Was trying to get the reward for The Rubbery Slime strip, item and only got the blacksmith scene. Is the reward implemented in .204 or is the blacksmith scene the reward?
So if you go into the slime cave core (where the slime dragons are) and loss to one they coat you in slime. You can then go to the fire in the room and it will give you the Slime Strip which you can take to the wizard and have researched. I just don't know if the cutscene with the blacksmith afterward is all that is supposed to happen.
The cutscene with the blacksmith where he... 'uses' the slime slab is all that's supposed to happen right now. If you haven't triggered that yet... look at the blacksmith's shop and see if you can find the slime slab there!
The completion and gameplay of the game impressed me the most. Aside from my little hobby （XD）, I've always wanted to see what the story will be like, so far I've experienced it pretty much, I still can't open the locked door, but it doesn't matter, I strongly support it. I had a problem with the sponsorship process, hopefully I can fix it later. You're the best game producer ever!
The locked door will open in a future update. And I also hope you will enjoy the continued story in the future! :)
If you're having trouble with trying to donate on this website, do try the direct donation link: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=HNXW72YDN4GWN But do not worry if you cannot make it work. We're happy just to have your praise!
I absolutely love this game....it's funny at times (don't touch the desert dragon's banana), cute at others (everything about Kuro), and most of the time....incredibly hot (tentacles, slimes, hypnosis...oh yes)
I did encounter some issues with the tron like worlds where Grove goes into like a computer....namely frame rate drops and it became incredibly hard to progress with keyboard controls (even mouse controls weren't 100%). It might be just my computer or something...I dunno, had a heck of time getting through them due to the frame rate issues
that being said, will patiently wait to see what comes next
It seems to be related to computer performance, but some people have experienced issues even when running powerful hardware, so we're not entirely sure... nonetheless, glad you were able to make it through those timing puzzles and experience the whole game.
Thanks for the wonderfully positive review! Hope we'll continue to please you and everyone else when the next update is ready.
Does the tentacle plant from the first dream make anymore appearances in the next update? And when jailer says he "lost too many scouts already " (jungle) howcome you never see anyone other than them? It guess itsjust implied right? And the black thong, will it be seen again aswell? Dont take my questions for nagging, i realize you may have gotten them asked before, i just wanted to be specific is all, i am just curious, oh and why is it not possible to open other pots like the one rinnal was in? (Also jungle)
The tentacle creature from the first dream... there's a possibility you might see more of it in the future...!
As for missing scouts in the jungle, there's implications and hints... like the plant pods that are already sealed, or the water vine gameover scene...
The black thong itself we probably won't reuse. Cursed clothing, on the other hand... ;)
I don't want to give too many details or spoil things. But hopefully this will at least let you know we're considering all these things.
Deifnitely an excellent game! Once I played I just cant stop myself! btw those mind control elements in the sexual scenes are impressing and I love them soooo much~
Mind control, corruption, those are some of the key kinks of this game, so we're glad to hear you like 'em so much. More will certainly be coming, so do +Follow if you haven't, and I hope we'll continue to earn your praise!
Hello, I've been having a great time with your game. The art and enemies are great, and I'm impressed by the creativity and passion shown off by you guys.
I managed to get through a large amount of the game, but I had to stop right near the end due to a game breaking bug. I saved the game, and exited by going to the main menu, then closing out the tab. Upon reloading the game, the text became 'garbled' and mostly unreadable, like so.
Starting a new game 'ungarbled' the text, but the problem persisted. Let me know if this is a known issue. If it's not, feel free to ask more specific questions and I'll answer to the best of my ability.
I don't think we've ever gotten a bug like this before, so any details you can spare would be of great help!
- Which version of Grove are you playing on? (I'm assuming it's Windows 0.204, but just need to make sure) - Is the game folder unzipped? And where did you place the resultant game directory file? - Do you remember where you were, and what you did just before you encountered the bug? Was there anything unusual just before you saved?
---
The only potential fix I can really think of is to re-download the game, and import your saves by using this guide below.
