Are we ever gonna get the jackoff spot moved somewhere we can access it. >.> Yknow. the one in the middle of the water on the docks map. >.>

Developer

Wow, good memory. But like I've said, that was a stub idea that just never ended up  getting fleshed out. It would make even less sense here, with different sex mechanics. If you like that kind of thing though, I'd recommend talking to one of the plaza vendors when you're sans-jacket. No art for now, but a fun little set of scenes.

(+1)

I actually have zero memory of what you're referring to. 
I own MV rpg maker and enjoy snooping around the maps a little too much. 

Developer

Ah, haven't found it yet then. Give it a try, you'll figure it out.

Huge congrats on the release!!

Developer

Thanks! Always appreciate you guys.

(+1)

I really love both chapters they r fun in their own way, but maybe it just me but am I a villain too, since I'm making poor Mezz to be in Slut mode

Developer(+1)

THE DUALITY OF BUN.

(+1)

Just wanted to say something here since all I've posted is a bug report so far. Congrats on the successful release! Was more than worth the price. Your art really hits the right notes for this kinda thing.

Developer

Thanks! I've always described it as "good enough to get the point across". I still have a lot to learn, but there's enough there to enjoy I think.

(1 edit) (+1)

Well! I have so far gone two ways as a whore and a winning option, as I understand there is no middle option yet? I liked in many ways in the first part exactly the moment when we lose not in the form of slut.. when a bunny is broken gradually without hypnosis it looked amazing) Well, as for the second part, I will highlight a few points! 1) I certainly liked it, especially the scenes with the video are just super :3 I hope to see even more interesting things in the future) 2) As it seemed to me, the complexity of chapter 2 turned out to be higher than the first, but maybe I'm just so used to the first that I'm not used to it yet. It was really difficult to defeat Khazeem, I had to sweat a lot with it, but perhaps Dazzle blast would have greatly simplified my life. In the version without defeats, they didn't stay with the boss. Next, I'll move on to the questions) 1) Is it possible to defeat Khazeem in slut mode? I never managed to do it, and will the ending be different in this case from the version without defeats? 2) Of course I was interested in Mahir, will there be a special scene with him?) 3) and of course Scratch is also wondering what will happen to him in the future is it possible that he will also be able to sleep with Mezz? 4) It seems to have been mentioned somewhere that there are 3 bosses in the game, but so far I have noticed only two, will the third be later or did it just seem to me? That's all I have so far) thanks for the content! I will be waiting for updates and subsequent chapters) Good luck in development!

Developer(+1)

Nope, no middle path yet. You can absolutely defeat Khazeem in slut mode at the moment, but that's because the slut mode fight isn't really in/doesn't exist yet: for now it just defaults you to the standard one once you get there. Ending's the same, since again, it's just the standard fight. Mahir scene is planned. As is Scratch, but probably not this chapter. Only one formal boss this chapter, though you can fight Mahir as well, and there are harder enemy troops toward the end.

And thanks! Glad you're enjoying it so far.

Somehow I managed to get attached to this guy immediately 

Developer(+2)

He's got that face!

(+1)

Didnt read much into the details page but how long is chapter 2 time wise?

Developer(+1)

Depends on the person, but I'd say two and a half, maaaaybe 3 hours to see everything currently.

(+1)

I feel like this might be something that would be low on the priority list, like something to slot in once the whole story/development is finished. However I feel it would be worth having Cruel Serenade, the chapter one map and plot eventually ported into Guttertrash once everything is done with. Granted, new content and finishing the game would be much preferable but hopefully once that milestone is met, having the whole story be a seamless experience would feel great. 


I admit I felt a bit of whiplash for like the intro flashback part of the island for Guttertrash, I was like, did I just miss something?


I look forward to your future development. And a toast to your success 

Developer

No, probably won't do that. I WAS originally planning to join all the games up into one big thing once they were done (that's one of the reasons Haven is structured like a "hub"), but seeing how big GT got, and the limitations of RPG Maker, that's no longer planned. There's probably a fancy literary term for what the early bit of the GT story does, but that's entirely intentional. You start out thinking you're AFTER the events of the first game, only to realize you're briefly BEFORE them. I like the little "Oh wait-" that causes.

(+1)

Ouch, curse you program limitations, curse you!!! In any case rather excited for updates in the future. Though it did confuse me a bit in regards to the ear clips (that totally were thrown in the ocean, honest!)

