Pretty much. 🙂

So, outside Noer eastern gate, at night – there's that guy jerking at the upper right corner...
Who, if approached, would say "cunny!", grope Lona, and would then try to r... her. 🫠

Turns out, before the scripted r... happens(aimed 1 square down) – there's maybe a second for Lona to step sideways, and if you had a companion, they would take the same square you were standing on.
In this case, the jerky guy would catch your companion and would r... her instead, and this works reliably!

There was also an issue, of companions fighting back(not being cooperative), but I've found out you can solve this using a "restraint pole" weapon, which only causes fatigue, but damages little to no health.
And so, if your companion's on all 4's, with sweat animation(stamina 0 or less) – they would become absolutely submissive. 🫠

What this gives – is that I've been able to see seggs animations of unique charaters, which otherwise – you never see ingame, except for very(!) rare in-battle occasions... (like companion with 0 stamina being r... by orkings – which almost never happens).

So! This allows checking animations of:
Lady Noble,
Lisa,
Cecily,
Fire magician(from Burning Keg),
Elven archer(Doom fortress),
War sister(South Gate Camp),
Any following female NPC,
...and so on. 😉

Unfortunately, I tried this trick with both following, and lured males(like Elise, or others), and it does not work – not sure if game even has these animations, or how male-male s... is triggered... (I seen it happen with Orkinds few times, during battle – but event is too elusive)

Anyway, I hope some people have found this curious. 🫡

Mod Edit:I have to archive this post its unfortunately too spicy for itch but the dev has seen your input and we are retaining it so it can be referred back to thank you for your input.

You know, I have suspicion that the event could be not entirely random, but instead hardcoded into the game...

A few times I had the first wave in playthrough – immediately taking me to that island...
But if I skipped that 1'st wave – I couldn't get to the island after dozens of more tries... 🙄

Dunno, only the gamedev would know for sure, but it's just my hypothesis – that there could be some scripting involved.
I have a new game save still around, and can double-check that...

But in any case, that 3'rd island is so obscure, I didn't know if even existed for like good 4 years replaying this game time after time, since 2021.
So, if you'll get there, you'd be among the elite. 👧🏻🏆

Swiper, no swiping! Swiper, no swiping!  Swiper, no swiping! 

You probably mean that island, where Lona can end up if washed away into sea?
Find any shore on the map, and go across it, for as much steps as needed.
Big wave would appear, don't resist and let it wash you away into sea... There are random chances to end up on any other shore on the map, including that island which is naturally off limits... That's quite an adventure btw. 😘
Spoiler alert:
There's a previous ship that went off the Noer island with refugees, which crashed on that island leaving everyone stranded...
Same ship carried seeds of parasitic flower 🌺(aphrodesiac drug), and whole island ended up sprawling with this plant... It also being the dominating food source there, except for few fish and bananas.
So you can figure out what the stranded crew ended up doing, and what would happen to Lona. 🙂
Also, better leave your stuff at Tripartite Exchange bank, because each time you're washed away into sea – a lot of your gear is lost.
Also, it's possible to make a good bit of money by collecting as many parasitic flowers 🌺 while at the island , and then selling 100s of them upon return to Noer.
*cha-ching* 👧🏻

I'm afraid so, no.
It's a thing with many RPG games to sometimes show your character's appearance at the side of screen...
But never ever seen this being a constant thing, or at least there being an option for so.

The minigames are indeed pretty meh so far.
I think they came as a continuation of the initial minigame of clicking at the right moment – like during work, or sometimes during cutscenes, a-la "player spent at least some effort".  It was a nuisance, but okay – at least it was straightforward. 🫠

The fishing minigame took me some time to figure out, and even then it's annoying.
Basically, you always gotta have bait, then click when bar is at highest, then click when float twitched, and then click/hold mouse so bar would match the location of randomly moving fish. 🐟 (and it's HARD, especially on the last step!)
Ehem, I've never fished IRL, but after a minigame like that – not excited to go try that IRL even 1 bit. 😅
(I mean who fishes anyway, it's some refined BS for old people)

The cooking minigame was...
Well, I passed some of the recipes, thinking playing it was improving relations  with the bot...
But after reading it didn't affect anything  – that minigame pretty much died for me.
The cooked food was also pretty useless, so both the process and the product...

I can swear, whoever made this font – took inspiration from TES IV "Oblivion". 🧐

What if consent was questionable, but everyone came happy in the end? 👍
What if it was humanoid animal, like a furry? 🦊
What if it's an elf girl that's 1000s of y.o. 👸
What if it's a Portal companion cube with an AI installed 🤖, and it did not consent? 😁

Never ever had that.
But yeah, I figure it can get pretty annoying, when robo-GF just falls apart during intercourse. 🫠
(sounds like something IRL sexdoll users may occasionally have, lmao 😂)

Maybe you can make screenshots?
Also, there's a clicking mode that removes clothes and body parts, maybe it's somehow involved?
It asks for a confirmation though.

