ahhhhh this was so good: I can’t wait for the full release! My favourite character so far is definitely Mayor E.... She’s just like me for real (I also get very easily-distracted and excited about things....)!
If you're on a Windows desktop, you need to unzip the .zip file. This is usually done by simply right clicking the selecting, "Extract" and then once you have that folder on your computer, you click the .exe that's located inside. (This is a very common procedure for games hosted on Itchio, I promise my game isn't special.) That should be all you need to do!
Next time, try a quick Google search first! 😂 You'd be surprised how much you can learn by just poking around the web!
Hey. First off. I want to say that I love your Solanaceae comic on Tapas and I also love your artstyle. Also, is there an order on if you must read the comic first and then play the games or does the order not matter? Wanted to ask this last year but was too shy to ask and wasn't sure if it was a stupid question to ask
Since the whole story isn't complete yet, right now there isn't really one "right" or "wrong" way to read the story-- especially not if you don't care about spoilers or reveals.
The Steam and Itchio versions don't have any content differences. You choose to either play the game NSFW or SFW within the game itself. (It is one of the first screens you ever seen upon booting up the game.) Have fun!
This is a very awesome concept. I really like the world and characters. I like the mc's idea of breaking convention to make his own coven. His brother is so cute!!! And the music is very relaxing too. Very nice UI
promising i played it through in one sit definitely wished there was more naughty content but im into the story and characters hope to catch this in later development!
If you're looking for a game that is sex 24/7, this one isn't it! It's about 1-2 new sex scenes per chapter and will have about ~11 or so sex scenes in total by the time it's all completed. Yes! Sex is a major part of their relationship, but I would be lying if I ever called this game purely a porn game. It's more like, a story I wanted to tell that happens to have sex in it.
Found myself unable to put down the game until it frustrated me a bit, lmao. I love the artstyle, the writing, all of it! The characters are so cute too :) I love Battam and Satine especially, but all of them are written so well! The side quests ended up making me upset because I couldn't figure out what they wanted or the second NSFW route </3 But I still heavily enjoyed the game! And the comics, too. I originally found you from gummy and the doctor and decided I liked your style, so I got into the solanaceae comics then found myself downloading the game! I'll totally be buying the full release :)
My bad, one of these things is very much me not making some of the boundaries of the game clear in this early access version-- some of the items you CANNOT GET YET so don't worry, it's not you missing them, it's genuinely just, "They aren't coded yet, sorry!" I didn't expect folks to look so hard for stuff so I just never put in a little warning about that, aha! Next time, I'll be more careful.
The second NSFW scene should be easy enough to unlock though? It's between Enokky and Satine in Morel City, all you gotta do is finish that chapter and than ask him what's going on. It's possible though that I fucked up the coding so I'll make sure to double check that if you've done all those things and still haven't jumped there and got it.
And hey! Thanks so much for checking out my work! I'm widdling away at the full release for this and PHEW there's still a lot of stuff but I think if you like this little taste, the full version will be much better! And, hopefully nothing will be frustrating! I try to make my games satisfying but not difficult: just enough to feel like you're putting something in and getting something good out.
(Maybe I'll make a check-list of sex scenes in game or something so folks don't miss them, aha! Soooo many checklists to make by the end of this!)
Oh! And if you like Gummy and the Doctor, you should def check out the writer's account here! She is *the* reason the show is as fun as it is and all her other work is super great: https://cmakesp.itch.io/
Hi, I just finished a play through of all the SFW portion (apparently I wasn't hunting hard enough for the NSFW, and now I'm going to go back in!)
Oh, uh, slight spoilers in this comment. I'll try and keep things vague.
One suggestion that I had, and feel free to ignore me if you're doing what you're doing on purpose. But I feel like I would appreciate having an indication of characters pronouns when they're speaking. I love all the character designs and how androgynous so many characters are and everything. It's just even in these 3 chapters there were several times where I had no idea the gender of the characters and then was surprised when I finally got the "he" "she" or "they" from the description. I think the 2nd chapter with the love triangle really confused me because I first thought they were all men, and then thought only one was a woman. And it was quite a ways through that chapter before the description told me what Kale's gender is.
