Tried replying but it didn't work. I mean this one
there's a mission on the board to get it
Red Where can I find Spark of Light?
What's that used for again?
How do you beat the mission "missing acolytes"? I always get killed at the end by enravel and I can't even deal any damage...
Don't put Asker in the enemy range, he can oneshot the boss
Help me, I can't complete the mission.
What do you mean?
How do I unlock the Bathroom and the Mission Room? I've cleared all the content I can find, finished the Dregan storyline, now just building affinity with the new characters. I can't seem to find the Ocean Aquarium or the Explorer's Map?
Thank you for the awesome game!
Also, I just noticed Sol is level 1? Is that intentional? Should I shove him in the training room?
yep
Unfortunately, in the current update it's not possible to get those items, this bug will be fixed in the next version
Hello. How did you get crystallized essence? I lost the arena the first time I played it. Also, is there a way to get demonic essence? I play 0.15.4
winning the arena minigame should rewardyou with Crystallized Essence, as for the Demonic Essence, are you talking about Magic Essence in general?
No, I'm talking about the ingredient for upgrading the throne room at the forge. Some of the ingredients needed were "Heroic" and "Demonic".
Oh, I get it, It's Alastor's coom!!!
How do I get Phantasm Bond? I want to turn Lenga into a tank/healer. I've maxed his affinity with everyone, but im stiil not sure what else I need to do.
I'm not sure, but I think we removed the skill books from the shop because of the update to the skills we're about to do with the skill grids
Ah okay, thanks for the response (I figured it out its a random drop from skill training). Current save files from 0.15.4 and on will still carry over into the full game, right?
Also some feedback: the tool tips are unreadable because they are black on a dark background. Summon Devoid feels worthless. It doesn't contribute to Areren's levels unless you are healing it, and when it does hit it gets one shot. I think Cervius' transform skill should last until the start of his next turn, so that it can potentially be used for counter attacks. You can get stuck in the training arena if you get caught between the top left object and the character training there.Aside from that I've loved the demo, and I'm excited for the full game!
Since we're working on basic features like the skill grid, the saves will not be transferable once we release that update and the one after (conquest rework), so it depends on the version, but we're hoping the conquest update is the last one that will cause incompatibility between versions
Also, thank you for the feedback ;)
I was wondering if you'd answer a few more questions about the final game if you don't mind.
1. I actually pick based on what I think they would wear, nothing more than that xP
2. Iirc we have slots for 13 worlds in total. Some will be smaller than what we've pushed so far, and characters in those worlds will range between 1 to 4 (1-2 characters per world will become more common as we progress as the first worlds are used to buffer up the amount of units)
3. Yes, we're progressively adding more
4. Haiden is somewhat close to that but bullying in particular idk
5. Now that's a good question... is "long" an answer? xD
6. Currently, there's no plan to put it on steam. It's sub only and will most likely stay that way for a while. The reason for it being that BL games are extremely niche and without a steady source of income, we wouldn't be able to develop these games.
7. Don't think so, the game's going to be very long, I don't think DLC will be necessary xP
8. A personal favorite is Haiden, but I do like writing Leif too because he's on the kinkier side of heroes lol
How do I get stone?
You automatically should be getting them from the conquest map after setting a quarry there.
redflash I want to ask when the new update gonna coming? do you know how to fix the lag on phone? by the way i have difficulty about your other game too do you know how to activate the quest "dealing with lest karr"? thanks for your hard-working I will definitely will support you
We just released a new update on the sub websites this week. For the updated demo, it's gonna take several months.
For "Dealing with Lest Karr" you need to have finished the relationship for the characters in Katakura Town.
As for the lag on phone, it's hard to say because we already downgraded pretty much all we can to make it run smoother but there are still improvements we can make to the UI and such.
Every time I click on craft the game keeps crashing
Answered your comment on patreon too, we'll upload a new version a soon as we can ;)
Hi, I have a question, I know that your characters are from other games, but I can't find the one who inspired you to create the Sailon, could you tell me who it was?
The characters are not from other games, but were inspired by them. Seilon was based off Farren from Dragalia Lost
I'm so confuse. I can't figure out how to get these stuff. I tried doing the Arena fight couple times but I didn't get any stuff like this thing.
And also when I assign a Heroes to the Training Camp, they won't appear to be seen.
The Crystallized Essence should be obtained by doing the arena after you've won the first time to get the feeble clothes. The second one sounds odd, maybe we missed a bug?
I think you should put more tags on the game, like: Gay, strategy etc... Since it was almost luck to find it.
thanks but Gay is already a tag and I just added strategy. I can't add anymore unfortunately since there is a limit of 10 tags.
Who's this >-<
Alastor? You get him through the story
I also have this one. I'm so confused what's with the "??? must have joined."
From what I can see in the animation list, I think it's supposed to be Alastor because that animaiton there should be one with Alastor iirc.
Is there another version like the updated one that's not demo?
