet Meadow campsite. That should be your first clue your new goal isn't back there... we're not going to bring you back just to make you return in that direction.

Thanks for the support. We don't have any updates yet. Make sure to follow us here or any of our listed socials to be kept up-to-date.
Hey there,
love your game. Will there be a fixed release for the next update?
Fixed release? Are you experiencing some kind of issue? Or do you mean a "fixed date"?
If you mean a fixed date, we do not currently have one.
i meant a fixed release for the next update. You do really great work. Thanks for replay
is there's any gallery to see the previous nsfw?
Yep. When you complete all the story content you'll unlock a gallery.
Do you have any plans on making a Android build?
Various plugins we use aren't entirely compatible with Android. You can try using JoiPlay or other emulators but there are some visual errors.
Hey, cool game, but I think the latest build (v0.308) that auto downloads in itch client is actually 0.122a. Didn't realize until I noticed the fences everywhere.
Thank you for the heads up! I'll investigate this.
-RegalBuster
The game sadly seems to crash before starting for apple silicone :( I loved this game when I played it on mac intel so I'm sad I can't play with the new laptop.
The crash seems to be random? It's working now...
Hey SabSab, unfortunately we don't have an apple silicone cpu computer to test Grove on, but I suspect that they've changed permission settings in a new OS update. Apologies...
-RegalBuster
Oh it's working fine now after a handful of initial crashes for some reason!
yo just wanted to say that the game iz amazing <3. I loved the writing and the complexity of the world that seems to loom as the story progresses. Keep it up u all, tis a lovely game! (and gud luck with your finals :3)
Thank you very much for the kind and encouraging words!
Hello dev, I'm just checking in if you guys are still ok.
Thanks for checking. We're OK. Just very busy with work and study for finals. Real life comes first I'm afraid.
Mind if I ask what you guys study ?
WE NEED GROUVE SEASON 4(v0.4)!!
After crossing the bridge accompanied by the blacksmith, he asks me to explore and look for clues. I explore the map, enter the cave and fight a snake boss. After that the game doesn't progress,
Idk what to do
Next to that cave is the entrance to the desert. Try entering the desert, and the game should then teleport you elsewhere and give you a hint on what to do next.
Thanks <3
I cant open the backdoor at the building near the bridge am I missing something or is that coming out in the next update?
It'll be available in a future update. Nothing you can do with it right now.