I know there are a lot of factors with this, the heavy jackets characters wear, and my own preconceptions. I just thought maybe some little sign after the character's name or some earlier indication would be helpful as we meet these characters. But like I said, if this is something you've built in on purpose, then feel free to ignore me!
Overall, I loved this game! I honestly delayed playing through the chapters because I just love foraging for berries and fish etc. I just kept gathering and then baking bread and roasting fish. I love how chill and stress free it is, easy to pick up and put down. And obviously the art everywhere is gorgeous! You have such a cute style and it works so well with this kind of game. I can't wait to play more and grow this coven family ❤️❤️❤️
I hope we get some fun romance(s) for Satine because they are my sweet, sweet baby and I love them! They deserve the world.
Thanka for making this awesome game. I can't wait for more! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, the NSFW scenes usually require re-visiting areas that you've finished the chapter in. I think I'll need to add some sort of better indicator of this, hmm... I thought having to do fetch quests in each finished area would help but maybe not...
While pronoun indicators for every scene are useful for a lot of games (and I think they are generally a force for good) I don't think it's going to fit this game for multiple reasons. (At least not as a default option.) I could go on and on, but the biggest one is simply one you said yourself: the game does eventually tell you the pronouns of each character, you just have to wait a little bit and keep reading. (And also, you're the first person to have assumed Kale *or* Chardra were not female in any way, so I do think there might be some examining to do there, yeah. Not all female characters need to have overly "feminine" designs or faces to be female or assumed female, and I pride myself on my big and/or dorky girls.)
But, secondly, it's simply going to make some translating down the line very difficult. (Non-English languages have some issues with they/them and some languages don't even have pronouns like we think of them.)
If other folks ask and keep asking, I may consider adding it, but it will not be default to the game. Especially because I feel this will undermine some of the many, MANY conversations about the trans experience this game has on offer. For me, it's also okay to leave some NPCs ambiguous, as some genuinely have non-labeled or genderfluid identities. It's okay not to know someone's pronouns or gender right off the bat, I think. Just like it's okay not to know everything about someone's sexuality right off the bat. It's okay to let the game try to show and teach you things about the world instead of me hand feeding even more than I already do, aha.
Lastly, to be fully transparent, you will not be seeing any "romances" for Satine because Satine isn't someone who tends to do long term romantic partnerships. But, you will see Satine fuck a lot of people and make a lot of friends. ;) Kissy, lovey dovey stuff will mostly come from Sal and Battam. 💕
Thanks for checking out the game so far and thanks for your thoughtful comment! I really do appreciate it!
They simply aren't in the game yet-- sorry! That's my bad for not making it more clear! This is an Early Access version so some stuff is just hinted at for now. Everything will be available in the full version when it's finally finished. Thanks!
So there is this bug in the intro where pictures overlap and i think i have an idea why it happens , i haven't seen the code but I'm guessing that when that text shows up a picture representing the magic type appears at set coordinates ( mineral magic - left bottom , mucus - left top , vapor blah blah - right top and water right bottom) and starts moving in a selected way. And location for the picture shows up at is same no matter what, but the time at which it'll will be different each time , because people read at different speed ( and yeah it still happens on auto).
So my suggestion is (if its possible with what ur using) at first spawn pixels, all four at the same time (together with the witch maybe), and change them to magic representing picture later .
Like u have 4 pixels spinning and then when text mentions , for example, mineral magic that pixel that originally spawned at left bottom will change into the picture of a glass or whatever that was.
Sorry if the explanation is hard to understand , im not really good with forming my thoughts + english isn't my first language but i hope it helps if that's what the problem is
(Btw it'd be kinda good to have an ability to unselect the stuff we gather since we have a limit to what we can collect)
thanks for the suggestion! This is the type of solution I tried once but couldn't get working. It isn't a much of like, lack of ideas as it is lack of skill in coding haha. I'm not a coder I'm just an artist who happens to need to code sometimes, so I've got some pretty clear places where I'm lacking haha.
