-Brothel leveling redone - no longer based on level. Once the brothel is open, every 200 steps on an overland map will cause the next group of customers to come through.

Haven't played anything yet. Yet i already have a tiny question.

I like the announced change to the brothel system. But what exactly counts as an overland map? Actually just the map that links the various loations? The name implies this, but 200 steps out there seem like a lot if caves and such do not count. (Yeah, i'm lazy, i use the teleport option a lot )

zomgggggggggggggggggggggggggggg new release!?

I can't wait to find time to check out the update

[Zadrien]

nice i was starting to think this 1 might have died so glad i was wrong i wonder what the next update will have oh and the story is realy nice

[phoenyxz]

Gods and KER thank for this i new game for my free time all cant wait to see how the history goes now

[Lucky777]

I like how it's going so far, but really?

Chick snaps metal handcuffs around a wooden tree and all without a god's strength?

*Implied facepalm look*

Also, overnighting at the convent doesn't restore your HP and shiz

...What, and then we don't even bother to bind her the second time? How stupid am I supposed to believe the protagonist even is, bro? Plot's makin' some oopsies.
Oh, and then Danielle rubs it in? Just 'cause the impossible happened twice she's disappointed?
Oh this is rampant fucking bullshit.

Speaking of Oopsies, not plot related this time, when I return to the temple to report the state of

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The forest

To Danielle, Danielle's disappeared. You can still talk to her, fortunately, but she's just gone.

Anyway, as to the update in general, I'm looking forward to the royal brothel, and the update is good apart from dem plotfarts.
The first plotfail is the more grievous, if anything.
For metal specifically designed as a restraint to be broken in the first place, and let alone around wood, for realsies?
Oh just
come the fuck on

Oh, also, aren't the angels ancient?
If they are, how's something ancient going to surprise them?
Seems like it'd be notorious amongst their kind if what it can do is legit, what with the binding and all of that.

Alber - There's quite a few issues with 0.6a.1, the tentacle sacrfice is one of them. See the blog for more details. It's being worked on.

Spectral -
1- I probably should of better indicated where the enemy camp was and turned down the encounter rate
2- It's not a stupid idea, just not implementable. The amount of writing and variable tracking that would require to do right no way justifies the payoff.
3- Yeppers. The place to spend those tokens isn't coming for a while, so I really don't know how I'll do the droprate overall. I really only intent the player to have 1-3 of them by the end of 0.6a
4- I thought it made combat too predictable so I removed it. Based on the feedback I've gotten, it will probably go back in.
5- Over time the amount of interdependency of the scenes will be reduced. There's a of dangling threads from 0.5 that are being resolved.
6- Thanks

cookie - I believe your steps are counted any place where there are random encounters. So running around in circles doesn't do anything in town, but if there are monsters around, it does.

Zadrien - I've been at this long enough where if I decide to call it off, I will let everyone know. Maybe a month or two after it happens sure, but I will announce it. But dev cycles are usually 3-6 months for this kind of thing.

-Melony broke the tree branch, not the handcuffs. Maybe that should of been more clear
-She was restrained the second time, by Angelica and Jessica. But they got distracted and that let her escape.
-And yes, on the dark path you and Danielle aren't friends.
-Spoiler - bug acknowledged
-Neither the angels nor the demons are what you think they are. In fact, you are thinking pretty much exactly what I want you to be thinking at this time. MUW-HAHAHAHA

same here at least it isn't just me but loving this new part already well worth waiting for.

[MiscChaos]

Just wanted to apologize for the walkthrough suddenly coming to a halt. I'm at my mom's house until around the 13th and I can't really play through while at my mom's house, so walkthrough production will pick back up around that time unless someone else does it.

[phoenyxz]

i can live without the walkthrough i just need to know what kind of freaking room is that i cant get out *-*

[phoenyxz]

but i loving how its going so far it payed well for such a long w8

-Melony broke the tree branch, not the handcuffs. Maybe that should of been more clear

Eh, I'll look at the scene again sometime, I could just have derped up, and in that case, that's a GG plain and simple. Wouldn't be the first time.

