Also, when launched through Itch, I can't get past the first image. I can click the image, but the rest of the ui doesn't unfold at all, like it should.
Interesting, that weird text glitch again. What browsers / platform are you using? I will add a default text colour next update. (Using any other browser in the meantime should resolve the problem, which can be used as a workaround. Every major browser renders fine on my machine, making a fix hard to test)
On the app not starting: can you open the dev tools (Ctrl-shift-I on most browsers) and find out what errors are in the console?
Firefox, Windows 8.1, high contrast theme with custom colors to give the 8.1 ui I dark theme. Sometimes firefox uses this (even when I tell it not to), which can cause issues with pages with any kind of undefined color anywhere on the page.
Here is what it looks like when I open it with edge:
How do I open the dev tools when launched through itch?
extremely well made , don't abandon please and keep working on you game. also i kinda liked the story outside of the eroticism. its decent progression and all. do you know any non erotic games like yours? like what where your inspirations?
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! For non-erotic inspiration, there is some really old stuff, wizardry and the 2d fallouts. But I mainly tried to capture the feel of modern lit-rpg webnovels, and covert the feel they have into an actual game
I extracted the zip file once it was downloaded...there's seemingly no apk??? I have no idea what to do. I don't exactly understand complex file fuckery, is there something I'm not getting?
It isn't a standalone app, the game is currently only available as a on-disk webpage. Opening index.html is how you run the game, but that requires you to extract the files with folders in tact, which isn't supported out of the box on android. I am looking into an apk version, but even if that works out, it will not be finished any time soon. I recommend just sticking with the itch.io web version if you can't get it to work
Go talk to Nooks and open the raid menu. Go send a graveyard raid (takes 10 guilders). Go do something else in-game while you wait for it to complete (doesn't take that long). Go start a guild meeting in the throne room to collect the rewards. Return to Nooks to turn in the quest
amazing game...but please think about a better solution in place of the notebook because this is extremely poorly made compared to everything else (you may want to put it on the left as an option or something like that)
sure it is something that is around more or less all the time so having it pop up in text every time seems kind of pointless
getting into your inventory/managing it feels slightly off because there is currently only this string of options all bundled together (with the slight nickpicking of a " , " at the end that should not be there there is enough space on the left/right so putting the inventory there would most likely fell better (even more if divided into equitable stuff, story stuff and ofc useable items)
other smaller things; would it be possible to make the player symbol on the map a different color? Normaly it is in the middle but in some places it is sadly not
Undershirt on model without breast looks like it has a slight amount of breast
You can befriend certain characters over the story, and strengthen your bonds with them through quests and interactions. But there are currently no traditional relationships you can peruse
Ah, that is a shame. Scrolling is automatically disabled on mobile. You can play there if you really don't like it. I will make a toggle to turn it off in the settings next version (Edit: the toggle has been added)
Have you equipped the [Ring of Undeath]? It lowers your Life resistance by 100%, reducing it from 100% heal, to 100% resist, stopping all healing effects except for sleeping
I am afraid that after the prologue, only the (male and female) slime fights exist, for now. New content is added every week, but there is a lot still to be developed
She should be in the Graveyard after building the Slime nest. She is on one of the bug tiles, if you see no bug tiles you have already run into her and it might take a while to respawn. You can try sleeping to advance the time somewhat
So, are you supposed to bottom out at 0 max flux after being swapped to being guildmaster as of 0.4.0? Makes it difficult to complete Fishladle's quest, even if there's not a huge point in doing so yet.
You are maxed out at 0 flux? How odd, your max should be 10. Have you tried sleeping in the bed? If that does not work, can you post a screenshot of the flux inside the 'Stats' menu of your notebook. (Auto flux regen when walking will make it in next update, shops that sell flux regen potions will come at a later date)
Strange, I will investigate. It appears you have gotten your stats deducted twice, was the last time you played this save v0.1.0? For now you can fix your flux by opening the debug console on the map (shift-D) and type 'set max_flux 13' to have to correct value. Base stats should be (max_hp 12, max_flux 10, strength 8, libido 8, skill 8, defense 8, wisdom 8)
I just noticed another thing. When talking with Fishladle it should be "Dayji senT me here". It looks like this mistake is made in multiple sentences. In the quest log in the quest "A new beginning; The sleeping servant" the sentence "An old servant OF Rogschard [...]" lacks the word "of".
It is a debug option for testing. If you really wish to turn that on, you can press (shift-D) while on the map and type 'has_penis true' or 'has_vagina true' respectively
This looks to be a very interesting game, with a well-thought -out story and world, but i've reached the point i have to find mona, send out the slimes, and recruit what i can only assume is a vampire, and none of them seem to be working? I've visited every tile in the graveyard and town and have yet to trigger any sort of event or have any dialogue other than having some time for my notebook. Is that part of the game simply not out?
Overall, though, this seems like a very good game and ill try to follow its progress.
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! Yes, I am afraid that you have reached the end of the content that is currently out. You can check the Quest log to see which quests are still under construction
I think "Why there suddenly is a portal in my bedroom?" should be "Why is there suddenly a portal in my bedroom?". And somehow a single "you" escaped from the sentence "we will watch you while work". Also, "your face adorned with a filthy gRin" (the r is not there, and it should be). When you get the quest [Going full nude, or not], it says "Got quest [Going full nude, oF not]".
Ah, I think I see the problem, I deleted the text to go down on the stairs accidentally. You can still use the Q (go down) hotkey to descent the stairs, I will upload a fix in 30 minutes
For christ sakes trash no sweep, why do you have to haunt my life.
Probably my fave part of this story so far is that item, reminds my of my own sweeping brush. It's useless and the head keeps falling off of it, or it just seems to always be in the way somehow.
I really like this sort of humor, it's great to see it and you should definitely add more of that here and there. Good writing so far, and I hope that you are able to make this into a wonderful game.