Developer

How so? If you're wondering why they don't appear in the special scene, they aren't needed now. They were a training device. If you allowed them to do their work in CS1, the effect is permanently etched in Mezz's mind now. Thankfully it only applies to boars, and possibly even just THOSE boars, that particular gang.

(+1)

I loved the first chapter of this so much I had no issue dropping 10 bucks on this it's a pretty fun game I love the art and the story is fun over all happy with both chapters keep up the good work.

Developer

Thanks! Will do.

(+2)

Mezz is adorable, he's such a tough, fighty hopper. I love him and his endless confidence. ;_;

(+1)

Is it okay if I ask why you decided to make a new game as a continuation? Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm just curious.

Developer

Five games were planned from the beginning, you can see it in the description text on the CS1 store page. Of course, it's one thing to have something in your mind, and another to make it real. So far, we're on two.

(+1)

is there any free exception can be done for me? I waited for chapter 2 since  chapter 1 was out and now you i see a paywall which i cant cross. Im from russia and sanctions affected by visa dont allow me to do any online purchasing that doesnt support russian banks ;-;

Developer

Do you have an account on FA (FurAffinity)? Toss me a message over there (Bitshift). We may be able to work something out.

(1 edit) (+1)

I am so buying this. I DONT CARE!! 
And so I did, I love everything about it, there's nothing that make me so happy since.

Developer(+1)

Aw, that's really sweet of you, thanks! Chicken soup HOT BUN PORNOGRAPHY for the soul.

(+1)

Been following your work ever since I found you on Derpibooru.

I must say, you've done some fantastic work with Cruel Serenade, while I did encounter a few bugs here and there, it wasn't anything major.

I enjoyed hunting around through the game for little secrets and other hidden stuff and was pleasantly surprised to see some hidden plots going on, down a certain alley.

While I'm not yet done with everything, I've enjoyed my time immensely so far, thank you for all your hard work Bitshift, I hope this serves as a little motivation boost and that you continue to be successfull in your developer endeavors♡

Developer(+1)

Wow all the way back to Derp! You have been with me a while. 

And thanks, I really appreciate it. There's been a lot of interesting ups and downs trying to get game stuff working, and I never expected to be doing it this soon. But the opportunity came up, so I kind of had to jump on it. And so far, I'm glad I did.

(+1)

am I an idiot or can I not find the mirror in the club.

Developer

Everyone you talk to hints at the next link in the chain, and which narrows it down a bit. Also keep in mind that the thing Satin prompts you with is a text box: some people missed that. You have to type in the answer.

(+1)

oh OK thank you that makes more sense

(+2)

Scratch is top tier cute. I won't mind if he mind control me in the future

Developer

Don't know if we'll be getting any dom out of him, but yes, definitely cute. Glad he's getting some fans.

Scratch accidentally activating one of Mezz's mind control triggers would be a fun scenario in an art piece.

(+1)

It's surprising how many buttons this game pushes for me.  Top notch writing.  I look forward to seeing what you have planned for updates. 

Developer

Thanks! Definitely still a lot more I want to get to.

(+1)

I've been really excited for this game for a while and I remember you mentioning different starting points depending on what ending you got in the previous game. I started a new game but haven't seen any prompts or anything mentioning the ending of the last game so I'm curious if I need to do something to activate that or if I am just too hornybrained to have noticed.

(+1)

Read the following update post to the previous game, it will explain how to transfer your ending to the new game. Cruel Serenade 0.3.3 is up! - Cruel Serenade by bitshiftgames (itch.io)

(+1)

As I understand it, the whore mode is not finished? If this is the case and I didn't miss anything, then when will it be completed approximately?

Developer

Yes and no. All modes are playable to the end, but Slut Mode just loops back to the normal boss fight for now. Eventually it will have it's own fight and end scene, and possibly a few other art assets as well. I'll be sharing a roadmap with more thought-out time frames for new content in a week or so, but I'd say we're at least a couple months out.

Heya

There, the 1st game I've bought here and was it worth it, the 1st chapter already got me hooked so I had to.  This was so worth the wait though, the game's ambience, story and music fits so well all together it had me sucked in from start till the end.

I loved every minute I've played so far and can't wait for whats to come in the future. Thx for all the hard work you've put into this.

I might hop in later today to find some events/things I might have missed

Peace :3

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the kind words! After quite a while spend in my deep, dark dev cave, it's great to finally see people play and enjoy the game. Hope to continue supplying more of the same (and hopefully better!) for some time into the future.
