So how are you able to get to the Nekomata village also does the player get to TF into a Nekomata as well?

Posted: **Thu Apr 30, 2020 12:13 am**

Nekomata village is located at the end of the dungeon that unlocks semester 2! Nekomata (and other transformations) are certainly planned for the future, but not implemented right now

Is there a way Olivia to become a futa by chance?

Also planned, but not even close to being ready to implement. My art style is still evolving rapidly, so the characters will likely go through several iterations before development is over, so I'm holding off on adding transformations and such until I'm more confident in my abilities.

Okay then Thanks for the heads up about that I'm looking forward to it greatly.

Just finished the first semester and this is turning out very solid. Thought it was a bit clunky that you have to fight slimes the first time very likely before your classes teach you spells (I guess your friend was casting).

Does the big slime have different H scene than the small ones? How strong do you have to be to hurt it.

Can the bar patrons knock up the heroine, or just the imps and slimes?

Posted: **Sun May 03, 2020 5:31 am**

Can't seem to use Chain casting archery; would have been nice if the spell auto took the slot it replaced.
I've yet to meet the male student and am in Semester 3.
Trying to get Imp scenes, I'm up to pantry stocking in kitchen help but the large money demands for classes make me feel I'm wasting time.
Can we get something sellable from dungeon runs? Or is crafting potions to sell it?

*EDIT
Figured out how to equip spear arrow, but very inconvenient it is disabled while in dungeon. Wish I hadn't forgotten basic arrow for dealing with small fry and narrow passages.

Ok, eventually the imps rape you during pantry. What determines how far they go? I had one session that I started at 10 secs than went all the way to triple Pen, while getting caught early sometimes meant they stopped despite me hitting allow within 2 prompts.

I see that potions actually aren't sellable, but catalysts are for barely anything. I could hurt the giant slime for 5 damage with 5 int, a wand, and Neutral laser; there was no true reward as he just became smaller. Seem weird the tutorial said mushrooms might grow there but they never do. The "tree" very seldom has anything so best to just farm catalysts in Nekemata Labyrinth.

I love the Nekomata nursery mechanic and wonder if there will be ways to interact with Imp/Human/later babies. I'm already presuming slimes just leave for the sewers since they don't even leave post delivery.

The gates at the top of Nekomata village open "sometimes" when you ask about them. Saving however can cause the guards to reset and you actually can't go deeper.

Questions:
after reading both books I haven't really seen much librarian interaction, is it worth reading a book again?
Are there any events besides flashing a boy that makes recruiting new Book club members worth it?
Aerobic class talks about someone "not paying attention to you" was that supposed to be the coach, or a missing boy student? Was the class always supposed to be the same running?
I fully studied Trap mastery and had full attendance, but my end grade was an 80, why?
Do you lose your scholarship if you don't fill the schedule with self studies when you are poor? (Milking myself is expensive!)
How far can you advance relations with tutorial student? Feels like I'm just repeating the boyfriend question after we talked by the water.
Any reason to do gardening after you get Contraceptive recipe, except the occasional Nature boost?

Looks like library research expires with the semester; maybe that activity (along with paper writing) shouldn't be allowed until you've gotten at least one assignment to do so. Or maybe have it part of the tutorial classes.

One last point, It's been interesting to read your thoughts on navigation and the secret passages. However, as they are now the passages are so secret and rather random, with the jump to class, jump to job shortcuts being far more effective to get anywhere.

Posted: **Sun May 03, 2020 4:56 pm**

Thanks for all the feedback!
The imp minigame has two main determenants. How submissive you are to them (how much you let them grope you) and the time of day (night being more active). There's a small scene with the imps at night, but they rob you of a bit of gold each time, but its the fastest way to max out your submissiveness tot the little buggers.

The "Not paying attention to you." line from the coach is a tiny clue into the first scene available In that class. The teacher essentially is into pure girls, with high purity his dialog changes and a H-Scene happens. The running's always the same, but the plan is for different events and dialogs to occur based on what you do and say, and at certain values, events happen around it. Currently the only two available are getting called out by the coach for a short scene, and, if Anya is attending (1/3rd ish chance) then she has a chance at high relationship levels to have a scene in the showers after class.

