February Report
Added 2021-02-23 16:44:09 +0000 UTC
Ok, maybe I will take it from here.
As I mentioned before, this month will not have an update, as there is much to do and February would just not be enough for me to finish all the things. Right now the code is one big mess and while I managed to finish part of the stuff I had in mind, there is still a lot to do. And then go through all the files to apply all the changes that will otherwise break the game.
As you've already seen I'm changing the way dialogues are presented. It will show more of the actual character without covering so much of a background with a wooden frame. Just don't stare at Logan for too long or he will get angry.
All old dungeons are now working in a new system, exploring them will be the same as in the Munbury Complex, which should make moving around them much smoother. Also I took the chance to add one additional dungeon : Wolves Den.
The werewolf event will progress a little bit differently. Not much changes there, but now you will have to roam around the place to actually find your werewolf friends. That includes searching for Caleb when Bernard is accompanying you. As you can see in the example if someone is with you his portrait will appear in the middle of the frame on the right - you can click on it for a small dialogue. It's not doing anything, just a flavor text and a small reminder you are not alone.
The rest of the changes is mostly in code to make things work better and in an easier way. You will see a ton of changes in the screens. There are stuff I wanted to implement for a long time, but there are also things that were suggested by people and I decided to implement them. Thanks for all your input and ideas, no matter if I used it or not, it's always helpful to know how people view certain matters.
Let's go with icons for items. A lot of them don't have an icon yet, so it will be a temporary picture for now. I hope to fill them all sooner or later. That's how the bag will look from now on (And a reminder, things may still change, so stuff I'm showing is still not final):
As you can see I also implemented another feature: quick slot. You can add up to three items you use most often in battle to have them always on display (they can also be used by pressing a keyboard key).
With that we will move to the battle screen itself, which changed slightly as well.
Besides for the quick slots, there are some new buttons. Loadout will allow you to change equipment during the fight in case you want to wield a different weapon for a particular fight. Defend works mostly as a wait action, but it will increase your defense, making the opponent's next attack less effective. I'm still keeping the wait button to have even numbers of buttons.
Using items in a fight has a new look as well. With an option to sort items by certain categories (healing, curing statuses, offensive items, buffing items).
A lot of screens that were displaying items will change, because of the icons. Another one that is mostly done is a crafting screen. The button to craft is now bigger, I also added a reset button that clears all the slots with one click.
The ingredients that you are lacking are now shown in red, so you can see right away that you won't be able to craft a certain item (If you have one berry and the recipes require two or more it will still not be red, so take that into consideration. I may find a way to work around that, but I'm not sure yet). You also can see how many of the crafted items you already have in the bag, without having to go to the other screen to check it there.
And while we talk about ingredients.
If you find an ingredient or meet an enemy in a certain zone now you will be able to see those information on the map. Just hover the location you are interested in and you will see detailed information about it. That also works with additional stuff like bandit's morale or lizard's corruption (You won't have to be exactly on that location to see it, just hovering will be enough, so it is still easier to access).
The character creation screen is also slightly different. There will be a new stat, I'm still working on what will influence what but charisma will be mostly used when you want to convince someone or grab their attention, it will also change the shop prices and change the max amount of libido (instead of int).
I also divided position and role, as some people were complaining about it. I can't promise how many old scenes will be taking into consideration that change. I will try to go through all of them and adjust them, but it may require more time so I may do it later with next updates. I will be paying attention to it in new scenes for sure though.
What you can also do is to lock certain stats (orientation, position, role). If you don't want any of them to change during the game, you can lock it and it will remain unchanged no matter your choices. It will be still available to change that option in game.
The last thing I have to share right now is about quests. You could always take only one at a time... but no more. Now you can have as many active quests as you want (Hopefully it won't break anything :D).
Completed quests tab stores all the quests you have already finished. It works like it used to before when you could see all finished quests. The only new thing is you can see more detailed information instead of just the name of the quest.
Event log is also like it used to be. You can check the progress or what to do with the most important events in the game.
Active quests is a new addition, it shows you what quests you currently have taken. If you want to abort any, you can do it after going into details of a said quest. The "+" button is marking that quest which will give you an easier access to information on the main screen.
And that's all I've got for you. There is still much to do. I can't say how much new content I will add at the end of the march, cause I'm not exactly sure how long I will be still working on all the other changes I have in mind.
All equip items will have different stats and the fight will work slightly differently, also I want to give an option to 'enchant' weapons and give them specific additions. As you are a herbalist it shouldn't be weird to use the specific you make on the blade you are using. Also bows and shields! I'm in the middle of working on that, which includes changing the equipment screen as well. There's also a plan to make a relation screen different with an additional log that will help you progress the npc's stories. Some other adjustments here and there as well.
Once again sorry it will take me two months and I won't be able to post an actual update in February, but I hope it will be worth waiting at the end.

Its The Crow
2021-03-20 22:00:12 +0000 UTCNewest update tends to be released on the last Saturday of the Month, however since this is a major change to the game it could be delayed a bit longer
Its The Crow

Alex booth

2021-03-15 22:13:07 +0000 UTCholy hell these changes look amazing i was originally a bit miffed about starting from scratch but with these changes and updates it is so worth it and i really appreciate the orinetation, position and role options and locks makes the game feel much more friendly for us fully vers people XD
Damien
2021-03-15 16:37:02 +0000 UTCthank you
Alex booth
2021-03-15 05:52:24 +0000 UTCSo Spoilers ahead, but to find the farmstead you need to free Korg from the succubus in the caves (It will be near the river bank), then after a bit it will be occupied by another person, someone needs to satisfy the succubus's sexual appetite, easiest way is the half horse dude in Bareshade. After that you can find your way to the farmstead through the underground. I don't recall it being important to anyone elses stories or the overall story so I think you are only missing farmstead stuff
Its The Crow
2021-03-15 02:48:04 +0000 UTChey, love the work. just recently found this game, hot and brilliant. sex and story. love it. May i ask, if you could update the guide with a lot more info with this update? also, i see something about a "farmstead" and im worried ive missed something cause i cant find it?
Alex booth

