Anything you wanna tease or preview for the next update? I hope theres a new Cyber Space area (They're kinda my favorite~) Or another stealth based section...always fun to see Grove struggle when I cant get the timing just right~ ;)

(+1)

We've been showing off a few small teasers on our Discord server, as well as on our development twitter (https://twitter.com/regalbuster). Do take a peek if you're interested!

Sorry I can't donate anymore.  XD  I've been going through some rough shit of my own.  But I'm still 10/10 looking forward to more.

No need to apologise, any amount is greatly appreciated!

New update coming soon, so hopefully it can be something to look forward to during your own rough time!

Chin up, mate.

Thank you.  :)  I really appreciate it.  A lot.  A ton a ton.  <3  I'm looking forward to it a lot.  :D

So seeing a new update coming soon does that mean I'll take another year for the next one? Love the series and even considering monthly donation to help support its making just curious if you all are going though college or important life situations and that's the reason for the long wait time 


Also I reccomend a patreon 


Apologies if any of that comes off wrong much love 

(+2)

I'm extremely busy with work and studies irl, so GROVE is tertiary to other priorities as a whole. Most of my break has been spent on development, so you'll likely have to deal with future month-long gaps in news and updates.

We understand many players are very keen for updates and the such, and we do appreciate the enthusiasm! The game is free because we know we can't consistently provide updates, and it allows us to have a bit of wriggle room to experiment with other projects in the future in tandem with Grove. We're not opening up a Patreon as a result, as that would turn this into another job with obligations that we cannot reasonably fulfill.

Hopefully the next update will tide you and the other players over for a good while~ We might consider releasing a few interim updates between this and future versions, but that would be something we'll need to discuss internally.

thanks for the insight on the going ons regal, well if you do open a tipjar i would recomend against patreon they are rather controling sadly they got rather good name recognition... catch 22 eh? anyway offtopic a bit hows the studies go... not turned your brain into paper i hope. anyway nice to know your still alive i remember finding a dev team who actually made a visual novel i liked and thats rare only to find some of them no longer amoung us scary how that happens so suddenly.

(+2)

Just to let you know, the itch.io here IS our tip-jar! One-time donations for people who'd like to support the game are always massively welcome, but there's no obligation for anyone to do so.

We're not really interested in recurrent funding, nor the expectancies and things that come with that. We'd much rather people give what they want, as they want,, with no obligation via donation!

huh i just thought you put it here for ease of acess.

(1 edit)

Love the game just wondering once the new content comes out will i need to progress a second save to see all the content, like for example will i need a high and low corruption save or a version for each bandit option or some new thing in the new content in order to see all major scenes, versus having a backup play through the other option and that being the end of that paths new content once it recombines with the main story progression

(+1)

A bit of a multi-faceted question, so I'll break it into chunks:

You should be able to import your saves from the previous version, and we'll leave a 'save file transfer guide' in the download.

If you want to witness everything in the game, you'll need a higher corruption playthrough, yes. A few events are locked behind corruption score, and also corruption gain has its own unique moments.

As for the bandit option... well, there's mutually exclusive content for both decisions, so you'll have to pick one way or the other (or do both). We can't spoil how it will affect you in the future though, so... this decision is up to you.

Hope that answers all your questions. It's ultimately up to you if you wanna make multiple saves, but hopefully now you have the information you need to make that decision.

(+1)

thank you, but what about a low corruption save? Anything missed beyond the “you decide not to be a perv” lines there?

(+1)

There are some dialogue adjustments and things... but no substantial content or scenes at the moment, no. Remaining 'pure' will have more effects towards the end of the story, we think.

(+2)

This is one of the best NSFW games I've ever played, the characters are sexy, the scenes are hot, and the kinks featured are some of my absolute favorites

I can't wait for the next update, I'm extremely excited for more of this sexy dragon and his kinky adventures <3

(+1)

Thanks so much for the kind comments! New update coming fairly soon, so I hope that you'll continue to enjoy the game just as much, if not more!

Deleted 99 days ago

Within the engine that we're using (RPG Maker MV) there isn't an easier way for a more integrated save/load system. We'd have to look into custom made plug-ins / mods... but it's not something we've looked into too much at the moment.

Otherwise though, thank you very much for the kind and enthusiastic praise of the game! I hope that you'll continue enjoying your time with the game, and grow fond of even more characters... and maybe, just maybe, you'll see more of the folks you enjoy the most in future content~!

