itch.io

I'm still working on updates for the game (tho it's been slower) and hoping they eventually reindex paid adult games. Even if they don't I'll continue the game. But this has been pretty awful for my income to say the least, and the game was never lucrative.

Yes, sadly, Itch delisted all paid adult games around 4-6 months ago and has yet to offer any info when we might get relisted. It has not done this game any favors lol.

Always good to hear from you! And thanks for confirming the upgrade worked for you as well, if there were any issues I would certainly like to know so I could fix them.

Yes, saves are freely transferrable! It SHOULD be automatic between updates and free/paid versions, though I've never tried going backwards in versions lol.

Glad you're enjoying the game so far!

Thanks for the kind words! I recognize the Etrian Odyssey name, and love cats lmao, hope things are going well for you.

Appreciate the kind words! I am keeping at it and finishing scenes, but irl and health do keep coming up lol. While the game has never been profitable, I love the characters and story, so while content speed may wax and wane I don't see myself burning out on it, just going slower at times.

And I agree! While I'm personally more of a 1-3 girls player, I definitely want a harem route, and most importantly of all, I want all the girls to end up happy, even if not romantically. That's why I make them suffer now, lol.

Glad you're enjoying! I definitely wanted each girl to feel different.

The hope is to have a generic harem ending, unique endings for individual girls/small groups, and maybe a friends ending. We're not talking like, 30 hour endings for each, but enough text that it doesn't feel like a total coop. I don't plan any bad ends, but some bittersweet endings may end up happening for those who like that vibe.

Thank you for the kind words in general, it's always pleasant to read! I finished an Ashley scene last night, probably Metatron today, I'll keep working as I can~

I appreciate the vote of confidence! I will definitely try my best, I finally got a giant Ashley scene done and somewhat repaired my faith in myself lol.

Divine Dawn is entirely inside of Renpy. I coded the RPG stuff in Python myself, but Renpy handles almost everything visual, aside from some bits I overwrote. I don't know what a visual engine is, sorry.

Not everyone likes the mix of story and RPG, which is part of why I added so much depth but also a lot of cheats, so people could engage with it as much or as little as they wanted. It sucks to see people dismiss it because of one aspect or another, but ultimately that's what the game is and it doesn't appeal to everyone. I don't know if it was the right choice though, this was my first game and not the best start lol.

It's still only free games, so far; reindexing of anything paid is nonexistent as far as I can tell. And I'm definitely feeling the loss of income. Itch was never the main money maker but every bit helped.

Succumilf is planned for the mountains, which isn't too far away. Next update (hopefully in a few weeks) will finish up in Badon, then it's plains (1 update), then mountains (possibly 2-3). She'll be interesting and I'm eager to see how she works out.

I love how Sarah and Metatron get along now though, they're both sweethearts!

This is my first time trying to make a game and it's certainly been a lot more work than I had hoped admittedly.

Siofra will be the Zephyr magic teacher (wind, focused on spirits) and possible spirit summoning and advanced fire magic. Kandrs will likely be (name TBD) tide/deep water magic and possibly advanced water. Succubus mom will likely be advanced nether. I haven't finalized all of the details yet.

Regarding Metatron martial arts... not immediately. Maybe down the road, or an offshoot of them, or it may be locked to Aether corruption path only.

Not really an oversight, the earth magic trainer just took a lot longer to introduce than I had expected. Alicia will be here soon enough.

I specifically noted aether/nether as having a combo path planned!

I've commented about it twice in the last week if you want some progress info, but I will make a proper progress report someitme soon! Things are going along, just not as fast as I'd like.

It will be possible to mix some corruptions (aether/nether) for a unique result, and you can have multiple 20%+, but for the most part going past 50% in one will lock you out of 50%+ of others. Most do not play nice together and fundamentally cannot.

Ay nice lol, hope he enjoys it! I'm kinda glad I redid the opening so it gives a better impression, but it's still not on the level of the game later on so I'll always be a lil worried about the intro.

Appreciate the kind words, things are actually going okay (relatively, for now, lol). Been getting a lot of writing done and pretty happy with new scenes, moving stories forward, etc. Remains to be seen how the stuff with Itch goes, i havent been able to get paid in a month now so that sucks, and no updates from them, but they haven't banned me yet so... thats a start.

Yeah, I underestimated how much work some of these scenes would take lol. This update will move a LOT of stories forward. I'm doing ok though thankfully!

Appreciate it, and yeah.... would be nice if they could leave the rest of us alone.

We can only hope it'll work out. There's a good chance Itch will take weeks or months to work through it at this speed.

I try to make important choices obvious so no one gets caught off guard!

Siofra joining is around the end of current content. If you're on the paid version there's another update of camp content, next update (next few weeks, hopefully) will have more story scenes.

If you already bought from itch, you will keep getting updates as I release them unless Itch bans me! And thank you for the kind words, I will keep going.

I don't have a world map, just a rough mental image of where things are. It is something I want to do at some point!

Yeeee I'm very proud of the deepwoods stuff, I think it's the best part of the game, with choices that matter and a strong introduction to the spiritual dangers your parents warned you about. It's finally the aventure the main character wanted!

Let's just say it was doubleplus ungood for my mental state for a day or two there lol.

Thankfully, I haven't gotten any personal threats from steam/patreon yet, so far they've mostly been targeting games with incest or nonconsensual themes. I HOPE things will work out on Itch as well, supposedly they're targeting similar things, but right now I and almost everyone else are just waiting for itch to re-list our games. 

