I was so confused at the title sequence. Just downloaded this game and the first thing that happened was I was unable to access anything. Turns out, the default controls are arrow keys and the X/C buttons!?
Is there anyway to change this? No one would just assume this. Could there be WASD and E/R/T/F/G/Q controls? It's instantly intuitive with every game out there outside of point and click, and it's easier to guess than x.
I had to hit every key on my keyboard looking for how to access options and start the game. That's not a great start. If you just can't do that, at least put a little note in the corner of the title screen that explains these unique controls.I know you show the controls in game, but I legit was about to uninstall because I thought your game was broken.
Not everyone has had experiences with this game engine so you don't want the game to start off tricking players into thinking it's broken right from the start.
with nsfw games I always instinctively grab a hold of arrow keys as well as Z,X,C keys because a vast majority of these kinds of games use these inputs.
strange... I've never run into that and I've downloaded quite a lot of games here on itch.io.
I will believe you, but it is always better to show players what the controls are; especially when not everyone has played other games before.
All games I've played on itch has been WASD if they used the keyboard at all. The majority of RPGMaker games use WASD and/or arrow keys. When that happens, it's explained right away. You know what I mean? Don't make players assume, basically.
Not everyone downloads and plays the game on the same day and when you start the game, there is no reminder, warning, or disclaimer that shows to hit x on the title screen.
Clicking doesn't work. Hitting space bar, escape, or E didn't work. Hitting all the other keys on the keyboard didn't work. My instant thought was that the game was broken and that should never ever be the first impression for any game.
Just askin for small text at the corner of the title screen that says "press x to continue". That's not difficult nor unreasonable.
Is the game a little bugged? In the mission "Orc Villa Thorne", I cannot give Norge the Bruole and nobody talks about Orcosaurus to me, so I can't complete the quests in this mission. Talking to the chef orc after finishing the mission now also softlocks the game, I can load a save or go back to the worldmap, but I can no longer move.
Thanks for your question! I think its reasonable to expect some kind of of repopulation, but I'm not sure as to what the extent is.
The reason for the Glithe hanging out in the zones is made apparent when completing the chapter.
The main game is significantly further along than the demo. The demo ends rather abruptly, and the paid version has a lot more scenes. Overall, I would like to believe we are about 50~60% complete with the final game.
Very good game with cool story, I played the demo but I'm ngl, being forced to fight a boss without a save point at level 3 that then forces you to complete level 2 (with unskippable dialogue cutscenes) is pretty infuriating. Besides that, excellent game, excellent art
I just played through the demo and I like it so far. I read a bit through the comments here and saw that the current paid version already contains many QoL features. I was wondering though how many levels there are currently compared to the demo.
And since I'm new with itch.io, if I was to purchase the game on the current version, would I also be able to receive future versions?
Hi, the game is a work in progress. Bugs and QoL issues are common and are updated bit by bit as we go. A majority of these issues are fixed in the latest version. If you purchase on itch, you continue to get the updates - however, subscribers on Subscribestar/Patreon get them first.
Hello, I am having an issue on start up that I can select that I am over 18, but when it gets to the main menu I cannot select start or any of the options. All I can do is scroll up and down between the options, but not select any.
No but for real Sycooo... what's wrong with a main character that's not white/male/heterosexual... is it just a phobia of anything that you don't like ? I mean you also seem to say that futa is bad but judging by the rest on your comments I guess Furry is ok compared to the rest ? soooo do you believe a game has more chance of success if it has furries instead of a FeMC ?
(btw at least don't follow your alts... that's just cringe)
Im lost, On mission 9, It says find all the human remains as a side quest. I swear I interacted with every skeleton and I even counted four but for some reason it says I only found 3/4. Whats going on?
I attempted to run this game with Crossover on mac, and it just does not run, is there a link to a thread where people have gotten it to run before as the dev said someone got it to work on wine
Potential Bug. Stuck on LVL 8 I think. Where you platform as Dog. Saved at the second part and tried exiting level through flag at end of level. Sent me back at the beginning just before the checkpoint save. Tried again same result. Windows 7 OS. Using ver 0.5.2 Spicy [Hotfix 01].
I’m enjoying how the game’s been shaping up but 0.5.2Hotfix01 still has some rough bugs
I managed to soft lock myself a couple of times by, I THINK trying to move while spamming through textboxes. Once talking to the orc cook again after having already got the Gruole and once when talking (again for the second time) to the memorial on the revisit to the cave. In this second one I managed to unlock myself through redoing the fight which was only slightly less annoying than having to restart the application