---
Do feel free to list out any extra details that you can recount, and if at all possible, do you mind uploading the corrupted save file, the global.rpgmaker file and the persistent file somewhere for me to take a look at?
Thank you again for the report, and thanks for playing!
Hello RegalBuster, thanks for the quick reply. Regarding your questions -
- Yes, I am playing on the 2.04 patch- I've reproduced the bug on several (2-3) different fresh downloads over the past few months.
- The folder is unzipped, in a folder called 'games' directly in my downloads.
- The bug has happened at almost every point throughout the game, from the campfire straight after the intro scene to midway through the bandit's hideout. Saving seemed normal based on my experience with RPG maker games (e.g. no flashes, prompts, etc.), however I never once managed to load a non-corrupt file once I exited the game. The bug would persist when I transferred save files from an old game to a fresh download. However, starting a new game on a old or new download would 'refresh' the bug until I exited again.
Additionally, almost every time I would exit the game, the corruption would change a little. The complete scrambled eggs that you saw in the screenshot I've sent was the most common, but other effects including skipping letters (eg. HELLO ---> H L O, etc.) partially formed letters, or letters replaced with underscores. Notably, formatted text, such as the purple text in the computer world game over, or the ranger's subscript never corrupted.
I regret to tell you I don't have any of my original saves- When I joined the discord today I overwrote them with the completed gallery saves so I could see the slime dragon scenes (sorry). That being said, I closed out of Grove earlier and the saves seem to have been "successfully" corrupted.
Here are the files- let me know if you'll need anything else.
Upon testing the saves, I was unfortunately unable to recreate the bug on my end. I'm at a bit of a loss as to why this occurs, but I'll be sure to consider it for future releases. No worries about importing complete saves, you play how you want, and I don't blame you wanting to do so due to these save issues!
If you notice/remember anything else specific that you think could crack the case, do feel free to share. I unfortunately will need to mark this as a user-end issue, as there's not much I can do after a bit of testing.
Apologies mate, but do let me know if any other bugs crop up. These reports really do help
That's very fine- thanks for going the distance to help. I'll keep playing, and let you know if anything changes. Thanks for working on Grove, and have an excellent week.
Really, really amazing game holy shit, but I really wish the gallery section doesn't bring me back to the title screen every time when I (purposely) lost to enemies
Sorry about the gallery nuisance... there's a workaround but it's a bit of a kludge, and because the gallery is the last thing we implement, it's usually a bit too much of a bother to fix.
Hola, solo cree una cuenta para felicitarlos por el juego, me encanta, y disfrute de completarlo mas de una vez.
De verdad creo que tienen mucho potencial y espero con ansias mas actualizaciones y contenido :3.
También me gustaría preguntar (sin intención de molestar), ¿qué planes tienen para las próximas actualizaciones?
También me gustaría saber si planean agregar algún tipo de enemigo u objeto relacionado con la castidad, como por ejemplo: "un slime que cuando te derrote se adhiera al protagonista, creando una jaula de castidad".
Muchas gracias por disfrutar nuestro juego. Estamos felices de que haya sido una experiencia tan grata jugarlo para ti y que estés esperando con tantas ansias las nuevas actualizaciones.
Estamos ocupados con nuestros trabajos y estudios ahora mismo, pero esperamos poder continuar con el desarrollo del juego pronto. Si quieres puedes checkear el Twitter de "RegalBuster" para estar al tanto de noticias sobre actualizaciones cuando salgan.
Mucha gente a pedido contenido de castidad ( pp jail ) . Tenemos CIERTAS ideas para CIERTO item o enemigo que implemente el fetiche, pero no podemos prometer que vaya a ser incluido. Gracias por comprender.
l found this weird key when l feed something for pood and it drops the unmarked key. can someone help me with this unmarked key and where can l open it with unmarked key?
hi, l have a question about this one. when l press Z interact with chair and it says like this. can l everyone help me to slove this one and what does it do?
any news on updates? locations, features, enemies, etc? just wondering what is planned and possibly when, not nagging, just curious is all, like asking for a dev diary
hey guys, i was reading the comments and saw the "Qazm's awesome gameguide" and want to know where i can find, could someone give me a link for this guide please?
