As a positive I really wanted to mention.. I appreciate the variation you've put into the gender exploration. The nb options go from neither to both to more femme or masculine leaning across the spectrum and I adore it so much! It must have been a lot of work to code all the intricacies, but it's so dearly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi, just a bug sort of. If you do the subtle flirts with Gawain and then tell Accolon about it, later that day you still wonder what it might mean with your dragon, despite just having solved that question earlier and you settle on nervous stomach or something again. I think the timing of those scenes is out of synch?


And when you meet Arthur you allude to seeing Accolon vaguely in the morning instead of the entire outing. I think it takes it that you went with Accolon to the fair the day before? The cut after Accolon's talk with you and you going out to buy sweets does not make it clear and is only implied by the fact that you apparently spend the morning with your dragon potentially meeting Galahad and spending time "till afternoon" as you did before with Accolon. But then it also says you met Gawain in the dragon lounge last night, which was before meeting Accolon. You might have to sort out which pocket dimension day our walk and talk with him belong to.. it gets a bit confusing to order the events.

I replayed from the beginning, so it took me a bit of time, but I do love the main story development. Hermes going senile is an easy explanation for the way he talks about his old man, which could be Zeus, but also Poseidon and how he seems to get father figures confused. Might be why he had this whole weird confusion about Clemént or not? Old crazy men all overlapping in his memory? I'm a little curious how things are going to play out, bc retrieving the god's ichor that made the realm, would not JUST set Asterion free, it would unravel the realm itself, wouldn't it? No more magic hotel, no more immortal coil. Or is the realm's magic wholly it's own? Or are the seven monsters just seven of the twelve and the rest of them would still uphold the realm? I guess this is what Hermes meant with opening up negotiations. 

The thing I'm a bit sad about is the lack of time for side quests. And I mean in the hotel, not the Hinterlands stuff. I barely even managed to recruit Robert ("we could use some help with some contract stuff" he says to the demon *laughing so hard*) and have a talk with the characters maybe three times or so and get just a bit started on Asterion's project. I think spending a day with Themba before and after Pedro comes in would be quite different and I feel sad that I missed out, bc I was trying to get the gym project done first and left Themba in R&D. Having Khenbish cook up some food to help with the explorer stats could come in handy before the main story progresses to the monster hunting and Nikos's scouting mission, too.
It's only been a couple of months or so, apparently, so I guess not everything is possible to do, but I hope that we can still have some time later to get to at least most of the extra content there. At the end of ch19 it just goes back to the title menu and we can't really try things out without going back to a save point or replaying and trying some different projects in the limited time breaks we have. There was a lot of dedication given to the Hinterland intermissions and Pedro and Oscar's story, but I think doing Kota's personal quest line or just getting to build that swimming pool while still finding the shades and hints in the explorations isn't boring either and I'd love some more time for it within the scope of the mainstory rather than having to tack it on, esp since it changes the flavor for the conversation scenes or the talks we have with Kota and the others noticably.

To reply to some other things, I also think that the gold armband is a promise of the master to protect Asterion from being in the valley against his will and that it comes with the responsibility to protect him from whoever else might try to force it. In that regard Asterion isn't easily forced by anyone other than his designated Master anyway and not that easy to trick either, so I don't think it's a big oversight or unfair. With power comes responsibility, and consequences. Not leaving himself any wiggle room was the master's way of showing sincerity after all that gained Asterion's trust here.

I also kinda look forward to Pedro's reaction to finding out that they can just conjure anything he might want/need. Or mostly anything, with the material restrictions there are. But a set of drums or a musical theater stage or soundproof studio room shouldn't be a problem. Although there is a point to him fulfilling his promise and finally being able to BUY something for his boyfriend, the way he really wanted to.