I also really like the ability to click on words to learn what they mean, and the lore behind them. Then even in the lore pages, you can click to see more lore or history. This is great and something that can be constantly expanded.
I like how easy and simple it is to start, play, save, and load the game.
I very rarely comment on these sections but I think this game/story has a lot of potential. The world itself seems super interesting and unique to me, crossing our reality into complete fantasy and mashing it together. Gives the vibe of the tv show 'carnival row' sort of, but more current time.
As for suggestions - editing is needed since there are various spelling or grammar errors. This is not really a bad thing since it's clearly early development right now.
I would say it's a bit too early to ask for much else in terms of feedback, good luck with future writing.
I have really enjoyed what I read so far~ excited to see where this will go! I am quite surprised on how detailed this world is and how much lore there is already. Great work on the intro as it really hooked me!
In the encounter with Nooks there's an option with an Exhibitionist perk, does that actually exist? And if so how is it obtained? Also I really like the game! I've played it for about two hours now and I'm looking around for secrets, if there are any.
Depends on what you are asking about. I expect the levelling system to be fully completed within a month or so, but making the actual skills and the encounters that use them will be an ongoing process
Mostly good though starting with what I find bad (though minor) first: When selecting a red highlight to continue, if the new text is longer than your browser window I have to scroll up to read the top part. It can also be annoying to navigate areas, (unless I'm missing keybinds) due to how "go east" etc is laid out.
(Bug/Spoilers) There's also a bug where when you accept the Kobold egg the scene restarts.
All that aside, this is still the best (though currently short) story based smut game I seen since CoC. Dialogue is amazing, fun and witty. More than just lewds. Readability is perfectly easy on my eyes. I really appreciate the race/character arts a lot as well. The 2 encounters felt creative rather than "press x do damage" and while I will probably assume some kind of basic RPG elements may exist, encounters like these are really great. The overall layout and clicking text to advance is still something I love despite complaining about how it makes movement slower.
Just keep doing what you're doing, it's high quality.
A nice start to be sure :3 I'm excited to see how this continues on! If you want help proofreading stuff, I'd be down to help sometimes, though I guess that'd spoil some things... Seems rude to keep a list of typos and then to just dump them all on you as reports though
That isn't rude at all, quite the opposite, it is really helpful! There is lots of text and I haven't had time to proofread most of it to a quality that I am happy with. Feel free to drop any typos you find in the comments. Posting the original sentence is enough for me to figure out what to correct
Here's the first batch. I really do like your writing style and humor :) I put [] around my proposed word/punctuation changes (except in the sentence that included [Trash-no-sweep], there I used <>), hopefully that's helpful, lmk if it isn't
I mean, the last time you caused any kind [of] serious accident was a decade ago
They [are] curious oddities, relics of a past that can never be returned to.
A girl, stark naked, hangs suspended between the fuse box'[s] wiring
(I am also just confused by what this means, I don't understand how big a Drainfly is. From this sentence, it sounds like she's *in* the fusebox, among the wires, but everything else makes it sound like Drainflies are the size of smallish humans... but some how still live in walls? I guess there is a wide range of sizes among humans, so how small is small? Like, there *are* 3 ft tall adult people, who might be able to squeeze in wall spaces, but not in a fuse box)
You feel the heat in your [veins] spike
Classes represent a person[']s skill in a field of arcane or martial study.
[Starter], Journeyman, Advanced, and[,] in rare cases[,] others.
When you hang with friends, [they] are your friends from work.
who[,] after following your [insistent] gaze[,] has started sticking out her chest,
and know all 'inspect' has t[au]ght you
You [throw] yourself at the Drainfly in an attempt to grab her.
Her dexterous [limbs] probe your body,
Against the wall of your utility closet lies [Trash-no-sweep] the barely <functioning> broom
the bolts holding the [brush] in place instantly come apart
being snapped in half, [accompanied] by a barrage of vindictive chittering.
You can see a thin trail of feminine excitement start to drizzle from between her [plump] legs.
Before you know it, your hands wander up her elegant legs, coming to rest on the sides her [plump] waist.
greedily grasping herself[ ]two handfuls of your chest. (delete the 'a' there)
The air grows even thicker with musk, your bodies [grow] hotter,
but still a far cry [from] the extravagant mix of life you would find at the market square.
However, business is nothing if not [stubborn] and stuck in its ways
In basic [terms], it was found that by super-sizing the chips

Instead, [Elven] males now spend their days

[Born] from the fruits of the great [tree]. (?)
[if only] for the fact she is barely wearing anything else. (you have "weren't it" which I'm guessing was supposed to be "if it weren't", but I think "if only" fits slightly better?)
causing the city blocks to [grow]
are fights between guilds for territory, often over a [district]
However, most districts have far [too few] monsters
This makes Whitehat guilds[ ]highly [dependent] on the size of their territory, or the presence of Grayhat and [Blackhat] guilds
Their dungeons [are] well loved targets of Whitehat
Dungeons are labyrinthine constructions [built] around a dungeon core, often [run] by a Blackhat guild[ and] used
Ok! Here's the rest that I caught in the prologue and Codex so far! Also, I assure you I didn't notice all of these in my original playthrough, this time I was reading very slowly for typos/grammar. I think I saved and tried all the branches for everything so hopefully caught aaaalllll the things. Sorry it's right before an update
capital is the only thing [worshipped] (apparently 1 p is also considered correct in American English, but it's less common than two p's)
[There] isn't much you have to hide, you are late,
'I see showing up for work [on time] is considered optional now, (there were two "now"s in the sentence, could be "I see showing up for work now is considered optional," or I suppose even "I see showing up for work is now considered optional" or if you wanted to maximize the nows to cover all the possible places it could be in the sentence "Now I now see showing up for work now is now considered optional now" XD lol)
After sniffing his nose, the sunken eyes ("sniffing his nose" is a bit weird, right? maybe "After giving a sniff"?)
