Btw you can make different difficulties like normal cultivator(current) and MC(which gets more stat points in the beginning and a chosen super power like super talent or a reincarnation system) and absolute GOD(which gets all maximum stats and all the super powers) you should also add weak and powerful masters and special cultivating and fighting techniques!
Maybe also add dungeons and options to forfeit the sect and join another and more options to stop slavery or start slaving people!
I just thought that since it's a world where the strong eat the weak the MC could adapt to there ideas about slavery but I guess it would be more interesting if the MC fought against slavery (AKA thousands of years of traditions)
btw bro if you need help developing the game I could be your man cause I've been studying ALOT lately so if you want just reply here and I will send you my discord or whatever!
(Oh and when I say studying I mean programming and learning computer languages)
Thanks for the offers. But this project is also my way of learning programming and game dev. I'm gonna keep doing this on my own to level up my game dev and programming skill.
Maybe we can do something in the future together for something bigger 😊
M'lord, it would be my most honest appreciation and gratitude if you could enlighten this humble soul about the date of the next update of yer most wonderful masterpiece, Xianxia simulator !
Q: Do you have a Subscribestar or a patreon? It is a lot better for recurrent subs, and I want to support it.
A: Unfortunately I don't have Subscribestar. I do have Patreon, but I don't use it because I prefer Ko-Fi. They're just nicer to small creator. You can support me with Ko-Fi here. It would really help out.
Q: slave event, it forces "make a choice", but there is no choice offered (I failed both Charm and whatever second check was)
A: If you're asking about getting "decision-locked", then depending on your resolution, it might be hidden under the toolbar. For this version, you can hide the toolbar using keyboard shortcut "H" or even change the text size using the "setting".
Q: on slave event, to not intervene. Being forced into a scenario is really something game should avoid.
A: Almost all event still need to be improved, so yeah, there will be choice in the future. Including the servant event. Even the stat check was a new improved thing from the previous version. Hopefully, it will be more robust and better as I keep working on the game.
Q: will we have a proper protagonist superpower for cultivation, or is it a "normal" cultivator simulator? Both can be fun.
A: In the future (not sure when), you will have the options to pick which one you prefer. But the "Novel MC" route would have harder difficulty.
Q: somehow highlight save button? I am still not sure how to save.
A: You can only save in your "home" screen. It should be screen with Your Name - Year.
Seen it on reddit. Have a potential but its too hard dude i cant pass 5th stage. You should definitly add rebirth mechanic that gives game rogulike mechanic. Waiting for new uptades...
The game is hard, but some testers do reached the max cultivation stage for v.0.1 version (which is 7th stage of Qi Condensation). To be fair, I also only managed to reach 6th on my best run. But there are better players than me 😊
Rebirth mechanic is planned, but still far in the future. I am doing this in my spare time. Still need to learn more game design and programming, and add more things to the game before I reach that.
spend all points on your root and one on comprehension, get the manual to level 3 as soon as possible, max your sanity and do enought missions to have always 3 points, after you maxed your sanity just put 30/50 days to mantain it and try not doing quests that require sanity, spend all the time you have remaining on cultivating and save every so that when the waterfall event happens you can load back and try it again till you don't succed in gaining the bonus
P.S breaktrought as soon as possible, you can load the previos save to try till you don't succed
This is very neat. I look forward to when the reincarnation/new game + is added. The idea of starting with someone who lacks skill at most things and then building them up over multiple lives seems fun and an excellent way to provide a balance between the desire to play someone powerful and the practicality of starting weak.
I loved the new update, now the game is coming along perfectly! I look forward to a future where i will be a badass immortal, also i found a bug, in the event where the servant is getting a beating and you can try to speak up, try diplomacy or do nothing, if you do nothing the game keeps telling you to choose an option, but you already chose one, so you get locked without being able to progress
Ah, its probably because you need to pick the option "continue". It might hidden under the toolbar or something like that. You can press "h" to hide it 😊
On the top bar, on the link called "shortcut" there's a list of keyboard shortcut you can use.
If you're using mobile or something, other players reported they could fix this by changing the font size.
