Update 1.7
Added 2024-07-05 16:01:39 +0000 UTCI did it. Yeah...
The update was being finalized literally today. So you can expect some roughness in the text. I'll fix it in the next week or two. There should be no critical bugs (such that make passing impossible). In any case, I got to the end point on all my saves on all possible routes. But you can't rule out some crossings of variables that will give a completely different result than planned. Although this is always and everywhere possible. If you come across such oddities, please tell me.
Regarding the changes to the Ability descriptions. I remember about them, but because of the rush and the desire to meet the deadline, they were prioritized too low. However, I have made Joe Steel's corrections to the Agility and Willpower descriptions as they relate to grammar.
Well, the update is in the attachments. Enjoy.

2024-07-27 13:15:50 +0000 UTCOh! The sanctuary of Tanasta, you say?+? I probably missed some things down there (yep, Indeed: too busy doing naughty games with Io and Mer;-๐), but ok: thanks for this information Gript of Dragon, cause I'll go check it out right away my bud! -๐-!

2024-07-16 05:12:47 +0000 UTCWow, Wolf, thank you so much! You helped me out a lot friend.๐๐บ๐บ
Gript
2024-07-16 02:01:54 +0000 UTCWoah! Impressive memory D.E. ! Thanks for your time letting me know, I had no idea.
Gript
2024-07-16 01:59:30 +0000 UTCThere's more of a long, drawn-out sound, like "e-ะตmmm", which in English is more often spelled as "umm", which is uncustom to me because they are two different sounds in my language, reflecting slightly different emotions. But, what's the point of arguing here? No point at all. Let's go with "erm". Replaced. Thank you.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-12 18:52:32 +0000 UTCHeya, D.E.! [^๐^] Is everything going well for you?? By the way; It seems to me that I've spotted a small error in the game text, could you take a quick look on it please?-๐-? It's in the first chapter: in Master Sargon's tent, just after the contract has been signed, Io explains to Selene that her predecessor had left them after becoming pregnant. In passing: one wonders well who could have committed such a dark misdeed!-๐+๐-! In any event, I've chosen the following dialog line: how did she get pregnant? And so it's just at this moment (the beginning of Io's reply), that I feel like there's a consonant missing here: an "r" in this case, which should probably be placed right in the middle of that weird << Em? >>. Yep, yep, not an classic < Erm? > just an simple < Em? >!&! It's just a very little detail that I'd noticed (and my English is still rather limited, I'm must admit of course), but I wanted to point it out to you anyway.
Lonely Wolf
2024-07-12 14:17:38 +0000 UTCMany thanks for your good advices, the friend! [^๐+๐+โค๏ธ^]
Lonely Wolf
2024-07-11 19:48:46 +0000 UTCWell, for those hints, that's why I suggested you go through the alternate route. After all, what's the point of alternatives if one of them is unambiguously better? With Mer's death, you also get something unique. Like, questions and hints that the other alternative doesn't have.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-11 19:36:53 +0000 UTCHi to you D.E.!-โ๏ธ-! Well, exceptionally I took the path of letting Mer die, as you advised me. In passing: I noticed that we lost 2 points of insight by following this path!-๐คฏ-! In the moment, it seemed a little stiff to me, nonetheless when I reflects about it I think you were right to apply these penalties; there is nothing illogical about it effectively. As for my martial training questions for Yut; uh?&? He seemed to agree with that but told me it was neither the place nor the time!+! So this should be done in the next updates, I guess? Otherwise, there's one thing that intrigued me: I succeeded at a level 3 intelligence test and it said something like fast and close attacks, then when I told Yut about this, he asked me if I I got along well with Io, and that's when I found it weird! Looks like there's some mystery here, right? I mean that I'm seriously starting to wonder about Io's past... Nevertheless, I have my own idea about it: so she's a former courtesan indeed but at this stage, it wouldn't surprise me if she may also have commited in much SHADY activities, yeah! Okay D.E., I know that you're not going to reveal anything to me about this, but whatever cause I still wanted to talk to you about it!! Anyway, I'll wait for the next updates to find out more!!!
