There will be NSFW content in the main story, with Alen and Jymsar, and perhaps other characters.
New simulacrum stories will be added every 2-3 months. There will be a new simulacrum story soon, but it will only be available to Patreon supporters for 2-3 months.
I would like to thank GigaSaddle for the great VN. It is an enticing story, the characters are captivating and the world building is mind-blowing. This is backed by the gorgeous artwork. I was already a fan of GigaSaddle, but this made have a greater appreciation for his work. There some very good VN out there, but few impressed me in this way.
Although I'm eager to dive more in the story (the naughty bits too), I understand that this craft take time. I'm happy to wait. Good things like this VN should not be hurried.
At last, if GigaSaddle read this, I would like to thank you. Because of this VN I regained my interest in Digital Arts and Storytelling I thought was dead.
As soon as I can, I'll try to give this masterpiece financial support.
Heeeyyoo! So umm... Not that I'm complaining i mean, i really got addicted to this VN to the point where i haven't slept yesterday but is Alen and Jymsar romancable? 0///0
Words cannot express how much i wanna romance Jymsar >w<
Alen and Jymsar will be the only true romance-able characters, though you might get to have fun with other characters in the main story.
As far as the Simulacrum goes, lots of things can happen in there. Depending on how things go and player feedback, we might see old and new characters be featured in the future, though some characters aren't likely to be featured (so far: Harren, Gemmaborg, Chilas, Jymsar).
When I first saw Alen, I fell for him immediately. OMG! His warm smile, his reassurance, his maturity, his father-figure-like, his fur, his bearish. his arms, and his lower part (of course) I love it all. Would there be an intimate and private session with him? Please please please please make one. I do wish to have him by side, cuddling all day long. Also, the sceneries are great, evoke imagination and bring myself to the world. I give four thumbs. In the end, I just want to have Alen, thank you for making such a character. Looking forward to your update.
just to give my opinion about the Simulacrum scene. I think that in this kind of scene you need more than only one picture but they dont need to be very different. For me three pictures is a must have ( i l try not to spoil by saying it like this) : one out (before action) --> one in (during it) --> and a "coming" one (i think you know what i mean ^^) --> maybe even a out one after action but it is optional. It is only my opinion but i think it will look way better while not requirering a lot of efforts since it s basically just variations of the main picture. Great work on that update anyways ^^
I assumed the the game would have gay relationships that were built on rather than these what if scenarios that are completely unrelated. Between the bickering of the characters I don't feel that we're getting anything resembling a romance. Instead we get what if you were a whore as the game's representation of gay relationships.
The story in the Simulacrum is not going to be the only gay relationship in the game. Reamus can become involved with either Alen or Jymsar. Pervader mainly revolves around the plot of Reamus' affliction, while romance is a B-plot. Much of the early game deals with learning about the world and getting to know Alen and Jymsar, before leaping into their intimate stories. After the next story update, there will be more direct romance signaling between Reamus and Alen/Jymsar.
Hey there! Excited to play the new update but I can't seem to find my save files to back them up. I am using Mac and tried with the package contents but can't seem to locate them. Anyone knows where they are?
If you get creative and know how to create links from the "terminal" window you can force save games to go to apple cloud storage if you're attempting to play on multiple devices. (you'd have to create the same links on both and I don't recommend trying it if you aren't comfortable in command line)
Thanks for the tip! I used to be comfortable using Terminal but I have lost practice since I stopped studying comp. science. I will consider it though! I appreciate the support.
The worldbuilding of the story is really well done, that I can say. I also appreciate the characterization especially with characters like Harren and Jymsar.