I'm really sad we have to kinda choose between the troubled peacock and the slightly traumatized snake boy. (Having to live rough in the valley, with magic contract or not *is* traumatizing, it's why Asterion hates it so much after all. And Argos running around with that pelt? yeah, there's a reason he broke down in sobs after getting just a couple hugs.) Technically the hotel should be large enough to accomodate both. Or at least have an outbuilding for Nikos to visit and stay, if he wants to go back home or to school. (Because I do not think Pedro is safe to leave alone and Oscar is not well equipped to care for him, money or not. At least not for a while. And he has to do that video game night with Themba, that was precious.) (Also, the paths were you don't get Themba and all that side business stuff is just not there? I can only ever play artist paths, bc I love Khenbish and he needs the help as much as the designated lounge manager does, but Themba brings so much story bits and helps Asterion make some peace with the past, that missing him is just not a viable option anymore.) So yeah, having both Khenbish and Themba AND Nikos and Pedro are just my greedy little heart wanting them all, bc if even just one is missing it feels like failure more than closure. Or in Themba's case, like missing a chance for Asterion to make peace with what happened and find the connection to the people he lost back then.

All in all great update, please gimme me more hotel business days to play more than one side quest in full and maybe a codex to help figure out how many notes or clay tablets and what not we are missing or looking for and I'll be perfectly happy and set to wait for ch20.

💕 I'm very much looking forward to replaying it all then and will just go the harlot route until then! Good health and energy levels, may the muses be with you guys!

no the vamp lady...............whose name is Evelyn? I'm sorry, I'm really bad with names, esp similar ones. but yeah. the interlude went by really fast with just some text about the dwarves unwilling to really cooperate and no romance, but if Viktor isn't implemented yet it's probably that. it felt a little weird to go a full new update with no sex scene at all. I do really like the story elements though, it never gets boring and still all fits into the world lore without feeling tagged on. Thanks for answering!

Other than the plot sequence there are no personal scenes. I was kind of trying to romance Viktor, so I have no other romance locked in, but shouldn't the threesome with Jeanne and Ellie show up at least? I just kinda read the dwarven village in a summary and then it's already the end with looking at the northern lights? Maybe I'm spoiled but it feels like something is missing.

I'm not complaining, the story is amazing, but if there's something that doesn't work it'd be a shame. I started from an old safe file, though that shouldn't be an issue?

often has to do with cookie enabling and browser settings, bc it works for me just fine. and there's no download version for tale of crowns as of now. 

go outside at night. and then open your bag? I don't remember but it wasn't complicated. you just need to have something to catch it in, talk to your teacher.

do.. do you know that arthurian tales are by a bunch of writers over different time periods and they all just hammered any legends together how they interpreted them and a lot of the writing can be interpreted as very homo erotic?? there's no original macho myth of the round table. also way more incest and man eating horses. and the knights end up in dresses fairly frequently at parties gone wrong.

that was said a day ago, so I'm guessing this IS the update. sorry to burst that bubble.

It looks really cute, but with my dingy old laptop the difficulty is too high, I'm not that fast with the button presses and all... and there's something every two steps. Would maybe be more fun with an actual controller. Still, music, art and atmosphere are all consistent and for people with faster fingers and more coordination on the keyboard this is probably easier and fun.
Also something is not quite right when I try to download the windows version, my winrar keeps telling me it can't unpack the file.

Thank you for fixing it so fast and no problem, please don't apologize! 👍

Uh I'm just a lil confused? I did another playthrough for Gus, but it still ends after we kick out Abel and hear a sound, same as last time? Or was there something in between I missed, bc I didn't find it?

If you talk with Nimue as a friend on the beach she only says Merlin doesn't trust Morgana either, but when you go to the dragon abode with Gawain at the feast and talk about Merlin, it still says "you wonder if she had given him the same warning", which at this point she hasn't done. Just a heads up!

I had the same problem today, but realoading the page (on laptop) solved the issue.

probably a bug with some saves influencing the dialogue... it worked for me. can't help with anything there, sorry, try deleting all saves/cache and restarting?