Sorry, we've got no date right now. The best place to be notified for updates would be following RegalBuster's Twitter or joining the game's Discord! You can find both links in the description above.
Hey there! This game looks very interesting and I'd love to give it a go! Unfortunately, it looks like there's some sort of bug in the Mac version that keeps in from launching properly. Every attempt will show developer credits, the NSFW warning, and then an immediate crash before anything else occurs. I hope this isn't too big of a fix!
Does the game just immediately crash with no warning? Or does it provide an error message before doing so? If so, could you tell us exactly what that error message says, and then maybe we can help you!
1.) Download the game .zip file via the MacOS backup link at the bottom of the game description, and extract the folder (Grove_0.204) to the desktop.
2). Download the normal version of NW.js and transfer the app to Applications.
3). Go finder > utilities > terminal and use the following command to launch the game (the "name" should be your username for the file path):
open -n -a nwjs --args "/Users/name/Desktop/Grove_0.204”
If this is all a little too technical, I do apologise. We'll do our best to look into the issue, but... that's a bit difficult when the game just crashes with no error message.
First off - thank you for all your help! I greatly appreciate how quickly you've been responding. I finally had a moment to take a crack at this tonight, and figured I'd report back.
I went ahead and grabbed nwjs and used the terminal command you provided me! I had to tweak the file path just a little to make sure it aligned with the folder names, as a straight copy/paste didn't accomplish anything. I went ahead and tried a file path for both the layers of folders alongside the app for the sake of completeness. Didn't want to accidentally mess things up, as I'm not sure what I'm doing.
The end result of this was the same error being thrown by nwjs every attempt - "Manifest file missing or unreadable." I'm hoping that's a clue for your bug hunt, and not an indication of me mangling the command somehow!
Played it, loved it, paid $50USD as a fitting reward for a game well made, and registered to give my praise!
Some ideas I had:
I hope for more contextual text prompts when affected by states or parasites etc with later updates . It drastically increases the lewdness of the game without too much more added production time. Reminding the player every so often that Grove is dealing with forced teasing. I also hope for the possibility to unlock more exotic combinations of scenarios if one is able to traverse across regions in states (slime suited, latched, wrapped in bandages) and that enemies react with specific attacks or text prompts in those scenarios. That way you get more game for backtracking the same areas.
Would also be awesome if Grove needed to carry around items of a suggestive nature, and that after getting knocked down in combat, certain enemies took advantage of said items, for bonus sequences. Maybe even combinations of items, or a stackable effect if you have several of the same item (like with latchers). Say for example the rope you need to rappel to the mines. Maybe you need 3 ropes, and you collect them at different places, needing to get past enemies to get them. With the 1st rope, your ankles get tied upon knock-down. With the second rope, your wrists get tied upon knock-down. With a third rope, you get hogtied, and a lewd game over ensues. Something like that. This might also force you have to go back and get a new item of the same kind even if you defeat the enemy! E.g. "You cut yourself free of the rope, but now you have to get a fresh bundle". Just throwing it out there :D
Thanks a lot for such a kind donation! We're honoured you thought so highly of our game, truly! :)
Contextual prompts and scenarios where Grove might be under the effect of some kind of status, like the existing slimesuit or bandage wrap scenes are something we'd certainly be interested in doing more of. Combinations are a bit more tricky and more work to make... work, but maybe...!
As for inventory items that have an effect on scenes, that could also be done! I won't make any promises, but I do think that's a good and somewhat simple thing to implement in terms of coding.
Thanks for your suggestions and thanks again for the donation! Super kind of you and we massively appreciate it!
Very high effort for a porn game, or an RPG maker game in general really. Honestly pretty impressive. Good porn, good characters, tons on offer here and I can't wait to see what else the devs can come up with in the future.
Thanks for the kind comment! Definitely tried our best to make the game a little more than just your average lewd RPGMaker game, so I'm glad you feel that way about it!
