How do I access CRESCENT HILLS? I like the game a lot, but it frustrates me A LOT and discourages me from playing it again or recommending it because I never found it "Intuitive", since I wasted 21 hours trying every possible combination (NPC, Time, etc) to advance the plot because I had to give a random object to any character. I understand that I am the only player that happened to him and that Game Desing is not easy at all, but a hint or tip would really help me a lot.
As i am aware about you not finding this game "intuitive", i don't really think you're that type of player that really reads at least 40% of this game. After all, you already had the hint/tip you needed to access Crescent Hills, if you did everything. So i can't really understand you. The hint/tip is very simple: Look at your "LEADS" and see what Mystery is saying (LEARN HOW TO FIGHT!). In short, you need to talk Jessica in Manor's Garden. She'll teach you how to battle with this new Combat System. Basically a tutorial. After this Crescent Hills be unlocked to attack. Hope this help.
If I'm going to tell you my pure opinion about this comment, you're just lazy and don't make the slightest effort to play a EASY game like this. Even a 10-year-old can solve the "mystery" to access Crescent Hills, although is a adult game so that's not possible to happen, at least is what i hope.
So instead of complaining and saying that is not playing again or reccomending to anyone this game and blaming TheArcadean because you find his/her (or any pronouns TheArcadean prefers) game not intuitive, you should look for LEADS that is literally a hint/tip for everything. Straight to the point: Use your brain, it's not for decoration.
For legal reasons, it's a variation on the university system to ensure that all the characters are 18 or above. If you choose to imagine it as something else, well, I can't stop you ;)
I'm curious how the college is going to turn out in act 3, will we see our students again? Also, is there anything I can do for the shy girl in the library?
There will be, yes! :) Content this week is mostly bugfixes and polishes to the new systems, but once that's dealt with I'll be focused on opening up more districts for players to conquer and new events to experience in each.
This is amazing! I love it. Best game EVER! The story line is FANTASTIC, the characters are great (Lyx is my favorite, she is so adorable), the menus are very easy to navigate & use, etc. I hope that you will continue to work on this great game!
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :) I've been working on CK for over three years and I intend to keep on going until it's finished, and then immediately start up the next game! I love what I do, and all of you for making it possible,
Ah, you're welcome. I'm sorry for the late reply. I've been so busy with work. I have an idea for your game. Can you make it possible for Rosy & her child counterpart to meet each other. I was a little disappointed when I couldn't do it, I would be so happy if you made it possible via an option when going to Rosy's desert. Can you think about it? I would love it so much if they could meet.
It would really have to be for the MC, and you almost never see him so... uh, tah-dah! Overlord cosplay is now in the game, thanks to the power of imaginaaaaaaaation! ;)
I have something to ask, and it is kind of over 300 days late, but what is the are style is being used here? I know it is called anime style i don't belive it
I just wanna see something between Arty and the MC <3 And maybe more succubi since I'm a HUGE fan of succubi but was kinda disappointed the one we got looked like a child rather than a seductress.
also, I have a question... and this is open for everyone not just the dev... wtf is with the current trend of women making stupid faces with their tongues out? Does anyone actually find that attractive? Maybe I'm just an old fart but everyone I've asked doesn't understand it either. Literally the ONLY thing I dislike about this game is that all the females make that face when they 'finish'. total mood killer imho.
think you meant ahegao. There a lot kind of -gao, ahegao is just one of the most popular. It supposed to mean the girls feeling pleasure so much it fucked their brain out (also used just to say they cummed). So people just like to see the girls feeling good.
Nothing wrong with you because everyone have their own preferences. If dev want to add setting to disable the ahegao, they might do it only after the game is finished.
No, I mean in general. Like, every instagram, OF, or whatever chick posting selfies does that same stupid thing. Tongue out like they are Gene Simmons. It is right up there with the "duck lips" for absurdity, imo lol
Hey Arc your game is incredible its by far the best visual novel game I've ever played, I'm not sure if someone has asked this yet but I was just wondering will there be more scenes of Morgana?
1 - Are you planning to add more content after the conclusion of the main CK story?
2 - According to the CK wiki, Viola is the cosplay store manager, will we be able to meet her someday and use Awaken/Shatter on her?
3 - About the beast, the other one? And if so can we have a female version to give lots of ❤️?
4 - After a night of love and effort, will we have the chance to see a Lil Claire?
