PUBLIC RELEASE - v0.17.8b - COMBAT AND CONQUER!
The weekly update has been released!
Yes, after long weeks of waiting, it's finally here! The Command... er, that is, the Combat and Conquer systems! Plus crafting, dungeon, supplies, skills... well, the list goes on! I'm really sorry it took so long, and I'm back to weekly updates now. I hope you enjoy! :)
PLEASE READ!
IF YOU ARE ON WINDOWS, LINUX OR MAC IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NO OVERWRITE THE OLD UPDATE WITH THE NEW ONE! JUST EXTRACT THIS UPDATE TO A BRAND NEW FOLDER AND PLAY! THE GAME WILL TRANSFER YOUR SAVE FILES FOR YOU!
KNOWN ISSUES:
Due to the necessity of changing the User Interface, there will be quite a bit of jank (Hana looks like she's been cut in half, for example) and some screens (such as the skill, inventory, fighter and crafting screens) haven't had a UI pass and look kinda janky. All this will be fixed in the next few updates, so please bear with me until then. Thank you!
CHANGELOG:
- COMBAT: It's here! It's finally here! You can now engage in combat in CK! Woo! Details below:
- COMBAT: Currently you can only attack CRESCENT HILLS on the War Map!
- COMBAT: You can choose to FIGHT, SEDUCE, use your POWERS, ITEMS or RUN (provided you're not fighting a boss-type character)
- COMBAT: Multiple FIGHT and SEDUCE skills to choose from, each with their own damage and special effect!
- COMBAT: Gather new skills and equip up to fifteen (six physical skills, six seduction skills and three powers)!
- COMBAT: Start with only one POWER slot and train to unlock more!
- COMBAT: POWERS are extremely powerful skills, but you can only assign up to three and only use them once per battle! So strategize wisely!
- COMBAT: You can fight SOLO, with SUPPORT or with a SQUAD!
- COMBAT: Squads will fight in the background, gaining or losing you morale which will give you buffs or debuffs!
- COMBAT: Choose which of the girls (or yourself!) you want to be a FRONTLINE or SUPPORT fighter!
- COMBAT: LEARN new skills by setting MC as SUPPORT and using unique skills with the FRONTLINE girls!
- COMBAT: Combat victory outcome will change depending on if you got a FIGHT VICTORY or a SEDUCTION VICTORY!
- COMBAT: ITEMs will drop after combat! Use them in battle or for certain events!
- COMBAT: Each enemy has their own AI "type" (Tank, Chemist, Seductress, etc.) and will behave differently to other AI types!
- COMBAT: Added a very basic battle tutorial. I'll likely refine this as time goes on, but it should be enough to get everyone up to speed
- CRAFTING: You can now order SUPPLIES! Talk to Hana, or use the notebook in the kitchen after training with Jessica
- CRAFTING: You can now CRAFT supplies! Use them in battle or for certain events!
- DUNGEON: The dungeon is back! You must have bought the DUNGEON upgrade in Act Two!
- DUNGEON: You can now "break" Boss Girls you capture (takes six attempts at most) to recruit them!
- DUNGEON: You can "roleplay" the "breaking" process with any Boss Girl you have recruited!
- WARDROBE: "Change Hairstyles" was removed and will be replaced with "Change Accessories" in a later update
- UI: Changed a bunch of UI elements, partially to accommodate changes to this version and partially to prepare for future update plans. These changes are not universal or necessarily permanent! They will shift constantly over the coming weeks
- UI: Trying a "deployable" thing with the top nav bar. Partially to regain some screen real estate and partially so that people can see the entire image when they click the "hide UI" hotkey. Not sure it works, so it might be reverted. We'll see
- UI: Moved the quick menu on Android to the top of the screen. Gotta free up that right hand, gentlemen!
- CHEAT: Added an "Add Dungeon to Manor" cheat to the laptop
- Bug: War erupts, but Gwen & Ami: Kid Detectives know that it's just a cover for the jam thief! I mean, look at this battlefield... jam everywhere!

I now have a good understanding of why this update took so long, and it was worth it. The combat is fun, the reward is... rewarding, the defeats are lesson-teaching, and there's a whole lot more to learn.😎
I'm excited to see what's next Arc Wizard! 😁😁😎😎
Though I do have to point out, whenever I click on the district on the war map (I'm playing on Android by the way), it does take the better part of a minute to load. Is that something that can be worked on?
I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I hope you continue to enjoy what I have planned for the future!
The war map is just a basic imagemap so there's no reason in the world why there should be any slowdown. Perhaps try restarting your device (full power off and power down) or freeing up some storage space (or both) as it sounds like your phone is seizing up while it tries to shuffle memory around.
Sorry I can't be more help
Hmm, yeah maybe it's on my side 🤔 but all in all, no worries 😎
I absolutely love this game and the stuff you come up with, and I'll gladly wait for whatever comes next 😁
Where's the option to back,skip etc ?. Idk that one intended (temp/perm) or some bug, and these new UI looks really good so fresh but please add that back / skip option those absolutly help, also thank you for making such masterpiece game i've never known that Hgame got my emotion like roller coaster mixed with every aspect sad,anger and so on not just click to fuck games
I'm glad you're enjoying it, and my apologies for the issues!
The quick menu will only appear if you go to preferences and click on "Enable" under "Quick Menu". Although people have been reporting that it's not always working as intended so I'll be looking into fixing that in the next update.
So basically keep the old version and download the new version. Create a file and put the new version in the file and whatever save you have in the old version will transfer into the new version?
Yes or No?
Yup! If you're on Windows, Mac or Linux you can delete the old game folder even before you download the new update - saves are recorded in two places as backup :)
Why is people talking about restartung the game? I haven't played in a while and i already restarted some time ago, rn im at the part after Gramps arrives so i could probably restart rn if i missed something important but just wanted to know before doing so, btw as like dumb as it may sound i love this game a lot it has made me really happy in the past so thank you to the developer/developers behind this.
Yup, it's developer singular, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
I think a lot of people are restarting because they're coming back to the game after a long break and want to experience everything fresh again. Or, in some case, they've lost, damaged or deleted their save games. It's certainly not necessary to restart, but if people want to they I hope they enjoy playing through again!

