It's really up to you if you want to start new or continue. There's a few small art assets and mechanics and collectables to find in the old content though!
Just... don't actually copy-paste the new version into your old version. Make it a separate file and just delete the old one!
The only problem I had was the black screen when going to some places. If we have the same problem just do what this text says:
"If you're using Joiplay, hold tap on Grove game icon in the main menu -> Edit Plugins -> Scroll down to YEP_GridFreeDoodads and disable it. Start up your game again and you will be able to see the map. After getting through the area, you can enable it again without issue. I played Grove just fine on Android and just finished the latest version."
I found this on someone's comment, but I forgot their username.
Hi there! Is there a guide for all of the secrets/encounters? I think I have up to around half of the encounters but I have no idea where the rest are.
Need a little help... I replayed Groove one more time, but I still don't understand what the "personal pocket space" is for (it's empty). Maybe I missed something and need to look at the guide?
The knight armour isn't too hard. Go buy the "regulation knight base" from the blacksmith, then just talk to him again afterwards and he'll make the armour for you!
The apples are just a fun little collectable! See how many you can find, and maybe you'll get a little something in the future!
Thanks for the kind words, and hope you enjoy the upcoming update a great deal!
the purple one says'' you find yourself entering a western path... and pestering a newcomer and his tent. Suddenly your corruption flares up...''
and the blue one : you leave the bandit hideout with a souvenir in toe... you decide to leave this with another, until they have the necessary tools and amount to repair it.''
Thanks for the compliment! Glad you enjoy it enough to want to 100% it!
Purple chest: With 10 Corruption, try and repeatedly enter the Mercenary Commander's tent over to the left / west of the inn (hooded guy who gives you desert robes). You can grind Corruption points if you want by getting repeatedly captured by the jungle slugs or the green slime dragons.
Blue chest: You need to give the 'slave suit tatters' to the blacksmith and let him make a new set of armour for you. This item can be acquired by getting captured by the bandits and then escaping... and there'll be a new way to acquire it in the upcoming update. Up to you if you want to replay the game, or wait for the new update.
You can use JoiPlay or MaldiVes emulators to play on Android, both now and on the upcoming update, but both of them have issues and are not officially supported or endorsed by us. The game is made for and intended to be played on home computers.
If you're desperate, JoiPlay has graphical issues on certain maps. MaldiVes has subpar performance. Pick your poison, hah.
Sorry to disappoint you, but we have not confirmed this information yet! The game may take an extra day or two. We may also delay the release for an extra day to prepare ourselves, or because of jobs / work / personal obligation.
We will make an update here on itch.io, on RegalBuster's and SirIzike's Twitter, on our Discord and FurAffinity pages when we have an exact date settled.
Please be patient for just a little longer. I do not want you to think we lied to you.
quick question, how do you get to the abandont tent on the western cliff crossroads, from where at night purple light comes out? and how do you get the middle outfit?
in this update it will be like an ally was captured can you have the option to help him or let him be corrupted or have the option to ally with the enemy depending on your corruption?
For curious people who want to play from a tablet or phone (not sure if you can). Try the Steam Connect app, it allows you to restream not only games from Steam,just some settings and your complitly fine.
Thank you very much for the game, I sincerely wish everyone involved lots of happiness and only success in new year. Double thanks to the Ringo who made the Russian patch (sorry, but about discord, I'll pass)
Hey There Guys Happy New Year! :D i was wondering how many days were left until the game because I lost track already? I remember you said 20 last time
We're getting close to release. I can't give a specific date, but we're definitely hoping to get it done before the end of January. HOPEFULLY in the first half of January!
Gotta put the final coats of polish and content into the game, and do a good deal of testing, but we're almost there. It really shouldn't slip out of January!
I'm scared to release the new update, I can't wait to play it, it's the best NSFW furry game out there, a lot of people are waiting for it, I know you guys barely have time to do things because of school and etc, but you guys are very good at it, but it's eating me up inside
But if you enjoy lewd scenes that involve an anthro, and some kind of creature that is quite feral-minded and not all that intelligent, you miiiiight enjoy a particular scene.
What an amazing game, really looking forward to the new update. I was never really a fan of these rpg maker-esque games but the mechanics and story here have drawn me in. Speaking of; is this made with any of the rpg maker engines? Or is it something else, I'm not versed in this genre enough to tell.
The game is made with RPG Maker MV as the base engine, but also quite a lot of plugins and custom coding to make it do things beyond the scope of the basic engine!
I know fully well that RPG Maker games have a bit of a negative reputation in some circles... so thanks a lot for giving our game a try in spite of that! It's great to hear that you enjoyed it so much!