5 - Will there be a chance to kill or dominate the little tree when the time comes?
6 - When will we see our old friend Mark (Gwen) and Tom (Jessica) again? We haven’t finished honing our punching and humiliation skills.
7 - Will the main characters who haven’t gotten pregnant yet in act two get pregnant in act three?
8 - According to an old patreon post the house ladies will get pregnant, (Isaac son of Laura needs a brother/sister) as well as many other secondary girls will this be added before the end of the main story or after?
1. Yes, after CK concludes and goes into beta I will spend a few months (whilst simultaneously working on the prototype for the next game, which people will also have access to) polishing up the content, making QoL changes and adding new content across the three acts, plus epilogue. Also, translations.
2. I'll be honest... I keep forgetting she exists. I'll probably have to add her in during the beta phase at this point... unless I make her a surprise badass in Act Three, now that the combat system is out...
3. A "romanceable" Beast is something a lot of people have been requesting... we'll see... ;P
4. Yes, Claire will able to get pregnant in Act Three
5. You will have a LOT of options on what to do with Morgana when the time comes. Lots of people have lots of ideas, so I want to make sure everyone walks away satisfied ;)
6. Act Three. They're coming back with a vengeance!
7. Yes, all main characters will be able to get pregnant, as well as most side girls and one shots, but the end of the game :)
8. See answer to question 7 :)
Hope that answers all your questions, but if not, or if you have any more, just let me know!
So, your answer to number 7... all the kunoichi as well, I assume?
Also, I have a question regarding the children... Are we going to see them grow up into teens and possibly adults? I ask for two reasons and nothing sexual... 1) the way Arty described it was, to me, that they mature rapidly to adult within a month or two. 2) some of the kids would be bad-ass to recruit in the fight system. I'd love to see the wolf girls fight side by side and see how K-chan protects her cub.
One other question... Did you intentionally parody Batgirl / Oracle? I don't want to say the character and give spoilers so I'm hoping you get my reference.
Oh no, I don't the children to grow up but the idea is damn good. Maybe they could help fighting against little minion or support by giving bonus buff to conquered area (if conquered area can be taken back by enemy).
I don’t think the children will grow up to help in the battle, but I would be surprised if they did.
Since it would be more work for Arc and people would ask to have a romance with the children, which Arc doesn’t want to do because the patreon would punish and financially harm.
yeahhh... incest is NOT Wincest lol That was why I made a point to say "nothing sexual". I was just thinking how cool it would be to run into battle with two wolf chicks and two flame biotches.
"Will the kids grow up" is something that's been asked a fair amount... and not always with the most innocent of intentions... and pretty much for that reason the answer is "no". Artifact states that the energy within the kids accelerates their growth by a few years but burns out after that so no more accelerated growth specifically to avoid the kids growing into adults and me having to field endless "why can't I do naughty things with them!?" questions :P
There's too many issues and problems around it, not to mention the biggest one: that Patreon would ban me from the platform for that kind of thing!
She's not a parody of Oracle, but once "the incident" happened I realised it'd be a good role for her to play so I leaned a little more into the reference :)
The reason for "the incident" was to drive home the fact that there are consequences for the MC's behaviour and because my family has a history of working with and for the physically disadvantaged and it's something I'd like to shine more of a light on - as tastefully and respectfully as possible.
Wow, I didn’t think you would say that about Viola, well it’s your choice to add her in the beta phase or as a surprise in Act Three, but it would be nice to be able to see what she will look like and maybe use Awaken/Shatter on her.
I hope a female and romantic beast happens I wonder what this romace should be like… As the beast seems to have more than one eye I wonder if the appearance of the beast would be something close to this:
(If a female body has not been made yet you can create a female version based on these images if you like any…)
The girl in the first picture is the most similar to the beast…
You make us happy, I can’t wait to see Lil Claire.
All characters get pregnant the end of the game? NICE!!!
Santa Arc 🎄 thank you for these gifts 🎁 that will be coming.
I agree 100% with that last sentence! I've been a console game journalist professionally for almost 20 years now and I have to say I haven't been hooked on any game in the past 5 years or more as I have been to this one.I don't like using PC for gaming and mine is old and out dated by far, but I happened upon this game and spent almost 33 hours straight playing it, stopping only to eat, sleep, or bathe lol And you can be sure once my funds settle a bit (paying off a huge loan) I'll be throwing money toward it!