(1 edit)

then I don't understand your question.counting triangles? the 1 to 9 sequence? or just all of them? they can be googled if you really can't figure it out.

the numbers upside down. 

turn your monitor upside down and read it again.

how come the hardest thing in this game is fishing rather than anything else??? it takes forever to grind this.... T_T 

I like the charas so far though and had fun with.. everything other than fishing. X'D

he's still kinda an ass and not an especially good person. I don't mind it too much for now, since most people actually are, but I hope MC gets some character development, too in the end.

I also thought Chris was REALLY sus and I'm still not entirely sure if he's for real... xDD So yeah, I wouldn't have romanced him, so I'm not mourning his route.

I loved this so far, it's really enjoyable! I laughed at the tiny people sex position script and named the AI Sutra bc of it. What I like most though is probably the option to play around with your gender and fully make your own decisions about how to handle people, your kinks etc.
The purple eyes are suspicious and it's generally written so well that I'm curious about the world and the plot, driving me along, even if I have to farm for exp and go slower at times.
Question: does the AI get repaired further at some point? According to Arthur it might reset settings to meta human version... despite all the scary aliens, the idea of that slightly psychotic Shipcomputer switching sides on me is still scarier!


Thanks for making and sharing this, it has been a delight to play around with so far!

under your sketchbook, the upper drawer of that shelf. your crafting tools are in there.

writers-resources

there's a writer's lounge with all kinds of IF writers to share resources or try for betas etc. there. I'm not very good with deadlines and take way too long for most people to do the beta, but you might have better luck making some connections there? If you can't find anybody via tumblr or discord, you can message me again, but as I said, I'm very slow, so I'm reluctant to agree and then probably disappoint.

Holy cow! This is rough and needs a beta, but aside from the technicalities, the story drew me in instantly and I already adore the characters and hate that I can't choose more than one option. I loved the sibling hang out as much as the awkward 2 sentence exchange with N. And I want the pillows AND snacks. But I chose and the story went on and while the directly opposed sides are clear, you are per design stuck in the middle. It's awesome and I can't wait how our protagonist might be able to spin this! I hope you find one or two dedicated beta readers to help you edit and refine this gem to truly shine!

Count on it!^^ Thank you for listening and I'm curious to see how it pans out from here!

One comment, that might be a more opinionated thing, is that Margarete seems to be the type weary of romance due to her vast and bad experiences... at like 22? It's.. a little early in life to be that weary unless you had REALLY traumatizing experiences.Might just be me, bc 22 feels very young to me and they could have had maybe 5 years or so of romantic endeavors on the side...

Heya, I really enjoyed your demo, but there were a few points that could do with an edit/bug fix:

Pretty much first line: when you make your character it says "like you, they are a ...woman/man/trans/nb" and that is just not true, bc James is always a guy. It sounds like you are choosing their gender as well, which is sending a few mixed messages at first. Maybe word it a little more like "Without accounting for gender, they look just like you. You are ... " Or "There are only subtle differences in your looks, you are..... " and then maybe for the male choice as "both men"?

Second bigger thing: if you dance with Felix and then come back, the text says Anne is talking with Felix, rather than younger sibling F while you come back with him from the dancefloor for most of the scene. Maybe there's a variable flipped in the code somewhere?

Overall I really enjoyed the dialogue choices and I was positively delighted at the many many opportunities to hug people and show affection physically, bc that's usually just something awkward like putting your hand on their arm/shoulder (which personally, I always saw as a weird patronizing and stilted gesture rather than a comforting one). I am also very torn on who I want to romance first, because they are all equally delightful, but thankfully on itch I can just make save files for several MCs and all the different routes I play! Hell, yes!! Thank you for your work and sweat and tears!

exactly that! I did notice the areas, but couldn't make it.. but I haven't tried mouseclick navigation, so I'll do that next! Thank you for the reply, that was fast!^^

Heya, I've just found the game and tried it out, but now I'm stuck. In the sand valley underground bunker virtual reality, after disabling the second barrier, I can't pass the long stretch, bc even with running I can't reach a safe tile. Maybe the two turns make me too late? I've been trying a couple dozen times, but no dice, so I gave up for now. Am I missing a trick?? Other than that I've enjoyed the characters and quests so far and the overall tone of the narrative is cute. Thank you for sharing it!

