- The count of the spawn birthed/escaped is wonky.
- There are still lingering issues with the church confession sex scene. Ignore any missing image errors for now.
- It’s somehow possible to get negative numbers of stackable items.
- Access to the character viewer, inventory, etc., isn’t consistent.
Patreon bonus content:
First of all, MOST OF THE GAME (85-90%!) is free, and always will be free. It won’t be released in a delayed cycle, like many other Patreon games.
The original game has three professions — Hunter, Alchemist, and Sorceress — and the remake removes Hunter as there is almost no content for it. (I may add it back in in the future, but honestly it’ll be a while.) The Patreon bonus content adds another profession — the Witch. Witches can curse others who have done them some sort of personal injustice. The strength of the curse is directly proportional to the size of the injustice, as it were. In terms of gameplay, this means you get uniquely crafted additional scenes for certain parts of the game.
To give you an idea of what bonus content you can expect, the original game’s bonus content includes the following:
As part of the quest to find a solution to your tentacle issues, you run across the “hint” of seeking out a bounty hunter. After spotting a notice for someone who is already looking to hire a bounty hunter, you can go visit that person and ask for a reference. However, if you decide to help her with her own issue of a missing family heirloom, you can manipulate the situation to provoke an injustice against you. And then things can get interesting.
In addition, there’s a rare event from wandering in the forest where you’re ambushed by bandits. Depending on your choices in how you handle this event, you can rack up a huge amount of injustice against you…and get commensurately spectacular results when you curse them in return.
Why a female protagonist?
A very important plot element in the game is tentacle pregnancy, and part of the inherent “threat” of the tentacles is that they can get you, as a female or herm PC, pregnant. That threat simply doesn’t exist for a male PC, so that fact alone would require fairly significant retooling of the plot and storyline. It IS possible and I MAY eventually implement a male PC, but I wanted to explain why it’s quite difficult to do, and no small undertaking.
In addition to that, although a lot of the scenes CAN internally support a male PC (and a lot of the scenes already have male PC variant text), I’ve taken a fair number of shortcuts — including the Bandits in the Forest event, among other things — and also with the bonus content. Those would need significant retooling to support a male PC.
I’ve already posted a poll on my Patreon, asking what I should focus my development on. One of the choices was implementing a male main protagonist, and it got very few votes compared to other possible choices. So there you have it.
