Update to comment [Urgent]

The entire gallery is unlocked on 1.3.0. This doesn't happen on the android version, only Windows. It fixes itself if I delete "file1.rpgsave". May want to fix this? I think this is supossed to be a patreon reward but you gave it for free by accident

-----------------------------------------------------

Love this game, it's a great game, I had only found a few issues and I want to share them since you were asking for feedback on the Patreon post. This is only for 1.2.

The apk took 4 or more GB of ram total. Somehow my phone didn't overheat. I ended up going for the pc version and then using steamlink. It also drained my battery a lot more quickly than other apps, but I have inaccurate stats for this. Phone is H918(LG V20), I'll let you know if this happens to me on my SM-A908B(Galaxy A90) on the new version (1.3.0)

The game is too easy, you can get really op as you play (I am not grinding). Haven't used potions, my mana gets full after I use any spell (infinite). The only way I lose is if they seal my skills. You are probably only going to need a potion on the first or second place that has enemies (also, the battle against desert woman).
- I guess keeping the game easy could help players get whatever they want, but I like difficulty in games, I like losing and getting the sex scenes because I failed (Instead of because I made myself lose, making myself lose feels lame to me and it removes the immersion). Maybe a way to change difficulty, give more health to enemies and make stats not op (infinite mana??? what) would help. I did go full on magic enchantments, but come on, there's no way I won't enchant a weapon to something other than magic (maybe a charm, the crystal thing, but that came before the weapon). Currently I am just going to start over and lock myself from using some things that kept me alive, even by doing this I am afraid the game could become too easy as I progress

Some minor spelling mistakes, I wish I took screenshots, I am going to on my next run
Some settings reset after you restart the game, you probably know this. I believe the watch h scenes you had already seen setting, and also the watch the long h scenes setting. These get reset in 1.2.5, on both pc and android versions
Special controls doc can be shortened by a lot
- It talks about way older versions at times, maybe it's ok to talk about old versions for people coming back to it, but probably not once they are too old.
- Personally I think removing most of it, including the talk about previous versions, may be better. Just jump into telling people about the features and controls that they may not know about, straight to the point.
- I still like the doc, just that, it may be good to shorten it so more people are willing to read it

I feel like there's more, I spent some time trying to remember but I couldn't. Also, don't take this too harshly, the game is great, I tell my friends about it but they are not really interested in porn games (They always assume that everything I give them is a virus, or that it's the classic cheap porn game. Come on I only play the good stuff) I am not going to demand things for free, if you don't want to take some of my feedback then don't, it doesn't bother me. These are just things that would make the game more fun and enjoyable for me. Hope this helps and I may bring a lot more feedback next time.

Also, is there anything you will be missing out on if your slut level is higher than 5 or by making some of the choices that are prompted in some events?

Thanks for the heads-up and for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. I'm always happy to see players care enough for the game to share their thoughts about it.

I've already fixed the issue with existing saves in the default game pack. This should have never happened in the first place but looks like I didn't clear it after hotfixing another issue. This directly lead to point 4 of your list. Let's get through it top to bottom.

1) APK and the mobile version. I'm using a 3rd party packer for apks since default RPG Maker doesn't have this option from the box. The last version takes up 1.5 GB on my phone, not counting the apk for the install and I'm not sure why it gets 4 GB on yours.

The only advice I can give is to go for the desktop version if the mobile one doesn't meet your expectations. Since I'm a solo developer juggling real life with the gamedev, I can't learn and tackle all the fields. Mobile dev is not my chosen field and I made only after players requested it.

2) The difficulty is a tricky feature. You won't believe the amount of feedback where players find the game too hard to play or forced to grind a lot of levels before they can proceed with the story even at the current state of the game.

So, I'm quite reluctant to increase the difficulty, though I perfectly understand what are you talking about. I too prefer harder games like Dark Souls series, Blasphemous, etc. Yet these are not for everyone.

3) I'm not a native English speaker and mistakes do happen. While I proof-read all the texts some of them can duck under the radar. Send any errors you'll find (with a bit of info where did you encounter them) in the game and I'll look into these issues.

4) The save files from the default config affected your settings. This shouldn't happen if the game is shipped without existing save files just as it was planned. Sorry for the trouble.

5) Yes, the FAQ file was written part by part once the new feature got in Yorna. I'll see about tidying it up once I'll get the time.

Lewd level 5 is the maximum level where Ada counts as pure so you won't miss anything if you decide to reduce from a higher value

The last version takes up 1.5 GB on my phone.

I am talking about ram though(memory). The apk is still a nice temporary solution, you gotta do with what you got. Don't worry about it, it's probably better to deal with it once the game is fully finished if you don't have the time or skill to do it now.

Spelling mistakes do happen, esl, send any errors you'll find

Alright, I'll take screenshots and all.

The save files from the default config affected your settings. Sorry for the trouble.

It's all good. I am still having this issue though after downloading the game again and running it, 1.3.0, this was happening on 1.2.5. I don't think this is related to the "Unlocked Gallery" incident (since that only happened on 1.3.0 prior to your recent update, it didn't happen on 1.2.5)

I'll see about tidying it up once I'll get the time.

Sounds great

You won't miss anything if you decide to reduce your lewd level

Glad to hear that, thank you

The difficulty is a tricky feature.

A way to choose the difficulty may help in the future then. I am not really asking for dark souls levels of difficulty (that would be nice though), I just find it bad that you can become unstoppable in this game, it's impossible for me to lose with infinite mp and "three bars of health" (I can use the healing skill and get that health back in an instant, at this point I can only die by being careless). MP Regen is the main issue here

Difficulty is not easy to figure out in games, it's like hitting a bullseye, I would say, spend some time during development trying to figure it out. Just play with it a little. Play in one of the areas (preferably the later ones) give yourself some items, and then try to clear it. Do it until you think the difficulty is right, and then having some people try it may help too (maybe a patreon tier?) that way you get feedback until you have everything just right. I also suggest having them give feedback individually instead of as a group, that way their opinions are not influenced, and those that think it's too hard/too easy won't feel afraid to say it.

I am afraid this may be inconsistent depending on what path you choose (Flexible, magician, average, warrior), if this is inconsistent then a system that increases difficulty in enemies may help (but cap it and only increase it slightly, so people can grind a little bit if they think the game is too hard)

(again, sorry for the long comment)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'll think about it but as I mentioned before, all players have their own preferences in the difficulty department. Difficulty options may in theory fix this but will require at least x3 time for the balancing work. It's simply not viable for a solo dev.

Mainly, people play H games for H content and not challenging gameplay. I would rather focus on other aspects.

I understand [Edit: Actually, I didn't, just barely, but a day later and now I do, lel, I guess I was distracted. Shame people find this game difficulty, I mean, it is a bit difficult in the first sections at least though)

Did you take note of the issue of the settings not being saved? Watched scenes and h scene lenght?

Yeehaw Games3 years ago(+1)

Yes, I did. I addressed this issue in the first response - you will be able to test it out on the next version.