Eventually I got in a worse soft-lock that I think just killed my save outright. I played the Dog minigame and it got confused about screen transitions. It took me from the first to the third and, afterwards, would always bring me back to that screen when i reached the end and chose to exit to world map. This too was a revisit and meant I couldn’t even find out how much of the doggie snack miniquest was implemented, may have missed out on some good stuff. Since I had saved on that screen I think that’s just gone for that save slot and i don’t feel like going through the whole game again at this point… Between this and the other softlocks, MAYBE an “abort mission” option that just takes you back to the world map regardless would be a great option in order to avoid these types of issues
In the dog minigame, I think I mentioned this in a previous update but it bears repeating that the way you’re detecting whether the player is allowed to dash in the air is not satisfying and feels pretty jank. A better system would be to set a “canDash” flag when the player gets airborne. Not being able to dash on the way down from your jump is quite annoying
Final dog issue is that the exit trigger for the redstone room is tricky to find, actually. I thought I was stuck
In the cave, I also don’t know how much of Felix Quest is implemented. It got stuck at “report back to Felix” after finding the ghost and fighting the elemental. One small detail of the elemental fight is that the little hint near it implies you should be patient when patience 100% gets you killed in that fight and you need to keep mashing to stunlock the elemental instead
The Torrasque sprite seemed to be missing, every time it was supposed to be on screen I had a massive black square instead, a bit unfortunate
For other graphical things, some textboxes were misplaced and/or the text just flowed out of the screen. Two that I remember were Loba’s dialogue and also some of the dialogue in the final fight…. I think it was the explanation for Luccia’s ultimate thingie. And the textbox for lorestones is centred in the position of the lorestone itself. This can cause it to bleed off-screen if the lorestone is not properly centered. Easy to do in the initial area
For some reason the Orc Village replays the ending dialogue every time you leave it, even in revisits, which is quite annoying
There seems to be some continuity issue with Orcosaurus quest. Scab tells you to do the quest so he’ll give you the key with which you can free the half orc. But since him being freed is part of the main quest, that just happens in the first visit and there’s no point to the key itself, which you still get
I don’t know what happened but the fight against Grumaz in the main quest is also kind of a crapshoot now? Feels like I was mostly dependent on lucking out throughout the combat with timings and whatnot. Since Luccia gets stuck in attack animations and has to pay stamina to block and use spells, that whole section is too difficult now, I think. The only one in the game, imo, the rest of the combat is appropriate
Flappy Rhed feels a bit unfair, he doesn’t respond fast enough to make it feel like your inputs are very meaningful. That star feels unreachable as everything is apparently mostly luck dependent
A fair amount of new content and it’s all nice stuff. May sound like this post is all complaints but this is just pointing out some particularly sharp edges in what is otherwise pretty great. They are all punctual and can all be fixed but DO hurt a lot the enjoyment.
I’d also consider adding an option to skip or speed up cutscenes. Some of those go on long and can get frustrating on repeats (either new save or accident)
I tried running this game on Parallels Desktop. I already installed the required MSVC++ but I only got as far as the "are at least 18 and above" window. No other options from there. It did say that emulation is not supported, but seeing how it ran other Itch games, I thought it would work the bare minimum at least
Yesterday I downloaded the game demo, it's quite nice even though it's not a genre I'm into, but oh well. I was wondering about a few things, though. Does this demo get updated by any chance? Because I noticed that the translation into my language (Italian) is a bit off, and in some places, a translation is missing (Orc village), which was probably done through Google Translate or other similar programs. Nonetheless, I can still read it without too many problems. Additionally, I strongly suggest adding more save zones besides just the automatic save or in the menu. Not to mention that I often don't understand who is speaking; I would also include the names of characters to make the conversation smoother. I hope my feedback doesn't offend anyone. The game is promising, and I might consider purchasing it, but I prefer to wait until it's fully complete, honestly. Right now, I'm playing the demo and seeing how far I can go. Even though I don't like buying games online, I'll see. Keep it up; you're doing great.
I might update the demo if there is enough qol changes that I think make a significant difference.
The paid version has the most content and many more features absent from the demo. Unfortunately your right, it is mostly Machine translated. I tried to make the color of text change with the character, or use the right portrait.