Update is out right now on Patreon and Subscribestar (with a patched version releasing in a few hours... yay for early-access bugs!)
The public version will be released on Wednesday (a day earlier than normal, as the early access version went up a day early too) right here as usual.
Sorry to make everyone wait! But also, it might be for the best since you get the fully polished version, free of all the weirdness I've been patching out all morning... :P
I can't seem to find this. Is there something you have to do to unlock it or? (Also I'm at the very end of act 2 (just so I can continue to access everything like normal for now))
At the top of the screen, on the right hand side, you should see a collection of icons. Click the one that looks like a heart, then click the girl you want to see a hint for. At the bottom of the screen that pops open you should see a box that says "HINT:" followed by the hint for the girl's progression :)
Update was just released on Patreon and Subscribestar. Public version will go live in a few days. I'd have liked to release it to everyone today but that wouldn't be fair to all the amazing people who support me.
Hello Mister Arc developer person. This is the first time I EVER leave a comment but I think that your game more than deserves the praise. This is literally the most ambitious and well-made NSFW game I have ever played or even watched. The story is borderline addictive (Been playing for a couple of days, playing multi-hour sessions JUST for the story), Great humor along with deadly seriousness (I caught myself gasping out of shock multiple times through out my playthrough), Fun and infectious gameplay for this type of game, and the variety of things to do in general. I can say comfortably that I have put at least 30-40 hours on this game, MOST of it not even for the porn. I can only hope and dream for this game to become even bigger and better. Already can't wait for the next update!
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that you took the time to post that, especially since it was your first time doing so :) Makes me feel special!
And thank you for the kind words! Solo devs like myself live and die on positive feedback so it really does mean a lot to me. New update just went live over on Patreon and Subscribestar and will be posted here in a few days, so I hope you enjoy it!
I'm happy you enjoyed it! :) I hope you stick with CK and continue to enjoy all the updates I have planned for the future! Weekly updates resume once the next update is out!
If you maxed out the college then there will be a special event for her (and the Sword Girl) in a future update in Act Three once you conquer the college's district :)
Stats that are locked due to your powers being limited. That limit was broken (or at least damaged) in the Act Two finale so it will start to open up again :)
will there be any 3D action figures for the game or accessories with prints? Perhaps the only game in this genre that hooked me so much that I wanted to have some kind of memory about it in the future.
It's definitely something I've considered, though it's hard to gauge how popular something like that would be ahead of time - and it's a substantial time and financial investment.
Once the new mechanics are released and stable I may go back to researching it, though - if so, I'll make an announcement here, on Patreon and on Subscribestar. Probably a limited run to start with to see how interested people are :)
All costumes are available by the end of Act Two. I'm going to assume by "Chloe" you mean "Gwen", because Jessica's last outfit is her Hallowe'en outfit, and if you have Gwen's Hallowe'en costume then you'd have Jessica's too :)
To get the Hallowe'en costumes for Jessica and Gwen you need to have all the Hallowe'en decorations active in your room (Jack O' Lantern on the bedside table, coffin bed and witch poster) and then go to the dungeon in the evening.
Doesn't currently work, JSYK. Those were all I was missing as well and I did what you posted and the only option given to me now is to summon the character I defeated in combat.
Also, while we're discussing issues with the current update... where's the best place to post those for future ref? Discord channel I'm assuming? because ATM I noticed that the quick menu keeps disabling itself. If I click back it disables. if the screen changes from room to room or sleeping it disables. minimizing the window also disables it lol It's afraid of me! It keeps hiding!
One last thing, I like the combat system but is there be a way to grind? I lost my first battle using the MC and had to flee... came back using Chloe as the front and she whooped so much harder. Won in 2-3 turns both fights. So, I definitely need a way to grind considering I noticed only the frontliner gets the exp and if we get skills having the MC as support that will definitely gimp exp gain.
You have to do it in Act Two. For some strange reason, Jessica and Gwen don't really feel like playing dress-up whilst Gwen's dealing with her new situation and a war rages right outside the Manor gates ;)
The Quick Menu should be displaying permanently if you have it set to "Enable" in preferences. Make sure you don't have it on "Disable".
No way to grind right now, but I'm adding a "look for trouble" mode, hopefully for the next update, that will allow players to engage in non-district fights and gain EXP (as well as allowing MC to learn new skills from new recruits).