More to come in the future, once we make it through the busy work and university times. Hope you'll continue to enjoy what we intend to offer!
I went into this game expecting nothing. Was bored and just needed something to pass the time. The next thing I knew it was 3am and I should really go get some rest, but the "just one more thing" vibe was strong.
Definitely going to play more of this and pay attention to future updates. Best character ever? Tuon the blacksmith. He's absolutely precious.
Dont get me wrong, the game looks great, grove just seems like he needs a girl is all, im curious why there is not a single female anywhere to bee seen, almost unrealistically so, it would add more variety for atleast a few girls to the game, did not a single female come on the expedition to map and explore the north?
Like it says in the description, the game is M/M focused. There's some lore reasons as to why there's no women on the expedition, but there ARE females in this world.
We MIGHT include a female NPC or two in the game, but I'll tell you right now not to expect any explicit content with them. That's... just not the focus of this game, really.
Makes me a little sad though, l think dragons and lizards are cool, im just not all that into other dudes, i tend to go for the ambiguous stuff as a result, im not asking you to change the narrative, just some stuff for people who want a bit of the female variety, plust it might draw a bigger audience to your game, im straight and im here, i lean a bit towards the slimes and slugs scenes as a result, its a fun game, im just not really into other men.
Apologies that there isn't a prominent female presence in the game, but we'd rather try to have a focus for the content just so the bulk of the player base will know what to expect. There will be other 'ambiguous' creatures and the such, but I'll say this now that we won't be having M/F content in Grove. Perhaps in future projects, we'll dabble, but not this one
I like this game so much, i mean the Grove and all main character is great, yet the lil dragon builders[maybe?] in the camp, bandit boss and wizard are lovely as well[though the boss use tentacle to Grove after all Xd]. passing this version took me like 2 days and i just cant stop playing it, not just the fun scene[you know] is grea, but also the text and story lovely and attractive for me. once it is finished i even fill a bit sad ;0, after all i really am looking forward the following version.Xddd
[i just regist this site and for giving this game a comment :333]
Thanks a lot for registering to itch.io to leave us a comment! That means a great deal to us, to know you enjoyed our game so much you'd go through that effort :)
It will take some time for the next update, as we are quite busy with work and university studies. But we still love this game and hope to keep updating it, and these kind comments give us the desire and passion to do that! Thank you again, truly!
very good game best game of the genre I hope to see more updates in the future and I can't wait to get this one but I wanted to see more scenes of bestiality like wild monsters and more scenes of the bad guys I think it has a lot of potential and could put capture scenes where the grove is captured and taken to a nest and being used as a sex slave and you have to run away would be really cool
pss: I used google translator because I don't know how to speak or write in English so I predao if some letters come out wrong
Thank you for playing and commenting our game! We appreciate your effort to translate your words for us to read :)
There will be more updates in the future, and I hope you will enjoy the new enemies we have planned. Make sure to +Follow our game so you are informed!
Really enjoyed this game! Art and gameplay are both excellent! If I may make one suggestion, I'd love to see some scenes where Grove tops. Maybe 'punishing' a defeated enemy, something like that.
Easily one of the best adult games I've ever seen. A sincerely amazing job!
I've been playing it for 3 days straight, trying to explore every nook and cranny of the (fairly large) world and experience everything it has to offer (as of 0.204) and still didn't get bored in the slightest.
The characters are compelling and really well written, fitting perfectly with the lighthearted, at times sweet, and overall wholesome (if you can believe it) mood of the experience.
The enemies are well designed, both in art and mechanically, which allows for various interesting dynamics and consequences even out of combat, rewarding the player for finding alternative solutions and trying out different approaches to combat.
The art style of the panels during cutscenes and in the combat sprites is adorable and, although still a bit rough, nonetheless engaging (especially during the "fun" parts ;) ).
The story and the setting are both really intriguing and compelling.
The progression in satisfying.
Of course, there's still much room for improvement, but I noticed there's a conveniently placed Discord server section for it so think I'll spare those feedbacks in this post.
