How was Chapter 8?
Added 2024-10-31 21:00:17 +0000 UTCI promised a post and I shall not disappoint!! (Though is it technically "tomorrow" if I uploaded the new chapter at midnight? Who's to say?)
For those of you who haven't been around for past chapter early releases, here's usually where people can give their thoughts on how the new chapter was!! Though, I guess now you can also do that in the chat if you wanna, but here's for more detailed thoughts. This one's a lot more ""normal"" than Chapter 7 was, so lemme know what you guys think!!

I'm late too, but here I am after following the game's releases since the very beginning but today i'm a new member of the patreon ^^ What a journey it is ! I was reluctant at the beginning of the game but the more chapters came by and the more i've grown attached to the universe ! Concerning chapter 8 i'm impressed about how much emotion is put into it. The little details and the narration are good to me, even that Cherry part was welcome ! It's a bit of a bummer the chapter ends right after the wisp boss since it means i'll have to fight it again next time. The difficulty overall was pretty... interesting. Wisps and skulls having the ability to make a character sleep is an interesting mechanic but when the stunned character is hit, they immediately wake up (not that i'm complaining, it's a free turn I guess). Where i complain is about the boss fight, the stuns + sleep spells were difficult to manage (defeated it first try tho... so maybe i'm just getting annoying). Last complain, difficulty in the cherry section. The dual enemies hit too hard, but again maybe that's on me for not wanting to waste a potion on her (those are costly). For what I liked a lot is the teasing of the girls wanting to eat each other, i'm a sucker for those ! Gameplay wise the exploration was pretty cool and I didn't feel like the game was wasting time so that's a very good plus. The pacing is fine to me The chapter was so fun I thought to myself "damn, this is a short chapter !" but having a double take on it, it wasn't. It was just that good ! I know i'm VERY late but I hope the next chapters take the stakes up a notch. Not in terms of difficulty because i think the battles were challenging enough but storywise. I'm really hoping for vore taking a major turn in what's coming. Welp, gonna explore everything I missed here. I should have joined earlier ! Thanks for the work, team !

2025-02-05 21:11:58 +0000 UTCOmg thank you so much!! Thanks for taking the time to write all this haha, it really means a lot!! Getting Mitzi's character right has been a big focus of mine haha, all three of the main gals have their own stuff going on but Mitzi's story is definitely the one with the most twists and turns lol. (In a way, the last four chapters have all been about her haha) I'm also really glad all the stuffing and vore scenes worked for you!! I'm always worried that if I go too long without a good one, it's gonna make the game boring but then I also worry that adding in a fetish scene might ruin the pacing haha, so it's a constant balancing act!! That's part of the reason I'm really excited to work on the sidequest update- since those aren't directly connected to the story, I can be a little less grounded with the belly scenes there haha. Combat is always a tricky thing to balance (and honestly I probably need to do some more testing now that there's a party of three) so that's definitely something I'm working on!! Also haha I appreciate your confidence in my musical abilities but that's the official accoustic version of Creep done by Radiohead lol. It was used in Guardians of the Galaxy 3, actually! (And fun fact- that movie was a HUGE inspiration for the directions I've ended up taking Mitzi as a character haha)

2024-11-25 05:25:13 +0000 UTClatecomer to these replies since i only just had the chance to sit down and close out the chapter but just echoing the sentiments of everyone else here, thoroughly enjoyed the chapter with at most incredibly minor nitpick type gripes. mitzi's formal introduction to the party proper felt well built and earned and i appreciate that she still maintains a bit of the same sort of antagonistic dynamic with naomi and renee, even if it's in a more lighthearted manner now--i was prepared to lose out on their unique chemistry when she was finally "redeemed," but happy to know you valued her jabs and ribbing too. and her still somewhat maintaining her facade of self-importance, absolutely delightful character and an easy fav for me right beside renee. stuffing and vore scenes were expertly done, huge props to yourself and seabees for these--loved renee drinking the lake and the ensuing belly bed shenanigans, naomi and mitzi's reactions really enhanced just how *gluttonous* renee has become now. this isn't even to speak of the endo scenes with the quiz skull delivering prompts from mitzi's gut, and her still just digesting it in the end--you both continue to find these scenarios that put guts front and center in a way that's both funny and compelling from a vore/wg angle (still waiting for something to match lilith delivering testimony from mitzi's gut in the last chapter though, that has to be my number one highlight so far!). of course freeing the sprites from eating the infused food and giving renee and mitzi both more character building moments and delightfully written and rendered vore scenes is just an easy way to my heart, absolutely more like this please! only minor gripe i could think of is i'm not certain about battles, but that could be on me--i feel like i'm making optimal usage of everyone's turns, having mitzi buff out renee to lay into the weakest enemy before moving on, one at a time, where naomi provides extra damage or support, but i feel like sometimes i get a "bad roll" per se and wind up getting one shot with little i can do. again though it's a super minor gripe since reloading or restarting the battles is hardly a hassle, just something i'd figured i'd mention lastly i couldn't write about all of this without asking: is that your cover of creep at the end? did you both play the guitar and sing for that? you kind of nailed it like ngl. i'd love to have that as its own upload to listen to bc it was an actual vibe

2024-11-06 00:28:41 +0000 UTCLoved Capter 8. Totally wasn't what I expected (in a good way). Honestly excited where this is going for Chapter 9 and the side stuff you have planned. Also more of the "What If's" 😊👍. Deffo 9/10 from me

2024-11-04 06:29:07 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed the update, lots of flashbacks, jokes, and bellies of course, not to mention the plots. But the fact that we can't go back to the city bothered me a bit, and the problems with old saves were quite frustrating... Other than that, you did a great job! ^-^)b

2024-11-03 03:30:34 +0000 UTCThanks a ton! Not a dealbreaker by any means but a little extra friction that seems like it should be possible to remove. And gotcha, that's unfortunate but understandable given the limitation. Entirely reasonable trade-off.