Yes, it's on the subbed websites (patreon / subscribestar / fanbox) but keep in mind that the game is still very much a work in progress
Guys where can I find celestial dust and arcane cipher for silon and haiden I cant find in renown shop as the game said
You need to unlock the Dregan faction by completing the Dregan quest first ;)
Thx <3 I found out after sending that :)))
I think the seggs scene is out of place...
It's too far from the pov, they look so small.
Which one? Affinity, combat animations, regular scenes?
I think I can guess what happened though (if I were to guess it's a refresh animation sprite that we forgot to scale to x4 so it looks super small lol)
Out of topic but how do i access sanguine clan station? i cant finish ayers affinity
If you're at a point where you're doing his affinity missions, you should already have access to the sanguine clan station? Did you complete his previous missions and raise his affinity enough to reach the next step?
yes, so far everything i could possibly have to do, hes the only one ive been stuck into for like months trying to figure out how to access sanguine station ever since 0.14
I almost think i bugged him out
Mmmh seems you have everything, you do know the Sanguine Clan Station is on the Dregan map, right? If you're unsure, you can send me your save and I'll check what wrong if you can't find it
imma try playing every dregan gameplays i could find because i cant seem to find the exact Sanguine Clan Station, and sure im gonna send my save
is this what you meant? but i played every levels inside it, nothing happened
Google drive
Ok, after checking it, it seems we accidentally had the wrong variable set there which blocked progress. I'll have to push out a fix for this tomorrow
First of all, thank you very much for making such a great game for us to play. But I have a problem that after the update it is very slow and jerky, so I can't play in 3D. I will look forward to the next update. Thank you very much, I love your game.
If you play on PC, go into the options and use the low detail mode. This will make the 3D chunks simpler and disable the shadows which should run on basically the same specs as the 2D version
I play on my phone. Is there any solution? Phone model: Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus Android 12
Ah, if you're on phone then that's harder >< The low detail mode should already be enabled by default on mobile
Mmmh, are you mobile, PC or Linux?
Also, if you are on mobile, could you tell us:
1- Your Android version
2- Your phone model
3- The version of the game you're using
I'm using a mobile device
Mobile phone model: V2339
Android version: 14
Game version used: Android v.0.15.4_demo.apk
Thanks for the info! One possible outcome is that your phone is trying to get access to RAM but doesn't have enough which forces the app to close. If that's the case, make sure you don't have tons of other stuff going on your phone when you play.
I tried to free up memory before running the game. But this still didn't improve my problem. I still get the app jumping out of the loading screen while performing a task.
Damn, we honestly have no idea about what's going on because we tested this through the official android simulators using your phone model and I also tested it on my own phone and we can't replicate the bug... (which means we can't do much to fix it unless we somehow have more info)
Hi i have a question in quest with Sol,where i should open 4 chests, i find only two, where others?
You mean with Seilon? There are 2 on the left and 2 on the right
i mean here
okay i solve it,but i have another question, for now Seilon and Ayers have only 2 Finisher and normal animation?
Yes, newer characters don't have as many as other characters yet
also am i correct, Lenga cant be training for now? because his prismint not available to craft?
He can be. His crest is acquired a little diffrently than others because he doesn't have a world related to him. Do the mission "An angel among demons" on the adventure board ;)
How I defeat Enravel?, I defeat his monsters, but when I attack him, he doesn't receive damage
I assume you are attacking him with Cervius and Enravel has high Resistance. You need to attack him with Asker
HI! how do i unlock the new character?
If you have the subscribed version, then go to the board after completing Daemonheim's chapter 1 and then complete the mission "An angel among demons" (the name is something along those lines)
the mission about asker is so difficult
Don't rush the middle, use the door on the sides
I need help in Alastor conquest, I deleete al enemies but I don't know how to keep going
How in the absolute fatherfuck am I supposed to beat the fight at the docks??? Is it SUPPOSED to be unwinnable? because it sure fucking seems that way. I have restarted over and over and over trying new approaches, and nothing works. I can't swap out heroes, because that would be TOO easy; I have leif, shade, aeren and cervius all completely maxed, though admittedly I don't have all the specials for them, simply because i haven't found them all. I mean I am REALLY trying to do this one stupid fight without cheating, but I can't, and I have retried this fight TWENTY SEVEN FUCKING TIMES.
There are five huge reasons why this fight is clearly unwinnable
1 (biggest offender): automatic counter attacks (WHICH I CANNOT DISABLE) from my heroes end up killing the sanguine guards who i'm NOT ALLOWED TO HARM??? FOR SOME REASON??? Would it not make more sense that knocking some sense into them the first time around brings them around so that they're back in the fight on my side, and THEN I have to make sure they aren't harmed? Instead of, ya know, not allowed to touch them at all?