Bug reports and issues should be reported in the CK server, yes - makes it much easier for me to keep track of them that way :)
Awesome game! Solid 10. The MC's kids were all cute~ When I reached the current main storyline I can no longer see them. I hope to see them again soon. T_T
Hey, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
With the Combat/Conquer system coming in the next update, players will finally be able to start working through the map and eventually gain access to the Outskirts and Annie's farm. I hope everyone's okay!
If you're using the Itch app, and are on Windows, Linux or Mac then the game will patch automatically for you - you don't need to do anything.
If you're not using the Itch app, and are on Windows, Linux or Mac then you need to download the entire update file and EXTRACT TO A FRESH FOLDER.
If you're on Android then you need to download the apk and install it over the top of the old version (DO NOT DELETE THE GAME or you'll lose your saves permanently)
In all cases your saves are automatically transferred over for you :)
NOTE: There is a potential bug with the Itch app's updating procedure which can wipe out your manual saves. If this happens, don't panic, your nightly autosaves are still there. Just open the LOAD page, click on the "A" next to the page numbers at the bottom of the screen and voila!
Nice update but it will definitely increase the game size. Since android can only install 2 gb update, is it still possible to keep the android version up to date? Or do android user will need to use joiplay later?
One of my top priorities with CK is to keep the filesize as low as humanly possible. This is why I use .webp and .webm, I compress audio, I went for 720p resolution and I try to reuse assets as much as possible (also a reason for the Act Three paperdoll system).
My goal is to maintain the game below 2GB, and the latest update hasn't significantly added to the overall filesize, so things are still on track :)
This games deserve a 10/10 . The quality, mechanic, bug fixes, update, h scene, easy to understand, lots of variation girls and costume , the game is close to perfect. I have tried to play other nsfw itch game and so far CR win by very far distance from my second-place game.
Edit: Also, is it just me or gwen and chloe bath threesome scene on Act 2 feels weird. Their face look unnatural or something. Im not sure what but something feels too weird in the scene.
So I found a beg in the game on mobile I don't what happened but I was playing the game and I saved my game and closed the app once I reopened it all my saves were gone and every time I tried to save the game told me there wasn't any save slots
It's not a game bug (because the code just literally can't do what you're describing) so it seems like something's happened to your phone in the interim.
Possibly you had a large OS update that messed up your data folder? Or you shuffled some files around (or an app did it) which has messed up some file hierarchies. Or your data folder has become read-only for some reason. Or you just need to fully power down your phone because some libraries or drivers decided to go a little mad. Or a dozen other issues (because technology is a Lovecraftian monster that obeys no rules or laws of man).
I'd try the power-down thing though; it solves about 90% of the weird issues reported here.
Hey Arca, I know that you are busy developing game and other stuff, but could you make a zip file for android with apk(just downloading it) and cache(putting cache in android/obb)? Because for some phones it is quite difficult to install 1.42gb
Sorry, I'm possibly being dense but I'm not sure how dividing one file into two helps you with your lack of storage, especially since OBB files contain game assets (accounting for 99% of the file size) and that would need to be updated every new release anyway as I include new assets in each release.
I think what you're really asking for is a patch file, but unfortunately neither Ren'py nor Itch support Android patching. It's a ridiculously complex procedure that people in the indie dev community have been chipping away at for years with no success :(
If you have the Itch app then it will patch the game for you (if you're on Windows, Mac or Linux). If you don't have the app, or you're on Android, then you need to download the entire game again each time, I'm afraid.
For Win/Mac/Linux: Download and extract to a FRESH folder (do NOT overwrite the old files - sometimes I change file structures and it can break things). That's it! The game will automatically transfer your saves over for you.
For Android: Download the APK and install it on top of the existing APK (do NOT delete the gme at any time or you will permanently lose all your progress!). Same as above, the game will transfer your save files over

why is the android download a .zip?
Extract it and then install it
Because Butler (the Itch uploader) randomly packages .apk files in .zip files for reasons known only to itself and whatever dark god it worships.
What type of college is this?
Like, is it a high school or a university?
For legal reasons, it's a variation on the university system to ensure that all the characters are 18 or above. If you choose to imagine it as something else, well, I can't stop you ;)
I see that you are a law abiding citizen, and no, i don't imagine such things, i asked because it's my duty to be doing things by the law
I'm curious how the college is going to turn out in act 3, will we see our students again? Also, is there anything I can do for the shy girl in the library?