I apologize for the bug but yeah, the UI will get more polish in the future updates 😊
Wabbit, the game is solid. Sad that I can't pick a bit more about how my character appears, outside of fate point allocation (and that is only with pretty or ugly, not height or hair stuff); outside of that, Mentality is much better, thank you so much for making it easier not to go insane.
I do have a question about what Body has to apply to; as I started, my points (money) were super low for any Physical challenges, and though I spent 30+ years getting my Mentality up and was Green on everything, and even had fifty-fifty on breakthrough it didn't seem to apply to any of the challenges and felt like I should have spent more of my time or points on Mentality or Potentially.
With that aside, it is very clean. Love the style you've built, and can't wait for the next update!
Height and most genetic material would always be randomize. But... I might consider if we should have a randomize button that allows player could just randomize over and over again, to get the description that they want.
Hairstyle... I could put a way to customize that in the future. Not sure when, but this should be doable. Probably about the same time when I start adding clothing.
Body applies to all things Physical. That includes, basic lifespan, your physical stat, and some event check.
Potential atm affects how fast you cultivate, your breakthrough chance and your qi growth. In the future, it will become even more important.
I have a lot of plan for the game, but I'm still learning things. Hopefully, I could make it better in the future 😊
give us a slight bit more points , or maybe add a console cheatcode to add them since i wanna be an average xianxia protag in something but not be as dumb as a brick in comprehension
I really like this, i needed a xianxia game for ages and now there is one! So i'm really looking forward to where this goes, finished one playthrough and despite how bare bones the content is, i really see the potential So please please please don't give up on this game, the world needs a game like this
Here's a few suggestions i'd like to point out based on my playthrough, sorry if any of these are included in the roadmap:
1. add how much your stats actually changed at the end of the year window, like sure, i can check it myself, but alot more convinient either way.
2. add tooltips or slight explanations for what the stats do and what activities they are utilized for.
3. Display the lifespan of a character.
4. Add enlightment events when you allocate time for cultivation, like gaining elightment increases progress more, and the lower your mind is, the less chance of this happening.
5. Make it so the success rate of the assignments changes based on your stats, and make difficulty levels for them, so higher difficulty as a result of lower stats means less chance at success.
6. Psyche and comprehension could be one stat as "intelligence", that affects the same stuff both the stats did, adding onto that, add a 'mental state' or 'mood' attribute instead, which will actually influence breakthrough chance
1. It's already on the plan. I probably gonna add this on v.0.1.2.
2. We have tooltip in v.0.1.1 (which in closed testing phase), although just the very basic of it. I will improve it more on v.0.1.2
3. Also already on v.0.1.1 😊
4. This is an interesting idea. I'll try to figure out the design for it. Thank you for the suggestion.
5. This is also on the plan. Might be in v.0.1.2 or the next after.
6. Psyche and comprehension is a bit different. Psyche is somewhat similar to Willpower while Comprehension is Intelligent. And psyche would affect your divine sense, which in the future would have higher role to play. While comprehension might also have other mechanic that I'm planning to add in the future. So those two need to be different.
Mental State (we already have that in the game) is major influence in breakthrough chance. Which is I always recommend player to try to have a decent mental state.
But yeah, thank you so much for giving an in depth suggestion. I hope you'll keep coming back for future updates 👍
You don't have to restart, you just have to pick one of the option. If you can't see it because its hidden under the toolbar or something like that, you can press "h" to hide it 😊
On the top bar, on the link called "shortcut" there's a list of keyboard shortcut you can use.
Hello, I'm having the same problem: I already picked one option and finished the encounter, but when I click the continue button it still tells me to pick an option.
Did you scroll down to check if there's another option (usually "continue") and press "h" to hide the toolbar? If yes, can you post the screenshot here?
