How to upgrade your game after a patch.

This quick video shows you, how you can use the "update files only" to upgrade your game version without having to download the entire game every update.
I hope this video will make it easier for people to understand, how to use the update files only.
Please let me know if anything is still unclear and needs to be added to the video.

Update 29.01.17

The new game version is ready and contains:

- You can turn into a female again, even after Grey's event, with Lady Akira's help, by talking to her in Witton.

- Several balancing changes: Elements have a greater effect on most characters. For example, Ryen takes way more damage from light and water attacks, but less from fire and darkness attacks. Also the def stat of several enemies were increased to make attacking with elements more important.

- Vampire's Fire spell was deleted. Instead, she has a new spell to make her normal attacks deal darkness element damage.

- New enemy type "Lost Soul" can be found in a few dungeons (for example, at the top floor of the Skylo Tower). They are light element creatures and take additional damage from darkness spells and attacks.

- New event for Sandra in the cave near the wooden house in Begus (where you get the mithril lockpick). For 15,000 gold, Sandra can learn the darkness element attack "Shadow Strike" in this event.

- Paperwork was fixed again, to prevent the reappearing of the orc camp event.

- New event with the maid Mary, which starts in the throne room where she serves drinks. This event includes a new CG scene. During the event you'll also see the new "Girl selection" screen of the headmaid, where you can pick the girls she can bring to your hidden room. (currently only Mary is available)

- Fixed spelling and grammar errors during the second meeting in Begus.

- New event for Elly, starting at the sleeping chambers, where she tells you about a blacksmith that sells guns. The merchant only sells simple guns, in case someone sold his gun by accident before. Selling a gun is impossible now to prevent this.

General news:

- On monday, I will post a poll at my patreon page for all 1$+ pledges to decide on the next maid to receive a CG scene.

- Within the next few days, all patrons will get a special update with the start of the patron poll event, and can vote on how it'll continue. The finished event will later be available for all players.

- I will announce 2 new CG artists, with previews of their work for the game, on wednesday at my blog and patreon page. The patron pledge tiers will also be changed to seperate the custom CG scene rewards for each artist, allowing people to get the CG from their favorite artist.

- Soul Lantern quest was fixed (again) and should finish as intended now.
- Kayelinth' hunger and playlust, as well as Ryoko's need for order increase over time now.

- 3 new maps in Begus have been added to the game:

Diminus Castle: The new political meeting takes place here.
Skylo Tower: An undead infested tower with a riddle and traps making it even harder to reach the top of the tower.
Pumumu: A village of outcasts in Begus.


Changes that are not in this update but will be added soon:
- Higher importance of elements in battle.
- Vampire bathhouse scene available even after Grey's new events.
- Event during which Sandra learns a new skill.

Patrons  will from now on be able to vote on patreon events. These special  events will be created with an open end and patrons can vote in what  direction the event should continue. If you're interested to take part  and want to shape a part of the game, you can take a look at the patreon  page and all other patron rewards at www.patreon.com/naughtynetherpunch

Progress report 7

Upcoming new maps:

I've recently made three new maps, as I'm aiming to finish all maps in Begus in the near future. Obviously they won't have as many events yet but provide new areas to work with. Once they're filled with a lot of great events, I will finally start with Dorgania.

Diminus Castle:

The Diminus Castle is a new city in Begus. The next political meeting with them will hold place in this castle. Beside two normal houses the city also has a mage store and a blacksmith.

Skylo Tower

The Skylo Tower is a undead infested building in the north of Begus. But don't worry, there is a riddle on the first floor preventing any fools to get further inside and get themselves killed. ;)

 Pumumu

Far away from any other inhabitant places lies the pretty village Pumumu. The village was founded by people that were oppressed in the religious Begus because of their races. As all of their men were killed in a useless struggle of resistance, the village has a lot of strong women ready to protect their new found home.

Update 10.01.17

Happy new year everyone! A new update is up and contains:

- A  new npc at the Twin Ale Tower in Begus who sells 3 love potions.
- Changed speed and gold outcome for mines. The miningspeed upgrade from the skilltree is now way more important for it.
- Sparkle effect on holes with items in it, so that you can see if you already got the item or if that hole still has one in it.
- Soul Lantern quest is fixed and will now be shown as finished in the questlog when you talk to Meilira again.
- New events with Grey, starting at the city board in Aldlyn if you had the fight with him in Thremten before and the bathhouse built.
- New CG scene after the events with Grey (unless you make a certain choice).

Progress report 6

The next update will still take a while so I wanted to make this post to inform you of the status.

New events certain in the next update:
- More about Grey, the self proclaimed rival of Ryen from the academy.

Fixes and changes:
- Mira + Vampire scene will be added to the CG selection screen to let you replay it and watch the alternativ choice as well.
- The Soul Lantern quest was fixed so that the quest will now finish properly. This will also work in savefiles where you already finished the quest events when you bring the npc a new soul lantern.
- Miras scene in the hidden room will now be a requirement for her scene together with Vampire. Her dialog about not knowing what the room is for would otherwise make no sense.

I have 8 finished CGs at the moment which are waiting to be added to the game. So you'll certainly have a lot to look forward to at the start of 2017!

I wish everyone a good start into 2017! :)

Update 24.12.16

Merry christmas!
A new update has been uploaded with a special christmas event and a new CG scene.