[It's] a faxcee, an 'almost' computer,
It is like a laptop, if you squint [reeeeally] hard, (this shows up both in the in-story intro to faxcees and in the Codex entry)
There is way [too] many of them, they are arrogant,
tells you to 'show her the ropes', and sets out to [find] somebody to take this burden [off] of his hands. (this is also a bit weird, why is he setting out to find some one, he just dumped her on you, yeah? So maybe: "...tells you to 'show her the ropes', happy to find somebody...")
Nooks puts hard work in making sure people to think he is incompetent (I think should be "Nooks puts hard work into making sure people think he is incompetent" or maybe "Nooks puts hard work in making people to think he is incompetent")
nobody ever wondered what she [was] doing here
Within days, your fellow [colleagues] started greeting
Before you know it, she has pulled a first aid kit [from] somewhere,
one of [these] days you are going to end up dead
'Now [will you] take [off] your shirt[? Those] cuts need to be cleaned and bound.' (or else rework the next line to omit the reference to a rhetorical question, but I think I like Mona seeming like she's asking)
'Sure, I will take [off] my shirt.'
Mona['s] cute cheeks turn maroon,
Reaching for the [fifth]-
For a couple of [exciting] moments
her hot breath prickles your neck, and then [it's] over.
dependent on personal preference [than] gender roles.
Sex and romance are considered completely [unrelated] topics in Weredog society (? I'm not familiar with a definition of "untreated" that makes sense in that place, but it seems like the kind of word that might have a less common definition/usage that I don't know)
a monthly increase in sex drive brought on [by] pheromones
during the heat/[rut,] their instincts become so intensified
from getting fired more [than] once.
conduct your business [than] the middle of [the] cubicle block.
I have been standing here for [quite a few] minutes, (or "a couple of", you wound up with a mix of the two phrases XD)
[']She is right Nooks, we have been fooling around for far too long. Mekill will lynch us if he finds us dillydallying like this. It is time I get to work, and both of you too.['] (not formatted as speech, even though I believe it is meant to be the PC speaking)
waving you a warm goodbye, [despite], or perhaps due to her seat being
You can hear his fluffy tail slam against the back of your chair, as it wags excitedly from left to right. (how is his tail hitting the chair when he's up against the PC's back? I assumed I was sitting back in the chair with the front of his pelvis up against my [and thus the chair's] back, especially with Mona's comment about "a horny dog humping an office chair", so maybe his tail would be hitting the PC's desk or cubicle wall?)
Ask [Mona] for her opinion about the guilds.
somewhat fondly on the guild[ ]for bringing a feeling of resistance to a ever corporatizing world[ ]and (lol, usually I think you need more commas, I'm a comma fiend, but I hold back when it's all clear enough. I think this is the first case in your writing where I think they're confusing/uneeded)
the hair on the back of your neck [stands] up, (or "the hairs... stand")
A thing seems to click and clack [behind] you,
You can almost sense the horrid mass[ ]slither and pulse (omit the "it" or change to "as it slithers and pulses")
Mona [whispers], as she takes your hands.
(Mona, why are you telling me I'm not special??? ;-; I'm very cool. I'm going to become a Journeyman in a combat class someday, just you wait! Lol)
Join me, my Noodle, let us [elope] to (or "flee to", since elope tends to have a marriage connotation, but I feel like that also fits with Nooks' joke suggestion, interlope means like, intrude. I named my character Noodle for some reason, ignore that...)
Nooks['] tail starts to wag as [he] [repositions] himself
and inside a blackhat guild there is more to do [than] hunting monsters
spies to be caught, and [egos] to be stroked.
I think [it's] fairies again, and I really need a extra pair of hands.' He asks, giving quite a different reply [than] you were expecting.
that [none] who lived only before the Replication would have likened to a printer.
[It's] worse [than] normal this month,
But I like to be a rampaging sex demon on my own [terms],
And besides,[ I] have work to do, and forms fill,
Lets give them one hell [of] a whooping this time,
Then, you throw [off] your suit, and go completely nude.
From the printer's [bowels] erupts a roaring hiss, follow by a [bolt] of lighting.
[Nooks] grunts, as a squirt of sticky precum pulses from the tip.
More [than] happy to oblige,
'You don't do this often, [do] you, cutie?' (or "'You [do] this often, don't you, cutie?')
With his dick firmly [plugging] up your hole
but his [excited] puppy eyes melt your heart into submission
Suddenly, your peaceful break is interrupted by a [loud] voice.
Feeling [too] important to do your jobs, ey?
perhaps due to the fact they ran into none of[ your] ugly mugs
so it might be in our best interest to all show up with a massive hangover.' Nooks [suggests]
After you sit down[ ]next to her (or "After you [take a] seat next to her")
brought into existence by the dragons, to [serve] their every whim.
more successful species [than] their own creators, and became far more numerous [than] there were dragons in need of service.
common sight in most of the world, even where [there] are no dragons
a small number of kobolds [are] born (pretty sure... all this editing is making all words and grammar look fake @___@, but I'm so close to caught up!)
and an endless array of incompatible nuts and [bolts],
Then she stands up, and makes [a] bow so deep
making her big tail slam excitedly into a nearby [shelf],
her large fluffy abdomen makes you [instinctively] want to hug it.
from the silkmoth, the Bombix [mori]. (feels pendantic, but I taught biology for a bit and for my students' sakes can't not mention it, lol, in Latin/taxonomic names, the genus gets capitalized, but the species does not)
but their wing muscles are [too] weak to for upward flight.
Common size, four arms, sizable white or gray wings, (... the picture of Dayji only has two arms, right?)
into a force able to go [head to head] with Greater Amsterdam's ruling powers. (I think it's "head to head" or "toe to toe", right?)
Fishladle appears to be walking a [bit] stiffly,
I will have that [stiffness] out of your shoulders
Fishladle [continues] to sit still, her whole body seeming to grow shamefully warm.
