Happy new year and fuck this spam add. 

For curious people who want to play from a tablet or phone (not sure if you can). Try the Steam Connect app, it allows you to restream not only games from Steam,just some settings and your complitly fine.


Thank you very much for the game, I sincerely wish everyone involved lots of happiness and only success in new year. Double thanks to the Ringo who made the Russian patch (sorry, but about discord, I'll pass)


Looking forward to the update, have a nice day!

(+2)

Happy New Year to you too, and thanks for the kind wishes.

Update will hopefully be arriving soon. I can't promise a Russian patch immediately, as our translators are just volunteers, but we'll at least try!

(1 edit)

Hey There Guys Happy New Year! :D i was wondering how many days were left until the game because I lost track already? I remember you said 20 last time

(+1)

We're getting close to release. I can't give a specific date, but we're definitely hoping to get it done before the end of January. HOPEFULLY in the first half of January!

Gotta put the final coats of polish and content into the game, and do a good deal of testing, but we're almost there. It really shouldn't slip out of January!

(+2)

I would like to wish you all a happy 2023! May this year be the best year ever!

Thank you, and same to you!

(+2)

Worth the 10 dollars I gave

Greatly appreciate the donation, thank you so much~!

I'm scared to release the new update, I can't wait to play it, it's the best NSFW furry game out there, a lot of people are waiting for it, I know you guys barely have time to do things because of school and etc, but you guys are very good at it, but it's eating me up inside

It's not going to be too much longer. Try and stay calm and patient for just a little longer, OK? 

Thank you for the compliments, and I hope you enjoy the update when it arrives!

(+1)

thank you and happy new year seriously what a unique game no wonder it's the best of all NSFW seriously

(+1)

Just out of curiosity, will this new update have bestiality?

not that I'm complaining but it would be nice to have content like that on it

(+2)

Not in the typical sense, no.

But if you enjoy lewd scenes that involve an anthro, and some kind of creature that is quite feral-minded and not all that intelligent, you miiiiight enjoy a particular scene.

Another Rinnal scene then? 👀🤤

Greetings. I really want to know when will be the announcement of the next update?

Soon. We're hoping for somewhen in the first half of January.

Make sure to follow us here on itch.io, on our Twitter socials, or join our Discord server if you'd like to know in advance.

Best wish!

Thank you!

(+3)

What an amazing game, really looking forward to the new update. I was never really a fan of these rpg maker-esque games but the mechanics and story here have drawn me in. Speaking of; is this made with any of the rpg maker engines? Or is it something else, I'm not versed in this genre enough to tell.

(+3)

The game is made with RPG Maker MV as the base engine, but also quite a lot of plugins and custom coding to make it do things beyond the scope of the basic engine!

I know fully well that RPG Maker games have a bit of a negative reputation in some circles... so thanks a lot for giving our game a try in spite of that! It's great to hear that you enjoyed it so much!

New update will be coming soonish, so do follow us here, or our socials, or join the Discord to be up-to-date! And thanks again for the kind words!

You guys are amazing. Keep up the phenomenal work <3 

Thank you!

I'm not gonna lie and say that the room with the blue and purple tiles didn't unnerve me in some way. But the game is hella good, I'll give you guys that.

Good job on this game, everyone, and I hope everyone else who stumbles on this game will enjoy it as much as I do.

(+1)

Thanks for the compliments! Glad to hear you enjoyed the game as much as you did.

We'd appreciate any word-of-mouth if you wanna share this game with your friends. Otherwise, thanks again for playing, and hope you'll check us out again when the next update launches, soon.

Hello there.  I have a few questions. Is there any way to reduce my depravity and how bad is it if there is a lot of it? Thank you in advance for the answer.

There is currently no way to reduce your corruption level.

Right now it only has minor effects: It adjusts some dialogue, it 'enhances' one scene, it makes a another lewd scene unavoidable.

When truly 'bad' effects start appearing in the game, we might give players a way to reduce their corruption level.

Hope that answers your questions. 

(+2)(-10)

hello again, i want to get something out of the way before i start, i never meant to make demands or force views, you just thought i did, i was merely suggesting some optional cosmetics we could modify for our own personal grove experience, and i do support this game, even though im broke irl, i want to see it succeed, and not changing any narrative, just one or two females that are totally optional by the way, never just assume anything, p.s. i gave the game a 5 star btw.

