New half update! If I managed not to add any major bugs in the frenzy of new stuff, I'll be making this post accessible to $1 people as well, so let me know once you've played.

- Stenai now includes a new event with Feremina.

- Gathering Complex Refurbishment price now scales with collateral damage.

- The Rodakan Order investment likewise scales with collateral damage.

Tweaks

- A new conversation with the Erosian harem leader now grants an Erosia point.

- The Helvanna "Succubi in Rodak" investment now grants character points.

- Ryoken receives a greater number of cosmetic changes as it improves, including new NPCs, new dialogue, and empty houses receiving doors or occupants.

- Two Erosian NPCs have new dialogue with Ginasta.

- Herin has moved from the Bloody Spire to Cee'Kan, if she became High Priestess.

- The Impaler has a new line of dialogue.

- Doors in Theltiar now animate (thanks to Decanter).

- Minor new dialogue for the Helvanna Lustlord temple.

- Minor additional dialogue to map succubus.

- Truly minor fixes, like typos or tileset corrections, are not listed.

Unlike usual, I've tried to catalog nearly every change and addition to the game. Please feel free to explore the parts that interest you most and let me know if you notice any issues. Though I'm hoping to switch gears and move beyond 0.55.x, I'll be around to deal with any bugs/questions/etc. You can still feel free to suggest additions or improvements, I just won't be adding anything big to the public .4 version.

Oh boy! You know, i think i'll just restart from my 54.2 save so i can see everything as a complete package :D

Captain Hair

Good half-update. Lots to go over. Feroholm has a suicidal old woman on the roof of a building. It made me laugh. The pub has a working door.... but no door hole. One guy inside mentions the pub having trouble getting beer, which seems odd, while another guy talks about sleeping on the floor while passed out on a stool. Simon's house being a park..... shame the people he worked so hard for are so against him still. Checked the Withered Mountain, saw no change, thought it a shame. Maybe in the future Simon and Riala can have a "redo" of their encounter there at the start of the game. Stineford farm hosting the poor had no issues I could see. The private rooms weren't exactly what I was expecting, but I got a good chuckle out of it. Of course Yarra would do this. Feremina's situation was fairly straightforward. Went for Rodak since Erosia's had time to rebuild. Ginasta conversations in Erosia were interesting. Her being confronted by both the positive and negative of her choices was refreshing. Got to invest in the Lustlord mission to the Orgasmic Empire in Helvanna again, but for the last time :P Tertia's fake orgasms return! Nice to see her legitimately smile after though. Dialogue in the Yhilin Guard Bar interaction is too big for the text box. Starts with "I thank Ivala I didn't serve in Stineford." More text box shenanigans at The Tower's Backdoor. Tried listing the lines, but most of this conversation adds scrolls to the text box. Textbox shenanigans in Denlak's bar. "In a positive direction." "Yes, only the average human level." Nice to see Wendis getting some drinking done. Couldn't find the Orgasmic Cafe convo, could be forgetting a bar somewhere. Think that's about it. Sorry about the post changing so much, but there was a LOT to cover.

So far the only thing I've noticed about the new stuff is one line from one the guards in the Yhilin bar convo has a wrapping issue. And a couple things that aren't related to this new update but that I've kept forgetting to write down and was reminded of again: I assume Ginasta hasn't been added to the Shards projection because everyone figures she wouldn't take the offer well? And also, I'm a little surprised no one's pointed out to Orcent that his thoughts not feeling complete or final or whatever is all the *more* reason for him to write them down! Write down his current philosophical thoughts, write down his previous ones as best he can remember them, and write down any new ones that come to him. He's the first orc philosopher in recorded history, a complete record of the arc of his views will very likely be worth more to future generations than just the record of whatever beliefs he ends up at. Especially since I suspect he's the sort who will never be truly satisfied with his current thoughts and call them final, I can just picture scholars debating what he'd have thought if he was still around in their time, or freaking out because someone found Kara's diary and near the end there are a couple offhand lines that could be read as hints about what thesis Orcent's incomplete final volume was building toward.