New update will be coming soonish, so do follow us here, or our socials, or join the Discord to be up-to-date! And thanks again for the kind words!
I'm not gonna lie and say that the room with the blue and purple tiles didn't unnerve me in some way. But the game is hella good, I'll give you guys that.
Good job on this game, everyone, and I hope everyone else who stumbles on this game will enjoy it as much as I do.
Thanks for the compliments! Glad to hear you enjoyed the game as much as you did.
We'd appreciate any word-of-mouth if you wanna share this game with your friends. Otherwise, thanks again for playing, and hope you'll check us out again when the next update launches, soon.
Hello there. I have a few questions. Is there any way to reduce my depravity and how bad is it if there is a lot of it? Thank you in advance for the answer.
hello again, i want to get something out of the way before i start, i never meant to make demands or force views, you just thought i did, i was merely suggesting some optional cosmetics we could modify for our own personal grove experience, and i do support this game, even though im broke irl, i want to see it succeed, and not changing any narrative, just one or two females that are totally optional by the way, never just assume anything, p.s. i gave the game a 5 star btw.
Hello there everyone that is developing this game! I just wanted to say a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a joyous New Year to everyone that is making this game grand! I sincerely hope that every one of you has an amazing 2023, a mystical rest of 2022, and good health to you all for the foreseeable future! I hope I can speak for your entire fanbase when I say that we are at the edge of our seats watching the progress of this masterpiece of a game, and we are incredibly grateful to have you all with us!
Thank you very much for the kind and heartfelt message! Fingers crossed, we can start of the new year with a bang, and the newest update for you all to enjoy!
Hi! Hello! I just wanted to say, great game you two made! Certainly gained a lot of traction and love from fans <3
Although, I keep getting crash messages at the Cavern Core with the green slime monster after Grapple phase as he coated Grove with a slime suit. The crash message says I have to go to persistent.rpgsave but when I do, I don't have the necessary program to start. What should I do? Should I redownload the game?
Well, I'm glad that you were able to proceed without the same error reoccurring.
As for the "freeze" issue, this is something that tends to happen with RPG Maker if you do indeed stand around for a long time and have other things going on in the background on your computer. It's not specific to that area or our game... it's more like a memory issue on lower-powered computers.
Hopefully you can continue to proceed through the game. It might be a little bit jittery in performance but I'm afraid that is all stuff outside our control (the game engine itself or your computer's spec)
Oh alright! Thanks for the reply, it helps a lot! This is the first time I have played any turn-based RPG game so I don't know much about files management ^3^'
Oh and I play the game on the Dell G15, which is a gaming laptop, with 16GB RAM, I hope the information helps!
Are you running the game from a cloud folder (drop box, google drive, onedrive etc)? The persistent file issue is usually a symptom of this. If so, be sure to run the game from your computer's drive as the auto-sync often breaks the saves!
it's been for months since l saw your twitter has new update game GROVE , so I decided to come back here to see how you guys are doing now . I hope this game GROVE Update plays more hours, and also l'm very excited to see this game GROVE update very soon in this december here or maybe late next year :)) .
it's okay , i'm not the kind very rush to see update game GROVE so just do anything you want . update anytime you want. Wish your creation game will be successful

it's finally here, THANK YOU :)) . But should l start new game GROVE in this version or just copy GROVE(v0.204) In GROVE(V0.3) to continue ?
It's really up to you if you want to start new or continue. There's a few small art assets and mechanics and collectables to find in the old content though!
Just... don't actually copy-paste the new version into your old version. Make it a separate file and just delete the old one!
Tis it better to start the new one... You will soon understand why.
yeah , because you never know something new
Great, finally updated. Thank you for your New Year gift.
Should I continue my old save or start a new game?
哦耶！let's go!
here we go
LETS GOO BOISS! we are waiting 1 year for this!
esperando un poco
oh boyyyyyyy the wait is painful
just one thing: T.R.O.L.L
T_T
I wish in one day can Android download it game
In fact, you can use it on Android phones through some RPG runners.
I used JoiPlay and managed to finish the previous version(v. 0.204).
how ? I hv do it before but can't work.....I don't know how to make it
The only problem I had was the black screen when going to some places. If we have the same problem just do what this text says:
"If you're using Joiplay, hold tap on Grove game icon in the main menu -> Edit Plugins -> Scroll down to YEP_GridFreeDoodads and disable it. Start up your game again and you will be able to see the map. After getting through the area, you can enable it again without issue. I played Grove just fine on Android and just finished the latest version."
I found this on someone's comment, but I forgot their username.
Hi, does your joiplay also close when you reach the part of the North bridge? Do you know how to resolve?
