Update 18.05.09

Update 18.05.09 is now up for the Windows version and in the update files. MacOS and Linux version will follow.

The update contains:

- The second path for the events with the prince and the servant in the capital of Dorgania. There is a hidden switch above the events location, as shown in the screenshot above, which lets player reset the event. This is for the sake of people that did the first path for the event last update when there wasn't a choice, but want to see or prefer the other option.  

- CG scenes for the good path of the slaves Chieko and Glyntris (white hair wolf girl and green hair elf with green wings). The scenes can be seen at the brothel or at your castle when they're your maids. The scenes at the castle require the secret room to be known to you, and for Glyntris you need to know about Ebron as well.

Update 18.04.23

 Update 18.04.23 is now up at Gamejolt, MEGA and HiDrive:
(Mediafire is missing due to connection problems)

- Red Imps have new CGs and dialogs, similar to the grey Imps last update.
- A new slave can be bought at the slaver in Sunee. She can be send to your dungeon, the brothel or your castle.
- The sex scene with the slave Miyako has received additional CG edits, so that she still has the cum on her chest if you released it on it during the oral scene before. The edited images can also be seen at the CG room.
- There are three new events in Kagabanghui. Two short ones and one a bit longer. In these events, you can help poor people to improve Brad’s trust in you, as his trust in you will be needed in a future event.  (The longer quests is supposed to have two possible routes, but currently only one is available. This route requires you to have 8 eloquence with Ryen from the training with the succubus. The second route will be available in the next update as an alternative. The result is the same, so don’t worry about missing too much.)
- Changing text speed and toggle auto-saving is now changed at a book next to your bed in the castle. (It’s the book that was previously in the entrance hall for the text speed).
- The “toggle auto save” option is no longer in the main menu. The list of options in the menu was also increased, so that all options are visible at once without having to scroll down first.

Update 18.04.10

Update 18.04.10 content: 
- New event with Kayelinth in Lalizan (Dorgania). Starts when talking to the the guy in the top right area, inside a fence and near a new chest. Requires Kayelinth in your party and 1500 gold.   
- New grey Imp battler images and slightly changed dialog at the monsterhall. When you give the Imp at the monsterhall Iron with 80+ relationship, you'll unlock a second CG. [Red Imp also has a new CG, but it's not in the game yet.]
- New warmap battle after the forth battle where you capture Lind. It can be repeated endlessly and gives a bunch of supplies and resources. This is supposed to help the lack of resources due to the limited battles so far. The 6 enemy troops have exactly as many troops as your first 6 units. But you can still overpower them easily either by taking advantage of unit classes/bonis, by having 7+ units, or by having the better upgrades to make your units stronger.
Please let me know if you think the amount of resources obtained from a victory is worth the fight, or if it needs to get increased.
- I added a book at the entrance of your castle in Aldlyn, which allows you to set the message text to appear immediately instead of slowly appearing letter by letter. You can see the book's location in the screenshot above. I'll make a poll on patreon and gamejolt later, whether you would like to have this as default for new games, or keep it the current way.  
 
Known warmap problems:
- The HP/AP bars sometimes don't update themselves to show the correct amount of HP and AP.
- Enemies occasionally attack units in wrong locations, outside of their reach. I think I know where to find those problems, but couldn't find the issue itself yet.    
 
About the long delay:

The last updates have already taken longer than the planned 2 weeks between updates I used to have, but this one has been especially slow. The reasons are a mixture of different things.    I know that I was working too relaxed and little right after the last update when I had enough time, not getting much done, and then I had less time and cursed myself for not using my time better before. That lack of time management due to stuff like flexible working hours and other obligations have been bothering me for a while now.
On the other hand, I was also having a hard time bugfixing the warmap. Players won't see a difference, but a lot of the system was re-worked to make sure the future battles can be added quickly and everything will work flawless. But even after many hours of work parts of it are still bugged, which was incredibly frustrating to me. And that frustration caused me to spend less hours working on the game than I usually do when making normal events, since I „gave up“ and did something else when I hit a dead end again.
I'm personally very dissatisfied with how long this update has taken, and how little new it gives to the player at the same time, even if the content itself turned out well. That's why I'll aim to get back to the bi-weekly updates and push myself some more again.
As I've already proven by doing so before, it's not a matter of „rushing“ myself or anything, but a realistic time frame if I take things serious enough.
My apology to all the people that were patiently waiting for this update for so long.

Update 18.03.06

The new update 18.03.06 is online and contains:

 

- New CG scene in Ebron. Requires the main story to be advanced to after the new dialog with Varea, and the event with Phraan picking flowers. Then you can meet Eloen outside at Ebron with a male elf in front of her. After the dialog there, you need to leave and re-enter the map to continue. You can then find her west of Ebron, where the path leads to another small forest at the storage building.

- Varea has a new dialog after you found the empty chest in Sunee. She'll give you two new quest.