Lonely Wolf
2024-07-11 19:12:45 +0000 UTCNo, that's not what you want to know... You want to know if it's gonna backfire on you, I guess. But I don't know how to answer that without saying too much. Some things have consequences. But... all I can recommend here is to follow your roleplay and your understanding of your character, instead of trying to predict the consequences.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-10 00:50:24 +0000 UTCWill we be able to tell Mer what shameful thing we did to him while he was delirious? Dunno if this would be spoilery to tell us yet.
HarleyQueen
2024-07-09 22:33:25 +0000 UTCOverall, there is less content in the Mer's death variant. But at the same time, many dialogues and situations are changed. The guy died. Selene is affected by this. It also makes her think about her own death, dangers, and ways to protect herself. And there will be a moment like that with Yuturna. "Teach me how to fight." That (the recent death of a companion) is, from my perspective, a much better justification for that dialogue than the option of where everyone is alive.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-09 21:18:59 +0000 UTCAh, ah, ah! It seems that I have been spotted!&! Alright, yep I admit: I was hoping to have some additional informations from you!-๐ -! But more seriously, I thank you for your answer because NO, I've NEVER explored the path of letting Meralion get eaten "greedily" by this nasty jumpers. What's wrong with your head?-๐ฎ-? You are certainly not serious there, cause know that I love this character TOO MUCH (๐) to let him die in this shameful way!!! However, I'm going to make an real exception here and so check out what you just revealed to me, right away! And thanks again D.E.; be aware that you're truly the best Dev of the world !-๐+๐+๐-!
Lonely Wolf
2024-07-09 21:08:33 +0000 UTCAh ah ah! Are you trying to pull little spoilers out of me, don't you? :) There's no way I can answer that, not by revealing this or that. But I see what people are asking for. That doesn't mean I'm going to change my plans, but I see it. P.S. Did you go through the branch where Meralion is dead? The dialogues with Yuturna change there. And there's an option where Selene asks him to train her to fight. Check it out. See what he answers her. And that's all I can say right now.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-09 20:22:14 +0000 UTCHey! [-๐ค-] Two boring days ahead, huh? Aside from sex (Gangbang in sight, perhaps?), couldn't Selene also train in the techniques... uh? I mean nothing very serious, but maybe some basic combat stuff; attack and/or defense, no?? I already imagine this would be a good time now, with Yuturna as a mentor or even the other hunters who all have experience in this matter!+! And then it seems rather logical to me, because after the attack of the jumpers Selene could possibly feel the desire to be a little less vulnerable in the future (regarding her personal security). Well, D.E.; I guess that my suggestion is very small chance to excite you a lot but as they often say: nothing comes to nothing!!!

Lonely Wolf
2024-07-09 19:01:51 +0000 UTCWell, this whole scene was intended as an integration along with the other events around it. Sex itself is a pretty boring thing to describe. But if you integrate it with other events, before, during, and after, it's more interesting. Although yes, there won't be many scenes that big. It takes a lot of effort and time to do that kind of detailing. And yet... in some parts, it's surely worth it.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-07 21:03:04 +0000 UTCHey, D.E.! Hi to you!-โ๏ธ-! Speaking of sex: know that I managed to get him to talk at your big fella. He said to me just one word: "Twelve". I found this scene with him incredibly LONG (you didn't writing of dead hands with that one, huh?). First the little game of the (big) cat [^๐ฑ^] and the (cute) mouse [^๐ญ^], next the intensive double fuck, then the "cool swimming" and so the return to hunter' camp... Despite everything, I noticed that it was an excellent way to get increase the experience (especially for the agility and the intrigue) but also the reserve of insight points!-๐-! Anyway: after what Lynis told me about of this "female slaves", I understand perfectly the meaning of this "Twelve". Oh! Goodbye, yeah good bye; to the virginity of my heiress Selene, I suppose so?-๐ง-?