You feel her [bowels] contract once more,
You drink cheap [wine] and cheaper spirits. Fishladle keeps dutifully [topping] off
(XD I fucking love [Trash-no-sweep])
Species:
Humans, [Elves], Orcs, (I know both are right, but usually I think most works pick one and stick with it and you use Elves rather than Elfs most of the time, so if you wanted to be internally consistent then the Codex directory should be edited)
Before you stands a display, containing a replica of the Hougeton, the [grimoire]
(lol, currently with the end of the prologue dumping you out on the street after claiming the Hougeton, but not progressing anything in Dayji's, you can go back in and sit down to feast again and wind up with multiple Hougetons)
So many typos, so much shame. Gracias, oh delightful human, I have made the corrections. I was aware of the grimoire thing, you have to be able to restart the scene once I make the update in order to make the next step in the event trigger. Just consider the multiple Hougetons a badge of honour
Wow i really like this game so far! Honestly can't wait to see the way it goes if everything goes as planned!
Only problem i actually found are a good bit of typos so far beside that it seems good so far! Can't wait to check out the next update keep up the good work!!
The game won't load for me, I get the Rogshard title card, but no start buttons or anything else. I also couldn't spot a load indicator, so the game seems to be stuck for me. I'm using the latest Firefox build
Right, it seems to be because it's attempting to access the browser storage, and isn't allowed to by the browser. (There appears to be some max size limit imposed by your installation of Firefox, perhaps due to incognito mode) There is some code in the game that should protect against this, but it appears it isn't working in a 100% of the cases. Thank you for reporting! I will put it on the list with things that need to be fixed (for now, using another browser or going out of incognito mode should work)
No worries, there is a chance that you're not the only one this happens too, just the only one bothering to report this. That text does seem awfully transparent, it really isn't supposed to look like that. I will do some testing around seeing if I can find something. Does it look like that on other browsers for you too?
Incredibly charming! Rare case of erotica that actually has a fun game behind it. The writing is tidy, and is very reminiscent of webcomics I read growing up, especially that broom. Can't wait to see where this game goes, I love it so far, and the art's also great.
Noooo, it ends so fast ! Well that's to be expected, but that introduction made me quite into it and eager for more. (love the broom as both a silly thing that can serve as running gag and apparently fate's tool too. Don't know why but it gave me some Discworld feel).
I don't really feel like exploring how much content there is in the world outside of the story for now, but will follow for sure the updates this is getting.
Also, for the only thing I can report for now : the loading was imperfect if done during the printer fight. Not sure why but some actions that would make the fight advance would not get undone by loading one turn back unlike the loss of my health, and unlike any loading during the first battle that went really fine (unless I haven't noticed). I'm not sure what is different nor if it is reproducible or just a one-time occurence.
Oh, I think I had that happen too. I saved at the beginning of the fight, and then did [insight], and then I loaded it to see what happened if I did the other things before [insight], but it proceeded as if I had already done [insight] (with the info you get from it in the battle header text that precedes the decisions each time), I'm not sure if it was a load error, or if doing the other things kind of make it assume [insight] was already done?
btw there are some attribut-based choices in the game that require higher attributes than the mc has by default. i assume you can't increase your attributes yet? at least i didn't find a way before hitting the end of the current build
Yes, in the prologue it is impossible to succeed them. They are there to teach the player what the stats are for. The game will open up after this, and the skill checks will actually matter
I am glad you liked it! Feel free to drop any typos in comments if you come across them. Or you can wait for further updates, I will catch them the next time I read through the segments
The last sentence has one "rather" too much. Those are the typos that i can recall at the top of my head. there have been a few more but don't remember where exactly they were.
I encountered a bug where if i was defeated by drainfly on the first day and then went to work the second die and tried to fix the printer i am attacked by a drain fly and am teleported back home, even though i was at work.

This text is frankly illegible and makes it very akward and annoying to play. It looks like this text has no defined color, which means my browser uses the system default. Also, when launched through Itch, I can't get past the first image. I can click the image, but the rest of the ui doesn't unfold at all, like it should.

How do I open the dev tools when launched through itch?
The colors are fixed, Thanks!
The Itch version is still broken, and Ctrl-shift-I doesn't open the dev tools on itch like it does on firefox.
Strange that the dev console won't boot, is this on the itch app download version, or on a browser on the itch.io website?
I'm blown away by the world-building you've done here. You also write so well! I enjoyed playing this very much :)
Thank you, happy to hear you liked it!
What are the...ahem...kinks if any?
As of the current build:
With more to come in later updates
Say no more. I'm in.
extremely well made , don't abandon please and keep working on you game. also i kinda liked the story outside of the eroticism. its decent progression and all. do you know any non erotic games like yours? like what where your inspirations?
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! For non-erotic inspiration, there is some really old stuff, wizardry and the 2d fallouts. But I mainly tried to capture the feel of modern lit-rpg webnovels, and covert the feel they have into an actual game
thanks. lovely game
I get a source code error when I try and play this unfortunately.
What device are you on and what is the error?
Thought it was a CoC spiritual succesor, but it managed to differentiate from CoC by a lot. Great start, hope you keep up the good work :)
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it!
I extracted the zip file once it was downloaded...there's seemingly no apk??? I have no idea what to do. I don't exactly understand complex file fuckery, is there something I'm not getting?
It isn't a standalone app, the game is currently only available as a on-disk webpage. Opening index.html is how you run the game, but that requires you to extract the files with folders in tact, which isn't supported out of the box on android. I am looking into an apk version, but even if that works out, it will not be finished any time soon. I recommend just sticking with the itch.io web version if you can't get it to work
Make it download able please..