TW!! SPOILERS!!  



Hello there developers! I have a question that has been bugging me ever since I started playing this game. I am a sucker for how the artists of this game draw and display rubber/latex and its varieties. Ranging from the game over of becoming a rubbery drone (My favorite ending by the way) to my absolute favorite item, the rubbery jockstrap(?), I am obsessed with our dear Grover and his interaction with latex/rubber. My question is, are there any plans for more rubber/latex content in the future?

I also am curious if there are any plans in the future for our dear Grover to potentially transform/grow in any sort of way? I always enjoy it when shy fellows get big (Take that however you wish). It would also possibly be cool for any sort of goo/slime/rubber/etc that could transform our pride (*wink*) into another, like an equine's or dragons?

To sum up, I ask if there are any plans for more rubber/latex content and potential enlargement/transformation content. Thank you so much for reading my lengthy comment, and I really hope this game gets all the love it deserves, and you developers keep getting all the praise you deserve for such a fine product! Keep up the good work

 - Bittersweet State of Mind <3

There is indeed going to be more latex content in the game with the next update. I can't give you any specifics though, as I don't want to spoil things... but hopefully you'll end up enjoying what we have to show off, if it meets your expectations or ends up surprising you.

That is absolutely fantastic to hear, thank you and the development team so much! I am sure it will massively exceed my even best of dreams! Thank you so much for answering my question. 


Forgive me for asking, but is there an answer for my second question?

Sorry, but like I said, I don't want to spoil things either way... but I am quite confidant in the content we're going to be putting out!

My deepest apologies, I didn’t understand that part. In any case, I’m sure you and the development team will do amazing, as you and the team are already doing absolutely wonderful!

Thank you. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer...!

Very nice game

Thank you very much.

This may seem like a silly question but I am curious; given that it appears the game hasn't seen an update of any kind in nearly a year, after such a lengthy hiatus, when the new update does come, will it even be the same game or has the game been taken in a new direction with the original ideas lost?  I don't know what the situation is regarding this game's development history so I'm not familiar with why there was such a long hiatus.  I just know that several months ago, I played it through to its current ending point and I enjoyed it very much.  Just wasn't sure if it was ever going to see another update for awhile there.

(+9)

There's a new update coming soon, hopefully within the next 30 days.

The game that you played will still be just like you remember it, nothing is being removed or greatly adjusted. And there'll be a few more hours of new content added for you to enjoy.

Hope you can be patient for just a little while longer.

I'm stuck in the desert how do I leave

If you're in the desert, your destination is in the top-right corner, down some stairs. Make sure to walk around in the dark shady areas so you don't overheat on the way.

Heyo! I hate to do this but I am having difficulty with a certain area within the map. I'm not quite sure how to pass the 'Periphery Jungle Entrence/Upper' area. Am I missing an exit or a specific enemy I need to defeat in order to pass it? It's been boggling my noggle for a couple of hours now and I am completely lost. Any help is appreciated. I can include screenshots of the area if need be.

No specific enemies or anything you need to do, other than to find the path forward. In both cases, the way you need to go is to the top-right of the area... though of course, there's a bit of jumping and navigation in order to get there.

Just to double-check though... have you already rescued a certain somebody from the jungle? Because if so, then you are going in the wrong direction. There's a new path forward in the jungle camp area.

Hopefully this can help you out, whatever your situation may be.

Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful heh. I was so distraught to not be able to continue, but this definitely helps. I have a very bad observational eye, and any help is- well helpful heh. Again, thank you. <3

You're welcome :)

Hope that you'll find more enjoyment as you continue forward with the game!

Will the new update come out in December?

(+2)

Maybe! Late December, or early January. It depends how the next few weeks treat us. The holiday season can be very unpredictable.

Sorry for the ambiguous answer, but hopefully you can understand our situation.

Hello devs, I would like to ask one think, I have a safe file that I thought I wanted to transfer to a new update version, but the problem for me is that I forgot to talk to Kuno after rescued him, so I miss the first unlockable outfit, so I thought that I would have to start over a game to unlock everything until the next update, I don't mind it, but just want to ask, if there will be any other ways to unlock every outfit in the future updates if I miss some, I just like it when I have 100% of the game completed, BTW following your game since last year and really anxious about next update 

(+1)

We are indeed considering ways to get some of the armour sets and things you might have otherwise missed. I can't promise everything will have alternate ways to acquire it though... but Kuno's 'Ranger Gear' you'll be able to acquire later, yeah.