This speck of dust I'm selling costs 999 trillion $, it's the best one in the world otherwise it wouldn't costed this much.
Elon Musk is not even close to richness, because he can't afford it, lmao. 🙂

Probably, topic starter just drew that in GIMP or something.
(and maybe AI was somehow involved, like an assist to draw background)

It's quite pricy though...
I rememebr being stuck in sex slave harness and a with a slave branding on face – wthout a penny behind my soul...
The level was pretty low as well. 🤨
That was terrible, so if anyone loves good challenge(or masochism) – I recommned you trying that adventure. 🫠

Woah, I didn't know you could do that. ( o_o)

The bottleneck of this project – is that it's being made by 1 dev, and it's being developed for over half a decade already.
So, if it took so much time to just develop Jun's animations...
Imagine what it would take to develop sex scenes for a whole separate character.
...Unless those would be like 1-2 time events, and made as a slideshow with text. 😁

So kinda, just understand what's possible, and what's impossible – taking reality into consideration.

Also, by plot – Jun's noticing that you don't have sex with her even for short periods of time...
She got really jealous and defensive about Anon even seeing other girls...
And got really upset, understanding that she's just a toy after all, and would never be able to give him offspring, unlike real women.
So, actually having affairs with nun or a clothes store girl... Likely, won't end up good.

I've already noted in a different topic, that bot would smear you over the walls like pate. 🫠🤖

Interesting, I didn't know selling stocks lowered their price.
Thought programming was so, that charts are completely random.

You really don't need much, just an average visual novel writer – to significantly expand on the plot branches, dialogues, options, etc.
Compared to other games I've played, like even Summertime Saga, a mild example...
MDRG really haven't even scratched the surface, on what can be achieved by simply having more quests and more text. 😉
Would work especially good if stonks.ic was nerfed, and significant part of money making was put on quests, to make them useful.

On having AI within the game... That doesn't cost $100,000 of IRL money, can be implemented rather cheaply...
But, I don't think it's a good idea in general – seen this implemented in Minecraft with villagers, and even in TES III Morrowind with NPCs...
Nyeah, you get artificial idiots pretty much. 🙂

I've found it mentioned, again on some 3'rd party website...
It is also the only way to obtain unique good quality body parts for the bot, which are not sold anywhere else.

Haven't tried that yet, but I think it works through answering some E-mail(which otherwise looked like average spam), and then there's also a website on Anon's desktop where one can find contracts from pharma companies to fulfill.

Lmao, congrats. 🙏😁

I can't believe someone like YOU can become a mod LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Huh, I didn't know you could pick those up...
Maybe some new update thing, it's been a while since I played last time.

Huh, farming Noer orking cave?
Haven't heard of that method yet... What are you doing there exactly?

I only know that the place can be used as a fast levelup method, where at leverl 1 you surrender yourself to orkind rapeloop, and it's possible to survive there indefinitely, due to Lona being fed and somewhat cared for in there.
It's like you can easily reach level 40, and then sneak out on you own...
Only inconvenience is then paying Elise for sewing up all 3 holes stretched in and out. 😂

As for the best ever money making method I've discovered in that game – it's gathering and selling mushrooms from infected forest.
One can make about 7-8 golden coins per IRL hour this way, so method is really potent.

In earlier versions having  a cannibal perk and being able to collect human meat  from Orking Tower made sense(one above Noer and below Saint's Church)... But this method was nerfed due to lowering price on human smoked meat + there seems to be more orkinds there now, than there were before.

By game theory, it's worth pimping Cocona, because if you can sleep with her – this roughly saves 3 coins per full day... And half a day you still gotta pay for bed.
Also this is only available at Burning Keg, and can't be transported anywhere.

Meanwhile, if Cocona is used for prostitution – clients pay extra for her, about ~5 coins per "use", and it's possible to utilize Cocona 2+ times per half-day.
So she brings about 20+ coins per full day, which is 6 times sleeping at any tavern on the map + coins could be saved up for later. 😋

Lmao,  main reason so much money is available – is that development's in Alpha stage.
Money making is imbalanced, and it's begging for being nerfed. 😁
After all this is a game about being broke and lost at life, living in dystopia... But stumbling upon a beautiful high-tech robo-GF. ♥
It's not an ultrarich simulator – at all.
I remember weird feeling, when having 10s of millions $, and Jun asking $100 like it's a huge deal – and you could even refuse that like a stingy MF. 😉
Or Jun stealing 2 ramen noodles from Landloard during riots, while we were stocked on food for months. 🤣
Game's still progressing as if I'm broke AF, and that's how it should be for the story's sake.