The art is also a fresh thing to see, but I can't help but notice that in earlier parts of the story, Alen pretty much has this same expression. Either that or I am blind. The music is also really nice to hear. You can feel its ominous and eery vibes sometimes and more than often, it's calming to hear.
The writing style personally feels decent, but boring. I feel as if it would be nice if we could see a bit more showing rather than telling, though to be fair, things are different with books and visual novels.
I also find it boring how Alen becomes this info dump character who tells Reamus everything about magic. While telling the audience of info about your world is important, doing it too much may sometimes cause the readers to be bored out of it. Some of the information presented isn't even utilized properly (such as the scene about the sigils and their shapes and what they mean.) Instead of creating a captivating experience for the readers, info dumps like this often cause the story to be some quite ~interesting~ lecture instead ( or something).
As for the MC (or Reamus), though it's just my opinion, I'd like to see him characterized a bit further than the simple nice guy in the story who's interested in magic. It's nice to get to see his thoughts over on dialogue, but I hope to see Reamus of being his own unique character.
These are all my opinions, though. Please take it all with a grain of salt, but I also hope it helps a bit.
This story is amazing! I love how well it flows so far and how fleshed out this world is. Also, Jymsar is best boy, he may be a little rough around the edges, but I have a feeling he's going to come around to magic eventually. Excited for the next update to see if the gang gets a dagger or has to go to Tinderhall (I think that's how you spell it, sorry if it's not) to get one.
Hi! I read this story on my live streams and my audience and I adore it :3. I'm such a huge fan of how well everything is written. I also don't know what to expect from this story, and I like that! The relationship development between the characters always feels so organic too, never contrived. I'm so excited for the next update!
Hope you are taking care of yourself and not get too overworked! Especially handling both the writing and the art.
No rushes to update! Good things take time, and sometimes good things have to take a back seat when other things cannot wait.
I'm hoping there will be a gallery function in future when the CGs are unlocked. Would love to be able to conveniently pick shots of handsome men in various states of undress, to gawk at. And I'm hoping there will be lots of of those eventually.
I don't comment often however I do want to say this. The world building that is going on is amazing. The magic system from what it has been reveled might be in my top ten favorites. with that said, I am a sucker for worlds with interesting magic systems. I'm very excited to see where the story does.
Cuando saldrá el juego en español es que me gusta bastante la historia, pero es difícil traducirlo en el traductor Google y casi siempre me pierdo pls en español
Hi, I'm liking the story so far. :) I noticed you wrote about Alen & Jymsar sprites needing more attention. I don't know if you're already done with that / how much you're changing them, but I figured I could make a suggestion of some minor edits for Jymsar:
Basically, in the current art his shoulders are a bit asymmetrical, and the nose&eyes are rotated different ways, making his head feel slightly warped. And finally, the left cheek is more pointed and forward than his right cheek.
Sorry for the unsolicited comment - the art is great already, better than what I can draw. :) Feel free to disregard my comment if you disagree, it's just my subjective opinion.
Hmm you're right, my face change does make it more human-ish, probably a bit too much. I still think there's something slightly odd going on with the face, as if he's tilting his head a little, but his snout isnt tilted with his head.
Maybe something like this? I tried keeping puma-like proportions while still trying to make all his head-parts have the same rotation.
The symmetrical anchor marked in pink (his upper shoulders) is by far the most obvious outlier, and the only one I'd suggest is an 'error', the rest could very well be stylistic choice.
Another thing I just noticed is that his hair tuft goes over what we see as his left eye, making me see it as an eyebrow. It makes the face look a little more asymmetrical than it is...
Worth noticing that Im only reacting to this facial asymmetry on this 'sorta sad' expression - the smiling/laughing face looks great. Im just nitpicking this specific one because it's used a lot.