Thanks for following along with our game for so long. We're a little anxious about the next update too, but excited. Hopefully... you'll have something to try within the next 30 days or so...!

(+1)

My birthday is on the 4/12. And I'm rooting for the next update to be my birthday present and Christmas present for everyone who loves this game.

The game is very good, I've replayed this version several times.

A big question is what happens to the bandits if we choose to help them with the machine.

(+6)

Thanks a lot for your praise on the game. As for what's going to happen with the bandits and your decision regarding the machine... that'll unfold a little later, but we do have plans.

As for your birthday, I'm afraid I'm pretty confidant the update won't be out by the 4th of December. But we're striving for a late December / early January release. Hopefully that'll be enough of a consolation gift for you.

(1 edit)

Haha poor devs, people are holding you guys emotionally hostage now for an update,

Well it does show how much people are looking for to it! Great to hear an estimate date, and grateful for having you guys working on it, thank you guys for your work!

(+3)

Don't worry, nobody wants to get this update completed to a high standard more than us devs. It'll come when it comes, regardless of holidays and birthdays.

But yeah, that's our hopeful ETA for the update. Do make sure to +Follow us here on itch.io, RegalBuster on Twitter, or join our Discord server, so you'll know for sure when the update is coming out!

(1 edit)

Well I do follow,

Regal hasn't put this ETA on twitter, so it says "NEXT VER ETA: NO ETA",  hence why I commented with a thanks, it was news to me.

As for my remark, it was just a joke, I want the next Grove release as my Christmas present just as much as that guy wants it as his Birthday's ^^

(1 edit) (-1)

"NEXT VER ETA: SAUSAGE"

Can't believe I just got sausage'd, well who I am to deny such culinary pleasures.

it's already a big gift just for you to have made the game. Thanks! XD

Nice to meet you,dear.Thanks the author for bringing us , such a fantastic game with so inrich plots, pictures,and so many characters who are great flavor is!Even though I am from China in the far east, I still can admire the love and light form the wonderful project as a furry with you.At the short words end,once again, I offer my sincerest wishes to you. A furry who has just grown up leave it to here.

Thank you for the kind words! It is a pleasure to see people from around the world enjoying our game, including China.

best rpg gvn i have ever played,i have a crush on kino,bestie cute boy

Thanks a lot! :)

Don't forget to rate our game!

This is excellent, love all the romantic touches from enemies <3

Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much, and the tone we were going for with it!

Excellent game. Thank you very much for making it.

And thank you very much for giving it a go! Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself so much with it!

And to your comment on Kuno... heh, let's just that's a ringing endorsement of our successful character design, haha.

(+1)

I'm so torn. Kuno is adorable. I wanna wrap him up in the fluffiest blanket, but I also wanna see him absolutely wrecked by tentacles.

(+1)

I hope to see the new version by Christmas.Well,it's also my birthday.

(+4)

I just wanted to say, thank you for this wonderful game. <3 you're all amazing

(+4)

Hey, thank YOU for playing and for your kind comment! Much appreciated :)

i hope android version

(-1)

Not any time soon. If you REALLY want to play it... there's JoiPlay or MaldiVes emulators. They're playable, but they both have bugs and performance issues and they don't have our endorsement; don't complain to us if it's not an ideal experience.

Just wanted to let you know of a bug in the Mac version (0.204).  When you try to answer the question to enable/disable in-battle grapple voices you receive the attached error.

OSX: 13.0.1 (22A400)

Chip: Apple M1 Pro

(1 edit)

I believe this is a case of needing to extract the game files first, not running it directly from the archive

There should be some tutorials laying around on the internet... but I think you can just make a new folder on the desktop (call it 'GroveGame', or something along those lines), then open the original downloaded archive until you see the 'Game.app' file and the 'credits.html' file. Drag those out of the archive folder, and put it into your newly created 'GroveGame' folder

I don't think MacOS can edit files when they're archived, hence the need to extract them first and the 'read-only' mention in the error message! Let us know if the above solution works out for you.

what's the outlook on a current save working on your future update of this game

Quite confidant! I don't want to say absolutely certain, since we can never be 100% sure, but we're pretty confidant you should be able to go straight into the new content if that's your desire!

any idea on when more will be added to this lovely game

(+11)

Hopefully... HOPEFULLY... before the end of the year. Or maybe very early in the new year!