Alas I can easily see myself lost in this game after its full release. Can't wait for future updates :D
I mean, I'm already pretty lost in it as it is, so... XD
Appreciate the very kind feedback, and do pop into the Discord if you so wish! Knowing that you and many others are willing to explore so much of the game does make us quite excited to continue development whenever possible :)
Would just like to add my sincere thanks for your cohesive thoughts roundup! Thanks so much for all the positive words and for all the time you spent playing our game, from the lewd stuff to the world and characters and story!
You're very welcome :) And of course my thanks to you guys for offering this experience.
I'd be happy to provide more valuable contribution should the opportunity present itself, be it feedback, suggestions, or more technical stuff. I'm currently studying game development and, although I'm primarily a 3D artist, I'm also interested in design elements as well.
In that case, may I humbly recommend checking out our DIscord server. We have places for suggestions and feedback and bug reports, and a friendly community!
No pressure to do so, of course. Totally up to you.

Was trying to get the reward for The Rubbery Slime strip, item and only got the blacksmith scene. Is the reward implemented in .204 or is the blacksmith scene the reward?
So if you go into the slime cave core (where the slime dragons are) and loss to one they coat you in slime. You can then go to the fire in the room and it will give you the Slime Strip which you can take to the wizard and have researched. I just don't know if the cutscene with the blacksmith afterward is all that is supposed to happen.
No, there is a separate cutscene that is available after the slime strip is researched. look at this guide https://qazm.itch.io/a-grove-timeline
The cutscene with the blacksmith where he... 'uses' the slime slab is all that's supposed to happen right now. If you haven't triggered that yet... look at the blacksmith's shop and see if you can find the slime slab there!
Thank you, that's what I was wondering. I just thought I was getting a bug where I didn't get the item afterward. Thanks for clearing that up.
The completion and gameplay of the game impressed me the most. Aside from my little hobby （XD）, I've always wanted to see what the story will be like, so far I've experienced it pretty much, I still can't open the locked door, but it doesn't matter, I strongly support it. I had a problem with the sponsorship process, hopefully I can fix it later. You're the best game producer ever!

This is the game I most look forward to seeing updated right now. Love it!
An honour to hear that, thank you! Hope we manage to impress when the update finally launches.
Can you give us a rough idea of when you "expect" to launch this update?
Your game is amazing. I'm looking for NSFW game that MC try to escape the raping scene but end up with force breeding.
You did it very well.
I replay it very often
Thank you very much!
I wish I can play more monster like slug and sprouter
Is there anything you can tell us about the hole that appears in the cave you find the simth in?
Future content...!
I absolutely love this game....it's funny at times (don't touch the desert dragon's banana), cute at others (everything about Kuro), and most of the time....incredibly hot (tentacles, slimes, hypnosis...oh yes)

Is there some way to save them later?
You'll have to wait and see where that's concerned...!
Will we have the ability to strip off outside of combat in the next update?
Potentially. Should be a fairly easy thing to implement for those who want to play like that.
Deifnitely an excellent game! Once I played I just cant stop myself! btw those mind control elements in the sexual scenes are impressing and I love them soooo much~
Thank you very much~!
Mind control, corruption, those are some of the key kinks of this game, so we're glad to hear you like 'em so much. More will certainly be coming, so do +Follow if you haven't, and I hope we'll continue to earn your praise!
I find this game rather enjoyable to play, plus opens the prospect of doing many runs plus I enjoy the sexual scenes.
Anyway keep up the good work devs!
Thank you kindly~
I saw it at the end of the game
you need to add the two new enemy doors
This game is masterpiece
Very kind of you to say so! I don't think we're quite at "masterpiece" level but your words are appreciate nonetheless.

update your game
Heyya, I'm eager too but it'll release when it's ready. Devs have lives too and are doing their best.
Really, really amazing game holy shit, but I really wish the gallery section doesn't bring me back to the title screen every time when I (purposely) lost to enemies
Looking forward to the update!!!!!!
