V0.15.1 Bugfixes

Changes-
- Added an additional multiplier to impregnation chances when under the curse of fertility
- Added the option to quit research early when researching calmly - This is tied to the smutty romance book option)

- Floor 3 still needs its map screen! I'll try to get this running soon, the third floor is so close to being done so I should finish it up since it's expanded a lot since I added a few classrooms to it.
- Floor 2's map needs to be updated to show the wind elemental wing

Been playing 15.2 off your site. Bugs found:
The tunnel to the Dark tower asked if I wanted to skip to Neko village, I did yet it dropped me on floor 1 anyway.
After reaching Neko village, I asked to skip the Neko boss and it took me to floor 9. Beating the Neko boss let me proceed.
When I hit floor 13 I got the "sending me back home message" but the screen stayed dark. Used the antifade part of the debugtool to fix.

[Bunnyav]

I also still seem stuck with Anya just doing the same Bar event and gossip session. How do I convince her to not use contraception?

Does the librarian do anything after making out in front of her assistant?

Also, my research limit is somehow 0 despite having 29 INT.

[hgameartman]

Thanks for the bug reports!
I think that the Librarian scene ends a scene or two later, with a lesbian scene where she acts a bit more dominant, but there's plans for repeatable scenes (likely a variety of the threesome that can have you play with both of them!) as well as side-stories for her, same as with Anya.

Anya's side story should be progressing... I'll check the code again, perhaps it works fully on a new game? I'll run some tests and fix it up either way though! ( I'll update the debug tool too for more storyline control options...).

I'll try to fix the main tower issues and the research bug too!

[Bunnyav]

Ok, the Anya story finally said something different after like 8 attempts, Got the threesome scene to follow and it looks like if I keep calling her I'll keep getting threesomes.

I believe I saw the final scene in the librarians home then. Guess I'll focus on building tunnels (no way am I restarting a 40 hour file before the final game)

V0.16.0 Patreon Release!

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Updates-
-A new dungeon has been added: Forest Ruins

-It's not complete, the boss and later parts have yet to be done, and there's a gathering mechanic and field-change mechanics that still need to be fleshed out and implemented, but the dungeon itself is about halfway complete!

-Immature Tentacle Plants added! (as well as a few other enemies!)

-These feisty tentacle plants love to get a little handsy, and their sap has Aphrodisiac properties! They're unable to perform reproductive activities yet though on account of their growth, but that does make them a bit less dangerous at least...

-Expanded the tutorial with a new messaging system!

-This will do more than just tutorial stuff later, but for now it acts as an expanded tutorial, with the help of Vinyae! It's also not complete, only the first 3 or so days are done.

-This can be disabled in your Comm Options as well



-Added a "Hiding" pose to the main character's portrait images!

-This mostly shows when nude or underwear at high/neutral purity, while not pregnant



-Expressions change based on clothing state!

-Nothing big, just changes the "Neutral" expression to an embarrased one if nude/underwear and pure



-Added artwork for blessing of pleasure, blessing of development, and curse of fertility!



-New artwork for the imp scenes!



-One office in the first floor office wing is now owned by the potions

instructor!



-New H-Scene- Nurses Aid: Solo Handjob



-Added an autosave feature!

-Expaned save slots to 21, and each morning an autosave is created on said new slot, before class choice is brought up.

-This is not designed to be a main save method, so please make manual saves as well!



-Refined Mana Regen as a stat!

-It now is listed on the stats screened

-Is now gained from attending the corrupt church's group activity as well as from book club

-It now has a cap of 10, instead of 3

-The first 3 levels of mana regen now are easier to reach



Changes-

-Switched the basic attack key from Z to S, freeing us of the annoying "pew" while gathering on the field!

-Removed the option to save each morning, since it now autosaves each morning.



-Changed default resolution from 1024x900 to 1600x900 to support widescreen (and get rid of the black boxes around the edges!)

-Much of the artwork/scenes/text/maps if I can manage will be repositioned and fixed in the near future as time allows/i rework them (main character bust is in the middle of the screen! Oops...)



Bugfixes-

-Fixed a bug that tries to subtract a negative number from the nurse's aid ptj if you fail to cure an issue

-Removed debug text accidently left inside nurses aid ptj stuff

-Fixed slowness flask applying the technical skill rather than the true skill, this was preventing it from being used at all...

-Fixed many spells, and many spell-parts, having the wrong element applied

-Misc spelling and grammer fixes

-Fixed Carla's bust images not showing occassionally

-Fixed Field Spells not working! (particularly Brighten...)



Known Issues-

-Need to tweak the imp artwork for pregnancy varients... Or more likely redo it entirely

-Womb curse marks show through arms if hiding pose is active. Looks a bit weird.

-The two new AI types(used for archers and still enemies like tentacle plants) is still a little wonky... They sometimes try to flee directly into your face for archers, or forget to shoot...

-Autosaves do not work unless you have made a manual save on that file first.