I'm mobile user
Is there a downloadable version ? I would love to play this game but I can only play offline
The itch.io desktop app automatically downloads the files to your computer when installing a game, you can use this to play offline even for web games
How do I get this A new beginning; Monster raid
Go talk to Nooks and open the raid menu. Go send a graveyard raid (takes 10 guilders). Go do something else in-game while you wait for it to complete (doesn't take that long). Go start a guild meeting in the throne room to collect the rewards. Return to Nooks to turn in the quest
amazing game...but please think about a better solution in place of the notebook because this is extremely poorly made compared to everything else (you may want to put it on the left as an option or something like that)
other than that ..i am hooked, feed me more XD
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! Interesting feedback, can you describe what parts of the notebook you did not like?
sure
it is something that is around more or less all the time so having it pop up in text every time seems kind of pointless
getting into your inventory/managing it feels slightly off because there is currently only this string of options all bundled together (with the slight nickpicking of a " , " at the end that should not be there
there is enough space on the left/right so putting the inventory there would most likely fell better (even more if divided into equitable stuff, story stuff and ofc useable items)
other smaller things; would it be possible to make the player symbol on the map a different color? Normaly it is in the middle but in some places it is sadly not
Undershirt on model without breast looks like it has a slight amount of breast
Ok, noted. Thank you for your feedback!
I have the quests for the slime dungeon but can't find it anywhere, help?
For building the slime nest? Keep going east from the Throne room until you see a Fluid tile
don't know if this is a sily question but, is there romance in this game? or some sort of deep relationships we can enter in with other characters?
You can befriend certain characters over the story, and strengthen your bonds with them through quests and interactions. But there are currently no traditional relationships you can peruse
The scrolling thing is... irritating.
Ah, that is a shame. Scrolling is automatically disabled on mobile. You can play there if you really don't like it. I will make a toggle to turn it off in the settings next version (Edit: the toggle has been added)
It's not for me but I don't mind lol
The healing doesn't work
Have you equipped the [Ring of Undeath]? It lowers your Life resistance by 100%, reducing it from 100% heal, to 100% resist, stopping all healing effects except for sleeping
thank you that was the issue
Hey, is there any other monsters besides the lanterfly and male slime? I can't find anymore after that
I am afraid that after the prologue, only the (male and female) slime fights exist, for now. New content is added every week, but there is a lot still to be developed
where is the female slime? I can't find her lol
She should be in the Graveyard after building the Slime nest. She is on one of the bug tiles, if you see no bug tiles you have already run into her and it might take a while to respawn. You can try sleeping to advance the time somewhat
I can only find one bug tile and it's the male one
Edit: nvm, found her
Which version of Undum are you using, out of curiosity? Just the main branch, or a fork?
The main branch, but heavily modified. If you want to know how things are done, feel free to open your browser's dev tools and poke around in the code
So, are you supposed to bottom out at 0 max flux after being swapped to being guildmaster as of 0.4.0? Makes it difficult to complete Fishladle's quest, even if there's not a huge point in doing so yet.
You are maxed out at 0 flux? How odd, your max should be 10. Have you tried sleeping in the bed? If that does not work, can you post a screenshot of the flux inside the 'Stats' menu of your notebook. (Auto flux regen when walking will make it in next update, shops that sell flux regen potions will come at a later date)
Technically I max out at 3 thanks to trying to boost it, but otherwise yeah.
Strange, I will investigate. It appears you have gotten your stats deducted twice, was the last time you played this save v0.1.0? For now you can fix your flux by opening the debug console on the map (shift-D) and type 'set max_flux 13' to have to correct value. Base stats should be (max_hp 12, max_flux 10, strength 8, libido 8, skill 8, defense 8, wisdom 8)
That may have been it, or otherwise similar. Thanks for the quick follow-up.
I just noticed another thing. When talking with Fishladle it should be "Dayji senT me here". It looks like this mistake is made in multiple sentences. In the quest log in the quest "A new beginning; The sleeping servant" the sentence "An old servant OF Rogschard [...]" lacks the word "of".
Thank you for reporting! I will make sure they are fixed in the next update
I saw that in the images you can be a hermaphrodite but I can’t select that option in the game? Is that a later addition?
It is a debug option for testing. If you really wish to turn that on, you can press (shift-D) while on the map and type 'has_penis true' or 'has_vagina true' respectively
Thanks!
This looks to be a very interesting game, with a well-thought -out story and world, but i've reached the point i have to find mona, send out the slimes, and recruit what i can only assume is a vampire, and none of them seem to be working? I've visited every tile in the graveyard and town and have yet to trigger any sort of event or have any dialogue other than having some time for my notebook. Is that part of the game simply not out?
Overall, though, this seems like a very good game and ill try to follow its progress.
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! Yes, I am afraid that you have reached the end of the content that is currently out. You can check the Quest log to see which quests are still under construction
Ah, I see it now. Thank you so much. It's a great game
I think "Why there suddenly is a portal in my bedroom?" should be "Why is there suddenly a portal in my bedroom?". And somehow a single "you" escaped from the sentence "we will watch you while work". Also, "your face adorned with a filthy gRin" (the r is not there, and it should be). When you get the quest [Going full nude, or not], it says "Got quest [Going full nude, oF not]".
Thanks for reporting! I will make sure they are corrected in the next update
When you first go into Dayji's shop and Mona and Nooks are sitting at the table it says "Nona and Nooks"
Thanks for reporting! I will make sure it is fixed in the next update
It is not letting me past this point when you try to leave the building after work
Strange, can you tell me a bit more about what is happening, perhaps share a screenshot where you are stuck?
Ah, I think I see the problem, I deleted the text to go down on the stairs accidentally. You can still use the Q (go down) hotkey to descent the stairs, I will upload a fix in 30 minutes
Thank you and I did post a screenshot but it didn't load by the looks of it. God don't you just love itch?
Fix is up, thanks for reporting!
For christ sakes trash no sweep, why do you have to haunt my life.
Probably my fave part of this story so far is that item, reminds my of my own sweeping brush. It's useless and the head keeps falling off of it, or it just seems to always be in the way somehow.
I really like this sort of humor, it's great to see it and you should definitely add more of that here and there. Good writing so far, and I hope that you are able to make this into a wonderful game.
I also really like the ability to click on words to learn what they mean, and the lore behind them. Then even in the lore pages, you can click to see more lore or history. This is great and something that can be constantly expanded.