The christmas event starts at the city board if you have the previous paperwork on your desk done (Last event there is the orc camp raid with Kurohime). After reading the message on the city board you'll be able to take quests at your desk to gather presents for each of your party member and start the feast of gratitude once you feel ready. It's possible to start the feast without having presents for all characters but they might not be pleased with that.

The CG event has a special CG with 5 different edits and two girls in it. The characters for this "2+ girls CG" were decided in a poll between my patrons earlier so you can thank them if you like the outcome.


You can also get signature banners for Renryuu in the download section of the blog now.

Bugfix 14.12.16

Sadly a bug sneaked into the game which caused different problems after Kayelinth new scene. I uploaded a new fixed version and the files "Renryuu update files 11.12.16 to 14.12.16 (bugfix only!)" to update the previous 11.12.16 version without having to download the entire game again.

 

Seeing as how my patreon site has stagnated for a while I have added two new milestones to motivate some people to pledge. 

New milestones: 

450$ - Increase of the quality of all new CGs from Scarletts from cell shaded to fully shaded. 

750$ - Promised update every 7-10 days. (Should any grave events in my life prevent this I’ll make sure to write an announcement and make up for it afterwards.)

Update 11.12.16

 

A new version has been uploaded. It contains:

• A fix for the broken red imp lanterns.
• New face images and CG battler pictures for red and green slimegirls.
• The version date is now visible in the main menu.
• New paperwork on the desk in your room which includes a mission with Kurohime scouting an orc camp.
• Alternative way to get Millaines CG scene through a quest if you picked not to open her box in her previous quest. (It’s the same scene with her, so you’re not missing out on anything either way.)
• 2 new requests on the city board in Aldlyn if you haven’t upgraded the public health for the clinic or bathhouse yet.
• New CG scene for Kayelinth if you have her vegetable garden event done, the bathhouse build and 70+ relationship with her.

Have fun! :)

Update 27.11.16

A new update is online, but since I had almost no time to work on the game this week it has no new content. Instead it mostly contains improvements and fixes:

- Red imps already caught with soul lanterns can now be catched again. This is to prevent people with save files from before the last update to miss out on the red imps on the farm. As with all other monster types on the farm, only up to 3 are visible on the farm no matter how many you catch.

- Lower speed on the city board to make selecting events easier.

- The warmap not has the option to reset in order to play it again from the start.

- Small balance changes on the katryx armor parts.

- Fixed the request quest from the doctor for Wild Dispel Herbs.

- The warmap now has different music in the background for the map and strategy parts.

There wasn't enough time to have my gametester check everything, so if you find any bugs please be so kind to leave a comment and inform me about it.

I probably won't be able to make much new content next week as well but afterwards I'll have a lot more time again. So I thought we could use the time to talk about all the stuff which I was planning to work on in the near future. Please keep in mind that this list does not contain everything and is missing general stuff like new CG scenes and new maps.

- Continuation of the main story line

- More Monsters and events for the Whisperwind farm

- More about the Windspirit and her conection to Vampire/Ryen

- Events for the ghostgirl Shey, Hellhound and Leneth.

- Alternative way to get the CG scene for Millaine if you decided not to open her box

- Headmaid choices to sleep with side characters

- More about the noble girl Elina

- Merchant / Spy associations

- Result of your choices during Miras quest with the Icespirit

- More paperwork on your desk

- Option to set laws and policies for your kingdom

- Battle with Lace after obtaining the Katryx Blade

- Event about the friendship between Kayelinth and Chiyo

- More political meetings with other countries

- Events with the commander of your old academy

Please feel free to write in the comments what you're looking to or what you're not really interested in.

In the picture above you can see the design of a monster hall in the top level of your castle. It's supposed to be similar to the Whisperwind farm and provide housing made especially for the different types of monsters in the game. Currently I don't have enough unique monsters to make proper use of this, so it won't be used for a long time, but once I got more this is where you'll be able to keep and play with them. :)

Update 20.11.16

The new update is online and contains:

- Red Imps at the Whisperwind farm now seperated from normal Imps

- New visual and 3 new requests for the city board during which you'll be able to play as the catgirl Jackie and a new slimegirl character.

- The book author/seller in Thremten now sells books even if you don't have Tsubakis quest for a book about warfare

- Knocky in Ebron now sells a recipe for Katryx armors after you had the dialog about the Katryx weapon with her.

- The succubus can only increase your relationship with other countries up to 5 times. (Counts starts at zero even in saves where you already had used this option)

- The warmap has a new battle system and formation is replaced by research.

- Units in the new warmap battle system gain experience for each defeated enemy soldier.

- You can now craft Big Potions.

General information:

- You can continue to play your old progress by copying the old save folder into the folder of the new game version.

-  Saveslot 19 and 20 are used for auto-saves. Don’t save your own  progress there if you don’t want it to get overwritten with auto-saves  or toggle off auto-saves in the main menu.

- You can find a "update  files only" zip in the download folder, which contains only the  changed/added files since the last version 06.11.16. If you already have  the previous version you can download these files by themselves instead  of downloading the entire game again. These files are not necessary  when you download the entire new game version "Renryuu Ascension  Testversion 20.11.16". I  would appreciate it if someone could help me by writing a good  summary/description of the game. I would use this to replace my outdated  game description at the places the game has been posted.