Divine Rydia
2021-03-07 13:32:33 +0000 UTCWOW! These changes are fantastic. I especially love the one for the loot and such being discovered for each zone. Honestly, with all of these QoL changes and the relationship/quest guide in game, this game is one that I hope more aspire to be like.
Tipmon
2021-02-26 22:39:18 +0000 UTCQuick question to the developer. Do you have the overall plot and gaming content already planned out? IE the start to ending for corrupt Logan and normal Logan. Or is this being develop with suggestions from patrons and others...
Alex

MaelstromGrim
2021-02-23 18:04:09 +0000 UTCOMG, so many changes. I wanted to do a replay of your super game some time ago but decided to wait. Looking at your screens I don't regret waiting :) One question: do you plan to have some kind of walkthrough? Few stories are hard to find/follow, for example I was never able to trigger nightmare story :( I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any way, waiting for the next update :)
Randiel
2021-02-23 17:56:30 +0000 UTCAll I can think about now is all my beloved husbandos naked with the larger model, OOF... be still my beating loins! Jokes aside, all these changes look awesome and I will gladly wait for the changes! Thank you for all you do! In the mean time, maybe I'll have enough time to get a computer that can run it and no be stuck using the android version.

2021-02-23 17:54:38 +0000 UTCAMAZING I CAN'T WAIT!
Bloodmage77
2021-02-23 17:51:31 +0000 UTCThis is very impressive. You should be very proud, you've come a long way.
2021-02-23 17:48:29 +0000 UTCOh my god the changes look amazing thank you so much for the work. One suggestion tho if you will: can you add empty hearts to romance options so we can know how much we can do in term of romancing someone, like 4 empty hearts in the beginning for Bernard and progresses as we go. And characters that has only been developed recently would got fewer hearts and if their arc got picked up you could add more empty hearts in. Other than that once again thank you for this wonderful game.
Bagarete
2021-02-23 17:47:44 +0000 UTCThis is a huge QoL change! Besides the new things happening i'm very happy you expand on the UI along with the keyboard movements and so on, huge thanks on that part. Itchy trigger fingers get tired sometimes ;)
2021-02-23 17:45:52 +0000 UTCYou were not joking when You said we can expect completly new LD at the end of march, the changes looks amazing!
Frey
2021-02-23 17:44:22 +0000 UTCI’m so excited for all this changes so fuck my save file, I want to relive everything!! The new enchanting feature sounds awesome and heck yeah to the wolf den! Locking myself as vers top so Corrupt!Logan can still feel in charge as his hole takes what it wants from me <3
Diomedez
2021-02-23 17:24:44 +0000 UTCThe new updates is so beautiful nice work Hyao !
2021-02-23 17:23:06 +0000 UTCit looks awesome, and to be honest it's a good excuse to play it again
Marcos Gerardo Calderon Miranda
2021-02-23 17:21:27 +0000 UTCIt looks great! It is beautiful all the work and the visual changes are super, several systems that were somewhat expensive to see and understand are more simplified, I congratulate you for the great improvement! Do not worry about the saved games, it's a great opportunity for many of you start, a separate question, do you think you get to allow for help in the future to translate the game?
Drionyx Dar Bahamut
2021-02-23 17:16:38 +0000 UTCCan we use defend/wait to trigger grapple attacks? They are hard for me to get even with 1agi and a ton of lust/health. Also, gender change mid game? This way you can see all scenes without a second save. Definitely more enemy encounters/scenes for non-humanoids
Dragon King Development
2021-02-23 17:13:01 +0000 UTCOmg this is amazing 🤩🤯🥳
Bov
2021-02-23 17:12:24 +0000 UTCHyao, THIS LOOKS AMAZING! I'm looking forward to the new update in March! In my opinion replaying the game with the new UI from the beginning will be refreshing and a plus! Ganbatte!
Beefball
2021-02-23 17:11:37 +0000 UTCSo many great quality of life changes! This project has really come a long way. It's looking great!
Jeddek
2021-02-23 17:10:28 +0000 UTCLove these updates! RIP my save but gives me a chance to replay everything and the interface looks so polished! Excited as always <3
2021-02-23 17:09:49 +0000 UTCI like the UI. So renewal and good. :)
Rome Win
2021-02-23 17:08:36 +0000 UTChype! Hype!! HYPE!!! You take your time darling and make sure you get everything ya need done especially the art done, want to see all the different types of ingredients and potions as I can. Sure saves will be missed... but on the bright side since we can take on multiple quest it won’t be that hard to complete them. May your code be ever true till next update. ❤️
jaquane patterson
2021-02-23 17:01:10 +0000 UTCGreat changes especially the "you found an ingredient here" one
2021-02-23 16:54:10 +0000 UTCplease try to make the saves work :( i have 500+ days in the game with a lot of progress. playing the game over isn’t something i’m willing to do as a university student that doesn’t have a lot if time to play everything all over again :(((( love your works and thanks to you and ZoroJ for the amazing art <3.
2021-02-23 16:53:54 +0000 UTCWow! These changes are going to make this already great game so much better, and take your time! You don't have to worry about rushing anything.
2021-02-23 16:50:07 +0000 UTCWaow! This New interface makes the game look as good as new. I will definitely not miss the old alchemy screen (with all due respect).
Kernog
2021-02-23 16:48:36 +0000 UTCWow! So many wonderful changes coming! I hope you can get it all working stable :) Thanks for all the hard work and caving to my complaining <3