-Tentacle Plants: Strange lag/freeze if you alt-tab out of the game during/before bind? It lasts a while, but eventually proceeds?

-Dungeon pacing and design still leaves much to be desired. Will continue working/studying it!

-Shadow/lighting errors will be seen when continuing from an old game. Should fix itself on map change/or next morning.

-So many class issues. Assignments break, potions can't be learned (revamp #3 of the recipes perhaps is needed...), grades go ploot.... I'll figure these out as soon as I can.

Nice to see this plugging along. I was exploring the outer fields dungeons a while ago and enjoyed the tentacle plants. Recently I tried to return to it but I couldn't get much farther after I lowered the water. Its as if the switch to re-raise the water to cross the floating bridge was missing. There were doors that looked open I couldn't walk through.

Thanks! I have a specific goal in mind for the game, and... it might be a while! I was hoping to be closer to 40-50% done by now, but I feel like it's just approaching the 25% mark instead! Progress is steady, but lost of stuff to go back and fix up/make better which slows forward momentum!

The dungeon's still incomplete, but I did fix a bug with the water-level switch being broken with V0.20.1, which broke that switch.
Unfortunately, you can't get much further (still haven't completed past the underground section, needs a certain puzzle) and the boss is still a work in progress (tentacles are hard to draw and animate!)

V0.22.1 Update!
https://www.patreon.com/HGameArtMan

https://twitter.com/Hgame03105829/statu ... 8926790659

Changelog:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Updates

New Scene: Tentacle Parasite: Eliana, Requires you to have seen all her scenes, and to be currently carrying the parasite Tentacle Pods: Fertilized
Reduced the size of the F2: Church map
Added failure states to the optional realism mode! Failing to use the restroom and eat properly lose a single time block! Not too punishing, but enough to encourage use of the systems if you enable it.
Changed transports on school outer entrance to reduce travel time to the village
Traveling Potions Merchant was added! Located in the middle of the new dining hall, he’s here to sell potions and buy a few ingredients from you until I properly fix potion making!
Changes-

Changed blessing of piety compulsion when donating to the church to 1/5th of your gold on-hand, instead of 1/10th
Set default save state to 1 (since it kept defaulting to the autosave slot at 21)
Bugfixes

Fixed water class transfering you into a wall afterward
Fixed Neutral Magic 1’s assignment log showing the wrong objectives and description
Removed a fadeout from tutorial message transports to reduce screen flickering
Fixed getting stuck in the desk after library tutorial on day 2
Fixed an old bust of Anya’s showing up during morning 4 tutorials in artifacts hall
Fixed getting stuck in gardening club entry in tutorial
Fixed class errors when taking less than 4 classes (at least, I think they’re fixed, more testing to make sure is required)
Fixed old Anya bust after beating the slimes in the waterway
Fixed a broken shortcut in spellcasting wing leading to the old Floor 2 Stairs instead of the new (and added the missing counterpart to the new F2 stairs)

Known Issues: (Some bugs, some misc thoughts on development)

MAJOR- Can’t learn potions recipes for some reason (or rather, they get deleted?) Been happening for a while, need a third rehaul to fix it.
New scene’s artwork is still unrefined. Will be tweaked later!
Balance is all over the place. Once I get a baseline in I need to make sure costs aren’t too high or low, monsters aren’t too dificult/easy to defeat, etc etc.
Morning 3 tutorials Anya vanishes when walking
Can study Null (new placeholder for empty class) and can also see it in stats screen, travel, etc
Double text appears if you click too fast when starting the choir club
Leaving without cleaning something in a room when it doesn’t need to be cleaned counts as a failure in the tavern ptj
Choosing classes UI needs updates (I need to figure out how to make better UI in general) At the very least, it should show classes you chose so far.
Class selection after finals can bug out, showing wrong course (workaround – Chose 4 cheep courses, get to the end of selection, and choose not to take them)
Class costs need some tuning to start, before you get raises it’s a bit of a pain the first few semesters
More maps still need to be redesigned, particularly large empty ones like the combat wing, Waterway dungeon, F2 corrupt church, school outside, infirmiry, village, etc
Neutral magic wing transport needs to be decoupled from mana manipulation room
Secret passages need some sort of labeling system – Will look into it for later

Sure the 2nd water switch is fixed? I started a brand new file. got to the third water switch and noticed 2nd underground was empty. Tried to backtrack and the door to the 2nd water switch is just an inactive black void. So there's no way to leave besides death and likely no way to get back to the plant enemies after I leave this place.

Major bug ruining the game

The game freezes on getting recipe books.
The game gets to the stage where it tells you receive a recipe book and thereafter nothing much happens.
The character cannot move and the recipes do not appear.
so far this has happened in
Potions 1
Artifact use - cloth making (receiving the processing recipe book1)
but these are the only two recipe books I have obtained.

The only choice is to forego the class or crash the game and reload and do not attend the class in the reload. This means the MC does not get the recipes.
Hope you can put out a quick fix.
