itch.io

Sure thing :3

I think the issue is locating the files after the extraction. You can try picking an easy to find location to extract to instead.

I've also uploaded .zip files of the game just now. Maybe that'll work better for you?

Are you trying to install it via the itch app?

Hi! Are you on Windows? After extracting, you need to go where the game files have been extracted to and double-click ''Demon's Soulbound.exe'' to start the game. If you don't remember the folder you put it into, start the downloaded file again to see the path.

When it comes to gen AI, most people have a problem with  the training data being taken/stolen from artists without asking and the high energy consumption and its environmental effect. There are (very few) AI music generators that are trained on an opt-in basis, mostly solving the first issue. But the high energy consumption still remains.

There's a log file that gets created during play, it should be here: ~/Library/Logs/Ragtor Stone Games/Orc Bastion/Player.log

If I can look at the file, I may be able to see what's wrong. Long shot, though.

I can't test or debug the Mac versions because I don't have one, there's a chance they may not work properly.

The fixed version is online now.

Yeah, that should work. I'll upload a fixed version in half an hour or so, too. Thanks for the bug report :3

Sounds like a bug. I'll take a look. It's a late game optional area, you can ignore it for now.

Thank you :3

The element well requires you to follow light in the water near a sign in the water cave. Can you name the quests you can't finish?

There are 2 masters at the dam. The wolf inside the dam (talk to him with Benno in the party), and one on an island in the lower water area, north-east. of the sand bank.

You should see quest markers on the world map for some of the companion quests (only Slith's is after Falgar's Castle). Karas: Go to Akoh (Goblin town), Mattis: In Rok's Fort (cellar). You may want to gain some experience and buy equipment on Falgar's floating island, though.

This place unlocks during an optional quest for Karas, it'll guide you there eventually. The Master there is south of the entrance.

Unfortunately, Steam blocked the Orc Bastion release, citing payment provider regulations.

There are weaker enemies nearby you can level with if you can't defeat any of the bosses with the current character stats. Switching the difficulty may also help.

I haven't figured out a good way to do a scene gallery, the way the game loads rooms makes this quite difficult. Many scenes can be triggered again by talking to a Master or a party member at certain campfires.

Hi! It sounds like you are underlevelled. At what point in the game are you? There are items that increase stats, and triggering adult scenes also gives stats upgrades. There's also a light armor that doesn't have the speed penalty.

Hi! There's the donation version on itch (Orc Bastion (donation version) by ragtorstone)  and a Steam version is coming soon.

If Benno's turning back a path, you need to come back later (after passing the desert).

I tried, but it won't run on Android. Might give a newer Unity version a try.

The only way to play my games on Android is by using Winlator: Releases · brunodev85/winlator -- this is a windows emulator thing (wine), you can run many modern windows games in it, including mine. Not sure if you wanna fiddle with that, but it's an option. Needs a somewhat fast Android phone.

Thanks for buying it! :3

There's light in the water near that sign, follow it to the elemental well.

NP! The update is online, the rock situation should resolve itself when you load the game.

I thought I made sure to keep these movable. I'll upload a fix and post here when it's up.

I can't seem to get my games to run on Android, so it's rather unlikely it'll happen.

Hi! A few weeks, I submitted it to Steam but they're slow with adult games.

The mac version is now available.

There's the one the black dragon mentions, it's in the underground area of the Black Lake, westward from the sign near the entrance.

I'll make one, the only drawback is that I can't test these due to a lack o' mac, but it seems they usually work well.

There's only one atm 😅

Might make a guide for getting them. The first one is to the east from the northern end of the Yuath Desert area, the 2nd one on the western end of the ice/glacier area near Red's lair, the swamp is near a campfire between Angel Gate and Northgale.

Thanks for the bug report, that fight shouldn't get triggered from behind, I'll make a fix.

If the game gets very hard, you might be underlevelled. Gaining 2 or 3 levels will make it easier.

