I should do some work on it in the coming months. Since I am working on the next game, time is limited, but it's something I have to do, plus it's good to show I am still alive in the meantime. XD

I have plenty of ideas for different/more content or to fix/improve mistakes I made, so I get the desire for more, but at some point I had to call it a day, so the game will stay as is, at least for a while (unless patrons really clamor for a 1.1 update later down the line). I get your point about the demon realm, though, even if it was going to be hard to make it much longer without losing momentum, I feel like.

My new game will definitely get uploaded here when it's ready to go, and I'll make an announcement for it, and probably add a link as well, so keep an eye out. The title is Tales of the Drunken Cowboy 2, in case you aren't aware, and it will be a sci-fi adventure game with RPG elements running on Ren'Py.

Great to know you enjoyed the game! ^_^

What did you feel was anticlimactic about the ending, if you don't mind me asking?

It's another game I am currently making. It's a sequel to my previous game (Tales of the Drunken Cowboy). It has a sci-fi setting. If you are interested, you can find the links in my blog (which is on Google's Blogger, so it unfortunately needs an account nowadays, since I marked it NSFW), but note that the original TOTDC was made in RAGS, and although there is an HTML conversion, it's a bit clunky regardless (also, it uses images from the internet, since I wasn't doing this as a job, back then).

TOTDC 2 will use Ren'py and 2D art.

You can make it go fullscreen, but be warned that since the resolution is so low, it's going to be very blocky. You can use F5 and F6 to cycle through a few options or press ALT+Enter to toggle fullscreen.

Don't worry, I understand the game isn't for everyone. Yeah, the whole day cycle can feel repetitive, making progress in certain paths slow. I do have some ideas for how to better handle routines if I ever make a similar game, but I can't really change Caliross at this point, so it is what it is.

It doesn't have body swap exactly, but you can transform into other people, at times. It's not used very commonly, though.

That's currently the last scene. I wonder if I should add a more generic one as the repeatable event, now that I took another look at it.

Hi! There is no other version of the walkthrough or h-scene list that I know of (I WISH there was one written by users XD). Naris are pretty uncommon, so there is just Eliza which comes to your mansion if you become a noble and a few scenes with a couple of Naris in Highrock (it's a very small village in the mountains). You can only get there through a quest from the adventurers guild, and you can only meet the Naris if you return to the village after the quest (they will move in in one of the builidings that face north, so you can't actually see the door).

It should be the last scene, unless there is a bug. Which scene is it?

At this point, probably not. The game dragged on for too long, so some of the stuff I planned will be cut. Maybe if I revisit the game later with a 1.1 update, in a few years.

Probably too late of a reply (itch stopped sending me notifications >_<) but Dani is the woman you can hire as a vice-captain if you are a cowgirl, and Skylar is the girl who offers you some "services" if you rule in her favor during the trial.

Sorry for the late reply (itch stopped sending me notifications, damn it). Did the comment mention how it was supposed to be improved? I don't remember the conversation off the top of my head.

The engine is old, so it doesn't natively support Mac, unfortunately. I think if you check the F95 forums, someone there does make an unofficial Mac port, but I can't test it personally, so I don't know how good it is.

Hi guys, thanks for the report and sorry for the late reply (itch sometimes stops sending me notifications >_<). I'll look into this and fix it as soon as possible.

When I tried it with your save, I saw the first scene, then I went to sleep and the second scene triggered when I returned to the djinns. On the plus side, this probably means you should be fine with the latest versions of the game, I can't imagine a locale issue affecting the game.

The only other thing you could try if the problem is still happening is to delete the "myproject" folder inside the game (that saves options independently of save files and it's theoretically possible it might have glitched and saved a variable value, maybe).

I hope that stays true, even with more and more websites bending over backwards to comply with the new British laws. I am in Italy and I do get more intrusive age verification things every now and then (long live VPNs).

^_^

Okay, so it's definitely the first scene on repeat, as you were saying. Is there any chance you could link your save to me, so I can check it out? The code is pretty simple, so there shouldn't be any chance of messing it up, and it should work with old saves as well, so I am stumped.

Good to hear you liked the game! ^_^

A remake seems unlikely (it's the kind of stuff that would take me years, most likely). I am generally more interested in making new stuff. I guess never say never, but I wouldn't count on it.

I generally do listen to public suggestions, although at this stage it's less likely I can take the time to do so. If you are talking about the milking machine, it's been part of the Zanti path itself for a while now (although it wasn't there originally). Maybe if your original save file is a bit old, you didn't get the chance to receive the milking machine.

As for special uses, I'll consider it. As I said, it's a bit late, especially when it comes to introducing big changes. The game might get a 1.1 patch a few years down the line (if there is interest for it) so maybe I'll add a note about your suggestions and consider them for that eventuality, instead.