A billion dollars...
Bruh, that's some serious greed problem right there, if one grinds for candy wrappers that badly – even in a small NSFW videogame. xD

Maybe game should have some bad ending for that case, like if you got over 10 million $ – you get "IRS open up" event at 3 AM. (  -_-)
In that game there's really no sense ever making more.

Btw, it's mostly useful for equipping pressure plate mines – those are a real WMD in that game. ( x_x)

Yeah, I'll try again once new version comes out...
Agree on seeing bad endings not being good for one's mental health – I remember not paying rent once, for reasons of investing all my money into stonks trade... Had good amount stored in coins, but didn't noticed how rent day creeped in(got knocked out due to tiredness).
And I was shocked that you're being immediately forced out into cold, by police, and with all of your stuff smashed  or thrown out of the window, including Jun. ( x_x)
They didn't even let me walk 2 steps to computer and convert the money.
This is pretty terrible, the Landlord was a jerk of course – but I didn't expected him actually DREAMING of literally ruining me, and having this trap prepared and charged all along...
If I lived like that IRL, and rented an apartment from someone who I knew(!) wished me harm THIS badly – I would changed place of living immediately. ( -_-)
Or maybe preemptive-attacked first...
That was a bad neighborhood, with lots of bad people after all – assaults and accidents happening all the time. ( ≖_≖)

Accidentally found it...
I kinda love it. 😍

TP is pretty much shop keeper "momentarily remembering" that he owes you some change. 😅
If you walk out the shop – all of these burn up.
Coins are real money meanwhile, ones you can keep and hoard.

Try it, and look up into inventory. 🙂

Maybe he presses ctrl, which makes Lona eat the weeds/fruits/vegetables on the run.

Oh, I get it – like Overly Attached Girlfriend. 🫠👩🏻

In a way, there are such characters already:
1. Bobo the Pig – fits perfectly, he requires regular "petting" 😘 for him to continue following you (each time adds more days of companionship).
Only, having kids with him is impossible, which is probably a good thing;

2. In a way, these 2 companions... They woud follow you, in exchange for mating. 🧐
Only, it's inconvenient that you can't replenish the days while on the run – and gotta return to the Fishtopia tavern.
I think it's more of a bug/incomplete  develoment – would make total sense being able to prolong companionship while travlling, and the older guy even mentions this in his dialogues. That you would "give birth to many kids", and when disbanding him that he "still wants more seggs". Also during map encounter, slave hunters would see you wih a fishkind, and would assume you're his woman. 🤔

Heh, these two guys are quite hilarious to have around too – they would try to mate with any female NPC encountered in the game. 🫠
(troublesome, but often funny as heck)

I'm probably only one here who doesn't know what "yandere" is. 😁

Is that some new update items? Last time I played LonaRPG was like half a year ago. 🧐

Ha, there were 2 topics recently, discussing these exact questions. 😁

I do love games that remember your prior actions, probably my favorite being Deus Ex (classic, from year 2000).
However, despite game remembering what actions you took many levels prior – it never used those to sabotage your gameplay many days/weeks after.
Probably, only controversial moment in DX was exiting Ton' hotel through window(allegedly not helping Paul survive the ambush), which would end up with your brother dead, lying on a dissection table, instead of standing and talking to you later on the same spot...
But still, even that only made 1 other character die, which still allowed you to continue playing.
(same in Life is Strange, 1 girl jumping from school roof – if you screwed up... but YOU will continue playing)

Btw, another notorious feature, that exactly Deus Ex was known for...
Was giving multiple(!) instruments and paths of solving immediate problems.

Like,  when there's mission – you could get to the destination through sewers, through  street, or through roofs...
When there's keypad code – you can ask around for it's code, buy it through bribing an employee, find it among someone's e-mails, etc...
When you gotta sabotage some industrial machinery – you can turn off it's coolant from a computer, or straight blow the thing up by stackign explosive barrels next to it...

So, like in life – there are always multiple paths and choices to any problem.
And it happens extremely rarely, that death is imminent, and you have absolutely nothing to do about it.
(like being stuck on a death row before execution, or having terminal illness, etc)

And even then it's like obvious, bad things would happen to you.
Not that things are going great! There's absolutely nothing to worry about! ...and then boom you died! 💀
Because some minor thing long ago, that you wouldn't even made second thought about – caused some shadow chain of events, that lead to your insta-kill so inevitable, that even with a time machine you having 0 ways to prevent it. 🧐
That exact thing – is no good, expesially in games.