Some bugs are still remaining in the classes, I'll flesh them out. Book club's events require that you read the book entirely. That is, until you get the message saying you finished it. They're actually complete storylines, albeit edited down to fit in the timeframe of the game, and each full read-through gives a stat boost, so it's not entirely worthless.

Relationshops take about 50ish time-periods to max out, with 10 unique scenes, but can be passively leveled by talking to them. A gifting feature in the nearish future should reduce this down to 20 time-periods and give some more use out of gardening club.

Scholarships are grade-based, so if you ace self-study classes you actually make money!

Gardening club's still a little useless, but it's the only way to make potions reliably (dungeon spawns are kind of scarce) and you also unlock a single potion craft option at some point that lets you attend, grow your plants, craft a potion, then leave.

The giant slime, when beat, splits multiple times, and that area ha the highest droprate for catalysts in the game, which are used for some different potions. He is set to be a bit higher of a level, hence being a boss, but around semester 10 on my test file I was able to reliably and fairly effortlessly kill him repeatedly whenever I needed ingredients.

Secret passageways are partially there because I started to feel that having the school be super-linear (one direct path everywhere) was annoying. You can toggle them on in the map screen to see their location, and this should also carry over to the main screen, they'll show up as interactable objects as you're walking around if you've entered that side once....

That and I thought any cool castle's gotta have some secret passageways.

If I might propose something to help with the "relationship process", Persona 5 had little notes flare up when you did something helpful (never telling you how many notes you needed), and warning when thresholds were event locked, and had repeated dates between thresholds be super short. I would suggest you have a message that improvements are occurring and likewise make a fully repeated scene shortened or skippable. I went ham on Anya on a save branch and eventually started to see more scenes; specifically the breast potion one and the time she verifies you don't stuff your bra, which feel like they should appear in reverse order.

I enjoyed the two books of the book club very much, was just trying to see if I was missing anything other than MP regen by not re-reading them.

I answered my own question about what happens with Imp babies on delivery, and I was very satisfied, though getting a repeat script for every 10 milk when I had 150 to drain probably could be shortened- maybe they drain 30, since catkids take 20.

Also answered my own question that skipping courses costs some, but thankfully not all, of the scholarship. I'm curious to see if the game is going to have a hard time limit to it eventually, or will it stay "loose" like Violated Heroine, to take all the time you are willing to feed it.

There was definitely a bug in Potion 2 where the assignment appeared before the teacher actually requested Catalysts.

I got a hang of the secret passages more once the lights turned on. Oddly enough, I thought they'd be required to visit the 2nd floor at night, so it was a little off putting that what stood in my way was just guessing the wrong staircase. I absolutely respect the barriers are there to make the floor a "dungeon" via winding path, but maybe telegraph that the player should try other entrances. You might have noticed, but you can easily despawn all enemies by flipping back and forth between screens to not have to fight anything.

Since there's no Exp, good sellable drops, or too many crafts in the game yet, there's not a lot of incentive for fighting. I do hope that changes in the future.

Silly question, but is there battle rape outside of losses? Slimes clearly Game Over rape in first sewer. In the Labyrinth my goes without trap sense meant I was just 1hp and horny by the time I found the catmen, I can't tell if they killed me first or just touched me with the Heart Status active.

Submission to Imp Status- independent of Corruption I guess, hidden stat? Also, corruption and Purity can coexist it seems (nice girl in public, demon in the sheets I guess)?

Any hints on how I can meet the boy student?

The blog mentions "prostitution minigame" but does that actually refer to "Bar one night stand" minigame? If so, I feel extremely underpaid!

Any tips on the values of Stats BESIDES HP, MP, STR, INT, and WIS? Is END only for Prostitution? What will SPeed and Cha do?

Posted: **Mon May 04, 2020 9:05 pm**

Meeting the male character requires you to start down the combat classes on the 3rd floor, you meet him in the first and he hangs out in the training room below the classroom in the afternoons.

The next sequence of updates is expanding upon dungeons, starting with a proper boss for the nekomata area and leading into a new set of floors, with more battle-scenes like with the nekomatas, except hopefully programmed better.