where is powersource of robot machine?
not implemented yet. This is a quest where later in the game you will receive an item and then say "oh, I know where to take this"

Wow thanks. I almost delete the game too.

Funny how the following is an excerpt from the games description:
The gameplay is optimized for Keyboard use. Z=Attack, X=Magic, C=Block.
True it does not mention movement but it does let you know 3 of the keys that are used...
Not everyone downloads and plays the game on the same day and when you start the game, there is no reminder, warning, or disclaimer that shows to hit x on the title screen.

Update 0.5.5 has that. Should be available here on itch once supporters finish their run on it.
what version is the demo on
The demo reflects a small portion of 0.3.0, and its does not recieve updates often.
i see thx
Is the game a little bugged? In the mission "Orc Villa Thorne", I cannot give Norge the Bruole and nobody talks about Orcosaurus to me, so I can't complete the quests in this mission.

Norge won't talk to you about Orco until you have at least begun Orco's quest. Talk to the hiding Orc to the east of town
can you make it for mac?
Is there a way to switch languages? It automaticly selected my language, but is there a way to switch it if I want to select english
press f1 for settings
<3
So, if it's her job to repopulate the earth, can it be inferred that pregnancy is/will be a feature
Also, is there a reason why there's a Glithe hanging out in the caves in level 5? Are you just checking to see if we're paying attention?
Final question, how far along is the main game vs the Demo?
Thanks for your question! I think its reasonable to expect some kind of of repopulation, but I'm not sure as to what the extent is.

Thanks. Those issues have been cleaned up in the paid version. The demo is old and is in need of updating as well.

Hello, I am having an issue on start up that I can select that I am over 18, but when it gets to the main menu I cannot select start or any of the options. All I can do is scroll up and down between the options, but not select any.
use X, C,V,Z
Will there be more bondage content in the future?
Why no male mc
You guys can ignore this fool and his alts

I don't know who hurt, well I guess I can guess, but seek help you deranged moron
No but for real Sycooo... what's wrong with a main character that's not white/male/heterosexual... is it just a phobia of anything that you don't like ? I mean you also seem to say that futa is bad but judging by the rest on your comments I guess Furry is ok compared to the rest ? soooo do you believe a game has more chance of success if it has furries instead of a FeMC ?
(btw at least don't follow your alts... that's just cringe)
will it be on android?
Im lost, On mission 9, It says find all the human remains as a side quest. I swear I interacted with every skeleton and I even counted four but for some reason it says I only found 3/4. Whats going on?
Some of those final quests are unfinished. Dont worry about it
dammitbird please help I need to know where is Marley's key to open the closet
There are some human remains that mention a "basement" of Post7. Hug the walls in post7 until you enter the basement.
how do I use fire?
I'm a little confused ho to activate cheat mode...
press Q on world map (spicy only)
does this game have NTR/ count as NTR?
will there be impreg?
…would be wild😏
How do you fullscreen? 🤔
F11
I attempted to run this game with Crossover on mac, and it just does not run, is there a link to a thread where people have gotten it to run before as the dev said someone got it to work on wine
Will you make this game available for Android? I know it's near impossible and i like this game
I've seen people successfully emulate it on android. Otherwise no
Is it really possible to emulate it? What kind of application did they used?
I can´t save the game after latest spicy update, any suggestions pls??
Potential Bug. Stuck on LVL 8 I think. Where you platform as Dog. Saved at the second part and tried exiting level through flag at end of level. Sent me back at the beginning just before the checkpoint save. Tried again same result. Windows 7 OS. Using ver 0.5.2 Spicy [Hotfix 01].
Can't progress past cave level as it crashes when trying to exit through flag, but previous version never had this issue for me so I'm at a loss
that's odd, it's never been reported before. Can you tell me a little bit about your pc? (Os and hardware)?
Also, you can get passed this level by pressing q on the world map.
I want to know where is the gallery
First locatin. Go back from where the first mission started (and where you can't go on a start of the game)
I really need help. I can't find the key to the armory and the East Wing Key (female quarters key). Where are they? Can someone tell me please?
-East Wing Key is in Gardener's Closet in the Barracks. Go in through the back window behind the bldg
-Armory Key is in Marley's closet . Make sure you get the key for that in the Post7 basement (hug the wall of the Post7 F1)
Thank you very much
is the paladin quest completeable at this time
the game wont let me somehow start it so im just stuck in the main menu
Same
for some reason the game auto selects portuguese (my native language)and i can't change it :/ deal breaker for me tbh
Use F1 to change language.
this worked, thanks!
bro where the hell is this breeding chamber

Thank you, ive saved these notes in my logs to address in the nezt update
I tried running this game on Parallels Desktop. I already installed the required MSVC++ but I only got as far as the "are at least 18 and above" window. No other options from there. It did say that emulation is not supported, but seeing how it ran other Itch games, I thought it would work the bare minimum at least
Ive seen people emulate it before on multiple platforms, including wine and android.
the problem is that I lack the ability to help you troubleshoot while emulating
Ah, that is fine. I will see if there is a way to run it properly.
is there a guide at all i wanna beat big orc nigga but ion know how to stop his healing or find the gem for buss
You need to do the scab acnea sidequest to stop his healing, then hes beatable
thanks mate