Didn't realize I forgot to reply haha, I was on mobile so hiding the toolbar isn't possible but I played around with the setting and figured it out myself. (If anyone else needs it, change the font size to 140% and the "continue" option will peek out a bit behind the toolbar.) Thanks for answering! I had fun with what's been added, can't wait for the next update!
i've left this to develop for half a year i hope it got the updates we commented gonna try it out but thank you developer for everything you have done till now hope you are well
Not really sure how to answer that. Because as the developer, I can't really be objective. Code-wise, is much bigger in comparison to the v.0.0.6. But yeah, you would get better answer from testers and supporters concerning this :)
Yeah, it's more because my old laptop just broke. It was so old that the repair shop had to hunt for cannibalized part from other broken laptop. That took months. And when that was done, I just went back to close door cultivation and worked on v.0.1
This game probably never gonna be on steam, it should be free whenever its ready. But if I make another game, I might put it on steam :)
Managing my mood is such a pain. I try to leave enough time aside for mental health, but no matter what I do I keep falling into depression. Sometimes I manage to recover, but only by completely stalling everything else I try to do. And often as not, even those extreme measures don't seem to do anything.
To be clear: While I do have depression and it is a pain, I was mostly describing a game issue and then making a bait-and-switch joke about my mental health.
Oh, I was talking about the game too, not an actual depression (now I'm really sorry).
Because I myself struggle with the game (I do play my own game). And while I realized it was hard, I like the challenge and decided not to dwell on it and put it on the list of things to be added for the next version.
So, yeah the next v.0.1 has a different mechanic than v.0.0.6 for Mental State. Hopefully you will like the change.
How many stages of cultivation will there be approximately?
In v.0.06 (public build), normally people could reach 4th stage of Qi Condensation. In v.0.1, you could reach 7th stage. In the future, the plan is about Deity Transformation.
And are there plans to introduce alchemy?
Yes, but I do have that as some kind of wish list for the future. Still a bit far. Hopefully I could add it to the game as long I keep working on the game :)
In v.0.0.6 (which the public version), level 5th is the cap and your cultivation is determine by your mood, current cultivation stage (the higher, the harder it is) and RNG. It would be different in the next version (v.0.1).

I don't know if I'm really bad at this game or it's just hard.
How long until the next update. I'm excited for the next updates, keep up the great work.
how long does Jade Vitality Herb make you live for?
I bought it when i was 74 and died at 96
I bought all 3 and died at 90 TT
Hey captain, what is the current cultivation cap?
im confuse how do to the next qi stage? TT, can anyone explain to me?
Btw you can make different difficulties like normal cultivator(current) and MC(which gets more stat points in the beginning and a chosen super power like super talent or a reincarnation system) and absolute GOD(which gets all maximum stats and all the super powers) you should also add weak and powerful masters and special cultivating and fighting techniques!
Maybe also add dungeons and options to forfeit the sect and join another and more options to stop slavery or start slaving people!
All of that is in the plan, just need to put it in the game. Probably not the slaving people but yes to other things😊
I just thought that since it's a world where the strong eat the weak the MC could adapt to there ideas about slavery but I guess it would be more interesting if the MC fought against slavery (AKA thousands of years of traditions)
Great idea would be great if it was added in the next update
btw bro if you need help developing the game I could be your man cause I've been studying ALOT lately so if you want just reply here and I will send you my discord or whatever!
(Oh and when I say studying I mean programming and learning computer languages)
Thanks for the offers. But this project is also my way of learning programming and game dev. I'm gonna keep doing this on my own to level up my game dev and programming skill.

Dude I don't know why but you are really kind and humble....I will be watching your progress
M'lord, it would be my most honest appreciation and gratitude if you could enlighten this humble soul about the date of the next update of yer most wonderful masterpiece, Xianxia simulator !
Still a bit long because atm its very hectic at work and I've been stuck in never-ending overtime cycle. And the next update is another big update.
JUST CHECKED AND IT WAS UPDATED BASED?!
WHY ARE YOU USING FULL CAPS and what do you mean?
Please fix the problem when time in negative.
There is a button for bug report
This is beautiful. Do you have a Subscribestar or a patreon? It is a lot better for recurrent subs, and I want to support it.
Also, how do I progress after level 2 of breathing cultivation?
Bugs:
- slave event, it forces "make a choice", but there is no choice offered (I failed both Charm and whatever second check was)
Requests:
- on slave event, to not intervene. Being forced into a scenario is really something game should avoid.
- will we have a proper protagonist superpower for cultivation, or is it a "normal" cultivator simulator? Both can be fun.
- somehow highlight save button? I am still not sure how to save.
Thank you for the kind word 😉
Q: Do you have a Subscribestar or a patreon? It is a lot better for recurrent subs, and I want to support it.