No, it doesn't. I'm sorry, I don't know how to fix that.
*unintelligible yell of excitement at upcoming update*
Hi there! Is there a guide for all of the secrets/encounters? I think I have up to around half of the encounters but I have no idea where the rest are.
https://qazm.itch.io/a-grove-timeline
Here ya go!
thank you so much! Loving the game so far, can't wait for the update!
Need a little help... I replayed Groove one more time, but I still don't understand what the "personal pocket space" is for (it's empty). Maybe I missed something and need to look at the guide?
There will be things added to it in the next update.
Aaah, I understand. Thanks.
I have a few questions I have unlocked all the chests for the scenes.
and I and all the armor but I did not understand the conditions to unlock the knight armor.
since I want to make a backup with the minimum and one with the maximum corruption. (to be done I give up holding slaves for the minimum)
and how a function of the 🍏 I currently have 3. otherwise .
I love these games and I can't wait for Monday's update.
The knight armour isn't too hard. Go buy the "regulation knight base" from the blacksmith, then just talk to him again afterwards and he'll make the armour for you!
The apples are just a fun little collectable! See how many you can find, and maybe you'll get a little something in the future!
Thanks for the kind words, and hope you enjoy the upcoming update a great deal!
OK I'm worried that the armor one is needing the slime and therefore increasing the corruption. Thank you for answering.
hi i finished the game , can someone tell me how to get the last 2 chest in the last room of the gallery ? and the gold one too , of the same room ?
I think the golden chest is to lose the tutorial battle at the start of the game!
I'm afraid I can't remember the other two chests just by their position... could you share the unlock hints, and then I can help you further.
hi thanks for answering,
the purple one says'' you find yourself entering a western path... and pestering a newcomer and his tent. Suddenly your corruption flares up...''
and the blue one : you leave the bandit hideout with a souvenir in toe... you decide to leave this with another, until they have the necessary tools and amount to repair it.''
your game is great by the way
Thanks for the compliment! Glad you enjoy it enough to want to 100% it!
Purple chest: With 10 Corruption, try and repeatedly enter the Mercenary Commander's tent over to the left / west of the inn (hooded guy who gives you desert robes).
You can grind Corruption points if you want by getting repeatedly captured by the jungle slugs or the green slime dragons.
Blue chest: You need to give the 'slave suit tatters' to the blacksmith and let him make a new set of armour for you. This item can be acquired by getting captured by the bandits and then escaping... and there'll be a new way to acquire it in the upcoming update.
Up to you if you want to replay the game, or wait for the new update.
Hope this all helps!
yes it does , thanks can't wait for the new update.
will there be a way to play the new version or the current one on android?
You can use JoiPlay or MaldiVes emulators to play on Android, both now and on the upcoming update, but both of them have issues and are not officially supported or endorsed by us. The game is made for and intended to be played on home computers.
If you're desperate, JoiPlay has graphical issues on certain maps. MaldiVes has subpar performance. Pick your poison, hah.
ahh I see its just going on a trip soo and it's a bit inconvenient to take my laptop so wanted to see my options thanks
And when will there be a Chinese patch after the update.
——A Chinese who can't wait
We will try to release a Chinese patch before the end of the month.
Wow, it's like a gift! I can't wait for the update.
Is there any Donation link except "paypal" here? I don't have the paypal, thank you~
You can donate by hitting the 'download now' button, inputting your amount, and using your card information!
You don't have to download the game again to complete the donation, so don't worry about that :)
Ok,got it~Thank you;)
there are only 5 days left until the release of the new update I can hardly contain myself
Wow, is the news true? May I ask where you can get this information? If you can share, thank you for telling me.
he had said that by the 15th it will be released
Wow, thanks for your answer. I’m really looking forward to January 15th.
To be precise, it was said that he was hoping for the 15th, so this is not a fact.
This is the best news I have heard this year.
Sorry to disappoint you, but we have not confirmed this information yet! The game may take an extra day or two. We may also delay the release for an extra day to prepare ourselves, or because of jobs / work / personal obligation.
We will make an update here on itch.io, on RegalBuster's and SirIzike's Twitter, on our Discord and FurAffinity pages when we have an exact date settled.
Please be patient for just a little longer. I do not want you to think we lied to you.
It’s OK. It doesn’t matter if we wait a few more days. You can update your game after you finish your work. Finally, I wish you a happy new year.
Thanks for your kind wishes and your understanding :)
quick question, how do you get to the abandont tent on the western cliff crossroads, from where at night purple light comes out? and how do you get the middle outfit?
the tent can't be accessed yet.
the armour can be bought from the blacksmith.
hope that helps.
in this update it will be like an ally was captured can you have the option to help him or let him be corrupted or have the option to ally with the enemy depending on your corruption?