(+4)

Hello there everyone that is developing this game! I just wanted to say a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a joyous New Year to everyone that is making this game grand! I sincerely hope that every one of you has an amazing 2023, a mystical rest of 2022, and good health to you all for the foreseeable future! I hope I can speak for your entire fanbase when I say that we are at the edge of our seats watching the progress of this masterpiece of a game, and we are incredibly grateful to have you all with us!

Sincerely

Bittersweetstateofmind <3

(+2)

Thank you very much for the kind and heartfelt message! Fingers crossed, we can start of the new year with a bang, and the newest update for you all to enjoy!

(-2)

when update ?been waiting for a while now

(+1)

(+3)

Early January, hopefully.

Hi! Hello! I just wanted to say, great game you two made! Certainly gained a lot of traction and love from fans <3

Although, I keep getting crash messages at the Cavern Core with the green slime monster after Grapple phase as he coated Grove with a slime suit. The crash message says I have to go to persistent.rpgsave but when I do, I don't have the necessary program to start. What should I do? Should I redownload the game?

(1 edit)

Could you please take a screenshot of the error message and share it here? It would help immensely if we can see what it says exactly.

I couldn't seem to replicate the error, sorry :(

I remember it was something like:

"ERROR MESSAGE"
"Error: EBUSY: resource is busy or locked, open (a long string of file lead)-/www/save/persistent.rpgsave"

I hope that helps

Also, the game froze on the Bandit Cells after I stay there for too long, but I could hear Grove running around and ambience.

Well, I'm glad that you were able to proceed without the same error reoccurring.

As for the "freeze" issue, this is something that tends to happen with RPG Maker if you do indeed stand around for a long time and have other things going on in the background on your computer. It's not specific to that area or our game... it's more like a memory issue on lower-powered computers.

Hopefully you can continue to proceed through the game. It might be a little bit jittery in performance but I'm afraid that is all stuff outside our control (the game engine itself or your computer's spec)

Oh alright! Thanks for the reply, it helps a lot! This is the first time I have played any turn-based RPG game so I don't know much about files management ^3^'

Oh and I play the game on the Dell G15, which is a gaming laptop, with 16GB RAM, I hope the information helps!

Are you running the game from a cloud folder (drop box, google drive, onedrive etc)? The persistent file issue is usually a symptom of this. If so, be sure to run the game from your computer's drive as the auto-sync often breaks the saves!

- RegalBuster

I'm not placing the game files in any cloud-based folder, just my computer file, specifically in Downloads

it's been for months since l saw your twitter has new update game GROVE , so I decided to come back here to see how you guys are doing now . I hope this game GROVE Update plays more hours, and also l'm very excited to see this game GROVE update very soon in this december here or maybe late next year :)) .

Update will be coming soon! Hopefully early January! Please be patient for just a little longer.

it's okay , i'm not the kind very rush to see update game GROVE so just do anything you want . update anytime you want. Wish your creation game will be successful

after finishing the desert part with jaler where do we have to go?

That's the end of the game for now! New update coming soon!

(I guess you missed the "thanks for playing" message?)

(1 edit)

Enjoyed the game! Surprisingly challenging and fun combat for a lewd rpg, but I have a question: should I report bugs here or somewhere else? Because I've gone through the steps to get the Skimpy Armor outfit and gotten dialogue talking about it, but the blacksmith doesn't give it, and on a 100% run it bugs me to no end.

Thank you very much for playing our game! I'm glad to hear that you seemingly had quite a good time with it.

As for bug reports, our Discord server is the best place to do so, but here is fine too. We'll look into that issue you're having with the Skimpy Armour, and see if there's a fix for it. I recommend you keep hold of any saves prior to acquiring it, so you can potentially replay and grab it properly in the future.

Just to check though... you did go to your room at the inn and check the closet armoury, right? I know some people have forgotten to do so since they're used to it just appearing in their inventory.

(+1)

When will the game be updated? It hasn't been updated in almost a year

(+5)

Soon. Hopefully within the next 20 days or so.

will there be any intimate relationships with any of the characters? Correct me if im wrong, but i thought i saw some chem between the MC and the blacksmith, and i just wanna be sure.

There's a 'relationship points' mechanic in the game right now, for the blacksmith as well as a few other NPCs. Relationships with them might indeed blossom, if you play your cards right...

...but that'll be in a future update. It's still early days for now.

:)

I really enjoyed the game, it was definitely one of the best I've ever played in this style, I hope that someday it will be available for Android ❤️

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

(2 edits) (-1)

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.


- RegalBuster

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 100 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. 

谢谢

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.