2024-11-03 02:13:28 +0000 UTCThe new movement system definitely does take some getting used to haha, but I'll see if I can change up the collisions and make it a little easier to interact with NPCS and stuff!! Also with the camera stuff- This is actually something that was present in Chapter 7 (for the areas inside buildings in New Pax, at least) as well. RPGMaker MV only allows 999 maps and by Chapter 6 I was already getting into the 600-700 range, so in order to consolidate things, I made it so that all zones using a specific tileset are located on one map instead of many separate smaller maps. I also hate that the camera scrolls to the end and you can look into the weird black void, but for the life of me I cannot find a fix for it. I think it may just have to be something we all have to put up with in exchange for the game being as long and detailed as I want it to be haha.

2024-11-03 01:17:41 +0000 UTCHaven't finished the chapter yet but it's been great so far and I'm really enjoying it. That said, I do have two issues: First and foremost, with the new movement system, the player slides off of save crystals and NPCs. You don't slide off of tiles; if I hold up and walk into a column or a gravestone or something, I stop. If I hold up and walk into a save crystal or NPC, I don't stop, I slide off to the left or right. This is really unfortunate because save crystals and NPCs are the two things you really don't want to have trouble interacting with! In the previous version I could just walk into them, but now I have to time my movement with care or else I slide off and need to reposition. If there's an option you can change to give them "square" collision like everything else, I'd really appreciate it! Second and less critically, the camera is no longer bounded by the current area. I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional? By this I mean, if I walk up to the edge of an outdoor map in a previous chapter, the camera stops scrolling once it hits the edge, so it only shows the currently loaded zone. If I walk up to the edge in this chapter, the camera keeps going and lets me see the black void surrounding the currently loaded tiles, as if it were an indoor map. This doesn't seem to be a global change in behavior; if I walk around areas from previous chapters, like New Pax City, the camera still behaves as normal. It's only in the new Glumberwood areas (e.g. the lake, the graveyard, the village) that I see the problem.

2024-11-02 07:40:00 +0000 UTCI didn't know but now that I do, rest assured this won't be my last one! So happy that you enjoyed my enjoyment of this wonderful game, including Cherry lmao. There were so many times I would go "Ayeeeeeeeee!" at what she says/does, laugh at her goober shenanigans and some times even predict what she'll say next, making me cheer to myself! So happy she got a part of the chapter all for herself, since she deserves it ;D Can't stress this enough either but you guys are doing an amazing job at Evoria! Keep it up and keep being awesome!

2024-11-02 07:03:35 +0000 UTCOh that's a very strange one haha, thanks for catching that!! It's fixed now in version 0.8.3!

2024-11-02 05:22:26 +0000 UTCOmg thank you so much!!! Since this is your first I don't know if you've ever seen me say it, but I LOVE getting long reviews like this haha, they're super helpful for getting a feel for how people enjoy the game and what worked/didn't work for them!! Plus I'm -especially- glad you liked Cherry haha, she's such a fun comic relief character to write, I wanted to give her a whole mini-dungeon for her to say and do wacky stuff lol

2024-11-02 03:04:35 +0000 UTCWith this being my first chapter review, I'll try and- HOLY SHIT I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! From the story itself, the gags, the occassional puzzle and especially the character growths (in both meanings lol) I couldn't have been more happy to play Evoria again. I even restarted with a new save file just to experience it all again with a fresh mind and I still loved every moment! Like I said, the character growths were one of my favourite parts. Now that Mitzi has a "reason" to fight with the gang, she gets a short backstory and able to redeem herself, I can't wait to see more of her with Renee and Naomi! Also, side tangent, MY GIRL CHERRY IS BACK BABY!! I no joke cheered when I saw her floating in the lake at the start of the chapter. And then I didn't even connect the dots that she had been eaten until I saw the empty tube, and then I wailed hoping Renee didn't just digest my favourite goober! Related to that btw, loved the fact we got another stomach adventure and I'm not surprised it was inside of Renee lmao. Sorry that this was so long, I just had to get it all out. If I could, I would give FOP and SeaBea a strong pat on the back for doing such amazing work on another chapter! Here's for 9 and 10 to be just as wonderful! Now, I'm off to bed because it's almost midnight and I've been playing for 14 hours straight (not counting food breaks) XD

2024-10-31 21:38:54 +0000 UTCThe chapter was great although I hope we see more of Lilith in the next update I miss the gluttonous spoiled Elf girl in this chapter.

2024-10-31 21:34:46 +0000 UTCI liked the new belly mini dungeon, though I wish that there could be more interactions with the insides apart from the buttons. The whole drinking lake is hilarious (also I hope that there could have "what if" were Mitzi is the one that ends up drinking the lake) The whole quiz is also very funny and hot. The haunted mansion part I feel that is too short... These types of scenarios usually have more content like possessions, murderous spirits, more variety of curses and wacky stuff happening. Regardless, it is a good chapter.

2024-10-31 21:25:29 +0000 UTCWell I personally loved it I felt we got some great character growth this chapter paticularly between Renee and Mitzi and they both shined this chapter and was awesome to see the characters become more and more gluttonous paticularly with Renee and the lake was absolutely Awesome! and seeing Renee and Mitzi work out there problems was great and I personally liked Mitzi's backstory flashbacks and past and I can't wait for what the future brings as it would be awesome to see the main trio gorging together and seeing them with massive belly's but I'm excited for what you have planned F.P. and SeaBea thanks again for both you hard work and dedication we are all grateful