Lonely Wolf
2024-07-07 19:01:03 +0000 UTCYou're welcome :) There will be really a lot of sex in the next update. A moment like this... it's too early to go back to the troupe, so what can Selene do for one two boring days? Oh, I don't even know...
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-07 00:44:42 +0000 UTCOh she probably is with how much she got fucked! TY for the cool story and lots of sex!

2024-07-06 23:52:22 +0000 UTCThank you~... *Gets carried away by angels.*
Rally Jingle
2024-07-06 15:32:13 +0000 UTCOh, thank you so much. There is a missing $ sign before the variable, because of which the game can't recognize that it is a variable. The variable itself in that passage is responsible for the option that you didn't visit that place while on the island. It's not a critical bug (just doesn't display the description correctly), so don't worry - you can continue playing. Just in case, there should just be this description standing there (well, in case you were wondering): "There's sort of a slope down to a little beach. This is the waters of that very lake I've struck in the middle of for two days. But there's some sort of passage between the hills, filled with water, like a waterway. Hmm... A water branch from the lake? Funny. In those past two days, I never discovered this place before."
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-06 02:04:42 +0000 UTCI think you did tell us to let you know if we ran into an error. If I go "south-west" I run into this error: Error: <>: bad conditional expression in <> clause (#1): ra2251 is not defined
Lars
2024-07-06 01:46:05 +0000 UTCActually, there is a forum (f95zone), the game there has its own thread, and there, somewhere around page 25, if I'm not mistaken, discussed the rings around the planet, what they may consist of, and a lot of other - science! -, yeah.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-06 00:23:46 +0000 UTCIf you donโt mind me replying, I am curious what you are asking. Could you provide more specifics or rephrase it? To check just in case, for the multiple suns and sky ring, have you been able to click on the hyperlinks that come up throughout the game that give more info on them? You also can get more lore dependent on which ethnos you are playing as & what levels your abilities are at in specific situations. Not sure how many times you have replayed, but if not a lot I recommend trying out routes with all the different choices to satiate your curiosity. โ Or are you asking for more details about what would be different about the planet? Like what possible different substances many things could be made of, how the seasons + tides could be different, more effects of the sky ring that wouldnโt be spoilers?
Gript
2024-07-06 00:06:21 +0000 UTCIt's all right. But yes, there are more and more comments with each update. And it's really getting hard for me to do as I used to do - reply to everyone. I hope people won't think I'm ignoring anyone if the audience grows.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-06 00:03:45 +0000 UTC1. You know, you could have already discovered this secret scene and not even know it xD I mean, there won't be a sign like, "Congratulations - you've discovered a secret scene!". I never use that sort of stuff. And that's another reason for me to keep my mouth shut about secret scenes next time. People have kind of overhyped to it. Well yes, there's a curious aspect of lore there, that makes you think about some things. But nothing, like, I dunno, a revelation or something. And no, you don't need to go back to 1.69 for it. 2. I used the word "villain" allegorically. You can definitely not expect that local Sauron to show up, or that the world is in danger and only you, the chosen one, can save it, blah, blah, blah. 3. You'll meet a lot of other characters. And Sargon gives you the book at the beginning of the second chapter. It's just that reading it is not like reading books in games. Each "reading" is basically a different scene. We've had two. A third is yet to come. 4. It's a story-driven game. So being in the troupe is non-alternative. Alas, recreating and modeling a whole world where you can be anyone and go anywhere you want - is above my capabilities.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-05 23:57:55 +0000 UTCThank you friend! ๐ To you as well. Seems you have already at least had your first play through but I am picturing more re-plays on your horizon. ๐
Gript
2024-07-05 23:54:03 +0000 UTCHope I am not too annoying you by asking so many questions as I really liked the Game and would be thrilled to get more lore info on the beautiful world u Made like multiple sun's and Saturn lite rings makes me wonder how such world might look if it's possible in reality
henrystickmin
2024-07-05 23:35:12 +0000 UTCI did not Mean to put you in awkward situation it's just that currently Game is like limited open world so I was wondering will it be long before we stumble upon main objective cause its only hinted at our origin what our objective is that's why it's reassuring to see there are multiple acts to come so game will be epic adventure for sure
henrystickmin
2024-07-05 23:28:41 +0000 UTC1. Never mind I will try and find the secret scene from clues you gave tho since it's not due to any specific abilities, is it due to how selenes personality,I will have to keep trying new combinations lol. Just tell me if I have to go back to 1.69 and try all combinations or it's triggerable from 1.7 2. Am also intrigued by the villain wonder if it's connected to our origin or the current wars going on in the region, maybe our troupe gets stuck in between warzone , that would be interesting. 3. Will we encounter more crazy hideous Beasts or some cannibal or mad cult tribes that would be one memorable encounter , and if it's possible can u insert inbuilt lore -encyclopedia that gets unlocked forever on stat screen as you gain knowledge or troupe leader gives us books to read if we are literate enough. 4. Is it possible to give number of ros there will be as currently apart from troupe most seem like one night funnies.