Quiet Girl and Sword Girl will have their mysteries explored in Act Three, provided you maxed out your Authority in the college in Act Two :)
I kinda miss having fun with our little fairy Fren pixxie! Will there be more content with her soon???
There will be, yes! :) Content this week is mostly bugfixes and polishes to the new systems, but once that's dealt with I'll be focused on opening up more districts for players to conquer and new events to experience in each.
Awesome!!! Can't wait for moar!
Всем привет, может кто-нибудь подсказать как открыть последний костюм на Джессику?
Update Day!
This is amazing! I love it. Best game EVER! The story line is FANTASTIC, the characters are great (Lyx is my favorite, she is so adorable), the menus are very easy to navigate & use, etc. I hope that you will continue to work on this great game!
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that :) I've been working on CK for over three years and I intend to keep on going until it's finished, and then immediately start up the next game! I love what I do, and all of you for making it possible,
Ah, you're welcome. I'm sorry for the late reply. I've been so busy with work. I have an idea for your game. Can you make it possible for Rosy & her child counterpart to meet each other.

Where is that so-and-so going to find him in the suburbs?的
Sorry, I have no idea what you're asking. I just woke up and I'm very sleepy ^_^;
Please add Overlord cosplay. I'm not sure for who but it will be good.
It would really have to be for the MC, and you almost never see him so... uh, tah-dah! Overlord cosplay is now in the game, thanks to the power of imaginaaaaaaaation! ;)
Oh no! Now I can hear MC talking in Ainz's voice. HELP!!!
Hey! So when is the update?
It's out right now for Patreon and Subscribestar, and will be available publicly from tomorrow morning :)
oh great! so even though the internet gods said harder daddy you kept firm and made them bend to your will. nice!
I like this analogy and I'm going to pretend that's literally what happened!
as soon as i get the new update i am heading directly to the outskirts, i wanna see gramps :(
I wanna see mah kids! And who's Gramps🤣
(this is a joke, but I still wanna see my kids)
New update doesn't open up the Outskirts yet, sorry! Got to conquer a bunch of districts first :P
I have something to ask, and it is kind of over 300 days late, but what is the are style is being used here? I know it is called anime style i don't belive it
Koikatsu
Show post...
東方 style (not western)
IT IS ALMOST HERE, EVERYONE BREATHE
DON'T PANIC! DON'T PANIC!
I AM OKAY I SWEAR I AM OKAY
cant wait to see what we can do this update!!!
patiently awaiting more smol chest character content
Well now I'm thinking of kawaii chest bursters...
I just wanna see something between Arty and the MC <3 And maybe more succubi since I'm a HUGE fan of succubi but was kinda disappointed the one we got looked like a child rather than a seductress.
also, I have a question... and this is open for everyone not just the dev... wtf is with the current trend of women making stupid faces with their tongues out? Does anyone actually find that attractive? Maybe I'm just an old fart but everyone I've asked doesn't understand it either.

No, I mean in general. Like, every instagram, OF, or whatever chick posting selfies does that same stupid thing. Tongue out like they are Gene Simmons. It is right up there with the "duck lips" for absurdity, imo lol
Hey Arc your game is incredible its by far the best visual novel game I've ever played, I'm not sure if someone has asked this yet but I was just wondering will there be more scenes of Morgana?
Thanks.
Aww, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)
Yes, there will be a LOT more scenes with Morgana, especially now that the new systems have been released for Act Three. Big stuff on its way!
I have some questions.
1 - Are you planning to add more content after the conclusion of the main CK story?
2 - According to the CK wiki, Viola is the cosplay store manager, will we be able to meet her someday and use Awaken/Shatter on her?
3 - About the beast, the other one? And if so can we have a female version to give lots of ❤️?
4 - After a night of love and effort, will we have the chance to see a Lil Claire?
5 - Will there be a chance to kill or dominate the little tree when the time comes?
6 - When will we see our old friend Mark (Gwen) and Tom (Jessica) again? We haven’t finished honing our punching and humiliation skills.
7 - Will the main characters who haven’t gotten pregnant yet in act two get pregnant in act three?
8 - According to an old patreon post the house ladies will get pregnant, (Isaac son of Laura needs a brother/sister) as well as many other secondary girls will this be added before the end of the main story or after?