Hey, I've played the game enthusiastically, but a couple times I found a typo and then wanted to read the rest more than write you about it and then forgot, but the first few times I tried to save I found an issue that's a bit more annoying:
the script color for the saves is black on black and you can't read it without manually highlighting, or at least I can't on PC. I keep confusing which save file is which and it takes a lot longer than it should to figure out where to save.


Could you please change the menu script color in the save box to something readable?

I will also probably post typos I notice here, so it's all in one place. (If anybody else wants to, as well, feel free.) See you next time, thank you for your work and time and for sharing this awesome game!

First, thank you so much for the game, it's a delight and I loved playing it! There are still a couple errors, though.

If you choose to fight the dragon in Asmad and sacrifice the Gaelans the dialogue triggers mostly correct, but before the summit when Lula reports it to the Matriarch, she still reports that prince Urnammu died.

The graphic for the cursor graphic(?) while selecting a choice is some weird pixel error as is the background that was reported in the screenshot above already.

Also, I think the ending scenes are switched? When I choose Divine War, the dialogue states that the divines aren't necessarily meant to be prayed to anymore, but that's it. When I choose Making a deal with the Divines/Asking for Mercy, there is talk of Eidolons attacking the borders, but no explanation why or what's happening.

Also, in the SFW version... it automatically selects the dialogue choices that decline sex and romance? Like, you choose to kiss them and flirt, but then the dialogue skips to rejected awkwardness and "not now" talk, which sometimes is a pretty severe mood change. And without the sex scenes it's apparently impossible to opt for the poly, bc Virion is automatically friendzoned and only Argandea is a romance choice in the end, even though I've picked literally every flirt choice I could with him (or well, both). In the last game it just left out the graphic scenes, but it was still a pretty clear choice to have sex and it was referenced, but here, it's just.. abstinence and impossible to have sex rather than just fade to black for the scenes in question and that's a little disappointing.

I will still get the NSFW version as soon as I can afford some pocket money again! I hope you can still fix bugs for the game, but for the time being I just want to say: CONGRATULATIONS on finishing it and THANK YOU for all your work and for sharing it for mostly free!

*whispers as an aside* in that case he should follow through even more!

I just found this and played it throughout the holiday to get all the CGs and it was so lovely! Zed scored major points by getting us some tools of our own and a new com bracelet, even self defense lessons! Way to make up for the accidental bonding! Raz is clear second bc he's emotionally the most supportive and respectful (unexpectedly). Doc was sweet, but a bit weird with the jump from first date to proposal, still clearly a little traumatized which makes me hesitant to really go for his route. Nasir is the most difficult character, but that actually makes him a challenge you want to take on and Kol is so unapologetically himself that he quickly became the number one favourite! (that and I can relate to the good food working on him despite his best efforts)

So it's a bit late maybe, but thanks for the game, it's really made my long weekend a lot more fun!

I only wish we could get to do more than just oral with Kol in the threesome route. Since his hang up to relationships was "my dick is just too much for you puny human". x'D

on the Kol route, don't shower together, than the conversation should come up in the Galley whether you even are attracted to Kol. Answer "Yes.. But" and you get the option to include Nasir by saying you find him also hot.

typo report:
"Names are powerful, one should take care to give them to just anyone.

it's missing a "not" after care!

You weren't entirely what he was referring to, but you imagined it had something to do with the sensation from before.
it's missing a "sure" after entirely!

I guess it's because he broke his word and he's pretty big on the honor and wanting things to be better thing. It's why he joined up with Z to begin with and in Nerissa he found a better way. Sure he stabbed us in the back, too, but that was sort of the agenda from the start. With her, he really meant his promises and he didn't want to break them. He broke his vision of the better future with his own hands. Besides we had our talk, he and Nerissa are still due. Personally I saw it as a work/duty and private thing/feelings divide.