- Lalizan, the poisonwood keep, the El Arma Gravesite, Lualombo and Sinasoka in Dorgania are now all accessable. The last 4 of these 5 have dungeons for the new main story events.

[Riddle solutions in the walkthrough, if needed]

- The second quest of Varea brings you to the Yang Tower. If Chiyo's Magic Knowledge is high enough, you can repair the teleport. The event there include a part which requires Mirel and Elly.

- The NPC's in the new areas have mostly nothing interesting to say yet. They'll receive more dialogs and quest in the future updates.

- Several new enemies were added, the most interesting one should be two Salamander girls, which change to their nude version when you've done enough damage. Give some special love to the artist of the new monstergirls shawn1013 at https://shawn1013.deviantart.com/ !​

- [The new quest "Fragment Hunt" can't be finished yet, since the events at the capital of Dorgania Kagabanghui aren't done.]

- [If you downloaded the version 18.03.05 yesterday or the day before, please update your game. The files were buggy, that's why I made another upload with the version 18.03.06 with all necessary fixes.]

Upcoming changes in the next updates:

- The warmap is still bugged and will receive some special care from me now.

- The new areas still need dialogs and events to fill them with life, so that will be a priority.

- Finishing the new quest by adding the events at Kagabanghui

- Continuation of the events in Amagal with the King and the Earl.

Update 18.02.05

The slaves at the thieves guild were originally created as "decoration" for the guild, since a slave trader seemed very fitting there. But since I added them to the game, there were a lot of people asking when you'll be able to buy or free them. And now it is finally time for them to shine. :) Sadly the CGs for their "good" path aren't done yet, but you can get their "evil" scenes by sending them to the brothel or into your secrect dungeon.

The content this update is solely those CG scenes, but I'm planning to put a more focus on story content and the main characters in the next few month. Which means you can look forward to more events in the next updates, to give you a break from the constant sex. :D

Update Content:

- New CG for Hellhound sex scene added

- Christmas event removed

- You can now buy the four slaves from the thieves guild either at the guild, or at the brothel if you set the law for to allow them.

- Slaves send to your secret dungeon can be raped.

- Slaves send to the brothel can be fucked hard (which are only slightly changed versions of the rape scenes.) and it'll become possible to fuck them gently at the brothel as well in the future.

- Slaves send to your castle will appear at the sleeping chambers in maid outfits. They say one or two lines to thank you, but else don't have any additional content on this path.

- Slaves freed or send to another country for better political relationship disappear for good. They can't be found anywhere or brought back.

Other stuff:

I asked about game merch in the last poll on patreon and gamejolt, which will likely become available in the next few weeks. I'll first put some more effort in designs to make something good, before ordering a single of each item I could imagine selling. If the quality of the print and the design looks good enough, I'll post images of them and further information about how to order them.

Poll: Renryuu merchandise?

After getting a Renryuu themed t-shirt from my brother for christmas, I played with the thought of offering Renryuu merchandise.

The merch would be stuff like cups or t-shirts with special images on them. The design would be shown in advance, and in a previously mentioned timeframe I would gather orders. This would make more sense than taking small orders, as the products get cheaper in higher numbers. The price for cups or shirts would be ~30€ + shipping costs.

The poll is made to check, how many people are even interested in such merch, and would purchase it if the design is good enough.

Below I’ll add example images I quickly made with some existing game CGs. Please keep in mind that these are just examples, the final product is likely to be different.

Update 18.01.08

Update 18.01.08 content:

 

- The snow effect and presents of the christmas special are removed with this update. The christmas CG scene will be removed in the next update, as I forgot to do so before uploading. ^_^

- The brothel can now be entered. It doesn't have any whores yet, but you'll be able to purchase the slaves from the thieves guild later to change that. Other planned options for them is to send them to your dungeon, free them, or give them as presents to other countries to improve your relationship with them.

- A new event with Lady Akira at the brothel. You'll need the event where you could pick to change Grey back or not before you can meet Lady Akira there.

- Cumshot edits have been added for the new CGs of the headmaid's scene and Elly's titfuck scene.

- The capital of Dorgania, Kagabangui has been added. You can explore the city and each building, but there are no events in the city yet.

As with previous updates, it's only uploaded to my server at stratos when I make this post. The uploads to MEGA and Mediafire will follow tomorrow.

Update 17.12.26 - The christmas special

After several delays, the christmas update is finally done. :)

 

Content:

• A change of the tilesets to make everything in Central and Amagal covered in snow and ice. [Will look strange at places, since not everything was changed and the maps were not made for it obviously.]
• Presents were placed all over the world, mostly outside but in a few rare cases inside.
• Special CG scene, which can be slightly altered by two special presents. If you can’t find where the CG scene starts, maybe sleep a night over it. ;)
• The new warmap system is working but not bug-free yet. I’ll continue to work on it and take care of all problems in the next days. My apologize for the inconvinient in the meantime.
• Elly’s titfuck CG was updated with the new CG version. If you already played the scene, you can check it at the CG room. :)

The changes for christmas, including the snow, presents and special CG scene, will be removed in an update early next year. Make sure you get everything while you can. ;) 

 

Download only available at https://my.hidrive.com/share/ijp41t-our for now. Upload to Mega and Mediafire will follow.