I like how easy and simple it is to start, play, save, and load the game.
I very rarely comment on these sections but I think this game/story has a lot of potential. The world itself seems super interesting and unique to me, crossing our reality into complete fantasy and mashing it together. Gives the vibe of the tv show 'carnival row' sort of, but more current time.
As for suggestions - editing is needed since there are various spelling or grammar errors. This is not really a bad thing since it's clearly early development right now.
I would say it's a bit too early to ask for much else in terms of feedback, good luck with future writing.
I have really enjoyed what I read so far~ excited to see where this will go! I am quite surprised on how detailed this world is and how much lore there is already. Great work on the intro as it really hooked me!
In the encounter with Nooks there's an option with an Exhibitionist perk, does that actually exist? And if so how is it obtained? Also I really like the game! I've played it for about two hours now and I'm looking around for secrets, if there are any.
You can't alter the player character's perks and stats in the prologue, but you will be able to get it in the game later (once that part is made)
(I just realized I forgot to ask) But when might that part be made? If you have a general area of time.
Depends on what you are asking about. I expect the levelling system to be fully completed within a month or so, but making the actual skills and the encounters that use them will be an ongoing process
Mostly good though starting with what I find bad (though minor) first: When selecting a red highlight to continue, if the new text is longer than your browser window I have to scroll up to read the top part. It can also be annoying to navigate areas, (unless I'm missing keybinds) due to how "go east" etc is laid out.
(Bug/Spoilers) There's also a bug where when you accept the Kobold egg the scene restarts.
All that aside, this is still the best (though currently short) story based smut game I seen since CoC. Dialogue is amazing, fun and witty. More than just lewds. Readability is perfectly easy on my eyes. I really appreciate the race/character arts a lot as well. The 2 encounters felt creative rather than "press x do damage" and while I will probably assume some kind of basic RPG elements may exist, encounters like these are really great. The overall layout and clicking text to advance is still something I love despite complaining about how it makes movement slower.
Just keep doing what you're doing, it's high quality.
Thank you! There will be hotkeys to navigate around in the next update. I will put the bug on the list
A nice start to be sure :3 I'm excited to see how this continues on! If you want help proofreading stuff, I'd be down to help sometimes, though I guess that'd spoil some things... Seems rude to keep a list of typos and then to just dump them all on you as reports though
That isn't rude at all, quite the opposite, it is really helpful! There is lots of text and I haven't had time to proofread most of it to a quality that I am happy with. Feel free to drop any typos you find in the comments. Posting the original sentence is enough for me to figure out what to correct
alright, maybe I'll do another playthrough on my computer this weekend for copy pasta ease
Here's the first batch. I really do like your writing style and humor :) I put [] around my proposed word/punctuation changes (except in the sentence that included [Trash-no-sweep], there I used <>), hopefully that's helpful, lmk if it isn't
I mean, the last time you caused any kind [of] serious accident was a decade ago
They [are] curious oddities, relics of a past that can never be returned to.
A girl, stark naked, hangs suspended between the fuse box'[s] wiring
(I am also just confused by what this means, I don't understand how big a Drainfly is. From this sentence, it sounds like she's *in* the fusebox, among the wires, but everything else makes it sound like Drainflies are the size of smallish humans... but some how still live in walls? I guess there is a wide range of sizes among humans, so how small is small? Like, there *are* 3 ft tall adult people, who might be able to squeeze in wall spaces, but not in a fuse box)
You feel the heat in your [veins] spike
Classes represent a person[']s skill in a field of arcane or martial study.
[Starter], Journeyman, Advanced, and[,] in rare cases[,] others.
When you hang with friends, [they] are your friends from work.
who[,] after following your [insistent] gaze[,] has started sticking out her chest,
and know all 'inspect' has t[au]ght you
You [throw] yourself at the Drainfly in an attempt to grab her.
Her dexterous [limbs] probe your body,
Against the wall of your utility closet lies [Trash-no-sweep] the barely <functioning> broom
the bolts holding the [brush] in place instantly come apart
being snapped in half, [accompanied] by a barrage of vindictive chittering.
You can see a thin trail of feminine excitement start to drizzle from between her [plump] legs.
Before you know it, your hands wander up her elegant legs, coming to rest on the sides her [plump] waist.
greedily grasping herself[ ]two handfuls of your chest. (delete the 'a' there)
The air grows even thicker with musk, your bodies [grow] hotter,
but still a far cry [from] the extravagant mix of life you would find at the market square.
However, business is nothing if not [stubborn] and stuck in its ways
In basic [terms], it was found that by super-sizing the chips
a sin so great that reality itself cannot [bear] the sight of it.
Elven males [started] largely forgoing relationships with their female counterparts
Instead, [Elven] males now spend their days

[Born] from the fruits of the great [tree]. (?)
[if only] for the fact she is barely wearing anything else. (you have "weren't it" which I'm guessing was supposed to be "if it weren't", but I think "if only" fits slightly better?)
causing the city blocks to [grow]
are fights between guilds for territory, often over a [district]
However, most districts have far [too few] monsters
This makes Whitehat guilds[ ]highly [dependent] on the size of their territory, or the presence of Grayhat and [Blackhat] guilds
Their dungeons [are] well loved targets of Whitehat
Dungeons are labyrinthine constructions [built] around a dungeon core, often [run] by a Blackhat guild[ and] used
Thank you for the hard work! This way of reporting works perfectly for me. The fixes will be in the update tomorrow
Ok! Here's the rest that I caught in the prologue and Codex so far! Also, I assure you I didn't notice all of these in my original playthrough, this time I was reading very slowly for typos/grammar. I think I saved and tried all the branches for everything so hopefully caught aaaalllll the things. Sorry it's right before an update
capital is the only thing [worshipped] (apparently 1 p is also considered correct in American English, but it's less common than two p's)
[There] isn't much you have to hide, you are late,
'I see showing up for work [on time] is considered optional now, (there were two "now"s in the sentence, could be "I see showing up for work now is considered optional," or I suppose even "I see showing up for work is now considered optional" or if you wanted to maximize the nows to cover all the possible places it could be in the sentence "Now I now see showing up for work now is now considered optional now" XD lol)
After sniffing his nose, the sunken eyes ("sniffing his nose" is a bit weird, right? maybe "After giving a sniff"?)