Saving this into my MUSTPLAY collection! Looks great! ❤
I hope you enjoy it when you get around to it! :)
Hey, does anyone know how exactly we are meant to start the combat? I have no clue, and I can't find any information
As mentioned at the top of the changelog: Crescent Hills (it's just to the right of the Manor on the war map) :)
If you have found Crescent Hills, but can't fight there, it's because you haven't talked to Jessica as your lead suggests. You can find her in the gardem.
If you don't even have access to the War Room yet then you need to find Jessica first. She can be found in the bathroom on WEDNESDAY MORNING and at the front door on SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The next update (next week) will add a lot more spawn locations to make her much easier to find.
Might want to nudge this element a bit to the right?
As mentioned in the changelog, there are numerous UI errors currently that will be worked on in the next update or two :)
1366 x 768 screen do well. I guess this "good job" worthy update. Figuring out my enemy strategy and guess it correctly even if the next action got caught in status effect is flowing right. Up to next week update
Looking at the update log alone seems to be pushing the engine to limit. Let's see how this go.
It's really just a lot of trickery with imagemaps and layering. I'm self-taught; I have no idea how to really push an engine ;)
Compared to other content run with renpy, I think the combat is a fantastic piece of work by a solo developer. Great Job, From here your self taught skills look great. Can't wait to see how it all works out.
finally the updates here, time to fight guys in a hentai game
Hope you enjoy! :)
Im a bit of a brainless windows user but how do i do this?
IF YOU ARE ON WINDOWS, LINUX OR MAC IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NO OVERWRITE THE OLD UPDATE WITH THE NEW ONE! JUST EXTRACT THIS UPDATE TO A BRAND NEW FOLDER AND PLAY! THE GAME WILL TRANSFER YOUR SAVE FILES FOR YOU!
idk if this is right but u just basically download the current version, put the current ver in a new folder, and your files and saves from the last versions should automatically go to the new version
Yup, this is correct! :)
It just means don't put the new files in the old folder. I had to change how some of the files are ordered and Ren'py doesn't have any way to automatically account for that.
loading an old save after talking with everyone makes jessica disappear and only way I managed to get her is by random chance in the bath when I checked every available corner of the house and town for a week or so
Nobody has disappeared as that's literally not something the code can do. Jessica has always been hard to find in Act Three - she shows up in the bathroom on WEDNESDAY MORNING and at the front door on SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The next update (next week) will add a lot more spawn locations for her so she's not so hard to find. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I don't know if it's is my phone or the Game but the war map I just so slow, I can't even close it and clicking on one district can go up to 2 minutes before it shows itself, I don't know why this happens, everything else runs normally
That's definitely your phone. The war map is just a basic imagemap so there's no reason it would slow anything down. Try turning your device off completely and back on again - sounds cliché, but it honestly fixes 90% of reported weirdness.
i was waiting to play after this update, but now i think i will restart the game, so i can have the progression the way it shoud be
I hope the replay isn't too tedious!
Please add an option to skip everything forward until you have to choose anything
There is a setting that allows you to skip unseen text
That's already in the game and has been since it was first released over three years ago ;P
If you're on Android, tap "skip"
If you're on anything else, hit TAB.
Completely unrelated, but is there any way to make Veronica get along with Madison, without her being all "haha I'm in charge now you old hag" and stuff?
Nope! You can't undo that kind of upbringing in such a short amount of time. Maybe she'll have a better relationship with her mother in the sequel :)
Aw, that's a shame... It's honestly kinduva turn-off for me, since the two of them are basically exactly the same (if anything, Madison is actually a little sweeter) as each other, so it's annoying that Veronica acts the way she does towards her mother. I mean they're both still great and all, but that's a bit of a disappointment all the same.
oh never, it was my 4th time replaying actually lol
Thought I’d missed something as I was unable to progress after the first area but, all good. Everything is under control. Would recommend adding an “unavailable in this build” flag for the appropriate districts in the next update.
Other than that and just being a bit nervous about choices in the chapter transition, this is looking pretty nice. Was definitely worth the little bit extra wait. Looking forward to what comes next.
There's 40+ districts and I didn't have time to cover all of them, haha, but I'll make it more obvious for the next update for sure.
Glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you continue to enjoy what I have planned for the future! :)
We all knew this was a massive update, it’s no biggie, some rough edges were always going to be left. I just got a bit confused and thought I might have soft-locked for a while XD
i think jessica is haunting me after every dialouge box lol.
no its before every starting dialouge box she just comes onto screen and then slides back, and it happens during battle as well
It's a weird thing with Ren'py that's showing up for some people - I'm in the process of tracking down the issue, sorry! :P

for those who use linux, the save file is in .renpy folder ( enable show hidden files) so just delete the old version first then extract the new version.
Please don't kill da ho, beetch.
Oooh new stuff! Gonna have to finish my latest play through to play it, but new stuff! And after
9 yearsabout a month,I hope it will be worth the wait. Now to play every game I have but this.so to overrite my old save file i need to wait a bit more? is that right ? and if so then i have to save on a new file correct until some updates later ? am i understanding it right ?
No, none of that is correct ;)
If you're on Android, just download and install as normal.
If you're on Windows, Linux or Mac then download the update file and extract it to a brand-new folder (do not overwrite the old folder) and play. The game will transfer your saves automatically :)