-She was restrained the second time, by Angelica and Jessica. But they got distracted and that let her escape.

Yeah, I mean chain her hands and legs, or did she abscond with his last pair of handcuffs or something.

-And yes, on the dark path you and Danielle aren't friends.

I was more being displeased by the fact that she rubbed in our failures when they really shouldn't have happened in the first place, but I suppose breaking a tree branch or just sort of ... sliding her handcuffs off a tree branch isn't impossible. I would have sworn it looked like she was handcuffed to some odd tree that arched into the ground but like I said, I'd have to look at dat shit once again to be certain.

-Neither the angels nor the demons are what you think they are. In fact, you are thinking pretty much exactly what I want you to be thinking at this time. MUW-HAHAHAHA

Huh. Well then. That much is working out perfectly for ya, I guess, glad to see.

Based on the feedback I've gotten, it will probably go back in.

Well that is fucking good news.

EDIT:

So yeah, after re-reading the scene in CG mode, the "it" that I thought was a typo was in fact referring to the branch instead of to the chainS, and thus it wasn't even a typo to begin with.
The thing DID look like she was cuffed to a tree that bent back into the ground, though, so my state of GG-itude isn't as abject as it could be.

Still pretty severe though.

GG

Oh, Ulya WASN'T supposed to send me to that empty room? Huh... I thought it was just the end of the version... Nuts. Hope I saved not too much earlier...

If you like the effect of not having enemy health in the game, then by all means feel free to get rid of it. I just liked the indicator of how well I was doing in any given fight. Perhaps you could make it a special ability some girls add to the screen when they're in the party?

I replayed the "Trial" sequence when I began the new content, and there are some invisible walls outside the warehouse on Rhea's quest. You can also walk clean through the pillars in the wizard's tomb, but I liked that effect, so hey.

[cookie jar]

cookie - I believe your steps are counted any place where there are random encounters. So running around in circles doesn't do anything in town, but if there are monsters around, it does.

That's perfect then imho. Given the amount of time you spend crawling through goblin caves and similar areas. That's the sort of area i was wondering about wether they counted or not.

[Caesar]

I haven't seen this posted yet


Cave lights turn on, character gets stuck. I assume it's a custscene bug where Caesar is rudely blocking the way, but I don't know - I've never made it past this part. If there's any temporary workarounds, let me know

[Semugi]

Hey, Loving the game but the tunnels in western corsix seems to have a bug.

I was blowing up tunnels and then i decided to go to the town and rest. When i returned and advanced further i was suddenly unable to move. The game wasn't frozen 'cause i could see the lanterns fire moving. I'm unable to move or open the menu and such so the only thing i can do is close the game... This is the only bug i have experienced in the game so far and i've been finding the game close to perfect!

[phoenyxz]

all boy,, i was so happy and now im busted and not becuase i said anything worng this time óhhhh god dark humour pains me!!!!

[iamnuff]

so i guess theres no way to progress past the Ulya bug yet?

[ker]

Alright, lets try this again. Harem 0.6a.2 released. Entirely a bug-fix versions.

Bugs squashed
-Donnie/Tomas not appearing on the tram
-Freezes in the Corsix tunnels
-Danielle vanishing from the Convent
-Ulya sending you to your room alone
-Jessica resisting the focus buff
-CG for Melony playing for Kathleen
-A few typos/face issues
All of these should be retroactive and work with existing saves.

Things brought back
-Health bars and location reports. The community has spoken!

Bugs not fixed
-The step counter script error. I don't know how to script in Ruby at all, and my normal script wizard is on summer vacation (Europeans...) Unfortunately the script is vital for the way the brothel works, and the 0.6a content overall and would be a massive undertaking to program around it.

The error seems most commonly associated with using the f12 key while playing. I'm not sure what it does, I've never used it, nor had the script error. Maybe in the future that can be addressed. Until then, stop pressing the f12 key.

That fixed my problem, (though I made a new game after getting a CTD with my old save) but now I'm freezing again right after entering the east tunnels on the way to East Corsix, after defeating the boss

Here's my save file, right before it happens