In life it can very rarely happen, like a piano falling on you walking the street – (because a month ago you had a quarrel with friend, who didn't called you today, making you walk out of your home 5 minutes earlier). But at least IRL you'll be dead, and not worrying. 🤷‍♂️
(and if you had time machine – you'd just hang around at home for 5 more mins, easily!)

While in a game, an inescapable setup even existing – would keep you disturbed every single time you even remember about that game, for the rest of life. 🫢

"Bobo the pig's wife", lmao. 😅

One of the quick leveling mechanics I found – was giving yourself to the goblins at the starting sewers...
Despite gangraping her 2 times a day, and making her give births... Believe it or not, they're FEEDING her and make sure her HEALTH was on an okay level. So you literally can survive with them for infinite amounts of time. 😉
I tried that couple times, starting the game at about level 40. 😂
Only con is, Lona would have completely stretched out orfices, which would take a pretty penny to fix at Elise. 😊

When I played first time, which was back in 2021 or so – I thought that if I worked hard at Big Momma's tavern, I would have enough to sleep at, have food, and would eventually save up 20 gold coins to escape from the island... 😇
I was a completely different person IRL back then, too...
For example, I wasn't allowing anyone to touch Lona, even when preforming dancing job – I was taking away some clothes to tease, and would put them back on not to arouse the crowd too much... And if I overdid it, I made sure to escape to my room, close the door and go to sleep – so bad guys didn't touched my Lona. 😇
Well, different times I guess... Different eras. 🧐
As you may figured out, it's not easy to progress in the game that way. It's exactly like IRL, being stuck at an exploitative job.
Where you would work for 40 years, and then would be kicked out without 0 regrets, ending up on the street as poor as you've been at 20 y.o. only starting. 😉
So, little by little, I tried to make more coins, here and there. In any possible ways.
First, bending more to the audience during dances, getting carried out...
Which a few tims resulted in Lona actually getting caught and raped. 😘 That's how I first lost virginity in that game.
And that's where things went downhill for me in that game. I was re-installing it every half a year or so, finding and tryng new things.
Lona tried to make money as a dancer who gave her all and then also took the rape with 0 prob, Lona worked as a prostitute in different districts, worked as a beggar, as a burglar, as a thief, as a pickpocket, as a con artist...
Heck, things went so far, at some point I was going to goblin tower(one under church), collecting meat of dead people, smoking it, and selling it in huge quantities to the bank, which actually gave me first good money. Like 1.5 gold coins per 30 minutes. 😉
I also tried to be a "priestess" at the church(who knows, would know 👀), tried to do quests in the guild, tried making money at the arena, tried travelling across map, once even  ended up on some sex island filled with pink flowers, which I collected by 100s and then sold for a pretty penny. 😉
Damn, I've even pimped Cocona, who was a girl with a mind of a 5 y.o. and who trusted me 100%. 🥲
So yeah, dude – the sole idea of the game, is finding ways to make money, where it is incredibly hard making even a few coins – to escape from that hell hole. Eventually the ticket price would get to 30 gold coins(inflation), and you have to be able to get there, one way or another...
And like 99% of things you could make in the game, is a waste of time. You can trust me on that. 😉
But still it was good fun going through it all. 😊
The game actually even taught me many lessons IRL. Both in business, and life in general. It even has philosophic value to it. 🤌
(like burning 3 abomination nests, and absolutely 0 souls not giving 2 shits of a fuck – like not even letting me, half dying, starving, and covered in filth into some town, because I didn't had a stupid ID, lmao that was golden 🏆)

AlexMaxback, the game is deliberately riddled with bad mechanics and bad options, to make it similar to real life in crisis – where the most things you can do, the most places you can go to, jobs you can take, the most people you may associate with or help...
Would be either a waste of time, or would repay you with harm and danger. 😉 It's all BY DESIGN. 😈

If you were some homeless refugee girl trying to survive on your own – of course, most jobs would be exploitation, many groups would try to capture you into labor or sex slavery, most sources of money or food would be scarce and dangerous, organizations would be corrupt, people would be not caring and untrustworthy, there would be no places to sleep, maintain hygiene, etc, etc. Instead, there would be constant hunger, depression, and close calls of getting harmed.

What I can recommend you, as a 1'st time player – use game theory.
Make lists of mechanics you can earn coins with, mechanics you can get food with, places you can sleep at, etc...
All are slightly better or worse(use timer IRL to compare their efficiency).
And once you discover the better ones(I don't wanna spoil them) – life would get better, little by little.
You'll finally get a breathing space, and ability to explore. ☺️

Remember, that LonaRPG is a special game,  and there's only 1 time you can play it the first time. 🥰