Zaq Reman

Only other bug I've noticed is no Orcent convo triggering in the Orgasmic cafe. I wonder if I'm missing some condition?

John Smith

Bug?: The investment finder still lists the Helvanna succubi Ivalans after investing in them

sierralee

Thanks for the reports! Got those fixed... as for Withered Mountain, I'm saving a final return for the postgame. The symmetry is too good to ignore. The Orgasmic Cafe conversation was bugged, fixed now. For anyone else reading, I did go fix all the unlisted overflows in the Tower Backdoor conversation. Anyway, since you were so thorough, I'm going to open this one up to $1 patrons. Everybody can still report things for the .4 cleanup version. Glad you enjoyed it!

sierralee

Thanks for your thoughts! Ginasta has reasons for not being in the shards projection, yeah.

sierralee

Not sure? There's an extra branch in there so that Megail's dialogue varies a little more.

John Smith

I'm fairly certain it's a bug. No other investment opportunities listed in the event. And I double checked I invested in them and I believe I spoke to all other succubi in Helvana to be sure

John Smith

Bug?: In Feroholm (rebuilt), there's an old woman on the roof in the centre of the town. I don't know if it's deliberate

sierralee

Can you tell me the specific line, then?

John Smith

The succubus Ivalans in Helvanna have expressed their interest in sending their people to Rodak

sierralee

Hmm. In that case, I'm honestly not sure what's going on. I can't replicate the bug on my end.

Decanter

So how <i>did</i> you end up organizing the "Hall of Illusions"?

sierralee

Yarra's aesthetic taste. What I got from the feedback was that there was no way I was appeasing everyone, so I at least made myself happy.

Decanter

I wonder if people would have expressed a preference for "some form of organization" over none, had the question been put that way, but at least I can stop wondering if there's a pattern I'm being too dumb to see.

sierralee

My general goal was to avoid identical animations being directly adjacent, with the exception of Robin since people might want to compare her versions.

Malidica

Done. Certainly feels 'fuller', though some locations have no updates that doesn't bother me as they're kind of in limbo with regards to investments taking time to eventuate in changes. I did find it odd just how fast Ferohelm was rebuilt though, really thought we'd get an intermediate step for how much it has changed, though originally i figured all we'd get would be like the eleven quarter of the slums, some new roofs and walls and maybe some paved walkways. Pretty great to see it so done up though. Basically like Stineford now.

Malidica

It'd be fun to have her in the projection but like Aka and Vhala, rejects the shard. Something super blunt with absolutely no follow up, just "I decline" or "No" or something similar :P

Malidica

Doing it from my 54.2 save, i had no problems closing out that twinkle, so it might be occurring somewhere in 55.2 saves.

Malidica

No! leave her there but turn it into something funny! Crazy lady shouting from the roof or something.

Malidica

I think it's practically perfect as is. You could tweak it 50 different ways but it serves its purpose and leaves nothing behind so it's more than adequate for its purpose.

sierralee

Glad you enjoyed it! I could theoretically have made Feroholm take longer to rebuild, and in fact the logic of that was why part of my brain was expecting it in the postgame. But I think this works mechanically, at least, so hopefully it will feel right.

Aris Katsaris

Where is the Impaler? Can't seem to find him.

Decanter

We'll have to disagree, I suppose.

Decanter

Tak'Kan mine interior, northeast corner.

Belly97

What is that link??

Rachnera

Nitpicks: The Stineford mine shows up in returns as the Stineford Mine Store (copy-paste of the Stineford Weapons Store just next to it?). When examining the magic circle in Feroholm, the first line by Iris overflows. The new bar talks also have similar issues spread through them. Misc: Rodak slowly getting crowded with people from various origins as we organize "international help" for it is quite cool. Out of curiosity, is the Monographed Invitation scene new or did I just miss it earlier?