I have some answers!
1. Yes, after CK concludes and goes into beta I will spend a few months (whilst simultaneously working on the prototype for the next game, which people will also have access to) polishing up the content, making QoL changes and adding new content across the three acts, plus epilogue. Also, translations.
2. I'll be honest... I keep forgetting she exists. I'll probably have to add her in during the beta phase at this point... unless I make her a surprise badass in Act Three, now that the combat system is out...
3. A "romanceable" Beast is something a lot of people have been requesting... we'll see... ;P
4. Yes, Claire will able to get pregnant in Act Three
5. You will have a LOT of options on what to do with Morgana when the time comes. Lots of people have lots of ideas, so I want to make sure everyone walks away satisfied ;)
6. Act Three. They're coming back with a vengeance!
7. Yes, all main characters will be able to get pregnant, as well as most side girls and one shots, but the end of the game :)
8. See answer to question 7 :)
Hope that answers all your questions, but if not, or if you have any more, just let me know!

The girl in the first picture is the most similar to the beast…
You make us happy, I can’t wait to see Lil Claire.
All characters get pregnant the end of the game? NICE!!!
Santa Arc 🎄 thank you for these gifts 🎁 that will be coming.
I agree 100% with that last sentence! I've been a console game journalist professionally for almost 20 years now and I have to say I haven't been hooked on any game in the past 5 years or more as I have been to this one.I don't like using PC for gaming and mine is old and out dated by far, but I happened upon this game and spent almost 33 hours straight playing it, stopping only to eat, sleep, or bathe lol And you can be sure once my funds settle a bit (paying off a huge loan) I'll be throwing money toward it!
Wonder how many ppl are watching this rn to see if the update comes before the end of today lol
I've been popping in and out every few hours
same
Same
earlyer he said it wont be out for a couple days
Update is out right now on Patreon and Subscribestar (with a patched version releasing in a few hours... yay for early-access bugs!)
The public version will be released on Wednesday (a day earlier than normal, as the early access version went up a day early too) right here as usual.
Sorry to make everyone wait! But also, it might be for the best since you get the fully polished version, free of all the weirdness I've been patching out all morning... :P
"Weirdness"... Did you somehow program Pixie to despise ice cream? XD
Man, I wish... I might finally get a shot at some mint chocolate chip!
Where can I see the character hint screen in the mobile version? Tried everything in the UI and can't find it.
Press the heart at the top and choose the character you Want to see the Hint of
To add to what Denjicsmmakima said, you need to be in Act Two and be able to exit the Manor before the UI will appear
I can't seem to find this. Is there something you have to do to unlock it or? (Also I'm at the very end of act 2 (just so I can continue to access everything like normal for now))
At the top of the screen, on the right hand side, you should see a collection of icons. Click the one that looks like a heart, then click the girl you want to see a hint for. At the bottom of the screen that pops open you should see a box that says "HINT:" followed by the hint for the girl's progression :)
Oh, I just never noticed the hint, as I'm blind af XD. Thank you. Also loved the newest update.
wait is it coming out on patreon only or will it be uploaded here as well
Update was just released on Patreon and Subscribestar. Public version will go live in a few days. I'd have liked to release it to everyone today but that wouldn't be fair to all the amazing people who support me.
you should have just given the patreons a little somthing extra to make up for releasing both the same day
hey arc what time are you aiming for the update release
Hello Mister Arc developer person. This is the first time I EVER leave a comment but I think that your game more than deserves the praise.
This is literally the most ambitious and well-made NSFW game I have ever played or even watched. The story is borderline addictive (Been playing for a couple of days, playing multi-hour sessions JUST for the story), Great humor along with deadly seriousness (I caught myself gasping out of shock multiple times through out my playthrough), Fun and infectious gameplay for this type of game, and the variety of things to do in general.
I can say comfortably that I have put at least 30-40 hours on this game, MOST of it not even for the porn. I can only hope and dream for this game to become even bigger and better. Already can't wait for the next update!
Aww, thank you! I really appreciate that you took the time to post that, especially since it was your first time doing so :) Makes me feel special!
And thank you for the kind words! Solo devs like myself live and die on positive feedback so it really does mean a lot to me. New update just went live over on Patreon and Subscribestar and will be posted here in a few days, so I hope you enjoy it!