Thank you for the answer.
Though,
> Novel MC
> hard difficulty
Made me laugh a bit.
yooo Captain Wabbit this update is amazing like really great job made the game look completely different 😁
thank you for saying that 😊
Seen it on reddit. Have a potential but its too hard dude i cant pass 5th stage. You should definitly add rebirth mechanic that gives game rogulike mechanic. Waiting for new uptades...
And i forgot to say i cant find the saving option.
You can find the save option, only at your "Home" screen and no other place.
The game is hard, but some testers do reached the max cultivation stage for v.0.1 version (which is 7th stage of Qi Condensation). To be fair, I also only managed to reach 6th on my best run. But there are better players than me 😊
Rebirth mechanic is planned, but still far in the future. I am doing this in my spare time. Still need to learn more game design and programming, and add more things to the game before I reach that.
You can add something like for every stage you achieved you have 1 more extra point for next run.
spend all points on your root and one on comprehension, get the manual to level 3 as soon as possible, max your sanity and do enought missions to have always 3 points, after you maxed your sanity just put 30/50 days to mantain it and try not doing quests that require sanity, spend all the time you have remaining on cultivating and save every so that when the waterfall event happens you can load back and try it again till you don't succed in gaining the bonus
P.S breaktrought as soon as possible, you can load the previos save to try till you don't succed
Wow, that's almost a one to one of what I did, that's weird to see to be honest
To reach qi gathering 7 this is one of the only metods so it makes sense
Also what country do you live in
Will you update your game further? if yes then
When will you update your game?
Will there be different events for the holidays?
Will the sidequests be updated (added/given purpose) and is the sword obtainable?
Yes, I will update the game. I'm already in process developing the next update. But I don't know when.
i think i could get to 6th level if i really tried
Captain Wabbit, what determines your lifespan?
Also, is the effect of Qi-Blossom Petal permanent or is it just for a single one?
Just a single use. And the higher your cultivation stage, the effect would decrease.
Your Body attribute. And you get a slight increase every time you breakthrough to another stage.
Barely got to 4th qi condensation then my character went 💀
Oh finally another martial art and cultivation based game beside POMA
Would love to see how it goes
What is POMA
Path of Martial arts
This is very neat. I look forward to when the reincarnation/new game + is added. The idea of starting with someone who lacks skill at most things and then building them up over multiple lives seems fun and an excellent way to provide a balance between the desire to play someone powerful and the practicality of starting weak.
I loved the new update, now the game is coming along perfectly!

How much lifespan does the herb increase?
it's not fixed, it varies depending on your physical attribute and other factors. the better your physical, the better the effects.
Wabbit, the game is solid. Sad that I can't pick a bit more about how my character appears, outside of fate point allocation (and that is only with pretty or ugly, not height or hair stuff); outside of that, Mentality is much better, thank you so much for making it easier not to go insane.

GREAT UPDATE💥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I want to add this meme: SKIBIDI TOILET WISER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN
thank you 😊
I really like this, i needed a xianxia game for ages and now there is one!
So i'm really looking forward to where this goes, finished one playthrough and despite how bare bones the content is, i really see the potential

Anyways, good luck at development!
Thank you for trying out the game 😊
And for the suggestion :
1. It's already on the plan. I probably gonna add this on v.0.1.2.
2. We have tooltip in v.0.1.1 (which in closed testing phase), although just the very basic of it. I will improve it more on v.0.1.2

But yeah, thank you so much for giving an in depth suggestion. I hope you'll keep coming back for future updates 👍
Keep getting locked in a decision path with now way out or action to take forcing me to restart
You don't have to restart, you just have to pick one of the option. If you can't see it because its hidden under the toolbar or something like that, you can press "h" to hide it 😊
On the top bar, on the link called "shortcut" there's a list of keyboard shortcut you can use.

Did you scroll down to check if there's another option (usually "continue") and press "h" to hide the toolbar? If yes, can you post the screenshot here?
thanks the h worked
nice 👍
this problem would be fixed in v.0.11 and player don't need to have to hide the toolbar.