Sure! Go down the hills on the right side of the dam. Swim to the east and you'll find an island with the master. It could also be the wolf monster inside the dam, talk to him with Benno in the party.

Most likely not. I haven't managed to get any of my games to run on Android lately.

Thanks! :3

I've just updated the Steam version. :)

The game is currently in Steam's review queue. If it goes through (hard to say when it comes to NSFW games), it'll be something like the end of April.

Orc Bastion on Steam

Orc Bastion is a bit hands-off with its tutorializing, so here's some info to help you get started.

Manual Saving (almost anywhere)

If you're not near enemies or in midair, you can usually save the game. There are no auto-saves, don't forget to save on the reg!

Quest Radar

The circle in the top-left corner of the screen directs you towards your goals (marked as ?), and there's a simple quest log in the menu. If no ? is visible, there are no story or side quest triggers available in the current area.

Exploration

While out and about, you can run, jump, swim in water and climb ladders and vines. Talk to NPCs in towns and check hidden corners for items. The world map itself has a lot of hidden items, as well. Watch out for that little twinkle. If you get too close to enemies, a battle will trigger. You can avoid their line of sight and hide behind walls or barrels if you wish to avoid battles. If enemies emit a faint red glow, they may be quite strong. You may want to save the game before attacking them.

Battles

Each enemy has weaknesses and resistances. Hit a weakness to delay an enemy's next turn a little. Hitting them from behind or from above works, too. For back attacks to work, you need to be at least one cell column to the left or to the right of an enemy. If you hit a weakness, your star meter (upper left) fills up. Once it's full, the next playable character gets two turns.

Learning Skills

You'll get new skills as you progress. To make use of them, they need to be learned. Not all characters can learn all skills. Enter a character's skill menu to see what skills are available. A skill marked with " ○ " is currently being learned and usable, and a skill marked with " ● " is fully learned and always available to use. To learn a skill, select it and set it to your "Learn" slot. During battles, you'll receive LP (Learning Points), and once you've met an equipped skill's point requirements, you can use it permanently, and equip the next skill to learn.

Using Skills and Items outside of Battle

You can use healing spells outisde of battle. Some of them can be cast on all player characters simultaneously. Do so from the context menu of a skill that's been learned or is currently in the "learn" slot. You can also use healing items and status upgrade items via their context menu (select an item in the "Items" menu, and the context menu appears to the right of them).

Sometimes, you need to use a skill on certain hotspots to progress. It needs to either be equipped in a "learn" slot or fully learned to be used. Select it in the skills menu of a character and pick "Use Here" to use it on hotspots. Hotspots are marked with "!" icons that grow bigger when you're near enough. An early quest requires you to melt an ice crystal with a fire spell, for example. Stand in front of it and select "Use Here" from an learned/equipped skill's context menu.

Masters make you Stronger & make more Skills available

While exploring, you'll come across masters who'll join you in Rok's Fort. The Wyrm Altar inside the fort gives you new skills as you find more masters to serve. Keep an eye out for these big fellas! Once you've served them (talk to them in the fort), you'll gain some stat boosts, as well. Your party members are also masters -- talk to them at certain bonfires if you wish to serve them.

Leveling & Buying Equipment

You'll have to keep somewhat up to date with your equipment and your levels. While the game lets you avoid most battles, you may end up under-levelled if you avoid fights too often. You'll need experience points from battles, as well as LP to learn skills. Shops let you buy and sell items. Selecting equipable items will show you how they'll affect a character's stats. You'll also find valuables during exploration, and you can sell them for some profit.

Hi! The version differences between Demon's Soulbound on Steam and itch.io are custom translation support and some typo fixes. I haven't updated the Steam Version for now because I haven't figured out how to make translations available on Steam yet.

Would you like to have custom translation support in the Steam Version? 

They're in-game, so you can decide if you want to go forward with a scene or not. Did you mean kink warnings on the game download page ealier?