There are two cases of battle scenes, perhaps 3?
1- Red slimes - If you're at max arousal (red heart in combat), their attack attempts to impregnate you with slimes. No scene yet though for it, text only.
2- Nekomatas - If max arousal (same as above) and you're hit by their tackle, they will initiate a scene, chance of impregnation.
3- Ghost Trap - More of a trap thing, but the second floor of the castle opens around semester 4ish or at high corruption, and there are traps that get very interesting up there.

The game allows corruption and purity to coexist, but the dominant one determines the majority of the personality, and raising one will drop the other. This should be shown through the words (Corrupt, Pure, Neutral) above your character's purity/corruption stats on the stats screen... Unless it's glitched again, in which case I should test and fix it.

The Tavern Part Time Job with high corruption and making a few mistakes in front of the right clients will unlock basic prostitution downstairs in the Inn, the way it's set up it will default to it if you have the option, but otherwise if you're horny or drunk it will initiate one night stands with no pay at all. It's probably not perfectly balanced yet, but the way it's set up it should be possible to make 100-200 on average a session if you can continue until the client is completely satisfied (requires high endurance, hp, healing potions, or some combination of all 3)

Thanks, found him last night. He's still neutral and only admitted to being bad at studying after 10+ interactions and I can't sneak into his dorm room at night, so that relationship is going to take a while.

Likewise, I saw the red slime and confirmed the Nekomatas don't need to game over. Funny story, on that run I had been infested by the red slime, then killed by nekomata a few floors later. The Game over warped me back into the slime sewer event which I'm sure you didn't intend (at least long term).

It looked like Nekomata births actually raise your stats, will that happen for the others?

While I reporting bugs, something weird happens to the protag's hair during the dark mass. Do either dark church events progress?- the weird sounds and art they have currently are dissuading me from testing them much further.

For point 3, I'm presuming you mean the ghost traps do more than just horniness later on? If I retake trap finding can I see them? because it's been nearly impossible to find enough to get to Red heart status naturally. They likely despawn along with monsters.

On the topic of despawns, the girls in the dormroom tend to despawn if you use the menu save.

It's true that raising Purity also lowers corruption, but since there's distinct events that ONLY lower respective values it was harder to notice.

Thanks for the tip on the Bar event, though I feel silly that I just switched to raising Purity for the PE events. I'm in the intermediate aerobics class with around 15 vs 6 pure to corrupt and I don't see any changes nor does Anya ever join the class. Do I need to retake level 1?

I started elemental class, it seems like Elemental attunement should be a visible stat somewhere since it hard to tell what value I get from training rooms, or whether training will affect class grades.

I somehow got a grade of 120 on a study hall course. Was that from leftover research or something? Is there value to selecting the librarians porn, I just keep getting the same message from it so far.

Posted: **Tue May 05, 2020 4:16 am**

Some of the classes seem to have glitches that distribute grades incorrectly. The corrupt church's current main purpose is manipulating corruption and reducing purity, and while the black mass only has one event and reduces purity by 15 regardless, the more you attend the dark rituals the more corruption gain from attending, as well as unlocking curses, which have a variety of effects, same as the blessings from attending a lot of the church's choir club.

Anya attending PE with you is a flat 1/3rd or so chance, so you're probably just unlucky. The PE, along with pretty much everything, is still in progress, and I plan on expanding on them throughout development, including redoing the art and adding new art for much of the current areas as my skills improve.

I'll be working on fixing up a (rather large now) list of bugs for next update, so thanks or all the feedback! With any luck, the next update will fix up lots of stuff, in addition to the planned content updates and additions!

And the Librarian's dialog when researching is mostly just flavor text I thought was kinda fun. Her storyline will go more into her relationship with the dirty books you find around the library as I flesh out her story and add scenes for her..

Posted: **Tue May 05, 2020 4:48 am**

I've been amazed by what you've been able to do with the game so far. I've had a lot of fun with this version and look forward with what's to come.

There is a bug with the Purity status, at 35->37 Purity/0 Corrupt I got my first angel who gave me blessing of pleasure. The status bar says I'm corrupt now. There doesn't seem to be anyplace where the blessing is displayed. The tutorial mentions benevolence but volunteering doesn't set that yet.

Sorry to ask again, but how do I get the gym teacher to notice me, it seems to be the only event triggered by purity and I'll need to flip back to corrupt to unlock Prostitution.