It depends on where you go and which quests you take (if I remember right, the adventurers guild has a quest that involves fighting pretty early on). The game doesn't have a huge focus on combat, though.

You should be able to avoid almost all of it, but a lot depends on what you do: for example, getting drunk could lead to content with men, certain jobs too, so while you I don't think I wrote any mandatory scenes, it can become restrictive if you want to avoid all scenes/interactions with men.

It depends a lot on how many scenes you try to get, how many jobs/events and so on... I think you can easily get 40 hours out of the game in a single playthrough. I have seen saves with many more hours, but I assume those are outliers.

It's on the west coast, between Rahib and Tarisa (there should be a "C" shaped rock formation). You'll need to find a breakable wall in there (that's also hard to spot).

You must reach the last room in the 1st temple, unlock the mouse transformation (by interacting with the big statue/altar) and read the writing on the wall (this should give you a new quest as well). If you have done all that, when you exit to the world map, you should get a warning that you can write things down in your uncle's study (2nd floor in your house in Tarkas). Doing that advances the chapter, so make sure you finished everything you wanted to do first.

Yes, there are ways. If you investigate the cave before talking to him, you'll realize Ginnuk is eating poisonous mushrooms (you can find some in a broken barrel). While his life isn't at risk, you can offer him an antidote as a trade (if you have one), and he'll let her go. If your intelligence is 80 or higher, you can also trick him.

There is a significant amount of lesbian content available, yes, but it's not exclusively that, you can "pick and choose" so to speak.

Maybe you had seen the first scene already, and now it's just repeating the second one instead (and you forgot you saw the first one in the past)? In the scene, is Erica standing or is she sitting on one of the Djinns' lap?

The exe file should be easier to estract, in the sense that you can run it on windows and it will do everything on its own. The 7z file is for people that are having false positives with antiviruses or people that want the files to try and run the game on their phones, but you need something like 7zip installed to open the archive in that case. Note that to run the game on the phone, you'd need specific programs and to follow certain procedures.

You also need to install the RTP (only once) it's linked near the bottom of the page.

Glad it worked. Have fun! ^_^

Oh, sorry, I was thinking of a different quest! For this one, you can use hand of fire on the Eye, and it will trigger the next part (there are some hints about how the Eye behaves that should help point players in this direction, if I remember right). Also, I forgot to say this, but remember that there is a walkthrough for the game (it's also linked in the game's folder). Simply find the quest's name (or use CTRL+F to search for the term you want), if you need something for a specific quest or event.

Unfortunately, in this old version of RPG Maker you can rebind the function keys but not the movement keys, so unless you use a gamepad to play or some external program to "trick" the PC into thinking the keys you want to use are the arrow keys, I am afraid you can't play the game.

Wait, if you download and install the RTP and then download the game and install that one, you can't run the "game.exe" inside the installation folder? RPG Maker doesn't need a player to run, the RTP is just a few assets to that are installed separately, so you don't need to redownload them with each update.

Mmmh, it seemed to work fine for me. Which version of the game are you using?

I don't seem to have any problems clicking the links in the page. Was it a link from one of the spam bots that are infesting itch these days?

Do you mean during the adventurers guild quest? You can use the Push spell on a boulder behind him.

If you know where the Djinns are, you can simply go back there, and the new scene should trigger. If you never met them, their magic lamp can be found in the oasis, next to Rahib.

You should be able to do the quest without issues (there are ways to gather intel without working there, anyway). I can't remember what kind of failsafe I have in place for failure, though, I might have to double check.

For the Zanti, you need to get maids first (they'll be the ones providing the maids, at a certain point). Talking to one of the maids will allow you to set things in motion.

Hey, as long as everything is fine now.
Glad you like the game! ^_^

Since you know about the walkthrough, you should be able to CTRL+F for "royal library" to find this, but here is the current entry:

One of the two “advanced libraries” in the game. There are a few ways to gain access to it, but they are all tied to the Emperor (and thus, being a noble is prerequisite):

1. Join his harem (see above);
2. Have a relationship score of 5 or higher with the Emperor;
3. Complete the quest “The Weak Link”;

This means that the library is only available from chapter 3 at the earliest.

As for the first temple, perhaps things got more complex over time, so I didn't account for certain possibilities. Are you using the schedule? If you never leave your house through the door, this scene won't trigger, but otherwise you should have a visit from a friend of your uncle after the first day. He tells you to go talk to him at the mage guild, and he will then guide you to the first temple (this visit gives you the quest "First Dig" in the questlog).

If this was the case, I can always modify the schedule to trigger the scene as well.