[It's] a faxcee, an 'almost' computer,
It is like a laptop, if you squint [reeeeally] hard, (this shows up both in the in-story intro to faxcees and in the Codex entry)
There is way [too] many of them, they are arrogant,
tells you to 'show her the ropes', and sets out to [find] somebody to take this burden [off] of his hands. (this is also a bit weird, why is he setting out to find some one, he just dumped her on you, yeah? So maybe: "...tells you to 'show her the ropes', happy to find somebody...")
Nooks puts hard work in making sure people to think he is incompetent (I think should be "Nooks puts hard work into making sure people think he is incompetent" or maybe "Nooks puts hard work in making people to think he is incompetent")
nobody ever wondered what she [was] doing here
Within days, your fellow [colleagues] started greeting
Before you know it, she has pulled a first aid kit [from] somewhere,
one of [these] days you are going to end up dead
'Now [will you] take [off] your shirt[? Those] cuts need to be cleaned and bound.' (or else rework the next line to omit the reference to a rhetorical question, but I think I like Mona seeming like she's asking)
'Sure, I will take [off] my shirt.'
Mona['s] cute cheeks turn maroon,
Reaching for the [fifth]-
For a couple of [exciting] moments
her hot breath prickles your neck, and then [it's] over.
dependent on personal preference [than] gender roles.
Sex and romance are considered completely [unrelated] topics in Weredog society (? I'm not familiar with a definition of "untreated" that makes sense in that place, but it seems like the kind of word that might have a less common definition/usage that I don't know)
a monthly increase in sex drive brought on [by] pheromones
during the heat/[rut,] their instincts become so intensified
from getting fired more [than] once.
conduct your business [than] the middle of [the] cubicle block.
I have been standing here for [quite a few] minutes, (or "a couple of", you wound up with a mix of the two phrases XD)
[']She is right Nooks, we have been fooling around for far too long. Mekill will lynch us if he finds us dillydallying like this. It is time I get to work, and both of you too.['] (not formatted as speech, even though I believe it is meant to be the PC speaking)
waving you a warm goodbye, [despite], or perhaps due to her seat being
You can hear his fluffy tail slam against the back of your chair, as it wags excitedly from left to right. (how is his tail hitting the chair when he's up against the PC's back? I assumed I was sitting back in the chair with the front of his pelvis up against my [and thus the chair's] back, especially with Mona's comment about "a horny dog humping an office chair", so maybe his tail would be hitting the PC's desk or cubicle wall?)
Ask [Mona] for her opinion about the guilds.
somewhat fondly on the guild[ ]for bringing a feeling of resistance to a ever corporatizing world[ ]and (lol, usually I think you need more commas, I'm a comma fiend, but I hold back when it's all clear enough. I think this is the first case in your writing where I think they're confusing/uneeded)
the hair on the back of your neck [stands] up, (or "the hairs... stand")
A thing seems to click and clack [behind] you,
You can almost sense the horrid mass[ ]slither and pulse (omit the "it" or change to "as it slithers and pulses")
Mona [whispers], as she takes your hands.
(Mona, why are you telling me I'm not special??? ;-; I'm very cool. I'm going to become a Journeyman in a combat class someday, just you wait! Lol)
Join me, my Noodle, let us [elope] to (or "flee to", since elope tends to have a marriage connotation, but I feel like that also fits with Nooks' joke suggestion, interlope means like, intrude. I named my character Noodle for some reason, ignore that...)
Nooks['] tail starts to wag as [he] [repositions] himself
and inside a blackhat guild there is more to do [than] hunting monsters
spies to be caught, and [egos] to be stroked.
I think [it's] fairies again, and I really need a extra pair of hands.' He asks, giving quite a different reply [than] you were expecting.
that [none] who lived only before the Replication would have likened to a printer.
[It's] worse [than] normal this month,
But I like to be a rampaging sex demon on my own [terms],
And besides,[ I] have work to do, and forms fill,
Lets give them one hell [of] a whooping this time,
Then, you throw [off] your suit, and go completely nude.
From the printer's [bowels] erupts a roaring hiss, follow by a [bolt] of lighting.
[Nooks] grunts, as a squirt of sticky precum pulses from the tip.
More [than] happy to oblige,
'You don't do this often, [do] you, cutie?' (or "'You [do] this often, don't you, cutie?')
With his dick firmly [plugging] up your hole
but his [excited] puppy eyes melt your heart into submission
Suddenly, your peaceful break is interrupted by a [loud] voice.
Feeling [too] important to do your jobs, ey?
perhaps due to the fact they ran into none of[ your] ugly mugs
so it might be in our best interest to all show up with a massive hangover.' Nooks [suggests]
After you sit down[ ]next to her (or "After you [take a] seat next to her")
brought into existence by the dragons, to [serve] their every whim.
more successful species [than] their own creators, and became far more numerous [than] there were dragons in need of service.
common sight in most of the world, even where [there] are no dragons
a small number of kobolds [are] born (pretty sure... all this editing is making all words and grammar look fake @___@, but I'm so close to caught up!)
and an endless array of incompatible nuts and [bolts],
Then she stands up, and makes [a] bow so deep
making her big tail slam excitedly into a nearby [shelf],
her large fluffy abdomen makes you [instinctively] want to hug it.
from the silkmoth, the Bombix [mori]. (feels pendantic, but I taught biology for a bit and for my students' sakes can't not mention it, lol, in Latin/taxonomic names, the genus gets capitalized, but the species does not)
but their wing muscles are [too] weak to for upward flight.
