ℹ Careful here! this is yet an early pilot project!

⭐A first tip

Activate the Debug mode when needed 🤩

You may ask Boo, from the Player menu, he's Vivian advisor and will provide some interesting information and quests to get started.

Under settings, there'is a debug option. Try it every time you feel lost, since the game might seem confusing until I finish building the foundations of the project.

⭐Time to hunt the kuns!

There are some green imps roaming in the Secret Garden, they are your first milestone in the game, since you need to rebuild a couple rooms with their help to progress.

As soon as you stomp and tease some of them, they are yours to stomp at will, and you will be able to unlock new rooms and gather more materials as their numbers grow.

ℹ Focus on the dungeons and the workshops! 😉

You need to tease them in the Secret Garden, as you watch them work, they will give you materials to rebuild the dungeons and the workshops.

Iron, Stone and Wood, are the basic items. Just keep bothering the kuns to get enough materials. You can see how many units you need of each every time you attempt to open a locked room in the tower.

When you have some wood, you can also restore the boat close to the tower, which will provide you access to the main land.

Then, you can start looking for Alraune, she will come across Vivian's way to deal with her.

ℹ Dealing means allowing her doing all the way on Vivian 😉 Pass the action gauge test, or you will have to struggle with her, and she's not easy at all. Yes, pass the action gauge first!! 👀

ℹ Alraune is roaming somewhere in the Secret Garden, your playground with the monster-girls. She will appear as you progress with the building of some rooms on the tower. Climb up a vine besides a waterfall, and you might find her there waiting for you.

When you have her ready, you can try hunting some foes next!

This is yet an early access map of the zones, but it will work for now to set the first hunting zones 😉🍺 Yeah! hunting zones!! 💚 Sounds sweet 😙🎵

• North Pink Area: Mothgirls

• Purple Areas: (smaller, almost pink, sorry not a good color layer) Myconids

• Yellow Areas: Hornets

• Green Areas: Ivy Maidens

• Blue Areas: Slimes

• Brown/Orange Areas: Dryads/Treants

• Cyan small area on the east quadrant: Lamias

ℹ This is the Hireling manager: Select your hub first, home or party, then a bottom set of commands will pop up, to select wether to move them (join or disband) or remove them from the list (kick them out forever).

As soon as Alraune is working for you, you will be able to join to home the monster-girl foes, just after you submit them.

Meet Alraune in the central area of the Garden, there you may ask her to manage your minions from home to party, and reverse.

When you join some minions, you can travel safer through the surrounding lands.

Difficulty is not yet balanced, so you may find easy encounters with the foes, but hard battles with spawning monster-girls. I totally recommend not fighting alraune while Vivian has no spells nor a decent level.

⭐Workshops

The kuns will work for Vivian, gathering more materials and storing them in the workshop's warehouse. You may need to upgrade often the rooms to increase the capability, is not yet a finished feature, but you may handle it easy by talking with the main kun in the room, or simply activating the debug mode.

⭐Dungeons

Perfect place to equip with Vivian's favourite furniture. Let's get started with a chair, and take some prisoners from our trips. We may need specially some guards, since the first guard will become your DungeonMaster. She will spawn as you convert the first guard, and will become the manager of the dungeons to PURCHASE UPGRADES!

Capture more foes duging your trips to the main land and you will be able to interrogate them in the dungeons.

Upgrade the room with the Wall of Tickling (WOT), the stocks and the cross. Two more devices will come next!

Meanwhile, you may enjoy watching Vivian trying her toys!

💗She's such a Mistress!!

Don't miss out the TT stages! There are 3 stages plus an extra to add special variations for her games 😉 Same for the guests!

⭐Treasury

As you unlock the upper floors you may eventually find a Mimic guarding a special room. Here's the Treasury, to save and keep all the spoils!

Vivian will be able to drop here all her coins, plus convert all her valuable treasures: Jewels, precious metals ... and who knows... more to come!

The more wealthy, the betterl so she can unlock next more cozy features for her home 😚

⭐ Libraries and Laboratory

As soon as you "convince" some magician to join the crew, these will go to the laboratories and library rooms. They need some kuns and materials to be unlocked, and next you may activate the debug mode to roam around and try the librarian and the alchemist, they will provide some extra upgrades to Vivian.

ℹ Since Vivian has lost her magic skills, she needs to build back a skill tree, but this time, won't evolve as she levels up, she can STEAL and LEARN the new spells from their prisoners, and teasing her librarians!! Also bringing special scrolls which will be an usual item to gather from the magicians and general looting.

So, what's done so far?

The game stills being a pilot project, which I had in mind to try to implement the Side View tactical rpg battles. Now I have been able to manage a dynamic party membership and random unit generation, the monster girl hunting feature will become another interesting objective in the gameplay, both for collecting foes, and increase the force to strike on big armies.

There are yet some important challenges ahead, and some UI modifications needed. You may find it out as you join too many minions in the party and try to struggle with any enemy troop. The user interface needs a refactor for those big parties.

Plus, there are more rooms and more contents to unlock for each, and yet we are working with the remaining dungeon devices and some system to randomize among several prisoner variants. The animation engine may help a lot here, but I still have to complete few more adjustments to be able to select different guests to enjoy our services 😙

Also, we have introduced a small short story at the beginning, which will eventually open up to 4 main chapters to take over the lands, but focusing on exploring and sandboxing, with no linear development.

All the extensions we have been crafting for Amirian are now a great deal here, no other way we could start with this new project 💪🏼

Along the last two weeks I worked hard to restore the game to this playable status, and clean up the desktop to get hands down the next animations to come, to give Vivian her deserved performance 😏

Now, let's get that update for Amirian Curse!😁

💚Thanks for being there one more month, Kuns!🍺