Thank you kindly~!
Sorry about the gallery nuisance... there's a workaround but it's a bit of a kludge, and because the gallery is the last thing we implement, it's usually a bit too much of a bother to fix.
We'll see about doing it in the future though.
是不是快更新了，期待期待！
And i want to ask !
there s a weird door shine purple light, in the house of desert bridge.
how can i enter it or is it still developing? Xdd
That's for future content! Nothing you can do with it... yet.
awright i get it xddd, looking forward to it XDD

l found this weird key when l feed something for pood and it drops the unmarked key. can someone help me with this unmarked key and where can l open it with unmarked key?
This has no use in the current update. I'll be used in the future!
This is for freeing yourself from the cursed bandages when Jaler isn't available.
any news on updates? locations, features, enemies, etc? just wondering what is planned and possibly when, not nagging, just curious is all, like asking for a dev diary
Joining the Discord or following RegalBuster's twitter is the best way to see updates about the game.
We're busy with work and university right now, but hopefully next month we'll start to have more previews to share with people.
The game has improved a lot since the last time I played it.
Do you have plans for translation into Portuguese or Spanish?
the follower system, will we be able to set up a custom group or will it be a pre determined by history?

hey guys, i was reading the comments and saw the "Qazm's awesome gameguide" and want to know where i can find, could someone give me a link for this guide please?
https://qazm.itch.io/a-grove-timeline
Here ya go. It's one of the links near the bottom of the description, for future reference.
When is the next update? I'm really excited
Sorry, we've got no date right now. The best place to be notified for updates would be following RegalBuster's Twitter or joining the game's Discord! You can find both links in the description above.
I missed the chance to get tatters in hideout, is there any other way to get the skimpy covers?
Not currently, no.
We do plan to include another way to get them in a future update, however.
Easily one of the best rpg yet, looking forward for the next updates! :D
Thanks! Glad to hear you think so!
Hey there! This game looks very interesting and I'd love to give it a go! Unfortunately, it looks like there's some sort of bug in the Mac version that keeps in from launching properly. Every attempt will show developer credits, the NSFW warning, and then an immediate crash before anything else occurs. I hope this isn't too big of a fix!
Does the game just immediately crash with no warning? Or does it provide an error message before doing so? If so, could you tell us exactly what that error message says, and then maybe we can help you!
Unfortunately, I have no error message to provide. It just immediately crashes. Sorry, I'm sure that makes your jobs harder
Our best suggestion would be to try launching the gaming using a program called nw.js which can be found at
https://nwjs.io
1.) Download the game .zip file via the MacOS backup link at the bottom of the game description, and extract the folder (Grove_0.204) to the desktop.
2). Download the normal version of NW.js and transfer the app to Applications.
3). Go finder > utilities > terminal and use the following command to launch the game (the "name" should be your username for the file path):
open -n -a nwjs --args "/Users/name/Desktop/Grove_0.204”
If this is all a little too technical, I do apologise. We'll do our best to look into the issue, but... that's a bit difficult when the game just crashes with no error message.
First off - thank you for all your help! I greatly appreciate how quickly you've been responding. I finally had a moment to take a crack at this tonight, and figured I'd report back.
I went ahead and grabbed nwjs and used the terminal command you provided me! I had to tweak the file path just a little to make sure it aligned with the folder names, as a straight copy/paste didn't accomplish anything. I went ahead and tried a file path for both the layers of folders alongside the app for the sake of completeness. Didn't want to accidentally mess things up, as I'm not sure what I'm doing.
The end result of this was the same error being thrown by nwjs every attempt - "Manifest file missing or unreadable." I'm hoping that's a clue for your bug hunt, and not an indication of me mangling the command somehow!
You can try to put the game body on the desktop, I solved the problem perfectly with this method, I hope it can help you.
Did amileva's answer help you out?
I just want to be able to seduce a certain adorkable Ranger....
Eventually...!
Loving it, definitely one of the best RPG games I've played in the last few years. We need a scene with the blacksmith.