The week (in which you promised an update come hell or high water) is almost over mate ;)
Oh believe me, I'm aware! :P Update will be released on Patreon and Subscribestar before the day is over, no matter what.
EDIT: The update was just released!
Just finished the current version today and I have to say, what a banger.
We will watch your career with great interest.
I'm happy you enjoyed it! :) I hope you stick with CK and continue to enjoy all the updates I have planned for the future! Weekly updates resume once the next update is out!
What do I need to do for the quiet girl in college, i have maxed out the college but can't do anything with her ?
there's nothing to do with her yet so don't worry about it
If you maxed out the college then there will be a special event for her (and the Sword Girl) in a future update in Act Three once you conquer the college's district :)
plus are we going to be able to give gwen her legs back or she stuck like that
Thats a spoiler
No spoilers for future story content, sorry!
what is the deal with the green lock on our stats screen
To be unlocked in a future update I presume.
Stats that are locked due to your powers being limited. That limit was broken (or at least damaged) in the Act Two finale so it will start to open up again :)
It’s the third visual novel that hooked me so much. I really want to see all of it. Everything is beyond explainable in terms of greatness.
I'm glad you're enjoying it so much! :) I hope you enjoy the upcoming update, and all the updates to come!
Show post...
If Morgana Manages to create Cirno (Ice Elemental Fey), Will MC be able to fight her?
her Music Theme: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SaNPpC2kHUTnvoyS3-sqR4MVzahOZMKH/view?usp=shari...
Faeries in CK have incredibly low intelligence, so MC could probably trick her into hugging a fire ;)
will there be any 3D action figures for the game or accessories with prints? Perhaps the only game in this genre that hooked me so much that I wanted to have some kind of memory about it in the future.
It's definitely something I've considered, though it's hard to gauge how popular something like that would be ahead of time - and it's a substantial time and financial investment.
Once the new mechanics are released and stable I may go back to researching it, though - if so, I'll make an announcement here, on Patreon and on Subscribestar. Probably a limited run to start with to see how interested people are :)
Question, are the last costumes for Jessica and Chloe in act three? I don't want to miss anything in act two and I'm at the end.
All costumes are available by the end of Act Two. I'm going to assume by "Chloe" you mean "Gwen", because Jessica's last outfit is her Hallowe'en outfit, and if you have Gwen's Hallowe'en costume then you'd have Jessica's too :)
To get the Hallowe'en costumes for Jessica and Gwen you need to have all the Hallowe'en decorations active in your room (Jack O' Lantern on the bedside table, coffin bed and witch poster) and then go to the dungeon in the evening.
Yes I meant Gwen oops but thanks I didn't think of going to the Dungeon for the rest plus I forgot how I got the one outfit so thanks again.
Doesn't currently work, JSYK. Those were all I was missing as well and I did what you posted and the only option given to me now is to summon the character I defeated in combat.
Also, while we're discussing issues with the current update... where's the best place to post those for future ref? Discord channel I'm assuming? because ATM I noticed that the quick menu keeps disabling itself. If I click back it disables. if the screen changes from room to room or sleeping it disables. minimizing the window also disables it lol It's afraid of me! It keeps hiding!
One last thing, I like the combat system but is there be a way to grind? I lost my first battle using the MC and had to flee... came back using Chloe as the front and she whooped so much harder. Won in 2-3 turns both fights. So, I definitely need a way to grind considering I noticed only the frontliner gets the exp and if we get skills having the MC as support that will definitely gimp exp gain.
You have to do it in Act Two. For some strange reason, Jessica and Gwen don't really feel like playing dress-up whilst Gwen's dealing with her new situation and a war rages right outside the Manor gates ;)
The Quick Menu should be displaying permanently if you have it set to "Enable" in preferences. Make sure you don't have it on "Disable".
No way to grind right now, but I'm adding a "look for trouble" mode, hopefully for the next update, that will allow players to engage in non-district fights and gain EXP (as well as allowing MC to learn new skills from new recruits).
Bug reports and issues should be reported in the CK server, yes - makes it much easier for me to keep track of them that way :)
Awesome game! Solid 10. The MC's kids were all cute~ When I reached the current main storyline I can no longer see them. I hope to see them again soon. T_T
Hey, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
With the Combat/Conquer system coming in the next update, players will finally be able to start working through the map and eventually gain access to the Outskirts and Annie's farm. I hope everyone's okay!
how do i do updates or does it do it automatically
If you're using the Itch app, and are on Windows, Linux or Mac then the game will patch automatically for you - you don't need to do anything.