DankPotatoes

Truly the Arclent hide and seek champion. When people found him in the bottom of the Tak'Kan training fields, he moved to an even more obscure location, lol

sierralee

Haha, "Stineford Mine Store" has been like that for a really long time, good job being the first to notice. I've fixed it in two different iterate events, not sure if it appears elsewhere. If the Iris line is the very first in the whole event, got it, thanks. The others should already be addressed. Unless I misunderstand which Monographed Invitation scene you mean, that's old.

Rachnera

Oh, indeed, from its position in the Reflect menu, it dates from the previous free roam. Just completely miss it at the time. I think I know why the wiki seems to have forgotten about it too: It's simply named "Wendis + Wynn" and there is another earlier scene very similarly named ("Wendis + Wynn I"). Hence much confusion.

Runcible Technician

The conversations with Orcent are becoming my favorite part of the game. It's not just the topics they discuss either, which are universally interesting, but from the craft side as well because it clearly displays Simon's viewpoint and conveys worldbuilding at the same time. Gah, it feels awkward to gush praise like this every time you update but I know quality writing when I see it.

sierralee

Oh, huh, I think I was planning to name the second one Wendis + Wynn II and then forgot.

sierralee

Yeah, and it's a bit awkward to just accept praise, but I'm truly glad that these sections are appreciated. ^-^

sierralee

Thanks for the new Wendis! This will make for a better change, I think. The illusions are meant to be intangible, though.

WaxerRed

It's almost as if he doesn't like talking to us! He and the elf hermit should hook up.

WaxerRed

Lot's of fun changes love all the little details added! Really makes exploration more fun. The few bugs I've seen have been reported already. The only other one I've seen is that Stenai doesn't play any BGM when teleporting in.

sierralee

Stenai doesn't have an BGM? I'm unsure what the issue is there. Otherwise, glad you enjoyed the new details!

Desertopa

The Fuckball encounter made me laugh, but thinking about it more, I've started to feel sorry for the succubus in charge of the stadium, and all the fans by extension. Rodak is in a tough spot right now, and for some of the citizens, Fuckball is probably one of the things that gives them an escape or sense of relief. It might be more important to the national morale right now than ever. And just when they're trying to open up to international competition, with new players fighting to make it to the top of the league, the succubus who manages the stadium is going to have to admit that she doesn't have the best prizes for them anymore. Because the Doom King took them. It makes me feel like maybe it should have been the other way around. Our party includes literal deities, kicking the Rodakans' asses at fuckball would have been unfair and humiliating, but some of our castoffs might have made epic prizes to endow the stadium with. At least if any of the competitors really like swords or something. Actually, that might have made for a really nice incentive for a certain wandering, signpost-request-solving hero to make it to the top of the league...

sierralee

Haha, you're making me feel bad for the joke characters now. The idea of a Fuckball Revitalization quest isn't bad, actually, though I wonder what form it would take. The official canon answer is that all Fuckball fanatics are so passionate about their sport that they play for the love of the game.

Decanter

And here I thought they were just gacha addicts. On the plus side, it's a rare instance of us making the Doom King do something unpopular in preparation for his eventual theoretical "death". Somewhat marred by Simon doing the dirty work though; it's Simon's face they'll remember as the face of tyranny...

Decanter

Please do not torment the hermit.

Runcible Technician

Save editor. Don't use one unless you absolutely have to know exact thresholds.

Elena Tyler

WHERE IS MY FUCKBALL MINIGAME? I DEMAND FUCKBALL!

sierralee

The real Fuckball was the friends we made along the way.

SantaTheHutt

"One of my fetishes is sober socioeconomic realism." Hahahahahahahaha. Truly there is nothing they can't fetishize.

So, what's the difference between the normal version and the RTP version?

Lamsey

The RTP version includes everything you need to run the game, including the assets provided by the RPG Maker engine. The normal version doesn't include those, so it has a smaller download size, but to use that version you need to do a one-time install of the RTP package for RPGM VX Ace from the below URL. https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/run-time-package
