Hi, I love this game and I am very frustrated because I have these 2 problems.... qwp
I hope you can help me with these problems and I hope it's not too much of a bother.
1: The game only works running it from the .zip or playing it from the index.html in the firefox browser (this is normal isn't it?) because when I run directly the .exe from the unzipped .zip it doesn't work well and when I see in the windows 7 task manager there are several processes moving up and down with the names; GROVE, grove, grove, grove, grove, grove
it's very strange and i don't understand why it doesn't work well, because when i run it from the .zip it works perfectly up to a certain point and in the task manager the processes are different and this time the 4 processes have the name in capital letters (i don't know if this has something to do with it).
but well, I don't mind too much as long as I can use itchio's launcher.
although running the game from the itchio launcher, i have very bad fps and it crashes more often.
2: Another problem I have is that when I get to the desert zone, the game crashes after entering the zone and waiting a few seconds, although I have the theory that if I get to that zone running the game from the browser it might not crash or damage the game, the only problem with playing from the browser is that it doesn't let me load saved files and.... well... you can imagine :/
Maybe, and I think so, these problems are due to my laptop and its low performance, you see, my laptop has very low requirements but it runs some other rpg's (some, I mean very few) , what I don't understand is why the game runs so bad, is it possible that my laptop is missing a couple of drivers or something?
my laptop has
has a processor :
Intel(r) Celeron(r) CPU 847 @ 1.10ghz 1.10ghz
ram memory:
2.00gb (1.83gb usable)
and an operating system :
32bits
(sorry for my bad english, I'm using a google translator)
Looking at your computer specs, unfortunately the system requirements for an RPGMAKER game is about 4gb in RAM, with Grove potentially requiring a little bit more due to the presence of large .png images. It also doesn't help that the MV engine isn't the most optimised thing in the world, but we'll try and improve the overall performance of the engine in the future.
Regarding your zip issue:
I have a feeling that the zip issues are caused by your low system specs, with a browser potentially only loading certain scenes, hence the better performance. This is evident when you mentioned you crash in the Desert area as there are a few large assets there, but performance in the area in general isn't all too great for a few with decent rigs. We're looking into that for the next update as well.
---
We'll do what we can with improving the performance in the future, but at the moment, it does seem like the primary issue relates to your low system specs. I do apologise I can't be of any better help!
i kinda like this idea, like turn off the game over screen in the gallery so its easyer to keep browsing it without being reliant on just clicking the game over scene button, and the outfit seems to regen constantly, i sucessfully did a nude playthrough, didnt even have trouble in the jungle level in the water, will we be able to come back and save the lost and traped adventurers later in that region? seem callous just to say "oh well" and leave them, wont they eventually die from something like that? the body can only take so much stress like that, and the pods, did the occupants get digested or something? and why cant we cut them open like rinnal? it just seems odd, so many people stuck and nothing we can do, the open pods, did they kill and digest before opening? or are they walking around somewhere in some shambleing state? if so, where are they? and will there be group fighting? like multiple teammates to order different attacks from and multiple foes at once too? and can we have any news on the possibilty of cursed clothing? and new monsters too, i prefere them rather than actual m/m scenes, i enjoy the story alot, i just like the monsters more is all, just give us a heads up when the update is getting near, i believe its possible to enjoy this game and be straight too, this game has plenty of potential, i would like to see it grow, odly enough its actually hard to find straight lizard games, i prefere them to furs.
dragons and other lizards have always looked cool and facinating, thats all, not here to offend, just co-existing with my own preferences as a straight guy, life sure feels backwards these days...
I'm glad that you're invested in the story of our game and have all these questions, but this isn't quite the place for a full-fledged discussion about all these topics, most of which are just speculation about the future and would be spoilers.
When we have a date in mind for release, we'll let people know via our various social media accounts. Please just be patient, OK?
Though we have thought about some silly cheats, they are easiest to implement when the game is content complete: we don't want to have worry about making sure they don't break everything, every time we add new content!
Your game is truly amazing and I have played many hours but i have a very frustrating problem when I want to close the game all of my progression just disappears even when I save so i can't really play unless I never close the game
I really need your help because I wish to play more of your game
I'm assuming you haven't unzipped the file? Make sure you don't play directly from the downloaded .ZIP, and to extract it first. You can do this via right clicking the file, and extracting it to the folder or desktop. Alternatively, you can also open the zip folder, and drag the first 'GROVE' folder onto the desktop
Apologies for the performance dip, we have some performance improvements in the works for the next update that should fix that issue. For now, making use of the mouse has been a common tactic players use that have issues navigating through.
Well, the issue is that in that part the player must lead the character through the briges before they change color... Anyway, your game is amasing ^^ and the creator is even more amazing ;3
This game has the feel of Undertale and Final Fantasy which I definitely love and the characters and nsfw scenes are to die for ( no pun intended ). There is only one question that I have regarding stats and combat. I noticed that there is a MATK stat but I have yet to find any skills or weapons based on this stat. Have they been implemented yet or is that aspect still in development? Also, will there be any support magic ( i.e. healing/buffing skills implemented and if so, how will they scale?
Currently, MATK is a blank stat and will likely not make it into the complete game. Magic and the such is being considered and developed upon, and should be implemented in a future build.
Thank you for your very kind words! I'm still surprised that we get the Undertale comparison, but I'm definitely not opposed to such. Hope future updates will be as enjoyable as the last!
You can play on android via JoiPlay emulator, but it is not fully supported and there are visual bugs. If you don't mind using cheats, you can skip some of the areas that have issues, but it will result in a less than optimal play experience.
We only recommend playing via android JoiPlay if you have NO alternative options.
I'm enjoying this game a lot but I'm stuck after exploring the Northen Settlement with the blacksmith, the game doesn't seem to progress any further when teleporting back to the inn. I've talked to the wizard, commander, and blacksmith. I've been stuck for an hour haha.
Your next destination is the jungle to the south. Leave the Quiet Meadow settlement by the bottom left exit, follow the path to the cliffs, and then head south...!
Thank you very much, glad to hear you enjoyed our game so much! Any support is highly welcome, from sharing the game to donating to just playing and leaving a kind review!
It's not even been half a year yet, buddy. But I understand it must feel like ages.
We've been very busy with work, with university, and game development has taken a back-seat because ultimately it's a passion project and we do have personal life goals to achieve first and foremost...
Buuuut, there is more happening in the background. We're quietly working on stuff. And we do have an update planned. I can't say when it'll arrive... but we'll do our best to keep folks updated when it does!
so ive been following the game for some time and even donated and i like dont regret it or anything but just asking if theres any news to when an update is coming if coming at all
We've been really busy these past few months with university and work. But hopefully, with summer holidays on the horizon, we might have a chance to get back to working on the game soon.
We'll do our best to keep folks updated, so either check out the Discord or follow RegalBuster's Twitter if you want to be in the know.
Hmm after i gave the strange suit (the one from the bandit place) the game sorta glitched out and the characters stay on screen and i dint get the suit back
If you go to your menu > key items > documents case and use it to teleport anywhere, it should clear this visual bug. You'll get the bandit suit back later in the game, so don't worry about that just yet.
This is a known error and has been fixed in our development build too, so it'll be gone in the future. For now, just use the teleportation fix, please!
Final Fantasy and Undertale are certainly two highly regarded games, so the fact you consider our little passion project to be of a similar caliber is a great compliment indeed, thank you very much! :)
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.

