Just came back to the game after a long rest. Somehow, the scenes when 'refreshing' isnt showing up. Has there been a change to that or is it a bug?
Those scenes were move to the Stage Performance minigame. The minigame can be accessed after getting the throne room upgrade and interacting with the throne
This game is very fun, although I missed out on many beautiful scenes because I don't understand English.
Unfortunately there is no plan for translations because I'm not good enough with other languages (unless there's some way to automatically do machine translations at some point)
I hv some question. I already get the "!" That plays 69 fenris cutscene, but then i went to a Conquest and after im done, its gone. Can i still get that again or i already skipped the cutscene???
Yes it can still appear randomly and you can also manually trigger it in Cervius's bedroom using the scrying pool
Is there no any way to make the mobile version run faster?🥺 I already done the quest to unlock aeren, but since i choose the option i didnt want(which is "my Faithful servant) i had to log off the game and since theres no save button during quest, i lost all my progress.
I wouldnt mind restarting again since its not that far yet, but bc the battlefield moves like 1 fps(including text, effects, and everything else) and lag so so bad, i kinda like- wanna cry rn🥲🥲🥲
We unfortunately already reduced the lag as much as we could for now, but there should be an auto save between stages?
There is, but the autosave stops at before we do the quest, so like i hv to do everything from the beginning lol🥲. Also can we deploy more units rather than one in side mission? I unlock that and now i hv to progress it, but i already done anything like clicking, scrolling, hold it, but i cant deploy fenris and aeren, only cervius.🥺
that's done in the menu at the start of the mission, you should be able to deploy up to 4 (or more depending on missions)
How? Do i like- just simply click it? Bc it doesnt work for me cause of the lag. I know this is stupid but- i just don't know what happened🥲, like- all i can do is just switch between them, but i cant deploy aeren and fenris at all.
Are you sending them out in Adventures? Because if they're on adventures you can't deploy them
i format my laptop and my saves lost how i get them back?
It depends how you formatted your laptop but unfortunately those could be lost. I can't really help you on that end.
thx
Really great game!
There's one thing I don't get though: how do you get the bottles of c*m? I've put servants on the farm but I've only been able to milk one once and otherwise nothing happens passively.
Same thing with the dais on which the servants "work", i don't understandq
when the wits pop (it seems random).Thanks!
The resource nodes will fill up after every combat or after you sleep in the bed.
I've completed everything, still waiting for months for the new update 😭 (experienced some bugs tho)
The demo won't be updated as often as the subscribed version. I only update the demo when we make changes to the systems, the story itself won't go further but I do plan on updating it when we rework the conquest map which will affect the story a bit.
I have all the materials for my throne room, but why can't I build it
The first or second level? I don't see why you wouldn't be able to build either though
first
How far are you into the story and do you have enough Essence to build the room?
Is Toriel's image (like, the little picture that appears next to the dialogue box) AI-generated?
AI images are placeholders. I don't remember if that's still the case in the demo version, but recently Coco redrew all the AI portraits we still had to be hand drawn.
is there a full version
Not currently, there's only a version with more content for people subbed on my patreon/fanbox/subscribestar. We're still developing the game.
i might be missing it but where the hell is the download button
I'm stuck at the the crafting of the first magic slave. Specifically, I'm at the timed part with the anvil. I'm confused at what I'm supposed to cuz the timer doesn't run out. It just stays at 1 second remaining, but doesn't go any lower.
I think that's because you're in the tutorial. Click on the runes with the same symbol indicated in the middle
I've done that, but the timer still stays at 1. Is there something I'm missing?
I've done that, but the timer still stays at 1. Is there something I'm missing?
Nevermind, I got the game to work properly
Missing Acolytes this task is too difficult. I have tried many times but I can't pass it. Can the author provide some ideas?
Which mission is this? Asker's? If so, you don't go into Enravel's range without being able to attack. Asker can defeat him in one strike if you engage on him first.
Thanks to the author's proposal, I finally passed. This game is really great,I love this game.
I want to know how to unlock three new stories
What do you mean?
oh they're not exactly new, it's cutscenes we added when reworking to the 3D stages to make the cutscene work with the stage. You'd have to replay the stage to unlock them in the gallery (which I don't think is possible without restarting but it's not worth restarting for that)
When is the next version?
We released two new versions for subscribers but we'll wait for some time before update the itch version so that all the game system reworks are done.
Hey. Sorry, I unlocked alastor a few days ago and i have no idea on how to progress in the story. I've tried doing the trixium order missions and sleeping over and over again but with no result. I only unlocked the Aerin and Fenris beach scene but thats about it.
Go on the board and complete the other adventures there to unlock further characters and missions
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
Knowing Asker can one shot the boss helped, I was able to beat it finally
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)