Not in this update, no.
Thanks for the answer and I hope you guys have a lot of success with the game so until the 15th to play the game when it launches :^)
ps: I don't speak English so if you got something wrong, know that I'm using google translator ok
I'm so excited for the next update that i can't wait for more time
We're almost there. A few more weeks at most. Should be this month for almost certain.
This is the best news I’ve heard all year. Thank you for your contributions.

Looking forward to the update, have a nice day!
Happy New Year to you too, and thanks for the kind wishes.
Update will hopefully be arriving soon. I can't promise a Russian patch immediately, as our translators are just volunteers, but we'll at least try!
Hey There Guys Happy New Year! :D i was wondering how many days were left until the game because I lost track already? I remember you said 20 last time

Thank you, and same to you!
Worth the 10 dollars I gave
Greatly appreciate the donation, thank you so much~!
I'm scared to release the new update, I can't wait to play it, it's the best NSFW furry game out there, a lot of people are waiting for it, I know you guys barely have time to do things because of school and etc, but you guys are very good at it, but it's eating me up inside
It's not going to be too much longer. Try and stay calm and patient for just a little longer, OK?
Thank you for the compliments, and I hope you enjoy the update when it arrives!
thank you and happy new year seriously what a unique game no wonder it's the best of all NSFW seriously
Just out of curiosity, will this new update have bestiality?
not that I'm complaining but it would be nice to have content like that on it
Not in the typical sense, no.
But if you enjoy lewd scenes that involve an anthro, and some kind of creature that is quite feral-minded and not all that intelligent, you miiiiight enjoy a particular scene.
Another Rinnal scene then? 👀🤤
Greetings. I really want to know when will be the announcement of the next update?
Soon. We're hoping for somewhen in the first half of January.
Make sure to follow us here on itch.io, on our Twitter socials, or join our Discord server if you'd like to know in advance.
Best wish！

Hello there. I have a few questions. Is there any way to reduce my depravity and how bad is it if there is a lot of it? Thank you in advance for the answer.
There is currently no way to reduce your corruption level.
Right now it only has minor effects: It adjusts some dialogue, it 'enhances' one scene, it makes a another lewd scene unavoidable.
When truly 'bad' effects start appearing in the game, we might give players a way to reduce their corruption level.
Hope that answers your questions.
hello again, i want to get something out of the way before i start, i never meant to make demands or force views, you just thought i did, i was merely suggesting some optional cosmetics we could modify for our own personal grove experience, and i do support this game, even though im broke irl, i want to see it succeed, and not changing any narrative, just one or two females that are totally optional by the way, never just assume anything, p.s. i gave the game a 5 star btw.

when update ?been waiting for a while now
Early January, hopefully.
Hi! Hello! I just wanted to say, great game you two made! Certainly gained a lot of traction and love from fans <3
Although, I keep getting crash messages at the Cavern Core with the green slime monster after Grapple phase as he coated Grove with a slime suit. The crash message says I have to go to persistent.rpgsave but when I do, I don't have the necessary program to start. What should I do? Should I redownload the game?
Could you please take a screenshot of the error message and share it here? It would help immensely if we can see what it says exactly.
I couldn't seem to replicate the error, sorry :(
I remember it was something like:
"ERROR MESSAGE"
"Error: EBUSY: resource is busy or locked, open (a long string of file lead)-/www/save/persistent.rpgsave"
I hope that helps
Also, the game froze on the Bandit Cells after I stay there for too long, but I could hear Grove running around and ambience.
Well, I'm glad that you were able to proceed without the same error reoccurring.
As for the "freeze" issue, this is something that tends to happen with RPG Maker if you do indeed stand around for a long time and have other things going on in the background on your computer. It's not specific to that area or our game... it's more like a memory issue on lower-powered computers.
Hopefully you can continue to proceed through the game. It might be a little bit jittery in performance but I'm afraid that is all stuff outside our control (the game engine itself or your computer's spec)
Oh alright! Thanks for the reply, it helps a lot! This is the first time I have played any turn-based RPG game so I don't know much about files management ^3^'
Oh and I play the game on the Dell G15, which is a gaming laptop, with 16GB RAM, I hope the information helps!
Are you running the game from a cloud folder (drop box, google drive, onedrive etc)? The persistent file issue is usually a symptom of this. If so, be sure to run the game from your computer's drive as the auto-sync often breaks the saves!

I'm not placing the game files in any cloud-based folder, just my computer file, specifically in Downloads