Common size, four arms, sizable white or gray wings, (... the picture of Dayji only has two arms, right?)
into a force able to go [head to head] with Greater Amsterdam's ruling powers. (I think it's "head to head" or "toe to toe", right?)
Fishladle appears to be walking a [bit] stiffly,
I will have that [stiffness] out of your shoulders
Fishladle [continues] to sit still, her whole body seeming to grow shamefully warm.
You feel her [bowels] contract once more,
You drink cheap [wine] and cheaper spirits. Fishladle keeps dutifully [topping] off
(XD I fucking love [Trash-no-sweep])
Species:
Humans, [Elves], Orcs, (I know both are right, but usually I think most works pick one and stick with it and you use Elves rather than Elfs most of the time, so if you wanted to be internally consistent then the Codex directory should be edited)
Before you stands a display, containing a replica of the Hougeton, the [grimoire]
(lol, currently with the end of the prologue dumping you out on the street after claiming the Hougeton, but not progressing anything in Dayji's, you can go back in and sit down to feast again and wind up with multiple Hougetons)
So many typos, so much shame. Gracias, oh delightful human, I have made the corrections. I was aware of the grimoire thing, you have to be able to restart the scene once I make the update in order to make the next step in the event trigger. Just consider the multiple Hougetons a badge of honour
Wow i really like this game so far! Honestly can't wait to see the way it goes if everything goes as planned!
Only problem i actually found are a good bit of typos so far beside that it seems good so far! Can't wait to check out the next update keep up the good work!!
Definitely seems like a fun game, can't wait for it to get fleshed out a little!
There's also a small spelling mistake at the beginning: "Considering you where woken up by your alarm clock, it must be around 6 in the morning."
Happy to hear you enjoyed it! I have put the typo on the list for the next update
What should I do if I want to play this not in browser
For now, the game is web only
If you have the itch desktop app you can download web games and play them in their own window as if they were an .exe game.
Oh, awesome! I didn't know that
The game won't load for me, I get the Rogshard title card, but no start buttons or anything else. I also couldn't spot a load indicator, so the game seems to be stuck for me. I'm using the latest Firefox build
try clicking it
I've probably clicked every pixel of that graphic separately
How unfortunate, can you try opening the browser dev tools (ctrl+shift+i) and go to the console to see what messages are in there?
That's the console output
Right, it seems to be because it's attempting to access the browser storage, and isn't allowed to by the browser. (There appears to be some max size limit imposed by your installation of Firefox, perhaps due to incognito mode) There is some code in the game that should protect against this, but it appears it isn't working in a 100% of the cases. Thank you for reporting! I will put it on the list with things that need to be fixed (for now, using another browser or going out of incognito mode should work)
its good but you might wanna chnage the text colors so its easier to read
Glad you liked it! Is the red link text hard to read for you, or the black regular text?
For me the color black is like the same color as then background so might be just my problem idk
How weird, the background is supposed to look like paper. Can you share a screenshot?
If it may be just for me ill fix it on my side and thank you for ya time on talking to me about this
No worries, there is a chance that you're not the only one this happens too, just the only one bothering to report this. That text does seem awfully transparent, it really isn't supposed to look like that. I will do some testing around seeing if I can find something. Does it look like that on other browsers for you too?
Incredibly charming! Rare case of erotica that actually has a fun game behind it. The writing is tidy, and is very reminiscent of webcomics I read growing up, especially that broom. Can't wait to see where this game goes, I love it so far, and the art's also great.
Noooo, it ends so fast !
Well that's to be expected, but that introduction made me quite into it and eager for more. (love the broom as both a silly thing that can serve as running gag and apparently fate's tool too. Don't know why but it gave me some Discworld feel).
I don't really feel like exploring how much content there is in the world outside of the story for now, but will follow for sure the updates this is getting.
Also, for the only thing I can report for now : the loading was imperfect if done during the printer fight. Not sure why but some actions that would make the fight advance would not get undone by loading one turn back unlike the loss of my health, and unlike any loading during the first battle that went really fine (unless I haven't noticed). I'm not sure what is different nor if it is reproducible or just a one-time occurence.
Thanks for reporting, I will take a look
Oh, I think I had that happen too. I saved at the beginning of the fight, and then did [insight], and then I loaded it to see what happened if I did the other things before [insight], but it proceeded as if I had already done [insight] (with the info you get from it in the battle header text that precedes the decisions each time), I'm not sure if it was a load error, or if doing the other things kind of make it assume [insight] was already done?
btw there are some attribut-based choices in the game that require higher attributes than the mc has by default. i assume you can't increase your attributes yet? at least i didn't find a way before hitting the end of the current build
Yes, in the prologue it is impossible to succeed them. They are there to teach the player what the stats are for. The game will open up after this, and the skill checks will actually matter
why isn’t there a more like this button on this game
Looks promising so far. Looking forward to the next update. Didn't encounter any bugs but there are typos here and there.
I am glad you liked it! Feel free to drop any typos in comments if you come across them. Or you can wait for further updates, I will catch them the next time I read through the segments
line 3: "then she looks"
Do you really mean "arc-wizard" or did you want to say "arch-wizard"?
The last sentence has one "rather" too much. Those are the typos that i can recall at the top of my head. there have been a few more but don't remember where exactly they were.
Drat, the though one always sneaks in. A file search revealed about 20 more of them. My shame is all-consuming :P
Any chance for a Download verson?
One day, perhaps. But for the time being it is web only
Alrighty, thanks for the quick reply : )
I encountered a bug where if i was defeated by drainfly on the first day and then went to work the second die and tried to fix the printer i am attacked by a drain fly and am teleported back home, even though i was at work.
How odd, give me 30 minutes, I will upload a fix
Found the bug, there was a mistake in the enemy move-list selector. The fix is pushed. Thank you for reporting!
There is a broken hyperlink for dungeon when talking to nook in his office. Also holy moly nook is a heck of a soft dom.
Thank you, I have put it on the list for the next hotfix