Didn't realize I forgot to reply haha, I was on mobile so hiding the toolbar isn't possible but I played around with the setting and figured it out myself. (If anyone else needs it, change the font size to 140% and the "continue" option will peek out a bit behind the toolbar.) Thanks for answering! I had fun with what's been added, can't wait for the next update!
you really do just need to hit h and its fixed
I can't use shortcuts on mobile but I've figured it out now. Thanks for replying!
the mood system make the game to hard can u lower the speed of the mood changes besides that the game is great can wait for more updates :)
yeah, that's gonna change in the incoming update 😁 The public release of v.0.1 will be up in a week or so.
yay
Hell yes, solid stuff Cpt. Wabbit. Keep up the good work
thank you 😊
the v.0.1 is out if you want to try it 😊
There's not much to do yet but I like the concept. I'll definitely play the new version when it goes public, keep up the good work!
i've left this to develop for half a year i hope it got the updates we commented gonna try it out but thank you developer for everything you have done till now hope you are well
just curious. how much content does 0.1 have compared to the demo 0.0.6 ?
Not really sure how to answer that. Because as the developer, I can't really be objective. Code-wise, is much bigger in comparison to the v.0.0.6. But yeah, you would get better answer from testers and supporters concerning this :)
You can also check the change log for v.0.1
ty!
Wow man, you're alive after nearly 1 year of silence. Hope that your life is good now. Be happy and Healthy(especially). I like what you do!
I'm looking forward to the progress and hope for the game to be released on Steam someday.
Oh that's so nice. Thank you for saying that.
Yeah, it's more because my old laptop just broke. It was so old that the repair shop had to hunt for cannibalized part from other broken laptop. That took months. And when that was done, I just went back to close door cultivation and worked on v.0.1
This game probably never gonna be on steam, it should be free whenever its ready. But if I make another game, I might put it on steam :)
When will the next version drop
When it's ready. You're welcome to become a supporter and try it now if you want :)
Will i wanted at least to know will it drop soon or later but Ty for caring
I'm sorry I can't give you estimation, that's just the nature of hobbyist game dev working full time job. Hopefully soon :)
Managing my mood is such a pain. I try to leave enough time aside for mental health, but no matter what I do I keep falling into depression. Sometimes I manage to recover, but only by completely stalling everything else I try to do. And often as not, even those extreme measures don't seem to do anything.
I'm having similar problems in the game.
I'm sorry to hear that. It is a pain. Even I myself struggled with it.
It was a game design decision I made because of my inexperience when I worked on that version. It would change in the next version.
To be clear: While I do have depression and it is a pain, I was mostly describing a game issue and then making a bait-and-switch joke about my mental health.
Oh, I was talking about the game too, not an actual depression (now I'm really sorry).
Because I myself struggle with the game (I do play my own game). And while I realized it was hard, I like the challenge and decided not to dwell on it and put it on the list of things to be added for the next version.
So, yeah the next v.0.1 has a different mechanic than v.0.0.6 for Mental State. Hopefully you will like the change.
Can you DM me the test game pls pls
Unfortunately, the registration for testing phase already closed. You can read here for more details.
How many stages of cultivation will there be approximately? And are there plans to introduce alchemy?
How many stages of cultivation will there be approximately?
In v.0.06 (public build), normally people could reach 4th stage of Qi Condensation. In v.0.1, you could reach 7th stage. In the future, the plan is about Deity Transformation.
And are there plans to introduce alchemy?
Yes, but I do have that as some kind of wish list for the future. Still a bit far. Hopefully I could add it to the game as long I keep working on the game :)
if i become a inner sect disciple will i be able to play the v0.1 ?
yes :)
Is there an opportunity to increase your level after the 5th stage?
What determines the success of cultivation?
In v.0.0.6 (which the public version), level 5th is the cap and your cultivation is determine by your mood, current cultivation stage (the higher, the harder it is) and RNG. It would be different in the next version (v.0.1).
i love this game
thank you so much for saying that. I'm glad you like the game :)
I have followed you on twitter and want to play-test v0.1, can I have access?
Will the character always die of old age is there a way to stop it?
In v0.0.6, unfortunately no. Lifespan is hardcoded. It changed in v0.1, but still experimental and I need to balance it.