If you have any specific recommendations for code, I would appreciate it. This game runs in renpy just FYI so it would need to be compatible with that. No worries if not, I'm just not above asking for help heh
And yes. Deselecting things is a feature we plan on adding (wish I had a good way to let folks know what we are already working on but even if I kept a list folks would still suggest it heh) so yeah that is coming thanks for your patience !!! ❤
hello! I was playing the new chapters (which are wonderful by the way, great job!), and I noticed a few bugs, first was in the introduction when the types of magic are explained, when the rappresentations of the kinds of magic were displayed the mineral and water magic images ended up overlapping.
as for the other one, when mayor E was telling battam of the price of the land she ended up saying "200,5,00" I don't think that comma (is that how it's called in english?) was supposed to be there.
also I may have two suggestions if they're welcome, it would be nice if the cursor was customized (I mean if it was drawn in the game style, english isn't my first language and I'm having difficulty explaining this, sorry if it's not clear), the second suggestion is very silly and about a little black cat in the bacground, close to the restaurant, while I was playing I thought it'd be cute if you could click on the cat and it meowed to us.
hah turned out to be longer than expected but that's all! have a nice day! very excited to play the full game, it looks really good right now!
Thanks! The first bug is known and I have no idea how to fix it (lol, I am very bad at coding, but it'll be figured out at some point I'm sure) and the second typo has already been brought up and fixed in my version of the game.
I did have ideas for a custom cursor but there are some issues that come with that-- so it has to be something that can be disabled or enabled since that type of thing can cause a big slow down on some computer's with Renpy and the way the system is all set up. So, tentative yes but I can't promise good performance (again, I am bad with coding lol but I'll do my best) and about the cat-- I'll think about it! I'm trying not to put in too many clickables atm but this sounds like a fine easter egg. Thanks!
Already a massive fan of the other parts of the story but a game with so many things I enjoy could only be amazing! The potion making and the character interactions and the art and tHE SEX!!! THE AMAZING SEX! I just love all of your content but I want to stress that even as an unfinished product I felt sad when I got to the end of the content you had ready, it was so much fun I just wanted more! Excited to see more of Satine's journey and to see more of Nãm 💞
I fell in love with the stunningly drawn world and cute charakters. The music and the art pull you in a world of magic. The conversations felt rich and gave a good view on each characters personality all while bringing the story forward. I absolutely love that you can level up charakters friendships and the conversations outside of the story quest. It's visable how much love and hard work the creator put in it.
Does anyone know what you need to give to the bratty sales associate(I think that's her name)? I'm stuck on what I need to get her because I went through her dialogue too fast T.T
Sorry, this is an issue that's gonna get fixed later on with a quest log being added-- but at current, you can still check the "history" tab for all dialogue you've been in game, if you check the in game menu it should be there. That's a built in feature with all games made in this engine actually!
Anyways, she wants spicy noodles and a cleaning potion! Good luck!
Sorry to bug you again, but where do you get the tomato and shrimp? I think I've looked everywhere but I can't find them when gathering or get them from the shops. I might replay if I can't find them just to see if I missed something
I don't think tomato and shrimp are in the game yet-- sorry! Some items just aren't available in this version because well, I still have stuff I need to work on and implement and this version had to end SOMEWHERE. I left those in as teasers for stuff to come but I think they just serve to confuse people, oops! Sorry! The Early Access will be getting some updates, but I *don't* think it's going to be getting very many story updates, just mechanical stuff-- but the eventual full version will obviously have everything, it just won't be free.
I am so hyped for every update <3 I just love to know more about everyone and I'm so into Sal... i would die for them. Also your artstyle is gorgeous. I already miss them all so much because I already played through 2 times T.T guilty... ^^"
Aw, thank you! Seeing you played through 2 times already is super encouraging-- thank you! There's def gonna be way, way more story (seriously, this game is the most I've ever written) so I think if you're enjoying that part you're gonna be happy with the final release! THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENT!

But, if you are curious about the order of things, I actually have things listed in order here: https://itch.io/c/665291/solanaceae-series
Happy reading!
i've read and love the comics. im installing the game through Steam and was wondering if i was downloading the Nsfw or the sfw version

I make comics of these two and even have another (much smaller and older) game with some sex in it. Enjoy and thanks again!

Aw, gosh! THANK YOU!
Satine will have so much good stuff in this game, just wait and see! I'm very excited!