Thank you very much anyway and good luck with the optimization of your game <3 <3 <3 ^^
Hallo !
Iv'e finished the game, all the scenes unlocked.
so i am wondering is there any cheat codes to just mess around ? Thanks :)
i kinda like this idea, like turn off the game over screen in the gallery so its easyer to keep browsing it without being reliant on just clicking the game over scene button, and the outfit seems to regen constantly, i sucessfully did a nude playthrough, didnt even have trouble in the jungle level in the water, will we be able to come back and save the lost and traped adventurers later in that region? seem callous just to say "oh well" and leave them, wont they eventually die from something like that? the body can only take so much stress like that, and the pods, did the occupants get digested or something? and why cant we cut them open like rinnal? it just seems odd, so many people stuck and nothing we can do, the open pods, did they kill and digest before opening? or are they walking around somewhere in some shambleing state? if so, where are they? and will there be group fighting? like multiple teammates to order different attacks from and multiple foes at once too? and can we have any news on the possibilty of cursed clothing? and new monsters too, i prefere them rather than actual m/m scenes, i enjoy the story alot, i just like the monsters more is all, just give us a heads up when the update is getting near, i believe its possible to enjoy this game and be straight too, this game has plenty of potential, i would like to see it grow, odly enough its actually hard to find straight lizard games, i prefere them to furs.

Not yet, I'm afraid!

we don't want to have worry about making sure they don't break everything, every time we add new content!
Oki doki :)
if this dont violate any rules here could i ask to have a copy of your save file?
Your game is truly amazing and I have played many hours but i have a very frustrating problem when I want to close the game all of my progression just disappears even when I save so i can't really play unless I never close the game

Actually yes i didn't unzip it xD my bad but thanks a lot :D
The game is lagging a bit,, during the second visit to server location (I don't know the name of the location)
Apologies for the performance dip, we have some performance improvements in the works for the next update that should fix that issue. For now, making use of the mouse has been a common tactic players use that have issues navigating through.

How do i get slime by the slime dragon!
I try everything i could but nothing happen
Ensure you have more than 50 STM, and let yourself get grappled by the slime dragon. Once his sequence is done, you should be slimed.

Dude it's amazing, this game fulfills my fantasy perfectly, I'm enjoying it so much, keep it up, I'll support you guys
Thank you very much, glad to hear you enjoyed our game so much! Any support is highly welcome, from sharing the game to donating to just playing and leaving a kind review!
Is there anything more happening with the grove development for new content its been almost a year or so now xx

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)
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.
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.
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
- RegalBuster
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.
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
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".
De verdad me encantaría algo así en el juego.
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.
谢谢
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?
Translations are community-led so no plans on our end, but players are free to give it a try