Why can't I see anything in this forest? is this an error?

(1 edit)

Means you're playing on mobile emulation most likely. The lighting plugins don't work on most of them.

do you intend to release an android version

(+2)

Not any time soon. I won't bore you with the technical details, but the game would require some fairly significant asset reworks, downgrades and compression to run well on mobile and be in a state where we can say "yes, this is a version worth playing".

If you REALLY want to play it... there's JoiPlay or MaldiVes emulators. They're playable, but they both have bugs and performance issues and they don't have our endorsement; don't complain to us if it's not an ideal experience.

How do I unlock this memory? Can anyone help me

(+1)

Equip the slimy black underwear you get from rescuing the ranger from the blue slimes. Then proceed all the way to the east / right, past the green slimes, and this scene will eventually trigger.

You can unlock it on an old save and it'll appear in your current gallery, so don't worry about playing the whole game again.

(+1)

how can I open this box

(+1)

Get your corruption to 10 or higher then poke around the wrong person's tent.

where is the wrong person's tent?

Eventually the Auxillary division will set up in the top left of the village look around there until you find the tent you get shouted at for looking in.

Can you take a picture of the location and show me?

(1 edit)

The top picture is how to get there (Grove is on the far left of the screen), bottom picture is the place you need to look around

(+1)

just finished the latest part of the story, how do I get all the oddities and the last armor set and whatever it is that goes into the personal storage space? (I only got the bun and idk how haha)

(+1)

Check out this wonderful fan-made guide! It'll help you find all the things you missed:

https://qazm.itch.io/a-grove-timeline

thank u!

(-3)

Can someone please upload a video of all the sex scenes? I couldn't find any on p*rnhub or Xvideos🤔

(+1)(-1)

I love desigh charater game

I'm stuck at Northern Gulch, pls help

If you've reached the north and can't proceed any further, that means you need to go somewhere else.

The game should have teleported you back to the inn. It should have also said a message that you can't go further... and that your new path should be to the south...

But if you somehow missed ALL of that... start from outside the inn. Go down as far as you can. Then go all the way left. All the way out to the cliffside. And at the cliffside, you can go even further south / down.

Anyone got some tips? I'm stuck on a few.


This memory shows a particular slimy green cast... close to a certain forge.

You find yourself entering a western path... and pestering a newcomer and his tent. Suddenly your corruption flares up...

Anyone know these ones?

For the first, you want to get a slime slab from the green slime dragons in the cave. You can do that by letting them grapple you to completion when you have more than 50 STM, and then using the nearby fire...

Take the slime slab back to the wizard at the inn, ask about "oddity", there'll be a scene... and then the slime cast will appear at the blacksmith's place. Interact with it... and the scene will play out.


The second one requires having 10 or more Corruption. You can raise this by getting slimesuited by the slime dragons, just make sure to recover after each one.

Once you have that amount... go to the campsite to the west / left of the inn, and try repeatedly to enter the tent...!

I know i'm a little late but, i'm also struggling getting that second one to work, does this need to happen at a certain point in the game? or can you get it after you finish it?

You need to get it before the Auxiliary Commander's office is finishing being built, whilst he's still using the tent. That is to say, you need to do it before you finish the Slug Den quest.

(+1)

I just started the game and I wanna ask, is there a way to be a dom in this?


further, is there a way to do stuff like taking advantage of when the ranger meets up with the slime? I'd love it if that was an option

like, defeating the monsters that capture others then using their own tricks into corrupting them to your whims instead of theirs, that'd be cool haha

(+2)

At the moment there are no scenes that involve dominating your enemies or corrupting other characters.

If you're looking for such a game, we recommend you check out https://sombreve.itch.io/dawn-of-corruption if you haven't already!

I have thank u!

and I've played the game quite a bit so far, got to rescuing the ranger for the second time,. in the jungle; havent checked the north yet

I am liking it a lot so far, keep up the good work!!! it's pretty friggin good haha

I do hope we get those options someday xP

Glad you ended up enjoying our game! Hope you'll keep playing and having a good time.

 add sex :)

(+1)

We'll try

(+2)

Do you have any plan to realease new update in near future? 

(+1)

We certainly hope to...!

No ETA yet, but we'll do our best to make sure everyone knows when its coming!