Besides the ones already in the game? Do check out Qazm's awesome game guide if you haven't seen them yet.
Otherwise, thanks a lot for the kind words! A pleasure to know you hold our game in such high esteem.
我想问一下，有个 箱子我死活解锁不了，说是听到了求救声，遭遇了第一个敌人
那个在最开始的战斗教程中输掉就行了
Played it, loved it, paid $50USD as a fitting reward for a game well made, and registered to give my praise!
Some ideas I had:
I hope for more contextual text prompts when affected by states or parasites etc with later updates . It drastically increases the lewdness of the game without too much more added production time. Reminding the player every so often that Grove is dealing with forced teasing. I also hope for the possibility to unlock more exotic combinations of scenarios if one is able to traverse across regions in states (slime suited, latched, wrapped in bandages) and that enemies react with specific attacks or text prompts in those scenarios. That way you get more game for backtracking the same areas.
Would also be awesome if Grove needed to carry around items of a suggestive nature, and that after getting knocked down in combat, certain enemies took advantage of said items, for bonus sequences. Maybe even combinations of items, or a stackable effect if you have several of the same item (like with latchers). Say for example the rope you need to rappel to the mines. Maybe you need 3 ropes, and you collect them at different places, needing to get past enemies to get them. With the 1st rope, your ankles get tied upon knock-down. With the second rope, your wrists get tied upon knock-down. With a third rope, you get hogtied, and a lewd game over ensues. Something like that. This might also force you have to go back and get a new item of the same kind even if you defeat the enemy! E.g. "You cut yourself free of the rope, but now you have to get a fresh bundle". Just throwing it out there :D
Thanks a lot for such a kind donation! We're honoured you thought so highly of our game, truly! :)
Contextual prompts and scenarios where Grove might be under the effect of some kind of status, like the existing slimesuit or bandage wrap scenes are something we'd certainly be interested in doing more of. Combinations are a bit more tricky and more work to make... work, but maybe...!
As for inventory items that have an effect on scenes, that could also be done! I won't make any promises, but I do think that's a good and somewhat simple thing to implement in terms of coding.
Thanks for your suggestions and thanks again for the donation! Super kind of you and we massively appreciate it!
Very high effort for a porn game, or an RPG maker game in general really. Honestly pretty impressive. Good porn, good characters, tons on offer here and I can't wait to see what else the devs can come up with in the future.
Thanks for the kind comment! Definitely tried our best to make the game a little more than just your average lewd RPGMaker game, so I'm glad you feel that way about it!
More to come in the future, once we make it through the busy work and university times. Hope you'll continue to enjoy what we intend to offer!
I went into this game expecting nothing. Was bored and just needed something to pass the time.
The next thing I knew it was 3am and I should really go get some rest, but the "just one more thing" vibe was strong.
Definitely going to play more of this and pay attention to future updates.
Best character ever? Tuon the blacksmith. He's absolutely precious.
Thanks a great deal! It's a pleasure to hear that the game was able to grab you like it did.
Hope you'll continue to enjoy playing what's left, and the updates when they arrive.
Dont get me wrong, the game looks great, grove just seems like he needs a girl is all, im curious why there is not a single female anywhere to bee seen, almost unrealistically so, it would add more variety for atleast a few girls to the game, did not a single female come on the expedition to map and explore the north?
It's legit the first few words in the overview of the game "Grove” is an M/M focused NSFW RPG " that's why there isn't a single female
Like it says in the description, the game is M/M focused. There's some lore reasons as to why there's no women on the expedition, but there ARE females in this world.
We MIGHT include a female NPC or two in the game, but I'll tell you right now not to expect any explicit content with them. That's... just not the focus of this game, really.
Makes me a little sad though, l think dragons and lizards are cool, im just not all that into other dudes, i tend to go for the ambiguous stuff as a result, im not asking you to change the narrative, just some stuff for people who want a bit of the female variety, plust it might draw a bigger audience to your game, im straight and im here, i lean a bit towards the slimes and slugs scenes as a result, its a fun game, im just not really into other men.