If you're not using the Itch app, and are on Windows, Linux or Mac then you need to download the entire update file and EXTRACT TO A FRESH FOLDER.
If you're on Android then you need to download the apk and install it over the top of the old version (DO NOT DELETE THE GAME or you'll lose your saves permanently)
In all cases your saves are automatically transferred over for you :)
NOTE: There is a potential bug with the Itch app's updating procedure which can wipe out your manual saves. If this happens, don't panic, your nightly autosaves are still there. Just open the LOAD page, click on the "A" next to the page numbers at the bottom of the screen and voila!
Hope that helped!
Nice update but it will definitely increase the game size. Since android can only install 2 gb update, is it still possible to keep the android version up to date? Or do android user will need to use joiplay later?
One of my top priorities with CK is to keep the filesize as low as humanly possible. This is why I use .webp and .webm, I compress audio, I went for 720p resolution and I try to reuse assets as much as possible (also a reason for the Act Three paperdoll system).
My goal is to maintain the game below 2GB, and the latest update hasn't significantly added to the overall filesize, so things are still on track :)
This games deserve a 10/10 . The quality, mechanic, bug fixes, update, h scene, easy to understand, lots of variation girls and costume , the game is close to perfect. I have tried to play other nsfw itch game and so far CR win by very far distance from my second-place game.
Edit: Also, is it just me or gwen and chloe bath threesome scene on Act 2 feels weird. Their face look unnatural or something. Im not sure what but something feels too weird in the scene.
So I found a beg in the game on mobile I don't what happened but I was playing the game and I saved my game and closed the app once I reopened it all my saves were gone and every time I tried to save the game told me there wasn't any save slots
It's not a game bug (because the code just literally can't do what you're describing) so it seems like something's happened to your phone in the interim.
Possibly you had a large OS update that messed up your data folder? Or you shuffled some files around (or an app did it) which has messed up some file hierarchies. Or your data folder has become read-only for some reason. Or you just need to fully power down your phone because some libraries or drivers decided to go a little mad. Or a dozen other issues (because technology is a Lovecraftian monster that obeys no rules or laws of man).
I'd try the power-down thing though; it solves about 90% of the weird issues reported here.
Sorry I can't be of more help!
Hey Arca, I know that you are busy developing game and other stuff, but could you make a zip file for android with apk(just downloading it) and cache(putting cache in android/obb)? Because for some phones it is quite difficult to install 1.42gb
Sorry, I'm possibly being dense but I'm not sure how dividing one file into two helps you with your lack of storage, especially since OBB files contain game assets (accounting for 99% of the file size) and that would need to be updated every new release anyway as I include new assets in each release.
I think what you're really asking for is a patch file, but unfortunately neither Ren'py nor Itch support Android patching. It's a ridiculously complex procedure that people in the indie dev community have been chipping away at for years with no success :(
Oh, okay, understood. Kinda sad that not possible, but thanks for the reply and good luck in developing!
I love this game. Great storyline, that I believe could be made into an anime series!
Aww, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)
I have to ask can we get a big titty goth gf in a update or the next sequel lol
Hmm, maybe as a Boss Girl (Big Titty Goth Boss Girlfriend, as it were)... I'll see what I can do ;)
woooooo
А на версии 0.17.7 можно кого-нибудь заселить в поместье
Только подруг Джессики вроде + Молли + двое фей увести от Морганы
И где найти эти 2 феи
Сюжетная линия Морганы, в самом конце
Do you know how to update this game , you know if a new version come up?
you just redownload it and put it in the current folder you have, then you let the computer replace the assets and you're done hope it help
If you have the Itch app then it will patch the game for you (if you're on Windows, Mac or Linux). If you don't have the app, or you're on Android, then you need to download the entire game again each time, I'm afraid.
For Win/Mac/Linux: Download and extract to a FRESH folder (do NOT overwrite the old files - sometimes I change file structures and it can break things). That's it! The game will automatically transfer your saves over for you.
For Android: Download the APK and install it on top of the existing APK (do NOT delete the gme at any time or you will permanently lose all your progress!). Same as above, the game will transfer your save files over
Hope that helps! :)
