Here it is! This wasn't the relaxed, thorough, meticulous play-through I'd hoped for because I didn't want to make you guys wait. It should be an adequate test, making sure nothing is entirely broken. I am wiped. -_-RTP: https://mega.co.nz/#!bwEBBCwS!hSBjx6JJX282tvVYxYNWfgrhSkRKbWWBwErVYLKT_UgLight: https://mega.co.nz/#!X8ckXSSR!8IVlaWYnW1YPQQl8gTezTcuEtty9-bxPcEVj4CZlblkNOTES: - KEEP A SAVE AFTER 0.7.0! There's a new section of the game afterward, and while it's tested as much as normal, there's always the chance of bugs. You don't want to lose your replaying. - I guess I'm not promoting the game yet. I'd like to refine my pitch a little more and finish some other stuff. Some things will start changing, though. - It probably wouldn't hurt to have people test the hypothetical v0.8.1, so if you're busy now, maybe hold off for that? - I'm curious about how long it will take to play. I'd like to post "X hours of content," but the problem is that you guys will all finish things faster the second time. - The harem percentages mean nothing (certainly not the total planned harem). But the script breaks if a category is empty and so I needed some placeholders. - Be sure to point out anything graphical that looks worse or broken. I changed a lot of things. - This is a good time to request tweaks, be it dialogue or maps. - My new official stance is that "Ardoheim" should never be used as an adjective. People from Ardoheim are "Ardan" and so on. I may not have changed this in every instance due to the speed of the replay. - The title screen text got screwed up in the resize. I am so sick and tired of tweaking it, I'm done for now, but maybe I can contact the font person and get it fixed. Let me know if you guys think this is critical.I'm not sure when the public release will be. A week or two, depending on how fast people play and how much there is to do on the game. I'd still like more feedback on the pitch and I'll keep working on that stuff. For now, though, I rest.

I like the new title art and music. It certainly sets the tone for a more serious game. I just hope no one is overly bothered by the dead horse. I also like the new textbox backgrounds. I do think you should try to get the title text fixed, though. It's part of the first impression made by the game, and it looks all aliased and awful. Surprised you decided to make the "Ardan" decision after how much trouble replacing Fucklord turned out to be. But then, I expected there to be some sort of whole-project text-search utility at your disposal, first-party or third-party - apparently not. (And I do intend to reply to the revised pitch post, after I've played through the new version.)

I found something that seems wrong. On the Map after you recrute Cumdumd the Obnoxious Slime gives 0 EXP and only 1 Money. Is this right?

robopatron

i played through the last version and loved it but i was wondering because my saves from that version no longer seem to work with this one if there will be a way around that like cheats or debug stuff that would make catching up faster

Sent an email with a running commentary written as played from beginning to end...of Chapter 1. So glad you are like me and love to think big when it comes to writing and creating worlds. There ain't no way I'm going anywhere, not after all the stuff I've seen so far.

So this is my 3rd playthrough of the game, and I still managed to find something I'd missed previously. The level of detail is just mindblowing, great job =)

Are Shining Swords supposed to be usable by anyone? Because...they're not. Unless I'm missing something. And I think I own three. Also, Megail asked me to invest when we returned from rescuing her, but I didn't have the funds, since the game seemed to be encouraging me to invest immediately. Does that mean I missed that opportunity for good?

Dagon Lies

I think I'm stuck. I've invested all the available funds and am up to trying to find Megail after she runs off. I've talked to everyone in the city after talking to Sarai for the blessing. What's more, I can see Megail in the House of Petitions but I can't get in there. What am i missing?

So this playthrough took me six hours and eleven minutes. I noticed a couple of things involving Yarra's sprite. In the meeting hall at the trading post after the slavers separate the party Yarra is represented by her old sprite instead of the new one, and when you're in The Blue Rose and it's showing nightly sex animations between Simon and his harem when Yarra's up for riding him it's also her old sprite. Also, is 65,000 really about the only amount I've got to invest with? There are so many opportunities and the mine and bank are each 50K!

I sent a PM to your LoK account with my immediate thoughts after playing. My playtime as of now is ten hours, two minutes, but I love poking around at everything and stealing swords. Aka's a clever girl. Also, yay for the Ardan. I'm glad that you took my suggestion, although I'm sorry I created more work for you. Thanks for another wonderful update.

Well, I noted the Yarra sprite issue, but that wasn't major to me (noted, and an odd thing, but I liked her 'temp' image, so it didn't freak me). When rescuing Megail, I noted there was a room with chests, but the Unwoman NEVER MOVED, so I finally gave up and moved on (it's the one on the far left in case you want to know :) ). Finally reached the end, and I must say you've got a nice three-way general ending deal there: sacrifice, empire, or shadow harem. I'm assuming Incubus are near Immortal, or immortal unless physically slain. Having someone strong enough willed to retain self-mastery, but on watch for serious issues might be fun indeed. I can see from the comments I've missed a few things so I'll replay later, or when the next chapter gets up, and check those out. All and all, you have my attention. I even bought RPGmaker Ace to poke around and learn how things like this are made. It's been a worthwhile toy to tinker with.

So if you invest in the mine, you receive a box in your room at the palace. When you open the box, you don't receive anything but there's gibberish in the text box. I'm assuming this is a placeholder for later on?