They do claim that they won't completely remove a game unless it breaks rules so you should still be able to download, and if that stays true I'll keep updating it here for previous purchasers. May or may not be able to make new sales, we'll see.

Shit, I am late on this, sorry!

I am still plugging away, despite Itch's recent spasms with adult games lol. Been a stressful week, not that the recent Steam crackdown helped either. Puritans always have to ruin everything.

Succumom is too nice to have rivals (except maybe Rosalyn, lmao) and I am actually really excited to see how she and the existing succs get along. It might be a little awkward at first, but they're all very old succubi, so it's basically the same thing, right?

Don't worry about corruption for now, before you do anything irreversible you'll be warned ingame.

I am slowly adding more CGs to scenes as we go, can't promise every scene will have one.

I'm not sure what you mean in the last line, sorry.

There are definitely some Exalted references! The circles of souls are the big one, though there's a mention of warstriders as well. I tried not to obviously base each goddess on anything, they're more-or-less unique to the setting, or at least I hope so.

There's some Fate blood here as well, and a lot of inspiration from IRL alchemical concepts.

I spent a lot of time researching the kabbalah, and it's generally pretty accurate, with some tweaks to fit the setting. Ayin is related to Ein Soph Aur, which is namedropped ingame. There will be more of the tree of death later.

I joke sometimes that this whole project was just an excuse to worldbuild, so it's always cool to see people enjoy it!

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you had fun!

Hey there! Yes, I hope to get art of them eventually. I have a few sketches, especially for Olivia, but no final art. It will happen eventually(tm). Probably when Olivia gets more content, lol.

He can be knighted by both! (and a husband to both). Alicia and Ina will definitely have some rivalries though, and perhaps competition...

LMAO. Headpats are blessed.

Things are improving on my end, got a Metatron scene done that I really liked. I really want to do a Sarah date, but idk if I want to write 3 h scenes in one event, lmao, she would be a dangerous girlfriend. Sam and Ashley is an interesting pair, not sure how they would interact but there's one way to find out!

That was the general vibe I was going for with Ina, wanting to move out of her mother's shadow and learn more to actually be ready for when she becomes queen. She, Asta, and the upcoming Alicia all have a similar issue - growing up in the shadow of someone that seems unassailably perfect to them. Ina's mom is... definitely not going to be happy, but as long as Ina doesn't die in the process she'll get over it, lmao.

Sorry for the delayed response!

Dammit, I fell asleep and lost my original post lmao. So this one will be a little shorter, lol

Maya is very cute and deserves headpats, but Sarah is also very cute and pattable, which is very important

You only need to buy once to get updates forever, I know some games do the other way but it doesn't feel right to me. I appreciate the support though, and hopefully the new updates will be worth it! The last one was pretty massive at the very least~

I googled it and it didnt seem too hard to add, so I'm gonna try to make it so swiping down hides UI and swiping up returns it

no promises on everything working yet lmao

That's a good question. I added an experimental text hider to Sarah's missionary CG, but not other scenes. I know on desktop, the H key hides all UI/dialog. I will look into it and see if I can find a universal solution for android.

78,000 word erotic fanfiction of Asta and Kuril my beloved 

I'm doing okay, going into this week I'm cautiously optimistic that things will go well! At least I have a lot of ideas for scenes I want to do. I hope you're doing well too!

Appreciate the sentiment, but as always take care of yourself first. On Itch... I think it's just rebuying the game with whatever cost you want? I'm honestly not sure, I don't use itch much these days since I commission stuff offsite instead of using premade assets.

All three of those last things are a good start though! I'm sure Sarah would appreciate it in particular, poor thing.

I'm not sure. I might make it temporarily available or something? I don't want to drop the demo thing, but making the entire game permanently free would remove any income remaining lol, speaking from experience, so I'll have to feel it out when I get closer.

Hey, that's great to hear! Especially given how the world  has been going in the last few years, financial stability is a blessing.

Payments/donations here are one-off. As long as you do the minimum price or more, you own the game forever and will always get the latest update. Patreon is mostly for supporting the game repeatedly and getting more polls/previews, but everyone gets the same release on the same day, unless Itch/Steam or being difficult in which case sometimes I have to wait until they fix their shit lol.

Succubus mom isn't toooooo far away now, with deepwoods doine and this coming patch wrapping up badon/deepwoods plot we can head to the plains and then the mountains where she will be. No exact ETA though, my time estimations are awful. Not sure if she'll end up with any threesomes/foursomes yet, but I look forward to giving her a chance!

I commission them, and it's... not cheap lol. Variants (especially stuff like replacing the guy with an angel/demon/etc) can rapidly balloon it out of control.

Definitely a possibility! I would rather have a temp full transform in that timeframe than everywhere, would make CGs easier lmao

Hey, glad to hear you've been enjoying it!

I don't know how detailed to get here lol, but I'll say that the Aether is an endgame area related to the finale, so don't expect it soon. I would say we're somewhere around 33-40% of what I'll likely do with the game after all the post-deepwoods stuff, and the end of the first of 3 arcs. The second two will hopefully go a bit faster, lol.

Rosalyn is wife material.

High corruption will likely have some kind of immortality twist to endings, I haven't finalized the details yet but it makes sense that if you become an incubus you should get succubus immortality, right?

Thank you again for the kind words! I will keep at it, I love the game and characters and still have a lot of ideas I want to run with.

I forgot to respond to this, my B. Yeah, that seems like a good starting set!