Apologies that there isn't a prominent female presence in the game, but we'd rather try to have a focus for the content just so the bulk of the player base will know what to expect. There will be other 'ambiguous' creatures and the such, but I'll say this now that we won't be having M/F content in Grove. Perhaps in future projects, we'll dabble, but not this one
- RegalBuster
There are thousands of games dedicated to M/W....cant we have our small handful of good M/M games?
A lot of people got you wrong dude
I like this game so much, i mean the Grove and all main character is great, yet the lil dragon builders[maybe?] in the camp, bandit boss and wizard are lovely as well[though the boss use tentacle to Grove after all Xd]. passing this version took me like 2 days and i just cant stop playing it, not just the fun scene[you know] is grea, but also the text and story lovely and attractive for me. once it is finished i even fill a bit sad ;0, after all i really am looking forward the following version.Xddd
[i just regist this site and for giving this game a comment :333]
Thanks a lot for registering to itch.io to leave us a comment! That means a great deal to us, to know you enjoyed our game so much you'd go through that effort :)
It will take some time for the next update, as we are quite busy with work and university studies. But we still love this game and hope to keep updating it, and these kind comments give us the desire and passion to do that! Thank you again, truly!
very good game best game of the genre I hope to see more updates in the future and I can't wait to get this one but I wanted to see more scenes of bestiality like wild monsters and more scenes of the bad guys I think it has a lot of potential and could put capture scenes where the grove is captured and taken to a nest and being used as a sex slave and you have to run away would be really cool
pss: I used google translator because I don't know how to speak or write in English so I predao if some letters come out wrong
Thank you for playing and commenting our game! We appreciate your effort to translate your words for us to read :)
There will be more updates in the future, and I hope you will enjoy the new enemies we have planned. Make sure to +Follow our game so you are informed!
Thank you again :)
Really enjoyed this game! Art and gameplay are both excellent! If I may make one suggestion, I'd love to see some scenes where Grove tops. Maybe 'punishing' a defeated enemy, something like that.
Let's just say... we have some ideas where that suggestions is concerned.
In the meantime, thanks a lot for your kind comment and for playing our game in the first place!
Easily one of the best adult games I've ever seen. A sincerely amazing job!
I've been playing it for 3 days straight, trying to explore every nook and cranny of the (fairly large) world and experience everything it has to offer (as of 0.204) and still didn't get bored in the slightest.
The characters are compelling and really well written, fitting perfectly with the lighthearted, at times sweet, and overall wholesome (if you can believe it) mood of the experience.
The enemies are well designed, both in art and mechanically, which allows for various interesting dynamics and consequences even out of combat, rewarding the player for finding alternative solutions and trying out different approaches to combat.
The art style of the panels during cutscenes and in the combat sprites is adorable and, although still a bit rough, nonetheless engaging (especially during the "fun" parts ;) ).
The story and the setting are both really intriguing and compelling.
The progression in satisfying.
Of course, there's still much room for improvement, but I noticed there's a conveniently placed Discord server section for it so think I'll spare those feedbacks in this post.
Alas I can easily see myself lost in this game after its full release. Can't wait for future updates :D
I mean, I'm already pretty lost in it as it is, so... XDAppreciate the very kind feedback, and do pop into the Discord if you so wish! Knowing that you and many others are willing to explore so much of the game does make us quite excited to continue development whenever possible :)
-RegalBuster
Would just like to add my sincere thanks for your cohesive thoughts roundup! Thanks so much for all the positive words and for all the time you spent playing our game, from the lewd stuff to the world and characters and story!
You're very welcome :)
And of course my thanks to you guys for offering this experience.
I'd be happy to provide more valuable contribution should the opportunity present itself, be it feedback, suggestions, or more technical stuff.
I'm currently studying game development and, although I'm primarily a 3D artist, I'm also interested in design elements as well.
In that case, may I humbly recommend checking out our DIscord server. We have places for suggestions and feedback and bug reports, and a friendly community!
No pressure to do so, of course. Totally up to you.