henrystickmin
2024-07-05 23:15:11 +0000 UTCYes, it's quite understandable that this kind of direct question should put you in an uncomfortable position. As for the "external factors"... You know D.E., I regularly follow the sad news that is hitting your country hard, and that's why I know that the last few weeks have been very complicated for everyone in and around your town;-๐ข...) So I can only wish you all the best for the continued development of your superb game. Anyway I'll see you soon, and I hope that you won't mind too much, but right now: I've got to go because I've got a super game to test after all;-๐...)!
Lonely Wolf
2024-07-05 21:42:30 +0000 UTCYou know, questions like that put me in an awkward position. On the one hand, I know how I want the story to end. On the other hand, it can be as concise as possible (about ~6 chapters) or more extended (~12 chapters). It will largely depend on the popularity or unpopularity of the game. Well, and if "external factors" don't drop a bomb on my head or something, of course.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-05 21:12:35 +0000 UTCRegarding your last question henrystickmin, I'm remember that Defiant Explorer replying to a fan that about a dozen chapters were planned; so hypothetically, that would mean a finale part approximately around a 12.0 chapter, I presume!-๐-!

HarleyQueen
2024-07-05 19:54:52 +0000 UTCOkay, I'll try... 1. The main villain, huh? What can I say... Villain to some, hero to others. And the most important choice will probably not be easy in either case and will unfold the events of the epilogue along two very different paths. That's all I can say. But it's a long, long, well, looong way off. 2. You will be performing. I hope to be able to insert this scene near the end of the second (current) chapter. 3. Secret scenes are secret. I honestly shouldn't have even mentioned it (note to myself for the future - don't hint at secret scenes!). However, any information needed for the plot will be, what's called, unavoidable. The rest... Well, gives food for thought, different vantage points, etc. 4. About Meralion. Who knows. Ask him yourself. Maybe even in the next update.
Defiant Explorer
2024-07-05 19:34:55 +0000 UTC1. man update was incredible, this game is epic one of the best choice-based games in terms of quality content. I can't wait to join the troupe back, miss my favorite masked gal lol, if you don't mind and it's not too spoilery is there some final path the story is going to like some main boss or apocalypse to defeat or survive or we keep traveling to different towns and act, haven't even performed in one play tho hope we get to do once. 2. And bro what is this secret path can you give a hint, unfortunately am just a college kid from a third-world country, and even if I want to pay for your Patreon. I can't, I tried all combinations does it trigger from 1.69? 3. One more thing you did poor Mer dirty I saved him and he still suffered from a case of missing leg lmao will he be now pissed at all of us lol? I can't wait for the next update 1.8 and will it go all the way to 10.0 or 10 acts?
henrystickmin
2024-07-05 19:21:11 +0000 UTCOh, okay. Hint posts are posted, as they should be, update posted... Hope I didn't mess up anywhere. I think that's it. I can take a little rest. Ugh, the last few days... Ah yes, thank you. I hope you enjoy it.