Update 17.11.29

Windows version and Update files only for version 17.11.29 are now online at https://my.hidrive.com/share/ijp41t-our
Mac and Linux version will follow tomorrow.

Changes:
- Continuation of the main story line! Talk to Varea for the new quest.
- The dialog of Varea was changed. Instead of having several choices, she'll now tell you about Lace's location immediately and the main story will only proceed after defeating and capturing Lace.
- Additional floor for the secret prison. A guard there will give you a quest, which is required to get a new CG scene with Lace.
- 2 new cities, Minsk and Sunee.
- During the ship cruise to Minsk, you can talk with each party member privately. The dialogs with party members you don't have yet can still be obtained by repeating the cruise later.
- A new dungeon, which includes the new enemy Anubis and Big/Small Spidergirls with placeholder sprites. The character sprites will change once I have an artist for them. All three new monsters are not catchable with Soul Lanterns yet.
- Several important characters have been added in the new content.
- The old CG of the head maids blowjob has been replaced by a remake from Mirayna.
- Corrected spelling mistakes in several old areas.
- Added new music. The new enemies all have different music playing for the battles with them. I might make similar changes to existing enemies, to make the battle music more varied.
- Improved the overview map tutorial with images for the stength/weakness of unit classes, and a legend for the resource images.
- Increased starting resources on the overview map. The new bonus can also be obtained in save game, by going to the overview map from the dialog option of Sir Edward in your throne room.

I gathered a bunch of new assets, which will give me many new options for new maps and characters. You won't get to see everything immediately, but it should add some nice details every now and then now.  My thanks goes out to the artists, who allowed the assets to be used for free. You can find a list with all of them and links to their posts in the game credit page.

The warmap was not changed yet. I'll re-write the system for movement and properly test them in the following days, in order to make sure it'll improve things and not make it worse.
Other bugs in the warmap will also be taken care of along the way. I'll probably release these changes in a few days as a "mini" update.

An update of the walkthrough is also on my list for the coming days.

Progress report 17.11.21

Next update will still take a while. I wanted to finish it in time, but then decided to add a bit more rather than slashing it off for the sake of making the upload in time. ^^

- The next update will continue the main story line, finally introducing the main antagonist and giving some more information about his intentions.
- It also contains the first ship travel, which will include the option to speak alone with a party member during the journey. It'll be similar to how you can speak alone with one of the party members in the events at the south dungeon, where the party splits into several groups for a short moment. But in this case, you'll be able to speak with all party members and re-play the journey later again, in case you didn't have a party member before.
- I spend a bunch of hours getting some new graphics for characters and maps. You might not see much of it immediately, but it'll increase my options for the future. Some of it will be visible in the new maps, like the ship in the screenshot. :)

As result of the poll for the games weakpoint on patreon, I've ordered the remakes of several old CGs. This currently includes the titfuck CG of Elly, the blowjob from the headmaid, the sex scene with Hellhound and the sex scene with Kurohime where Ryen was shown from behind and looked like a child. There are a few more on my list, that might be remade later, but those four immediately came to my mind when thinking about where to start. Look forward to see their upgrades. :)

Update 17.11.08

- New finances, laws and policies system. The system allows you to make several choices on how the country will be governed. The choices will affect 7 new variables of the people in your country, which will increase or decrease in the background while you do other things. There are no new events based on these numbers yet, but will be used in the future updates.

 

- New event with Vampire, starting at the Aldlyn city board with a new bounty quest.

 

- New event with Sia, starting at the sleeping chambers. Requires the Aldlyn bar upgrade from the overview map.

 

- New Icons at the CG room will now show which girl´s can get pregnant and if they are already impregnated.

 

- Changes to the option menu, allowing you to change the window color, and switch to wasd control or change the keyboard config manually for each key.  

 

 

 

General notes:

- I've pushed back the bug fixes for the warmap again and again for several weeks now, so I'll put a focus on it during the next few days. Please let me know in details about any problems you have or had, to help me get rid of all problems the system still has. If it's a longer description of a bug, at best with screenshots, please send it to Naughty-Netherpunch@web.de instead of making a mess in the comment section. Thank you! :)

 

- I've recently posted the update files for new updates first in discord, while the full version uploads are still on the way. If you want to get the updates faster, and see information about the ongoing development of the next update ahead of time, make sure to drop by. ;) You can find the discord channel at https://discord.gg/A79WrBq

 

 

Changes to the patron rewards: 

The full size CG previews will now be available for +5$ patrons as well, rather than just the game size version.