2: the sanguine captain dies like... really easily, and even his special moves cause him to lose HP
3: pretty much all the tenebris dragons' attacks cause bleedout effects, which on a couple of occasions killed Aeren and the sanguine captain in the same turn
4: every time I manage to close the distance and kill one or two tenebris agents, THREE FUCKING MORE appear within one or two turns (not enough time for me to close distance with more enemies)
5: the supposed backup I get after the tenebris leader gets impatient and pulls more agents out of their ass, well, this backup guy, a SINGLE dragon (sure, 110 hp, but i can't control them and they're stupid far away) laughably, literally as far as possible from the fight as can be.
I have painstakingly tried over and over to find a way to win this fight without using my ONLY FREE SKIP, and without cheating or scumming or save editing.... and I just cannot fucking do it. Please for the love of god, at the very least, nerf the enemy in some way, if you're not going to get rid of the stupid mechanic where I can't even wake the sanguine guys up from whatever spell the tenebris dudes have them under, then at the very least, get rid of at least half the number of agents, or give me a way to choose whether or not to counter attack, or buff the sanguine guards so they aren't so easy to kill.
For now though... I am done driving myself crazy trying to figure out how to beat this mission, and thus I am left with no choice but to skip it, if only to save my own sanity.
Hey there, I fear there was an overlooked mechanic because we forgot to enable the tutorial popup. You can use Cervius to interact with the mindcontrolled Sanguine units which will allow you to dispel the mindcontrol on them. This should make your life much easier in that mission.
As a side note, you can also get other stage skips items by crafting them (you get the special crafting material for those from the arena minigame)
i stuck at asker mission
In what way?
oh i understand now thx
ลังกาสามารถรับที่ไหนก็ได้
แรด ขอถามหน่อย
1,Feeble Clothes สามารถ นำมาใส่ในแกลอรี่ได้ไหม บางทีมันดูไม่ทัน
2,ปรับภาพตคงไหน พอดีมันค่อนค้างหน่วง
3,ฉากต่อสู้ที่ทำมาใหม่ดีมาสมจริง ว่าแต่สามารถปรับฉากต่อสู้ให้เป็นแบบเดิมได้ไหม?
1- Not currently planned but maybe later on. They should be more visible with the new battles at least as they stay between battles.
2- If you're on PC, you can enable the low detail mode in the options to speed up the game
3- Not something we're planning, but we might try to make the combat skippable by pressing a key or tapping the screen later on (though this might take a while to be implemented)
Hey! the new update is amazing I like the art changed and the new update of combat gameplay but it really lag on my phone do you have any advice
Had a look at it and noticed the shadows are somehow enabled with the low detail option which is most likely what makes the game lag out. I'll upload a new version for that as soon as we have the fix ;)
There we go, the new APK should be up ;)
Thank you guys I like this game so much thanks for the fix
And by the way I think you should remove the clouds It appears overdone and covers a lot of the screen and the new combat gameplay take kinda alot time i like the old combat gameplay but the new is fun to maybe it will take me a while to get used to it
a question when the new version of the game comes out on Android on the itch.io page?
Soon! We got a last minute addition to do that might take a few days but after that we'll be releasing the new demo! (We want to add the possibility to use the Android chunks on PC for those with lower end PCs)
I'm going to be your member once I got verified my PayPal account <3
Thank you! :D
Hii May i ask you how to get wolf's bite and sun's kiss? I've been stuck to find it TvT
Wolf's bite is by milking Fenris and Sun's Kiss is by milking Aeren
Ahhh icic TvT thank u sm! Wish you the best for this project!
Thanks!
Yay your already heree
Hey Not related to this game but is there any chance palestra can play on mobile? (Sorry I'm bad at English))
No because some parts of the game aren't designed for that and wouldn't work ><
สวัสดีเรด ฉันมาจากประเทศไทย ฉันไม่รู้ว่าจะปล่อยฉากนี้ออกมาได้อย่างไร
You either need to lose or surrender using the option in the menu during Aeren's stage to unlock it. Aeren's stage is the one where you play as him the first time.
Thank you so much Red, finally got the scene x All scenes are complete. So after Dragon World, which world will you update next and when?
For now, we're focused on doing some very important reworks to base systems. After that, we want to progress the main story a bit ;)
The next planned world, however, is called Kogetsu City and it's modern world
No Milk Farm???
The milk farm is unlocked via the main story by completing chapter 1 of Daemonheim.
I completed but there's no more mission actually, and the Milk Farm isn't there.
Mmmh unless I'm missing something, it's possible a variable didn't trigger properly. Try replaying 1-4 and 1-5 without skipping the cutscenes. (the demo version is getting pretty old and we've made several fixes since then so it's hard to remember it all. We should be pushing out a new version at the end of this month though)
Out of curiosity, did you start your game scratch with this version or did you use a save from somewhere else / a previous version?
I restarted everything and re-install it. Yet the game has no farm. May you update this version? It's pretty boring 😔.
I need Android update pls 🥹
You should be able to download the game for Android