is NSFW only in Simulacrum or not cause I feel like Simulacrums are side stories and if it is so then how many and any new ones coming in the future?
There will be NSFW content in the main story, with Alen and Jymsar, and perhaps other characters.

Thank you! Very kind words, and I'm very happy that I managed to inspire you.
Heeeyyoo! So umm... Not that I'm complaining i mean, i really got addicted to this VN to the point where i haven't slept yesterday but is Alen and Jymsar romancable? 0///0
Words cannot express how much i wanna romance Jymsar >w<
Then you will be pleased to learn that you can romance either Alen or Jymsar.
Ooooooh, thank you sooo much !! I just can't wait to truly engage in both their routes (NSFW contents <3 )
Also, will Alen and Jymsar be the only romance-able characters ? And do you think that more characters will show up in the Simulacrum ?
Alen and Jymsar will be the only true romance-able characters, though you might get to have fun with other characters in the main story.

Fellow anatole simps rise up!
(Do you reckon we'll see simulacrum content for him or not?)
Probably! There is a scenario I have in mind for him which might be added retroactively to the events of Vale Gheryon.
haha! I was just about to type about how much I loved him x3
Where can I find the save files on Windows?
Should be here:
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Pervader

You will get to know Alen very closely over the next several updates. He might even show up in the simulacrum...
Oh, sweet. I hope he will be. (Desperately hoping)
Huck is hot, I thought he would also be doing stuff in the simulacrum...Oh well Jonah is fine.
We might see more of Huck in the simulacrum at some point.
Oh that's going to be nice haha
bruh can't download with itchio application xd
Updateeeeeeeee
Hopefully this will get a update soon. Hopefully not too long from now.
Got an update
Thank you so much for the game hope to see the continuation.
Of course! We still have a lot of story left to go through, so don't you worry.

Loved this update! It's a shame we won't be seeing any nsfw content in the main story though.
Has GigaSaddle approved this? Are you sure about this?
We will have NSFW content in the main story, but it's quite a bit later on down the line.
That was a fantastic update! I'm hyped for future ones!
Seems that I can't download the new update.
Can you explain in more detail?
Not sure if a link/screenshot will work here, but this is what I see when trying to install after not being able to update it

This might be an issue with the itch app. Other people seem to have encountered the same error on other pages: https://itch.io/t/960739/cannot-read-property-build-of-undefined-issue

Worked for me. Thanks!

I don't use a Mac, so my knowledge is limited. Your save files should be in
RenPy was the keyword! Had some trouble finding the Pervader folder through search bar. Thanks!
Congrats on your writing btw. I enjoy it a lot!
Thank you!

Jymsar's dad 🥴🥴
This update will satisfy you🥴🥴
So....who the romance option. Also is this a high fantasy with fairies and magic books or is it low fantasy
The bear and the black leopard are the romance options.
Pervader has a bit of high fantasy and a bit of magical realism.
fingers triple crossed for a weekend update
Update 0.5 is currently live for Patrons. It will be released to the public this Sunday.
You have no idea how hype i am now!
My thoughts and criticisms
The worldbuilding of the story is really well done, that I can say. I also appreciate the characterization especially with characters like Harren and Jymsar.

Also more pics of reamus please thanks jk
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback!
It's been a "few" days and nothing. Is there a delay or something?
Clearly. It would be nice if Gigasaddle gave us something though :(
Soon
will there be an option to skip the nsfw parts?
or are they integral to the plot if they are i assume they will have an image can there be an option to hide said image
The new NSFW content will be completely optional side content.
i really want the nsfw bc of reason..
I like your pic
its not mine tho, i stole it..
Who will get the nsfw scene?
any news?
Not me neglecting my homework to wait on these novels😩
I literally check this everyday once or twice hoping the new nsfw update is already out.
Me too!
Yuh!
sfw or nah?
Funny you should ask.
SFW right now, but there will be NSFW content in the next update.
I kinda want to see what Jymsar would look like in the sheets.
You'll have to wait a while longer for that.
This story is amazing! I love how well it flows so far and how fleshed out this world is. Also, Jymsar is best boy, he may be a little rough around the edges, but I have a feeling he's going to come around to magic eventually.

What can I say? I'm a bit of a perv for these Pervaders, myself.
Early January should be good.
Still fingers crossed for a Christmas update :3
Sorry, not yet!
I'm so desperate for the next update, like I'm literally dying!!! Anyhow, as you can tell I enjoy the VN very much <3
aw that sucks, well anyways, merry christmas Giga!
I don't comment often however I do want to say this. The world building that is going on is amazing. The magic system from what it has been reveled might be in my top ten favorites. with that said, I am a sucker for worlds with interesting magic systems. I'm very excited to see where the story does.
oh two other notes. Anatole, is adorable. <3 and I love the music
So will the romance bits come in build 5 or 6?
Nope, after that
Alright thanks
Cuando saldrá el juego en español es que me gusta bastante la historia, pero es difícil traducirlo en el traductor Google y casi siempre me pierdo pls en español
Will there be an update this month?
Maybe...
I'd like to get it out for Chirstmas, but we'll see
Alrighty! No worries :)
